Chapter 5: Bringing the Wild Child Home

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the daughter-in-law of the Liu Family, Gu Jin had experienced mental torment. Since she was from the Zhen Family, however, her husband dared not lay his hands on her although she was just a pawn.

The beast had been afraid of touching her, and that was her only consolation.

Some women had also barged into the house with nude photos that made her sick.

However, they had gotten the wrong person. She might have been the Liu Family’s daughter-in-law, but she was only a piece of ornament, a testament of the cooperation between the Zhen and Liu Families.

The Liu Family had taught her about makeup, different fields of knowledge, foreign languages that she would never use, flower arrangements, and everything trendy just so that it would make the family look good.

She appeared to be the good daughter-in-law of the Liu Family in public but a dispensable nanny existence behind the scenes.

It was not until the Liu Family bet on the wrong horse and things became so messed up that they made her a scapegoat. She died as a result.

“Are you okay, Sister Jin?”

Someone shook her arm as a worried voice rang out.

Her remorseful and grim expression disappeared as she looked down at the wild child standing at the height of her waist. She reached down to pat him on the head.

“Follow me home.”

An Mingji gazed at her slender fingers that flashed before his eyes with a complicated expression.

Gu Jin did not notice it since he was looking down.

Then, he looked up and smiled at Gu Jin. “Okay.”

Home?

He did not have a home.

He was not sure if Gu Jin just pitied him or did not mean what she said.

However, he knew that all of this was temporary, not that no one had ever mentioned wanting to bring him home.

There had been others. But those people just wanted to give him a meal or two, or let him stay for a couple of days because they pitied him due to his injuries. After that, they would all just leave him to fend for himself.

He no longer looked forward to anyone wanting to bring him home, so he would not be disappointed again that way.

What Gu Jin said to him now was no different.

Yet, deep down, he still hoped that he could stay by her side for a couple of days more.

Gu Jin held the wild child’s hand as they walked down a familiar but strange road that led them back to her home.

She felt sad with each step she took.

The Gu Family comprised of her grandfather, uncles, aunts, adopted father and mother, a younger brother, and her cousins.

They had been treating her well, so much better than how the Zhen Family had treated her.

At least, the Gu Family respected her as a person even though she had no blood ties to them.

She still remembered, in her past life, when her adopted father, who was in the military, learned that she had returned to the city, he came to look for her. Sadly, she had refused to see him. How stupid she had been.

Her biological parents had been feeding her so much crap that she was unaware of their evil plan.

After she married into the Liu Family, her adopted father came for her again to bring her home.

However, the Liu Family did not want to let her go. They squelched her adopted father and family, who back then had gained some small successes in business. They lost everything because of her.

Gu Jin found some consolation when the Gu Family came to mind.

She would not be that stupid again in this life.

It was sunset when Gu Jin arrived in front of the Gu’s family house with An Mingji.

Her grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousins, and her, all lived in that house.

Beyond the open front gate, her grandfather was sitting in a recliner and smoking on a pipe.

Her aunt was carrying a bundle of firewood into the kitchen to cook the family’s dinner.

Her elder cousin was cutting firewood with sweat trickling down his face.

Meanwhile, her young cousin was playing with her colorful sandbags and kicking shuttlecocks.
