The two daughters adopted by Jiang Peiyao, the elder Jiang Wangzhi, were claimed when she was five.
At that time, she was very thin and barely spoke a word all day.
At such a young age, she couldn't feel the warmth and beauty of the world. It was only under Jiang Peiyao's careful care that she slowly opened up at the age of eight.
She started playing with peers, but when her biological parents came looking for her again, Jiang Wangzhi was terrified.
She was young but hadn't forgotten the nightmare of her original family.
Her father had a gambling problem, and whenever he lost money, he'd come home and hit her.
Her mother wasn't a good person either. Instead of stopping him, she would egg him on to hit harder.
This was completely different from how she felt with Jiang Peiyao.
Jiang Peiyao, being kind, gave them some money to leave, but they came looking for more every year afterward.
This exhausted her, yet she didn't want to bother her brother-in-law over such minor issues.
