Chapter 749: What's the difference between this and a ghost story?

~7 min read 1,322 words

Coming out of the hotel, Shen Ci couldn't help but sigh again.

Gu Lianxing's mood was also very heavy. The little princess who grew up in a happy family had never seen such a miserable girl in reality.

That's right, the adjective that Lianxing's heart produced was "miserable".

She had only seen such things in TV dramas. She also knew that there were places in reality that still existed with the dross of patriarchal thought, but seeing it with her own eyes still shocked her greatly.

"Honey, this sister of yours is so pitiful. I'll send all the clothes I don't wear to her later."

Lianxing thought for a while and added: "Does she need money more now? I'll give her some money, it's on me."

Saying this, she was about to take out her phone.

Shen Ci pressed her down and shook her head: "Don't, no need."

"Polite with me? Your sister is my sister, and I really feel heartache for her."

Shen Ci sighed slightly and explained softly: "That's not what I mean. I also feel heartache for her, but I can't give her money directly."

"She now has an independent consciousness, which is very difficult for a girl. I can help her to a certain extent, but if I completely lift her life economically, that's not helping her, it's harming her."

"And although she is my eldest uncle's sister, I don't have the obligation to do that for her."

"She wants to rely on herself and is willing to rely on herself. I appreciate and support this very much. This is the most important reason why I am willing to help her, not just because of heartache."

Shen Min lived in an unfairness without love since she was a child, but she had the will to break free and escape, which was the most precious thing.

If she was just a pitiful person who accepted her fate, Shen Ci couldn't find a foothold for compassion.

Lianxing realized Shen Ci's meaning afterwards, but couldn't help worrying: "But she only has a high school diploma. In Longcheng, any decent job requires an undergraduate degree or higher. Although she is very strong, reality won't sympathize with or pity her. The harder road is still behind."

"We'll discuss the things behind later. I have to make Xiao Min's situation clear to my mother now." Shen Ci glanced at the time and turned to Lianxing: "Thank you today. Those clothes aren't cheap, but I won't be polite with you."

"They are all things I don't wear, and they take up space piled there. You're helping me."

Shen Ci smiled: "Then I'll go to my mother's side first."

"Alright, just tell me if you need my help later."

After the two separated, Shen Ci drove directly to "Jingjie". Her mother was at the branch store today.

In the office, Shen Yingying had just learned from her sister that Shen Min had secretly flown to Longcheng from the old home early in the morning.

"Ah? Then did A-Ci pick her up?"

"Picked her up. Said she took her to eat first, and then arranged her and would come over." Shen Jingjing couldn't help but sigh: "It's certain that Xiao Min suffered grievances at home. Just think about it when we were young."

Shen Yingying also fell silent.

When they were young, they were still in the rural area of Funan, where girls were even more despised. There were people in the village who often sold the girls in their families.

Her sister ran from the old home to Shengang to work at fifteen, and later took her there too. The two were considered to have left home early and escaped from that cage early, but the suffering and grievances they suffered from childhood to adulthood were probably something they would never forget in their lives.

This was also the main reason why the sisters were not close to their relatives in the old home.

Xiao Min was probably only going to be more bitter than them, not to mention twenty years, and there were three younger brothers below... It was really unimaginable...

Not long after, Shen Ci arrived. As soon as she entered the door, Shen Jingjing couldn't wait to ask her daughter: "Xiao Min? How is she?"

"I arranged for her to rest in the hotel." Shen Ci looked at her mother and aunt and shook her head helplessly: "You don't know, she came wearing only a jacket and thin shoes. If we didn't know, she would have been frozen numb after walking on the streets of Longcheng for ten minutes."

"Was it really running away secretly?" Shen Yingying asked.

Shen Ci nodded: "Dragged a huge suitcase, said she packed all her things."

The Shen Jingjing sisters couldn't help but look at each other with worried faces. Shen Yingying said: "Sister, if we don't send her back, can we afford the responsibility if something happens?"

Shen Jingjing also promised the old lady that she would send her back after picking her up, at most letting her play in Longcheng for two days.

At this time, Shen Ci said very seriously: "Mom, Aunt, Xiao Min can't go back. It'll be over if she goes back."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Ci told the two exactly what Shen Min had told her.

The experiences of not being valued were all within the sisters' predictions, because they had also experienced these as girls in the family when they were young, and Xiao Min definitely had only more, not less.

But when they heard about the college entrance examination, their faces were very ugly.

Shen Yingying slapped the table in anger: "How can this be? That's the most important thing in a child's life!"

Shen Jingjing also said: "I heard from the old lady that I thought Xiao Min didn't get into university because of poor grades. I didn't expect it to be like this. It's really too outrageous."

"Outrageous? There's even more outrageous." Shen Ci couldn't help but sneer: "Grandmother wants to marry Xiao Min off, saying it's a businessman in the old home, in his thirties and divorced."

"What?" The two said in unison, their eyes wide.

"Is this old lady crazy? How old is Xiao Min!" Shen Yingying was dumbfounded, so angry that her lips trembled and she couldn't say a second sentence.

Shen Jingjing was the direct victim of the old lady's blind date arrangement. She knew the old lady's personality too well. As long as there was money, everything was good.

"Mom, Aunt." Shen Ci suppressed the anger in her heart and softened her tone to look at the two: "Xiao Min is an adult and has an independent personality. She must have been unable to bear it and unwilling to accept her destiny to become like that, so she ran out. This requires great courage for her."

"If we send her back at this time, it is undoubtedly a pair of hands pushing her into the abyss of hell again. Then no one in this world will stand on her side, and she will be resisting the whole world alone for the rest of her life."

Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying couldn't help but look at each other.

If they sent Xiao Min back, the whole thing would be too terrible.

Two people who knew the misfortune of their original family and escaped from it, then personally sent another girl who also wanted to escape back.

What's the difference between this and a ghost story?

Just thinking about it made the sisters shudder.

"How to explain to the old lady?" Shen Yingying asked in a low voice.

Then she heard Shen Ci say: "No explanation is needed. Xiao Min is an adult. She is choosing her own path. Why explain to others?"

"Everything she has experienced and suffered since she was a child, who has given her an explanation?" ===== CHAPTER 750 =====
