Chapter 283 How could a person be so evil?! [6]
The phone booth had a transparent glass door. When Shen Wangyue heard what Fang Dashan said, she was initially happy, but soon became wary.
She glanced at Li Chu beside her, then mustered up the courage to say to Fang Dashan, "Call my brother now, I'll only go with you if I hear his voice."
Fang Dashan nodded: "Okay! Let's just do a video call then."
He took out his phone and made a video call to Shen Wangqing.
The call was answered quickly.
Fang Dashan's fawning smile became even more pronounced, and he even hunched his back slightly.
"Mr. Shen! I've met your sister. She's very wary and says she'll only believe me if she speaks with you."
A clear, gentle voice came from the phone: "Give her the phone."
Fang Dashan nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes!"
He immediately turned his phone screen around and pointed it at Shen Wangyue and the others.
Shen Wangyue saw her brother's face on the screen and exclaimed joyfully, "Brother!"
Shen Wangqing's gaze first fell on her younger sister, noticing that her originally long hair had been turned into a short, dog-chewed style.
Her beautiful face was covered in black mud, and she wore tattered clothes.
If he hadn't recognized the voice, he would hardly have recognized him.
His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the girl next to his sister.
The girl also had short, choppy hair, and although her face was a bit dirty, it was much cleaner than her sister's.
His skin was dark, and his face was thin and small, but upon closer inspection, his features were quite delicate.
And those eyes... seemingly calm, but like a seemingly calm sea, a storm is brewing deep within.
The child looks to be twelve or thirteen years old, but has eyes that don't match his age.
In a split second, Shen Wangqing made his assessment in his mind.
Shen Wangqing was looking at Li Chu, and Li Chu was also looking at her.
The man sat in the car, sunlight streaming in through the window and falling on half of his face.
The other half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
He was very handsome, the kind of handsome that was like a jade gentleman, unparalleled in the world.
He may seem like a gentle, warm jade, but Li Chu has an instinctive feeling that he is dangerous...
His eyes seemed to see through everything, easily revealing people's disguises and showing you the real you.
Li Chu wasn't afraid of him; after all, she wasn't going to be his enemy.
Shen Wangqing's gaze returned to Shen Wangyue, and he said to her, "Fang Dashan is trustworthy, you go with him first."
"I'm almost at the airport. You'll see me in three hours at most."
Shen Wangqing's words calmed Shen Wangyue's mind.
She nodded vigorously and replied, "Okay! Brother, I'll wait for you!"
After the video call ended, Shen Wangyue opened the door of the phone booth.
Li Chu and she went outside.
Fang Dashan immediately invited them to get in the car.
"Miss Chen, let me take you to the best hotel in our city first. Let's rest for a bit and wait for Mr. Chen to arrive!"
Shen Wangyue nodded.
Although Shen Wangqing said Fang Dashan was trustworthy, Shen Wangyue, seeing Li Chu who remained silent, also subconsciously kept quiet.
The Emperor Hotel is the best hotel in Langshan City.
Fang Dashan booked a presidential suite and provided Shen Wangyue and Li Chu with clean clothes and shoes before going outside.
Fang Dashan: "Miss Shen, this spare phone is for you. It doesn't have a password."
"My phone number is in the contacts, as is Mr. Shen's."
"I'm in the room next to yours. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Fang Dashan was very considerate, but given Shen Wangyue's status and position, she had always been treated with great care and attentiveness wherever she went, so she was already used to it.
She took the phone and politely thanked him.
Fang Dashan: "You're welcome! You're welcome!"
He didn't linger and left the room.
Shen Wangyue only relaxed after Fang Dashan left.
After this experience, she developed a sense of aversion and disgust towards men.
She wanted to plop down on the soft sofa, but then thought she was dirty.
Turning to Li Chu, he said, "Chu Chu, let's go take a shower first."
Li Chu nodded.
The presidential suite has two bedrooms and a living room. Li Chu and Shen Wangyue each went to the bathroom in one of the bedrooms to take a shower.
Hot water has a soothing and relaxing effect. After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, you feel much more comfortable all over.
I just felt even weaker and more powerless.
If she hadn't been waiting for Shen Wangqing to arrive, Shen Wangyue would have almost fallen asleep.
Li Chu wasn't sleepy at all; her mind was racing, and her thoughts were racing.
To avoid falling asleep, Shen Wangyue decided to talk to Li Chu.
She first told Li Chu about her own home, and then asked, "Chu Chu, do you know your mother's address?"
Li Chu knew, but she shook her head and said, "I don't know. My mother is crazy and rarely has a lucid moment."
Shen Wangyue was speechless for a moment, overwhelmed with shock and sympathy.
Li Chu glanced at her, then lowered her eyes again.
She began by saying, "My mother was abducted to Shiqiao Village when she was seventeen, the same age as you are now."
“She tried to escape, but after she was caught and brought back, my father broke one of her legs and gouged out one of her eyes.”
“My dad loves to drink, and he beats people when he’s drunk. My mom’s injuries never seem to heal.”
"My dad wanted a son, so he kept getting my mom pregnant."
"But all the babies I gave birth to were daughters."
"The last time, my mother finally gave birth to a son, but she had a difficult labor and couldn't deliver the baby for a long time."
"By the time the baby was born, the son had already suffocated, and my mother also died from massive bleeding."
Li Chu's tone was flat, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Shen Wangyue covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face in shock and heartache.
She thought of herself; if it weren't for Li Chu saving her and taking her away from the mountains.
That's the fate of Li Chu's mother... I suppose that's her fate too.
Shen Wangyue used a lot of strength to keep herself from crying out loud.
She calmed down a bit and remembered what Li Chu had said: her mother had given birth to other daughters.
"Then... what about your mother's other daughters?"
Li Chu calmly replied, "My father wanted a son. He heard that if a baby girl is killed at birth, no girl will dare to be born again."
"So whenever my mother gave birth to a daughter, he would kill her by throwing her to the ground, strangling her, or drowning her in front of her."
Shen Wangyue was completely speechless.
She simply couldn't imagine it...
How can a person be so evil?!
Although pregnancy and childbirth were forced, the child born after ten months of pregnancy was killed right in front of them.
Who wouldn't go crazy in that situation?
Looking at Li Chu's thin and small body, Shen Wangyue found it hard to imagine how she had survived.
Her hands had thick calluses; you could feel it when she held them.
And there are many knife scars...
If Shen Wangyue initially felt only gratitude towards Li Chu, now she also feels a great deal of heartache.
I want to be good to her and want her to be happy for the rest of her life!
