I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

422 Her Light

Mother Rong started and stared at Shen Ruojing in puzzlement. “Who can she be? She can’t possibly be the eldest young miss of the Shen Family, right?”

Just when Chu Cichen wanted to speak, someone suddenly ran out of the ward. “Lord Jing, the patient has awakened!”

This interrupted Chu Cichen’s explanation.

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she immediately looked at Rong Rong. “Sis Rong, you have my WeChat; let’s keep in contact frequently. I’ve some urgent matters to handle…”

Rong Rong immediately replied, “Go ahead and get busy with your stuff.”

Shen Ruojing nodded and led Chu Cichen to the ward.

After the two of them left, Mother Rong coldly laughed. “Look at what she is being addressed as. Lord Jing? How can this young woman be from a good family? You should stay further away from her!”

Rong Rong looked at Mother Rong and said, “She is Little Jing.”

Mother Rong sneered. “What Little Jing…”

After she said this, she suddenly paused as she abruptly understood something. She looked at Rong Rong and asked, “She is that child who was kidnapped together with you back then?”

Rong Rong lowered her head and clenched her fingers tightly.

Back when she was 15 years old, she was kidnapped and relocated to the mountains. At that time, in order to make her obedient, the mountain people locked her in an underground cave, wanting to

frighten her.

In the dark cave, another little girl was locked up together with her.

It was the 11-year-old Shen Ruojing.

It was located deep in the mountains and forests, and the area was so destitute that there wasn’t even a path. Every day, there would be people tossing a piece of cornbread down, and they were both cold and hungry.

This was especially so during the night when the cold mountain wind gusted. The sound of the wind sounded like the wails of vicious ghosts, and it made her feel so much panic and dread that she covered her ears.

Just when she was about to break down mentally, an icy small hand held her hand.

Rong Rong lifted her head and saw a small girl looking at her. The girl’s voice was cold but calming. She said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Rong Rong’s fearful heart gradually became at ease.

However, her stomach produced rumbling sounds. Hence, she hugged her knees and silently lowered her head as tears flowed out of her eyes. She said, “Little sister, it is so dark in here. I’m afraid and want to go home…”

After that, a piece of cornbread appeared before her.

It was too dark, so Rong Rong wasn’t able to see what the cornbread looked like. But after sniffing it, she could smell the faint fragrance of wheat, so she forcibly endured the disgust and ate a mouthful.

She almost vomited as she had never eaten coarse food before.

She then glanced to the side.

After her eyes got acclimatized to the darkness, she could faintly see the little girl eating bit by bit under the faint moonlight. She understood that if she didn’t eat, she wouldn’t be able to survive.

So, Rong Rong endured the pain in her throat and swallowed the bread.

After eating two bites and just when she wanted to continue, the girl beside her spoke, “Don’t finish it so quickly.”

Rong Rong asked, “Why?” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

The girl explained, “We only have one per day.”

Rong Rong then saw the girl keeping the rest of her cornbread inside her clothes.

Rong Rong learned from her and kept the cornbread as well before asking, “Little sister, how long has it been since you were imprisoned here?”

The girl replied, “Half a year.”

Rong Rong was immediately stunned. “You were locked up here for half a year?”

“But you won’t be.”

The girl calmly explained, “I’m too young, so I won’t be able to fetch a good price. This is why they’ll have to wait until my menses comes at around 13 years old. As for you, you will probably be purchased in at most a month.”

Rong Rong shivered.

She hugged her knees tightly again. “I…I’m from the Rong Family of the capital! They can call my father and get him to ransom me. He will be able to afford it no matter how much they ask!”

After saying that, she looked at the little girl. “Little sister, don’t be afraid as well. I’ll get my father to ransom you out.”

However, the girl replied, “They won’t do that.”

The little girl was clearly younger than her, but she was much calmer. She slowly continued, “These people here aren’t able to find wives. If they allow someone to ransom you back, no one will sell any more females to their village. Hence, the hearts of the villagers are very united.”

Hearing this, Rong Rong panicked.

Her entire body started trembling.

At this moment, the wolf-like wails rang out from outside again.

Rong Rong cowered in the corner in fright, but even so, she still stretched out a trembling hand to her. “Little sister, are you afraid? I can hug you.”

“I’m not afraid.”

The 11-year-old Shen Ruojing lifted her tiny face which was filled with dirt. But she was hugging a radio in her hands. Her eyes were gleaming as a smile could be seen on her face. “I have a source of light.”

Rong Rong started. “What?”

“He said his name is Chu Cichen.”

…

…

“In that case, you should stay further away from her!”

In the hospital, Mother Rong’s voice pulled Rong Rong back from her memories.

Mother Rong was badly anxious. “The people of our Rong Family will keep this secret for you no matter what. However, you cannot mention it as well. Since she knows about it, you should distance yourself from her or she might talk nonsense to outsiders!”

However, Rong Rong ignored her.

She lowered her head to mask the complex look in her eyes.

Being kidnapped and sold, almost becoming a tool to give birth. She was not in the wrong for all of these!

Even for killing…she had only done that for the sake of escaping.

She just hadn’t expected the poison to be so powerful, allowing her to kill 13 men in one go. She was then judged to have over-retaliated in self-defense and was sentenced to 13 years in prison…

But why did everyone in the world feel that she was the one in the wrong? Why did they feel that she was shameful? Weren’t those kidnappers the despicable ones?

They deserved their deaths!

“Enough, don’t waste time here. You should quickly meet with Doctor Xu. It’s already so late, but he is still working. How tired must he be? Give him the soup to display your gentleness and care. I’m sure that he would be very happy!”

Mother Rong urged her again.

Rong Rong silently sighed and took the soup flask as she walked to Doctor Xu’s treatment room.

Regardless of whether her mother wanted to quickly marry her out or was sincerely doing this for her own good, Rong Rong had a thought in her heart. What she should do now was to forget the past and start her life anew.

Little Jing had once said that they should never turn back.

In that case, she should simply date, get married, and give birth…living an ordinary but happy life.

Mother Rong followed Rong Rong, and they soon arrived at Doctor Xu’s treatment room. After knocking on the door, Mother Rong laughed. “Doctor Xu, are you still busy with your work despite it being so late? Little Rong said you must be tired, so she came and brought some soup for you.”

Doctor Xu lifted his head and was a man with gentle features. However, how he observed Rong Rong made her feel very uncomfortable. It was like she was a piece of merchandise to be chosen.

Doctor Xu then retracted his gaze and stood up. “Little Rong, it has been hard on you.”

After he said this, the phone on his desk rang. So, he picked up the call and the hospital dean’s voice rang out. “Doctor Xu? Are you the one on duty tonight? I just received a piece of news. The eldest young miss of the Shen Family brought her friend to be warded in our hospital. You should show her more concern!”

Doctor Xu started. “The eldest young miss of the Shen Family? Are you talking about the Shen Family that owns this hospital?”

“Correct. Her friend’s ward is 403. If you are free, you should head over to see if you can provide any help.”

Doctor Xu’s eyes gleamed. “Dean, don’t worry. I’m going immediately!”

If he could gain the favor of the Eldest Young Miss from the Shen Family, his future would be boundlessly brilliant!

Mother Rong seemed to have overheard the conversation. She hurriedly spoke, “Doctor Xu, let us go with you. Our Rong Family and the Shen Family are best allies through the generations. We can go over and greet her too.”

Doctor Xu lifted his chin slightly and swept his glance at Rong Rong before arrogantly nodding. “Alright then.”
