Zhuang Li watched Shao Hui's back gradually disappear at the exit of the parking lot before getting into the car.
He Ming helped him fasten his seat belt, rubbed his head, and asked, "Do you need a hug?"
Zhuang Li didn't need any comfort, but he still held out his arms and whispered in a feigned vulnerability, "Give me a hug."
He Ming immediately hugged him in his arms, patted his back gently, and promised: "I will never hurt you. You are safest by my side."
"I know." Not a single word of this sentence was false, and Zhuang Li knew it better than anyone else.
The two kissed each other, then smiled at each other, and all the gloom disappeared.
Shao Yan, who was sitting in the back row, felt comforted when she saw the two people hugging each other. She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked worriedly, "Where can Huihui go?"
He Ming started the engine and said in a cold tone: "Go to Jinxiu Mansion, go to Xiao Yiheng, go to the Wang family, she has many places to go."
Shao Yan was speechless. She sensed that her son-in-law was already dissatisfied with her. Seriously speaking, she was indeed partial, but she favored her daughter at the expense of her son. For so many years, she had always taught her son to be tolerant and take care of his sister, which was why Shao Hui developed such a selfish character.
The selfless family atmosphere gave Shao Hui the illusion that the whole world should revolve around her. If others treat her well, that is what they should do. If others cannot satisfy her selfish desires, that is unforgivable.
There's a reason why she's the way she is now.
"It's mom's fault for not teaching your sister well. Mom is also wrong." Shao Yan covered her face and cried softly.
Zhuang Li handed her a pack of tissues but offered no words of comfort. If the original owner's soul were still there, he would cry even more bitterly. He needed comfort far more than Shao Yan.
Zhuang Li replaced him, but that didn't mean all the hurt was wiped out.
Shao Yan stared at the back of her son's head, which was almost indifferent, and thought about what her daughter had done to her son. Then she gradually realized that she had once again ignored her son's feelings. She cried for herself first, and then she was concerned about Shao Hui's whereabouts, but she didn't even ask about her son's mood.
Shao Yan stopped crying, and a deep sense of guilt spread in her heart.
---
At the same time, Shao Hui did not return to Jinxiu Huating, but found a shabby little hotel in the urban village where she could stay without registering her ID card.
She was worried that Jin Erxian would turn himself in to the police station if he couldn't get the five million, so she didn't dare to appear in any of the properties under her name.
The hotel room was very narrow and smelled musty. The sheets were yellow, as if they hadn't been washed in a long time. There was a dead cockroach lying in the corner, and occasionally the sound of mice squeaking could be heard from the wall.
Shao Hui sat stiffly in the chair, her eyes wide open, looking around vigilantly.
There were ambiguous moans coming from next door, the residents upstairs were stomping on the floor, and there were drunks making a noise in the corridor outside. All the chaotic sounds came together and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She hugged herself and began to cry loudly.
Zhuang Li would retaliate harshly against her, the company's debts were waiting to be repaid, the assets pledged to the bank could be confiscated at any time, and there was also Wang Dan, who was eyeing her covetously. Shao Hui looked around, left and right, but found that she could not find a way out.
So what if she had the spiritual spring? Drinking it would only make her live longer in this life-or-death environment.
When she was crying and almost collapsed, her cell phone rang. It was Xiao Yiheng calling.
Shao Hui hurriedly answered the call, crying out the other party's name. She desperately needed to talk to someone at that moment.
"Huihui, where are you? I borrowed some money from a friend. Do you need it? Do you need me to send it to you? Jin Erxian is on the police's wanted list. If he is caught, we may both be implicated. I'm planning to run away. Will you come with me?" Xiao Yiheng, who had hated Shao Hui to the core before, now spoke caring words.
Shao Hui didn't think much about it and shouted anxiously as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, yes, I will go with you, come and pick me up!"
She quickly gave out a string of addresses.
Xiao Yiheng arrived soon and brought a big bag of midnight snacks.
After entering the room, he locked the door and chained it, then opened the backpack and let Shao Hui see the bundles of cash inside. Such a large bag must have at least millions of dollars.
Shao Hui breathed a sigh of relief. She, who once bought houses worth tens of millions without blinking an eye, could now feel at ease with just this little money.
"Let's eat something, then we'll hit the road." Xiao Yiheng opened the food bag and took out Coke, French fries, hamburgers, and chicken wings.
Shao Hui, starving for most of the day, wolfed down her food, not worried about gaining weight at all. She would have fewer opportunities to sit down and enjoy a good meal while wandering the world. As long as she could escape to another country, she could still live well thanks to the spiritual spring in her palm.
Maybe you will meet some noble person and accumulate a lot of capital in a short period of time.
Lingquan is her only hope.
Xiao Yiheng ate French fries one by one, and when he saw Shao Hui gulping down a bottle of Coke, he suddenly asked, "Huihui, what's the formula for Magnolia?"
"Huh?" Shao Hui's brain stopped working, and the strong feeling of dizziness forced her to hold on to the edge of the bed.
Xiao Yiheng took out his cell phone and made a call. After the other end picked up, he asked again, "Huihui, what is the formula for Magnolia?"
The phone was connected, but the person on the other end didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Shao Hui knew that the spiritual spring was the foundation of her life, but she couldn't control her tongue. She spread out her palm, letting the spring water gush out, and said in a trance, "This is it, the spring water in my palm."
As soon as she said this, she knew she was finished! There was no doubt that the Coke she had just drunk was drugged! Xiao Yiheng was not here to save her, but to plot against her!
