As she sat in the car and looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, Gu Anran began to recall long-forgotten memories…
Five years ago, when her mother passed away, she was kidnapped onto a boat without any warning. The kidnappers wanted to kill her and dispose of her body. Helpless, she jumped into the sea and was later rescued by a fisherman, thus saving her life. When she was taken to the hospital, she discovered that she was pregnant.
At that time, she did not have the courage to live, but when she thought that God had not only not ended her life, but also given her a new life, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Anran, Anran!"
"Um?"
The car had already stopped, and Gu Anran instantly snapped back to reality, immediately noticing the concerned looks on her son's and her best friend Yu Huihui's faces.
"Sorry, I was just lost in thought."
"Okay, get out of the car and take a look at your new home!"
The residential complex was built in recent years and consists of high-end villas. It has a strict security system, which Gu Anran is very satisfied with.
Gu Anran carried her luggage, and Yu Huihui led Gu Xiaotian, playfully frolicking all the way to their new home.
"The location is convenient, with supermarkets and hospitals nearby. The only downside is that the house is a bit small, but the great designer shouldn't complain!"
"How could this be!"
As they were talking, Yu Huihui had already opened the door.
The apartment is a simple two-bedroom, one-living room unit, decorated in a warm and elegant style, with light floral wallpaper, a ceiling light emitting a yellow glow, a beige fabric sofa, a photo of Gu Anran and Yu Huihui hanging on the wall, and a recliner on the balcony.
The kitchen was filled with household items that Yu Huihui had purchased, including towels, toothbrushes, pots and pans, and everything else she needed.
Looking at the meticulously decorated room, Gu Anran gave Yu Huihui a big hug.
"Huihui, thank you..."
Why are you being so polite with me?
"So, Xiaotian, do you like your new home with your mom?"
"like!"
Gu Xiaotian changed into slippers and ran into the room, soon letting out excited shouts.
"Mom, come look! There are so many books!"
Gu Anran and Yu Huihui entered the study. The books neatly arranged on the bookshelf were mostly books like "Calculus and Mathematical Analysis Theory," which surprised Gu Anran.
"Did you prepare this too?"
"This was left by the landlord. If Xiaotian can't understand it, just put it away. I bought a lot of fairy tales for Xiaotian to read..."
“Aunt Huihui, I’m not a three-year-old anymore. I stopped reading fairy tales a long time ago. Besides, I can not only understand these books, but I also really like them!” Gu Xiaotian tilted his head, flipping through the books, and said in a serious tone.
Gu Anran and Yu Huihui exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously.
"Aunt Huihui, do you know the landlady? She has such good taste, just likes the same things as Xiaotian."
"The landlady is a very capable and beautiful lady! Xiao Tian is reading here quietly while Auntie and Mom go to cook."
As Yu Huihui spoke, she pulled Gu Anran away. After making sure Gu Xiaotian wouldn't hear, she asked softly.
"Speaking of which, who is this child's biological father?"
Gu Anran glanced at the study and shook her head.
"I don't know, but I'm sure of one thing: it's definitely not that old man, Mr. Xu."
"Sigh... I knew long ago that you, my stepsister, were no good person. You have such a seductive look on your face."
Yu Huihui cursed through gritted teeth, then became somewhat worried.
"But what do you plan to do in the future? If you live here for a long time, you will definitely run into Liu Xinrou, since you are in the same industry."
“Some things have become too convenient for others to use. I’ve come back this time to take back what originally belonged to me, and also to investigate what happened back then,” Gu Anran said with a determined look in her eyes.
"What happened back then? You mean..."
“I’ve always felt that the appearance of those thugs was somehow related to my mother’s death, but I don’t have any evidence, so I’m not sure.”
Yu Huihui looked at Gu Anran with heartache and patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
"Thank you, Hui, you're so kind!"
Gu Anran nestled sweetly into Yu Huihui's arms, only to be pushed away without any mercy by Yu Huihui.
"Alright, here, take this information. Don't disgust me."
Yu Huihui casually tossed a document to Gu Anran.
"What is that?"
"A company is hiring a designer tomorrow, and I've already submitted your resume. You can just go for the interview. Here's the company's information; take a look, it'll help with your interview."
As soon as the topic of work came up, Gu Anran's face immediately turned serious.
"Anran, you must be prepared, because Liu Xinrou... might also be at the interview tomorrow!"
Liu Xinrou!
Gu Anran stopped moving, her smile frozen on her face.
