Chapter 50: Hong Xiaobei’s story (Part 2) (2/2)

Although the orphanage was no longer ran by the same director, the current director was able to go through the old records to prove that she was indeed an adopted child. The parents she had loved all these years were not her biological parents.

Another reality was that she had a twin sister elsewhere who was living a luxurious life.

Hong Xiaobei was resentful, jealous, and bitter. After all, she was human.

After a series of psychological shock, Hong Xiaobei could no longer handle it. Her grades began to deteriorate. Within three months, Hong Xiaobei went from a good student to a delinquent girl. Every night, she would drink at a bar until she was intoxicated. She wandered around the streets like a walking corpse.

“Hey gorgeous, you look so pretty. Wanna go somewhere nice with me?” A bunch of hooligans had been eyeing on Hong Xiaobei for a while. One day, they finally decided to make a move on her.

“Who are you guys? Get away from me!” Hong Xiaobei slurred as she swayed and irritably tried to push the men away. Her stomach began to overturn and she violently vomited into a corner.

An arm aggressively pulled her by the shoulder and forcefully grabbed her clothes as he slapped Hong Xiaobei across the face. Hong Xiaobei saw stars and fell over a garbage can.

“You dare to act smug towards me?” The man that had struck Hong Xiaobei appeared to be furious that she had disregarded him.

“Release me! You guys, release me!” The guys were planning to carry Hong Xiaobei away. Although she tried her best to break out of their grasps, it was no use. Her body was so soft and weak at the moment. She wasn’t able to control it.

Hong Xiaobei felt like she had been abandoned by God her entire life. Is this the end of her difficult life?

“Hey guys, where do you think you’re taking my girlfriend? Taking others’ girlfriend without permission isn’t a good idea!”

Hong Xiaobei wondered who her savior was. He wasn’t afraid to get killed? With the help of the weak lighting, Hong Xiaobei recognized Kevin. Once she did, she excitedly yelled, “Kevin!? Is that you?! Come save me! Hurry! They beat me up. I’m in pain….”

The intoxicated Hong Xiaobei didn’t care about the time or setting as she drunkenly sat down and pointed to her leg. She was acting all cute in front of Kevin.

“Because you’re acting so flirty, I’m going to safely take you away even if I end up like a pig head.” Kevin hopelessly smiled. Then, he took off his jacket and stretched his limbs.

Why is it that he couldn’t let go of this girl?

In the silent night, at the corner of an unknown alley, were sounds of fighting. While Kevin was busy fighting the hooligans, Hong Xiaobei had crawled over to a corner to vomit some more.

“I feel terrible…” With difficulties, Hong Xiaobei held onto the wall for support and stood up. Just as she was about to run, she turned around and noticed that all the hooligans were on the ground. “Huh? You beat them all?! Not bad! I didn’t expect you to win….”

“Your words make me so sad. Because of you, I am wounded. Is this how you treat your savior?” Kevin pointed to his injuries and teased.

Hong Xiaobei ignored him like she didn’t hear. She pretended nothing happened and swayed towards the direction of her home.

“Where are you going? I saved you and you didn’t even say thank you!?” Kevin grabbed onto Hong Xiaobei as he asked.

“Oh, um. Thanks.” Hong Xiaobei sounded extremely insincere. Kevin was infuriated but he couldn’t blame her. After she had left that day, he secretly investigated her background. He knew what she had gone through. He couldn’t help but pity her. So how could he be mad?
