Song Qinian saw that Shen Chi Yan had not yet arrived. After hesitating for a while, she sent Shen Chi Yan a WeChat message, "I've arrived at the restaurant. When are you coming?"
The message sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.
Song Qinian was afraid Shen Chi Yan was too busy and didn't dare to bother her again.
The waiter came to ask several times.
"Miss, when would you like to order?"
Song Qinian felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, my husband hasn't arrived yet, I'm waiting for him."
The waiter saw that Song Qinian was mute and wearing designer clothes, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The previously clear sky became overcast at some point, and the drizzle gradually turned into heavy rain.
The fireworks show ended, and couples who had come out for dates returned home. Shen Chi Yan still hadn't arrived.
It was already half past eleven, and as midnight approached, Song Qinian's eager heart gradually grew cold.
"Miss, we close at twelve sharp. You..."
"Can I wait until twelve to leave then?"
Looking at Song Qinian's innocent deer-like eyes with sincerity, no one could refuse her.
Besides, she was already pitiful enough, having waited for four or five hours, and her husband still hadn't arrived.
"...Of course."
Until the last second, Song Qinian still held onto hope.
She felt that since Shen Chi Yan had given her such a beautiful dress and invited her to such a place for dinner, he probably wasn't deliberately playing tricks on her, but was genuinely delayed by something.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Midnight passed, her birthday was over, and Shen Chi Yan still hadn't come, nor had he sent any messages.
Song Qinian felt incredibly sad, but she didn't show it to the waiter at all. Only after forcing herself to walk out of the restaurant did tears flow.
Heh...
How could she be so foolish?
Thinking carefully, she should have known that Shen Chi Yan disliked her so much, how could he celebrate her birthday?
The rain was heavy, as if mockingly laughing at her foolish wishful thinking.
She walked aimlessly for a while before reaching out to hail a taxi.
The driver glanced at Song Qinian in the rearview mirror, "Miss, where are you going?"
Song Qinian handed her phone to the driver. After seeing the address, the driver started the car.
On the way, seeing that Song Qinian was silent and kept crying.
He also saw that she was wearing designer clothes and was beautiful, and his gaze gradually turned greedy.
Song Qinian was in deep sorrow, her heart aching with pain. She kept crying and didn't realize the danger approaching.
After the car had driven for a while, it stopped. Song Qinian thought they had arrived home and pushed the car door open to get out, only to find herself in a dark alley.
Sensing something was wrong, she tried to leave, but was pushed to the ground with great force.
The ground was still wet. The moment Song Qinian fell, she landed in a puddle of sewage.
The water soaked her clothes and clung to her skin. Song Qinian shivered. Just as she was about to get up, the driver pressed down on her, and with a lewd smile, touched Song Qinian's face, which was full of terror.
"Little beauty, dumped by a scumbag? It's okay, it's Qixi Festival, brother will spend it with you."
The man tore Song Qinian's clothes and lunged at her with his foul mouth.
Song Qinian hadn't expected to encounter danger in a taxi. This was like adding insult to injury for her at this moment.
Without time to think, she struggled with all her might, preventing the man from touching her!
This was a dark alley, a place where one could call out to heaven and earth but no one would hear, let alone be heard. Moreover, Song Qinian was mute and couldn't cry for help.
The driver seemed to have noticed this and became even more excited.
"Good girl, I didn't expect you to be mute. It seems even heaven is helping me."
While resisting, Song Qinian slapped the man across the face. The man, enraged, slapped her on the face twice fiercely.
Song Qinian's head spun from the blows, and blood instantly streamed from her nose.
The rain continued to fall, wetting Song Qinian's hair and face. She looked at the ferocious man under the dim streetlight, knowing that she couldn't defeat him with brute strength, let alone escape.
She resigned herself and stopped struggling.
Seeing Song Qinian's submission, the man grinned more lewdly and happily, "Baby, you should have done this earlier, and you wouldn't have gotten hit."
Thinking that Song Qinian, a frail mute, couldn't possibly escape, the man wasn't very wary of her. He eagerly started to unbutton his pants.
Little did he know that Song Qinian, while appearing to have surrendered, was actually looking for an opportunity.
Her hands had been groping around, and she finally found a hard stone.
When the man leaned down to kiss her again, she picked up the stone and smashed it hard on his nose.
"Ah..."
The man screamed and clutched his nose.
Song Qinian then fiercely smashed another stone at his vulnerable lower parts. The man cried out in pain, clutching his groin. Song Qinian pushed him away and ran.
She was wearing high heels, and the alley road was uneven. Without paying attention, she twisted her ankle.
"Bitch! Stop right there! When I catch you, I'll kill you!"
The man chased after her, pulling up his pants. Song Qinian ignored the pain in her ankle and could only run for her life.
Almost there!
She was almost out of the alley!
If she could see pedestrians, she might be saved!
But it was the middle of the night, and there were very few people on the street, especially in this remote area.
Song Qinian kept running. As she passed a corner, a sports car suddenly shot out.
"Screech..."
The sound of tires urgently grinding against the ground suddenly rang out. Song Qinian was thrown by the sports car!
The moment she was thrown, Song Qinian's mind went blank. She couldn't even feel where she was hurting.
"What the hell, Guan Mingxu, what's wrong with you? How could you hit someone?"
A companion's voice came from the earphones, followed by several luxury cars stopping.
Guan Mingxu's face turned pale with fright. He had been in a bad mood recently. He had finally met his little darling again, and unexpectedly, she had disappeared in the time it took to get a glass of water.
He checked the hotel surveillance, but the cameras had been tampered with. He didn't know who had taken his little darling or what she might have encountered.
He was filled with regret and remorse.
No matter what, he shouldn't have left his little darling alone in the lobby. So when someone invited him to race, he went without a second thought.
Originally, everyone raced in the mountains or on deserted mountain roads.
For some reason, those guys today insisted on racing on the streets.
His mind was also fuzzy, and he joined in their recklessness.
And then... he hit someone.
His mind was still in a daze, but his body had already gotten out of the car and he stumbled towards the girl lying on the ground.
His companions also got out of their cars. Someone went to check Song Qinian's breathing, "She's alive, let's take her to the hospital!"
Hearing that she was alive, Guan Mingxu let out a heavy sigh of relief. Only then did he look at the girl's face and his eyes widened in fury.
"Little darling!!!"
The driver who had been chasing her saw Song Qinian being taken away by the luxury cars and didn't dare to pursue further. He sheepishly drove away.
