Wen Shiyi got home from evening self-study at 9:12 PM.
She used her keys to open the door as usual, not expecting that before she could insert the key, the door would be opened from the inside.
Wen Shiyi glanced up and, unsurprisingly, saw that it was her stepmother who opened the door.
Her stepmother was only 37 years old and still very young, but life had already weathered her face with hardship.
Right now, her stepmother was frowning at her with impatience and started interrogating: "Why do you come home so late every day? What time is it now? Do you even remember to come back?"
Wen Shiyi had explained many times that she came back late because of evening self-study, but not once had her stepmother listened. Gradually, she lost the will to explain.
