The Runaway Wife of the Godfather of the Republic of China

Chapter 1
Early summer of 1929.

Shanghai.

On a newly built asphalt road in the French Concession, the paulownia trees on both sides are still green, and the wisteria flowers clinging to the western buildings beside the road have faded. The torrential rain last night caused water to accumulate in the potholes of the street.

The midday sun was not dazzling at all.

Three girls wearing the uniforms of "Kai Tak Girls' High School" walked on the road.

The uniform light blue blouse and black knee-length skirt walked along the long road, filled with laughter and cheerful words like silver bells.

"Qingran, Jingxue, how about going to the 'Big Bright Cinema' to watch a movie on Sunday! This time it's Ruan Lingyu's new movie!" The fat girl on the left squinted her small eyes and looked at the two companions on the right.

"I can't do it, Shushu. Teacher Song asked me to prepare a speech for the graduation ceremony. The draft is no less than [-] words. It is estimated that these two Sundays will be wasted! You and Jingxue go together!" The voice of the braided woman is like a silver bell, and her face is as beautiful as a summer breeze.

"I knew you weren't free!" The fat girl Zhong Shushu curled her lips, "The great talent and beauty of our girls' school, Ye Qingran! Remember, this is the fifth time you have rejected me, and one day, I want you to make it up! "

"Definitely, definitely." Ye Qingran's clear eyes smiled slightly.

She, Zhong Shushu and Jiang Jingxue are good friends who have been in the girls' high school for three years.The three of us eat and live together at school, go home together after school on Saturdays, go shopping together, and watch movies together in our spare time.

"Jingxue, are you free?" Zhong Shushu asked the tall, thin and fair woman beside her.

"I'm sorry, Shushu." Jiang Jingxue lowered her eyes, wrapped her slender fingers around her shoulder-length braids, and said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "This week the match factory has to rush a batch of goods, and I want to help my mother with work."

"—You are all busy people, but I am the one who is the most carefree and enjoys life! Come on, I will go and see for myself." Zhong Shushu pouted, showing a displeased look.

"After the graduation ceremony, I invite you to watch a movie and eat western food, and I will make amends to Miss Shushu." Ye Qingran smiled slightly, and patted Zhong Shushu on the shoulder.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you have to prepare for the exam and deal with that Young Master Su, so you don't have time to talk to me! Why don't you just treat me to ice cream now! There's a cold drink shop opened by a Frenchman in front of you, go and have a look!" Zhong Shushu flung her schoolbag and ran.

Zhong Shushu's fat body is like a rapidly rolling ball, going straight forward.

A black car suddenly drove towards her from the front.

"Shushu—" Ye Qingran and Jiang Jingxue shouted at the same time, unexpectedly forgetting the next move.Ye Qingran stared wide-eyed and forgot to breathe for a moment.Jiang Jingxue covered her eyes in pain.

"Gah-"

"what--"

A sharp screeching brake and Zhong Shushu's hoarse shout sounded in the clean air in the early summer after the rain.

Ye Qingran's heart was already in her throat, and she ran over quickly, only to see Zhong Shushu slumped on the ground, her face full of pain, the hem of her dark blue school skirt was torn, and there was blood on her knees.

"Shushu." She threw down her schoolbag, hugged Zhong Shushu's body, took out a white handkerchief from her pocket, and gently applied it to the wound on her knee.

Jiang Jingxue also hurried over and took out a handkerchief to fix Shushu's wound.

"It's just scratched the skin—it shouldn't hurt the bones." Zhong Shushu's face was pale, and her heart was still tense.

"Are you okay? If it's okay, can we go?" A lazy man's voice came from the driver's seat of the car.
