Dejected, Qiao Lian was walking alone along the streets .

She did not know where to go, so she found a random garden and sat on a long bench .
She did not seem to fit in with the hustle and bustle of her surroundings .
The garden was very lively and crowded with people .
Everyone had different expressions on their faces . Someone, whose life seemed to have not gone as planned, walked past her while sobbing .
Qiao Lian wanted to cry too .
However, since eight years ago, she had already understood that crying was useless .
She felt extremely suffocated, as though her heart was stuffed with cotton to the brim .
The mistake at work was clearly not her fault . She could have even given evidence for it . Why did she have to bear the consequences?

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt . She could not suppress that sense of defeat, even after taking in a deep breath .
She had just taken her first step after struggling for eight painstaking years . Why must it be so hard on her?
While she was lost in her thoughts, her cell phone in her bag rang .
She ignored it willfully, as she was in a bad mood .
The phone finally stopped ringing after a long time .
There she was, sitting on a long bench with a blank expression on her face, just like a child that had been abandoned by the entire world .
Biting her lower lips, she lowered her head .
She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth . For more than 10 years, she had lived in luxury . However, eight years ago, her family had gone bankrupt . Her parents had died in a massive fire and her younger brother had gone astray . It was only then that she gained first-hand knowledge of the good and evil of humanity .

At first, she had had to slog everywhere to make a living .
Later on, she had had to continue struggling to get an education .
She had gone from being one of the upper class to a nobody who could get bullied by anyone .
Life was already tough enough . Why was it that so many people still disliked her?
Suddenly, she stretched out her hands to cover her face .
There were no tears . She was just feeling a little worn out .
She didn’t know how much time passed before the light in front of her suddenly dimmed .
Slightly taken aback, she dropped her hands . What entered her vision first were a pair of black leather shoes and perfectly ironed trousers .

As her eyes slowly traced up the pair of long legs, they were met with Shen Liangchuan’s usual nonchalant and expressionless eyes .
He did not have his sunglasses on . He was only wearing a mask, a baseball cap and a sweater . Both his hands were in his pockets casually .
One could feel the special aura that this man was giving out, even without seeing his face .
Initially, she had thought that she must have seen wrongly, so she rubbed her eyes . However, after confirming that the person before her eyes was really Shen Liangchuan, she stood up immediately and looked at him in terror . “Why are you here?”
She scanned her surroundings vigilantly in an instance .
There were actually numerous news agency around where she worked . Shen Liangchuan’s presence there was no different from a sheep walking into a tiger’s den!
Shen Liangchuan turned around and walked back to where he came from . He only said two words with his deep voice, “Come here . ”
Her mind had already blanked out, so she subconsciously followed him . They quickly walked forward to a road beside the garden, and then got on the nanny van in no time .
She could finally heave a sigh of relief . Seeing that he was taking off his mask, she immediately started nagging incessantly, “How can you appear here? You are taking too big of a risk! If someone took a photo, we would be doomed!”
After conveniently throwing away the one-time mask into the dustbin beside, Shen Liangchuan looked at her and said, “Come with me somewhere . ”
To where?
Qiao Lian stared at him wide-eyed, but Shen Liangchuan simply leaned back on the seat and rested his eyes .
Qiao Lian could only shut her mouth .
She turned her head to look out of the car, only to discover that the car was on the expressway leaving Beijing . She wanted to ask where exactly they were headed to . However, after turning around and looking at Shen Liangchuan, she swallowed her words .
In no time, they had already arrived at the destination .
