Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 905: Don’t Ask

Zhao Jingmiao’s crying threw Lei Xingjun into a panic, unsure of what to do.

He wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her, but after all, this was Zhao Jingmiao’s home. What if someone came in and saw them like this, would they beat him up?

Fine, let them beat me then.

Lei Xingjun gritted his teeth and just as he extended his hand, Zhao Jingmiao evaded it. "I... I’m not sick."

Her voice was terribly hoarse, as if she had damaged her throat.

Lei Xingjun felt even more heartbroken.

"Don’t come over, sit there and listen to me." She pointed to a chair a bit away from the bed, "I have something to say to you."

"Alright, go ahead." Lei Xingjun nervously sat down, placing his hands on his thighs properly.

Seeing how nervous he was, Zhao Jingmiao felt an even greater pang in her heart.

"I... can’t accept your proposal," Zhao Jingmiao said, biting her lip, keeping her hand inside the quilt tightly pinching her thigh to stay awake and not cry again.

"Wha... Why?" Lei Xingjun suddenly stood up, "Miao Miao, why? Is it because you’re sick? Don’t worry, I have money, I’ve saved a lot, I will definitely..."

"No," Zhao Jingmiao interrupted him, "I’m not sick."

Not sick? Then why?

"I..." Zhao Jingmiao opened her mouth but closed her eyes as a tear fell down.

She said nothing but started unbuttoning the top of her blouse.

"Miao Miao, what are you doing?" Lei Xingjun was startled by her actions, why was she undressing?

Was she injured?

"What’s wrong with you?" Her neck was covered in red spots.

He stood up, took a couple of steps, then stopped, looking at Zhao Jingmiao in shock.

Those things on her body...

Lei Xingjun recalled the scene that day at the factory gate when Wang Meili had a fight with someone. He happened to pass by and saw that Meili had been stripped. Her body also had these spots.

Lei Xingjun, being a young guy with no experience in this kind of thing, didn’t know what the red spots were at the time. But he had plenty of experienced colleagues.

Moreover, the incident with Wang Meili had stirred so much discussion it was talked about for a long time. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Even if Lei Xingjun didn’t want to know, he found out what those red spots meant.

"Who is it?" Lei Xingjun asked, his eyes red.

Then he thought of Liu Guozhu, who had been caught. What was there not to understand anymore? "It’s that scumbag Liu Guozhu!"

No one knew why Liu Guozhu had been arrested, but rumors said it was for something bad.

"Don’t ask anymore." Zhao Jingmiao covered her mouth, crying, "I’m sorry for letting you down. Don’t come looking for me in the future."

Lei Xingjun was nearly on the brink of losing control.

But looking at Zhao Jingmiao sobbing on the bed like a weeping statue, he couldn’t say a word.

Liu Guozhu!

Who would have thought that someone who seemed so honest and straightforward could do something so lower than a beast?

He had been too careless.

How could he have been so generous as to let him get close to Zhao Jingmiao?

"He’s gone, right?" Zhao Jingmiao lay in bed, staring blankly at the window. Gu Lingling replied with a hum, "Cousin, why don’t you come with me to the Capital City?"

Change the environment, then forget all this and start over.

"To the Capital City? What can I do there?" Her voice was somewhat distant.

"As long as you want, there are many things you can do." Gu Lingling said, "Cousin, the world outside is wonderful."

As long as she could take this step.

Everything would be alright!
