Tianhao drove his Bentley recklessly, venting his frustration.
As soon as he arrived at the company in the afternoon, he discovered that his dog Kachi was missing. It must be that the old man had really sent someone to get rid of Kachi. Angry, Tianhao stormed out of the company.
After some thought, he decided to invite Luna for a date to release his anger. However, this woman ruined his mood.
Now, where should he go? Right, he should visit the hospital and check on his elder brother. It's been two days since he last visited, and he could also give a ride home to that sister-in-law.
Tianhao was startled by his own thought. Why did he suddenly think of that woman? Logically, even though her current identity was uncertain, she had appeared as his sister-in-law. Why couldn't he treat her with respect and as his sister-in-law? Instead, he always wanted to argue with her, enjoying the sight of her getting angry.
Could it be that it was her lack of manner, face, and a terrible figure that caught his attention? Yes, it must be the reason. There were too many beauties around him, causing aesthetic fatigue. That's why he found that ordinary woman strangely pleasing.

Xiaolu held two skewers of cuttlefish balls, blew on them with her mouth, and enjoyed biting into one. Wow, the tender juice spread in her mouth along with the ball, filling her mouth with fragrance.
Xiaolu suddenly remembered the scene when her father took her to buy cuttlefish balls when she was young. Her heart couldn't help but ache. Despite her father's many faults, he had been relying on her since her mother left. With these thoughts, she decided to make a call home. She wondered how her father would react to her 'disappearance.'
Damn it, after the car accident, her phone was crushed. Luckily, there was a public telephone booth nearby. Xiaolu entered the booth and nervously dialed her home number.
One ring, two rings, three rings... When Xiaolu confirmed that no one was home and was about to hang up, the call was answered.
"Who's this? Tell you, I have no money. Even if you kill me, I don't have any money."
It was her father's voice, indicating that he had been released by the creditors. Thank goodness. However, judging from his tone, he seemed to have drunk a lot again.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? Speak up. Damn it, harassing me. Be careful; I'll call damn police if you do it again."
Xiaolu held the phone but didn't dare to speak.
Finally, she squeezed her voice and said, "Hello, I'm from the property management company. Did your house report a water leakage for repair?"
"Bullshit, my damn daughter ran away from home. Who would report a repair? You must have dialed the wrong number."
After saying that, he hung up with a snap.
Xiaolu slowly placed the phone back on the receiver, leaned against the glass door of the telephone booth, and tears flowed out sadly. Back then, to escape the mess in her family, she boarded the runaway bus. Unexpectedly, she accidentally became the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Now she lived a life at the top of society, while her father still struggled to make a living.
No, she must get that twenty thousand as soon as possible to help her father pay off the gambling debts. Then, she could quietly leave the Lin family before Tianchen woke up and revealed her true identity.
Leaving the telephone booth, Xiaolu's mood was extremely bad. Although she still felt hungray after the two skewers of cuttlefish balls, she had no mood to eat anymore.
"Sir, give me a bottle of water please." Xiaolu handed over the change, took the water, and was about to leave. However, her gaze was drawn to the newspaper on the newsstand next to her.
"I want that newspaper too."
"Miss, this newspaper is from two weeks ago. I use it to wrap things."
"Sell it to me, okay? Please."
"Well... fine, you can take it if you like. No need to pay. Consider it a free gift with the water."
"Thank you." Xiaolu took the newspaper and ran to a quite place, reading it carefully.
The headline on the front page was eye-catching: "Bus and Truck Collision, Resulting in 5 Deaths, Dozens Injured and Intensively Rescued."
The content was about the relevant reports of the car accident that day. It stated that the accident resulted in five immediate deaths, and the remaining injured were rushed to St. Anne's Hospital for rescue. Among the injured, there was a young man suspected to be Lin Tianchen, the son of Shenghua Group's CEO Lin Yuanxiang. However, in a subsequent interview, CEO Lin denied this and claimed that his eldest son was on a business trip to France. In addition, two injured individuals had no identification proving their identities. If anyone had information, please contact this newspaper.
Oh my god, beneath the report, there was even her photo. Fortunately, in the photo, she was lying on a stretcher, blood smeared on her face, and most of her face was blocked by the doctor beside the stretcher. It would be difficult for others to recognize her as Fang Xiaolu.
Still shaken, Xiaolu decided to hurry back to the Lin family. She had been away for so long; she didn't want to cause trouble when she returned. It seemed that she had to quickly get the money and leave the Lin family. It was already urgent.
