Chapter 116 Is the tragedy of the previous life about to repeat itself?
Xinyu was in a state of conflicting emotions and felt extremely frightened.
“Xinyu, no, I won’t leave you. Believe me, I’ve said it before, I will never leave you.”
Afraid that his girlfriend would overthink things, Lu Yuan quickly hugged her tightly. He looked apologetically at Chu Xinglan and said to her, "Miss Chu, I don't have anything to offer you. You should go back."
Chu Xinglan nodded, and before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at the two people with a strange look.
Destroying what he cherishes seems to drive him to despair more than destroying him outright. Since he caused her to lose her child, he will make him lose his beloved girlfriend and let him experience the feeling of heartbreak!
"Hey, baby, where are you?"
Just as Chu Xinglan stepped out of Lu Yuan's residence, she received a call from her best friend Shu Weiting.
"I'm filming on set."
"Film crew? What film crew? Whose film crew?"
"Director Huang."
"Director Huang? My God, that's a famously talented director! You actually got into his film?"
“It’s him. I happen to have someone who knows him, so they introduced me.” Chu Xinglan smiled.
Although Shu Weiting is supposed to be a lady from a respectable family, she is not quite ladylike enough. She gets easily startled by the slightest thing, which makes her too unsteady and unladylike.
"Are you thinking of pursuing a career as an actor?"
"No, it's just temporary. I haven't made any plans for my future yet."
Chu Xinglan walked and talked.
"No, baby, what exactly are you trying to do? One minute you're a junior office worker, the next a student, and then suddenly you're off filming a movie."
"I... I just wanted to experience all walks of life!" Chu Xinglan said playfully.
"Do whatever you want. I was going to bring you some dessert, but it seems you won't get to enjoy it. I'll just have to eat it myself."
Upon hearing that Shu Weiting had brought her dessert, Chu Xinglan couldn't help but glance at the little baby blinking beside her.
She was so preoccupied with revenge that she hadn't bought sweets to feed the baby in ages.
"Alright, that's all for now." Chu Xinglan hung up the phone and prepared to go buy a cake for the baby.
Just then, four or five drunk men passed by. When they saw Chu Xinglan, they shamelessly came up to chat her up.
"Little sister, where are you going to play? Do you want your brothers to come with you?"
Chu Xinglan didn't want to pay attention to them and tried to take a detour, but they stopped her again.
"Why aren't you saying anything? It's dangerous for a girl like you to be alone. Your brothers will protect you."
"No, thank you!" Chu Xinglan sensed that they were not easy to mess with, so she spoke politely, trying her best not to offend them.
"Why wouldn't we want it? There aren't many people around here. What if we run into bad guys?" One of them chuckled, his breath reeking of alcohol.
Chu Xinglan felt that they were the bad guys, and if they stayed with her, she couldn't guarantee that something bad might happen.
She covered her nose with her hand to avoid the smell of alcohol, and lowered her head, trying to walk past them again.
The group of people, arm in arm, continued to sway and block Chu Xinglan's path.
"Little sister, don't blame your brother for not warning you, this area is not safe, there are a lot of perverts."
At this moment, someone started touching Chu Xinglan inappropriately while talking.
Chu Xinglan subconsciously took a step back.
"Little sister, don't hide!"
The man grabbed Chu Xinglan's wrist and pulled her to his side, and the others immediately moved closer to Chu Xinglan as well.
"That's right, she's quite beautiful and has a great figure, like a big star!"
As they talked, these people began to grope Chu Xinglan.
"Get away from me." Chu Xinglan was terrified by their actions. She tried to push them away, but they took it as a joke and laughed even more unrestrainedly. Chu Xinglan looked at the drunken men around her and angrily slapped each of them hard across the face.
The men who had been slapped suddenly became more alert, staring at Chu Xinglan with terrified eyes.
Chu Xinglan was terrified. Taking advantage of the fact that the men hadn't recovered yet, she turned and ran. However, she hadn't gone far when she was caught by one of the men wearing a gold chain. The man grabbed Chu Xinglan's wrist with one hand and touched his face with the other, his eyes filled with a terrifying look.
"Damn it, you bitch, I've never been hit by anyone before, how dare you hit me?"
As the man spoke, he raised his hand to slap Chu Xinglan across the face.
Chu Xinglan instinctively turned her face away.
But the man's hand didn't come down; instead, his companion stopped him.
"Why did you hit her? What will you do if you ruin such a pretty face?" He stared at Chu Xinglan with a lecherous look.
Then they all let out a strange laugh. Chu Xinglan sensed something was wrong. At this moment, the others were also looking at Chu Xinglan with lustful eyes. She was like a little lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves.
The man with the gold chain revealed his evil nature, staring at Chu Xinglan with a cold, sneer.
"I didn't expect you to have such a fiery temper, actually hitting us. This isn't over yet."
“Yes, they must compensate us,” another man said.
"What do you want?" Chu Xinglan's heart trembled.
These guys look like a bunch of good-for-nothing thugs who probably bully men and women all the time. If Chu Xinglan runs into them, she's likely in grave danger.
"What do we want? Isn't it obvious?" The men laughed even more rudely when they saw Chu Xinglan's fearful and timid appearance.
"Don't do anything rash, or I'll call the police." Chu Xinglan bluffed, trying to scare them.
The men exchanged glances, but didn't seem to care.
"Call the police? Do you think we'd be scared?"
"We're not easily intimidated. You try calling one of them if you dare!"
The men laughed arrogantly, enjoying the feeling of instilling fear in others.
One of the men walked up to Chu Xinglan, snatched the bag from her shoulder, and took the cell phone and some loose cash inside.
"Didn't you want to call the police? Here, take it, go ahead and call the police!" The man played with Chu Xinglan's phone and handed it to her with a smile.
Chu Xinglan wasn't stupid. If she really called the police in front of them, she would probably be killed by these people before the police even arrived. Therefore, the only way to save her life was to avoid provoking them and making them feel threatened.
"What, I gave you a chance to call the police, why are you afraid now?" the man sneered.
Chu Xinglan looked around. It was around eight o'clock in the evening. Although the streets were brightly lit and bustling with people, her location was somewhat remote. Apart from some trees, there was no one around. If they really wanted to do something to her, she would be dragged into the woods and would probably be left with no one to call for help.
Will her past life's experiences repeat themselves today? Even in this second life, will she still be unable to escape the fate of being defiled in countless ways?
