Chapter 650: I’m The One You Should Throw Away
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly. His voice wasn’t loud, but the coldness that ca out of his voice revealed his current mood.
“No,” Shi ngwan quickly explained, “I didn’t stalk you.”
“I just happened to pass by.”
“Pass by?” Zhan Haoze’s gaze beca sharper. “You passed by here?”
Shi ngwan was a little embarrassed. Indeed, she wasn’t passing by here. She was just here to reminisce about the past.
She couldn’t help but glance at Zhan Haoze. What about him? He should be considered a successful person now, right? Why did he appear here?
Realizing that she had asked that question out loud, Shi ngwan’s expression beca a little awkward.
Zhan Haoze didn’t answer her question. He stared at her face and suddenly approached.
“Do you live near here, Miss Shi?”
“No.”
“Then why did you appear here, Miss Shi?”
His slender legs took a step forward and successfully sandwiched Shi ngwan’s body between him and the electric pole.
Facing such a predicant again, Shi ngwan felt a little uncomfortable. She leaned back abut didn’t try to push Zhan haoze away. She knew the difference in strength between the two of them.
“Does this place belong to your family?”
They had faced such a situation twice, especially when they had such an unpleasant eting last ti. Shi ngwan’s tone wasn’t very polite.
She was a woman with a sharp edge to begin with, but because the other party was her Dear Brother, she had been supressing it in front of him.
“If this place doesn’t belong to your family, then what right do you have to question like this?”
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly because of her sharp retort, and his body quickly approached her. He lowered his body and confronted Shi ngwan.
The malicious look in those eyes made Shi ngwan’s back feel slightly cold, but she refused to admit defeat.
“Since you can co to this place, then naturally I can co too. Mr. Zhan, you aren’t a police officer. Can you please let go now? Let leave?”
The alley was dark, and the howls of the group of people could still be heard from the corner not that far behind.
In front of her was Zhan Haoze’s body. No matter how one looked at it, the atmosphere was very strange.
Seeing that Zhan Haoze didn’t intend to make way, Shi ngwan didn’t want to stay any longer. She bent down and wanted to leave from the side.
Zhan Haoze didn’t move. When she retreated, she accidentally touched his arm. She heard a soft, muffled groan.
Shi ngwan, who could have left, suddenly stopped.
She looked at Zhan Haoze, who was standing beside her, and her gaze fell on his arm. She saw the faint blood stains on his elbow.
“You, you’re injured?”
Shi ngwan lost her cool. She instinctively lifted Zhan Haoze’s arm.
“Are you okay?”
Zhan Haoze frowned slightly. He didn’t even notice that he was injured.
“How are you? Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
The three consecutive sentences of concern made Zhan Haoze’s brows furrow. Shi ngwan wasn’t short, but as she was holding his arm, he could only see the top of her head.
“Should I send you to the hospital?”
After saying this, Shi ngwan raised her head to look at him. When she t his cold expression, she rembered that the man in front of her was no longer her Dear Brother.
As if her hand had received an electric shock, she quickly retracted it. She was annoyed that she had ddled in other people’s business. She turned around and was about to leave.
However, Zhan Haoze was following beside her at this mont.
After taking a few steps, Shi ngwan suddenly stopped and looked at him. “You...”
“Didn’t you say you would send to the hospital?”
She did say that, but that was what she thought — Shi ngwan’s footsteps were getting faster and faster.
Zhan Haoze’s footsteps didn’t have to be fast. His footsteps were much bigger than hers. Shi ngwan sensed the footsteps behind her, and her emotions were very ambivalent.
It wasn’t until she walked to her car and opened the car door that Zhan Haoze followed her into the car.
She sat in the driver’s seat and looked at Zhan Haoze.
“Mr. Zhan, yesterday you said that I seduced you. If you get into my car now, aren’t you afraid that even if I pester you, you won’t be able to escape?”
The night light was dim. The dim streetlights made her facial features look hazy, and her clear eyes looked a little provocative.
“Drive.”
Zhan Haoze retracted his gaze and didn’t look at her anymore. He leaned back against the chair.
