Chapter 57: Weird Family (2/2)
Although Zhao Xiaotao felt painful, she didn’t cry this time.
“I cannot save her, nor can I marry her,” said An Rushuang slowly, “But I can offer her an opportunity. As long as she seizes the opportunity, she could at least decide her own fate in the future.”
No one can change others’ fate. People can only change their own fates. But sometimes it’s hard to grab the fleeting opportunity.
“Who are you on earth?” said the woman in black cloak with confusion. But at the same time, her heart was filled with hope and excitement. She kept asking herself how this kidnapped man could spare Big Zhao easily under this circumstance. How could he help Xiaotao live a normal life?
Despite all these questions, she was still hoping it to be true.If so, her daughter Xiaotao no longer needed to live such a horrible life; she could marry a good man and have her children in the future. If it’s true…if she was lucky enough to live longer, she could probably see her little grandson…
It was indeed hard for her to reject all these good intentions.
“I bet you know that the Royal Inspector has just arrived in the capital. I am…” coughed An Rushuang. She suddenly realized that she was dressed in man’s suit. “I am An Ruo, the nephew of the Royal Inspector.”
“I bet you are also aware of the consequences of kidnapping relatives of the Royal Inspector. However, I will not blame you this time as Xiaotao was a good girl in nature.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotao stared at An Rushuang with eyes wide open. “Are… are…you really…” she stammered.
Nodding her head, An Rushuang thought at this time she couldn’t reveal she was actually a girl. It was fine to let An Ruo take the credit.
After a long while, the woman in black nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “Ok, I agree…”
Before saying the full sentence, she was badly hit by a shoe on her scarred face. Suddenly she screamed out and the mask on her face fell down on the ground. A horrible face with burnt brown scars was revealed. Her mouth was open, with teeth outside. Realizing this, the woman quickly picked up the mask and covered her ferocious face.
“Humph, how dare you, bitch!”
Then a burly man strode inside with a repulsive smell of liquor. He shouted at Zhao Xiaotao, “Get me the shoe!”
Seeing this, An Rushuang was totally shocked. The woman did not dare to say a word, buckling towards the man while Zhao Xiaotao also knelt down crawling on the ground to grab the shoe.
They were not family members at all. It was like two menial servants serving a tyrant. No! Even servants would not be as humble as that.
The man looked exactly like a scoundrel. No peasant would be as vicious as he was.
Feeling An Rushuang’s gaze, the man turned to her all of a sudden, stared at her before moving his eyes to her fair neck, and laughed.
“But I heard that the Royal Inspector did not bring his nephew here! He only has a daughter living in the capital…”
