Chapter 174 - 173: Special Treatment (3)
Mr. Chen’s family has some assets, so he is considered a wealthy man, and the Chen Mansion is located in a rich neighborhood where naturally, rich people live.
The first time she saw Cheng Ziyang was in this neighborhood.
That night after her tutoring session ended, she had just left the Chen Mansion when it suddenly started to rain heavily.
Heavy rain is often accompanied by lightning and thunder. She wasn’t afraid of the rain but was terrified of lightning and thunder, so she quickened her pace, wanting to rush to the bus stop and get on a bus quickly. However, she had only run a few steps when a bolt of lightning flashed right before her eyes, followed by the booming sound of thunder exploding in her ears.
Her body suddenly stiffened, her whole person froze, and fear swiftly surged from deep within her, spreading through every part of her. Her feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, unable to move.
Another flash of lightning struck, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground. She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, trying to escape the terrifying flashes and booms, but they continued to surround her like demons, haunting her relentlessly.
Her body trembled, curling up in a ball as the rain poured down, the raindrops pelting her like stones, but she couldn’t move an inch.
Fear and despair viciously consumed her, and she couldn’t stop recalling her childhood when her mother resolutely left with a suitcase, her cries and pleas for her mother not to leave unanswered as her mother walked away without looking back.
