The road was potholed, and there were large patches of water on the ground. Cheng Ruan chose to go in the opposite direction to her private high school, she didn't want to be seen by acquaintances.

In the quiet night, Cheng Ruan sat quietly on the side of the street. She was soaking wet, with a puddle at her feet.

She put her hand in the puddle and soaked it for a long time, but she still couldn't wash the blood between her fingers.

By this time the rain had already stopped, and three or two people came and went on the street.

When they saw Cheng Ruan, they avoided it one after another.

In a strange way, and even worse, pointing fingers at her.

She looked up at the dark sky by the light of the street lamp, and counted the time in her heart. At this time, Yan Mo should have been sent to the hospital by his bodyguards, right?

Cheng Ruan washed his hands in the puddle again.

Then, she got up and walked into a store not far away.

"Boss, come a box of cigarettes."

Cheng Ruan took out Yan Qing's mobile phone and opened WeChat payment.

The boss glanced at her, "It's only Xuan Hemen." ”

"Yes," at this time, Cheng Ruan was not picky, she glanced at the shelves, "Get another lighter." ”

-

Cheng Ruan actually didn't see much blood on her body, every time the bodyguard pointed the knife at her, she would skillfully avoid it, except for the thighs and arms where the knife cut through the surface of the skin, Cheng Ruan only had bruises left on her body by the beating.

As for the back of the head, Cheng Ruan estimated that it was scratched by the sharp stones on the concave and convex wall, and there was no big problem.

She came out of the store with a cigarette in her mouth and ran into a man.

Cheng ...... Teacher? ”

The man called out to her.

Cheng Ruan lifted his eyelids, saw the person clearly, and raised his eyebrows.

Leaf cream?

She laughed, if she heard it right, Ye Shuang just called her teacher?

-

Meanwhile.

In a high-end apartment building in Baicheng, where every inch of land is valuable.

The décor is luxurious, the interior is as bright as day, and even the floors are made of the most luxurious teak wood.

This house originally belonged to Cheng Ruan, but after Mrs. Cheng agreed to let Cheng Yuan move in, Cheng Yuan asked her assistant to come over the next day to put away all the things that belonged to Cheng Ruan and replace them with her own daily necessities.

Because of the heavy rain, the crew was on holiday in the past two days, and Cheng Yuan moved in openly.

At dinner time, the fragrance is overflowing.

There was a table full of dishes, and in the huge apartment, there were only two people, Cheng Yuan and Cheng Shuangjue.

Cheng Yuan was wearing a light blue knee-length skirt, with loose hair and pseudo-no-makeup. She sat across from Cheng Shuangjue's dining table and served him vegetables from time to time.

Compared with her, Cheng Shuangjue seemed a little unwilling.

Several times, Cheng Yuan saw Cheng Shuangjue looking at the night outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

She put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue, wiped her mouth, and asked him with a gentle smile, "Ah Jue, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Shuangjue retracted his gaze and shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

The young man has not fully grown, and his tough face lines are a little delicate against the soft light, he pursed his lips and looked at Cheng Yuan's obviously thin cheeks, "You...... I've read the news some time ago, don't listen to those people's nonsense, and don't be sad. ”

Cheng Yuan smiled lightly and looked at him gently, "Okay." ”

Cheng Shuangjue was looked at by her like this, and lowered her head a little embarrassed, poking the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, as if talking to herself and as if showing her loyalty, "I will protect you." ”

"What?"

"I said," Cheng Shuangjue raised his head and looked serious, "I want you to be happy every day." ”

Cheng Yuan's eyebrows bloomed with a gentle smile, and when Cheng Shuangjue lowered her head again because of embarrassment, a flash of pride flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly covered it up.

Everything that Cheng Ruan has, the position of the eldest lady of the Cheng family, the property of the Cheng family, and ...... relatives, shares, and even Cheng Shuangjue's younger brother.

Little by little, it will become her possessions.

Cheng Kite's eyes swept over the luxurious and exquisite apartment furnishings silently, only to feel that the unhappiness that had been losing business contract endorsements in recent days had all dissipated at this moment.

She added another piece of fish to Cheng Shuangjue, and asked casually: "Ah Jue, why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded tonight?" ”

As soon as her words came out, Cheng Shuangjue subconsciously glanced out again.

"Not really." He still said that.

Cheng Yuan felt a little strange, but she didn't ask much, just when Cheng Shuangjue was in adolescence.

It wasn't until a moment later that he suddenly said, "I'm full, I'll go first." The weather is bad these two days, so try not to go out. ”

Only then did Cheng Yuan realize that something was wrong.

But apart from her business, who else can make Cheng Shuangjue so anxious?

Cheng Kite maintained a gentle and caring posture and sent Cheng Shuangjue away.

When she returned, she found a message on her phone that she had placed on the dining table.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow."

From Qiao Zhengyu.

