Chapter 005 Safe and sound

…

Two young women scrambled out of the deep forest… one limping, while the other has a disheveled look. With one look, one could already tell that they have suffered from this experience.

While walking out of the forest, Jing Meilie suddenly burst into tears. Her pent-up feeling suddenly came crashing in and she could not control her emotion anymore.

Jing Meilie, the only daughter of Tang Senya and Jing Kian, is a college student majoring in music and arts. She is one of Jing Clan's 2nd generation young miss. But she and her mother were kicked out of the clan after her father suddenly died in an accident and her uncle took over the position of the head of the clan.

They were suddenly accused of a crime they did not know. So she and her mother were kicked out and from then on suffered from the secret scheming of other members of the clan.

Luckily, her mother is very resourceful and has used the resources left by her late father to save their lives.

But even after moving out of the capital, they were still not spared an ounce of leniency and suffered one scheme after another. But luck would always be on their side and has not suffered that much.

Then… only a month after transferring to Vie city, she was kidnapped and was brought to this place and suffered so much which made her feel really sad.

When her father was alive, she lived a good life. She was his princess and her mother his queen. They were both pampered by her father as he treated them with love, kindness, and affection.

She could still remember those days when her family would always be together. The fun times and the adoration she would always receive from her father and mother.

She suddenly feels that she truly missed her father.

As she remembers those days, tears would not stop falling down her eyes which made her vision blurry.

Suddenly, she lost her footing and was about to fall when she feels a soft hand grabbing her arm.

"It's already dark, you should be careful with your steps."

Jing Meilie was a bit startled but came to her senses when she realized that she is being held by the woman who saved her.

"Ahh… Sorry… I… I did not…"

"It's okay… It's okay to cry…" Sung Jisoo said but stopped as she suddenly feels a bit weird with her words… again.

The chaotic feeling in her emotions and her changing personalities seem a bit new and interesting to her, but it still made her feel weird.

When Jing Meilie heard this, she bit her lips and began quivering. Then, her tears continue falling as she suddenly cried loudly.

"Aw damn… She did really cry…" Sung Jisoo thought as one of her eyebrows twitched while looking at Jing Meilie.

She awkwardly extended her hand and then slowly patted Jing Meilie's shoulder. She had seen some of the female sect members of her sect doing this to their companions when they were crying.

She wanted to give a hug, but she did not think that it would be the right thing to do as they are not that close yet. So all she could do now is to awkwardly pat her shoulder.

Feeling the awkward patting on her shoulder, Jing Meilie is a bit touched. She did not expect that this stranger would actually console her at this time. She not only save her life and her honor but also would console her.

She is truly grateful for her luck in meeting this stranger. Well, she and her mother always have this kind of luck in their lives, so she just feels grateful as usual.

From the way the woman looks, she is not that different in age as her. She seems to be also in her 20s. And her clothes seem to be those worn in ancient times as inner robes.

She could tell that this woman came from a prominent family judging from her skin and looks. But how to find her identity is something they could only do once they came back to the city.

The two continue walking and soon arrived at the roadside where the car is parked.

Seeing the sedan car, Jing Meilie quickly runs to it and checked if the key is in there. And to her surprise, those guys truly left the key in the car as she suspected.

"Get inside!" Jing Meilie called while waving her hand.

Seeing the car, Sung Jisoo frowns as although she had seen such a thing in her new memory, she has not ridden one before.

"This is called a car… What an interesting thing…" she thought as she observes the car.

"It looks good, but it is too brittle…" she thought as she continues to observe the car and the material used to make it.

As she walks to the side of the car, the door was suddenly opened by Jing Meilie from the inside. Sung Jisoo hesitated for a bit then enters the car while her gaze roams around inside it.

This made Jing Meilie smile. She did not expect the young woman to seem to be unfamiliar with the car. But she did not say anything and just showed a faint smile and asked.

"Have you not seen a car before?"

Sung Jisoo subconsciously shake her head as she awkwardly showed a faint smile.

"Well, since this is your first time taking a car, you should learn to put your seatbelt on first…" Jing Meilie said as she pointed at the seat belt.

