Chapter 584: Chapter 584
At this moment, Pu Sangzhi and her mother Chen Huifen were staying in a small motel in Cangnan Longgang.
For a whole week, the mother and daughter had been discussing what to do next? How should they settle down?
Since the incident, in this brief period, the two of them had received too much help.
There were good people all around.
Everyone treated them as their own, extending olive branches when they were in distress, reaching out to help them up.
But precisely because of this...
Because everyone was so good to them, it made the mother and daughter even less willing to be a burden on anyone, not wanting to bring trouble to anyone.
The events of the recent period had once played out in Shanghai.
In Shanghai, those debt collectors found the mother and daughter, issuing various threats and intimidation, employing all sorts of tactics, forcing them to hide everywhere.
In the beginning, indeed quite a few people helped them.
At that time, Pu Sangzhi’s class teacher took them in to live at her house, kindly intending to provide Pu Sangzhi with a stable environment to focus on her middle school exams and ensure she could attend high school.
But later, the class teacher also became a target of the debt collectors.
First, the class teacher was cornered at the school gate, and the school’s security guards came to her rescue.
Then, someone splashed red paint on the door of the class teacher’s home, and her family received threats as well...
After that, the mother and daughter had to move out of the class teacher’s home.
The class teacher, quite considerate, had taken steps to arrange for her transfer to another school and encouraged her to try her best to complete her education.
The rental property they had lived in was also trashed by the debt collectors, and the neighbors who came over to help were injured as well.
Those people were only after money, without any boundaries.
Their methods were endless and relentless.
As long as the mother and daughter’s whereabouts were discovered by them, it would always lead to unpredictable troubles.
It was not just them who were threatened; even the people around them could be endangered...
So, originally planning to take a break from school to avoid the situation, Pu Sangzhi decided to leave after receiving a call from Principal Han, learning about the beating of the class teacher because of her...
In the end, she still decided it was best to leave.
The sooner, the better, to avoid bringing more trouble to the people around them.
Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen had been planning for several days.
Was the day to put their plan into action; it was also the day they were leaving.
Until today, the mother and daughter had not revealed their intention to leave to anyone. This way, no one would expect them, and no one would persuade them to stay.
Of course, making such a decision was also very painful for them, very distressing... The source of this content ɪs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
They had to let go despite the pain.
Because they were self-aware, they knew they were not the type to feign ignorance of their disastrous influence, continuing to bring misfortune to those around them.
Early today, after Xu Hui left home, Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen, carrying their suitcases, left the residential area together.
They went to the Rui’an Bus Terminal and took a bus to Cangnan Longgang.
Cangnan Longgang is a small place, even more obscure than Tangxia in Rui’an.
This morning, Pu Sangzhi secretly contacted the office of Longgang Middle School to inquire about the transfer process.
The office told them roughly what they needed to do to transfer, and also informed them that it wouldn’t be easy because the school currently had a full quota of students, reminding them to be mentally prepared.
Transferring required a lot of documentation, but Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen had nothing on them.
With nothing but their luggage, they still took the trip here today.
Pu Sangzhi had left her phone with Chen Huifen because she knew Huo Feng would definitely keep contacting her, sending messages, making calls...
Today was bound to be a particularly stormy day for him.
But once today passed...
As long as he accepted reality, focused on his exams tomorrow, life would still go on, with or without her.
So, for the entire day, Pu Sangzhi didn’t look at her phone, she even dared not to.
She feared she would see a relentless storm of calls from Huo Feng, one after the other, non-stop...
She even believed that if she witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she wouldn’t last long.
Therefore, Pu Sangzhi was spared from seeing Huo Feng’s frenzied state today.
Today, she and Chen Huifen visited the office of Longxiang Middle School.
They had no documents with them, only her middle school exam results slip, which had always been kept in her stationery box and never taken out before.
Under such circumstances, the academic affairs office teachers couldn’t assist her with the transfer.
But when they saw her middle school examination scores, and found out she was ranked first in the city that year on the education website...
With such a promising student, the academic affairs office teachers didn’t dare to let her go easily.
Therefore, Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen spent the entire afternoon sitting in the academic affairs office at Longgang High School.
