Chapter 59
All she could think about was what would happen to her after she left Ling Yichen.
There was no money, no one, no place to live, no food, no clothes, it was unbearable.
But she still wanted to leave, so she could stop going to school and work part-time first.
In the evening, the driver came to pick her up and she had just entered the house when Ling Yichen's phone call came.
"I can't go back for the next few days, take care of yourself, if there is anything you can tell the driver, let him do it," Ling Yichen said in a hurry, "you can also call me if there is anything, if I don't answer, you can also send me a message, don't forget to change the medicine for your leg injury, don't get wet ......"
Xia Mao listened to the inexplicable heartbreak, his concern always makes her sour and sweet.
"Why don't you say anything? Did you hear what I said?" Ling Yichen asked in a suspicious voice.
"I heard you." Xia Mao answered in a muffled voice.
"Be good and obedient, I'll go back and bring you a present." Ling Yichen's voice lowered a few notches and his tone was gentle and coaxing, "What do you want?"
Before Lin Yuxin could answer, a woman's voice called him tenderly on the other end of the phone, "Yichen, hurry up."
"I'll hang up first." Ling Yichen said and hung up the phone, before hanging up, Xia Mo heard him say to someone, "Here it is."
The voice was not only gentle but also full of laughter.
Xia Mao took the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, then thought of Li Ji Yao's words in the morning.
"Sister, it's time to eat." Tian Ma called her with a smile from behind her, "Mister will be back in a few days."
Xia Mo looked back at Tian Ma and asked, "Tian Ma, I remember that your granddaughter is also going to university this year, right?"
"Yes, she just got in this year," Tian's mother's face broke into a smile, "She sent me a picture two days ago, and I see she's gained more than a round of weight again, and all she does is eat every day."
"If you knew she was adopted by a man, what would you do?" Summer's End asked softly.
"She wouldn't dare ......" Tian's mother's voice stopped abruptly and her face showed embarrassment as she said, "She's like a pig, all she does is eat, she can't even buy clothes that fit, her mother even said the other day that she doesn't know if she'll be able to get married in the future ......"
"Let's start dinner, Tian Ma." Xia Mao lowered her eyes and said warmly to Tian Ma, "Tomorrow morning I want to eat dumplings."
"Okay, okay." Tian Ma ran off to the kitchen, sweat running down her forehead, she almost said the wrong thing just now, she had to be more careful in the future.
Xia Mao then thought of her mother, and wondered what she would be like when she found out about her current situation.
When she went to school again, Xia Mao saw the look in Li Ji Yao's eyes and she ran away. She deliberately walked towards a crowded place, not giving him the chance to speak alone.
Li Ji Yao's heart sank slightly, but at this time he was young, ignorant and fearless, but he had a fighting spirit, he did not flinch and called out loudly "Xia Mao" in the corridor.
Xia Mao had to stop in full view of the crowd, "What's up?"
"There's something going on with the student council, I'd like to discuss it with you." Li Ji Yao reached out to help her, but seeing that she was walking much better, he retracted his hand.
"What is it?" Xia Mo knew he wasn't talking about the student council, but she knew more than anything that Ling Yichen wasn't someone Li Jiyao could offend, and she didn't want to harm him.
"Let's go over there and talk." Li Ji Yao looked at her with determination, as if he would not let her go if she did not agree.
Xia Mao followed behind him and headed for the stone paved path by the door.
"What do you really think?" Li Ji Yao suddenly turned back and asked, "Now that Ling Yichen is not in D City, it's the best time for you to leave."
"How do you know he's not in D City?" Xia Mao looked at him strangely.
"He didn't even say hello to you when he left?" Li Ji Yao looked at her even more strangely than she did.
"I was asking how you knew?" Xia Mao's voice slowed down and she whispered to him, "This matter, I will handle it myself, I know your good intentions, but I don't want to need your help."
"How will you solve it yourself?" Li Ji Yao also whispered, "What about your parents? Do they know what's going on? Do you want to talk to them about it?"
Xia Mao's heart sank, she wanted to, but where were they?
