Xiao Nan blurted out, “That’s impossible. Who would dare to protect her?”

A calm reply came from outside the door. “The Zhuang family!”

Cen Shuang sat in the Zhuang family’s car and watched the Zhuang family’s butler walk towards her in the Public Security Bureau. Xiao Nan, who was behind her, was completely stunned.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Cen Shuang thanked him politely. If the Zhuang family representative had not arrived in time, she was afraid that she would have spent the night there. Although she was penniless and could not afford to stay in a hotel, she was not desperate enough to stay the night in a detention center.

“Miss, you are too kind. Madam has just received the news that you have been wronged. Let the Zhuang family handle the rest of the matters. I will send you back to school now.” As the Zhuang family’s butler for 20 years, the rules he had to follow were very strict. Calling her Miss showed that he respected Cen Shuang.

Cen Shuang nodded and looked out of the window in a daze. “Please thank Madam for me.”

From tomorrow onwards, she should be calling her mother-in-law!

Cen Shuang returned to the school dormitory. She still had half a month left in school. There was no one in the dormitory and she was only staying for one night. Tomorrow, she would be the Zhuang family’s daughter-in-law and would be moving into the Zhuang family’s residence. She was still not used to the idea of being married. After washing up, Cen Shuang lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze. It was only when her phone rang that she remembered that she had not looked at her phone all day.

“Sister...”

“Shuang Shuang, why didn’t you come look for me? Where are you now?” Cen Zhu’s voice was filled with worry. The Can Corporation had closed down, and the Cen residence had been seized. When she rushed over, she saw that the familiar door had been locked with an iron lock. She had searched for Cen Shuang for a whole day, but could not find her. She was going crazy.

“Sis, I’m fine. I’m at the school now.”

“School? Why did you go back to the school? I’m going to pick you up now.”

“There’s no need. I’ve found a job and will be moving there tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Cen Zhu’s restrained voice came through. “The Cen family has lost everything. I know you feel wronged.”

“Sis, what are you talking about? I’m already 20 years old and can support myself. The Cen family is gone. How are your days with the Lu family? Do they bully you?”

The Cen and Lu families had arranged a business marriage. Cen Shuang knew that Cen Zhu liked Lu Hongyang and that they suited each other. However, she did not expect that Cen Zhu would marry Lu Hongyang. The Lu family was only an empty shell, and Lu Hongyang did not love her. To be precise, Lu Hongyang loved someone else.

“No, they are very good to me.” They had been married for five years and still did not have children. How good could they be?

However, Cen Shuang did not have the energy to think too much right now. “Sis, you don’t have to worry about me. Your life will be better if you stay with the Lu family. When I earn money, I will buy the Cen family’s residence back.”

The Cen family’s villa alone cost 30 million. It would be a dream come true if she could buy it back with her salary.

“You have to take care of yourself. Don’t work too hard.”

How could she find a good job as a college student who had not graduated? In fact, she could only tacitly assuage her sister’s worry for her. Cen Shuang hung up the phone and browsed through her messages for the whole day.

Most of the messages were from Cen Zhu, and there was a familiar name at the end. She opened the message and heard a man’s voice, “Cen Shuang, where are you?”

It repeated over and over again, and the dozen messages after were exactly the same. Cen Shuang’s eyes were red as she replied, “I’m somewhere you’ll never find me.”

After Cen Shuang replied to the message, she turned off her phone and lay on the bed. She recalled the man’s voice in her mind, and it did not fade away for a long time. Tears silently fell into her hair.

‘Yang Jinyan, from now on, wherever I go is none of your business!’

That night, Cen Shuang had nightmares. From the plane accident her father was involved in, to the tragic death of her mother, and finally to the bankruptcy of the Cen family. In her dreams, the Cen family’s villa was seized by the bank, the iron gate was closed, and she walked into the Zhuang family’s residence. She did not know if it was because this dream was too sad, but Cen Shuang cried out loud and woke herself up.

The sun shone in from outside the window. Morning would come no matter what. Cen Shuang suddenly thought of something and quickly picked up her phone. She ignored the barrage of messages from that person, and found the unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, she called her.

“Miss Cen, the car is waiting outside the school gate.” She did not wait for Cen Shuang to speak. It looked like she had waited for a long time. Perhaps the car was not only picking her up, but was also here to arrest her.

However, Cen Shuang did not have time to think too much. She quickly changed her clothes, washed up, and ran out. There was a black Bentley parked by the side of the road outside the school gate. The staff stood in front of the car and opened the car door once Cen Shuang appeared.

“I’m sorry, I forgot to turn on my phone.”

“Miss Cen, don’t be nervous. Madam knows that you are a woman of your word.”

Cen Shuang immediately got into the car. Her word? She only knew that she would not run away because she needed the Cen family’s house back. The car drove into the Zhuang family’s villa without much fanfare. It was so quiet that it did not seem like a wedding.
