Chapter 3  : Transformation

Song Youyou had been adopted when she was ten years old. Her memories of the period she was ten was a little fuzzy. She clearly remembered everything before the age of eight and nine, but her memories of when she was ten was a little fragmented, as if they had been buried.

She didn’t dwell on it too much and continued to analyze the current situation.

It was obvious that Song Chuyan was closer to Song Youyou. Song Youyou was hostile towards her and the death of the original owner must have had something to do with her. She just didn’t know if Song Chuyan was involved.

While she was deep in thought, she was startled by the sound of arguing outside the door. The door was opened and she thought Song Youyou was looking for trouble again. To her surprise, a woman hugged her.

“Mm.” Song Jiaren felt her head sink into a soft spot, and she could barely breathe.

Song Meiyu refused to let go of her and kept saying, “Poor you. I will definitely avenge you…”

Song Jiaren figured out that this woman was her mom, but she really couldn’t stand this bear hug.

Fortunately, Song Meiyu let go of her as she struggled. When she saw her flushed cheeks, Song Meiyu’s eyes burned with indignation as she said, “Honey, I will go get revenge for you right now. Look at how they’ve made your face flush.”

Song Jiaren took a deep breath and wanted to say that she was blushing because of her, but when she saw the worried look in her eyes, she mimicked the way the original owner responded to such situations in her memories and said, “Mom, I’m fine.”

Song Meiyu misunderstood her and sighed as she said. “If you don’t want me to admonish Yan Jingchen, then I won’t go. But no matter how much you like him, you have to protect yourself.”

Song Jiaren was baffled when she heard this. She began to recall the memories of Yan Jingchen.

Yan Jingchen… Song Jiaren’s memories were about this person.

Ever since they were young kids, she had been fawning over him. They were practically childhood sweethearts. However, ever since Song Jiaren started rapidly gaining weight at the age of ten, Yan Jingchen no longer paid any attention to her. In recent years, he became increasingly disgusted with her.

This time, Song Jiaren was beaten up in the streets by him.

Song Meiyu didn’t find anything unusual about her silence. After all, Song Jiaren was always silent and defiant whenever she mentioned Yan Jingchen.

“Honey, if you really like Jingchen, I will let him marry you tomorrow. With me around, I don’t believe for a second that he will dare to bully you.”

Song Jiaren came back to her senses and looked at the indignant Song Meiyu, who looked like she wanted to go to the Yan family’s household to forcibly bring him over for her sake. Her heart warmed.

She really loved Song Jiaren from the bottom of her heart.

She, who had been an orphan since she was a child, had never experienced this kind of familial affection. For a moment, she wanted to tell her that their real daughter was dead, but she couldn’t bring herself to.

“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll take revenge myself.”

Song Meiyu nodded her head out of habit. When she realized what Song Jiaren had actually said, she asked in surprise, “You want to take revenge yourself?”

Song Jiaren nodded her head. “Mom, I misbehaved in the past, but now, I know that Jingchen isn’t a good person. I don’t like him anymore.”

Song Meiyue was stunned.

Wang Yaotian, who had just reached the door, stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He walked into the room and said, “Jiaren, how many times have you said this already? Yet every time you see Mr. Yan, you throw this to the back of your mind.”

Upon hearing this, Song Meiyu snapped back to reality from her initial delight. She had indeed said this many times. Every time Jingchen brought people to humiliate her, she would always say the same thing. But then she would fawn over him all over again.

Wang Yaotian gazed at Song Jiaren with some disdain as he said, “Jiaren, look at how unsightly you look. You don’t look like how a proper girl should look like at all. You’re really a disgrace to our family…”

Before he could finish his words, Song Meiyu glared at him and he was forced to swallow his words. When he blurted those words out, he had forgotten that she was still here.

He quickly smiled and said, “I’m just worried about her.”

Song Meiyu said coldly, “Don’t forget, this is my family.” She was very unhappy that he said Jiaren had disgraced the Song family.

She had no idea that her husband actually saw Jiaren in that light.

Wang Yaotian’s expression stiffened, but he recovered his composure quickly. He carefully hid the indignant look in his eyes and defended himself cautiously.

Only then did Song Meiyu retract the suspicious look in her eyes.

Song Jiaren watched this scene with detachment. Wang Yaotian had married into the Song family.

From the original owner’s past memories, she found out that the person who abused her the most was her father, Wang Yaotian. Usually, as long as Song Meiyu wasn’t around, he would belittle Song Jiaren in all sorts of ways. That was the reason Song Jiaren had such a low self-esteem and the reason that she was such an antisocial recluse.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.. This father of hers didn’t love Song Jiaren as much as he acted like he did on the surface.
