Chapter 6: Forgotten people

Bai Wanjun walked towards Shi Han slowly, scolding her, "You've really grown up, you're putting on such big airs! You didn't even come for dinner! No rules at all. Now that you have returned, you must get rid of the bad habits you learned in the countryside." 

"Bad habits from the in the countryside?" Shi Han closed her eyes, and an old woman's face appeared in her mind. 

She forgot how she ended up in a remote rural town after being rescued from the experimental facility. All she knew was that she was brought up by her grandma, and after her grandma passed away, she returned to the Shi family. 

The relationship between her and grandma had gradually become blurred, and she seemed to forget the important people in her life little by little. 

Who else had she forgotten? 

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Wanjun frowned when she saw Shi Han ignoring her, thinking that she was trying to annoy her, she trembled with anger, "You can't even catch up to your sister, who is not only excellent in studies, but also well-behaved and sensible, and now she has great achievements in the violin and piano. As for you, you ran away from home for two years, and who knows what dirty things you did. Every time I see you, I feel ashamed." 

"Can you stop making noise?" Shi Han massaged her eyebrows, "I will move out as soon as possible so that I won't disturb you, and, in front of outsiders, I'm just an adopted child of Shi family, even if I'm useless, others will just praise you as a kind and generous philanthropist." 

"What? You're temper is flaring up again?" 

Though they didn't reveal her identity in front of outsiders, Shi Han's treatment was exactly the same as Shi Yin's. It was much better than how she lived in the countryside, Bai Wanjun didn't know what she was dissatisfied with. 

"..." 

"Forget it, I will leave soon." 

Bai Wanjun rolled her eyes in disgust, "Bring the milk to my room." 

She turned around and walked upstairs, but found that Shi Han still hadn't followed her up with the milk. 

Seeing Bai Wanjun turn her head, Shi Han smiled at her, raised her hand and took a sip of the milk in her hand. 

The white light shone on her face, making it even more porcelain white, and her beautiful eyes shined. 

She didn't mean to serve her milk at all, and even her smile seemed to mock her for thinking they had an affectionate relationship. 

Bai Wanjun was angry with her again. But she had to admit that no matter how many faults she found in Shi Han was, her beauty was impeccable. If she hadn't been lost when she was young, she would definitely have a place among the noble young ladies of the Imperial Capital. But there was no going back. 

She glared at Shi Han, then turned and went upstairs. 

Shi Han finished drinking and went upstairs. They wouldn't call her at mealtimes, and they wouldn't leave food for her, and she got used to it.

The next day, Shi Han got up early, and after washing up, set everything in the guest room to its original state. 

When she went downstairs, the servants had already gotten up to clean up, but the rest of the Shi family hadn't gotten up yet. 

"Miss Shi, the breakfast isn't ready yet." The little maid who led the way yesterday came over to remind her. 

"Thanks, but I'm not eating here." 

The maid felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Shi Han walk out of the gate. She didn't understand why the Shi family kept Shi Han, but treated like a stranger. Miss Shi Han seems to be excluded by the whole family. 

_________ 

Shi Han bought a few steamed buns on the way, and took a car to the countryside on the border of the Imperial Capital. 

Although this place was also part of the Imperial Capital, it was located in a remote area. The road was just repaired a year ago, and many houses were demolished and two-story buildings were built. 

It was July, and when Shi Han arrived, the weather became hotter, so she got out of the car and put on a sun hat. 

Shi Han hasn't come back here for four full years. This was the place she pent her time here from the age of six to fifteen. 

The grandmother who picked her up made a living by farming. Her husband and son died early due to accidents, and her life was extremely miserable.
