Back Then, I Adored You

After that, Xu Wennuan turned and walked toward the elevator. As she was walking fast, Jiang Qianqian, who wanted to catch hold of her, also followed after her quickly. When Jiang Qianqian was three feet away from her, she reached out her arm to pull her elbow. Although Xu Wennuan did not look back, she could sense how close Jiang Qianqian was. Not wanting to be touched by her, Xu Wennuan subconsciously raised her arm.

Right after she lifted her arm, Jiang Qianqian shrieked and fell down flat on the ground. The shriek alarmed Xu Wennuan, and she immediately knew what Jiang Qianqian was attempting to set up, but Xu Wennuan was 100 percent certain that she had not come into any physical contact with Jiang Qianqian.

Xu Wennuan did not want to look back and planned to keep walking straight ahead but, after taking a few steps, she then heard Jiang Qianqian screaming behind her. “It was her! She was the one who pushed me! My child!”

Jiang Qianqian’s words and screams were sharp and piercing, attracting the attention of everyone in the mall and causing a crowd to gather.

Xu Wennuan instinctively stopped in her tracks and turned around to take one glance. Jiang Qianqian was clutching her stomach with her face looking pale. She sat limply on the ground while bright red blood continuously gushed out from between her thighs.

Jiang Qianqian’s finger was still pointing viciously at her. “She was the one who pushed me! My child… Help!”

Some onlookers took out their cell phones to call for an ambulance. Others were angry and began to berate Xu Wennuan. Someone even muttered softly, “Call the police. This is murder.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Qianqian managed to react. With her fingers shaking, she took out her cell phone from her bag and dialed 110.

The people around them were all chastising Xu Wennuan. Some even blocked her path, as they were afraid that she would run away. Xu Wennuan stared straight at the pool of blood on the ground. Her mind completely blanked out, and it was only when her cell phone vibrated in her hand that she returned to her senses. Looking down, she realized that it was an advertisement sent from the number 10086. Clicking the link, she saw several messages sent to her from her friends in the game that she had been playing earlier but had not exited.

Currently, she was not in the mood to read any messages. She tried to exit the game, but her fingers were shaking and she accidentally clicked the message bar. All the messages had been sent by Zero.

“Are you angry?”

“My internet was lagging. I didn’t crash the game intentionally.”

“I’ll play properly with you for 10 continuous rounds. How does that sound?”

“A hundred rounds?”

“A thousand rounds?”

“Are you really angry?”

After Xu Wennuan read the last message, another message popped up. “I’m sorry, it was my fault. I’ll not repeat this mistake in the future…”

Xu Wennuan was terrified to the point that her mind did not function properly. She was actually in the mood to reply to the message from the person in the game whom she had never met before. “I’m not angry. I’m just in a bit of trouble,” she wanted to tell him.

“What kind of person is this? She’s still in the mood to play with her cell phone after bullying a pregnant lady…”

“Yeah, I have never seen such a shameless person before…”

“The police are here…”

The ambulance arrived and took Jiang Qianqian away. The police officers got some information about what had happened before walking over to Xu Wennuan. “Miss, we need you to come with us…”

“I did not push her. She was not pushed by me.” Xu Wennuan shook her head and took a step back.

“It was her. She pushed that pregnant lady…” someone from the crowd chimed in.
