Chapter 474: 337: Gu Li's Childhood Experience_2
Shen: “Principal, of course, it is true…”
…
After a while, Qiao Yin indifferently returned the headphones to Gu Li.
If it wasn’t for the recording, she would not have known the truth was like this.
Why does Professor Shen Yunsi defame Gu Li in front of her?
And even say it so confidently?
Gu Li was clearly the one she recommended to the school leaders, Gu Li gained the favor of school leaders based on her exceptional memory, but what does that have to do with Mo Shiting?
At this moment, Qiao Yin was deeply shocked.
On the one hand, she had to admit that Gu Li was indeed very capable, much stronger than her; on the other hand, she deeply doubted her ability to judge people, after all, before this, Shen Yunsi had always been her idol.
“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”
Qiao Yin apologized sincerely.
Although she still felt uncomfortable and was indeed jealous of Gu Li, she wouldn’t distort the truth.
“It’s okay, I don’t blame you.”
Gu Li smiled at her lightly, her bright smile was like a ray of light, making Qiao Yin momentarily dazed.
Qiao Yin blinked and for a moment, didn’t know what to say.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Shall we leave then?
Just as she was about to get up, Gu Li suddenly said: “Qiao Yin, actually, you don’t need to compare yourself with others. Everyone has their own merits, and you are no exception. You are intelligent, excellent, and disciplined. Maybe because your background is ordinary, you have traces of inferiority in your character, and you also envy those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. You hate the unfairness of this world, why are they born in Rome while most people can’t even find their way to Rome? But have you ever thought, perhaps they are not as lucky as you think?”
Gu Li’s heartfelt words did not move Qiao Yin, in fact, she even felt that Gu Li was whining, “Stop it. If you’re not lucky, who is? You’re beautiful and smart, your family is rich, and your husband is someone all the women in Hua Country want to marry. Don’t be ungrateful in your blessed life.”
“Heh…”
Gu Li laughed lightly, “That’s because you don’t know me. You don’t know how hard I had to work to win over Mo Shiting, and you don’t know what I’ve been through in my life.”
“What have you been through?”
Qiao Yin was roused by curiosity.
After a moment, she looked stiffer, “Forget it, I didn’t ask.”
Gu Li looked down at the dining table, hiding the trace of pain in her eyes, then she slowly said, “When I was young I suffered from a severe illness and forgot many things. Ever since my memory returned, I have been wandering on the streets. Thanks to my intelligence, I was able to escape from human traffickers multiple times. The last time, I ran away from a human trafficker and bumped into a luxury car while being chased…”
The person in the car was none other than the ten-year-old Mo Shiting, her most beloved Brother Ting.
Brother Ting took her in, sent her to the hospital for treatment, and later brought her to live in the Mo family home.
Although she only stayed with the Mo’s a few months, it was the happiest time in the first 21 years of her life.
Later, some bad guys kidnapped Brother Ting and took her with them as a burden.
Brother Ting protected her and was brutally beaten by those people daily. After being rescued, he was in the hospital for a full month.
As for her, due to a series of coincidences, she was found by her father and taken back to A Nation to become Miss Gu.
As Gu Li got to this point, she paused and took a sip of her drink.
Qiao Yin was slightly moved, she had not expected Gu Li to have such a tragic childhood.
Unexpectedly, she felt a pang of sympathy for the helpless little girl.
But then again, so what?
Now she has both fame and love, no matter how much she suffered in the past, it was worth it. Why should she feel sorry for her?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but retort: “That’s it? I thought it would be worse.”
Gu Li, seeing through her thoughts, gave a faint smile, “I didn’t intend to play the victim in front of you, in fact, I don’t think I am pitiful. Alright, let’s go back to class.”
Qiao Yin’s eyes flickered, and she asked as if driven by some force: “You said earlier that the happiest days of your childhood were spent in the Mo family. Does that mean your parents at the Gu family didn’t treat you well?”
Although Qiao Yin’s family was poor, her parents were extremely good to her. It was precisely because she wanted to repay her parents that she was eager to succeed and so loved to be the best.
