Chapter 83: Mother Huo’s Entrustment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Nan Qiao took the car to another detention center early in the morning.

Nan Zhi was inside.

She went in to visit with her ident.i.ty.

Nan Zhi was only separated from her by a layer of gla.s.s, looking so close and yet far away.

Nan Zhi knew that it must be Nan Qiao’s work that no family had come to see her after she’d been jailed for so long.

She hated Nan Qiao to death.

Locked up here, she could not do any of the missions issued by the System. She was like a cripple and would never be able to stand out again.

Nan Zhi, who was on the other side of the gla.s.s window, did not look to be having a good time. She had lost a lot of weight and there were still some bruises on her body. Her entire person was no longer radiant.

Nan Qiao picked up the communicator at the side, and Nan Zhi also picked up the communicator and placed it by her ear.

“Nan Qiao, are you just here to laugh at me? Are you very happy that you’ve succeeded now?” Nan Zhi was already a prisoner now. No matter how harsh her words were, there was no way to change this outcome.

“Yes, I’m very happy. I came today mainly to inform you of something. He Qian has been sentenced to death.”

Nan Zhi’s hand that was holding the communicator was trembling, her eyes unfocused. Her lips trembled for a long time, but she could not say a word, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

They did not say anything for a long time.

“Your mother wanted to avenge you, but coincidentally, I’ve also avenged my mother.” Nan Qiao enjoyed her current expression. She wanted to see her dejected and helpless appearance.

“You’re crazy.” Nan Zhi said with clenched fists.

In the past, all she could rely on was her mother who was still outside. But now that her mother was gone, she no longer had anyone to rely on. What would she do in the future?

Although her father used to dote on her very much, he had so many children. What did it matter if one child was gone? Soon, her father would not remember that he even had such a child. She was completely finished.

After learning that her mother had been sentenced to death, Nan Zhi’s heart ached terribly, as if she had been stabbed ruthlessly.

“I’m crazy, but that’s because you guys drove me crazy,” Nan Qiao said calmly.

“How did you humiliate me? You chased me out of the house and still refuse to let me off. You still tried to get people to rape me. Do you think I’ll forget!” Nan Qiao slapped the gla.s.s window, her eyes wide as she stared fixedly at the person inside.

“You…” Nan Zhi was so frightened that she almost fell down from her chair. “How did you know? Those things were not in your previous life…

You’ve been reborn? No wonder everything you did was so abnormal. You were actually reborn.” Tears streamed down Nan Zhi’s face. She had completely lost. She had lost because of her own conceit. She had lost because her opponent had hidden it too well and she did not notice it at all.

Nan Qiao didn’t care about Nan Zhi’s words because she had no intention of letting Nan Zhi leave the prison alive.

“The first one is you. The second one is your mother. Guess who the third target is?”

“You’re really crazy. That’s your father. How could you bear to do anything to him?” Nan Zhi only needed to go through everything in her mind to know who she was going to deal with next.

“If you want to talk of bullying, your elder brothers have also bullied you before. Are you going to take revenge against them too? They have the same blood flowing in their bodies as you. Can you bear to do it?” Nan Zhi’s face was still covered in tears as she questioned Nan Qiao with a loud laugh. The madness in her eyes was growing wantonly. She did not believe that Nan Qiao could really bear to do that.

Even if her mother was no longer around, her Big Brothers doted on her so much. As long as her Big Brothers were still around, she would go out one day!

Nan Qiao suddenly hung up the communicator. Through the cold gla.s.s window, she lifted her white pearl bag. There were pearls sewn on her pure white short skirt and a small coat. She was very beautiful and had the aura of a high-end socialite.

She turned around and brushed the hair behind her ear. She smiled and said, “Guess.”

“Come back, come back, come back!”

“Nan Qiao, come back!”

Nan Zhi slapped the gla.s.s with all her might and screamed, but her voice that was transmitted outside was very soft and could barely be heard.

Nan Zhi was tired from her exertion and leaned against the gla.s.s window, crying.

When Nan Qiao walked out of the detention center, she felt relieved, as if the resentment she had acc.u.mulated for a long time had suddenly been vented.

Her body relaxed a lot.

She turned around and went to the hospital, arriving at a familiar ward.

When Mother Huo saw Nan Qiao, her eyes lit up. This little girl used to wear her school uniform when she came in the past. Now that she was no longer wearing her school uniform, she looked beautiful.

“Little cla.s.smate, you’re here. Sit down, sit down.” Mother Huo was beaming with joy. She wanted to get Nan Qiao a stool, but she could not muster the strength to stand up. In addition, her hand was still attached to an IV drip.

“Auntie, don’t tire yourself. Rest well. I’ll do it myself.” Nan Qiao casually sat on a stool and looked around, but she didn’t see Huo Yichen.

“Chen Chen was called out by the doctor. He’s not back yet. Sit for a while.”

Being exposed like this, Nan Qiao felt a little embarra.s.sed. “Auntie, I’m here to talk to you. Who’s looking for him? It’s good that he’s not around. Otherwise, I’ll be chased out again.”

Nan Qiao said half-jokingly.

Mother Huo was not angry either. Usually, there was only her and her son in the ward. Her son was not a talkative person, and the entire ward felt lifeless. Now that there was an additional young lady to talk to her, the ward felt much more lively.

“My son is like that. Don’t mind him.”

Mother Huo sized up this girl from head to toe. Although Huo Yichen chased her out every time she came, he was never angry. From this, it could be seen that her son still liked this little girl very much.

The little girl was not bad. She was energetic and lively. She was the complete opposite of her quiet son. However, judging from this little girl’s clothes, her family background was probably not bad.

Sigh…

“Cough…” Mother Huo coughed a few times. Nan Qiao hurriedly patted her back. “Auntie, have some water.”

When Mother Huo put her hand down, Nan Qiao clearly saw blood on her palm.

“Hl call the doctor!” Nan Qiao wanted to ring the bell.

But she was stopped by Mother Huo.

“I know my body. I don’t have long to live. I’ve burdened Chen Chen all these years.” Mother Huo’s eyes were filled with sadness and pain. “If not for me, Chen Chen would probably be living better than he is now.”

“No! He won’t be better than he is now. The happiest thing is for his family to be by his side. Auntie, I won’t hide it from you. I lost my mother when I was young, so I understand the pain of not having a mother.

Huo Yichen is doing very well now. You’re not a burden to him.”

Seeing Mother Huo’s haggard and weak appearance, Nan Qiao felt sad. Her eyes gradually misted up, and she could not hide the bitterness in her heart.

“All these years, it’s been very difficult for a child like Chen Chen to bear the high costs of my medical fees. I watched my son become thinner day by day, but I could only lie on the bed like a cripple.”

Nan Qiao pursed her lips tightly and tried her best to suppress her emotions and not cry.

She wanted to comfort Mother Huo, but she did not know where to start.

“Little Qiao, I’m most worried about this son of mine. In the future, after I leave, can you help Auntie look after Chen Chen?”

“Alright, I promise you.” Nan Qiao lowered her head, not letting Mother Huo see the tears in her eyes.

Mother Huo’s condition is very bad now.. It sounded like she was entrusting her child to someone else…
