Chapter 402: Chapter 273: Delivered to the Door
The second watch had arrived.
————
Zhao Qiyan, pointing at several sales clerks, with quivering lips, said, “I clearly saw those two n trying to rape , and you all just stood by indifferently. Are you even human?”
“If we had actually intervened, I bet you would have resented us for life. You’re really sothing, pretending like you didn’t want to loosen your belt when you did, and now standing here acting all innocent,” the older woman said as she handed a mop to Zhao Qiyan, “Go on, clean up your own ss, let filth encase you!”
Zhao Qiyan snorted coldly, threw down the mop, and walked out.
The sales clerks exchanged glances, surged forward together, dragged her inside, and gave her a brutal beating. They had been terrified earlier; both n were their superiors. When gods war, the likes of them could only watch.
Fundantally, this co-op was managed by the Xiao family, or else Xiao Yuwen wouldn’t have chosen this place for his misdeeds. But, i Yitong was also a leader of this co-op. They were just employees, with no right to interfere on either side, too insignificant for any side to court them to ally. Thus, for them, it didn’t matter who won; their only concern was to keep their jobs.
When it ca to cleaning up sses of this sort, they couldn’t, nor dared express any grievances. However, seeing this woman, they felt resentful; she was the root of all this chaos.
And more importantly, this woman had managed to offend both Xiao Yuwen and Director i, so when they stepped in on their behalf, it also served as a token of loyalty to offer one day.
The expelled Zhao Qiyan was so dazed she couldn’t tell north from south. She struggled to her feet, covering her face as she burst into tears, unaware of where her mother Lin Xiaohua was. Those three won had pinched, twisted, and kicked her so much that she now felt pain everywhere, seemingly unable to move away. But she couldn’t just stay there waiting to die; what should she do?
She had never felt as lost as she did now. All she wanted was to have a good life, so why had it gotten progressively worse? Thinking back on everything she’d experienced since arriving in City A, she suddenly missed her life back in her hotown intensely.
Of course, she also deeply hated Chuxia and Zhao Yulan.
In her view, they were all family. Why should they prosper and not care about her? Since they didn’t care about her, why should she care about them? Thus, she didn’t think helping Xiao Yuwen was wrong at all.
She was just a bit unlucky, that’s all.
Zhao Qiyan, quite noticeable already, beca even more so with her crying. This attracted Liu Zhenqiang, who was aware of Xiao Yuwen’s plan but had no authority to participate.
“Yanyan, I’m here, stop crying, I’m here,” Liu Zhenqiang held her in his arms, comforting her gently.
Caught in her loud sobbing and feeling heartbroken, Zhao Qiyan, unexpectedly embraced, quickly took her hands off her face, blinked her tear-swollen eyes, and upon recognizing who held her, burst into tears again.
“All right, all right, I’m here now,” Liu Zhenqiang, holding her, walked towards the bus station, “From now on, Brother Qiang will protect you, and not let anyone bully you, okay?”
Zhao Qiyan sniffled, “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true,” Liu Zhenqiang nodded, “When have I ever lied to you?”
Looking at the direction they were walking, Zhao Qiyan asked doubtfully, “Where are we going now?”
“Back to Brother Qiang’s ho, of course,” Liu Zhenqiang said softly, “From now on, you have a ho—Brother Qiang’s ho is your ho.”
“What about my mother? I’m sure my aunts must have thrown her out,” Zhao Qiyan said as she looked around.
“Does she have money on her?” Liu Zhenqiang asked.
Zhao Qiyan nodded, “Mm, the money you gave is with her.”
“Then let’s not worry about it for now, the situation is quite chaotic. With your condition, you can’t stay outside for long. Why not let take you ho first, and we’ll look for your mother later?
If she can’t find you, she’ll most likely head back to our hotown herself. We’ll need to go there to get our marriage certificate anyway. When the ti cos, I’ll take you ho and you’ll see her then.”
“Mm,” Zhao Qiyan responded and obediently followed him onto the vehicle.
In a car parked at a distance, Chuxia patted Lin Xiaohua, who stared blankly as her daughter left with Liu Zhenqiang, “Your daughter has gone to find her happiness. Whatever you want to do, go ahead, you can get out of the car now.”
Too focused on watching her daughter earlier, Lin Xiaohua hadn’t noticed that the handcuffs on her wrists had been unlocked. Scared witless by Jing Zhe, she silently jumped out of the car and ran after the bus that Zhao Qiyan had boarded.
