After leaving the cafe, she didn't get into the car waiting for her on the side of the road, but went in the opposite direction.

Her mind went blank for the time being, and she really had no way to return to Qin Muchu's side.

She didn't know how to face him.

She didn't believe what Michelle just said, but she didn't have the courage to ask Qin Muchu if all this was true.

If Qin Muchu was really Brother Tian back then, and he came here for revenge, then what is she?

What is this marriage between them?

The truth was too cruel for her.

She didn't have the courage to face it at all.

At this time, the sky began to rain again.

The rain fell on her head, wet her hair and coat.

However, she didn't realize it.

Before today, she still felt that she was the happiest person in the world, and with Qin Muchu as her support, she didn't have to worry about anything.

but now……

Tears mixed with rainwater slid down her cheeks and flowed into her mouth. The salty and mild taste spread in her mouth, but she only felt bitter.

Just as she was walking aimlessly in the rain, suddenly, a few black punks jumped out from the side alley.

Seeing Lingxi walking alone in the rain, they immediately swarmed up and surrounded her.

"Hey, take all the money you have on you."

Lingxi glanced at them blankly, didn't intend to talk to them at all, lowered his head, and continued to walk forward.

However, after only one step, a big black palm blocked her chest and pushed heavily on her shoulder. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell down.

"Take out all your money." The black man continued to repeat what he had just said.

Lingxi didn't respond as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that she was not cooperating at all, the little gangster decided to do it himself and take off her clothes.

Only then did Lingxi realize what had happened to her, and she screamed uncontrollably.

Her voice sounded extremely shrill on the rainy night streets of Los Angeles.

But with just this voice, how could it scare the group of punks around her?

Their hands reached out to Lingxi, pulling at her coat.

This scene completely stimulated Consonance.

A certain scene deep in her memory was easily awakened, and she trembled with fright, screaming, trying to break free from them.

"Don't touch me...let me go...let me go..." Tears mixed with her hoarse voice, drowning in the pattering rain.

Just when she was so desperate that she almost fainted, suddenly, at the end of the street corner, an orange light shone here.

Those were headlights, bright enough to light up her dark world at the moment.

The car door opened, and a slender figure stepped out of the car. His shiny leather shoes stepped on the surface of the stagnant water, and the splash of water was clear and transparent.

"Let go of her." The man walked up to her and said in a deep voice.

Hearing the voice, Lingxi's expression instantly became shocked.

But the gangsters didn't seem to be afraid of the man in front of them. They were so numerous, and they were thinking of robbing the man along the way.

"Hey, kid, hand over the money obediently." One of the gangsters who was not afraid of death took a step forward, walked up to the man, reached out his hand, and wanted to touch his pocket.

However, the next second, he saw the little bastard kneeling on the ground, wailing from his mouth.

Seeing this, the leader of the black man knew that the other party had some skills, so he winked at his accomplice, and a group of people swarmed forward together.

There was only a "crack" gunshot, and everyone stopped in an instant, not daring to move.

The man pushed away the gangsters in front of him, walked straight to Lingxi, bent down and squatted down, took off his coat, put it on her body, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, I'm late .”

After being greatly frightened, Lingxi saw his family members again, and suddenly lost control of his emotions, he threw himself into his arms and burst into tears.

"Okay, it's okay, it's all over." Zhao Zhuoqin hugged her horizontally, comforting her with a gentle voice.

Lingxi, on the other hand, seemed to have collapsed, and passed out heavily.

************************************************** ***************

Waking up again, she found herself lying on a soft bed.

Raising his eyes, he saw Zhao Zhuoqin's tall and straight figure.

At this moment, he was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows standing beside him, holding a book in his hand, and reading it.

Supporting the bed with her hands, she tried her best to sit up from the bed. She felt that her headache was splitting, and she had no strength in her whole body.

Hearing the noise behind him, Zhao Zhuoqin turned his head, put the book in his hand on the desk beside him, and walked towards her: "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

"My head hurts, my whole body hurts..." she said with a frown.

"That's it..." Zhao Zhuoqin walked to the bed, bent down, leaned close to her, suddenly took her head with both hands, and leaned her head closer to hers.

Startled by his action, she was just about to struggle when his forehead was already pressed against hers, and the cool touch immediately made her feel very comfortable.

"I have a fever. It seems that I caught a cold in the rain last night." Zhao Zhuoqin said, straightened up, then turned and walked to the door: "Lie down and rest for a while, I'll buy some medicine for you."

"No need..." Lingxi wanted to stop him, at this moment, she didn't want to be alone.

However, Zhao Zhuoqin had disappeared into the room, only the faint smell of coffee lingered for a long time.

Although physically uncomfortable, Lingxi still managed to stand up from the bed.

Looking around the room, this is a typical European-style decorated room.

White carved fireplace, floor-to-ceiling lattice windows, dark green curtains, retro round table and large carved bed.

Outside the window, there is a large grassland, and there is a lake at the end of the grassland.

The surrounding environment is excellent.

Zhao Zhuoqin has known how to enjoy life since he was a child, and has a unique taste. It seems that in the past few years in the United States, his life has been very nourishing.

On the table, the book he had read before was laid open, and Lingxi saw that it was an English novel.

The book stem reads A Tale of Two Cities by the British author Charles Dickens.

This novel Consonance is impressive. At that time, she was about 12 years old, and her father bought her a lot of world famous books. Since this book was the thinnest, she often read it with both hands.

But at that time, she was still too young to understand the novel, so until now, her impression has been blurred.

The only thing I remember about this novel is that Zhao Zhuoqin sneaked into her room once, took the book away secretly, tore off the pages and folded them into paper airplanes.

For this reason, she sued her father, expecting him to beat him up severely.

However, the result disappointed her. Because of the protection of her stepmother, Zhao Zhuoqin was not punished at all, but became even more arrogant.

For this reason, she was depressed all the time, went on a hunger strike at home, and almost starved herself to death.
