A Broken Love in a Wealthy Family

  Those aggressive eyes made Lin Meng's face turn pale in an instant. The man's face had a somewhat familiar expression, which made her skin crawl and feel nauseous to the point of wanting to vomit.

  She shook her head desperately and hid her body behind.

  The man apparently took Lin Meng as a secret prostitute who solicits customers on the highway for long-distance transportation, and he had experienced such things before. What puzzled him was that this little girl was so beautiful that she didn't look like it at all, and she looked tender enough to be able to take care of herself, how could she end up in a place like this to solicit business? To say, most of the people who solicited business on this road were old women who had lost their beauty and couldn't get any business in the city.

  The girl in front of me, with her fair and tender skin, is truly a beauty. The fatigue of the truck driver on the road was greatly alleviated from the moment he saw this face, and his entire spirit was also lifted. Even Lin Meng's dull-looking eyes seemed to be shining.

  "How much is it going to cost? Miss, give me a quote. If it's slightly higher, I can also accept it!" Who made this little girl in front of me so stunningly beautiful?!

  Lin Meng was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs weakened and trembled as she backed away. She looked at the greasy truck driver as if he were a convicted felon who had just escaped from prison.

  "Go... go away..."

  Her voice trembled, but it was tinged with a hint of despairing shrillness!

  The truck driver furrowed his brow, and his large hand moved slightly as if he was about to open the door and get out to pull her over!

  "Don't come over—"

  Lin Meng let out a mournful and shrill cry, hastily retreating, without noticing the ground beneath her feet. As soon as she took another step, her foot fell empty, and she let out a low cry before tumbling down. This highway was mostly built on farmland and wilderness, piled high above, like an angry dragon crossing the fields. Behind Lin Meng's feet was a large earthen slope, below which was a small ditch, with weeds growing wildly beside it. Without noticing, her foot slipped, and she fell into the small ditch, making a "splash" sound.

  The truck driver scratched his unwashed hair for a long time and asked in a rough voice, "Are you okay?"

  Lin Meng fell to the ground with a thud, her teeth clenched and her mouth twisted. As soon as she heard this, she forgot about the pain on her body and immediately let out a loud shout: "Don't come any closer——"

  "Haha, Old Zhu, I think we should leave. Look at your fat body, even the missus would be embarrassed by you, she'd rather jump into a pit than be with you!" said another man sitting in the passenger seat of the truck.

  The truck driver muttered somewhat embarrassedly: "Isn't it all selling? Who to sell to isn't selling, why so particular!"

  The truck driver still drove away with a sense of self-awareness.

  This intentional or unintentional ridicule suddenly widened Lin Meng's pupils: the extremely humiliating word "sell" almost instantly tore apart the protective membrane she had disguised herself with. Ah, yes, that's exactly what she was doing - selling herself - so she didn't have any dignity, no personality, and no temperament. She trembled with fear as she served, carefully trying to please others, and when she was no longer needed, she could be kicked out without any value at all.

  She gave up struggling, gave up climbing upwards. She opened her eyes and gazed at the dark sky, finally letting scalding tears roll out of her eye sockets, mingling with the rainwater to wet her face. The raindrops were large, stinging her skin as they hit her face. With a stubborn gaze, she stared at this unyielding expanse of sky, allowing the raindrops to pound against her eyes again and again, and then letting tears flow even more profusely in the midst of the stinging pain, like the rain pouring down.

  She was almost masochistically enjoying this torment, her mouth slightly curled up in the rain. She was clearly crying, yet she was smiling with a twisted mouth. In such a desolate wilderness, by the side of the cement road, in a small ditch, who would care whether she was crying or laughing?! She was originally superfluous, neither her father nor mother loved her, even if she were stuck here for a night, no one would miss her for half a moment!

  "Hehe..."

  She laughed hoarsely, wanting to mock herself, wanting to express her indifference and carefreeness, but in an instant, the laughter turned into sobs, turning into the hard-to-erase wound in her heart. On a heart that was already covered in scars, another sharp knife was added, and amidst the gushing blood, the pain pierced through her heart.

  Breathing seemed to have become more difficult, she panted heavily, covering her chest with her hands, struggling to get out of the small ditch and finding a small mound above, sat down. She curled up, burying her head between her legs, stretching out her hands, and embracing her head. Like a drowned dog, she shrunk into a ball, huddled in this small corner, closing her eyes wearily, not making a sound, suppressing all her sobs and sniffles in her mouth.

  "Everything will pass, everything will be over... When the rain stops, it will be a beautiful day again..."

  She began Ah Q's self-hypnosis again, slowly letting go of the sorrow in her heart...

  The rain, pattering down without a break, the thick rain curtain, made the whole world increasingly dark and gloomy, visibility was probably less than two meters. She didn't know how long it had been, nor did she want to know. At this time, the highway became even quieter, private cars were almost gone, only occasionally could you see a passenger bus or a cargo truck passing by.

  So when those cries echoed through the world, how out of place they were.

  Lin Meng —— Lin Meng ——

  Rong Ling, who didn't get any response, was about to go crazy. In the worst mood, he threw her away and sped off, which was both intentional and careless. Who would have thought that it would start raining halfway, and when he came back to his senses and hurriedly drove back, the road conditions were very bad, causing him to waste a lot of time.

  He remembered he had probably left her at this intersection, so why didn't his calls get any response?!

  "Damn it—"

  He cursed under his breath. The murders, robberies and kidnappings that had always occurred on the highway had never been fewer, yet he had carelessly let her go like this, what a stupid fool he was! How many years had it been since he'd done something so brainless? Why did he have to make such a mistake today with her? Just thinking about the possibility of her encountering some misfortune made him feel suffocated and want to slap himself in the face!

  Lin Meng

  Lin Meng

  His expensive suit, worth tens of thousands, had been thoroughly drenched by the rain and was now hanging limply. His spirited black hair had also fallen flat. His handsome face, after a moment of anxiety, was covered in cold rainwater. At this moment, he looked like a drowned chicken, truly without any dignity to speak of, but damn it, who still cared about that ghostly appearance!

  He just wants to find her as soon as possible!
