1550: The Reason To Live On

The Reason To Live On

Jin Xiaoxi had been saved, but she could not remember who she was or how she ended up in the ocean.2

The explosion ruined her face and voice, and almost all of her memories.

She had become a lady that most despised because of how she looked.

She could only remember that her name had a "Xi" in it. Her adopted father named her Xiaoxi in the end.

Jing Xi began to live a new life as Jin Xiaoxi, and it was one that she cherished.

The reason for her to live on was so that she could find out who she was.

…

The old shop had been dealing with seafood for a very long time, and it reeked of the ocean.

Jing Xi set the empty box down and opened the glass door.

"Mom, I'm back," Jing Xi greeted.

"I can hear you! Don't shout!" Ge Juhua scolded.

"Okay," Jing Xi replied and took out a roll of cash. "Here's the money for the seafood."

Ge Juhua took the money and counted only 450 dollars in it.

"Where's the other 50? Did you steal it?"

"No, I didn't! I saw an injured kid on my way back, and I bought some medicine for him," Jing Xi quickly explained.

No matter how much Jing Xi had changed, she was still a kind and gentle person.

"Are you stupid or what?" Ge Juhua then scolded. "What does that kid have to do with you? Why would you spend our money on some stranger? That's hard-earned money that your dad got up early every day for!"

"But I ain't the only one who's wasting money!" Jing Xi refuted. "Brother is always gambling and loses most of our money too!"

"So what? Get back to work!"

Ge Juhua grabbed a broomstick and tried to hit Jing Xi.

Luckily, Jing Xi jumped aside and ran away. She went back to her room and saw her sister, Ji Hua, doing a live-stream.

Even though Jin Hua was already past her 30's, she was still single. It wasn't that she wasn't beautiful, but that she was too self-aware.

Men who weren't successful weren't good enough for her, while successful men would never fall for her.

She always fantasized about living a life as a princess or queen, waiting for her knight in shining armor to appear.

Not only that, but Jin Hua was also lazy. Ever since Jin Xiaoxi came to their house, Jin Hua basically left all the chores to Jin Xiaoxi.

Jin Hua was sitting in front of her phone camera and making weird faces for her fans.

But an ugly face suddenly appeared on her screen, and it shocked Jin Hua. Jin Hua wasn't the only one surprised, as her fans, which weren't many to begin with, all left.

"Jin Xiaoxi!" Jin Hua scolded after turning off her live-stream. "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm recording?"

"I'm sorry! I wasn't doing it on purpose. I was just curious as to how live-streaming works," Jing Xi quickly explained. Since she had no money to buy a phone, she could only look at her sister's.

"Why? Do you want to do some live-streams too? With that face?'
