Chapter 141: The unoccupied plant
Since finding her dad, Lauren's face has been filled with a happy smile. Every day is filled with
happiness, talking with dad during the day, filling the gap that was not there before. At night, she cooks
delicious food for her dad.
This time of happiness made Lauren forget all the hatred and all the pain.
This afternoon, the sun was shining outside. The air was very fresh and Lauren pushed Li Mang, to the
front yard, so he could receive the sunlight.
"Lauren, tell Daddy frankly, what is your relationship with Matthew? Who is that woman who often
appears inside the mansion?"
Faced with Dad's question, Lauren was a bit stunned.
"Dad, you can see that?"
Li Mang nodded, took Lauren's hand and gently stroked it.
"I can see that the relationship between you and Matthew is not so simple. I can see that you and
Matthew are not so innocent. And the maids are not calling you what his girlfriend should call you, and
that woman is always showing off her closeness with Matthew in front of me.
Lauren sighed softly, originally wanted to hide from Dad, did not expect, only a few days of time, Dad
saw that things are not right.
Lauren downplayed what had happened between herself and Matthew. Told Dad.
"So, you're nominally brother and sister, but behind the scenes, you're his woman?"
On Lauren's face, there was a bitter smile.
"You know what, Dad? I was just one of the many women he had. Originally, I thought that my mother
was killed by him, so I used this reason to keep myself by his side, to get back at him and make him
suffer, but later I was proven wrong, my mother's death had nothing to do with him, and the baby's
death was not entirely due to him. When he would put the silver ring on my ankle in the beginning, it
was just to make me stay by his side. But I made the wrong decision and indirectly killed the baby."
Thinking about the lost baby, Lauren's face flowed more and more tears. Let Li Mang very heartbroken.
"Child, cry, cry out all your grievances. Don't let yourself suffer any longer."
Lauren cried out loud for the first time, leaving everything behind, as she nestled in her father's arms.
Crying out all the aggression.
After a while, she raised her head in embarrassment.
"Is the mood any better?"
Lauren nodded.
"Dad, thank you, thank you for being so tolerant of me, would you agree if I stayed with Matthew?"
Lauren asked for Li Mang's opinion. She didn't want any of her decisions to make things difficult for her
dad.
"Even if Matthew doesn't love you and is just using you for his own purposes, are you going to stay by
his side and love him in your own way?"
Li Mang saw very clearly. Baby daughter is still in love with Matthew, the love hidden under the eyes, it
is impossible to part with.
"Dad. I really don't know, I really have to think I'm just a bitch now, knowing that Matthew hates Mom,
knowing that Matthew keeps himself around. Just to find out the facts of Nangong Lixin's crime. I know
that Matthew is about to have an engagement ceremony with Ling Xueer, but I am still guilty of wanting
to stay by his side and want to see him every day. Dad, am I an abominable woman?"
Since Matthew helped him find his dad and helped him contact his primary care doctor, Lauren's heart
has been turned upside down.
The hatred that had been repressed deep inside slowly disappeared. In its place is an unconcealed
love.
Li Mang sighed gently, heartbroken at what happened to his daughter.
"Daddy has loved, daddy knows what it is like to love someone. lauren, although daddy and you have
not been together long, but daddy supports any decision you make, just promise daddy that you will not
let yourself be hurt in any way, you must protect yourself, and if it really does not work, you must
withdraw from the whirlpool of your feelings in time, and do not let yourself live a painful a lifetime."
Li Mang admonished Lauren in a serious tone.
"Dad, don't worry, I understand what I'm doing?"
The determination and wisdom in Lauren's eyes made Li Mang put down his heart slightly, but when he
thought of facing Matthew's many difficulties, his heart was still a little worried for Lauren.
"Dad, it's windy, let me push you back to your room, you have to get well, in a few days foreign experts
will come over to operate on you, you will be able to stand in front of your daughter then."
Li Mang nodded and let his daughter push himself back to his room to rest.
"Miss. Li, just now Young Master Nangong called and asked you to meet him at this place."
Lauren had just walked out of Li Mang's room when Wang's mother came to her with a note in her
hand.
Lauren took the note and glanced at the address on it.
