Chapter 1319: Chapter 1315 Movie 2
Qiao Xiaren and Si Limo sat together, next to a young couple. The woman was holding popcorn in her hands, and when she felt someone sit down beside her, she instinctively glanced over.
Oh, it was just two dark silhouettes!
Watching a movie is fine, but why are you dressed so strangely!
The movie was about to start, so the woman didn’t bother herself with others’ attire, focusing her eyes on the big screen.
At this time, the cinema was almost full, and a small group of people started discussing the film that was about to premiere.
Soon, there was movement on the screen, and the murmurs gradually faded away.
On the dark screen, a faint bluish light was reflected. As the scene gradually opened up, people saw a pair of beautiful hands holding a lush flower.
The hands slowly lifted, drawing people’s gaze to the endless horizon, where a crescent moon hung. This surprising movie opening made the audience feel a touch of the cool night, which was very comforting.
Moonlight shone into a shabby house, where a girl appeared to be playing the piano, looking no older than sixteen. The character Caroline, played by Qiao Xiaren, made her entrance.
Qiao Xiaren was naturally young, so playing a sixteen-year-old girl was effortless for her.
The villa looked spacious but she was the only one there. The drapes by the window swayed, giving the audience an inexplicable sense of fear.
Especially those white arms, covered with what seemed to be bruises from pinches, looked shocking under the moonlight. No one knew who had pinched them!
This scene showed Caroline’s childhood, where she was forced by her mother to practice piano arduously. Caroline’s father ran away when she was born, and her mother, gritting her teeth, used the money saved from years of selling fruit to buy a piano for Caroline, making her practice it every day.
She hoped that one day Caroline would become a star in the spotlight, no longer suffering from those despicable men. At that moment, her mother was still scolding Caroline, hoping she would work harder to escape poverty soon!
Caroline, played by Qiao Xiaren, had dreams, yet despised her mother’s mindset of using her to make money, thinking someday she would break free from her.
Whenever Caroline hit a wrong note, a merciless slap came down: "How did you get it wrong again? You always make mistakes, why don’t you just die?"
Caroline was knocked forward onto the piano by the slap, her pretty face frowning, eyes showing a flicker of pain, and those hands cramped and stiff from long hours of practice, unable to get up immediately.
Another slap followed, soaking her tears into oblivion.
How tragic!
The cinema audience let out sighs, some even couldn’t bear to watch any longer. There was no doubt that the bruises on her arms earlier must have been caused by her mother!
"Oh my God, isn’t Qiao Xiaren in pain? That slap left a mark on her face. It even hurts watching it!"
"So brutal, it’s making my heart clench!"
The film continued.
Every day, Caroline’s mother filled the room with her sharp tongue.
Caroline hated her mother, the daily torment of both mind and body sowed a seed of hatred within her, leaving the audience stunned by the opening.
The "mother" in the film undoubtedly delivered authentic "action scenes," and Caroline lived daily in a state of near-abuse from her mother’s beatings and kicks.
As Caroline grew older, her mother began to bring home all sorts of men, indulging in drugs and other reckless behavior.
