Chapter 186 Looking for a Woman Called Janet Shao
"Wow, this girl is pretty hot! I really don't want to let her go!" one of the gangsters said.
"Right, let's have her! We can all share!" another gangster said.
The group of gangsters slowly approached Janet, while they were saying those dirty words.
Janet was furious, and she kicked away the man nearest to her, then another kick to another man...
When she was about to kick the third man, Tiger came up and grabbed her. Janet struggled with her
wrists and yelled, "Let me off! You son of a bitch! Get your dirty hands off me!"
"You dare say my hands are dirty? You bitch!" Tiger was irked, so he slapped Janet heavily on her face.
The other men then came over and surrounded Janet. They cornered her on the ground, punching and
kicking her.
"Please stop! I will give all my money to you, please! I am pregnant..." Bearing all the hits on her body,
Janet tried hard to protect her belly with her arms.
Her belly was already aching. Fortunately, those men still had a little sympathy in their hearts. When
they heard that she was pregnant, they stopped punching and kicking.
"Give us all of your money!" One of them went to open and search Janet's luggage.
Janet bent forward to protect her luggage and took out her purse from one side of the suitcase. She
then handed them half of her cash.
"That's all my money, " said Janet.
"Are you kidding me? There's still some money inside!" Tiger grabbed her purse and took out all the
cash.
They didn't want to leave a single penny to her. Janet was furious again, and she yelled, "Bastard! Give
me back my purse!"
Tiger then slapped her face and shouted, "You bitch! Who are you calling a bastard? Do you really
want me to kill your baby?"
The man was wearing a vicious and angry face, which infuriated Janet that she had to gnaw on her
lower lip with her teeth to keep silent for her baby's safety.
Those gangsters not only took all her money away, but they also took her phone.
A gust of wind blew over the narrow alleyway where Janet was left alone. The darkness of the night
was horrible, and she was now huddling herself up in the corner, and she... felt regretful now.
She regretted that she had covertly left her house. She missed her father, mother, great grandmother,
grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister-in-law, and also... Daniel.
She really missed them so much now.
The night was so quiet, and only Janet's hysterical crying sound could be heard.
She kept crying, until the moment she fell asleep, leaning against the wall.
The next morning, Janet woke up and found she was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
Some old people, who were about to do some morning exercises, curiously scanned Janet. She looked
awful and miserable.
Janet felt embarrassed, and her face flushed red. She massaged her aching legs, and then stood up
from the ground.
"Young girl, what's wrong with you?" An old woman with white hair stopped and asked her.
Janet shook her head and smoothened her hair with her hands. She said, "It's nothing serious."
"Look, your face and your clothes are so dirty. Come to my house and have a wash first!" The old
woman offered her in a kind manner.
Janet touched her own face and felt that there might be some dirty things on it, so she didn't refuse and
said, "Okay, thank you very much!"
The old woman then led Janet to her house. It was a small and simple courtyard house, but quite a lot
of people were living together in it.
Janet washed her face and put on a set of clean clothes. Then, she came out and said goodbye to the
old woman.
"Young girl, my daughter-in-law cooked some food for breakfast. Have some food before you leave!"
said the old woman. She dragged Janet by her hand and took her to the room next door. There was
already a group of family members sitting there.
They all focused their attention on Janet, and one of them asked, "Who's that young girl?"
"This girl slept on the streets last night. I asked her to come to wash and change her clothes, " said the
old woman. She then made her sit on one of the chairs. Janet felt embarrassed, so she smiled at them.
She didn't try to refuse the old woman's goodwill and kindness because she needed the help, and she
was really hungry.
Then, everybody kept silent, and Janet had a full breakfast. When she was about to leave, she held the
old woman's hands and said, "Grandma, I am sorry that I don't have any money on me now. I have
nothing to give to you, but I'll remember your help. One day, when I'm all right again, I'll definitely come
back to visit you."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
When the old woman heard that she had no money on her, she immediately fumbled in her own pocket
and took out a cloth bag. There was about a hundred bucks in it. She handed it to Janet and said, "I
have some money here. Take it."
When Janet was about to refuse it, the old woman's daughter-in-law came up to them. She stared at
Janet and said to the old woman, "Mother, what are you doing? There are so many liars these days.
You've already treated her to a meal. Why are you still giving money to her?"
Janet didn't care about her words and smiled. She handed back the money to the old woman and said,
"Grandma, thank you for your kindness. I don't need it. I'm going to look for a job now."
The old woman stared back at her daughter-in-law and said, "Look, she's such a beautiful girl. How
could she possibly be a liar?"
Janet was deeply moved by this old woman, but in the end, she still refused to accept her money.
When she left her house, she looked at her house number plate and memorized it.
She also kept in mind the man called Tiger, who punched her last night.
After she came out of the old woman's house, Janet went to the police station. The policeman asked
her to make a simple testimony about the event, then asked her to leave.
"I don't have my phone now. How would I know about the result of the investigation?" Before she left,
she inquired the policeman.
But the policeman merely glanced at her and said, "Come back to ask about the result yourself two
days later."
His attitude made Janet so angry that she gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists tight... After a long
while, she had loosened her fists.
She came out of the police station and sat on the door for a short moment. Then, she stood up and
started to look for a job.
She could only make desserts, so she paid attention to each cake shop along the road.
However, most of the cake shops didn't need to employ any more workers. The few cake shops that
needed workers provided a very low salary. One of them only gave 2000 per month, which was about a
half of the salary she used to give her workers.
Sitting on the bench in a park, for the first time in her life, Janet felt the bitterness and hardship of life.
Then, two girls walked behind her, browsing the news on their phones. "Look, Daniel Si, that CEO who
owns an international group! He just reposted Jerry Shao's Weibo post, which wrote that they are
looking for a woman called Janet Shao!"
"Yes, I see. I heard that they will offer a reward of huge amount of money. Whoever can send Janet
Shao back home will be offered 100 million as a reward!" one of them said.
"My god! One hundred million! I could never earn such amount of money even for two lifetimes!" the
other girl said. The two girls walked farther and farther from Janet. Then, she suddenly stood up from
the bench, dragged her luggage, and followed them.
When she was about to open her mouth to talk to them, Janet stopped.
She thought of the baby in her belly and wondered what she should do. What if she couldn't keep her
baby if she returned home?
But she really wanted to go back home now...
It was almost lunch time, and Janet was so hungry, but she didn't have any money on her.
She buried her face between her knees. Then, Janet decided to take out some of her expensive
clothes, which were in good condition. She went back to the first pawnshop and sold them at a cheap
price.
Before she came out, she gripped those several thousand tightly and cautiously looked around to make
sure there weren't any suspicious men again. After confirming her safety, she came out of the
pawnshop.
Before the evening, she finally found a job. This shop provided a salary of 3000 for the first month,
without meals and accommodation. Then, the salary would increase to 5000 from the second month
onward.
It was much better than those shops that gave measly 2000 or 2500, so Janet immediately took the
job.
Janet finally got her job, and she was so happy that she found a small inn and slept there for one night,
that was worth about one hundred bucks.