"I know, Wang Ma, have you had any contact with Ling Xue'er recently?"
Lauren was consciously or unconsciously testing Wang's mother, she always felt that the incident of
making soup that time was not a mere matter.
Sure enough, when she mentioned Ling Xueer herself, Wang Ma's eyes were a little panicked,
although she covered it up quickly, but Ling Xueer could still see her heart was weak.
"The last few days have been making meals for Ling Xue'er to lose weight. Because soon is the day of
her engagement with the young master, she wants to be able to appear in front of the guests with a
perfect figure."
Lauren nodded and took the note back to her room.
After a simple wash, Lauren grabbed her bag and left the mansion.
Lauren is not afraid of what Nangong Lixin will do to her. The place where Nangong Lixin asked himself
out is also a public place where many people will be present.
"Lauren, wait a minute."
Lauren was just about to do get into the car when Ling Xueer's somewhat anxious voice came from
behind her.
"Is something wrong?
"Can I get a ride with you? I need to go back to Ling House now, but the cars are out and I can't call a
car."
Seeing that Ling Xueer's face was really very anxious, Lauren didn't have any doubts and directly let
Ling Xueer sit in the car. Didn't notice the sinister flicker at the corner of Ling Xueer's mouth.
"Driver, that's not where I'm going."
The more the car drove, the more Lauren felt a little strange. The route wasn't at all where he wanted
to go.
"Lauren, don't be in a hurry, this is a shortcut that will allow you to see Nangong Lixin faster."
What Ling Xue'er said next to her made Lauren even more suspicious.
"Ling Xue'er, how did you know I was going to meet with Nangong Lixin?"
''Ha, ha, ha'' Ling Xue'er suddenly burst out laughing.
"Of course I know, because the address on the note, but I wrote it myself."
Ling Xue'er's words made Lauren realize that she had fallen for it. She carefully took out her pocket
phone and prepared to pull Matthew's number.
But it didn't occur to me that this idea was guessed by Ling Xue'er. Ling Xue'er grabbed her phone and
threw it straight out along the car window.
What Lauren saw was the phone in tatters.
"Ling Xue'er, what exactly do you want? If I'm not wrong, this driver should also be one of your people,
right?"
Lauren forced herself to calm down. Before getting into the car, she felt a little strange as to why this
driver was wearing a hat and sunglasses in such hot weather, giving off a mysterious feeling. It was just
that she was in a hurry to meet with Nangong Lixin. So she didn't care in any way.
"Lauren, you didn't expect to meet me with such a spectacle, did you?"
The driver removed the hat and sunglasses from his face and the familiar voice that made Lauren
blush.
"Joshua, why would it be you?"
Lauren looked at Joshua with some incredulity.
"It's all your fault, huh? I called me many times and wanted to see you. But you refused over and over
again, and there was no way I could only meet with you in this way."
Joshua's tone sounded very grim, which made Lauren smell fear.
"Say it. Where are you going to take me?"
The view outside let Lauren know that they had strayed out of the city. It was heading for the efficiency
zone where few people passed.
"Cousin, the next thing, you have to take care of yourself, remember, no matter what happens, and I
have nothing to do with it, you better not bring things to my head, or I will not let you off."
Ling Xueer admonished Joshua.
"Don't worry, I won't involve you in this matter, to the front corner, I will put you down, there are people I
arranged, will send you back to the city, next you have to be careful yourself."
The two men's side-splitting conversation made Lauren even more uneasy.
Joshua said to do, quickly in front of the corner, stopped the car, open the door to let Ling Xueer get
out, Lauren originally wanted to take this opportunity to rush down the car, but did not think, their legs
actually at this time a little strength.
"Lauren, you don't need to waste your energy, you drink a bowl of medicine, your legs won't be able to
feel anything for an hour."
Ling Xue'er's words reminded Lauren that when she was out, Wang Ma once brought a bowl of soup to
herself. Because she was in a hurry to see Nangong Lixin, she forgot all her suspicions.
"Ling Xue'er, I will not let you go, you better pray every day not to fall into my hands, or I will let you
know sooner or later, what it means to live worse than death."
Lauren gritted her teeth and snarled at Ling Xueer.
