Chapter 419 - 419 420 The Last Time (3)_1
?Chapter 419: Chapter 420: The Last Time (3)_1 Chapter 419: Chapter 420: The Last Time (3)_1 Perhaps she was tired of running, Jing Haohao felt that this small town was remote and not prosperous. Even if Liang Chen tried to find her, he wouldn’t find her in such a small town that can’t even be regarded as a city. By the time he’s searched every city, perhaps a year and a half would have passed.
By then, Liang Chen would have probably forgotten who Jing Haohao is.
All she needed is a year. After a year, she can go to Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, those big cities, to continue to lead the life she wanted.
Therefore, Jing Haohao chose to take a short rest here.
First, she found a hotel, checked in, then went to a nearby mall to pick out a few clothes and toiletries. After returning to the hotel, she took a long hot bath.
It had been six or seven days since she had taken care of herself. An hour later, after she had finally cleaned herself up and put on clean clothes, she was so tired that she went straight to bed without having any dinner.
Jing Haohao fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day.
Life in this small town was comfortable and leisurely, with residents mostly rising early and retiring early. As Jing Haohao pulled back the curtain, she saw the park across the hotel filled with elderly people practicing tai chi.
Jing Haohao stretched, freshened up a bit, had breakfast, and then strolled around the small town.
It was then that Jing Haohao realized this was a small town in the regions south of the Yangtze River, not far from Wuxi.
The town was picturesque. After walking until noon, Jing Haohao stopped at a busy shop for lunch. Afterwards, she found a spot on a bridge overlooking the clear, green water and fish swimming about. Suddenly, everything felt like an unreal dream, terrifyingly so.
Just a few days ago, she had been betrayed by Shen Liangnian and held captive by Liang Chen, her life one of suffering and hardship. But now, here she was, living freely and happily in this beautiful town.
Jing Haohao decided to stay and contacted the local housing agency. Renting in a small town was an easier process compared to the paperwork involved in the big cities. She chose a south-facing one-bedroom apartment and paid half a year’s rent ahead of time.
The apartment was fully furnished, so she didn’t need to buy much. She picked up a mattress and bedding from the mall and added a few more household items, then cleaned the apartment. By the time everything was in order, it was already past eight in the evening.
For the first few days in town, Jing Haohao alternated between aimlessly wandering and being on edge, fearful that Liang Chen might leak their intimate video. She paid close attention to the news every day.
After three or four days passed with no new developments in the entertainment industry or on the Sina Weibo social network, Jing Haohao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed her decision was the right one. Unless you take action, you never know what possibilities lie ahead.
That video involves both of them. If he wanted to ruin her, he’d be ruining himself too.
A smart man like Liang Chen would never engage in such a self-sabotaging action.
From this point onward, she was like any other ordinary girl on the streets, no longer subjected to captivity or a robbery of her dignity.
That night, Jing Haohao slept exceptionally peacefully.
