When the nanny Zhang found me, I was being led out of the medical room by the staff of the amusement park.
"Xiaoran, where did your sister go! I can't find her anywhere." Zhang's face was full of anxiety, in the middle of winter, she was so frightened that she was covered in cold sweat. "What should we do, I've looked everywhere."
I weakly shook my head and said, "My sister said she was going to buy ice cream, I didn't go because my stomach hurt."
"Oh no, this is all over, she couldn't have been kidnapped, could she!"
Zhang panicked, collapsed to the ground, her thick lips trembling constantly, and when my parents hurried over, she cried and begged for mercy as she rushed forward to hug their legs.
"Sir, it's Xiaoruo who ran away on her own, I've looked everywhere but just can't find her... The police said it's possible that she was abducted by human traffickers, it's not my fault, please don't fire me!"
I was held in my mother's arms, coldly watching the tearful nanny begging for mercy.
She was a distant relative of my dad's, and after my family became prosperous, she came to our door several times looking for a job, and in the end, my mother, feeling pity, let her come to take care of me and Sheng Xiaoruo.
But during the years that Zhang took care of us, she had no idea how many things she took from the house, and indulged the sweet-talking Sheng Xiaoruo in ignoring me and targeting me when my parents weren't home.
It can be said that Sheng Xiaoruo's current arrogant and selfish nature, has half of her responsibility.
When my dad heard that Zhang took the money meant for our outing to buy toys for her grandson, and ignored us, his face instantly darkened and he kicked her away.
I had never seen my dad so angry before, I was a little surprised, but my mom mistakenly thought that I was scared by today's events, so she quickly embraced me to comfort me.
I obediently nodded and followed her home, my body unable to bear it, and I fell asleep dizzy, in the second half of the night, my consciousness gradually blurred, my body gradually heating up.
Because I had a fever, my mom had to divert her energy to take care of me, while my dad searched for Sheng Xiaoruo's whereabouts with all his might.
But unfortunately, they were bound to return disappointed.
In this relatively undeveloped and emotionally detached society, finding a child was like finding a needle in a haystack.
I was awakened by my mother's sobbing, and my dad, looking haggard, was consoling her.
"The police said they will inform us if they have news... we still have Xiaoran, we need to pull ourselves together."
My mother cried even harder at these words, my dad's words were gentle, but in fact, they both knew that Sheng Xiaoruo was not coming back.
In the following months, my parents continued to search without giving up hope, but still gained nothing, slowly, work, life, and my body, all diverted their attention.
A year later, they no longer had the same eager urgency in searching for Sheng Xiaoruo, they slowly accepted the fact that she was not coming back, and put more care on me.
My mother no longer trusted nannies, she quit her job to take care of me at home, my dad's company flourished at this time, and my parents moved the whole family to the capital city.