Ling Xue'er had a smile on her face.
"I'm really looking forward to it, but Lauren, you might as well pray for yourself, landing in the hands of
a man who already loves you to the point of insanity, do you think you'll stand a chance of leaving?"
After saying that, Ling Xueer, in front of Lauren, fiercely closed the car door and went away.
"Joshua, let me go, if Matthew knows what you did, he won't let you go, and you really don't care about
the little baby anymore? The little baby needs you right now, huh?"
Lauren hoped that the little baby, could make Joshua change his mind. Instead, he didn't expect to see
a big smile on Joshua's face.
"Don't worry, no matter what time it is, the little baby will be with us, Lauren, don't say anything, or just
be good and close your eyes and get some rest, we'll be at the place in a while."
"Joshua, if you don't stop, I'm going to jump off."
Lauren used her bag, desperately smashing the glass on the car, but half a day of effort, the glass is
not damaged.
"You don't have to smash it, you're not going to smash it open, and where I'm going, I'm going to be
there soon, so just hold on a little longer."
Lauren tries to force Matthew to stop, but her hands slowly start to lose consciousness and she can
only watch Joshua pull herself away. Pulled to a dilapidated factory where no one passed by.
Joshua stopped the car at the entrance of the plant and then moved gently to help Lauren down from
the car.
Without any feeling in her legs, Lauren had to lean on Joshua's body and survey her surroundings.
Hoping to find a chance to let herself go.
But she was really disappointed, surrounded by a desolate, not a bit of human habitation, and
according to her estimate, unless there is a car, or she can not walk back to the city.
"What is this place? Where is the little baby?"
"You'll see the little baby in a minute."
Joshua directly picked up Lauren and walked towards the inside of the plant. The grim hostility hanging
from the corner of his mouth makes people shudder.
"Mom, why are you here?"
The little baby, nestled in the corner, had a smile on her pale face when she saw Lauren.
"Joshua, get off me, I want to see the little baby."
The appearance of the little one here took Lauren by surprise, and she hurriedly took the little one in
her arms.
"Mommy, I hurt, it hurts, it hurts."
The little baby, who had been controlled by her father, could no longer hold back her cries of pain when
she saw Lauren.
Lauren hurriedly lifted the tattered covers off her little baby and when she saw the legs that had begun
to bleed, Lauren's face changed dramatically.
"Joshua, why don't you hurry up and get the baby to the hospital? Her leg has deteriorated to this point,
do you want to see the child really unable to walk for the rest of her life?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Lauren roared loudly at Joshua, really did not think that Joshua, who had always been gentle, actually
ignored his daughter, but let her wounds, something that worsened.
"Don't worry, I've given her medicine, it won't hurt for a while, you stay here with the little one, I'll go get
food for you."
After saying that, Joshua turned around and walked out of the plant.
"Little baby, don't be afraid, mommy is here, mommy won't let you get hurt again."
Lauren held her little baby and her heart ached for her little baby's pain.
"Mom, the little baby was not originally crippled, it's just that daddy is lying to you in such a way, and
the wound will heal after a while, it will not affect future walking, you must escape, daddy has gone
crazy, he is not the same daddy as before."
The little baby told Lauren in a lowered voice.
"Little baby, you didn't lie to mommy? You can walk on your legs?"
The little baby nodded.
"But, it's just that I can't move around as freely as before. But I overheard my uncle the doctor and he
said I can still walk, but I have to go through rehab so I can live like a normal child."
The little baby's big eyes are full of desire and expectation for the future.
"Little baby, listen, not only is mommy going to get out of here, mommy won't leave you here, we can
definitely get out of here, listen to mommy, have faith in mommy, okay?"
The little baby nodded understandingly.
"Mommy, you must not contradict daddy, daddy is really not the old daddy, the old daddy never hit the
little baby, but now daddy, whenever he is in a bad mood, he will hit the little baby, and the baby's body
is covered with traces of his beatings."
Baby cried out in pain, looking at the child in front of all the injuries, Lauren really very heartbroken, she
did not expect, only half a month's time, the previous daily face with a smile, innocent little girl, now the
eyes no longer have the previous innocence, replaced by hatred for Dad.