She quickly lowered her head to lick the spiritual spring in her palm, trying to relieve the effects of the medicine, but Xiao Yiheng restrained her head, tied her to a chair, and then pulled away the hand from which the spiritual spring came out, looking at it in disbelief.
"Why is there water coming out of your palm? Is this a magic trick?"
Shao Hui, drugged, could only answer truthfully. She began to recount her experiences in her previous life and the origins of the spiritual spring.
Xiao Yiheng's eyes widened, and heavy breathing came from the phone he placed on the table.
Many people have witnessed the effectiveness of Shao Hui's skincare products, and her customers, who pay high prices for her fruits every day, are also aware of how delicious they are.
So, her words are very credible.
Xiao Yiheng quickly rinsed the Coke bottle and used it to collect the spiritual spring in Shao Hui's palm.
"Will there be any side effects from drinking it?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"It will hurt so much that every cell in your body will be torn apart, but after the pain is over, you will be reborn." Shao Hui's brain spoke freely under the control of drugs.
Xiao Yiheng quickly hid the Coke bottle in his backpack, and then held Shao Hui's palm, which could no longer drip a drop of spiritual spring water, and looked at it.
"Why is the spring water gone?" he asked anxiously.
"There's only one small bottle a day. It's not an unlimited supply." Shao Hui shook her head violently, trying to shut herself up, but still revealed all the secrets.
Xiao Yiheng stared at Shao Hui's hand, with a fierce light flashing in his pupils.
"How can we get the jade pendant out?" he asked in a cruel tone.
Shao Hui's body was shaking with fear, but she answered honestly, "I don't know how to take it out. It has already merged into my palm. I guess I have to wait until I die."
As soon as these words came out, her mind exploded. She knew she had stepped into a dead end!
"No, no, Xiao Yiheng, please don't do this to me!" Shao Hui begged while crying. Now she was more pitiful than a stray dog on the roadside.
Xiao Yiheng sat in the chair for a long time without moving. The light shone on him, but could not reach his dark pupils.
It was only then that Wang Dan's calm voice came through the connected phone: "Xiao Yiheng, bring Shao Hui over, and I'll give you an extra 100 million!"
The power of money woke Xiao Yiheng up from his daze.
"Two hundred million." He said in a hoarse voice.
The spiritual spring that can transform a person is a priceless treasure, and he would feel it was a loss even if he sold it for 200 million.
Wang Dan didn't hesitate: "Deal."
Xiao Yiheng immediately untied Shao Hui, who was tied up, and half-hugged her as they left the hotel. The front desk clerk thought they were a drunk couple and didn't care.
As the car drove towards Wang's residence, Xiao Yiheng's face flickered under the light of the roadside.
Shao Hui's body was still limp, but her mind was gradually coming to. She begged, "Xiao Yiheng, please don't hand me over to Wang Dan. She's too cruel and will definitely chop me into pieces. I've helped you a lot over the years. Please let me go because I've never hurt anyone else but you."
"Yes, you didn't harm me! If it weren't for your deliberate planning, I could have married Zhuang Li in this life, run a company together, and enjoy the joy of entrepreneurial success together. I wouldn't go bankrupt, and I wouldn't be like a stray dog, being chased around. You didn't harm me, you helped me a lot!" Xiao Yiheng said gritting his teeth.
Shao Hui was speechless after being confronted by him. She had already forgotten how happy Xiao Yiheng was in her previous life.
She always thought that she was the only one who could give him a better life. But she was wrong. Her rebirth ruined the fate of everyone, including herself!
But she could have changed all of this! She could have lived a better life than her previous one, as long as she was content, honest, and did nothing. With Zhuang Li's care, she could have lived a rich and stable life.
There would be tens of millions of properties, hundreds of thousands of bags, and millions of luxury cars. As long as she asked, Zhuang Li, who had never broken up with her, would generously give them to her, because he had been well educated by his mother since he was a child and knew how to be humble and take care of his sister.
He always responds to his sister's requests.
Shao Hui burst into tears as she thought about it. When she was forced into a desperate situation, she finally saw clearly that all the misfortunes were caused by herself and she couldn't blame anyone else!
But she soon stopped crying because she found that the road outside did not lead to the Wang family, but to a reservoir in the suburbs. It was said that the reservoir was a popular suicide spot, and many bodies were fished out every year.
Shao Hui never hesitated to think the worst of others, so she immediately guessed what Xiao Yiheng was thinking.
This man wanted to kill her and get the jade pendant! When it comes to cruelty, even Zhuang Li is not as cruel as him!
Shao Hui screamed, "Where are you taking me? Stop!"
Not only did Xiao Yiheng not listen, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
Shao Hui gradually regained her strength, but she still pretended to be unable to struggle, begging Xiao Yiheng desperately, then suddenly opened the car door and jumped out regardless of anything.
She chose the perfect time to do this.
At this time, Xiao Yiheng's car was driving on a bridge, with a rushing river under the bridge.
Shao Hui's body had been transformed by the spiritual spring, and the effects of the medicine had been quickly eliminated. Her ability to withstand impact was also much stronger than that of an ordinary person. She rolled several times on the road, then, despite the excruciating pain, she struggled to her feet and leaped into the surging river.
The river quickly swallowed her and carried her to an unknown distance.
When her mouth and nose were submerged in water, Shao Hui did not struggle, but laughed heartily. Although her life had become a joke, she would never leave any benefits to others.
When it comes to selfishness, she is always unique.
