The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Chapter 374: New Life

For Zhou Yanbai’s disappearance, Jiang Nanshu had tortured him for a month with no one coming to his rescue.

Even in Port City, no one cared about his whereabouts.

Day by day, Zhou Yanbai grew desperate, convinced that even though he was captured by Jiang Nanshu, the police would soon find him based on the clues he had left. By that time, Jiang Nanshu would be sentenced for unlawful detention, and he could seize the opportunity to take Jiang Nanshu’s money again!

That’s why he risked himself and willingly let Jiang Nanshu’s men take him away.

But where were the people to rescue him?

Where were the police?

Jiang Nanshu, that malicious woman, tormented him every day in different ways.

In just a month, he had become skin and bones, and his clothes hadn’t been changed all month, reeking of stench, and even taking a bath was a luxury he couldn’t afford. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The physical torture was bearable compared to the psychological torment.

Jiang Nanshu wouldn’t let him sleep.

Anytime he closed his eyes, a burst of loud noise would instantly wake him up, and at night, there was an intensely bright incandescent light in the room that made his eyes water, causing his mind to be tightly wound and disoriented all day long.

Suddenly, the door burst open. The creaking sound frightened Zhou Yanbai into curling up in a corner, screaming, as Jiang Nanshu walked in wearing high heels and immediately smelled a foul odor.

Looking beneath him, there was a wet patch.

Her expression cold, her lips slightly curled, she said, "How disgusting, Zhou Yanbai, is this all it takes for you to break down?"

Hearing Jiang Nanshu’s voice, Zhou Yanbai moved his hands and looked over.

Jiang Nanshu was standing over him, looking down.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of déjà vu, and the scene felt eerily familiar.

It took him back eight years.

After Zhou Yanxu died, he first stepped into that courtyard house, a place that bore too many traces of his elder brother, which he eventually razed with fire.

Poor brother, why did you abandon me to raise someone unrelated to you by blood?

I was your real brother. We were the real family.

You knew I was ill, yet you left.

Zhou Yanbai thought Zhou Yanxu’s death was a relief, as he wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore.

That’s why he sought out Jiang Nanshu.

The fifteen-year-old girl with bright eyes and white teeth was well-cared-for. Those clear eyes gazing at him ignited a strong desire to shatter her innocence.

He wanted to see if the naive girl raised by his brother could still remain pure after he dragged her into hell.

Initially, it was like a cat playing with a mouse, tormenting her slowly from her studies, making it impossible for her to pursue education normally, then infiltrating her life so she couldn’t live normally either.

Later, he learned the arsonist he had hired died.

Jiang Nanshu became one of the suspects, but eventually, she cleared her name and even had her own brother sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Zhou Yanbai found the turn of events intriguing.

So, he forcefully confined Jiang Nanshu to a small cabin, finding mere bullying of a girl too low.

He wanted to break her bones, to tell her that she was just a dog raised by the benevolent Zhou Yanxu. Now that the master was dead, either she finds a new master or dies.

But Jiang Nanshu’s spine was too rigid; she refused to bow, and he could no longer be blamed for being ruthless.

He quite liked her face.

No wonder his brother did too.

Later, a disheveled and filthy Jiang Nanshu shattered that beautiful image he once had of her.

He simply smiled condescendingly at her, "How disgusting, Jiang Nanshu, do you regret defying my decision? Don’t look at me with such hatred; we’re barely getting started."

The memories abruptly stopped.

Jiang Nanshu could grit her teeth and refuse to plead even for a moment.
