章 2: Being Targeted for No Reason
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Qiang was about to step on the brakes to deal with Han Xiang when he saw that the blue plastic tarp had already left the car and was flying towards the rear.
However, he did not expect that the tarp would actually cover the window of the jeep, that was flying towards him, the very next second.
The jeep driver instantly lost all vision and the vehicle became difficult to control. Coincidentally, Liu Qiang stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road at the same time. After the brakes screeched, the jeep twisted a few times and crashed straight towards Liu Qiang.
Under the massive impact, the tricycle was knocked a few meters away. A small figure was thrown out from the back of the car, and crashed into the ridge below the roadside.
After a bout of dizziness, Han Xiang stood up. Miraculously, she was only slightly injured.
The jeep and tricycle not far away were both in a bad state.
Han Xiang first ran to the jeep. The driver's head was bleeding, and he was laying unconscious on the steering wheel. The young man in the back seat had also fainted. He had probably hit his head as well,
She went in through the window, took out the young man's cell phone, and called the emergency services.
Things developed faster than Han Xiang thought. First, the emergency services arrived and rescued the two people stuck in the car. Then, they detained Han Xiang and Liu Qiang and waited for the police to arrive.
By the time Han Xiang's parents arrived, three hours had already passed.
Liu Qiang was temporarily detained, and the police began investigating the matter.
The beautiful woman who had jogged all the way here cried the moment she saw Han Xiang. The man beside her sighed and comforted the woman who was hugging Han Xiang. She had nearly fainted from crying so much.
When they were checking Han Xiang's injuries in the car, the woman shed tears again. This was Han Xiang's foster mother, Ms. Yang Su, and the man, who accompanied her, was her foster father, Han Zheng, the chairman of the Han Corporation.
Despite everything that had happened, Han Xiang still found it hard to accept that she could transmigrate into a book this easily. She tried hard to recall the details of the Han family in the book she had read. Now that she was a 12 year old girl again, how was she supposed to act?
Since she was in this position, she had to try her best to fit in. Han Xiang lowered her head and apologized softly, "Mom... I was wrong. I made you sad. I'm sorry."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Han Xiang's words, Ms. Yang Su cried even more. She hugged Han Xiang tightly and said, "Our baby has suffered a lot. She has become sensible now." Heartache laced her words and she sobbed loudly.
When she returned to the Han family's mansion, she saw all kinds of near inhumanly impossible decorations, a vast garden, and beautiful and magnificent buildings that she remembered were described in the book. Han Xiang was dumbfounded.
In such a good environment, the original protagonist still made a fuss about things and ran away from home every day! Screw being an adopted daughter, Han Xiang was willing to just be a servant here.
Mrs. Yang Su held her hand all the way and arranged for her to sit on the sofa in the living room. She said that she would personally cook to celebrate Han Xiang's safe return home.
Looking at the chaos in the kitchen between Yang Su and the maids, Han Xiang was filled with anticipation for her future.
Ms. Yang Su was just as was described in the book. She was both protective and sweet.
Before Han Xiang could finish admiring the luxurious living room, a boy who looked like a high school student suddenly appeared beside her. At this moment, his face was filled with displeasure and and irritation.
This seemed to be Han Xiang's second brother, Han Qi.
"I will remember that you pulled pranks to deliberately make mom sad. I warn you, you better be honest, or I will not be nice to you."
"What pranks..." Han Xiang was a little confused. The boy in front of her was still glaring at her fiercely.
"Don't pretend to be a good person! I told you, it's fine if you act like a spoilt little princess, but this time..."
Before Han Qi could finish, Yang Su suddenly leaned over and asked, "Baby, do you want to have a strawberry milkshake?"
"Uh, yes! Thank you, mom!"
Under Han Qi's threatening gaze, Han Xiang obediently responded to Yang Su. Han Qi paused in surprise and then said loudly, "Sister, dad wants you to come to his study."
Under Han Qi's watchful eye, Han Xiang was forced to go all the way to Han Zheng's study on the second floor.
Before opening the door, Han Qi glared at her fiercely and then left.
What was going on? Why was her second brother so hostile towards her?
After Han Xiang finished chatting with her adoptive father, Han Zheng, she finally understood the current situation. She could not help but feel pain in her heart. "Oh my God! Why is the protagonist doing this?"
Her adoptive mother, Yang Su, and her adoptive father, Han Zheng, were very loving. Yang Su had a difficult time when she gave birth to their third son, Han Yang. Therefore, they were unable to have children from then on. Yang Su really wanted a daughter, but the first three children were all boys, so she adopted a five-year-old girl from the Welfare Institute and named her Han Xiang.
