She was wearing high heels and the spot where the car stopped was quite some distance away from the exit. By the time she reached the zebra crossing with much difficulty, her feet were so grazed that she had several blisters.
It really hurt. The heart-wrenching pain... but it couldn’t compare to the pain in the bottom of her heart.
She was exhausted, but she wasn’t willing to stop. She didn’t know where she was, yet she just sluggishly kept walking forward.
The handprint on her face was very striking. Passersby all turned their heads and glanced at her.
She didn’t notice a thing about her surroundings and only stopped walking when she simply couldn’t walk any longer.
There was a floor mirror in the beauty salon display window beside her. When she swept a glance at the mirror, she couldn’t help but stop.
In the mirror, her hair was intricately styled, her makeup was carefully done, and she was wearing the shoes that she asked someone to bring back from abroad last year. She couldn’t bear to wear them before, not once...
She attentively prepared for tonight’s dinner, but now...
With that thought, Cheng Weiwan’s gaze fell upon her face in the mirror.
She stared at the fresh fingerprint mark on her face and her lips couldn’t help but curve into a smirk.
As she smirked and smirked, the tears she held back all night came pouring down.
Yeah... she understood the situation. She got angry at Cheng Weiguo earlier, but when she noticed her own father treating her like that time and time again, she felt really sad anyway.
They were biological father and daughter. They were meant to be the closest people to each other in the whole world and have an intimately close relationship, but... they were more distant than strangers.
She knew she shouldn’t have hope for Cheng Weiguo, but she was still very sad... As for their blood-bound relationship, she still couldn’t bear to forsake it.
The more she thought about it, the sadder Cheng Weiwan felt. In the end, she simply couldn’t hold it in. She crouched down and started weeping loudly as she hugged her knees.
–
Han Zhifan was really busy that night, so he did overtime until eleven in the evening before he called it a day.
He hadn’t had dinner yet, so his stomach was unbearably hungry. Considering that it would take a while to get home, he grabbed his phone and ordered supper.
Before he could make the call to order supper, the person who Lin Sheng hired to follow Cheng Weiwan called.
They said Cheng Weiwan had a meeting tonight with an unknown person, but she was delighted to go. After the meeting, Cheng Weiwan got in a car, but the car stopped mid-way when Cheng Weiwan stepped out. Then she looked completely distraught. Right now, she was crouched on the sidewalk, crying...
Curiosity crept into Han Zhifan’s heart as he questioned who she could’ve met up with to get this upset. Without much thought, he impatiently asked for Cheng Weiwan’s current position.
She wasn’t too far from his office – she was just on the street behind him. Han Zhifan hung up the call, and without putting on his jacket, he rushed down the stairs and barged outside into the dark winter night.
Han Zhifan was very familiar with the area around the office, so he easily found the place the caller mentioned.
At quite a distance away, he saw Cheng Weiwan crouched down by the side of the road.
Her body trembled like crazy. He knew she was crying bitterly.
His footsteps instinctively came to a stop. He stared at her for a short while before he walked very slowly over to her.
“Wanwan?”
He called her name.
But she ignored him.
So he bent down, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up.
