Chapter 4

“Why aren’t you calling yet?!” Mo Yancheng frowned, glaring at him in distaste.

“Oh, I’ll call him now.” Executive Assistant Qi did not have time to be jealous right now, and hurried to place a call for Doctor Song.

In the room.

Mo Yancheng gingerly laid the girl onto the bed and pulled a nearby blanket over her body. He wanted to pry the peeler out of her grip as well, but it would not budge in the slightest.

It was evident how scared she must be to hold onto her weapon so tightly even while unconscious.

Mo Yancheng sighed. For some unidentifiable reason, he felt his heart ache.

He bent down and whispered softly in her ear, “You’re safe now. Don’t be afraid.”

Perhaps his statement might have had some degree of effect on her, for when he reached for the weapon again, the girl’s grip had loosened slightly. He took the peeler from her grasp, wiped away the bloodstains, and threw it into the trash can.

Gu Ran had a very long dream. Feng Cheng was present in this dream, alongside Mother, and Gu Yi, and a wretched old man who wanted to violate her whom she could not shake off no matter how hard she struggled. Finally, yet another well-built man appeared…

She couldn’t make out the man’s features. All she could remember was that his voice was pleasant and gentle. A few more people appeared after that, but she couldn’t see them. This was followed by a sensation of her body being pricked. Then, a long period of blank whiteness.

She slowly opened her eyes. A white ceiling greeted her vision, followed by a large bed.

Gu Ran shot up immediately and realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. A sharp pain from her right arm made her look down. It was medical tape.

Gu Ran frowned slightly, feeling a little dazed for a moment. It took her a while to remember that Feng Cheng wanted to sell her to Director Li last night.

She suddenly froze. With trembling hands, she shoved the blanket off to inspect herself. Although her clothes were a little messy, they were still intact, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her lower body. Everything was normal.

Gu Ran let out a long sigh of relief!

It was good that Feng Cheng’s despicable plan did not succeed!

Her last memory of the previous night was of fainting into the arms of some man. From the looks of it, that man had saved her, and had even called a doctor over to put her on a drip. No wonder she’d felt the sensation of being pricked in her dream.

The huge room was empty. She was alone. The person who saved her last night was no longer around.

It was a shame that she had not seen that person’s face clearly. Otherwise, she would have found ways to thank him properly.

At this thought, Gu Ran could not help but to think of last night.

To think of Director Li, who, before she’d fainted, wanted to violate her but was injured by the lamp she threw at him. To think of Feng Cheng and Mother, who’d done the deal with him.

Gu Ran blamed her own blindness for falling for the wrong person on Feng Cheng’s treatment of her. But Mother… that was her own biological mother! How could she just calmly deliver her own daughter to Director Li’s bed!

Was she a burden to the family name because of the fiasco of her previous marriage? Was Gu Yi the real Gu Family heiress because of this? Was this why Mother gave both her daughters such vastly different treatments?

Was the blood flowing through her not her mother’s blood?

But these were no longer important!

Today’s Gu Ran will never be the same as the Gu Ran of the past. God had given her a second chance to live life anew, and she was going to treasure it dearly!

Mother!

Feng Cheng!

Gu Yi!

These people have hurt her, bullied her, and she will never let them get away with it!

After briefly tidying her clothes, Gu Ran got off the bed and left the room, preparing to go downstairs.

Just as she stepped into the corridor, the elevator doors opened. She walked two steps faster. “Wait.”

The person standing in the elevator heard her and pressed the button to keep the door open.

Gu Ran walked in without even raising her head, and said mildly, “Thank you.”
