Chen Jiayi sighed inwardly. After offering incense, she pulled Shen Jialiang and walked in another direction.
She knew that her mother needed time to talk to her grandparents.
Shen Jialiang had met Chen Jiayi's maternal grandparents, and he knew that Chen Jiayi's maternal grandfather was a very outstanding person.
In the end, it all ended up like this...
Shen Jialiang felt extremely sorry.
The two walked and chatted as they went.
Originally, Chen Jiayi just wanted to come out with Shen Jialiang so that her mother could have a heart-to-heart talk with her grandparents.
But the two of them walked quite a distance without realizing it, and they didn't know where they had gone.
Chen Jiayi looked at the few households in the village in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
My maternal grandparents' graves are on the mountain, and these families are situated between the mountains.
Chen Jiayi initially thought no one lived there, but she heard a girl crying.
Chen Jiayi frowned, her mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts.
For example, women are sometimes trafficked here...
However, Chen Jiayi didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
As she turned to leave.
Shen Jialiang paused, looking down with some confusion.
"Jiayi, look down there, isn't that person hitting someone?"
Chen Jiayi turned around and looked over, and found that it was indeed so.
She paused, her desire to leave suddenly becoming conflicted.
Shen Jialiang's voice was gentle, "Shall we go and take a look?"
Chen Jiayi glanced at the road they had come from; they were already quite a distance away from their parents.
What if they go into such a small place and can't get out?
Therefore, Chen Jiayi refused outright.
Shen Jialiang thought about it and realized that safety was indeed a concern.
Shen Jialiang grew up in a good environment, but he witnessed the wickedness of many people.
Therefore, when Chen Jiayi brought it up, Shen Jialiang immediately realized that something was wrong.
In this situation, even if the people inside were tortured to death, they shouldn't care.
Don't put yourself in dangerous situations!
They turned and left, walking for about twenty minutes.
It felt quick going down, but going back was a bit difficult because of the uphill climb.
Whether they had been noticed or not, Chen Jiayi saw someone chasing after them.
She frowned, and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Chen Jiayi immediately decided to leave quickly, so she grabbed Shen Jialiang and ran.
When she lived in Chenjia Village, many families were broke or couldn't afford to eat, and if they needed money, they would sell their daughters.
Or they'd extort money from those idiots who came from outside, making a fortune through extortion and blasting.
Chen Jiayi was worried that they were being watched, so she really took off running.
However, because it was uphill, even though they exercised regularly, running on this kind of road was still quite strenuous for them.
Before long, Chen Jiayi felt tired.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind me!
"Mom! Mom!"
Chen Jiayi thought the other person had called her by the wrong name and didn't react at all the first time.
She didn't turn around, so she didn't know that the person chasing her was actually Dingxiang.
After the other person called her name several times, Chen Jiayi realized that the other person was calling her.
She was immediately puzzled.
She doesn't have any children, so where would a child call her "Mom"?
With a question in mind, Chen Jiayi turned around.
She saw a very familiar face, and Chen Jiayi's pupils suddenly contracted.
This face is what Dingxiang looked like when she was about ten years old!
In her previous life, Chen Jiayi was Dingxiang's mother for her entire life. Chen Jiayi remembered exactly what Dingxiang looked like from childhood to adulthood.
Seeing lilacs now, Chen Jiayi has an indescribable feeling.
This feeling left her feeling stuck, uncomfortable, and unable to articulate it.
When Dingxiang saw that Chen Jiayi had finally stopped, she turned around and glanced at the people still chasing her. Her face was pale, but she managed to run to Chen Jiayi in one breath.
Then, he didn't utter a single word for a long time.
She was so tired that she kept breathing.
The people behind had caught up, and one of the menacing-looking men suddenly shouted.
"Dingxiang, you shameless slut, why are you running?"
Dingxiang was pale. After taking a few deep breaths, she was able to speak, but her breathing was still erratic.
She reached out, just like when she used to grab Chen Jiayi's clothes when they were children, trying to grab Chen Jiayi.
However, Chen Jiayi dodged without making a sound. She sized up the people chasing after her, calculating in her mind what to do if a conflict broke out.
Shen Jialiang stood silently in front of Chen Jiayi.
I didn't know who that girl was originally.
However, when Shen Jialiang heard the other person call Chen Jiayi "Mom," he immediately knew who it was.
This girl may be the child of Chen Jiayi's ex-husband Ding Haowen and his mistress.
Although he didn't know why Ding Xiang was there, Shen Jialiang had a bad feeling when he saw the several men staring at him.
Dingxiang stretched out her hand, sobbing, "Mom, it's me, Dingxiang! Mom! Don't you recognize me? I'm Dingxiang!"
As if to prove who she was, she rolled up the sleeve of her left hand.
The exposed arm not only had bruises, but also a black mole in the middle of the wrist.
Dingxiang looked at Chen Jiayi with pleading eyes.
"Mom, I know Dad and Mom have wronged you. I've been kidnapped and sold into this place. Please, please save me! I promise to repay you by serving you like a slave!"
The people behind her sneered when they heard Dingxiang's words.
"Dingxiang, what nonsense are you talking about? You're clearly a girl who grew up in our village!"
The two people in front of me looked extraordinary, but at first glance they were just ordinary people.
And they are all so good-looking, how could they possibly have a child like Dingxiang who looks like her?
Although Ding Xiang wasn't ugly, she didn't resemble Chen Jiayi at all. On the contrary, she looked more like Ding Haowen.
In her past life, Chen Jiayi also felt puzzled, thinking that her daughter did not look like her at all.
But people always say that daughters resemble their fathers.
Chen Jiayi felt that Ding Xiang did look like Ding Haowen, although she didn't really care about Ding Xiang's appearance.
It wasn't until later that she discovered the reason Dingxiang didn't resemble her was because she wasn't her child!
Chen Jiayi frowned slightly, finding it very troublesome.
She deliberately lowered her voice, not wanting these people to notice her.
"Hello, I don't know you. We're just here to offer incense."
Upon hearing Chen Jiayi's words, the group of people who had previously exuded a fierce and menacing aura softened considerably.
One of them glanced at Shen Jialiang, then at the woman behind him.
Shen Jialiang was tall and aloof, and these people couldn't figure out his background for a while, so they didn't dare to make any rash moves.
One of the men in the lead glanced at Shen Jialiang and hesitated before speaking.
"Brothers, your accents don't sound like locals!"
If they weren't locals, why would they come to burn incense?
The man was on guard, but Shen Jialiang smiled faintly.
