C288 Teardrop of Gratitude

"You, where are you taking me? Could it be that Jing Sung has already paid the ransom, and you all want to let me go back? " Ye Faang's head was covered by a black cloth, so she couldn't see the scenery outside. She only knew that the kidnapper had pulled her up from the ground and stuffed her into the car.

The man didn't answer her and just drove on. The car drove very fast, and Ye Faang felt a little uncomfortable. After a few quick turns, Ye Faang vomited a few times. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything for more than a day, so she didn't vomit.

Seeing that no one had answered her question, Ye Faang could only shut her mouth in embarrassment. She had been starved for more than a day without a drop of water on her body. Now, she was completely drained of energy from starvation. At this moment, all he could do was sit on the back seat and listen to the sounds coming from his stomach.

The car slowly stopped. Ye Faang sat up in excitement and asked, "Where's Jing Sung? Did she come to pick me up? "

The man sneered and said, "If you want Jing Sung to pick you up, then call her. Just wait here for her!"

With that, the man untied the rope from Ye Faang's hand and mercilessly pushed her out of the car. As her body rubbed against the ground, Ye Faang felt a burning pain on her leg. Then, the man threw an item towards Ye Faang's body.

Before Ye Faang could take off her hood, the car had already left in a cloud of dust.

Ye Faang took off the hood she was wearing and looked around. The surroundings were a little remote, and there was a huge difference from the bustling city. Only a family could be seen from afar, and there were sparse lights shining. These kidnappers, they actually left her in such a shitty place!

Ye Faang was slightly angry in her heart. She picked up the phone on the floor and was about to call Soong Shiyan, but she found that her phone was out of battery!

Seeing this, Ye Faang could not help but feel worried. What should she do now? If she couldn't contact Jing Sung, then she could only walk step by step back? However, even if she were to return, she should at least know the route! She was in a completely unfamiliar place, and without a map, how was she going to get there?

Looking at the dark and secluded countryside, Ye Faang sat dejectedly by the roadside, stroking her wound. She blew the dust around the wound, and her heart was filled with resentment — these people truly didn't know how to care for a woman.

So hungry! Ye Faang hugged her stomach. She felt so hungry that she wanted to pull some grass from the roadside to eat — how about staying at a nearby house for the night? With that thought, Ye Faang struggled to her feet and limped towards the light.

Before they reached the house, the owner's dog was barking wildly. Under the moonlight, Ye Faang saw the dog walk around the dam without a rope. For a moment, a troubled expression appeared on Ye Faang's face. Could it be that this dog wanted to bite people?

However, she was tired, hungry, and sleepy. She really couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't wait to eat a bowl of rice and get a good night's sleep. After a moment of hesitation, Ye Faang bravely walked towards the house. The owner's dog barked even louder, as if trying to catch the owner's attention.

"About that …" Ye Faang stood by the wall of the house, cleared her throat, and was about to speak when the dog leapt out like a madman, opened its mouth, bared its sharp teeth, and lunged at Ye Faang.

Seeing the situation, Ye Faang was so frightened that she retreated a few steps. She wanted to turn around and run away, but her legs couldn't run even four feet, so before she could run two meters, the dog bit her thigh.

"AHH!" In the silence of the night, there was a tinge of sadness.

The mistress of the house was shivering in her bed, holding her child in her arms. Tonight, her husband was not at home. She and her child were alone. Her child needed to nurse in the middle of the night, so she turned on the light and prepared to feed the baby. But as soon as she had fed, the dogs in the house began to bark. Hearing the movement outside the house, she thought that a thief had set his eyes on her house. Especially after hearing the two ghostly wails and the wolf howls, she became even more afraid. Therefore, she had locked the door tightly and did not intend to go out at all.

Ye Faang saw that the dog did not loosen its jaws and that her thigh was also bleeding. The pain made her face turn pale. For a moment, Ye Faang's survival instinct overcame the fear in her heart. She swallowed, grabbed the dog, and bit down on its body. The smell of animal fur filled her nostrils and mouth.

