The number of people Jing Yun Zhao knew in her past life was pathetically few, and those of the opposite sex, in particular, were even fewer, but the person in front of her had helped her more than just a few times.

  This person’s name is Bai Yu An, who had reportedly graduated from a famous school. He was originally working in the capital; his parents both living in their hometown of Ning Xiang Town. Originally, this type of person should have been living well in the capital and have nothing to do with her. Unfortunately, this Bai Yu An’s luck was awfully poor.

  His girlfriend was a schoolmate from his university. The two stayed together from school into society and smoothly got married.

  However, even though Bai Yu An had a very good job and his prospects were quite good, he ultimately did not have a supporter and he did not have much experience. Additionally, his family circumstances were ordinary. Therefore, the couple had no choice but to borrow a loan to buy a house to live in the capital. Speaking of this, it could be considered finding happiness in hardships as they had a pair of twin boys.

  Unfortunately, the happiness did not last. Bai Yu An unexpectedly discovered that his wife cheated on him and the person she cheated on him with was his big boss.

  This big boss was someone with a wife and daughter. But Bai Yu An’s wife was afraid of being poor. She did not care about all this and agreed to be his (big boss’s) mistress. Under his angry questioning, his wife even informed him that his sons also belonged to the other person.

  Bai Yu An was in disbelief, but the DNA results revealed to him that he had been wearing a green hat* for a number of years and had even raised the other person’s kids for them for several years.

  (T/N: Most readers probably already know, but just in case, “wearing a green hat” means that his wife cheated on him. He was not literally wearing a green hat).

  Most importantly, he had to run around doing errands for this man who gave him a green hat.

  The difficulties he had at work and the reason why he had not gotten a promotion was now clearly displayed in front of his face. He had no other choice but to resolutely get a divorce and resign.

  However, his boss did not let him off and sabotaged him behind his back several times. Bai Yu An was already disheartened and just directly sold his house and returned to Ning Xiang Town to take care of his parents.

  In his past life, Bai Yu An had opened a small restaurant after he returned, but business was not good. But each time Jing Yun Zhao was starved at home, she was always able to receive a meal from Bai Yu An.

  Actually, at the time, Bai Yu An probably felt she was rather young and pitiful. However, to Jing Yun Zhao, this kindness was very significant.

  Furthermore, when she killed Qiao Wei Min and the police were doing their investigations, all the neighbours said that she had been vicious ever since she was a child except for Bai Yu An, who had been the only one that spoke fairly on her behalf. After she went to jail, he was also the only one that came to visit once in a while.

  Currently, Jing Yun Zhao did not know why Bai Yu An has shown up. However, she couldn’t help but think that even though it has been a lifetime ago, the gratitude she felt towards Bai Yu An remained very strong.

  She thought about it and started walking over.

  The other party also looked distracted after seeing her and felt she seemed somewhat familiar.

  “You are Bai Shu Shu*, right?” Jing Yun Zhao gave him a smile, “I am Jing Yun Zhao. I used to live in your neighbourhood…”


  (TN: Means “uncle” but here there is no blood relation, just a courteous way of addressing a man that might be a generation older)

  “It’s you?! Haven’t seen you in a few years and you’ve grown so big? I remember the last time I saw you, you were only four or five years old. But, you are just as thin as you used to be…” The furrow in Bai Yu An’s eyebrows visibly relaxed and he spoke with a smile.

  He felt exceedingly shocked inside. In the past, he used to be very fond of this little neighbour. She was soft and pliable but also very strong-willed ever since she was a child. A very long time ago, he had thought that it would be great if he could have a daughter that was this adorable and pretty in the future.

  “Bai Shu Shu, are you here to look for someone?” Jing Yun Zhao asked.

  Bai Yu An shook his head, “Tens of years ago, I attended school here. There was a teacher who gave me a lot of help so I just came here along the way to take a look. Only, we were not able to meet, so forget it. I reckon the teacher might not even recognize me.”


  As Jing Yun Zhao nodded her head, Bai Yu An continued, “It just so happens your school day ended. I will treat you to a meal. I remember you were very gluttonous when you were young. Each time I saw you, you would cover your stomach and say you were starving.”


  Jing Yun Zhao pursed her lips and smiled. At the time, she was not gluttonous. Rather, she was really starving on a regular basis!
