Jiang Yue pov:
Sweating furiously, Jiang Yue woke up from her sleep. This wasn't the first time she had a nightmare like this.She always saw her mother carrying her as a baby and running in the night like a thief and a muffled voice calling a name she couldn't make out.The vision of this particular one was clearer than the past ones ,so she felt that she was getting closer to the truth.One of the times she had this nightmare,she went to her mother's room and told her about it and asked her if she recalled the incident.Her mother expression changed for a split second and she quickly adjusted her countenance but couldn't completely hide it from Jiang Yue as she could read people's faces and expressions and detect even the slightest change.Her mom told her to go back and sleep waving it off like it was nothing but a dream .The next morning,her mom went about her morning duties acting like nothing happened last night.Her mother never knew that she heard her crying in the middle of the night.Jiang Yue decided not to dwell on it and never talked about it to her mother again even after having the same dream a lot of times before her mother's death. Talking about her mom, Jiang Yue remembered how her mother worked hard to feed both of them. Even though she came from a wealthy household ,she never once behaved like a spoilt wealthy young lady.Liu Shenai was a very strong willed woman.She fell out with her family and was disowned when she got married to a poor man and rejected the man chosen for her by her father . Liu Shenai and her husband, Lang Siting, eloped to Qingdu city in a place so far from the capital that no one could ever think of looking for them there.They started a new life there and had twin daughters.When Lang Siting was going to work,he met Liu Hentao who came to do business in the neighbouring city as there were a lot of raw materials there. Liu Hentao begged Lang Siting to take him to see his sister.When they got to the house,Liu Shenai was so happy to see her brother after five years. She introduce her three year old daughters to him and they continued to keep in touch. When Jiang Yue twin sister,Jiang xiu, fell critically ill ,he told her parents to allow him to take her abroad for medical treatment which they did.When the news came that Jiang Xiu was dead , Everyone was sad and mourned greatly for her loss . Liu Shenai,Lang Siting and Liu Hentao discussed between themselves to tell Jiang Yue that Jiang Xiu was her younger sister so that the pain of her death due to their attachment would be reduced Since she was still young, Jiang Yue believed them and cried for her dead younger sister.After some months ,tragedy struck again. Lang Siting had an accident while coming back from a trade fair and died on the spot. Liu Shenai was heartbroken and was physically and emotionally drained. Jiang Yue never really knew Lang Siting as her father.Pherhaps it was because she never saw him as her father .Though her energetic and jovial attitude decreased from that day , she still worked hard to provide for both of them till her illness claimed her life. Her brother vowed to take care of her daughter and sponsor her education. When he told his father,Elder Liu,about his sister's death.The father was heartbroken but behaved nonchalant and said that he warned her but gave Liu Hentao permission to bring Jiang Yue to the capital. Elder Liu was sad .Since Liu Hentao found his sister ,he has been reporting to Elder Liu both the bad news and the good news . He was happy that Liu Shenai had been found but didn't show it He was begged to let her back into the family but he remained strong headed as his pride and ego refused to let him do so but now he regrets his decision and sadly he can't turn back time to right his wrongs.