Cheng Yuan sneered and threw the phone back on the table. Why is it so difficult for Qiao Zhengyu to make an appointment now?

He won't ...... You also believe the reports written by those unscrupulous reporters outside, right?

-

Half an hour later.

In the dim and lonely alley, Cheng Shuangjue stared at the blood all over the ground, and was a little speechless.

"Hey, can you be clearer? Which location exactly? We make it easy for the police to go to the police. ”

The young man picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the interface of the police call he dialed, and said with difficulty: "Don't use it." ”

"What?"

He turned and walked out: "I'm sorry, I made the wrong call. ”

Cheng Shuangjue ran to the street and stopped a taxi, bent down and sat in: "Go to Lishui Apartment." ”

Because of the weather, there are not many people who are willing to rent sports cars tonight, and the fare is half as expensive as before.

When Cheng Shuangjue stopped the car, the driver was reluctant to stop, and the driver saw that he was dressed so ordinary, and felt that he might not agree to pay such an expensive fare, but as soon as he heard him say the words Li Shui Apartment, the driver's eyes instantly lit up.

He actually picked up a rich man's son-in-law?

-

The two previous meetings with Ye Shuang were all in the scene where Ye Shuang was bullied to the point of embarrassment, and Cheng Ruan never imagined that she would accept Ye Shuang's help in such a depressed situation.

Ye Shuang's house was nearby, and she saw that Cheng Ruan had blood on her body, and the clothes on her body could no longer be worn.

So he took her home.

On the way, Cheng Ruan asked her, "How do you know that I am a teacher at your school?" ”

Ye Shuang didn't wear glasses today, but the heavy bangs still covered her forehead. She lost her inhibitions in school, and her whole person seemed free and casual.

She replied to Cheng Ruan: "Guess." ”

Cheng Ruan glanced at her and didn't speak again.

In fact, through the first two little contacts, she could feel that Ye Shuang was a delicate person, and she didn't know what the place where Ye Shuang lived was like?

Cheng Ruan thought that if she could meet Ye Shuang's parents this time, she would like to have a good chat with them about Ye Shuang's presence at school.

Along the way, she imagined many scenes of meeting Ye Shuang's family, and also imagined many kinds of Ye Shuang's family atmosphere.

But when she really came to Ye Shuang's door, no amount of fantasy could compare to the most straightforward impact that her eyes gave her at that moment.

"Where did your sister die again?"

A woman's shrill voice could be heard from inside the ordinary, humble rental house.

Ye Shuang didn't let Cheng Ruan enter the door, so she asked her to wait at the door, "I'll go get you clothes." ”

Cheng Ruan didn't need to be so troublesome, she just went home directly, but inexplicably, at that moment, she wanted to see how Ye Shuang could help her.

How can a person who is deeply troubled by himself help others?

"Why did you come back?"

"Hurry up and brush the dishes!"

"Why did I put up a big family like you, one is lazier than the other, I knew that I would never marry your Ye family in the first place!"

"Don't just look at your sister, and you, it's so difficult for you to learn?"

"Where are you going?"

"The old lady asks you! You dead white-eyed wolf, is it easy for me to give birth to your sister and brother? ”

Cheng Ruan didn't enter the house, but just listening to these sounds, he could imagine what the scene was like inside.

Ye Shuang moved quickly, she took the simplest T-shirt and trousers, and she handed it to Cheng Ruan: "This is new, I haven't worn it." ”

Cheng Ruan took it from her hand, paused, and asked, "That's why you didn't resist?" ”

Ye Shuang also took out alcohol and cotton swabs, and when she heard Cheng Ruan's words, she didn't respond, and pressed the cotton swab stained in alcohol on the less obvious abrasion on Cheng Ruan's forehead.

Cheng Ruan hissed and subconsciously dodged.

She still has a wound on her forehead? Why didn't she feel anything at all?

Ye Shuang took his hand and looked at Cheng Ruan with some dissatisfaction: "Don't move, hurry up and finish it, I still have to go back to wash the dishes." ”

Cheng Ruan Xian was troublesome and waved Ye Shuang's hand away.

"Ye Shuang, if you want, I can pay to help you change schools, and I can also sponsor you to go to college and help you escape from here."

Cheng Ruan could clearly see the glimmer of hope that appeared in Ye Shuang's eyes after her words fell.

But for some reason, Ye Shuang chose to refuse.

Ye Shuang glanced back at the dilapidated small rental house.

"She's already pitiful, and if I can't help her with something, she'll be driven crazy."

Cheng Ruan knew who Ye Shuang was talking about, and she remained silent.

Ye Shuang seemed to be really in a hurry, so she simply stuffed alcohol and cotton swabs into Cheng Ruan and asked her to deal with the wound by herself. She walked back, Cheng Ruan looked at Ye Shuang's back and heard her say.

"She's my mom and she can't live without me."