The academic affairs office teachers were contacting superiors through various channels, eventually locating where Pu Sangzhi was currently registered—at Longxiang High School.
Longgang High School teachers made a call to the academic affairs office at Longxiang School, inquiring about Pu Sangzhi’s wish to transfer.
The staff at the academic affairs office at Longxiang School were bewildered; they quickly brought Huo Mingshan, Pu Sangzhi’s homeroom teacher, into the conversation.
Later, Huo Mingshan established contact with the teachers at Longgang College and found out that Pu Sangzhi had sneakily gone there to sort out a transfer.
Huo Mingshan was very angry at that moment. He flatly refused to provide Pu Sangzhi with transfer materials and stated in person that he represented the school in denying Pu Sangzhi’s wish to transfer. He made it clear, Pu Sangzhi was a student meant to graduate from Longxiang and must not transfer lightly!
Because of Huo Mingshan’s firm refusal, the teachers at Longgang College were at a loss for words.
They could only pass this situation on to Pu Sangzhi and her mother...
Thus, after waiting an entire afternoon, Pu Sangzhi and her mother... felt awkward.
Unable to arrange the transfer, Pu Sangzhi and her mother left Longgang College, and it was already late.
They casually found a hotel nearby and booked a room.
The two of them planned to make do with staying one night, to discuss what to do next?
Chen Huifen asked Pu Sangzhi, if she really wanted to transfer, she must first get past Huo Mingshan, since her current registration materials were all at Longxiang High School, and if Huo Mingshan was unwilling to release her, other schools wouldn’t accept her either.
No matter how good her grades were, even if the school was willing to bend the rules, the normal procedures still had to be followed...
So at this moment, Huo Mingshan became the largest issue in Pu Sangzhi’s quest to transfer.
After discussing it with Chen Huifen all night, in the end, she decided to call Huo Mingshan tomorrow, to have a good talk with him.
Pu Sangzhi believed Huo Mingshan was a good teacher and would surely empathize with her difficulties, and would agree to her request.
This was Pu Sangzhi’s itinerary for the day.
She had been busy from morning until night, all the way to late at night...
By 1:00 a.m., she and Chen Huifen had finally gone to bed.
The exhausted Chen Huifen immediately fell asleep, surely worn out from the day’s hustle and bustle.
Pu Sangzhi, however, tossed and turned on her bed, unable to sleep, her mind a mess, her heart feeling empty...
Late into the night, she couldn’t endure the turmoil in her heart any longer. She secretly got out of bed and took her mother’s mobile phone from Chen Huifen’s bag.
Pu Sangzhi put on her earphones, lay on the bed, and silently watched the 99+ messages that Huo Feng had sent her on the phone...
She knew he would blow up! She knew he must have been frantic today...
Even though she had anticipated it, seeing so many messages still made her sigh heavily, feeling deeply melancholic.
The last message he sent was a voice message...
Pu Sangzhi resisted the urge to open Huo Feng’s chat box. Instead, she logged into her QQ to see if her father had replied?
A long time had passed since the summer incident when she messaged her father.
Pu Sangzhi almost logged into QQ every day to see if there was a reply from her father?
She still naively believed that as soon as her father returned, the situation would definitely improve, and the problems could surely be resolved.
She continued waiting day after day.
Today was another day without news.
Pu Sangzhi sighed and logged out of QQ. She then played the upbeat song "Things" and finally put down the phone.
As for the 99+ messages from Huo Feng, she neither opened them nor dared to.
Pu Sangzhi lay there clutching her phone, gazing blankly at the ceiling.
Looking at the darkness that shrouded the room felt like seeing her own world, draped in shadows.
If her life hadn’t been ...
If she had the life of an ordinary girl, she would also want to be with Huo Feng, to grow up together, from a child into an adult.
But there were no ifs.
She wasn’t worthy of him...
With these thoughts...
Pu Sangzhi’s mood was unspeakably somber.
She lay there in silence, pondering for a very long time...
After some indefinite time, she suddenly picked up her phone again and with trembling fingers, tapped to open those 99+ WeChat messages...
She didn’t know where this courage came from.
