Chapter 5: Almost Bumped into Her

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

She had spent two years in prison and did not see through everything like she had imagined she would. Now, when she thought of these things, it still pained her heart!

Qingjiu was the name her adoptive father—Gu Hong—had given her.

When her father first found Gu Qingjiu, he gave her this name in the hopes that her life would be like a cup of sake. She did not need to live a vigorous life, but live life with her own taste.

Unfortunately, it was full of twists and turns.

She had lived vigorously, but died nursing a grievance.

Yu Shiwei could bribe the guards in the prison to murder her.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingjiu’s eyes that were slightly red because of the wind, looked up at the sky, forcing the tears back into her eyes. She clenched her fist and tried to persuade herself to suppress the hatred in her heart. Her hatred for the Yu family was not only because of the things they had done to her but also because they had caused the accident of her adoptive parents…

Parents?

Gu Qingjiu’s mind suddenly felt like a string tightening in an instant.

She came back to life again and it was before she had returned to the Yu family. Then, aren’t her parents still alive?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingjiu’s slightly dim eyes lit up with a ray of hope.

Feeling the excitement in her heart, she couldn’t care less that it was still schooltime and immediately moved her legs, heading home at full speed.

The school gatekeeper happened to be absent, so Gu Qingjiu escaped out of the school gate at a smooth pace.

The fresh air, the heavy traffic, and pedestrians coming and going were all colorful.

Gu Qingjiu had not seen such a bright and bustling scene for a long time.

In prison, it was basically dark all day.

Such a scene before seeing her parents made Gu Qingjiu feel unreal.

She really came back to life, back to before all this had begun, back to where there was time for her to make a different choice!

“Ah!!!”

A shrill scream brought Gu Qingjiu back from her thoughts.

She looked towards where the scream came from. It came from a military green jeep parked on the side of the road. Just as it was about to start, a three-year-old child ran behind it. The jeep was too high to see the child from the rearview mirror. If it wasn’t for the scream of the passer-by, the jeep would have almost hit the child when it started to reverse.

The child was in shock, but no one stuck his head out of the car.

The pedestrian by the side picked up the child and the child’s mother ran over and held her child tightly.

Someone from the car leaned out and said, “You can’t even properly watch over your child?”

He was a young man with a tuft of hair dyed white. He was wearing a men’s green sleeveless t-shirt and had a cigarette between his lips, looking like a ruffian.

Perhaps because of his bad attitude and sinister look, the mother of the child held the child tightly and shivered with fear. She dared not say a word.

The passers-by immediately began to accuse the young man of having no morals.

Seeing this, Gu Qingjiu looked indifferent and did not plan to be an on-looker. Her mind was full of her parents at the moment.

She was about to leave when she saw that the driver of the jeep was about to drive away for he had been angered by the accusation of the passers-by. But the crowd of passers-by had somehow blocked his line of sight at the side. So just when Gu Qingjiu stepped out, the car drove out and almost hit her!

“Screech!”

The screeching sound of the brakes almost burst people’s eardrums!
