Chapter 59

Just then, the bedroom door was forcibly opened.

Zhou Yong glared at me fiercely, his eyes filled with disgust and anger: "Look what you've done! How could you let someone take photos of you without your consent? Wasn't he pursuing you? Why do you still have a fiancée? Having a fiancée is one thing, but you can't even hold onto a man's heart. What use are you to me!"

Zhou Yong stood angrily by the bed, his eyes looking as if he wanted to skin me alive.

I instinctively shrank back, completely enveloping myself in the blankets.

I had long given up hope on this father who only smoked, drank, and abused his wife, but I was still hurt by his verbal attacks.

My whole body was ice-cold, as if I had been thrown into a frozen wasteland.

Zhou Yong cursed a few times, and seeing that I remained silent, he became furious and smashed the cup on the table before leaving.

Zhao Fang, standing in the corner, looked terrified. The latter moved her lips, but in the end said nothing and left.

A moment later, she came in again, closed the door, and held a water glass in her hand. Her tone was somewhat reserved, which surprised me.

"Have some water."

Zhao Fang handed me a glass of warm water. I thanked her, but just held it without drinking it.

"Your dad's gone, probably off to see those shady friends again."

“This is a letter your grandmother wrote to you before she passed away. Your father doesn’t know about it, so I secretly hid it.”

As Zhao Fang spoke, she took out an envelope from her bosom.

"Actually, she already knew about her health condition and didn't want you to worry. So, on Sunday afternoons when you were at school and living at the dormitory, she prepared the letter, wrote it, and gave it to me to keep safe."

I listened to Zhao Fang's words and asked coldly, "Why didn't you give it to me before?"

"I……"

Zhao Fang was speechless and offered no explanation.

I know very well that she would never have taken it out if I hadn't helped her yesterday.

"Anyway, thank you for returning the letter to me."

I held the letter my grandmother left behind tightly to my heart, remembering her fondly.

"There's one more thing. I'll tell you after you transfer the money to me and Ansie takes me to the airport."

Zhao Fang made up her mind and stared at me intently.

"You're trying to escape?"

I was slightly surprised by her serious expression.

"Shh, I've been thinking about this for a long time. As long as you get me safely to the airport, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Zhao Fang's tone was firm, but somewhat hurried.

"When? Don't forget, you're not divorced yet."

I spoke up to remind them.

“I know. Your Uncle Kang said that as long as I take the money and go abroad with him, he has a way to find people. I have already left evidence of my injuries. With these, the lawyer will help me get a smooth divorce. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

"When do you plan to leave?"

I asked.

"The sooner the better. If possible, give me the money now and take me to the airport tomorrow."

Listening to Zhao Fang's anxious words and seeing her selfish expression, my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"Do you know how many people online are treating me right now? If I go out now, wouldn't I be courting death?"

"No, if you wear a mask and a hat, no one will recognize you. Don't you want to know about your background?"

Zhao Fang got anxious, and her last sentence completely surprised me.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by my background?"

I pressed for an answer, but a bad feeling crept into my heart.

“You are not my biological child. I was born prematurely before you, and I have been unable to have children since then. You were picked up by your grandmother from outside.”

"I'll tell you the details after you get me safely to the airport."

I was deeply shocked by Zhao Fang's words, but I remained remarkably calm on the surface.

I don't know whether I'm happy or unhappy.

"let me consider it."

After I calmly finished speaking, Zhao Fang turned and left.

If Zhao Fang suddenly leaves tomorrow, I won't be able to stay at home either. Thinking about this makes me inexplicably irritable.

I had considered breaking ties with my family, but I never expected it to happen so quickly.

I immediately transferred 20,000 yuan to Zhao Fang, and I'll give her the remaining 10,000 yuan when she asks, since I don't have any feelings for these parents.

I used the excuse that it was Chinese New Year and I didn't have a plane ticket to make up for it, and I promised to send her away after the New Year.

No matter how unwilling Zhao Fang was, she could only wait, but she also asked me to protect her safety during this time.

For several days in a row, I stayed at home. Zhou Yong hadn't come back for several days, which made Zhao Fang and me feel much more at ease.

However, on this day, people on the internet, dissatisfied with the online cursing, actually managed to find out my home address and led a group to besiege me. Because it was an old community with inadequate security, those people could not easily break in.

It was noon, and Zhao Fang and I were having lunch when there was a loud knocking on the door, followed by curses coming through the wooden board.

"Zhou Nanzhi, get out here! You're shameless enough to be a mistress. How could Gu Jinhuai possibly want you?"

"Stop hiding inside like a coward! Come out and apologize to Miss Song right now, apologize in public, do you hear me!"

"How to do?"

Zhao Fang had never seen such symptoms before and was already terrified. She gripped my arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"If all else fails, call your dad. It'll be better if there's a man in the house."

I watched as she reached for her phone to make a call, and said coldly, "Do you think he'll stand up for us? It's good enough if he doesn't take it out on us."

Over the years, I've seen through him long ago. Zhou Yong only dares to be a bully at home; once he's outside, he's as obedient as a grandson.

"What do we do now? What if they break in..."

"What are you afraid of? If they dare to come in, we'll sue them for trespassing. We'll call the police first and let them figure out a solution."

I knew perfectly well that if I opened the door, those people outside might do something even more outrageous.

Soon, the police arrived and told me to open the door. I stopped Zhao Fang from opening the door, opened the small hole in the security door, and looked outside. There was only one male police officer in uniform.

My gaze fell on his shoulder, but I didn't see any numbers on it. Real police officers usually have six-digit codes, but he didn't.

I scoffed and said coldly, "If you're going to put on an act, you should at least do it properly. How can there be such a useless cop like you? If you really are one, then show me your ID."

The man posing as a policeman was caught so quickly; his face paled, and panic flashed in his eyes.

Finally, I was pulled to the back, and then I saw a young woman with a fishtail braid standing at the front, wearing heavy makeup. She looked at me with disdain and roared, "Shut up and apologize to Miss Song right now! Apologize publicly to the whole internet! How can you be so shameless? You're a liar! I hate people like you the most!"

"If you don't come out, I'll tear the door down. If something happens then, I won't know what will happen."

The girl threatened me while glaring at me fiercely, her tone full of warning.

"How much money did Song Yuan pay you to work so hard and distort the truth?"

I crossed my arms, opened the small window of the security door, glanced at her coldly, and spoke with a mocking tone.

The girl looked slightly startled, but quickly suppressed it and angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by giving money? We're just online friends. I go to No. 1 High School, and she's practically my senior. She's such a nice person, how could she be bullied by a vixen like you?"

"Be smart and come out and apologize right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The girl raised her chin at me, her eyes full of contempt.

Without saying a word, I slammed the door shut.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the noise outside the door finally quieted down.

Zhao Fang looked at me sitting on the sofa with earphones in my ears, looking terrified.

"With so many people cursing at you outside, how can you still listen to music?"

"What are you afraid of? These people will only dare to threaten us at most. Do you think they'll actually come in?"

I put the earphones back in their sockets and turned off the music on my phone.

"Then I'll go take a look."

Zhao Fang was worried and was about to go and open the door, but I stopped her.

"Don't go. These people are full of tricks. If you open the door now, you'll be walking into a trap."
