"Oh thank God! You're safe!" The parents couldn't contain the happiness they felt after seeing their child and cherished her with all their heart.
Worry plastered on their faces as they had seen their child's injuries but being alive was what mattered most.
Soon after, a few housemaids came out of the gate of the mansion and took the child with them to clean her up and tend her wound.
"You know how much I owe you. But before anything else, do you need any help?"
The child's mother genuinely asked, her eyes scanned her body from head to toe, observing also her clothes were covered in blood with few wounds from the scratches she got.
Although she wears dark clothes and a dark leather jacket, the red bloodstain was still evident and a little splattered on her face.
"No need. Thank you." Wu Xiuxin just tersely said with a blank expression, her hands were inside her leather pockets it seemed as though there was nothing to worry about.
"Miss Wu, we're very thankful for your help. We cannot thank you enough for saving our child," the father said, extending a black duffel bag filled with a million yuan.
"I think this could help."
The father's hand became sore waiting for her to take it as the duffel bag was left in the air and Wu Xiuxin not even drawing any attention to it.
"I am terribly sorry Mr. and Mrs. Han, but I don't accept any cash," she said flatly.
Wu Xiuxin took a piece of paper from her pocket and a pen to write down her bank details.
"If you don't mind please send it to my bank account."
She handed it over without waiting for their response, then turned toward the car where her friend was waiting.
If not for the child's cry, she might not have realized what she was about to do earlier. That single sound pulled her away from her violent thoughts and contacted her friend right away.
Knowing that she got a trauma from the past, it still does not give her the reason to stop doing what she wants.
On the other hand, her friend, Li Mei sighed when she came back, feeling disappointed in her.
She has been annoyed about what Wu Xiuxin was doing with her life. Living together with her is a pain in the ass!
Li Mei knew how hard headed Wu Xiuxin was back then but she couldn't believe that after the incident it would get more severe.
She doesn't know how they even became friends when they are both totally opposite.
Li Mei did not budge nor turn the engine on and glanced at her sickly when Wu Xiuxin finally took her seat.
"How many times have I told you to avoid these things?" Li Mei initially spoke but it wasn't even the first time she'd ever asked about this. Like she knows she might have been made of rock as hard as she is.
"It's none of your business," Wu Xiuxin sparingly uttered. Even Wu Xiuxin was too fed up to listen to her nagging voice once again. Her hand caught her chin and her presence was on the outside of the window.
"None of my business, my ass. Isn't this because of that?" Li Mei pertaining to her condition.
Wu Xiuxin chose silence and didn't even bother to talk back. She was still wearing her blank expression despite getting tired of fighting with those culprits as if nothing happened.
She just let the words that came out from her friend's mouth passed through the other side of her ear.
"Didn't the doctor tell you that you shouldn't force yourself to find it out? Your situation might get worse if you keep doing that," Li Mei added and sighed.
This time she turned the engine alive and started driving.
Wu Xiuxin didn't need to raise her voice or argue. Her silence spoke louder than any words, showing that she remained undefeated against Li Mei. As always, Li Mei found herself unable to challenge her, and that unreadable poker face only deepened her frustration.
Wu Xiuxin's expression is an indication that she is winning even without saying a word.
Li Mei sighed once again, "Anyways, Madam Zhou had already helped with getting us to go to a new school. Next week will be the start of the school year. Would you go?"
"I'll think about it," Wu Xiuxin finally spoke.
It's not that she didn't want to go but the only problem is the money. She doesn't want to keep relying on Madam Zhou or even Li Mei. They had been helping a lot since the day she lost her memories.
That is the reason why she started accepting a job like what she did earlier. Saving people from risk could get her a lot of money.
Just as they were about to arrive, a notification from Wu Xiuxin's phone rang.
She opened it and it said: "You have successfully received 1,000,000 CNY to your account."
Wu Xiuxin took a deep breath and said, "I guess I'll go."
Li Mei started to look confused by her sudden change of decision and just shrugged her shoulders off.