"No." Xia Mao bowed her head and turned to leave, "I can make my own decisions about my own affairs."
"If you're short of money, I have it." Li Ji Yao pulled her arm behind her, then said as if she was afraid of misunderstanding, "I mean I can lend it to you first, and then return it to me when you join the workforce after graduation."
"Thanks." Xia Mao took his hand away, "I know what to do with my things, if I really get into trouble, I will look for you."
"Xia Mao, stop deceiving yourself and others, Ling Yichen's soldier father had his 70th birthday and Ling Yichen took his wife and lover and two children with him to France," Li Ji Yao looked at her with pity, "Can't you see that? They are the family, following the example of E Huang and Nü Ying, he sits with his wife and concubines, while you ...... are nothing, you are just his leisure time ......"
"You don't say anymore!" Xia Mao's eyes were red and she looked up at Li Ji Yao, "Are you trying to humiliate me?"
"No," Li Ji Yao took a step closer to her, "I am trying to bring you to your senses and help you out of the darkness, you should belong to the sunlight, why do you have to curl up in a dark and unseen corner?"
Xia Mao looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
"I admit that I have a soft spot for you, and I have certain thoughts in my heart, but more than that, I feel unworthy for you, you deserve a better life, a better future, not to let others look at you with strange eyes and hide in the gossip like you are doing now."
"Li Guiyao," Xia Mao's eyelashes flickered slightly as she whispered, "You're so eloquent, why don't you become a lawyer?"
"If I said these words had been in my mind for five days and five nights, would you still think I was eloquent?" Li Ji Yao was stunned before he laughed bitterly, "You still have the heart to pay attention to this?"
Xia Mo gave him a gentle smile, revealing teeth as white as shells, "The boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge, no matter what it is, there will be a solution after all."
"It's good that you know, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Li Ji Yao said, then borrowed a mobile phone from Xia Mo and punched a number into his own, "This is my mobile number, remember to call me if anything happens."
"Okay."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, so they went to the front school building together.
In the evening after school, Xia Mao did not ask the driver to take her up.
When the lift reached the fifth floor, two men came up, one standing in front of the other, and Xia Mao didn't care, just moved towards the corner.
When the lift reached the tenth floor, Xia Mao opened her mouth and said, "Please give way."
The two men suddenly moved their hands together and covered Xia Mao's mouth. Xia Mao didn't even have a chance to struggle, before they pulled him up to the rooftop of the top floor.
Chapter 60
It was only when they reached the rooftop that they let go of Xia Mao, who ran to the corner in fear and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you ...... want?"
"What do you think we want?" The short, fat man smiled and walked towards her, "You say you are also quite pretty, what's wrong with doing something, why do you have to seduce other people's men?"
"Stop your nonsense there, hurry up and get rid of her so we can go." The tall man looked down the building, "As long as she falls from here, she will be hopeless, and our mission will be accomplished."
Xia Mao shuddered at the sound of this, they wanted to kill her?
Was this Lu Wanqiu or Lu Wanru who had sent them?
She reached into her bag and felt for the phone, but before she could take it out, the short man came towards her with a lewd smile.
"What's your hurry? Those guys downstairs haven't left yet, if we throw her down now, our brothers won't be able to get away, so we'll catch up when Han Laoliu has lured all the guys downstairs and get her down."
He smiled and put his dark hand towards Xia Mao, trying to touch her pale face, but Xia Mao screamed and snapped his hand away.
"Don't you touch me! Aren't you afraid that Ling Yichen will come after you?" Xia Mao lifted up Ling Yichen, "He won't let you guys off when he finds out."
"Beauty, you're so naive, you're just a plaything of Ling Yichen's, you really think you're a dish? Do you think he can really take you to heart? Who doesn't know that he accompanied his wife back to her mother's house and then went to a film festival with his new love? At this time of the day, they might be in the middle of a fling. The man said and put his hand out.
"I think you might as well let us have some fun and let you suffer a little less later."
Gritting her teeth in fear, Xia Mao threw her bag at him, shouting "help" as she did so.
But who could hear her cry for help from the rooftop?