The dog was probably shocked as well – after all, it was common for dogs to bite people, but when a dog was bitten, it had never heard of it before and had never seen it before! But now, this had actually happened to it. So, in a panic, the dog let go of his mouth, then returned to the wall, curled up in the corner of the doorway, and licked the wounds on his body.

Ye Faang saw the dog return to the door. She covered the wound on her leg with one hand and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with the other. She then walked slowly towards the door of the house. He hoped that the owner of the dog would let her stay the night because his dog had bitten her.

However, Ye Faang was tired and hungry at the moment. Coupled with the wounds on her leg, she didn't have a single ounce of strength left in her body. Even her head felt heavy. Ye Faang had just walked to the door and was about to knock on it when she lost all consciousness and slowly fell to the ground.

When the dog at the door saw that Ye Faang had fainted, it too fell asleep with relief.

… ….

When Ye Faang woke up, what entered her eyes was a group of people: men and women, young and old. Seeing that she had woken up, the group of people began to point at her.

Ye Faang struggled to get up, but she was already feeling uncomfortable. Now, after a night's sleep in the brightly lit dam, her head was heavy and her legs were light. It was as if she was stepping on cotton.

"Why are you lying in someone else's dam in the middle of the night? Are you a thief? " a middle-aged woman asked when she saw Ye Faang waking up.

Ye Faang followed the middle-aged woman's gaze and saw a young woman standing at the door with a child in her arms. She looked at Ye Faang with a cautious expression, as if she was still in a state of shock.

From the looks of it, this woman was the owner of the house. Ye Faang looked at the woman, took out her cell phone and ordered, "You, go and get my cell phone to power up."

Although Ye Faang was weak, she was still energetic when she ordered people to come here.

Seeing that, the surrounding people were somewhat angry, and asked with an unkind tone, "Who do you think you are? "You even want to tell people to stay here — I tell you, if you don't explain, we'll call the police right away!"

Hearing this, Ye Faang couldn't help but feel worried in her heart. That year, after she left the country, she never returned. Right now, she had also snuck back into the country. If she were to be found out, who knew what the consequences would be. Therefore, although Ye Faang was dissatisfied, she still explained, "I was kidnapped and left here in the middle of the night. I wanted to find a place to stay for the night and come here — but the dog bit me. " With that, Ye Faang pointed at the wound on her thigh, so that the crowd could see.

Upon seeing this, a trace of guilt appeared on the face of the house's mistress. Just as she was about to take the phone from Ye Faang and charge it, she was stopped by someone beside her. "Who knows if that woman is here to steal something, or what she wants?"

Seeing this, Ye Faang felt a bit angry. She looked at the house's owner and said, "Take my phone, recharge it and make a call to 'Jing Sung' in the contact list. You'll know if what I said is true or not!"

… ….

An hour and a half had passed since Ye Faang and Tiankui were discovered.

Ye Faang was sitting on a chair by the door, her face pale as she wolfed down the noodles in the bowl. She accidentally choked until her face turned red. She had already suffered some injuries, but now, with this coughing, she felt like her lungs were about to burst.

Seeing that Soong Shiyan had reached this point, Ye Faang couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears began to fall profusely from her eyes.

"Jing Sung, you finally came — —" Ye Faang put the bowl aside and stood up quickly. She walked over to Soong Shiyan with tears in her eyes and held her hand as she said with tears in her eyes.

Soong Shiyan's heart also ached when she heard this. She looked at Ye Faang and said sadly, "Mother, it's only been two nights. You've lost so much weight already!"

Tiankui, who was standing beside Soong Shiyan, couldn't help but find it funny — what Soong Shiyan said was a bit exaggerated. Aside from the fact that Ye Faang's face was a bit pale and her body was a bit weaker, she didn't seem to have lost even a bit of weight.

"Mother, what's going on? What's wrong with your leg? " Soong Shiyan asked with concern as she caught sight of the white cloth wrapped around Ye Faang's thigh from the corner of her eye.

