Chapter 4 A Sense Of Pressure
After he left, Jason lay on the sofa lazily.
His uncle wanted to take the illegitimate child Albert home. How could he allow her to take his position as successor?
As long as Albert died, he would be the last successor of the Rong family in J City.
Therefore, Albert had to die.
When Albert followed her memory to find her home, the door was locked and all the people in the house were asleep.
In fact, this house was not her own house, but her aunt's. Albert's mother was the lover of James Rong who was the head of the Rong family in J City. James lied to that poor woman. After she gave birth to Albert, she realized that James have had a family, and the Rong family refused to recognize them. So she had to place Albert in her sister's home, and soon she died of illness.
But Albert's memory told her clearly that the poor woman was killed by Simone Zhou, the legal wife of James.
Therefore, Albert hated the Rong family more.
Without waking up the person inside to open the door for her, Albert climbed over the wall and walked in.
Albert's aunt was not a good person, and her cousin, Ivy Yun, just treated her as a burden.
Albert walked directly to a small room in the southwest corner of the courtyard. When she opened the door, she smelled something musty.
It was just a storage room. On one side there were all kinds of old things, and on the other side there was a small bed and a desk, not even a cabinet.
Albert took off her clothes. Her fair skin was covered with bruises everywhere, and there was a bandage on her chest. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, she was probably malnourished and developed slowly. With the bandage wrapped around her chest, you could hardly notice that Albert was actually a girl.
Albert wiped the dirt on her body casually, changed a new bandage, put on the worn clothes and lay directly on the bed.
She had to keep up her spirit. There would be a battle tomorrow.
Early in the morning, there was a sound of swearing outside, and the knock on the door was getting heavier, waking up Albert. There was a trace of displeasure on Albert's handsome face, and her confused brain gradually came to her senses. She sat up with her hands against the bed, looking at this messy room, with a cold dark light flashing in her eyes.
It turned out that what happened last night was not a dream.
She died and she was born again.
'My dear sister, are you ready to welcome me back?'
Albert shook her head, and her thin short hair covered the sharp corners of her eyes. Her thin lips were slightly upturned, and his delicate face even showed a bit of evil spirit.
The women outside were still cursing. She talked all kinds of nonsense, and the neighbors were not surprised.
Carol Bai scolded for nearly half an hour, she even tried to smash the door. It was not until then that Albert opened the door slowly and looked at the woman outside indifferently.
It was October now, but it was very warm in this small city. The morning sun shone through the tall tree in the yard, sprinkling a fine golden light. Albert was dressed in old white, and her skin was fair. The bruises at the corners of her eyes were very obvious, making her look a little unruly. Her usual dull and weak eyes flashed a sharp dark light at the moment. The height of one meter seven was considered shor among the boys of the same age, but now in front of Carol, it was full of pressure.
Carol was terrified by her stare, and then she thought that she would not be afraid of this little bastard, her saggy face became even angrier.
"You little bastard! How dare you! Go and sweep the floor!" She was still scolding her as usual, but her tone was a little weak this time.
With her eyes half closed, Albert looked gloomy.
Carol's legs were trembling, but she still straightened her neck and said in a vicious voice, "Stop staring at me! I raised you up. How dare you stare at me when I asked you to sweep the floor? "You know better than me that whether I was brought up by you, or by my mother who died early."
There was a hint of coldness in Albert's eyes. Although Charlotte Bai had sent Albert to her sister Carol's family, she had given Carol a lot of benefits. Otherwise, how could Carol have such a good house in the city with her coward and incompetent husband?
Hearing that, a hint of panic flashed in Carol's eyes. She thought to herself, 'How did Albert know these things?' But on the record, she couldn't admit it.
Then she scolded, "You little bastard! How dare you! I have been in charge of everything in the past few years. Now you dare to oppose me, don't you?"
"Mom! It's so noisy!
"
Ivy's irritated roar came from the main house. Carol quickly shut up and glared at Albert before she stopped.
Albert lowered her head slightly and smiled sarcastically.
It was hard to imagine that as the younger generation of the Rong family, the another Albert had such a life.
But it didn't matter. Whether it was Ashley or the Rong family, she would get back what they owed her.
It was Monday today. After packing up her things, Albert took a look at the words "Yiyang High School" on her school uniform. She took her schoolbag and directly walked out of the door. Carol was still taking care of her dear daughter, Ivy, Albert's cousin.
Albert was at the same age with Ivy, but Ivy had always been disgusted with this "cousin", not only because Albert was "a freeloader" in her family, but also because Albert had poor grades and bad popularity. Albert was as weak as a toy "boy", and "he" didn't dare to say anything when "he" was bullied. Ivy's classmates all laughed at her for having such a cousin.
Ivy was pretty with baby fat on her face. She had learned make-up when she was a little girl. The school dress was also changed into a miniskirt by her, which covered her thighs. Her chestnut curly hair made her even more youthful.
Carol prepared the breakfast and coaxed, "Ivey, let's go to school after breakfast."
After putting on the lipstick, Ivy waved her hand irritably and said, "No! I don't want to eat! I'm losing weight!"
Carol hurriedly said, "You should be a little fatter at your age. Look at those skinny girls, what's so good about them?"
"Alas, you don't understand!" Ivy didn't want to talk to her ignorant mother anymore. She carried her schoolbag on her back and stretched out her hand to Carol. "Mom, the school needs to pay for the remedial fee. Give me five hundred."
Carol's face stiffened, she was a little embarrassed, "Didn't...didn't you just hand it in last week? Why do you have to pay for it again?"
Although Carol said so, she took the money out of her pocket with great reluctance. Ivy took it over.
"The rest is my pocket money..."
"Eh..." Looking at her daughter running out, Carol was so angry that she stamped her feet.
"These two are all nuisances!"
Yiyang High School was the best high school in the city, and Albert and Ivy were both in the third year of high school. If it weren't for the fact that Albert had taken the first place in the city and Yiyang High School proposed the condition of exempting tuition and fees, it would have been impossible for Carol to let Albert go to this high school. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
