Gu Baisheng was shocked, too.

She looked down and found it was an old lady in her 60s.

She suddenly felt scared.

She tried to help that lady up in a hurry.

Passersby all shook their heads and looked at her in pity.

And some of them even discussed, "Well, it's so unlucky for that girl to bump into that old lady. She has to pay at least 50 thousand Yuan as compensation."

"I don't think she can get away from it without paying 100 thousand Yuan."

"That old lady doesn't seem to be strong."

These discussions made Gu Baisheng more worried.

There were so many cases of being blackmailed by old ladies online.

It made her scared, too.

"Are you alright, madam?"

Gu Baisheng tried to help the old lady up.

The old lady remained silent.

She just frowned and covered her waist with her hands.

She refused to stand up when Gu Baisheng helped her up.

Gu Baisheng was worried that she might hurt that lady's waist, so she reached out to check the lady's waist.

But as soon as she did so, someone pushed her away, "What are you doing?"

The man who was speaking was an old man in his 60s, the same as the old lady.

Gu Baisheng suddenly fell on the ground and sprained her ankle, so she frowned, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't watch the road and bumped into her."

The passersby suddenly sighed, "What an honest girl! She just admitted it. Now she fell into the trap."

"Nobody knows whether she bumped into that lady or that lady set her up because there's no camera."

When the old man heard the discussion, he was pissed and started to yell, "Set her up? What are you talking about? Get up, love."

In order to prove that they didn't try to blackmail Gu Baisheng, he helped his wife up.

When she stood up, she held her waist for a while before she put her hand on her stomach and started to whine.

It seemed that her stomach ached.

Gu Baisheng was unsure about whether the old lady suffered from waist or stomach pain. She asked the lady, ignoring her sprained ankle, "Beicheng Second Hospital is not far away. I can take you there and get you checked."

The old lady widened her eyes.

The old man answered immediately, "No, thanks. We just left there."

"I'm so sorry that I accidentally bumped into you."

Gu Baisheng didn't know what to do when they refused to follow her to the hospital.

The passersby commented. "Let the girl pay some money and end it!"

The old man became angry and yelled at them on hearing it, "You really want to make a big deal out of it! My wife is fine! Why do we want her to pay?"

The passersby were surprised.

The old man continued, "Get out of my way! It's not a circus!"

The passersby gradually left after being yelled at.

But Gu Baisheng couldn't leave.

She suggested when she saw the old lady covering her stomach with her hands, "I don't think she feels well, sir. Maybe I can get her checked in the Second Hospital. I know some doctors there."

"No." The old man waved his hand.

He had no intention to go to the hospital or blackmail her.

Gu Baisheng felt guilty because she misunderstood them, "Why does she always cover her stomach, sir? Is she unwell?"

The old man looked at his wife.

Gu Baisheng asked, "Does your stomach ache, madam?"

The old lady ignored Gu Baisheng and kept covering her stomach.

Gu Baisheng became more worried.

After seeing how worried Gu Baisheng was, the old man said, "She is just hungry."

"Hungry?"

Gu Baisheng was surprised.

The old man sighed and said, "My wife can't speak and now she has Alzheimer's. I took her to Beicheng Second Hospital to see a doctor from the countryside because it's famous for that. But we didn't bring enough money and the money left is only enough for our travel expenses. I'm worried that we'll run out of money, so we didn't eat anything here. That's why she's so hungry."

"I see." Gu Baisheng took her purse out of pity and wanted to give them some money, "I'll give you some money, so you can have a meal with your wife."

"You don't have to." He refused to accept the money when Gu Baisheng offered them 200 Yuan.

The old lady still covered her stomach and looked at her husband.

Gu Baisheng felt so sorry for them.

But the old man was so respectable and refused to accept her money, so she hesitated and said, "Please allow me to treat you some food in a nearby restaurant."

The old lady seemed to understand and hold Gu Baisheng's hand to drag her forward.

Gu Baisheng didn't know what she meant.

The old man explained after seeing his wife's behavior, "My wife saw a noodle shop on her way here and she really wanted to eat there. She wants to take you there when you said you wanted to treat us some food."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "OK, let's go to that noodle shop."

The old man was polite, "No, we can't accept it."

He tried to make his wife let go of Gu Baisheng.

Gu Baisheng couldn't help stopping him when she noticed how poor that old lady was, "Don't worry, sir. It's just a meal and it won't cost a lot. It's such a coincidence that we met."

The old man gave up the idea of stopping his wife after hearing so.

Gu Baisheng followed that old couple.

They arrived at an alley that was far away from the restaurant that she knew.

"Is there any restaurant here, sir?" Gu Baisheng was confused, "I don't remember any."

"I think it's a new one. They gave me a flyer."

He tried to take out the flyer from his clothes bag while talking.

Gu Baisheng looked at the buildings and felt strange.

The old man happened to take out the flyer, "Have a look!"

Gu Baisheng looked down at it.

He suddenly turned it over.

He suddenly sprayed something on her face.

She lost her consciousness completely after the terrible smell.

In a coma, she could hear their conversation.

"This girl is good-looking."

"She is. But she trusts people too easily."

"That's for the best. She can't run away from the village where she would be sold to."

"We can sell her for a good price considering how pretty she is."

"I know! She's like a fairy."

"We have to raise the price this time."

"For sure! Whoever buys her is so lucky."

"I feel sorry for this girl. She has to marry such kind of guy."

Gu Baisheng frowned in a coma.

Their conversation repeated in her mind like a nightmare.

This conversation was played on repeat.

She could constantly hear it.

"Such a pretty girl!"

"We can sell her for a good price."

"We have to raise our price this time!"

"I haven't seen any girls as pretty as her!"

"Unluckily, she's a girl. Otherwise, people would die to buy her."

"Even if she's a girl, she'll be a beauty in a few years. It's a good deal to buy her as your future wife."

"Yes, you don't see pretty girls like her often in your village."

She was still unconscious.

She saw herself turning into a 12-year-old girl who was shorter than her peers. She was chubby and her cheeks were like a cute little peach.

She was in tears.

She was pushed to a man with a mustache just like a kitten.

The man was in his 40s.

He left black marks on her arms and her white dress when he touched her.

The man looked at her excitedly and answered immediately, "I'll get her!"

"Lucky you! She can give birth to your son after a few years!"

"Yes, you're so lucky!"

Gu Baisheng was pulled over by that man.

He wanted to hug her.

She struggled.

Suddenly, someone broke into the shabby house.

They were wearing uniforms and holding guns.

She was saved from the scared man.

"Are you alright?"

That young man had a very delightful voice.

Gu Baisheng suddenly felt touched.

She looked up and saw his face.

That handsome young man in uniform had white teeth and thin lips.

His deep and bright eyes were full of energy.

She seemed to hear a voice calling her name, "Are you Gu Baisheng?"

She wanted to respond but she couldn't open her mouth or make a sound.

She looked at the young man dully and held his neck.

His friends joked, "This girl seems to like you a lot."

"I saved her life. Otherwise, this girl would be sold into a village and become someone's wife."

"Does she have to marry you to show her gratitude?"

"Marry him?"

She asked confusedly.

That young man didn't respond.

His friend wanted to stir things up, "It means you'll become his wife when you grow up, guinea pig."

"Why do you call me guinea pig?"

She blinked and asked.

He looked really kind and familiar.

When they first met, he was colder. But this time he was livelier.

"It's catchier."

"Forget about your medical terms!"

The young man who was holding her complained.

She held his neck happily and said sweetly, "I would like to be your wife when I grow up, Cheng Bi."

She would like to be Cheng Bi's wife when she grew up.
