After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Upon hearing this, the man reopened the box and pushed it in front of him.

The couple immediately scrambled forward, clinging to the box and refusing to let go. They took out stacks of banknotes from inside and examined them repeatedly, their eyes gleaming with greed.

"Guizi, we're rich! We're rich!"

"Yes, it's on!"

Liu Gui was so happy that he couldn't even feel the pain from his injuries. He gently rubbed the banknotes in his hand, already planning how to use the money to pull off a big heist.

"This girl is really valuable. Luckily, she escaped back then, otherwise she would never have met such a rich man."

"Keep your voice down, the person is still here..."

Ji Nianci looked at them, unconsciously revealing a look of disgust. Then she turned around, touched the girl's face, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, you are free now. Let's leave here now. See if there's anything you want to take with you. If there's nothing you want to take, that's okay too. I'll get you everything you need later."

"Sister, wait for me a moment." The girl wiped away her tears and turned to go into the house.

"Hey... what else does this little bastard want to take away..." The woman saw her movements and quickly got up, her eyes following her steps closely.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the girl was going to take their family's bankbook away.

Shen Ceyan gave her a cold glance.

Liu Gui was good at reading people's expressions. He immediately slapped the woman and said in a rough voice, "What valuable things could that little wench have? Just some junk. Take it or leave it. It's useless to keep it. Don't anger the big boss."

Liu Gui was only thinking about the 300,000 yuan, fearing that he might lose the money he had just received if he wasn't careful.

Hearing this, the woman finally calmed down.

Ji Nianci waited for a while, but when the girl didn't come out, she went in as well.

Shen Ceyan's gaze followed her constantly, never leaving her for a moment.

Inside, a small room was faintly lit.

She stepped inside.

Upon entering, Ji Nianci's brows furrowed deeply.

The room was cold, damp, dark, and without windows. Only a small light bulb on the wall emitted a faint glow, barely enough to make out objects.

It was also through this light bulb that Cicai was able to see the facilities inside the house.

That couldn't even be called a room; it was more like a dilapidated storage room.

There's no table, no wardrobe, just a bed in the corner, cobbled together from two planks.

The ground was littered with miscellaneous items, firewood, and various hoes and tools, leaving no place to put one's feet.

She's slept here all her life? There isn't even a decent blanket on that wooden bed.

Ji Nianci felt a lump in her throat; she couldn't even imagine how much suffering this girl had endured.

At that moment, she was squatting in the corner, holding a black plastic bag, and putting things into it one by one.

Hearing the noise behind her, the girl quickly turned around and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, why did you come in? I'll be done soon. You can go out now, it's dirty here."

"It's okay, take your time collecting it, don't worry about me." Ji Nianci quietly wiped her face.

She finished packing quickly, since there wasn't much to take.

As the two women came out, the woman immediately craned her neck and stared intently at the plastic bag in the third sister's hand.

However, the plastic bag was flat and didn't contain much, so the woman looked away.

Shen Ceyan didn't give them another glance and left with the people behind him. The couple showed no reluctance whatsoever.

……

Two bodyguards cleared a path for them, and none of the villagers at the entrance dared to stop them. The group walked out without any hindrance.

After stepping outside, for some reason, Ji Nianci subconsciously turned back to look at the house.

She suddenly noticed that on the second-floor balcony, a boy was quietly gazing in her direction.

However, he wasn't looking at himself, but at the girl standing next to him.

She was looking down, clutching the plastic bag tightly in her hand.

When Ci turned around again, the figures there had already disappeared.

……

It wasn't until she got back into the car that Ji Nianci's heart finally settled down. She wasn't worried about her own safety, but rather relieved that her third sister had finally gained her freedom and escaped that suffocating place.

"Sister, brother, thank you. I don't know how to express my gratitude..." The third sister's voice was choked with emotion, but you could hear her joy, a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

"I will pay back the money I owe you slowly."

Ji Nianci sat down next to her and took out a tissue to wipe away her tears.

Knowing that the girl was strong-willed, she could only reply, "Okay, I'll wait for you. There's no rush. You should focus on your studies first, and you can pay me back later when you start working."

Shen Ceyan started the car and drove away from the place.

The third sister leaned back in her chair, quietly gazing at the scenery outside the window. Even though it was getting dark and she couldn't see clearly, she still looked intently. She remembered every oil field and every tree here clearly.

Now, she is finally leaving this place where she has lived for eighteen years, and which has tormented her for eighteen years.

She felt incredibly happy.

Although she owes a huge debt, she has hands and feet, and even if she doesn't eat or drink, she will pay it off one day.

It's so much better than living that miserable, inhuman life in that family.

If there's one thing she'll miss, it's that boy who, despite his harsh and cold words, actually did so much for her...

Suddenly, a brand new blanket was placed over her.

"Take a rest if you're tired."

"Sister, I'm not tired, I'm very happy." Her eyes were glistening with tears.

“Silly girl…” Ji Nianci raised his hand and touched her face.

Shen Ceyan drove to the hospital.

The third sister had suffered domestic violence and abuse for a long time, and her body was covered with all kinds of old and new scars. Fearing that there might be something wrong with her health, the two decided to take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

The third sister was initially resistant, after all, she already owed them a lot.

But Ci Jinian said righteously, "You finally escaped from that quagmire. How can you start a new life without a healthy body? Right?"

Only after hearing this did she give in.

Yes, I'm about to start a new life.
