CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 303: WHY... SET UP BY SOMEONE!

Xiahou Xiu Yun is very good at comforting people; with a few words, it seems she can move past the topic.

But Ran Xiangsi listened, and her face became even paler.

Was it Xing Chen who brought her back...

Then, when did he find her?

At that time, when she was unconscious, Gu Beichuan was just suppressing her.

Afterward, did anything happen?

Ran Xiangsi herself did not know.

Her whole body felt numb and sore everywhere, she couldn’t distinguish at all...

Or perhaps, it was because she really cared so much whether Gu Beichuan had violated her, that she was almost too nervous to maintain her original sense.

She felt somewhat scared inside, what if really...

Then... what would she do in the future?

As soon as she thought about being alone with Gu Beichuan in the same room previously, Ran Xiangsi felt incredibly disgusted!

She truly hated herself, truly hated herself for being so weak!

Why... was she manipulated!

Xiahou Xiu Yun noticed Ran Xiangsi was acting oddly, saw her whole body stiffen, and the hand gripping the corner of the blanket tightly, the color between her knuckles turning pale!

"Xiangsi? What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xiahou Xiu Yun asked anxiously, leaning closer to hold Ran Xiangsi’s hand, wanting to verify if she really was okay.

At this moment, Ran Xiangsi came back to her senses, her eyes stared blankly for a moment, then cleared, she shook her head and said, "Mom, I’m fine..."

"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell Mom, okay? Chen’er has told me everything about you. From now on, just treat me as your own mom! I always wanted a daughter in this life but never got one... It’s rare for us to hit it off so well, from now on, we’re family, don’t be distant with Mom!" Xiahou Xiu Yun leaned in to hug Ran Xiangsi, patting her back affectionately.

Since Chen’er likes her so much, naturally he has his reasons.

Xiahou Xiu Yun herself found Xiangsi very agreeable, especially considering what happened tonight, it truly scared this child.

Ran Xiangsi, growing up till now, had not enjoyed such a motherly embrace since she was held by her mom before she turned four...

In an instant, tears welled up.

People are most easily moved when they are at their most vulnerable.

Ran Xiangsi closed her eyes, bright teardrops slid from the corners.

Would her mom in Heaven also embrace her like this?

Xiahou Xiu Yun held Ran Xiangsi for a while, then worried she might be hungry, quickly went to the kitchen to instruct, quickly make some good food.

After Xiahou Xiu Yun left, Ran Xiangsi leaned against the bedhead alone, thinking about everything that happened tonight.

Every scene, starting from the attack in the office with Xing Chen, every detail she remembered, she thought about it all carefully...

Until... as she thought and thought, she suddenly lowered her gaze to look at the clothes she was wearing.

Already changed into clean clothes, but there were still green-blue bruises remaining on her arm.

Her gaze froze for a moment, Ran Xiangsi jumped off the big bed, quickly ran into the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror.

It was truly... unbearable to look at.

Eyecorners, mouth corners, full of bruises.

On her neck, there was also a mark from strangling, strikingly visible.

Seeing herself in such a sorry state, Ran Xiangsi’s heart suddenly wrenched!

These years, she hadn’t lived particularly glamorously, but never had she been this wretched!

Despite considering herself a genius in The Matrix, almost able to dominate the battlefield, with a flick of the fingers, casually operating the keyboard, she could utterly defeat her opponents!

But... she never expected in the real world, she would be so vulnerable?
