C7 She's Going to School.
The center of the white castle was black, like the gentleman here, with a dark heart hidden under his angelic, gentle, and lazy appearance.
In the middle of his heart, one could see a pearl like light, but that light was imprisoned.
Three years passed. It was spring now, and Ji Li was nine years old.
The Ji family villa covered an area of more than 5000 hectares, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. The outermost layer of the villa was filled with all kinds of fruit trees. Those fruit trees were like a green barrier. The innermost part of the villa was a garden. The colorful flowers made the white villa shine brightly. Many people were busy every day. They were the gardener who took care of the garden and the farmer who took care of the fruit trees.
This place was almost isolated from the world. Ji family had lived here a long time ago because it was exceptionally quiet here. Time had changed, and the house had been rebuilt several times. It had become modern.
The people living outside the villa were all ordinary farmers. Many of their ancestors worked in the Ji family, and they received a salary that was enough to feed themselves.
Who would have thought that in such a beautiful place, what could accommodate her was only a dark storeroom.
As time passed, she gradually adapted to life here. She adapted to the "room" and also adapted to her uncle's coldness.
However, she wasn't discouraged. She believed that one day, her uncle would like her and take another look at her.
Every day, Ji Xue would be driven by Ji Ye to the best kindergarten. Every day, Ji Li would get up and start working before dawn. When she returned to the villa, they had already left.
At night, Ji Ye would accompany Ji Xue to dinner and be served by four maids. Ji Li and the other maids were eating rough dinner elsewhere. Usually, because everyone ostracized her, she could only eat leftovers.
Occasionally, she would see her uncle in the morning. He would only look at her indifferently.
Other than cleaning, Ji Li also had to go to the garden to pull weeds. The garden was her favorite place. There was a glass greenhouse on the east side of the villa and the flowers inside would bloom all year round.
There was a set of yellow sofa in the flowers. In the sunny afternoon, the uncle would sit on the sofa with Ji Xue and bask in the sun.
She lay on the glass and secretly fantasized about the feeling of sitting on the sofa. It must be very comfortable. The hot air she exhaled formed a white mist on the glass.
Early in the morning, Mrs Lee took advantage of Ji Ye not going out to ask about Ji Li's school.
"Sir, Miss Lee is 9 years old. The school nearby will start tomorrow. Should she go to school too?"
There was a public primary school here. Its teaching facilities and teachers were not very good. The poor families would send their children there.
Ji Ye, who was eating breakfast, put down the newspaper. "Call her in."
"Okay, I will call her over now." Mrs Lee moved her fat body. Ji Li should be in the fruit garden now.
On the grape rack in the morning, the grapes that were covered in dew had a fruity fragrance. Ji Li carefully held the grapes and cut them off and put them into the basket. The dew on the leaves dripped down and wet her hair.
There were shouts coming from afar and she stopped to listen carefully.
"Miss Lee, mr. Ji Ye asked you to go back."
The same words were repeated repeatedly, as if they were playing a game. She had heard it a long time ago. It was great that her uncle wanted to see her. She carried a basket full of grapes. She even forgot to wear her shoes. She ran across the muddy fruit garden barefooted. She was wearing a dark blue robe. Her long black hair danced in the air, the sunlight shining on her body. She was crystal clear like an elf in the forest.
She panted as she stood at the door. Mrs Lee had been waiting there for a long time.
"Mrs Lee." She called out obediently. In the Ji family, although Mrs Lee did not like her, in Ji Li's heart, she was her grandmother.
"Quickly go in. Sir is about to leave." Mrs Lee urged. She took the fruit basket from her hand and wiped Ji Li's wet hair.
Ji Li stood at the entrance of the restaurant. She saw Ji Ye wearing a white suit and he was sitting on the sunny floor eating breakfast. The sun shone on the tip of his nose. This made his originally handsome face seem like it was covered with a layer of radiance.
Ji Li shrank her little feet. She walked into the restaurant and was very nervous.
