422 Her Light

Mother Rong started and stared at Shen Ruojing in puzzlement. “Who can she be? She can’t possibly be the eldest young miss of the Shen Family, right?”

Just when Chu Cichen wanted to speak, someone suddenly ran out of the ward. “Lord Jing, the patient has awakened!”

This interrupted Chu Cichen’s explanation.

When Shen Ruojing heard this, she immediately looked at Rong Rong. “Sis Rong, you have my WeChat; let’s keep in contact frequently. I’ve some urgent matters to handle…”

Rong Rong immediately replied, “Go ahead and get busy with your stuff.”

Shen Ruojing nodded and led Chu Cichen to the ward.

After the two of them left, Mother Rong coldly laughed. “Look at what she is being addressed as. Lord Jing? How can this young woman be from a good family? You should stay further away from her!”

Rong Rong looked at Mother Rong and said, “She is Little Jing.”

Mother Rong sneered. “What Little Jing…”

After she said this, she suddenly paused as she abruptly understood something. She looked at Rong Rong and asked, “She is that child who was kidnapped together with you back then?”

Rong Rong lowered her head and clenched her fingers tightly.

Back when she was 15 years old, she was kidnapped and relocated to the mountains. At that time, in order to make her obedient, the mountain people locked her in an underground cave, wanting to frighten her.

In the dark cave, another little girl was locked up together with her.

It was the 11-year-old Shen Ruojing.

It was located deep in the mountains and forests, and the area was so destitute that there wasn’t even a path. Every day, there would be people tossing a piece of cornbread down, and they were both cold and hungry.

This was especially so during the night when the cold mountain wind gusted. The sound of the wind sounded like the wails of vicious ghosts, and it made her feel so much panic and dread that she covered her ears.

Just when she was about to break down mentally, an icy small hand held her hand.

Rong Rong lifted her head and saw a small girl looking at her. The girl’s voice was cold but calming. She said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Rong Rong’s fearful heart gradually became at ease.
