Chapter 2 The So-Called Past

I washed my face in the sink.Look up and look at the face in the mirror.I can no longer find the tomboy look in my memory.

Sophisticated, sly.

If a woman is beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious, she will be invincible——

These are the words of my mentor at Stanford Business School, Meera Nadi.

Meera Nadi is such a woman, with delicate features and sly eyes.

Unfortunately, in the end, she still fell into the hands of men.She married real estate tycoon Mos Nardy and divorced many years later. Although she received 150 billion fortune, she has since lived in a nursing home.

"Vivi, never trust a man. Ever."

When she said this to me, there was deep hatred in her eyes.

Looking back now, I suddenly feel that her words need to be changed: a woman is both beautiful and intelligent, and without a heart, she is invincible.

……

……

In my dream, I was only 8 years old.

I was a tomboy back then.Short hair, military trousers, berets, toy guns, and sometimes colorful faces.

Dad sometimes takes me to parties.

When the uncles met me, they would all compliment me: Mr. Lin must be a young talent when he grows up, no worse than Mr. Lin.Dad smiled and pinched my face after hearing this: "Young talents are impossible, but when it comes to being better than me, that's for sure."

Dad loves me very much, and I am his apple.

And all the changes happened in that year.When I almost successfully forgot, in my dream, it was once again bloody.

At my birthday party that year, my father was late, and I angrily asked the driver to take me to the company.The car was parked under the company building, and I jumped out of the car like a cat and ran towards the gate.

But I couldn't run far - behind me, there was a loud noise that shook people's hearts.

There was a "bang", not far behind me.

The sound of everything falling apart and nothing being whole again.It sounded like bones, metal, and air being destroyed together.

I had to stop and turn around.

I saw a person on the roof of my car.Something red like a river gurgled down from his head, passed through those wide open eyes, and flowed into a pool of blood.

Gathered on the roof, and then slowly flow down the body, the speed is slow, but never stop, as if to flow to my feet, willing to give up.

And his eyes, looking at me, did not blink for a moment.See my soul go.

……

"Young talents are impossible, but when it comes to being better than me, that's for sure."

"Baby girl, the jewel in my palm..."

……

I locked myself in the room and never went out again.The outside world, which I don't know, is surging, and my father's company has been quietly divided up.All this, I don't know.

Until, a strange woman came to the house.
