The Scammer’s Daughter! (2)
"Let's go!"1
By the time Shen Liangchuan's voice reached her ears, it was too late.
Qiao Lian was surrounded. Someone held her arm, saying, "Don't you try to run away."
As these words came, she felt a sharp pain as something hit her. A tomato had struck her and burst open with the impact. The juice of the fruit splashed against her body.
She bit her lip and shut her eyes in pain, clenching her fists.
The happenings from eight years ago now came back to her in flashes.
She knew the faces in front of her. She knew them well.
Even though eight years had gone by, they hadn't changed much.
Eight years ago, these were the same people that had surrounded the doorway to her home, holding up a banner and demanding an explanation.
It got to the news and her parents became the target of everyone's wrath.
It had changed her brother's and her lives forever.
It hadn't been so bad for her.
At most, people talked and debated it behind her back.
With Lu Nanze and his gang behind her, people didn't dare to confront her.
But her brother… She remembered one day after school, she saw his face swollen and bruised, but he wouldn't tell her what had happened when she asked.
She eventually found out. He had been bullied and beaten up.
After that, he dreaded going to school.
Actually, without even going into the details of the matter…
It had been her parents' matter to solve. What did she and her brother had to do with it?
But these people harassed them and wouldn't let them go… until there was that huge fire.
Her parents had perished in that fire, and her brother had broken his leg.
When the building collapsed, her father had had their property impounded by the bank that financed them and they were declared bankrupt.
At the time, she didn't even have the money for her brother's medical bills, where was she going to get the money to compensate the people?
She knew too that they were innocent victims.
But why did they have to force her? Would they be appeased only when she and her brother died along with their parents?
She stared at the tomato juice stain in a daze.
At this point, she felt someone yank her arm. At once, she was leaning against someone's broad chest.
She froze for a moment before looking up with a frightened expression. Shen Liangchuan had slid a hand around her shoulders, drawing her into his embrace, and with a turn, he had used his back to protect her from all the flying projectiles that were being hurled at her now.
Slowly, her blurred vision focused and zoomed in on the man before her.
Suddenly, she felt a dull ache in her heart.
Shen Liangchuan was truly the only warmth she had in her life.
She bit her lip and was about to say something when she felt something warm fall on her.
The skies were dark and the street lamps gave out a mellow glow.
She couldn't see clearly, so she reached out to touch her forehead with confusion. Then she looked down at her hand. That thick and sticky fluid… it was blood!
She widened her eyes and realized that among the things that the people had hurled, there was a piece of brick.
And Shen Liangchuan had taken the hit for her, although it had landed on his head.
Qiao Lian panicked at once and called, "Shen Liangchuan!"
She heard him reply, "Xiao Qiao, I'm here. It will be okay."
After these words, his eyelids shut and his legs gave way!
Qiao Lian used all of her strength to try to hold him up, but in the end, she found herself kneeling on the ground next to him.
It was only then they saw that his face was covered in blood.
Suddenly, a silence fell over the crowd.
Qiao Lian stared at Shen Liangchuan and threw herself on him, shouting her lungs out, "Shen! Liang! Chuan!!"