Shi ngwan gritted her teeth and wanted to chase Zhan Haoze out of the car. In the end, she glanced at his side profile and started the car.
“Don’t go to the hospital.”
His words sounded extrely faint. If it wasn’t for the silence in the car, Shi ngwan wouldn’t have heard it.
She couldn’t help but look at him again. She noticed that Zhan Haoze’s eyes were half-closed and he was leaning against the car seat, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Shi ngwan retracted her gaze and stepped on the accelerator.
On the way, Shi ngwan turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze. His arm was still bleeding.
Her heart trembled slightly as she thought of her Dear Brother.
More than ten years ago, Shi ngwan, who was only twelve years old, got lost from her parents. Although she said she got lost, she actually ran away from ho.
She was from Lin City, but she wasn’t from Lin City’s downtown area. She was from a small county city under Lin City.
Shi ngwan’s father was the eldest in the family. He had two younger brothers under him. The small county city where Shi ngwan lived was very patriarchal and sexist.
Shi ngwan’s two uncles both had sons. Only Shi ngwan’s family didn’t have one. Because of this, Shi ngwan’s grandmother was very dissatisfied with Shi ngwan’s mother.
Shi ngwan’s mother didn’t have an easy life in the Shi family, and because she hurt her body while giving birth to Shi ngwan, it wasn’t easy for her to get pregnant again.
Until Shi ngwan was nine years old, she hadn’t given birth to a second child.
Shi ngwan’s father was the eldest of the three brothers in the Shi family, but he didn’t have a son. As a result, Shi ngwan’s grandmother disliked her eldest daughter-in-law more and more.
It wasn’t until Shi ngwan was eleven years old that her mother miraculously got pregnant. Shi ngwan thought that her mother would definitely give birth to a younger brother. This way, her mother’s life would be better.
But who knew that Shi ngwan’s mother’s second child was still a daughter.
Shi ngwan’s grandmother beca even more displeased, and even Shi ngwan’s father’s mood was heavy. They had a newly born little girl in the house, but no one had a smile on their face.
Shi ngwan was already sensible, and she didn’t like the tension in the house. She hated her grandmother for criticizing her every day and saying that her mother was a hen that didn’t lay eggs.
She hated her father for frowning because she was a daughter, and she hated her mother even more. It was clearly not her fault that she gave birth to a daughter, yet she had to bear all the responsibility herself.
No matter how much she hated that ho and hated the tension in the house, she still tried her best to comfort her mother and help her take care of her little sister.
She comforted her mother and told her that giving birth to a boy or a girl wasn’t a decision that she could make alone. She didn’t need to bla herself, and she didn’t need to feel guilty. Even if her mother didn’t listen to her, she still had to say it.
She had learned all of this from her textbooks, and she had also seen it acted out on television. Also, equality between n and won had long been achieved. The teachers all said so, so her mother’s sexism was backward and stupid.
Regardless of whether her mother listened or not, she tried her best to maintain the peace and harmony in the family, until she heard her grandmother persuade her father to give her younger sister away. When the ti ca, she could have another child.
She said that if her mother didn’t agree, she would let her father bring the children of second or third uncle’s family over.
Shi ngwan finally beca angry. Her little sister was so cute. Even if she was a girl, she was still her father’s child. How could her father think of giving her sister away?
Having taken care of her sister for a few months, Shi ngwan, who already had affection for her, beca furious on the spot.
“Why are you giving her away? If you want to send soone away, then send away. My sister is still so young. Haven’t you thought about what will happen to my sister after you send her away?”
Grandma didn’t expect her to hear that. She lost it and started cursing. After scolding Shi ngwan’s mother, she started scolding Shi ngwan. She said that it was all her fault that she didn’t have a brother.
Shi ngwan was furious. “If that’s the case, then I’ll leave this house. I’d like to see if you can get what you want without .”
Shi ngwan’s father and Grandma both thought that she was simply saying things in a fit of anger, but Shi ngwan was serious.
She really ran away from ho. She took her new year’s money and savings, then directly hailed a ride to the county town. That day, there was still the last bus to Lin City left.
Shi ngwan was really brave. She got on the bus to Lin City just like that.