"That dog did it," Ye Faang said indignantly. "Last night, I was left behind by that person and my phone was out of battery, so I wanted to stay here for the night. "Who would've thought that this dog would go crazy and open its mouth to bite — I'll have to go to the hospital and get a mad dog vaccine later!"

Hearing Ye Faang's words, the owner of the house had an embarrassed look on his face. However, he didn't know what to say, so he held the child and stood uneasily by the side, looking at Soong Shiyan and Ye Faang.

Soong Shiyan didn't expect Ye Faang to be bitten by a dog. She couldn't help but find it funny — as expected, even the heavens couldn't bear to watch this. Otherwise, this Ye Faang wouldn't have been bitten by a dog! From the looks of it, the wound on Ye Faang's leg was not shallow.

"Jing Sung, I heard that that person wanted fifty million for your ransom. Is this … true?" Ye Faang remembered what that person said yesterday, so she asked.

"Godmother, don't think too much about it. Money is just an external object after all. As long as you can come back safely, it will be enough for me." Soong Shiyan said to Ye Faang with a smile.

Although Soong Shiyan didn't directly answer Ye Faang's question, her answer was obvious. Thinking about Yan Duoya's heartlessness, Ye Faang's eyes reddened as she looked at Soong Shiyan's worried and sincere face.

"Jing Sung, you're so good to me, I … I really can't repay this kindness!" Ye Faang looked at Soong Shiyan and said sincerely, "I will definitely find a way to return this money to you."

"Godmother, I've already told you not to talk about money anymore — treat this money as a gift from me. Although Shiyan is also your goddaughter, but you also don't have any source of income. How can you raise fifty million yuan? Therefore, you should stop returning this money to me. " Lili said to Ye Faang, shaking her head with a smile.

"Jing Sung, this fifty million in cash, you're the one who raised it everywhere — how did you …" Tiankui stood beside Soong Shiyan as she spoke.

Hearing this, Ye Faang felt even more grateful in her heart. She looked at Soong Shiyan with indescribable emotions — she must find a way to return this fifty million to Jing Sung!

… ….

Soong Shiyan took Ye Faang to the hospital to treat her wounds. After getting the rabid dog vaccine, she brought Ye Faang back home. The servants at home had already prepared the bathrooms. Therefore, as soon as Ye Faang returned to Soong Shiyan's home, she took a comfortable bath.

Ye Faang slowly walked out of the bathroom while wearing a bathrobe and wiping her slightly wet hair. Soong Shiyan was sitting in the living room. Seeing Ye Faang walk out of the bathroom, she smiled as she stood up and said to Ye Faang, "Mother, you probably haven't eaten well in the past two days, right? I told the servant to get the head chef to come over and cook you a table full of delicious dishes. "

With that, Soong Shiyan pulled Ye Faang towards a nearby dining room.

When they arrived at the dining room, Ye Faang couldn't help but open her eyes wide as she looked at the delicious food on the table with a smile plastered all over her face.

"Auntie, this chef is the chef of a five-star hotel. After everyone has tasted his dishes, they all applaud and cheer … Mom, you try it too." After Soong Shiyan finished speaking, she arranged for Ye Faang to take a seat. Soon after, she followed suit and sat down, giving food to Ye Faang with a smile.

Ye Faang had been hungry for two whole days. Before, she had eaten a bowl of noodles and stuffed her stomach, but now, after an hour and a half of driving back, she had gone to the hospital to tend to her wounds and take a bath. When Ye Faang heard that the chefs that cooked the dishes were all nobles, she could not help but feel proud of herself. Looking at the delicious food on the table, she swallowed her saliva and began to wolf down her food.

"Mom, take your time and eat. Don't choke." Soong Shiyan said worriedly when she saw Ye Faang's expression.

