  The woman had a pair of beautiful brown eyes that were similar to Ji Yinbing’s. Even though her face had aged, her eyes were still bright. When she saw Ji Yinbing, the woman asked her softly, “Did you… succeed?” It was her mother’s suggestion to ask her to look for the help of the aristocrats.

  Ji Yinbing nodded and said, “I found it. He also told me the address. He will raise me. I just need to be his slave.”


  Her mother was relieved to hear that she was only a slave.

  Her mother heard Ji Yinbing’s father cursing outside, and her eyes were filled with pain.

  “Mom…”


  Her mother looked at her calmly.

  Ji Yinbing said, “I hate Ah Han. He’s always touching me.” Ji Yinbing had only seen Ah Han twice. The first time they met, Ah Han wanted to hug her. The second time they met, he even reached his hand into her top. She screamed and ran away. Ah Han’s arrogant laughter could be heard and her father called her a bitch behind her.

  Her mother’s heart ached like a knife.

  “So you have to study hard and make a name for yourself. In the future, you will marry a man who treats you like a treasure. You two respect each other. He will let go of everything in front of you, including dignity and status. You two are equal and love each other.”


  “Don’t be like me. My life is completely over.”


  Ji Yinbing listened carefully. There was only one thought in her mind: She wanted to make a name for herself!

  Only by being above others would one be qualified to choose the person they loved.

  “Mom, I have to leave. I can’t come back anymore. Mom, I plan to change my appearance and become a human again. I won’t be called that name anymore.”


  When her mother heard this, she said, “Sadaya, my surname is Ji.”


  Ji Yinbing was stunned. “Mother’s surname is Ji?”


  “Yes.”


  She said, “Ji Yue is my name.”


  Their family had a total of four cousins.

  The eldest brother was Ji Jie, the second brother was Ji Hui, the third sister was Ji Ru, and the fourth brother was Ji Chen. Her name was Ji Yue.

  Ji Yinbing didn’t know what Ji Yue meant. She only felt that the word “Ji” was very nice.

  “It’s good to change your name.”


  Ji Yue seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “Let’s call you Ji Yinbing.” That person’s name had the word ice. Her life for the past ten years had been as cold as drinking ice.

  Ji Yinbing carefully read the name on the tip of her tongue before agreeing.

  Ji Yue suddenly took off the only bracelet on her wrist.

  On the red bracelet were two white bones. On the left bone was the word Yue, and on the right was the word ice. When Ji Yue was kidnapped by human traffickers and sold here, she only had this necklace.

  Originally, Ji Yinbing’s father wanted to take it off, but every time he touched this bracelet, Ji Yue would struggle and roar like a madman, so he could only give up.

  But today, Ji Yue gave the bracelet to Ji Yinbing.

  “This is a safety bracelet.” Afraid that Ji Yinbing did not understand the meaning of the safety bracelet, Ji Yue specially explained. She said, “A safety bracelet is something to protect you from harm. Wear it close to you…” Ji Yue lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and said softly,” Wear it like Mom has always been with you. ”


  “Okay.”


  Ji Yinbing put on the bracelet.

  She recalled that she had agreed to appear at his house at five o’clock.

  Ji Yinbing could not delay any longer. She bent down and hugged her mother. She said, “I’ll miss you. I’ll come back to see you.”


  “Don’t…”


  Ji Yue said, “Don’t come back. I’m afraid that if you come back, it’ll be difficult to leave again.”


  Ji Yinbing understood this logic.

  She looked at her mother deeply one last time before leaving. Afraid that her father would discover her, she did not even bring a change of clothes.

  Seeing that Ji Yinbing was about to leave again, his father started to scold her again. “Sadaya! Where are you going again! Have you forgotten what I said? Ah Han is coming over tonight!”


  “To the toilet!”


  The toilets here were all open-air. It was normal for women to defecate on the streets.

  Ji Yinbing ran all the way to Yan Nuo’s house from the toilet.

  When she passed by a district where some free people lived, Ji Yinbing carefully took off her shoes and ran barefoot past their doors before putting on her shoes. This was the injustice of this country. The entire world was saying that people were born equal.

  However, in this country, lowly people like them were not even qualified to wear shoes when they passed by the door of those with high status.

  Ji Yinbing stood outside Yan Nuo’s house and looked at the tall and dark door in front of her. She was shocked.

  What did this Mr. Yan’s family do?

  Ji Yinbing stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to enter.

  She took a deep breath. Her determination to make a name for herself had finally overcome her fear. She strode forward and tried her best to straighten her back. She pressed the doorbell of Mr. Yan’s house.

  A few people dressed like soldiers walked out. They first sized up Ji Yinbing and said, “Go away quickly. This is not a place for someone like you.” This house was in the most prosperous and powerful place in Mumbai. How could low-class civilians qualify to come here?

  Ji Yinbing gritted her teeth and said softly, “Mr. Yan asked me to come.”


  “Go away quickly! Mr. Yan is not at home now.”


  They didn’t believe Ji Yinbing’s words at all.

  However, Ji Yinbing could not contact Yan Nuo, and she was unwilling to leave just like that. Hence, she walked to a place where the guards could not see her and hid. She waited at the Yan family’s entrance for a day and a night. The next morning, the door opened and a black car drove out.

  Ji Yinbing suddenly darted out from behind the flower bed.

  She stood six to seven meters in front of the car and spread her arms to block the car’s path.

  The hood of the car stopped less than 20 centimeters away from Ji Yinbing’s body.

  In the car, Yan Nuo looked at the small figure in front of him expressionlessly.

  The driver asked him, “Young Master, someone is blocking the car.”


  Taking a deep breath, Yan Nuo said, “I’ll go take a look.”


  The driver opened the door for him.

  Yan Nuo got out of the car. He was wearing a clean and elegant light blue shirt, black pants, and leather shoes. In this country, he was like a prince from Central Europe.

  “What are you doing?” Yan Nuo asked Ji Yinbing in a deep voice.

  Ji Yinbing looked up at him and said, “I came to find you last night.”


  “I didn’t see you.”


  “Your guards won’t let me in. I’ve been waiting outside your door all night.”


  Yan Nuo finally looked at her.

  He thought that she did not come yesterday.

  There was a hint of humanity in the young man’s cold eyes. “It’s okay.” He turned back to the driver. “We’ll go to school later.”


  He brought Ji Yinbing home.
