Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Liu Bao'er awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "It's him."

The interrogator slammed the file shut and said seriously, "We'll go and verify it with him."

After speaking, he left.

Liu Bao'er panicked when she saw him turn around and leave without any mercy.

"Don't go! Let me go! Don't leave me here alone!"

But no matter how much she shouted, the interrogator didn't turn around, and the door was closed again.

Liu Bao'er was left alone in the small room again. The only difference was that this time, her eyes were not covered, and she could see her surroundings.

Liu Bao'er looked around the room. It was a small room with no windows.

The only things there were the chair she was sitting in and the same table and chairs the interrogator had been sitting in.

Liu Bao'er stared at the desk lamp on the table in front of her in despair, and shivered.

She hoped Gao Jingxuan could rescue her quickly; she really didn't want to stay in this awful place for another second.

.

Gao Jingxuan had been feeling uneasy all day.

Ever since he heard that the village chief's family had been arrested, he had felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

Gao Jingxuan was from Haishi. As the only son in his family, he was not required to go to the countryside.

But the most successful uncle in the family had briefly studied abroad in his early years.

Although it was a government-sponsored program and nothing had happened over the years, rumors have surfaced this year that someone might be using this as leverage to deliberately cause trouble.

Fearing something might happen, his family arranged for him to be sent to the countryside to work as an educated youth.

The original intention was to take him back as a precaution, once things had calmed down.

Unexpectedly, shortly after Gao Jingxuan went to the countryside, his family really had an accident, so naturally there was no way to bring him back.

They could no longer offer him any help; he had to rely on himself and depend on his own efforts.

However, it is not easy for a pampered and weak young master from Shanghai to suddenly go to the countryside to do farm work and to be self-reliant without any external help.

Fortunately, Liu Bao'er appeared not long after.

Liu Bao'er is the village chief's youngest daughter. Her family is one of the wealthiest in the village, and the village chief's family dotes on her, so Liu Bao'er can access a lot of resources.

Although Gao Jingxuan initially looked down on Liu Baoer, thinking that Liu Baoer's style was unfashionable and her appearance was gaunt.

But since she was the village chief's daughter, he still put on a gentle and refined demeanor when interacting with Liu Bao'er.

Moreover, every time Liu Bao'er came to see Gao Jingxuan, she would bring him delicious food. Since Liu Bao'er came into his life, he has never gone hungry again.

Gao Jingxuan then took the opportunity to keep Liu Bao'er hanging on, enjoying her adoration, but without clarifying their relationship.

Later, as Gao Jingxuan became more familiar with the villagers, he learned from them that Liu Bao'er had attempted suicide by jumping into the river after being jilted, and he looked down on Liu Bao'er even more.

But it was at this time that the village chief secretly found him and told him that as long as he married Liu Bao'er, he could recommend him to go to university and would also give him a sum of money.

This was a huge temptation for Gao Jingxuan.

He was fed up with the daily grind in the countryside. If he could go to university, he could get rid of that life immediately.

Moreover, with the money from the Liu family, he could pursue many of his ambitions. If things went wrong, he could just get rid of Liu Bao'er once he became successful.

Getting promoted, making money, and losing one's wife—these are all considered fortunate things for middle-aged men.
