Chapter 23
The Past
Mo Li frowned when she heard about the Song family. “Money is the most useless thing to the Song family. Are they good to you?”
“I’ve only been back for one day.” Song Fan could not lie, so she gave a vague answer.
“They left you in the countryside for so many years and only took you back now. I think there might be a reason. If they don’t treat you well, you should come back.” Mo Li was adamant.
Song Fan held her hand and smiled, saying, “You are the best to me. As for others, I don’t care at all.”
Mo Li’s heart ached even more at her words.
She was so young but said she did not care about her family. It was obvious how badly her family treated her. Mo Li secretly despised the Song family. They did not want a good child just like that.
Back then, if she had not discovered Song Fan, who was struggling to survive, she probably would not have been able to survive.
Song Fan did not overthink. She had inherited the previous host’s memories but had no feelings for the previous host’s family, so she did not feel anything after returning. After all, to her, these so-called family members were no different from strangers.
She smiled at Mo Li and said, “Don’t worry, Godmother. The Song family can’t do anything to me. Besides, I have other things to do.”
Mo Li became more worried than ever, “You’re not going to get back at them, are you?”
Mo Li knew that Song Fan had no feelings for the Song family and would sometimes say some harsh words, but she was still the biological daughter of the Song family. Mo Li did not want her to get into a fight with her family.
Song Fan became anxious. It seemed to be the feelings left behind by the original owner. At that time, the previous host was under the control of drugs. Her heart was filled with revenge, and she was not reluctant to part with her family.
However, this was also a good thing for Song Fan. She would not be dependent on her family in this way.
She knew this violent emotion would only disappear by avenging the previous host. It was like the price of being reborn in the previous host’s body.
Mo Li knew she was determined to take revenge when she saw that she was silent.
She sighed and said, “You are blood relatives of the Song family. As long as you talk things out, you’re still family. The future is the most important.”
These words might be useful to persuade others, but Song Fan would never listen.
She had to exact her revenge if she wanted to be free of the emotional bonds that held her. Moreover, her hatred was not directed at the previous host’s family.
“Godmother, do you still remember what happened to me?” Song Fan asked.
Mo Li said with a pained expression, “Not everything. I only know that I went out to town that day. I didn’t go far when I saw you lying on the road. Your hands were covered in blood, and I didn’t know how long you had crawled. You were still alive, so I took you home for treatment. Because I didn’t have the money to go to the hospital, I thought you couldn’t survive. I didn’t expect you to open your eyes.”
At this point, Mo Li started to cry. Song Fan also felt wrong, as if she had a heart full of grievances that no one could hear.
The previous host was banished to the countryside, but judging from Song Kai’s behavior upon her return, it appeared that her survival was justified.
Perhaps the Song family did not just send her over. They should have made other preparations.
However, nobody came to help, resulting in the previous host’s death because no one was there to take care of her. Moreover, the Song family had been indifferent to the previous host for so many years, which was completely different from the memories the previous host had in her mind.
Although her family was troubled by the previous host’s arrogant and domineering attitude, they were still tolerant of her. Therefore, after she disappeared for two years, the Song family did not have any reaction.
They would not find it strange if they told her that Song Fan was dead when she returned to the Song family. However, they acted as if they had never known.
Moreover, her disappearance did not make sense. Yongping Village was located remote, and very few outsiders came. Why was she mysteriously taken away?
Looking at Song Fan’s silent expression, Mo Li sighed and surprisedly said, “I can smell jasmine.”
“It’s jasmine.” Song Fan explained, “I asked the hospital to put jasmine in the room, just like when we were home.”
Mo Li smiled. “With my little Jasmine here, anywhere is home.”
When Mo Li was in Yongping Village, she liked to plant flowers. Most of the plants she grew were jasmine, so she used jasmine as Song Fan’s nickname to show that Song Fan was her favorite child.
Song Fan snuggled into Mo Li’s arms and felt her caress. Molly sighed, “If only I could still hear you playing the violin.”
Song Fan stood up and said, “Wait a moment.”
