You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 Run Away If You Cannot Fight Back

Bai Rong shuddered and subconsciously turned to leave. Su Xuyan grabbed her arm, not letting her go.

She felt an immense pressure, as if a mountain were on her shoulders.

She did not want to face Gu Mingchen or his family; she could only imagine what they would think of her.

A sick dread crept through her stomach, and she was afraid she would have a relapse on the spot.

Bai Rong was a prideful person. She cared a lot about how one saw her.

Her body was trembling with fear, and she shook her head, hinting not to enter. “Please let me go,” she pleaded.

Instead of letting her leave the room, he placed his arms across her shoulders and entered.

She could no longer retreat. Her face was ghastly pale, and she clenched her fist tightly.

Bai Rong, you cannot act up now. Get a grip on yourself.

She did not want people to think she was crazy, especially not in public.

She watched the world around her spiral into darkness. It swallowed her like she was the only one left in this world. She knew no one could save her, and her anxiety increased with each passing second.

The pressure was too much to bear. Bai Rong was prepared to run away.

She took a step back, but Su Xuyan was holding to her so tightly she could not break free. Her body lunged forward with his force.

She lowered her eyes, refusing to look at anyone.

“Gu Mingchen, you’re innocent, and justice will prevail. I knew they would release you,” Su Xuyan announced.

Gu Mingchen’s gaze fell upon Bai Rong instead.

Sensing his gaze on her, she convinced herself that she could hear nothing, see nothing, and feel nothing. Just like that, she slowly vacated her mind.

“Of course, Mingchen is innocent. Unlike some people who are avaricious and would do anything for money and profits. What a pity her plan became a complete flop. This result is splendid,” Song Xiyu said.

“Bai Rong, what’s wrong with you? You’ve reconciled with Su Xuyan?” Su Wanning was astounded when she saw the hatred in Gu Mingchen’s eyes.

Xiong Daini also noticed her son’s arm over Bai Rong. Her temper sparked and she yelled at him, “What’s going on between the two of you? She is a promiscuous woman! She switches partners so often, the world already knows of her sluttish nature. If you want her as a wife, I will disown you.”

“Mother, you have misunderstood Rong. The person she loves has always only been me.” Su Xuyan smiled slyly and tightened his grip on Bai Rong’s shoulders.

The latter came out of her daze.

She did not hear a single word they were saying, and her heart sank at the realization.

Have I become like my mom, no longer aware of what is happening around her? I must leave. I cannot remain here.

“Sorry, I’ve got something to do. I’ll make a move first,” she said.

“Rong, don’t be afraid. You’re my woman and I’ll protect you. We will see the people in this room often. It’s useless to hide,” Su Xuyan said with a smile.

She knew his smile was hypocritical.

“Xuyan, are you crazy? Why would you want this type of woman?” Xiong Daini became very agitated.

“Mother, she really loves me. I am very certain. Since I have promised to let her stay by my side, I cannot go back on my words. Please stop making things difficult for her,” Su Xuyan replied.

Xiong Daini was speechless, but her anger did not subside. She picked up the red wine on the table and poured it straight into Bai Rong’s face. “Shameless woman. How did you have the cheek to come?”

“Mother, you are embarrassing me,” Su Xuyan said while taking a paper napkin to wipe his beloved’s face.

Bai Rong saw the scornful look in everyone’s eyes, but she dared not look at Gu Mingchen.

Having an outburst here would only make them despise her more. They might even lock her up in a mental institution.

“Sorry… I’ll leave first,” she said shakily, and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.

She did not want Su Xuyan to catch up with her or anyone to see her embarrassed herself.

After running aimlessly for days, a series of loud, high-pitched honks woke Bai Rong from her stupor.

She got out of her daze and saw a truck heading towards her. Instead of dodging, she remained on the spot.

It came to a screeching halt just ten centimeters in front of her.

“Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill yourself? I’ve honked so many times! If you want to die, jump down a river. Don’t give people unnecessary trouble!” the driver yelled in a rage.

“I’m sorry, so sorry,” she responded meekly.

The truck driver jumped out of his vehicle and scrutinized her with interest. “Where are you going? Why are you here alone?”

She read his bad intentions. “I’m here to visit my relative. We are meeting just in front.”

“Why is your relative not picking you up? It’s dangerous for a girl like you to be out in the wilderness. Where is your relative’s house? I will send you there.” With that, the driver grabbed her hands.

Bai Rong pushed away his hands defensively. “Don’t touch me. You don’t have to send me there. I have called him earlier, and he is coming to pick me up soon.”

Seeing the deserted surroundings, the driver forcefully picked her up.

She grabbed onto the edge of the truck for dear life and screamed, “Help! Help! Help me!”

Just then, a car stopped in front of them.

“This is none of your business. It’s a personal matter between my wife and me. Don’t interfere!” the truck driver shouted at the man in the car.

“We are not married. He grabbed me in the middle of the street. Ask him if he knows my name!” Bai Rong said anxiously.

“I am the police. I don’t care if you’re married. Just come back to the station and slowly explain to me.”

Seeing that a police officer was here, the truck driver panicked and pushed Bai Rong away, causing her to fall to the ground. He climbed up into his truck and sped off.

The policeman wanted to take a photo of the truck driver’s license plate number, but it was covered with dust.

“Are you alright?” he asked.

Bai Rong nodded her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for saving me.”

She initially wanted to take out her name card but realized her bag was no longer with her.

Her phone, wallet, and all her personal identifications were in her bag, and she could not recall when or how she lost her bag.

Her condition had worsened, and she was afraid she might not even last three months.

She did not wish to be like her mother, who had to eat and defecate on the bed while people stared at her through a glass window.

Can I just die now?

Tang Xiaojiu, the village massacre case, and the treasure map. I could not even handle my own matters now. How can I even handle them?

I’m just a jinx; I’ll only bring misfortune to those around me.

“Miss, Miss, can you hear me?”

His voice jarred her out of her daze. “I’m fine. Thank you for saving me. Please leave your contact details. I hope to give a token of appreciation for your help,” she said.
