Looking at my graceful self in the mirror, I subconsciously pinched my smooth face.
A clear feeling of pain came over my face, proving that this was not a dream. I couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
"Anran, your boyfriend is coming soon, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
My mother ran over immediately after hearing the sound and asked with concern.
"mom!"
I threw myself into my mother's arms, feeling the familiar warmth, and my tears flowed even more violently.
I have forgotten how many years it has been since I last relied on this warm embrace.
Because in the last life, my boyfriend came to my house from a neighboring city hundreds of miles away to meet my parents for the first time.
While we were chatting happily, my neighbor Guilia suddenly came to the door with her 30-something son with a limp.
She said that I was already married to her son, and took out our marriage certificate, wedding photos, wedding video and the transfer record of 300,000 yuan.
This Guilia moved to our neighborhood half a year ago.
Because they have a disabled son and have a strange personality, few people are willing to pay attention to them.
Only in our family, we have always adhered to the principle that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Whenever we make something delicious, we will think of them.
When I went home on weekends, I felt that it was not easy for them to be an orphan and a widow, so I cleaned for them several times.
Until one day, she took my hand and said, " Anran , you are such a kind girl. Why don't you become my daughter-in-law? I will definitely treat you well."
Her son is already in his thirties and has some disabilities in his legs and feet. Most importantly, he is lazy and just stays at home on weekdays.
How could she dare to think of such a thing as a young girl in her twenties who graduated from a prestigious university?
I was instantly disgusted and never dared to go to her house again.
I thought the matter was over here.
Unexpectedly, when I brought my boyfriend home for the first time, Guilia came to my house with her son and slandered me that I had been married to her son, and produced a series of "evidence". I don't know where these marriage certificates, wedding photos, and wedding videos came from, and I don't know when she gave me the 300,000 yuan betrothal gift.
But I am sure that these are all fake.
I have never been married to anyone, let alone taken wedding photos or held a wedding.
Whenever there is a transfer record on my bank card, there will be a text message reminder. I have never received any transfer reminder at all.
But she didn't give me any chance to defend myself. She took me back to their hometown by force and locked me in a dark room, using me as a tool to have children.
During those desperate days, I thought about suicide, but thinking of my parents and my boyfriend, I endured it.
Finally, I slowly gained their trust and got some freedom.
It was at this time that I realized that my situation was not unique in their hometown. Most of the men in their hometown were disabled, and their wives were forcibly brought back in this way.
On a dark and windy night, I escaped with a few girls who had the same experience, but they caught up with us halfway.
They beat me to the point of dying, causing me to be seriously injured and infected, with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
I stayed in that dark room for half a month in agony before I breathed my last.
When I recall this, my whole body trembles.
I will never allow the nightmare of my previous life to happen again, and I will bring this vicious mother and son to justice.
My mother comforted me for a while for some unknown reason. When she saw that my emotions had gradually stabilized, she went out to clean up the room.
Just then, Horace called me via video.
I turned on the video and watched the face in the video that had appeared in my dreams countless times in the middle of the night in my previous life.
The tears that I had just controlled couldn't be held back and flowed down again.
" Ran Baoer, why are you crying?" Horace asked nervously.
I wiped my tears and said, "I'm fine, Horace , can we discuss something? You don't have to come here today."
"Why? Did your parents disagree?"
Horace's expression froze, and he was silent for a long time. Then he asked hoarsely, "Ran Baoer, I can go next time, but don't worry, no matter what your parents ask, I will try my best to do it."
"No, it's not."
I quickly shook my head and said, "My parents like you very much. There is something else going on. But please believe me, I will explain everything to you after I have sorted out the matter. I love you."
"Ran Baoer, I love you too. No matter what happens to you, remember, I will always stand by your side."
After hanging up the phone, I lay on the table and cried for a long time again before I controlled my emotions.
In my previous life, the vicious mother and son from our neighborhood came to visit because my boyfriend came over.
My boyfriend won’t come over in this life, so she won’t come over, right?
I quickly shook my head and denied the idea. She had been planning this for so long, she would definitely not give up just because my boyfriend didn't come.
I have to find the evidence in advance and be prepared.