Ye Faang's heart warmed when she heard this. Her own daughter, upon learning of her "death," was probably still immersed in that immense joy. But, what about Jing Sung? Not only did she raise her ransom, she even personally brought her back and invited the head chef of a five-star hotel to prepare such a large table of food while she was starving.0

If there was anyone in this world who cared about her. Then, this person must belong to Jing Sung!

As Ye Faang ate, she started to cry again.

Soong Shiyan looked at Ye Faang with a sneer in her heart. She then took out a tissue and personally wiped her tears. Is the wound uncomfortable? "

"Jing Sung, you, you are really nice to me — I'm afraid that you are the only one who is so nice to me in this world." Ye Faang said.

Ye Faang's words were true. After all, Yan Duoya was the only family she had left in this world, and Yan Duoya was just as nice to her as she was to a stranger.

"Godmother, look at this — you're my godmother, and I'm good to you, of course I'm supposed to be, aren't I?" Soong Shiyan looked at Ye Faang and said with a smile.

"Jing Sung, from today onwards, I will only have you as my daughter in this world! In my eyes, you are my biological daughter! " Ye Faang said emotionally.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan smiled. However, in her heart, she was sneering — Ye Faang, oh Ye Faang, the day you find out the truth, I think you will regret what you said today! However, I don't think you will live to the day you find out the truth!

"But, mother …" Soong Shiyan looked at Ye Faang as she said this with some hesitation.

"What's wrong, Jing Sung? If you have anything to say, just say it to me. After all, in my eyes, you are not my goddaughter, but my own daughter. " Seeing that Soong Shiyan was hesitating, Ye Faang smiled and said to her.

"Mother, I hope Shiyan doesn't know about our close relationship." said Soong Shiyan, looking at Ye Faang and forcing a smile.

"What, what does this mean?" Hearing this, Ye Faang looked at Soong Shiyan with a puzzled expression.

"Shiyan, right now, you are the only family she has left in this world. If she knew that I 'stole' her only family away, then she would definitely feel terrible in her heart!" Soong Shiyan said "empathically".

If Yan Duoya knew that he was on good terms with Ye Faang, then perhaps she would be wary of him — after all, in Yan Duoya's eyes, Ye Faang could be considered as her enemy. As her friend, Yan Duoya would definitely doubt Yan Duoya's real purpose in getting close to Ye Faang.

Ye Faang felt that Soong Shiyan's words made sense. However, in her heart, what was even more important was that Jing Sung was her trump card. Perhaps one day, Jing Sung would also be her secret weapon against Yan Duoya. As for the secret weapon, he naturally couldn't let anyone else know about it.

Therefore, even if Soong Shiyan hadn't said it, Ye Faang wouldn't have been stupid enough to take the initiative to tell Yan Duoya about the relationship between her and Soong Shiyan.

"Shiyan is indeed a pitiful child. Now that her parents are gone, even if she has a bad temper, I must endure it. After all, I am her godmother and the only family she has left in this world. Don't worry, in order to take care of her emotions, I definitely won't let Shiyan know about our relationship." When Ye Faang mentioned Yan Duoya, her eyes showed a trace of worry and sympathy. If it was someone who didn't know better, they would have been fooled by her false appearance.

"Since that's the case, then I won't personally send you back to the Soong Family Palace later." Soong Shiyan said in a low voice. The three hours' drive back and forth had tired her out. She really didn't want to stay with Ye Faang any longer.

"That's fine too — Shiyan has not seen me for two days and I guess she is also worried. When I finish eating, I'll go back. " Ye Faang sneered. When she returned, she would like to see Yan Duoya's reaction.

"Godmother, let's not talk about anything else — hurry up and eat!" Soong Shiyan said with a smile. She then gave Ye Faang some more dishes.

"Here, you have some too." Ye Faang also smiled as she prepared some dishes for Soong Shiyan.

A trace of disdain flashed across Soong Shiyan's eyes, but she still smiled and ate the dish that Ye Faang gave her.

Tiankui stood in the yard and watched Soong Shiyan and Ye Faang happily enjoying their meal through the transparent window. She couldn't help but shake her head. She sighed, then turned and walked away.
