Chapter 2

When my parents came to get me, I was doing construction work.

There was no choice. The orphanage had many children, and the town rarely provided subsidies. We could barely eat enough. To take care of them, the older children went out to work early to earn money.

Children without parents not only had to support themselves but also had to support the younger brothers and sisters who depended on them.

"There's a car parked at the entrance, and the two people who got out look very rich. I wonder what they're here for."

"That car, I've heard my son talk about it. It costs several million."

The voices of my coworkers drifted into my ears.

I remembered that in my previous life, they stood not far from me.

The woman was on the phone, I didn't know what she was saying.

Occasionally she looked over here, and I saw the dislike in her eyes.

Yes, she disliked me. That was my first impression.

The man walked over to me: "Are you Lily Song?"

I looked up, confused: "Yes, sir. Is there something I can help you with?"

Then I slowly lowered my head. Standing in front of them always gave me a sense of inferiority, as if I was filthy and would taint them.

In my previous life, I was so happy to find my parents that I didn't notice the deep disgust in their eyes.

This time, something seemed different.

From a distance, my mom ran over.

Ignoring the sweaty, smelly odor on my body, she hugged me.

"Child, I'm sorry. Mom has finally found you. This time, Mom will be good to you."

I was stunned and confused. The plot wasn't supposed to develop like this.

What the hell is going on???

"I'm sorry, did I scare you?" She took a step back and bent down to speak softly.

"No, no," I stammered, wondering what new trick this was.

"I'm your mother. I'm here to take you home."

Then she took out a clean, pretty handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

As she wiped, she said with concern, "Lily, you've been through so much. Will you come home with Mom?"

But in my previous life, she only wanted to touch me after I had cleaned up. What was going on now?

"No," I pushed her away and said frankly.
