Chapter 854: ...and Redemption

... and Redemption

Everyone thought this would be a harmonious and beautiful win-win, but no one realized that from the moment she left the orphanage, Seeing Zhen Xin ushered in a nightmare that she would never be able to shake off for the rest of her life.

Because this wealthy couple with a good reputation were simply a pair of... liars!

They were two pure liars who walked among the upper-class people through observation and flowery words, constantly managing their own personas but having no practical ability.

They adopted Seeing Zhen Xin not to form a real family, let alone simply to fulfill a promise to a dean friend of an orphanage that couldn't be called any size, but because they had recently aimed at a target, a fat sheep, a big household that could almost retire and stop working after clinging to it, and coincidentally, the daughter of this big household was also adopted.

So in order to find a unique topic between the two families, they took the opportunity to adopt Seeing Zhen Xin and planned to build Seeing Zhen Xin into their social business card for entering the upper class.

Little Seeing Zhen Xin was smart, but no matter how smart a child was, how could she play against two liars who had lied to people for decades without collapsing?

So all her intelligence and wit lost their effect in this family. She was forced by her "parents" to learn this and that, but the two liars who were stingy about spending money to hire famous teachers would never let Seeing Zhen Xin really learn anything, but every time they stopped after a little bit, and started making up suitable rhetoric for her after an initial understanding.

So, rather than saying Seeing Zhen Xin was learning various social skills, it was better to say she had been learning trickery from two people.

Of course, selling dog meat under a sheep's head was not the most miserable. The most miserable thing was how could such a couple be parents who loved their children?

They wouldn't love, only make the child hurt.

In order to practice flawless rhetoric and temperament, Seeing Zhen Xin suffered inhuman torture in this family she once looked forward to.

During the day, she was the cute daughter of a kind family in the upper class; at night, she was a sobbing girl standing at the door and not allowed to eat.

It was this torn life of half-awake and half-dreaming that completely collapsed the little girl who had grown up in a warm big family since she was a child.

After a certain night, she finally "realized" the impressive trickery from her parents.

And the first time she put this trickery into practice was shortly after receiving a call from Dean Grandma.

The dean asked her how she was doing in her new family?

Seeing Zhen Xin smiled and replied:

"Good, very good. Mom and Dad both like me. I'm so happy here.

Hee~

When is Dean Grandma coming to play? I'll take you to the park to bask in the sun. There are many grandpas and grandmas there; you will definitely like them."

Hearing these words, the dean left with peace of mind and passed away a few days after hanging up the phone, finding an opportunity to share a reunion with her family.

And it was also after hearing these words that a glimmer of light called "gratification" finally appeared in the eyes of Seeing Zhen Xin's "parents."

They never felt that they had raised a child, but felt that their great selves had shaped an artwork born of lies.

Even more absurdly, when Seeing Zhen Xin "inherited" their trickery, they finally began to treat this smart little girl as a member of this "family."

It was just that they would never know that the one who was cute and well-behaved outside during the day was Seeing Zhen Xin, while the one who was shrewd and good at lying at home at night was... Zhen Yi.

Seeing Zhen Xin found a way to integrate into this "family" for herself, and also brought a new member for her "parents."

The memory stopped abruptly here. Cheng Shi's face was full of mixed feelings.

This was so similar to his own experience, yet completely opposite.

He was pulled out of the abyss by Old Jia, while Seeing Zhen Xin was pushed into the abyss by the person she loved most unintentionally.

Although everything was caused by 【Deception】, who could say this was not also caused by 【Fate】?

No wonder she would be the first collection item of 【Deception】, no wonder He gave Zhen Yi a chance to choose 【Fate】, because the 【Void】 unity He wanted to push had the best interpretation in Seeing Zhen Xin.

More importantly, the bridge of entering "good" from "evil" was far less dramatic than the play of turning from "good" to "evil."

So she was the true favorite of 【Deception】.

Cheng Shi sighed: "This is the reason why you can deceive yourself... sigh, forgive my presumption, I am really curious, what did you deceive yourself about at that time?"

Looking back at the past was not a happy thing, especially after superimposing Cheng Shi's experience. Seeing Zhen Xin's face also didn't look good. She bit her lips white and pulled out a miserable smile that couldn't be called too beautiful:

"I told myself that all this was an illusion, a nightmare when the night struck. They were good, the family was good, the world was good, everything was good."

"And now?" Cheng Shi stared at Seeing Zhen Xin's eyes that hid countless lies, quite emotional.

"Also good." Seeing Zhen Xin's answer was incomparably firm.

But as soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi's mouth moved uncontrollably.

"This world has long lost hope..."

For a moment, Cheng Shi suddenly understood why the An Mingyu of this world would go to help the Seeing Zhen Xin of another world.

Even such a "normal" game rhythm would make Seeing Zhen Xin have a pessimistic view of "no hope" in her heart. Then in that world that had already moved toward collapse, it was not hard to guess what kind of thoughts another Seeing Zhen Xin would have.

So the blind man really understood her, no matter which her, and Seeing Zhen Xin being able to do all this today was entirely because he saved the blind man.

Although Cheng Shi refreshed his understanding of this sisterly friendship again and again, every time he heard their story, he could always have some more emotions in his heart.

She was indeed of the Fear Sect, and a Fear Sect far more fearful than himself, a Fear Sect that was unwilling to accept her own fear.

"Your relationship is very good. Being able to have such a friend, you are very lucky."

But as soon as this was said, Cheng Shi's face became awkward.

Her past could not be called "lucky" at all.

So fate, it's really... interesting.

Hearing this, Seeing Zhen Xin's face finally turned warm. She laughed at herself:

"I know you still have doubts in your heart, definitely thinking why Mingyu and I could still have such a deep relationship after being separated for so long.

Since the sincerity has reached this point, I can solve your doubts:

Because we have never been separated.

If Mingyu hadn't pulled Aunt Jing to cross provinces to see me at the end of every month, if she hadn't brought a glimmer of light to my dark life, I wouldn't even be sure if I had a chance to wait for Zhen Yi to appear, and whether I could survive that nightmare I didn't want to look back on.

She is not just my best friend, my sister, my relative...

But also my redemption.

She can't leave me, and I, even more can't leave her."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's expression was moved, and he suddenly realized.

No wonder the two of them were so deep in affection, no wonder the two of them were so inseparable. It turned out that the blind man saved the adopted Seeing Zhen Xin.

Although Cheng Shi had a "not bad" adoptive family, he could imagine what kind of more terrifying physical and mental abuse and emotional devastation Seeing Zhen Xin would suffer if An Mingyu didn't appear in Seeing Zhen Xin's house every month.

Of course, the young An Mingyu might just not want to be separated from her friend because of the friendship between playmates. As an adult, An Jing could tirelessly take her niece to rush to another province month after month to visit a child who had no blood relationship with her at all. Among them, there might be a "reminder and warning" from everyone who saw through it but didn't say it to the parents of this new family.

So, there have always been good people around Seeing Zhen Xin.

An Jing is one, An Mingyu is one, Zhen Yi...

At least before the 【Faith Game】 descended, she was too. ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
