The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: 165 incident, the arrogant Xu Nanjing (second update)_2

Yang Lin suddenly laughed, she spoke with a hoarse voice, “Don’t go looking for Teacher Lu, I still have two thousand in my card, I’ll withdraw it for you.”

“Hurry up and go!” Yang Jianping slammed the beer can onto her head, looking at her emotionless face, the excitement in his eyes, fueled by alcohol, began to spread, “You’re a monster too!”

Not even capable of crying.

Yang Lin lowered her head, gazing at the lily crushed under Yang Jianping’s foot. It was her lily, she thought, Auntie Zhang always saved the best for her, and now it was being trampled underfoot.

With her head covered in fresh blood, she slowly opened the door and went out.

Across the way, the old lady cracked her door open to watch her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn’t.

Yang Lin took back her gaze, knowing what the old lady wanted to say, “Everything will be better when you grow up.”

That’s what everyone kept telling her. When she was nine, that’s what the police told her.

But how old did one have to be to be considered grown up?

She made her way slowly down the stairs; she was now 19 years old. She had been looking forward to growing up since she was five. Was 19 grown up enough?

But why couldn’t she see the end of the road?

She had walked so far, endured so much suffering, never been afraid, she was only afraid she wouldn’t reach the end of this road.

People on the street stared at her strangely, some even asked if she needed to call the police, if she needed to go to the hospital, but Yang Lin ignored them all.

Her bangs were matted with blood and stuck to her forehead, and with the blood loss, her vision was beginning to blur.

Yang Lin reached the street corner, mechanically withdrew the money – all savings from her part-time jobs for her college education. She bought a bottle of liquor and then went to a pharmacy to purchase some sleeping pills. The clerk looked at her head, wanting to say something, but Yang Lin walked away. Once outside, she calmly opened the bottle and stuffed the pills into it.

Finally, she came to a convenience store and bought a knife.

With the knife in hand and clutching the bottle of liquor, she walked step by step toward the Tube Building.

Inside Ji Heng’s courtyard.

Ji Shaojun had to leave for Beicheng earlier today, and Ji Heng, taking advantage of Bai Lian’s school hours, sent her a message.

The butler was telling Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing what to watch out for.

Ji Shaojun was somewhat startled, “But my students…”

“At a time like this, you shouldn’t be worrying about that, I will take care of it for you,” Xiao Jie interjected with implied meaning.

The butler bowed his head, slowly and methodically sipping his tea. This tea…

He paused for a moment; this tea should be the same as he remembered, served by the old master of the Mu Family in its heyday to him as a reward. The butler clearly remembered this familiar taste.

“Where did this tea come from?” he suddenly looked up.

Shen Qing glanced over, “It should be from Xiao Jiang.”

“Xiao Jiang?” It was the butler’s first time hearing this name, “Who is he?”

“It’s Alian’s…” Shen Qing hesitated briefly. What exactly was Jiang Fulai’s relation to them?

Beside him, Ji Heng blew out a ring of smoke, his demeanor very detached, “Alian’s friend.”

Alian must be Bai Lian, the butler thought in surprise. Bai Lian had friends like that? He looked down at his cup of tea… or perhaps there was something wrong with his taste.

At 6:30.

Xiao Jie spoke up, “We should be leaving. If we’re any later, we won’t make the flight tomorrow.”

The street was not crowded with cars, but there were quite a few people out for an evening walk; those who saw Bai Lian smiled and greeted her. She had only been on Purest Street for half a year, yet she was known by more people than Ji Heng. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
