The sky was dark, and heavy rain fell incessantly.
In front of the gate of a beautiful western-style villa, 19-year-old An Xiaomian knelt on the drenched ground, her whole body soaked, her eyes red from crying, "Uncle, Auntie, please, take Grandma to the hospital, I beg you..."
An Xiaomian had been kneeling there for a whole day. Since her grandmother fell ill in the morning, she had been beseeching her uncle and auntie to take her to the hospital.
An Xiaomian's parents had both died in an accident when she was six years old.
Back then, her uncle and auntie had already separated from their family, but after hearing about the death of An Xiaomian's parents, they came over under the pretense of taking care of An Xiaomian and her grandmother, and then took possession of the property left by An Xiaomian's parents.
For more than a decade, An Xiaomian was not only neglected by her uncle and auntie, but was also frequently enslaved by them, and bullied by her cousins. Aside from her grandmother, who had always been kind to her, no one else treated An Xiaomian well.
Now, her grandmother was already over 70 years old, and her uncle's family had not treated her well over the years. So today when Grandma suddenly fell sick, no matter what An Xiaomian said, the villa's door remained forever closed, with no one paying any attention to her.
"An Xiaomian, that old wretch is old and her illness can't be cured. Don't make us waste money; she has lived long enough. If you really can't part with that old wretch, you can wait to die with her when she does! You little wretch, get lost and stop howling at our doorstep!" A sneering laugh came from inside the villa.
Then, "click." Suddenly, the bright lights inside the villa went out.
An Xiaomian hid her resentment towards her uncle and auntie's family, knowing they weren't going to give any money. She knew that even if she cried herself to death, they wouldn't save her grandmother.
She wiped away the tears that kept flowing and looked over at the small storehouse next to the villa.
This small storehouse is where she and her grandmother were made to live after her uncle and auntie took over her family's property. It was very small, and her grandmother was lying inside.
Pressing her lips tightly, two big tears fell, and she turned and ran outside.
If her uncle and auntie were unwilling to save her grandmother, she would go out and find a way to get money to save her.
However, An Xiaomian had just run out of the villa complex when she was suddenly hit hard by a car that rushed through the rain and fell to the ground.
"Ah—" In pain, she couldn't help crying out as blood continuously oozed from her injured knee, mingling with the rainwater.
Her pale little face looked dazedly at the injured area.
The car that hit her also came to a stop, and the driver, who was also a bodyguard, looked back in horror, cautiously and respectfully said, "Young Master... I seem to have hit someone."
In the back seat, the handsome face of the man was slightly flushed in an unnatural way, his breath unsteady, his gaze enduring, and his whole body stiff, clearly drugged, struggling to resist.
"Get out and deal with it!" After a long time, a low, irritable, and angry voice came from the back seat.
On hearing this, the bodyguard quickly opened an umbrella, then got out of the car and rushed to the girl he had hit. Upon realizing she wasn't dead but just injured, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly squatted down and said to the girl, "I'm sorry for hitting you, miss. I'll take you to the hospital right now. I'll cover all medical costs and compensate you. Can you stand up? Do you need my help getting up? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital..."
