"Brother Zhou, look at how ugly she is! Her face is covered in twisted scars. It's so ugly!"
"It's all her fault. She's so ugly that it hurts our baby Xuan's eyes. The baby is good, but she's bad. Let's throw her in and burn her, so that she won't have any more nightmares."
"Hmph, she got it for free. I haven't had enough fun yet."
"Chen Nian'an! I've hated you since I was a kid. You act like a high-and-mighty princess, giving me luxury goods like alms. Go to hell! Your charming face will soon turn black. But since I've already scratched it, there's no need to be afraid."
The sharp laughter of "good friend" Liu Xuanxuan and the soft echoing voice of "childhood sweetheart" Zhou Yan, like the poison of a snake's tongue, echoed outside the crackling wooden house and gradually faded away.
The fire rolled over like a wave along the gasoline on the ground, the beam collapsed and fell at the feet, and the red-hot charcoal splashed everywhere.
It hurts, it hurts so much...
Chen Nian'an dragged his bound and imprisoned body backwards weakly.
Her face was cut by the scissors, and the scar that ran from her eyebrows to her jaw was filled with pain. She kept dodging backwards.
But where can I hide?
It hurts, it hurts so much.
My face hurts, my hands hurt, my body hurts, and I feel the excruciating pain of being betrayed by friends and family.
It hurts so much that I can't tell where it hurts the most.
The smell of burnt flesh came from my hands, and sparks sizzled.
She closed her eyes and stopped struggling.
“Chen Nian’an!!”
A familiar low roar came from the flames. She opened her eyes and looked at the man who rushed into the sea of fire alone in disbelief.
The man hugged her tightly and held her up. His broad shoulders blocked the scattered flames, buying a few seconds of relief. However, it was in vain for the wooden house that was already completely ablaze with several large barrels of gasoline poured on it.
Soon, the raging fire wave was unstoppable and swept the two men to the ground.
The man also realized that he couldn't get out.
The firelight illuminated the two men's eyes and brows. Chen Nian'an subconsciously wanted to turn his face away, not wanting him to see his hideous scars.
Her face was gently held up, and in the man's eyes was a tenderness and pain that she had never seen before.
"What are you doing here? Gu Boyan?" Chen Nian'an murmured.
"I'm the worst to you and I hate you the most"
"sorry"
Gu Boyan lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, which were dirty and blood-coagulated, and repeated it.
"It's my fault for not protecting you, Nian'an."
Yan Ju thought deeply that she should have lived a peaceful life, but it was he who failed to protect her.
The raging flames mixed with the smell of gasoline spread wildly, climbing up the expensive suit and her blood-stained white dress.
…
"call--"
Chen Nian'an suddenly opened her eyes, her eyebrows twisted into a ball, she grabbed the collar of her soft silk pajamas, and gasped heavily.
The pain and suffocation brought by the billowing smoke and flames were still there, making her face pale and bloodless.
She lowered her eyes to look at the familiar and exquisite large room and the high-end silk pajamas she was wearing, her face full of surprise.
Isn't she dead?
Why did you return to the Gu family villa?
When Gu Boyan had an urgent business trip, she pretended to be sick and insisted on going to the hospital. With the help of Liu Xuanxuan and Zhou Yan, she evaded surveillance and fled to northern Myanmar to find her father.
As soon as he left the country and arrived in northern Myanmar, he was knocked unconscious with a stick, tied up and stuffed into a car, and taken to an uninhabited area.
She was awakened by the pain, and when she woke up she saw the two people who had been the best to her since the family went bankrupt overnight, holding hands and smiling, and slashing her face with scissors.
He rowed and cursed, with a ferocious face.
Only then did she understand that she had casually given Liu Xuanxuan, the son of a servant, luxury bags, diamonds, necklaces, and watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars so that she could share respect and glory with her.
To Liu Xuanxuan, it was nothing more than charity from a superior and a humiliation.
She even drove away her true friend, Mu Xin, because of this.
It's ridiculous, really ridiculous, and Zhou Yan is even more ridiculous.
When the Zhou family heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhong family was willful and didn't like to study and was looking for a study partner, they hurriedly sent their only son Zhou Yan to the study partner.
That is the Zhong family, a century-old family. In City A, it is a business giant with power as great as a mountain. Its status is like a towering mountain rising into the sky. Together with the Gu family, they monopolize the financial wealth of City A.
In just a few years, the small Zhou family took advantage of the situation and jumped several classes in the capital.
The three of them studied together and had a very good relationship. Zhou Yan was good at manipulating people and had saved her when she was young. Faced with his fierce pursuit, even the spoiled eldest daughter Chen Nian'an showed some girlish warmth.
But I haven't had the chance to agree yet.
At the coming-of-age banquet, she wore a luxurious princess dress tailored for her by a famous foreign designer, but received bad news.
The Zhong family changed drastically and went bankrupt overnight.
In the blink of an eye, her mother died in a car accident, her father disappeared, her grandfather was seriously ill and bedridden, and only the innocent girl was left.
On his deathbed, my grandfather forced it on Gu Boyan, the eldest son of the Gu family.
She thought that Gu Boyan must have been promised some great benefit by her grandfather, or that she had caught hold of his great advantage, so she agreed to take on this hot potato of hers.
But after two years of marriage, they had spoken very few words to each other, lived in separate rooms, and he treated her coldly.
He never touched her, but he was unwilling to let her go and imprisoned her in a golden cage.
She always thought that Gu Boyan hated her and despised her, and was torturing her.
But it seems not...
In the sea of fire, he was the only one who came to find her from beginning to end.
"Dong Dong Dong"
There was a sudden knock on the golden door frame.
"Madam, the gentleman will be back soon. Do you want to go downstairs to eat first?"
Chen Nian'an collected his thoughts and calmed himself down.
"Come on, you go down first"
Only after the nanny Mrs. Luo left the door did she lift the quilt and pick up her cell phone to take a look.
