Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Guest From the United States (1)

A distraught Cheng Qingyun was dragged out by a hotel security guard called by her father.

It was a huge drop from heaven to hell, nothing more.

But she didn’t feel that she was at fault. Was it wrong to pursue money and power? Was it wrong not to want to live in the slums? She was right to repeatedly kill others in order to get to the top! People were creatures that climbed higher. Water flowed to the bottom and people went to the top!

It was cold in the middle of the night and the rain poured down.

Cheng Qingyun was terrified and did not know where to go. In the huge capital, there was actually no place for her to stand. The last trump card she had secretly planned in the United States to protect herself had not appeared for a long time. The phone in her pocket beeped. She opened it and saw that it was Cao Yuezhi’s phone.

Cheng Qingyun thought sadly that at this time, only Cao Yuezhi still remembered him…

“Qingyun! I just finished filming the advertisement and saw the announcement of the annulment! What’s going on?” Cao Yuezhi’s anxious voice sounded.

Cheng Qingyun sat on the bench under the bus stop, her eyelashes wet. “Gu Chu is Song Chen’s child… Song Chen only wants Gu Manxi…”

“Is it raining over there? Where are you? I’m coming to pick you up.” Cao Yuezhi heard the pitter-patter of rain. “Qingyun, don’t get carried away. Where’s your address? I’m coming to pick you up!”

Cao Yuezhi was afraid and angry.

She knew her best friend’s personality. She was gentle and strong-willed. Song Chen breaking off the engagement was tantamount to slapping Cheng Qingyun’s face. What if she couldn’t think things through?

There was also Gu Manxi. She was still lingering around. She looked pure and innocent, but deep down, she had been planning to become the mistress of the Song family for a long time! Cao Yuezhi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Why was she still alive?!

“There’s no need. I want to be alone.” Cheng Qingyun hung up the phone.

It was late at night in August in the capital. The torrential rain was pouring down. The bus stop was crackling with bean-sized raindrops. The sky flickered between light and dark. Lightning and thunder were everywhere. Cheng Qingyun sat on the bench in a daze. She was not willing to accept this!

The drifting rain drenched her hospital gown. Her mind was still in a daze. She was still thinking about how to turn over.

Her vision darkened and thunder rumbled.

Cheng Qingyun fainted at the bus stop.

The cell phone in her pocket kept ringing non-stop.

Not long after, a pitch-black Bentley stopped in front of the bus stop. The door opened, and two bodyguards in suits hurriedly got out of the car. They helped Cheng Qingyun, who had fainted in the rain, up and sent her into the car.

“Quick, quick, quick, get dry towels and clean clothes! Bring the fever medicine over!” In the car, a beautiful lady in her forties was heartbroken. This poor little girl was wet all over and was still running a high fever.

The maid who was accompanying Cheng Qingyun in the car quickly came over and quickly changed Cheng Qingyun into clean clothes to dry the water stains. Then she fed her the fever medicine. While changing her clothes, the maid found the ruby necklace on Cheng Qingyun’s neck.

The maid respectfully dried the necklace and handed it to the lady. “Madam, look at this necklace.”

The lady took the ruby necklace and took out an old, yellowing photo from her bosom.

In the old photo, there was a young, loving couple and a teenage girl.

The little girl stood between her adoptive parents obediently. She wore a beautiful ruby necklace around her neck and held her parents’ hands with a smile. The noblewoman looked at the photo and then at the old ruby necklace in her hand. Her eyes instantly turned red:

“S-She is the one in the photo… it must be right. Qingyun is her adoptive daughter….”
