Chapter 501: Who Answered the Phone
Chapter 501 Who Answered the Phone
"City people?" Mengyu was puzzled. Isn’t it the wish of many rural girls to marry into the city people?
"Yes, that person seems fine on the surface, good-looking, from a good family, but in reality, he is gay," Wang Huilan said angrily.
"How did you know he’s gay?"
"Ah Mei saw it. She’s working in the city and happened to pass by a gathering place for gay people. She saw that man hugging and, and kissing another man!"
Ah Mei was also Mengyu’s middle school classmate, from the same village as Wang Huilan,
"Does your dad know?"
"I told him, but he didn’t believe it!" Wang Huilan wanted to cry, her dad who had always been kind to her suddenly became kind to someone else.
"I went out to work with Jiang Haidong this time also to escape this marriage."
Mengyu was surprised: "Did you go without telling your dad?"
Wang Huilan shook her head: "My dad agreed to let me go, but then he asked me to take care of Ah Mei. Ah Mei is that woman’s daughter, who she brought to our home."
She remembered that because she spoke up for Ah Mei, she was caught by Ah Sheng to take Ah Mei’s place, and Ah Mei didn’t show any intention of helping her and only cared about escaping herself, she was angry.
If it wasn’t because she had promised her dad to take care of Ah Mei, how would she have gotten into such trouble?
She heard Ah Mei’s voice in her ears again: "Wang Huilan, save me, you promised your uncle to take care of me. If you don’t help me, when I go back, I’ll tell your uncle to kick you out of the house."
Mengyu always felt something wasn’t right: "Your dad doesn’t seem like that kind of person."
Wang Huilan’s home in the village was close to the village committee office, and the middle school department was at the village committee. Mengyu sometimes went to her house to play.
Every time she saw Wang Huilan’s dad, Mengyu was very envious; she had a good dad.
If Wang Huilan’s dad really was that kind of person, he wouldn’t have gone so many years without remarrying.
"I think so too. My dad used to be so good to me, unlike now. The way he looks at me is all wrong, as if I’m not his daughter but his enemy. Instead, when he looks at that woman’s daughter, it’s like she’s his real child."
She hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and told Mengyu about what happened at dinner the night before.
"That Ah Mei dared to say to let my dad kick me out of the house, I feel like, it is very possible that my dad would really kick me out, so, I had to—"
Wang Huilan’s eyes reddened again.
Mengyu was deeply shocked. An outsider, a drag on the family, dared to suggest kicking out the authentic daughter of the house; how bold must she be?
"Sorry, I am late. As soon as I heard what Shuiyu said, I immediately felt something was wrong. I had Shuiyu call the village committee to tell you not to go. Who knew the people from the village committee said you had already left."
Mengyu paused, then sighed and said: "Because I didn’t know which coastal city you went to, or which road you took, it was difficult for me to search alone, so I first went to see my brother in the army and asked him to send people to find you.
But who knew that when I rushed to the army, I was told Brother Gu wasn’t there. I couldn’t find my boyfriend either, so I had no choice but to go to the County Committee for help, getting all the Public Security forces out there, to prevent them from acting rashly.
I thought even if they wanted to trouble you, it would have been at night, upon reaching the destination. I didn’t expect—"
Mengyu sighed in her heart. If Brother Gu or her own brother she reached out to first had been around, Wang Huilan wouldn’t have been raped.
Meanwhile, Gu Dongxing, who Mengyu was resenting, had returned to the army overnight and was also investigating who it was at the regiment headquarters who had answered the phone saying Cheng Jiuhe wasn’t there.
