Zhong Nuannuan was startled by a shrill, annoying noise mixed with the sound of rusted metal being opened and closed .
Her eyesight was fuzzy from the sudden explosion, making her squint . The view in front of her slowly became clearer .
She was facing a thick, rough wall built out of mixed dirt and lime soil . The wall had a big, red slogan written on it .
3Confess to your crimes, Resistance is futile!
7The metal gate of the room was opened from the outside . A female police officer with a grim look on her face walked in . Two words were printed on the emblem on her chest – Justice!
5“Zhong Nuannuan, your charges have been withdrawn1 . The courts have declared you innocent and pronounced you not guilty for murder . You can leave prison now . Your family is waiting for you in the waiting room outside . ”
Family?
Zhong Nuannuan was startled . She pushed the female prison guard to the side and ran toward the waiting room . She did not even bother to put on her shoes .
If not for the icy feeling she felt at every step of the way reminding her that this was not a dream, Zhong Nuannuan would not have believed that she had resurrected .
3Zhong Nuannuan ran to the waiting room in a single breath . She looked up to see a tall silhouette and her heart scrunched up in a tight squeeze .
He was very tall, very cold . He had the imposing persona of a military man that warned off people from getting close to him .
The late autumn’s sunlight shone through the glass windows, shining across his perfectly chiseled face, a light shadow formed from his sharp nose at its alae . It gave his flawless face an added mystery and charm .
3At that moment, he was on the phone while standing in front of the window . He spotted her running in and gave her not more than a side glance . He quickly moved his gaze towards the outside of the window and continued his serious conversation on the phone .
1He acted as if picking her up from prison was nothing more than a matter of convenience .
Zhong Nuannuan finally felt relief in her heart when she once again saw this man, who was as tall as a pine tree and as noble as the gods .
There was a sudden pain in her heart that flooded into her eyes . If she had not done all she could to keep them under control, her tears would have fallen again .
“Nuannuan, how are you doing? You’ve been in prison for a month . Did anyone bully you? Are you hurt anywhere? Tell mum and I’ll make sure to settle everything for you!”
1“Nuannuan is my daughter . There is no way that the daughter of Zhong Kuijun would be so weak . Just look at Nuannuan’s healthy face, she is in the pink of health . One look at her and anyone can see how well she is doing! Hahahaha… My girl, the Zhou family has withdrawn their suit against you . You have been pronounced not guilty for murder . Your dad is here to take you out of prison . Are you feeling happy?”
2Zhong Nuannuan’s sight was suddenly blocked as her father, Zhong Kuijun and mother, Jiang Shuwan, stood in front of her . One of them took her left hand and the other held her right . They were concerned over her as they kept asking about her wellbeing .
In the middle of the room, her older sister, Zhong Qianqian, whom they shared the same father but had different mothers, stood not far from where Chi Yang was . Her body was a little slighted and from where Zhong Nuannuan was standing, it looked as if they were standing side by side .
When Chi Yang had come to pick her up in her last life, she had also felt a little bristled by the scene .
1The sight of her fiancé being busy on the phone with no time of day to even bother about her made her feel frustrated . It did not help that Zhong Qianqian was acting intimate with him while showing off that she was standing right by his side .
She had used so much time and paid such a huge price to return to her home and reunite with her parents . All she wanted was to spend quality time with her family and enjoy the happiness and warmth of her loved ones . She did not come back just to be in a jealous fight with her older half-sister .
