Huang Qingguo welcomed them into the house and told Huang Rui to make tea.

Ruan Mengmeng walked into the house and found that the furnishings were very simple, with almost no decent furniture. But it was clean and bright, and the walls were painted white, as if the house had just been built.

Huang Qinglu smiled awkwardly, "Brother is not doing well, sister, please don't mind."

Tao Hongmei smiled. She called Ruan Mengmeng over and said to Huang Qinglu, "This is Mengmeng."

Huang Qinglu looked at Ruan Mengmeng in surprise. He never expected that she was so beautiful.

“You’re already this big?”

Huang Qinglu smiled and said, "You came here when you were a kid, do you remember?"

Ruan Mengmeng smiled gently and shook her head slightly. Huang Qinglu looked embarrassed.

Tao Hongmei tried to smooth things over by saying, "This child is shy."

That night, Tao Hongmei and Ruan Mengmeng stayed together. Ruan Mengmeng made the bed in the room, while Tao Hongmei was talking to Huang Qinglu outside.

When he was about to fall asleep, Huang Rui brought in a bowl of sugar water and said shyly, "I made this to moisten your mouth." After that, he went out.

Ruan Mengmeng raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't think about anything else. She just felt thirsty, so she drank the sweet soup. Then she fell asleep before Tao Hongmei came back.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Ruan Mengmeng woke up, everything in front of her was pitch black.

She found herself lying on a makeshift pile of straw, which was shaken from time to time.

Ruan Mengmeng was so frightened that she woke up at this time. She was in the cabin of a truck!

As for why she was lying here, she had no idea. The blood in her body was flowing backwards and cold sweat was pouring down her back.

Who did it? What was the purpose? And where did Tao Hongmei go?

This was the first time she encountered such a situation, and her mind was confused and there were a lot of problems to be solved.

Suddenly, the truck stopped. Ruan Mengmeng's body stiffened. She moved back mechanically, sat with her legs hugged, and leaned in the innermost corner of the truck.

The next moment, the door of the box opened and light poured in from outside. Ruan Mengmeng raised her hand to block the glaring light.

When Huang Rui saw Ruan Mengmeng wake up, he was stunned for a moment.

When Ruan Mengmeng saw Huang Rui, she suddenly understood.

Ruan Mengmeng felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She asked in a trembling voice, "Did you drug me?" Her eyes, filled with questioning, stared straight at Huang Rui.

Huang Rui swallowed his saliva. He was about to explain when a voice floated in from outside: "How is she?"

Ruan Mengmeng recognized the voice; it was Huang Rui's father, Huang Qinglu.

Huang Rui quickly whispered to the woman in the car: "Lie down quickly and close your eyes!"

Ruan Mengmeng stared at Huang Rui stubbornly, and Huang Rui anxiously signaled to her that the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer.

Ruan Mengmeng listened to his words with half belief and half doubt, then lay down and closed her eyes. At this moment, she had another doubt in her mind: What exactly did Huang Rui mean? He didn't seem to be in the same group with his father.

Huang Qinglu saw that Huang Rui didn't reply, so he walked over suspiciously and asked, "I was asking you a question, why are you silent?"

Huang Rui suppressed the panic in his heart and said calmly: "She hasn't woken up yet."

Huang Qinglu walked over and saw Ruan Mengmeng with her back to the outside, curled up in a ball, seemingly sleeping soundly.

"Open the trunk and let her get some fresh air." He leaned against the side of the trunk, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Yeah." Huang Rui found that Ruan Mengmeng did not reveal any signs, so he turned around with relief and stayed with Huang Qinglu silently.

Huang Qinglu took a puff of his cigarette, sighed and said, "Rui'er, are you still blaming Dad?"

Huang Rui thought for a while and then said, "I just don't understand why Aunt Tao..."

Huang Qinglu shook his head. "Don't mention her. We are also paid for our work. We shouldn't interfere too much in other people's family affairs... Besides, your Aunt Tao has changed..."

Ruan Mengmeng's breath caught in her throat when she heard them talking about Tao Hongmei. Then she heard Huang Qinglu say, "Her face has completely changed... She actually wants to sell her own flesh and blood. How big of a grudge is this... This child is so pitiful..."

What!?

Ruan Mengmeng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. She stared ahead in disbelief, and her breathing became rapid.

Was it Tao Hongmei who sold her out?

Her biological mother wants to sell her?

How could Ruan Mengmeng just believe what they said?

However, he then heard Huang Rui ask in a low voice: "Then we really have to take her..." He couldn't bear to say the next words, not only because he knew that Ruan Mengmeng had woken up and was eavesdropping on their conversation between father and son, but also because this was a cruel reality.

Ruan Mengmeng held her breath and listened to Huang Qinglu's answer: "Son, there is nothing we can do..."

Huang Rui didn't say anything, he already knew what Huang Qinglu meant.

Huang Qinglu threw away his cigarette butt and said, "Let's go."

Huang Rui glanced at Ruan Mengmeng, whose body was trembling slightly, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

The box door behind Ruan Mengmeng closed again, and her heart became more and more sad. Her body was cold and painful, and she was bruised and battered by this world.

Along the way, Ruan Mengmeng's head was swollen, and all she could think about was why her biological mother would behave like that.

Although Tao Hongmei had never looked at her straight in the eye since she was born, she did not care, kept a low profile, and treated everyone in this family sincerely.

During the bumpy journey, she suddenly remembered Tao Hongmei's hateful and disgusted eyes when she was a child. It turned out that Tao Hongmei's dislike for her was real and not her illusion!

What made her most desperate was that her biological mother actually sold her!

Ruan Mengmeng covered her mouth and cried softly, tears running down her eyes and soaking her hair.

Tao Hongmei's behavior is unforgivable...

After an unknown amount of time, the truck stopped and the door opened. Ruan Mengmeng slowly raised her head and looked at the person who came with desperate eyes.

Huang Rui held a black cloth and a rope in his hand.

Huang Qinglu saw Ruan Mengmeng wake up. He frowned and ordered Huang Rui: "Hurry up and cover her eyes!"

Huang Rui's hand trembled, he raised the black cloth and the twisted rope, and walked quickly towards Ruan Mengmeng in the corner. Ignoring Ruan Mengmeng's struggle, he tied her hands and feet first, and then blindfolded her with black cloth.

Ruan Mengmeng's hands and feet were tied up, and she burst into tears in panic, "Help... Don't come over... Let me go..."

When Huang Rui saw her calling for help, he quickly covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from speaking.

Ruan Mengmeng opened her mouth and bit Huang Rui's hand in hatred, and Huang Rui cried out in pain.

Huang Qinglu looked at the surrounding environment from below and kept urging: "Hurry up, are you done?"