But when night fell and the bus stopped at Lin City Bus Station, she realized what she had done on impulse.
She, a 12-year-old girl, had run away from ho just like that.
Shi ngwan, who got off the car, had a mont of regret. She had never left ho in her entire life.
The only thing she knew about this world was from school, books, and television. Holding the little amount of money she had left, Shi ngwan didn’t know where she could go or what she could do.
Sister Xiuxiu, who lived next door, said that if she worked outside, she could make a decent amount of money every year, but she was still too young at the mont.
At twelve years old, although she was almost 1.5 ters tall, she was still a child.
Moreover, she didn’t have a degree, and she hadn’t even finished junior high school. How could she find a job?
She walked along the streets of Lin City Bus Station, and the more she walked, the more she strayed. Later on, she arrived at this area.
This was the famous slum of Lin City. At that ti, although this place wasn’t dirty or ssy, it definitely wasn’t very clean.
Shi ngwan felt hungry as she walked. She went into a small shop, then bought a loaf of bread and a bottle of water to fill her stomach.
However, she didn’t know that she was being stalked by soone.
Although she was only twelve years old, her mother was a famous beauty in the area. Although father Shi’s personality wasn’t dominering enough when compared to her Grandma’s, he was still decent-looking.
Shi ngwan inherited all her parents’ physical strengths. She had almond-shaped eyes, willowy eyebrows, delicate skin, and shiny black hair.
From the twelve years old Shi ngwan, one could already foresee what sort of beauty Shi ngwan would be when she grew up.
What would a lone wolf, very beautiful little girl experience?
Shi ngwan wasn’t an idiot. Although she had lived in a small town, her teachers were good at educating them on safety.
When she was eating her bread, she realized that soone was watching her from not that far away.
At that mont, Shi ngwan felt very flustered. She began to regret her impulsiveness again.
But if she were to go ho now, not only would she be stuck in a helpless situation, but she was also unwilling to go back.
Her family wasn’t poor, but they weren’t rich either. She didn’t have much money left after buying the bus ticket. She didn’t have any money to buy a ticket to go ho now. More importantly, there wasn’t a bus she could go ho on at the mont.
She looked at the two people, who looked like hooligans, who were staring at her in the distance. She gritted her teeth and entered the small shop again.
She seized the opportunity of buying another loaf of bread to take a risk. She told the store owner that she was being followed. She asked the store owner if there was a back door. She wanted to leave through the back door.
Fortunately, the store owner was a good person. She told Shi ngwan that next to the bathroom, there was a small door behind her.
But she also told her that if she went out from there, there would be a small alley. It was convoluted there. People who didn’t know the way would easily get lost in there.
Shi ngwan wasn’t afraid of getting lost at the mont. It would be better if it was convoluted. That way, if those two people stalked her, she could think of a way to escape.
She had already decided that if she left here, she would go to the police station. She would let the police send her ho.
No matter how unpleasant her Grandma seed and no matter how harshly she scolded her, she couldn’t really do anything to her anyway. At most, she would just get a good beating.
She left through the back door and got lost in the convoluted alley.
it was already bad enough that she got lost, but the worst thing was that even the slightest sound would scare her.
She was afraid that the two n would catch up with her and do sothing to her.
It was also at this ti that she heard so extrely chaotic sounds.
Even the dark night, the dim street lights, and the weather were similar to today’s.
She heard many footsteps, and a few of them were very clear.
“Boss said that it’s fine if we don’t kill him. We just have to cripple him.”
“Deal with him properly. Let him learn a lesson.”
Shi ngwan had already forgotten that she was being stalked. She walked around the alley and saw that in the alley, a group of people surrounding a youth were punching and kicking him.
Under the dim light, she couldn’t see the youth’s appearance clearly. However, the instant the youth raised his head, she t a pair of extrely gloomy and sharp eyes, like a wolf’s eyes in the dark.
Shi ngwan was shocked by that gaze.
She heard the youth speak with an unpleasant voice that was unique to the voice changing stage.
“You’d better kill . Otherwise, I will definitely repay what you do to today tenfold, a hundredfold, in the future.”
