AiLin unknowingly pushed her body more forward to hear to what Nanny Po has said. The older woman though undecided answered her in the end, "That teacher was on top of young master as he was studying. She pushed him to the ground and.. tried to assault him."
Though she expected sothing dark to happen, she didn’t knew this was what she should expect. Her heart sank and she stared at Nanny Po in a mont of disbelief.
"What?" She muttered, suppressing the urge that churn her stomach, "Assault?" She couldn’t believe what she heard. Suddenly all the repressed mories of her high school filled her head. She tried so hard to make it gone from her head but why does it suddenly ca back to her?
Ti moved so slow all of a sudden. Her body began to sway as her mind turned dizzy. The emotions she had tried is hard to erase, the mories she wished she could just erase completely from her head begin to reappear as the ntion of the assault trigger sothing inside her own heart.
All of a sudden in her head, the dark faces of young n pushing her on the ground while her body was frozen in fear. Those young n’s face remained a blank in her mory although she rembered their nas well enough from the fear that they had brought to her ntally. She then recalled their breaths that went to her skin and suddenly the nausea filled her throat, threatening to push forward.
She couldn’t calm down as her heartbeat increase. No! Not this again. Not it again.
She was getting better! The psychiatrist in the prison hospital told her that she’s now not the sa person as she was back then. She’s stronger. She is. She’s a different person. She’s not weak anymore. She’s... she’s.. those people...
Suddenly her befuddled head snapped and the touch of reality caressed her back. AiLin turned around her left to find Nanny Po gently tapping her back. The older woman had suddenly stood beside her, looking at her with worry as the mont she had ended her conversation, suddenly AiLin’s face fell and sothing in her seed to crack, slipping out sothing that felt so grim.
"Was my story making you feel uncomfortable, Miss Ailin? I’m so sorry," Nanny Po said sincerely. "It’s my fault, I should have known better what to say and warned you beforehand."
"No," she felt the burn on her throat that caused her voice to crack. She smiled and she shook her head, "I was just having a bit of terrible stomach problem. No worries, I’m better now," she tried to smile but her lips felt stiff. She sighed and pressed her forehead, "Is that the reason why Zi Chen hates won?"
"He doesn’t necessarily hates won. He’s not allergic, or hold a fear against them either," said Nanny Po sincerely while still rubbing her back. "He simply doesn’t feel comfortable to open up to another woman except the elders. He is extrely more severe against those won out there who would force him to act sexually with him despite his consent. Unfortunately, I said it’s "those" won, but it seed all the won that gathered around young master are won who thinks that getting a night with him would also buy them a ticket to success."
AiLin felt a bit more understating to why Li ZiChen was so aggressive when they first t. It must have been because the woman had triggered sothing from him that made him extrely uncomfortable. As soone who had went through similar experiences to him, she felt more understanding to his situation, feeling sympathetic.
"But you’re different," said Nanny Po with a smile, "You’re the very first person who had approached the young master with such sincerity."
Ailin laughed, "How do you know I’m sincere, Nanny Po? I might act you know," she teased the older woman to lighten the mood.
"I don’t feel anything terrible from you," Nanny Po said proudly, "As a woman who has grown wiser by age, I can tell for certain that you would never treat the young master like an object to success and as soone who had watched him grow, this is enough to make happy seeing you beside him."
A soft emotions waft into AiLin’s heart. She felt rather ward up by Nanny Po’s words and find the woman extrely endearing like her own grandmother. AiLin gave the woman a side hug, pulling her closely, "You’re so nice to , Nanny Po. I wish when I grew up I had you as my emotional support."
Nanny Po didn’t see how the girl’s face was a little sorrowful and gently picked her up, "I’m here for you now, Miss AiLin. Don’t hesitate! This nanny will always be on your side."
AiLin smiled at the old woman and then hugged her. She felt a sense of relief washing over her now that Nanny Po had offered her a hug. It was as if those horrible emotions she felt earlier was now gone. She knew it wasn’t really gone but she didn’t expect that her ntal state had gotten so low for the past few days after leaving the prison. She wondered if it was because of the sudden change in her lifestyle and considered on going to see another psychiatrist if needed.
In the afternoon, AiLin had arrived in front of the hospital.
She stared at it with a look of blank.
Although she did plan on coming here and even made an appointnt, she began to think twice and decided not to go for it. She did mad a promise to her previous psychiatrist to always visit a doctor when she felt out of sorts or begin to disassociate badly but she was too busy than doing this. She needed to continue weeding out the rest of her enemy, first going by Mrs Jiang, she thought in her mind.
When she turned her body around, her eyes widened as an unexpected face appeared in front of her.
The woman was none other than Jiang NianNian who had ca out of her private car, hand in hand, with a young man who seed to co from a well polished family background with brown suit and a swept hair.
Jiang NianNian’s bright smile disappeared at once upon seeing AiLin and she frowned, staring at AiLin with a grit of her teeth.
AiLin, on the other hand, kept her smile. She pulled her purse toward her shoulder and made her way toward both Jiang NianNian and the young man whose hand was hugged tightly by Jiang NianNian. Tight enough for the man’s arms to be pressing against Jiang Niannian’s bosom, sothing that Jiang NianNian always shalessly does to seduce her male partners.
"Oh, Miss Jiang," AiLin greeted first, her foxy eyes turned crescent as she crinkled the corners of her lips, "I never expect that we would be seeing each other again so quickly. I must be blessed since I have been wishing to have a second chance on seeing you."
But Jiang NianNian was frozen in place. Though she had found out that Jiang AiLin and Hua AiLin are two completely different people, she still felt unsettled seeing that AiLin would be standing in front of her, not dead— but alive— as if she had ca back for revenge for the things she had done in the past.
