LiJun retracted his gaze and walked past Cen Shuang to pick up his brush. Cen Shuang blinked innocently and picked up a new brush to continue painting.

suddenly, Li Jun said, “Actually, I saw what happened that day. I can testify for you.”

Cen Shuang turned around in surprise and looked at him strangely. What was he trying to say to her?

Li Jun was embarrassed by her stare. He cleared his throat and said, “If there’s a need, I can prove to the school that she kidnapped someone and hurt her intentionally. The school can’t allow her to break the law.”

Cen Shuang smiled nonchalantly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Li Jun frowned and said with a mature look on his face, “You won’t send her to the police station.”

If Cen Shuang had wanted to do that, she would not have tried to scare Lin Menghan. However, she did not know if she would back down.

Cen Shuang said, “I’m fine. That would not do much. If she comes up with an excuse, she might be out in a few days. Lin Menghan only wants to marry into a rich family. Unfortunately, the boss of the security company she wants to be with seems to have a family. He can’t divorce his wife and marry her.

She’s quite unlucky.”

Lin Menghan wanted to harm her, but she could still think of others. Li Jun was stunned. He looked at her for a long while before saying, “You’re not who I thought you were.”

Cen Shuang smiled. “Do you think I’m as pure as a white Lotus? I’m not a kind person. If she dares to provoke me again, I’ll break her legs. Do you think I’m evil? I’m actually more like a black lotus.”

Cen Shuang’s fierce expression made Li Jun’s mouth twitch. She turned her gaze back to her painting, but her hands were still gripping the brush tightly.

The two of them worked hard for the whole afternoon. Finally, they had completed the tasks that she had left undone for the past few days. Cen Shuang raised her head to look at the gloomy sky. “It looks like it’s going to rain.”

As soon as she finished saying that, raindrops fell from the sky. “It’s raining. I have to go now.”

If it rained heavily, she was afraid that the road back to the Zhuang family’s house would be even more difficult to navigate. The rocks from last time were put there on purpose. However, if it rained heavily this time, there might be a landslide on the mountain road leading to the Zhuang family’s house.

Cen Shuang threw down her supplies and ran out. Li Jun looked at her back and had no choice but to pack up and leave too.

The rain fell as the thunder resounded. The entire Lin City fell into darkness. Cen Shuang looked at the road anxiously. She thought to herself that there would not really be falling rocks on the way back to the Zhuang family’s house. Although Zhuang Hong had woken up, his body was still very weak. Plus,

she was the only person in the Zhuang family who knew that Zhuang Hong had woken up. If she did not go home, she was afraid that Zhuang Hong would starve to death in bed.

She did not want to become a murderer, Cen Shuang thought to herself. Her line of sight inadvertently caught sight of the road that was flooded by the heavy rain. Cen Shuang saw a small gray figure curled up in the east corner of Jiang University. The little guy was trying to escape, however, he was

forced back by the heavy rain.

Cen Shuang parked her car by the side of the road and ran out of the car. The heavy rain outside drenched her completely. She quickened her pace and ran toward the poor figure in the corner. Li Jun was sitting in the car not far away from her. He watched the slender figure carry something into the car in

the heavy rain.

The driver urged, “Young master, madam’s birthday party is about to begin.”

Li Jun looked back at the red car that had disappeared into the rainy night and said, “Let’s go home.”

Cen Shuang looked at the two little ones and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you home first.”

On the passenger seat, the two little ones were snuggling against each other. They whimpered now and again and were shivering.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cen Shuang looked at the two little puppies and muttered to herself, “How pitiful. Who was so hateful to abandon you two? Is it very cold? Don’t worry, welll be there soon.”

Outside, the sound of thunder was mixed with the heavy rain. The air was cold and damp. However, it was warm in the car. Cen Shuang sped up and drove carefully on the mountain road. She definitely felt that it was inconvenient that the Zhuang family had built their house halfway up the mountain.

‘When Cen Shuang drove the car into the Zhuang family’s courtyard, Lan Yibai ignored the heavy rain and came over quickly. “It’s good that you’re back. Next time, if the weather gets as bad as this, stay in a hotel for one night. Don’t run back and forth.”

Although the Zhuang family would often hire people to clean up the mountain road when there were small landslides, she was still worried when she heard that Cen Shuang was blocked by rocks the last time. This time, it was raining so heavily, and Cen Shuang still came back in the rain, which made her

heart ache. If it were not for Zhuang Hong’s illness, they could have moved to the city and given up this extra room.

Cen Shuang said, “Mom, I’m fine. I was driving anyway. I’ll just be careful.”

Lan Yibai looked at Cen Shuang’s wet clothes and said with heartache, “Why are you all wet?”
