Chapter 506: Love Potion
Chapter 506 Love Potion
"It’s all my fault, I didn’t consider everything thoroughly!" Mengyu knocked on her own head.
If she had known they would do that, why did she even call the police? She should have just used Sword Flight to search from the very beginning. Without wasting time at the County Committee, she would have been able to find that kidnapper’s car before eight o’clock.
How could she not blame herself?
Wang Huilan said sadly, "It’s not your fault, this is my tribulation. If it weren’t for my dad becoming like that, I actually never thought about leaving home."
Mengyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, tomorrow we’ll go to your house and take a look. Perhaps your dad’s nature has been clouded by some drug."
But upon hearing about going back, Wang Huilan shuddered.
The incident where Wang Huilan was violated by that man in the car was known to everyone on the bus. And there were eight people from their village on the bus that day.
If any one of them leaked a bit of her story, it would spread everywhere, and by then, she would be drowned in spit.
There’s a saying called "wherever the wind blows, it brings chill", describing the speed at which such news spreads.
Mengyu pulled her up and patted her back, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you. They wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense. They’ve all taken an oath, and anyone who dares to break it, I’ll make sure their oath comes true!"
She didn’t tell Wang Huilan that she had already erased those people’s memories regarding the incidents of yesterday and early this morning.
This matter was a bit fantastical, and she wouldn’t believe it after hearing about it. An oath seemed more real and reliable.
Wang Huilan suddenly remembered what Mengyu had just said and hurriedly asked again, "You said, is it possible that my dad’s nature was clouded by some drug?"
Mengyu hesitated, "Hmm, your dad has become too formidable, it’s too suspicious, we have to see to know!"
When Mengyu mentioned that her dad had become too formidable, Wang Huilan suddenly remembered something else, "Mengyu, I also think you’ve become very formidable. We were classmates in junior high school, we’ve only been apart for so long, and you’ve become this powerful."
Mengyu did not deny it, but instead sighed, "Anyone who has gone through life and death will change."
Not wanting to hide it from Wang Huilan, she told her about everything she had experienced in the past half a year.
She mentioned drinking the sweet wine poured by Huaiyu and becoming unconscious, being sold by the Jiang Family’s parents, being forced to jump off a cliff when being taken through the mountains to escape, being saved by someone, her birth mother finding her, breaking ties with the Jiang Family, going to the university to take over Jiang Huaiyu’s academic registration, and so on.
Of course, she didn’t mention the rebirth.
After hearing all that Mengyu had said, Wang Huilan fell silent again.
No wonder, when Ah Sheng was bullying her, that was Jiang Haidong’s attitude!
Maybe he was even happy that the victim was her.
After a good while, she asked again, "Could it be that my dad changed because he too had been through life and death?"
Mengyu’s heart stirred: "Your dad went through life and death?"
Wang Huilan nodded, "My dad went to the mountains to gather wild goods. Unbeknownst to everyone, he fell off a cliff and was saved by a woman. After that, my dad got close with this woman and even brought her and her daughter out of the mountains. She is now my stepmother."
A woman from the mountains?
Mengyu suddenly recalled a story she heard in her childhood. There was a handsome man in a village across the river who despised fat women, proclaiming that such women were necessarily lazy, which is why they grew so heavy. His wife, too, was a slender beauty.
A tall and plump woman, weighing around one hundred and fifty pounds, heard about this man’s words from others. She scoffed coldly and said, "Dislikes fat women? Let’s see if I give him some love potion one day. I really want to see if he will like me or not."
