But obviously, Wei Huaian underestimated the shamelessness of her parents.

In a normal family, when a child comes home after the college entrance examination, the parents will definitely greet them, prepare meals in advance, and let the child relax.

Things are different at Wei Huai'an's house.

Her parents forgot about her college entrance examination.

They also plan to exploit her newly free labor force.

Wei Huai'an had just returned home and sat down at the dining table to eat when he heard Wei's father say casually: "Xiao Man, the college entrance examination is over. Based on your birthday, you are now an adult."

Wei Huaian glanced at him. Without thinking too much, just looking at his eyes, he knew that he must be thinking of something else.

Seeing that Wei Huai'an ignored him, he didn't take it to heart. He acted like a calm person, and educated Wei Huai'an with sincere words: "You are not young anymore. It's time to take responsibility for your own life."

Seeing that he still didn't get down to business, Wei Huaian just hummed softly and continued to eat slowly.

When Wei's mother saw her attitude, she immediately became dissatisfied and said, "What's your attitude? You always say yes, but you say complete sentences, like a mute!"

Wei Huai'an didn't have much energy to argue with them, and said feebly: "I understand. You guys are telling me what's going on. It's not like I don't know that I'm an adult. Why didn't you tell me this when I became an adult?"

They were immediately speechless. After all, this matter was ultimately their fault.

However, Father Wei's ability to change the subject was pretty good. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Wei Huai'an's blatant attempt to undermine him, he frowned, but after a while his expression remained normal and he said to Wei Huai'an pleasantly: "Dad, I'm telling you this.

I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that since you have become an adult, you should start taking responsibility for your own life.”

"Although you have graduated from high school and are back home during the holidays, you should go out to work instead of eating and drinking at home and waiting to die, relying on our work to support you."

Wei Huaian: "..."

She couldn't tell for a moment whether this was sarcasm or seriousness.

Wei Huaian once wanted to say, are you serious? Who is eating, drinking and waiting to die? Does she have to say it so clearly?

Wei Huai'an sighed deeply, looked up at them and asked, "Is there anything else? Let's finish it in one breath. No need to be so tactful."

Mother Wei nodded and followed her words: "Yes, we just want to tell you that we will not be at home for the next few days, so you can work and cook by yourself."

As for them not having a job, where can they go if they are not at home?

Wei Huaian did not ask this question.

But she felt that she could guess that they were probably going to some casino without asking this question.

Then in the next few months, Wei Huai'an discovered that it was not just as simple as them not being at home for the next few days.

They simply disappeared from the world for several months without any news.

For Wei Huaian... this is actually not much different from the past two years.

In fact, it's all the same, she makes her own money to support herself.

The difference is probably——

She changed from eating in the school cafeteria to cooking by herself.

More than a month later, after the admission notice came out, Wei Huaian immediately packed up his things and left.

After Wei Huaian went to college, his contact with his parents gradually became less and less.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, after Wei Huai'an chose his courses, they rarely interfered with Wei Huai'an's affairs. Wei Huai'an guessed that maybe it was not because their desire for control had decreased. Maybe it was just because they were simply "busy" and forgot about it.

Just like in the past few months after Wei Huai'an's college entrance examination, they disappeared from the world. It was probably because they didn't like Wei Huai'an, or they didn't have any affection for her, but they had something more important in their hearts - gambling.

Yes, during the period when Wei Huaian had little contact with them, they were completely addicted to the money-eating game of gambling.

This is a black vortex. Maybe they know that they are already in a dangerous area that sucks them into the core, but it is too late. Their greed has overwhelmed them, and they have gradually lost sight of other things.

Wei Huai'an watched them having fun with cold eyes and did nothing to stop them.

Cold-blooded?

Maybe. But as parents, do they still need their children to interfere in their own path? In that case, it would be a failure as a person.

As long as it doesn't involve her, she doesn't bother to care about them.

And according to Wei Huai'an's observation, according to their life schedule of alternating day and night, drinking and gambling every day, it is estimated that the body will not be able to survive for long.

Sure enough, when Wei Huai'an graduated and started to become famous in the painting circle, something happened to them.

On a rainy night, they were extremely drunk and confused, but they insisted on driving home by themselves as if they were joking.

The rain that night, stained with the dirt of human blood and the burning smell of gasoline, washed away the soil on the ground over and over again, drowning out the cries of the wreckage crushed under the broken car, and extinguishing the already vain souls.

Take me away from this world.

——

When Wei Huaian arrived, he could only see two black coffins placed in the mourning hall.

Surrounded by white wreaths that had been decorated and relatives standing nearby waiting for her arrival.

Wei Huai'an's eyes swept over their faces one by one, taking in all the expressions in their eyes - greed, pity, and ridicule of the couple's lack of restraint during their lives, and their drunken life and death, which finally led to the current tragedy.

She heard them say—

"It's so pitiful. I lost my parents at such a young age, and now I'm really alone. The little girl must be very sad, right?" One person sighed in a sympathetic tone. As he spoke, his tone revealed a hint of condescension.

.

"Why do you think she will feel sad?" Another person standing next to the person seemed to say so, and then said in a voice that he thought others could not hear: "Don't you know? Those parents were not the same when they were alive.

Who are the people in charge? They have huge demolition money in their hands, and then they start doing whatever they want. They are drunk and dreaming every day, and they don’t even care about their own daughters.”

"Now that they are dead, the little girl is extremely happy."

Most of the two people who spoke came over to watch the lively neighbors after watching the news.

——Yes, Wei Huaian’s parents made news because they died in a drunk driving accident on a rainy night.

There were passers-by watching the excitement, and of course there were also those who had long been eyeing the demolition money in the hands of Wei Huai'an's parents, and said falsely: "We will take good care of Xiaoman."

…

However, Wei Huaian couldn't care less about what they were saying at this time.

Wei Huaian walked to the two coffins, feeling neither sad nor happy as they said.

She gently put her hand on the coffin and caressed it, but her mind flashed back to all the weird things they had said to her and done. She thought of their absurd and boring life, but she felt nothing in her heart.

.

Wei Huaian looked at the coffin in trance, confusion flashing in his always clear eyes.

Just die like this?

The person who once controlled her...is dead?

From now on, she will really be the only one in this world.

After realizing this, Wei Huaian pursed his lips, his throat became tight, and he couldn't say a word. He couldn't shed any tears, after all, Wei Huaian had no feelings for them.

but……

Their existence has always been a disgusting but necessary existence for Wei Huaian. Because of their existence, Wei Huaian can occasionally go back to that small house when needed and lie to himself that he is a family man.

And now, she can't fool herself anymore - she no longer has any anchor point in this world.

Wei Huai'an gently closed his eyes, and slowly revealed a completely relaxed smile in the sight that no one noticed.

She is free.

From now on, no one can control her anymore.