Sung Jisoo showed confusion in her eyes as she looks at where Jing Meilie is pointing. But she did not move as she did not know what to do.

Jing Meilie then move to try and reach the seatbelt, a blush appears on her face when she got close to Sung Jisoo. She did not know why but when she saw the beautiful and attractive face of Sung Jisoo, she could not help but feel shy.

Well, she could not help it as the woman is truly beautiful making one admire her more when in close proximity.

After putting also her seatbelt on, Jing Meilie drives the car as she heaves a deep sigh. She is glad that she was able to make it out alive from that horrible place.

The trip to the city took them more than an hour because Jing Meilie drives slowly. This gives Sung Jisoo time to admire everything she is seeing for the first time in this world.

And when she saw this, Jing Meilie continues to drive slowly, and Sung Jisoo enjoys the scenery.

The anxiousness she has felt before has now been changed by a smile on her pretty face while seeing the innocent look on Sung Jisoo's curious face.

Actually, Sung Jisoo wanted to be reserved and indifferent, but she could not help but show interest in everything she is seeing for the first time. Although she has a lot of memory about this world, all she could remember are wooden houses, old lamps, rough roads, and trees.

The memory is truly lacking.

And so she could not help but be curious of everything around her like a country bumpkin which is the memory given to her by this world.

"We are here! This is Vie City… a small city in Province Eph." Jing Meilie began to explain as the car enters the city borders.

It did not take long before they soon could reach the district where Jing Meilie and her mother are staying.

The district has a private subdivision, where most of the owners could be considered to have an above-average way of living.

The house in this place was named under Jing Meilie's mother, but it was bought by her father when he was still alive.

It is a secret property that the Jing clan did not know of.

Jing Meilie looks for a place where there are no CCTV cameras. After a while, they soon found a space where there are some tall grasses on a field.

"We will leave this car here…" Jing Meilie said as she turns off the engine.

She then began fixing herself while looking at the mirror of the car. After she is contended of how she looks, and has removed some traces of wounds, and covered the others with her extra clothing from her backpack, she alighted from the car.

She has lost her mobile phone in this incident, so she could not call to inform her mom. She could only pray that her mom had not worried too much.

"You… you should fix yourself… too…" Jing Meilie said but stopped.

Sung Jisoo is very pretty and her hair seems to fall in the right places. It was as if nothing has happened to her. Only, the slight trace of blood on her skirt is the problem. However, since it is already dark, then it would not be that conspicuous.

When Sung Jisoo heard Jing Meilie's words, she frowns and then quickly ties up her long hair and in just a few minutes turn it into a bun.

Jing Meilie was a bit astounded and then gave Sung Jisoo one of her pens to be used as a hairpin.

"Hmm… interesting…" Sung Jisoo said as a smile blooms on her pretty face upon seeing the pen.

She knew what the pen is for, but she also realized that it could also be used as a hairpin.

The two then left the car and walked out of that place and has soon arrived in the subdivision.

The guards manning the entrance saw the two beautiful women, and they could not help but admire their beauties and temperament.

"Hello! Good evening!" Jing Meilie greeted with a smile.

When the guards saw her beautiful smiling face, they could not help but also show a smile.

"Young miss Jing, have you just left school?" a middle-aged guard suddenly said as he touches his hat to greet the young woman.

"Yeah… I have a lot of stuff at school. I'm with my friend, so…"

"Alright, you should go home now, your mom might get worried…" the middle-aged guard said as he let the two pass through the gate.

Jing Meilie held Sung Jisoo's hands as they walked through the pedestrian path.

"That woman with the young miss… she looks very pretty."

"Yeah, I mean she looks like a star, and her body is really hot…"

"She also has that innocent look too…"

The young guards began to talk as they admire Sung Jisoo's beauty. But the middle-aged man did not say anything.

A profound look is in his eyes as he could not help but shake his head.

"Young fools… They only see her innocent expression and beauty. They could not feel that terrifying aura around her…" he thought as he turn around with a shaking head and enters the guardhouse.
