Tears instantly poured out, and, fearful of being seen in her vulnerability, she covered her mouth and ran away.
She had already bought her high-speed train ticket, choosing her time carefully. Sitting by the window, she felt exhausted after crying.
Resting her head against the window, she stared blankly at the passing scenery outside.
"From now on, you are part of the Ji Family. Your status will be incredibly honorable, so you must forget your own parents. Otherwise, you'll not only harm yourself but also your parents."
"Don't hit me, I won't run away again, and I won't miss my mom anymore."
...
The cellphone in her bag suddenly vibrated twice, pulling her out of her trance. She wiped the tears from her face and rummaged through her bag for her phone. A message from an unknown number appeared on the screen.
"Baby, what are you doing?"
Seeing the content of the message, Ji Anning assumed it was sent to her by mistake. She was about to put her cell phone back in her bag.
