Ling Chuxia’s delicate eyebrows furrowed deeply as a sense of unease gradually enveloped her.
All her money and phone were in her bag, and now she had no money, no phone, and didn’t even know where she was. This place was so remote, with no village or shop in sight. How was she going to get home?
Ling Chuxia stood helplessly for quite a while as time ticked by. She knew that Shi Che would not come back to fetch her. After all, he had been so angry just now. The look in his eyes was as if he wanted to devour her, so how could he possibly come back for her?
She could only think of her own way, otherwise... when darkness fell, her cries for help would only fall on deaf ears.
But what could she do now?
Ling Chuxia frowned and thought for a long time. In those TV shows, in such situations, the female lead would usually stretch out her long legs, seductively lure passing drivers to stop, and then have someone give her a ride.
But this was something she could absolutely not do, so the only thing she could think of was to borrow a phone from someone and call someone to come pick her up.
She looked at the roadside sign, which indicated a gas station five hundred meters ahead. As long as she reached the gas station, she could ask someone to lend her a phone.
Once Ling Chuxia set her goal, she walked in the indicated direction and quickly reached the gas station. At the gas station, a few staff members were standing around scatteredly.
Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She lifted her foot and walked towards a young man in uniform, explaining her situation. The young man readily lent her his phone.
Ling Chuxia held the phone and reviewed all the numbers she could remember in her mind.
The most familiar number, naturally, was Shi Che’s cell phone number, but she couldn’t call Shi Che. The second most familiar was the old residence’s number, but she also couldn’t call the old residence. Mrs. Shi was already quite displeased with her. If Mrs. Shi found out that Shi Che had left her midway, Mrs. Shi would be even less tolerant of her.
With the most familiar numbers out of reach, Ling Chuxia had no idea who to call for help.
She had grown up in the Shi Family. As a child bride of the Shi Family, her range of activities was confined to the Shi Family’s big house. She could count the people she knew on her fingers, and almost all of them were from the Shi Family—people she couldn’t currently seek help from.
Ling Chuxia was rather troubled. Did she have to call the police and have them bring her home?
As Ling Chuxia was worrying, she suddenly glanced at a large poster hanging at the gas station. The woman on the poster had fair skin and beautiful features. Her lazy posture was elegant. Under the sunlight, she seemed to glow and was very eye-catching.
Seeing this, Ling Chuxia’s eyes suddenly lit up. She finally found someone she could call for help.
