Chapter 457: Don’t Cry, It’s okay

Once upon a time, Zhao Manshi was like thousands of girls, hoping to marry the handsome Prince Charming and live a happy and happy life.1

But...

Zhao manshi thought desperately, but I, I am already so unbearable...

I am not worthy of a perfect marriage and love.

Zhao manshi thought to herself, I should just make do with this muddled life, at least I can still save the Zhao family who is in imminent danger.

“Young kids nowadays are always complaining about losing weight.”Tang Chunxiu quickly tried to smooth things over. “Manshi always thinks she’s fat. She says she wants to lose weight so that she can wear a beautiful wedding dress to marry you.”

Director Tang’s face was full of smiles.

He gently took Zhao Manshi’s hand and brought her to his relatives’side, as if he was showing them a product.

Zhao Manshi had a fake smile on her face the whole time, like a soulless puppet.

The two families met, and the engagement ceremony began.

Director Tang personally sent the expensive betrothal gifts to Tang Chunxiu and his wife. The betrothal gifts included all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, as well as cash from bank cards, which were very expensive. Tang Chunxiu’s face was about to burst out in laughter, and Zhao Jing was also overjoyed.

Director Tang was very good at putting on a facade. “The wedding will be held next month. Don’t worry, the two of you. I will definitely marry Manshi back to my Tang family in a glorious way.”

Tang Chunxiu and Zhao Jing nodded repeatedly.

“Wait --”

The garden gate was knocked open and Gu Manxi rushed over.

Zhao Manshi’s body stiffened. She slowly raised her head to look at the garden entrance. Everything around her seemed to be in slow motion.

Zhao Manshi saw her sister, who was wearing a bright red national costume, running toward her while shouting...

Zhao Manshi’s tears fell unexpectedly.

The other people in the garden all looked at this uninvited guest, who was strangely dressed but exceptionally beautiful, and whispered to each other.

“What are you doing here!”Tang Chunxiu looked unhappy.

Gu Manxi completely ignored Tang Chunxiu. She walked quickly to Zhao manshi, looked at Zhao Manshi’s clothes and then looked at the red betrothal gifts on the table, and suddenly realized that this should be an engagement ceremony.

Gu Manxi’s eyes were slightly hot. “Manshi, tell me honestly. That Wang Guy, did he... did he do something?”

Zhao manshi gritted her teeth. An unprecedented grievance surged in her heart.

Tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Manxi looked at her sister’s expression and understood everything.

Gu Manxi’s heart ached and she was angry. She could not help but reach out and hit Zhao Manshi’s arm. “What are you doing? Shouldn’t you go --”Gu Manxi did not say anything else, with so many pairs of eyes watching, Gu Manxi pulled Zhao manshi into the house.

Tang Chunxiu was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she quickly chased after her.

Director Tang did not understand.

Zhao Jing quickly tried to smooth things over. “This... This is actually my other daughter. She knows that her sister is getting married, so she might not be able to part with her. Everyone, please rest here first.”

...

In the living room.

Zhao Manshi was curled up on the sofa, her head drooping, and she looked sickly.

Gu Manxi saw her look and felt extremely distressed. Gu Manxi squatted in front of Zhao Manshi and held her hand. “Manshi! Shouldn’t you report this to the police? Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know how worried I was about you? !”

Zhao manshi sobbed and shook her head, unable to speak.

Tears fell down her cheeks.

Gu Manxi’s eyes were red. It had only been more than ten days since they last met, but Zhao Manshi had already lost a lot of weight. Her eyes were empty, and she was no longer as radiant as before.

Gu Manxi did not dare to imagine how much suffering she would have to go through these days.

Gu Manxi hugged her with a heartache. “Don’t cry. It’s okay.”
