Chapter 38: Running Away?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the train station, Zhuang Nainai bought train tickets to Hangzhou.
While waiting for Lin Xi’er to bring her mother to her, she was filled with apprehension.
Standing at the entrance to the train station, she was restless, walking back and forth.
This time, she thoroughly offended Si Zhengting.
Thinking about that man’s methods…
Zhuang Nainai felt a chill behind her back. A s.h.i.+ver ran over her body. Her end would be extremely miserable.
Therefore… Now her priority would be to run!
She had already graduated from college. Although she had lived in Beijing since she was young, where can she not live?
In the vast human sea, with her disappearance, Si Zhengting will surely be unable to find her.
But, his anger… Would surely not affect the Gu Corporation?
Thinking about it, Zhuang Nainai felt a bout of frustration.
She shook her head. What was the point of thinking of this?
Putting aside the fact that it was not yet confirmed whether or not Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng were her biological parents, even if they were, she did not have any feelings for those two people. So… Zhuang Nainai, you are not allowed to think of them!
At this moment, despite how Zhuang Nainai’s mind was still tense, because she had not had good sleep for several days, her body was unable to take it in the end. Hence, she sat on the lounge chair beside her and slowly closed her eyes.
She had a nightmare.
In her dream, Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng’s hands were pressed on the iron board, letting out a hissing sound!
The two of them glared at her with resentment, extending their hands which have been broiled, yelling at her, “Gu Qingyan, how could you do this to us?”
“No! I didn’t mean to!” Zhuang Nainai suddenly woke up. Turning over, she fell on her b.u.t.t, from her chair onto the floor, with a bang.
“Ha ha!”
The people in the carriage around her began to let out a sound of kind ridicule. There was also a small child who stuck out his tongue, making faces at her.
Zhuang Nainai was so embarra.s.sed, she wished she could crawl in a hole and pull it in after her. She used one hand to cover her face, the other to prop up her body, then got up and around to sit at a place nearby. All along, her heart was unable to calm down.
In her dream, Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng’s miserable expressions were so clear, so vivid.
She waved her hand as though she could wave the image away, then she looked down at her cell phone. The train was going to depart in half an hour, why was her mother still not here?
She gave Lin Xi’er a call. Lin Xi’er was on the verge of tears. “Nainai, there was a traffic accident here, causing a traffic jam! But we should be able to make it in half an hour, we will arrive soon.”
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt that her escape route was not working smoothly. Why?
Hanging up the call, she held onto her cell phone. While she was fiddling with it, she saw Gu Deshou’s phone number.
Unexpectedly, she called the other party.
The phone call went through very quickly. Gu Deshou’s voice was brisk. “Qingyan? How is it? Have your things been settled?”
Inexplicably, Zhuang Nainai felt a sourness in her chest. “Yes.”
“That’s good, me and your mom are adding up your dowry! Alas, these years, your dad and mom have let you down, so we decided to give you more. Child, don’t blame your mom for her unpleasant words, that is… You put yourself in her shoes, her own daughter was stolen away, yet her daughter is protecting another woman instead, she also feels bitterness in her heart!”
Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai felt a certain sourness in the rim of her eyes. She paused, then finally said, “I know.”
“Well, good child. Quickly come home once you have settled things. Since receiving you into the Gu family, we have been busy with other things these few days, we didn’t have the chance to throw you a welcome feast. Tonight, your younger siblings will be home for dinner just in time for the weekend. Let’s get the whole family to celebrate your return.”
