Chapter 375
It was a pity that ‘if’ never existed. Sheng Lian’s matter had become a definite fact and he had completely lost the chance to harm Ye Zhi.
Against Ye Zhi’s question, Sheng Lian couldn’t help but lower his head. When he really saw Sheng Luo reflected in her gaze, he didn’t know how to respond.
Sheng Lian was escorted into the police car while Ye Zhi and Gu Ren got into their own car, ready to go home.
The police car whizzed away, and when Ye Zhi leaned on the seat, she felt that everything was still very surreal.
Gu Ren sat in the driver’s seat. Once the door was closed, the whole car had become a closed space as it was extremely quiet. In the next second, the back of Ye Zhi’s hand was covered with a warm touch. She turned her head to the side and saw Gu Ren leaning slightly in her direction.
“It’s all settled; I am here.”
The looming light in the distance illuminated the interior of the car as the mountains and trees in the distance also reflected the chilling glow of the moonlight.
The cold moon added another stroke to Gu Ren’s sharp and clear silhouette. It caused his already tender words to resonate warmly in Ye Zhi’s ears and became engraved into her heart.
The spring night was expected to be rough, but the temperature under Gu Ren’s hands kept soothing her own, slowly but surely warming her own cold fingers.
Ye Zhi suddenly thought of the various ways she and Gu Ren got along. There were many ordinary acts in their daily lives, but like a scorching star, those actions burned all the way to her heart.
Ye Zhi suddenly felt a little scared. As long as she thought of Sheng Lian’s gun being aimed at Gu Ren, her heart throbbed painfully.
She didn’t dare to imagine the other way things would have developed had there been any mishaps.
The corners of Ye Zhi’s eyes stung slightly with brimming tears, but she didn’t want Gu Ren to see it. She held Gu Ren’s hand and gently pressed her face into his palm, expressing her feelings that were full of attachment.
Gu Ren was aware of Ye Zhi’s vulnerability at this moment. He also knew what she was thinking, but chose to tacitly remain silent about it.
After a while, they set off, eager to head home.
And once they returned, Ye Zhi made a phone call to Nie Jiqing.
Ever since Ye Zhi and Gu Ren decided to implement this plan, Nie Jiqing started to panic as she mentally prepared herself for the worst. Tonight especially, was tense as Nie Jiqing and Sheng Yu had been standing in front of the phone, waiting for Ye Zhi to call them.
“Mom, Gu Ren and I are both safe.”
Ye Zhi changed the way she addressed Nie Jiqing. The first time she used that term, Nie Jiqing didn’t know how to stop her tears from overflowing.
Every time she heard it, it gave her great comfort; this moment was no exception.
Nie Jiqing was relieved now— she didn’t want her daughter to suffer any longer. Everything was on track now, and from now on, things will only get better and better.
The next day, the Sheng family immediately held a press conference.
All the reporters were notified and rushed to the venue directly. Recently, due to the news of Sheng Man being an adopted daughter, the Sheng family was at the centre of attention. Netizens immediately flocked to the live broadcast room to watch.
The crowd of reporters suddenly filled the entire venue.
“The frequency of the Sheng family’s appearances has been a bit high recently. What’s the news this time? Is it possible that you are going to reveal your biological daughter’s identity?”
“Didn’t you say that your biological daughter was still missing? Or could she have been found by now?”
“If your real daughter comes back, do you think Sheng Man can remain in the entertainment industry? It would be way too awkward for her, wouldn’t it?”