“Yo, kid, you’re quite brazen.” The voice from earlier sounded again. “Since that’s the case, if I don’t give you so intimidation, I wouldn’t live up to my reputation as Brother Qiang.”
“Brothers, beat him to death.”
That group of people attacked even harder. Shi ngwan heard a muffled groan and the sound of fists landing on people’s bodies.
She felt pain just by watching the scene. However, that youth refused to beg for rcy. Not only did he refuse to beg for rcy, he even seized every opportunity to counterattack.
His eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark night. Shi ngwan had never seen such a person before.
Despite being beaten up to such a state, he was able to make himself appear more calm and composed than the rest of them.
She looked left and right, but there was no one there. There were too many people, and she was only a little girl.
She herself was in a plight, so she didn’t know how she could help the other party.
It wasn’t until she saw the man who spoke pick up a steel pipe and was about to hit the young man’s hand.
“Police!” Shi ngwan shouted without thinking.
“Police uncle, it’s over there. There’s a fight over there.”
As she spoke, she grabbed the stones on the ground and kept hitting the trash can next to her.
Her feet kept stomping on the ground. It sounded as if there were many people walking at the sa ti.
The man nad Brother Qiang, who was holding the steel pipe, froze for a mont and spat. He threw the steel pipe away and kicked the youth again.
“Bastard, consider yourself lucky.”
“Brothers, let’s go.”
Shi ngwan kept stomping her feet and kept hitting the trash can with stones.
The sound beca louder and louder. The group of people quickly dispersed. She didn’t rush forward. Instead, she waited until the footsteps were completely gone and no one else appeared.
Wanting to see if everyone had really left, only then did she carefully stick her head out.
However, she t with that youth’s extrely malicious eyes. That wolf-like gaze stared fixedly at her in the darkness.
Shi ngwan jumped in fright and took a big step back. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The bag she was holding just now fell to the ground. The bread inside also fell out. She didn’t dare to pick it up. She simply propped her hands on the ground and stared at the youth in a daze.
He looked very disheveled, extrely disheveled. Saying his nose was bruised and his face was swollen were understatents.
His body was covered in blood, and his hands were also covered in blood. Even his clothes were covered in blood. The blood dripping from the corner of his mouth looked especially terrifying during such a night.
Shi ngwan had saved him on a spur of the mont, but now that she had saved him, she started to feel conflicted again.
It couldn’t be that the person she had saved was a bad person, right? Or could it be —
The youth didn’t look at her. He bent down and picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground.
Shi ngwan was getting more and more nervous. The young man tore the plastic paper off the bread and finished it in a few bites.
What kind of situation was this?
Shi ngwan looked at the young man and swallowed her saliva. She wanted to say that he had eaten her bread. However, the young man also saw the bottle of water in the bag.
He glanced at her and took the bottle of water. Then, he drank the remaining half of the bottle of water.
He threw the bottle on the ground. The youth glanced at Shi ngwan and turned to leave.
Shi ngwan called out to him, “Hey.”
The youth turned around and looked at Shi ngwan again. Shi ngwan’s lips moved. She wanted to say, “You ate my food and you’re just going to leave like that?”
The words that ca out of her mouth beca, “You threw the trash on the ground. That isn’t right.”
A trace of mockery flashed across the youth’s face, which was filled with viciousness. He took two steps forward and stood in front of Shi ngwan just like that.
She was still sitting on the ground while the youth stood there. The youth was nearly 1.7 ters tall. Shi ngwan shrunk her neck, and for the first ti, she felt fear.
The youth stared at her face. Just when she thought that the other party would attack her, he finally made a move.
He bent down, and Shi ngwan was alard. She instinctively used her hand to cover her head.
The youth picked up the plastic bag and bottles on the ground. Then, he wrinkled them into a ball and accurately threw them into the trash can at the side.
After throwing them, he glanced at Shi ngwan, turned around, and continued walking forward.
Shi ngwan stood up and followed behind him. After taking a few steps, the youth suddenly turned around to look at her.
That pair of wolf-like eyes stared at her face with a fierce gaze.
