Chapter 22 Malicious Intentions

Liu Wentian suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in his heart, furrowed his brows, and said, "What do you mean? Even if you're unwilling, do they really think they can force you? Your stepmother seems to have not been kind without reason."

Li Chuyue's biological mother passed away when she was very young. After her mother's death, her father remarried.

Her stepmother bore her father a son and a daughter. Among the three children, Li Chuyue became the one who was not doted on. Due to the family's poverty and the need to pay for her siblings' education, Li Chuyue, though academically gifted, had to drop out of school at a young age and venture alone into Shenming City to work. Most of the money she earned was sent back home.
