From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 266 Tragic Past

"Of course, the price of happiness was more than one beating. After that night, she was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed for three days, and she no longer received pocket money."

"But in fact, the little pocket money she had was always stolen by her younger brothers and sisters. She tried to complain but was accused of being greedy and wanting more money, so she never mentioned it again."

"Fortunately, she and the Internet cafe owner have become quite familiar with each other over the years. The Internet cafe owner is a nerd and doesn't like to socialize with others. Although his family is quite rich, he is almost 30 years old and has no girlfriend. He is sloppy like a greasy middle-aged man in his 40s. He asked his father for hundreds of thousands of startup funds and opened an Internet cafe to muddle through. Therefore, instead of calling him brother, my friend is more accustomed to calling him Fat Uncle."

"Fat Grandpa really likes this young but very capable girl. After getting to know her, he not only waived her internet fee, but also occasionally treated her to a good meal. He also helped cover up for her when she encountered problems. He is much better than her so-called relatives."

"After she entered junior high school, her mother was not willing to pay attention to her anymore. It seemed that she believed that her own daughter would be a good-for-nothing in the future. She did not want to train her any more even though she had excellent grades. She even took the initiative to discuss with her stepfather whether to support her to go to high school because going to high school and college would cost a lot of money. It would be better to find a technical school to study and then find a factory to send her to work."

"Although my friend loves playing games, he is also a pretty good student. He has no one to talk to at school on weekdays, so the only thing he can do is study."

"But after listening to her mother's plot, she no longer wanted to follow the rules. What's more tragic is that she thought things would be much better in junior high school, but the fact is that most of her classmates were still the same group of people who persecuted her in elementary school. Even though it was free to change classes, her mother refused because it was too troublesome."

"At that time, she really thought that her mother wanted to force her to commit suicide in order to get rid of this burden so that she could completely integrate into her stepfather's family."

"No matter how strong the girl's heart was, she couldn't bear the pain of being abandoned by her friends and relatives. Her only confidant, Fatty, had to stay with her because his relative was seriously ill, so he had to sell his shop. He treated her to a 'farewell dinner' and returned to his hometown. Since then, they rarely contacted each other. At that time, she was heartbroken and just wanted to find a place to die."

Qin Menglan actually didn't quite understand some of the words, such as "Internet cafe" and "mobile phone", which had never appeared in her worldview. However, after listening to them, she roughly understood what they meant. They were probably communication devices and places for entertainment.

At this point, Leng Xiyao paused suddenly, the expression on her face became complicated, she held Qin Menglan's hand a little tighter, and then said in a trembling voice:

"At that time, it was a boy who dissuaded my friend from committing suicide."

"During that period of isolation, he was like a ray of light that illuminated her path forward. It is no exaggeration to say that he saved her life."

"Under the other party's offensive, the girl quickly fell. She was so ignorant that she had never seen such a scene before. So the two of them soon became boyfriend and girlfriend. Due to her dependence on each other, the girl gave everything she had to him without reservation, including..."

"But all these efforts were not rewarded. After accidentally encountering him on a date with another girl, accompanied by the other party's angry and cold words, the girl's heart finally died."

"The heartbroken girl used the several hundred yuan she had saved from starving herself to have a good meal, played a round of her favorite game, and then prepared to end her sinful life by the river outside the city."

At this point, Leng Xiyao actually smiled, which was rare: "For some people, living is a sin, isn't it?"

Qin Menglan is not a fool. Leng Xiyao said this to her a long time ago:

“People who say I have a friend are usually referring to themselves.”

Qin Menglan agreed with this statement, because Oscar had always used this excuse to find her about Ning Rongrong's preferences earlier, and he did not dare to express his feelings directly.

Therefore, when Leng Xiyao just started with this sentence, she knew that all this was actually happening to Sister Yaoyao.

As for where it happened?

Ever since she met Tianmeng, the various miracles surrounding Sister Yaoyao have been constantly refreshing her worldview, so much so that she has long ago stopped being shocked by any sudden strange things.

Everything that is being told now may very well be Sister Yaoyao’s past.

At first glance, reincarnation sounds absurd, but after seeing the terrifying insect swarms, the terrifying creations of the human race, the magical land that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, the million-year-old soul beasts and the ability of the soul to leave the body, the magical martial spirit that can directly bring people back to life, as well as the magical elixir on her body and the strange martial spirit fusion technique, this reincarnation is really...
In fact, it’s not that shocking to the world.

But the more she knew about it, the more heartbroken Qin Menglan felt. Most children only remember to eat but not to be beaten. Physical injuries are easily forgotten, but these cold violence will accompany them for a lifetime, or even many lifetimes.

As if she knew that Qin Menglan had seen through her poor cover-up, Leng Xiyao simply stopped acting:
"Maybe God didn't want me to die like this, or maybe there was something else waiting for me to accomplish. Anyway, that night I was drinking and preparing to jump into the river, but I didn't expect Fatty to contact me suddenly."

"After Fatty dealt with his family's affairs, he still had a lot of money left. He wasn't from this city, so naturally he had no plans to come back. So he thought about going to a prosperous city to start a business and open a better Internet cafe. He wanted to work hard while he was still young."

"But if you want to run a successful business, you have to find experts to manage the business and organize some teams to participate in city leagues or other competitions that can make you famous. This will attract the attention of those young and fun-loving wealthy people, and make your e-sports hall stand out from other peers."

"Rather than hiring any other experts, he wanted to bring me, a rising star with a promising future. He also knew that I was having a hard time. Now that there was such a natural opportunity, he immediately came to me and wanted to help me out of my misery."

"Because of the bad guy I met before, my skills have actually become a lot less sophisticated. I'm obviously not qualified to be a shop assistant. But Fatty even said, 'If you really can't make it, you can be a cashier girl.' I realized that my chance to escape from this misery has finally come."
