The skies gradually darkened. Mei Feng stood outside the towering metal gate staring at the locked door, still stunned and in a daze.
This had been her home, but now she couldn’t even step inside.
She raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but she knew there was no one inside.
This courtyard that was full of life and vitality, this house for which she had struggled so many years to fill with her presence… They were no longer hers.
Why was this ending so different from what she had imagined it to be?
She had thought that when Shen Xiu died, everything would be hers.
It was only now she realized she was mistaken.
It was only if Shen Xiu was alive that she would be able to live here in peace. Once Shen Xiu was gone, she was homeless.
For the first time, she felt a deep remorse.
If she hadn’t just stood there and watched him die, but taken care of him and worked patiently to win back his heart, or even let him discover Xiao Wang’s real identity, then he and Shen Liangchuan would have fallen out completely.
Wouldn’t Shen Xiu have listened to her then?
What had she been thinking back then? How could she have even thought that good times would arrive for her if he died?
She felt lost and helpless as she stood there until 10 p.m. She had grown cold and hungry. It finally sank into her brain.
Dragging the three large suitcases, she walked to the main road next to the property and continued along it.
The property was huge and extensive, so everyday life had its inconveniences for sure.
She walked for a good half hour before she saw a public bus stop.
She stood there for what seemed like an eternity, but there were no taxis in sight. Eventually, dragging the suitcases again, she got onto a public bus.
It was past 10 p.m. and there were only a few people on the bus.
She sat on the bus, suddenly recalling a time more than ten years ago. She had arrived in Beijing alone. She had been one among the working class.
Every day, she would take the public subway and bus. And in her ordinary and busy life, she would envy the people who lived in those villas and manors.
However now…
She cast her gaze down.
She finally understood that wealth alone would not make one happy.
But the next moment, she was consumed by a raging hatred spawning within her.
If it hadn’t been because of Shen Liangchuan, Shen Zihao wouldn’t have fallen out with his father.
If it hadn’t been for Shen Liangchuan, Shen Xiu wouldn’t have fallen out with her.
Without Shen Liangchuan, she wouldn’t be in this plight.
Now she was like a vagabond, without a shelter at night.
Shen Liangchuan… Shen Liangchuan!
Why hadn’t she just ran over him with her car back then? Instead, she had killed that Soul Fighter, or whoever.
Her nails dug into the flesh of her palms as she curled her fingers tightly.
The bus entered the city. Dragging the three suitcases behind her once more, she found a five-star hotel and checked in.
Upon entering the room, she dropped on the huge bed and stared at the ceiling.
Now she had nothing.
Shen Xiu’s property business was destined to go bust.
And all she had in hand was less than ten million in cash.
What could this money do in the sprawling Beijing?
It couldn’t even get her an apartment.
She took a deep breath. What would she do now?
What would she do? The woes of survival caused her to stay up all night. She sat up and looked through her suitcases.
As she was rummaging through them, she suddenly saw an envelope with something in it. She opened it and saw the name of an eSports club: SX.
