She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 738: Chapter 769: Utilizing Value

Outside the courtyard, Bai Oulan was wrapped up tightly, her head covered with a scarf, a far cry from her previous elegance. Her entire appearance was disheveled, dressed in outdated rural women’s clothing, timidly standing by the roadside, waiting for the assistant to inquire about the situation.

“You, quickly get away, unauthorized entry into this critical area could get you shot on sight.” The assistant returned with a response, pointing a gun at Bai Oulan.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving!” Bai Oulan instantly retreated in fright, running far away. She had visited many courtyards before, no matter the status, she would directly enter, and no one would stop her.

Today was the first time she was stopped, and being pointed at with a gun, she was scared out of her wits.

She did not dare linger at the heavily guarded gate, so she walked far away and sat by the roadside, burying her head in her arms and sobbing.

“Wuuwuuwuu… Shen Yu, how could you do this to me, who else but you have I fallen to this point for?” Bai Oulan cried heartbrokenly, devastated by the harsh treatment from Shen Yu, she realized she had unknowingly fallen in love with him.

With so many times their desires and emotions had intertwined, she had indulged under him, long abandoning her initial caution. Subconsciously, she felt safe with him; isn’t a woman’s love for a man founded on a sense of security?

Bai Oulan covered her face with her hands, tears streaming through her fingers.

“Comrade Bai Oulan.”

A strange voice rang above her head as Bai Oulan looked up to see a man in a common gray cotton-padded jacket standing in front of her.

“Who are you?” A hint of wariness and disdain flashed through her eyes.

The man sneered, finding it amusing that she could still look down on others at this time. “Someone sent me to find you, come with me!”

“Is it Shen Yu?” Bai Oulan grasped the man’s arm urgently, “Is it him? Is it really him?”

“What do you think? At a time like this, who else would dare associate with you?” The man forcefully shook off her hand, causing Bai Oulan to stumble and fall to the ground. “Mr. Bai, it’s better for us to keep our distance, otherwise…”

The rest was left unsaid, but Bai Oulan understood, her dirty face twisted in humiliation and ferocity. She clenched her lips tightly, leaving a deep bite mark on her lips.

“Lead the way!” Like a tiger fallen flat being bullied by dogs, now only Shen Yu could help her.

“Mr. Bai really is a clever one.”

Not long after the two left, Du Xiaosong hurried over, looking around sternly and ultimately shrugging helplessly. Not far from there was a black sedan parked, which was Meng Ping’s car.

Du Xiaosong approached, the car window rolled down revealing Meng Ping’s handsome profile.

“Second Young Master, she’s gone,” Du Xiaosong said, “She was just taken away, should I go after them?”

“No need!” Meng Ping glanced at where Bai Oulan had been sitting, “Let them speak first, it’s good, get in the car, it’s too cold outside.”

“Hehehe…” Du Xiaosong naively scratched his head, “Second Young Master, I’m not even cold.” Previously, his military unit had been very rigorous, often lacking food and clothing, hardly eating meat once a month. Ever since he followed Meng Ping, there was always fish and meat at every meal, and he wore the best down jackets. Wherever he went, there was heating or air conditioning.

Such a small car, he had never sat in before. Now, life was like heaven for Du Xiaosong. Moreover, Meng Ping was very generous, paying him a monthly salary that exceeded what he used to earn in a year.

Meng Ping glanced at him, “Look at your lack of ambition! How am I supposed to take you abroad to mix with others?”