"Do you want to fucking die?" The tall man suddenly rushed up to the short man and pushed him away, "I fucking told you to move faster, didn't you hear me?"
"Such a beautiful girl for nothing." The shorter man grinned and pulled the taller man's arm, "Can you let me have some fun first, even if it's just a couple of touches?"
"Get out of here!" The tall man glared.
"Let me see what a rich man's woman looks like, aren't you curious?" The short man was still undeterred and stepped in front of the tall man, "As soon as the people below are lured away, we'll do it, okay?"
"You fucking ......" The tall man hadn't finished his sentence when the phone rang in his pocket, he was busy trying to get the phone out of his pocket, "Hello? Leads away?"
Xia Mao's heart was tense, she knew she could point to no one now, she could only save herself.
She reached out and touched a brick behind her and held it tightly in her hand, looking warily at the two men in front of her with her hands behind her back.
"What? They're in the building?" The taller man didn't even hang up the phone, so he walked towards Xia Mao while rushing to the shorter man, "Hurry up, people are coming into the building."
"Who's coming into the building?" The short man still didn't get it, "It's not Old Six running into the building, is it? This idiot, can't he grow a brain? He's not leading people far away, he's leading them into the building?"
The tall man slapped him back, "You're really a pure fucking idiot! It's Ling Yichen's men coming into the building!"
Xia Mao seized this opportunity and rushed towards the tall man with a brick, jumping and smashing the stone in her hand into the back of the man's head, splashing her face with a gush of blood.
Xia Mao screamed out, took two steps back with the brick and sat down on her butt.
The tall man only had time to glare back at Xia Mao before he fell to the ground, and the skinny man was as dumb as a bat, watching the tall man fall before he pounced on the ground, covering the back of the man's head with his hand and calling out, "Big Brother ...... Big Brother, how are you doing? "
The tall man's mouth opened and he spat out a mouthful of blood, right on the thin man's face. The thin man was shocked and threw the tall man's head back on the ground as soon as his hand was released.
"The tall man spat out another mouthful of blood, which sent a shiver down Summer's spine.
Then the rooftop door was kicked open and the driver rushed in with two men, the driver rushed to Xia Mao's side first and asked worriedly, "Sister Xia, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Xia Mao shook her head and pointed at the tall man who was still bleeding, saying, "Quickly ...... quickly ...... save ...... save ...... him ......"
The driver first made a phone call and told a few more people to come up, he himself helped Xia Mao, whose legs were weak, back to the tenth floor, and said to the scared half-dead Tian Ma, "You see if Sister Xia is hurt, do you need to go to the hospital, I'll go upstairs first to see. "
Tian's mother nodded in agreement and helped Xia Mao, whose face was covered in blood, to the bathroom.
The first time I was in the bathroom, I was able to wash my body three times before the smell of blood was gone and my body wasn't shaking so badly.
The first thing she did when she got out of the bathroom was to call Ling Yichen.
But the phone didn't pick up when she dialed.
"The driver had already called Mr. just now, but he didn't pick up, so I guess he didn't hear it." Tian Ma said from the side.
Xia Mao called again undeterred, and after the phone rang five or six times, it was finally picked up.
"You ......," Xia Mao just opened her mouth, her nose sore, and she fell into tears first.
"Hello, may I ask who is this?" The voice that came over the phone was a young and slightly whispery woman's voice, "Yichen is sleeping, let him contact you later when he wakes up."
This voice was so distinctive and unfamiliar that Xia Mao's eyes blinked and tears hung in the corners of her eyes, "Who are you?"
This woman was not Lu Wanqiu, nor was she Lu Wanru, was she the so-called new love?
"I'm Man Man, which sister are you?" The woman on the other end of the phone smiled freely and cheerfully, "How about you leave a name? It's just that Yichen not only drank too much, but also exercised a bit too hard just now, so it looks like he won't be able to wake up for a while."
The woman's silvery laughter, reckless and open, like steel needles stabbing Xia Mao's body one after another, making her body chill, slowly hanging up the phone.
"The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're getting into.
Xia Mao's hand let go and the phone fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.
