Chapter 518: Mother hanged herself

Along the way, there were also gangsters whistling at her.
She subconsciously quickened her pace and walked into a mall.
The mall was very big. Ji Yinbing walked inside and glanced around. This was the first time she had come to the mall in her life.
She looked out of place in the room.
Ji Yinbing went all the way to the third floor before finding what she wanted.
She entered a shop selling gla.s.ses and was immediately greeted by a polite salesperson. Ji Yinbing thought for a while before saying, “I want to buy a pair of sungla.s.ses.” The voice paused. She thought of Yan Nuo and her eyes lit up. She told the salesperson, “I want to give it to someone. The person who accepts the gift will go to the military academy to study immediately. I want a pair of sungla.s.ses that suits him.”
After hearing her request, the sales a.s.sistant said, “Our shop has many sungla.s.ses worn by soldiers. The popular brands are Ray Ban, Randolph and AO”
Ji Yinbing had never heard of these things.
She deliberately pretended to be experienced and said to the sales a.s.sistant, “Which one in your shop is the bestseller?”
“Randolph’s air force sungla.s.ses and AO general gla.s.ses are bestsellers.”
Ji Yinbing asked again, “What’s the price of these two gla.s.ses in your shop?”
“The Randolph costs 12860 rupees. The AO General Mirror is now discounted for 9560.”
Ji Yinbing heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, regardless of the type, she had enough money in her pocket.
“I want the Randolph.”
She thought that the expensive one would definitely be better.
Ji Yinbing, who had never even heard of Randolph or AO, did not know the difference between the two at all. She thought that expensive things were good, and good things were suitable for masters. Her master was so good, he should get the best.
Ji Yinbing took out all the money and handed it to the salesperson.
When she walked out of the shop, she was carrying a small box and the remaining hundred rupees with her other hand, but she didn’t feel disappointed.
She returned to the Yan manor and hid the things in the drawer.
The next day, she cleaned the house with all the servants and prepared for the celebration party that was for Yan Nuo tonight.
It was a joyous occasion to be accepted by West Point Military School.
Yan Nuo’s friends clamored for him to hold a celebration, and he could not resist their hospitality, so he agreed. The news that the young master of the Yan family was holding a banquet soon spread throughout the upper-cla.s.s aristocrats in Mumbai.
It was originally an ordinary celebration, but it instantly became a grand banquet.
Butler La Pu reminded the servants repeatedly that none of them were qualified to enter the main hall tonight. They were not even qualified to serve tea and water to the wealthy people. Ji Yinbing remembered La Pu’s words and thought that she would have to sleep very late tonight.
At five in the afternoon, there would be people arriving one after another.
In order not to affect the good mood of the aristocrats, the servants returned to their resting rooms early. Ji Yinbing had nowhere to go. She took her book and walked to a small park to read quietly. After an unknown period of time, a surprised shout suddenly sounded from behind her.
“Sadaya?”
Ji Yinbing had not heard this name for two years.
She closed her book and turned around in shock. She saw a handsome face.
Ji Yinbing was stunned for a moment before shouting, “Justin?”
The boy nodded hurriedly.
Ji Yinbing was even more surprised.
Justin was her second brother and was a year older than her. She also had a big brother called Vikas who was two years older than her.
Ji Yinbing stood up and looked at her second brother.
Justin looked at her as well, his eyes filled with surprise. “Where have you been all these years? Dad and I thought you were dead. You…” Justin noticed the clothes Ji Yinbing was wearing. One look and he knew that only rich people could afford silk fabric.
His expression became very excited. He said loudly, “That’s great, Sadaya. You don’t know how much trouble Ah Han has caused our family after you disappeared. Mom pa.s.sed away last year because of a serious illness. There’s no woman in our family now. Ah Han is still hara.s.sing us…”
Ji Yinbing noticed his words and her expression changed drastically.
“Did you just say that Mom pa.s.sed away?” She looked pale. Her thin frame stood in the hot air as if it might shatter at any moment.
Justin’s eyes dimmed a little. “Yes, Mom was seriously ill. She couldn’t stand the torture of the illness and hanged herself…”
Ji Yinbing’s heart ached for that poor woman.
How could she fall so ill!
Ji Yinbing knew better than anyone how her mother’s body collapsed.
Her mother’s sallow face flashed across her mind. She whispered, “It’s good that you’re gone. You’ll be free if you’re gone.” Living was like soaking in h.e.l.l for her. Death was a relief.
Justin did not hear her words clearly. He continued saying, “Sadaya, come back with me. Mr. Ah Han has yet to reject the marriage. He still remembers you. If you go back now, you can solve the problem of our family. Mr. Ah Han will definitely be very good to you…”
Hearing these words, although Ji Yinbing felt hateful, her emotions did not change much.
She had long seen through these family members.
In the eyes of her brothers, she was a girl. A girl was born inferior to them. Mr. Ah Han only cared about her because she was valuable.
Justin and the others looked down on girls, just like the higher-ups looked down on the lowly.
Ji Yinbing did not want to argue with him about dignity and blood ties.
She turned back, picked up the book, and threw it at Justin. “You’ll never get out of that slum alive.” Then she strode away.
Justin stood there for a long moment.
He was a little unhappy, but soon this displeasure was overcome by the joy of meeting his sister again.
That was great!
His sister was still alive! She was still doing well! She did not lose an arm or a leg. He had to go back and tell his father and brother.
Ji Yinbing ran to the wall of the Yan family’s manor in one breath and realized that many high-ranking officials and n.o.bles had arrived. Ji Yinbing hesitated for a moment before turning around to leave. She couldn’t go back yet.
She bought a small fish and came to a small river.
Ji Yinbing placed the small fish into the river. When she saw the small fish swimming around, she said, “When you reincarnate in your next life, don’t be a woman. If you want to be a woman, don’t ever come to India.” Ji Yinbing looked at the safety bracelet around her hand. She swallowed and sniffled.
She hugged her knees and buried her head between her legs. She whimpered and cried softly.
Many guests came to the Yan family.
Many families brought their children to the banquet. Every girl was dressed beautifully.
Yan Nuo and Yan Nuo stood together. Yan Nuo was already 19 this year, and Yan Nuo was 17. When the siblings stood together, Yan Nuo was taller than Yan Yu.. However, in front of his sister, Yan Nuo still did not dare to be rash.
