Can't Take My Eyes Off You

80

There was not much of a crowd in the cinema as it was an old film playing in the middle of the hot

afternoon. Despite the lack of popularity, it was quite an interesting movie. Lu Xiaoxiao met her friends

too. After the movie, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Yao to head home first while she went to dinner with her

friends.

After Jiang Yao exited the cinema, she felt as if someone was tailing her. So, instead of walking home

straightaway, she went into a crowded bookstore, bought two books, and casually read the books while

observing her surroundings discreetly, although she couldn't find any suspicious people.

Jiang Yao knocked her head in bewilderment. She was being ridiculous. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Lu Haixing's house was located on the outskirts of the city center, away from the densely populated

place. There was a long descending slope on the way home and at the peak of the slope was the

housing area where Lu Haixing and several of his neighbors lived.

The scenery of the slope was very breathtaking with endless rows of tall ginkgo trees. These ginkgo

trees were a tourist attraction in every winter, but right now, the slope was hollow.

Grabbing the two books in her embrace, Jiang Yao walked hastily up the slope.

"D*mn it! That's the b*tch! Hurry up and grab her!"

Abruptly, Zhao Zhuangzong's menacing voice echoed from the dense woods beside side. Two to three

men emerged with him from behind the tall trees and they slowly approached her.

The three men glared at her in an inexplicable illicit way.

"Zhao Zhuangzong, are you serious? Is this the girl you want us to play with? In fact, you want to give

me money for it?" One of the men with yellow-dyed hair eyed Jiang Yao from head to toe. "Not bad,

quite pretty too, looks like a decent girl. Let me see, what books do you have there?"

The man reached out, attempting to grab Jiang Yao's chest. She stumbled back anxiously and shouted,

"Zhao Zhuangzong, what do you think you're doing?"

Jiang Yao was calculating her chances. If she shouted, could the residents at the top of this slope hear

her calling for help?

Jiang Yao wasn't sure, so she carefully looked towards the road where she came from. She wondered

how likely it was that she could run back to the intersection to call for help.

"Surround her! She is as sly as a fox, don't let her run away!" Zhao Zhuangzong commanded after

noticing Jiang Yao's gaze. "This woman's skill is top-notch, her man finds her extremely pleasant. Go

ahead, enjoy your time with her, try and see how fun it is to do it with a spoiled and arrogant woman."

Despite knowing how barbarous Zhao Zhuangzong was, Jiang Yao was still taken aback by his filthy

language after tearing off his polite disguise.

Truth be told, some people were so great at disguising that they could deceive everyone. There were

some people in this world who were so despicable from the inside out.

Jiang Yao imagined how heartbroken Lu Yuqing would be if she saw Zhao Zhuangzong in this manner.

How blind she was to have fallen in love with this rogue.

"Zhao Zhuangzong, what do you want?" Jiang Yao could foresee that there was nowhere for her to

escape from these cold-blooded men.

"What do I want? Jiang Yao, you b*tch, how dare you ask me about what I want! It's all because of you

that I've ended up so miserable! I no longer have a place to go back to, the creditors are bugging me

day and night, I lost my job, I lost everything! Are you happy? Are you glad to see Lu Yuqing divorce

me and kick me out of the house, and me becoming a street mouse that people rant and rage at?"
