Chapter 357 I Don’t Want to Marry an Old Man
An Shiya thought it was ridiculous. "Dad, I don't love him, how can I marry him? And he's already fifty years old, why are you doing this to me? I..." Before she could finish her words, her father interrupted her.
"What's wrong with being fifty? He gave me a two million betrothal gift?" my father sneered. "Look at you now. You're having an affair with a man who came from nowhere, and I caught you in a hotel. Do you think you have any choice?"
An Shiya's tears burst out again, and she retorted: "I won't marry, I won't marry even if I die. Why don't you let An Shiyuan marry? Why are you so cruel to me? But at this moment, she felt that her explanation was so powerless, and her father would not listen to her at all.
"Dad, I beg you, don't force me." An Shiya grabbed her father's sleeve and begged bitterly.
An Shiya was forcibly dragged into the car by her father, Ander De. She struggled and begged throughout the journey, but Ander De remained unmoved, determined to marry her to the fifty-year-old man. The car sped away and soon returned home. An Shiya was locked in her room, the door locked from behind, her freedom completely taken away.
"Let me out! Dad, you can't do this to me!" An Shiya banged on the door, screaming at the top of her lungs, but all she got in response was silence. She collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.
She looked around and saw only windows. An idea struck her, and she took out all her clothes and tied them into a knot.
An Shiya's hands trembled as she hurriedly pulled out pieces of clothing, her fingers turning slightly white with anxiety and fear. She had only one thought in her mind: escape, escape from this nightmare marriage forced upon her by her father.
As the clothes were connected piece by piece, the rope grew longer. An Shiya's heartbeat grew faster and faster, each beat like a hammer hitting her chest. She kept glancing at the closed door, fearing her father would suddenly push it open and snuff out her last hope.
Finally, the rope was tied, and An Shiya laboriously tied one end to the window railing. She held the rope tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and prepared to climb down. Her palms were covered in sweat, and every breath was trembling.
Just as her feet stepped out of the window, her body suspended in mid-air, a sudden commotion erupted from downstairs. An Shiya was startled and, frantically, looked down to see her father, Ander, standing downstairs, talking with a few strangers. Her heart instantly rose to her throat, and her hands instinctively tightened their grip on the rope, her knuckles turning white from the strain.
Ander seemed to notice something and suddenly looked up at An Shiya's room. When their eyes met, An Shiya saw the anger and shock in her father's eyes.
"An Shiya, come back right now!" Andre roared, his voice echoing in the air, full of majesty and unquestionable.
An Shiya did not retreat. She gritted her teeth and continued to climb down. At this moment, she had only one belief in her heart: freedom and the desire to be with Gu Yuxuan.
Seeing this, Ander rushed into the house with his men. An Shiya sped up, ignoring the pain in her palms from being rubbed by the ropes, and she only wanted to escape before her father arrived.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, Andre had already opened the window. "You disobedient girl, wait and see what I'll do to you when I catch you!" He roared, his voice filled with anger and helplessness.
An Shiya limped to a crowded place and found a place to hide.
An Shiya hid in a dark corner, afraid to breathe, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, threatening to burst through. Her legs ached from her narrow escape, her ankles stabbing with pain, and every breath trembled. She stared fixedly at the street, fearing her father, Ander, would suddenly appear.
On the street, Andre chased out breathlessly, his eyes full of anger and anxiety. He kept looking around and muttering, "Where on earth did this girl run to?" His voice seemed a little weak in the noisy street. The pedestrians around him hurried past, and no one paid any attention to this angry man.
An Shiya watched her father searching the streets for her, a mixture of emotions welling up in her. She knew her father was insisting on marrying her to that fifty-year-old man for the two million yuan in betrothal gifts, but she simply couldn't accept such a fate. Gu Yuxuan, the man she'd loved so deeply, involuntarily popped up in her mind. At that moment, she desperately wished for his protection.
An Shiya endured the pain in her body, carefully walked out of the corner, and blended into the crowd. She knew that she couldn't stay here for long and had to find a safe place. She dragged her tired body and called Gu Yuxuan on her phone.
At this moment, Gu Yuxuan's cell phone suddenly rang, and the three words "An Shiya" on the caller ID instantly attracted his attention.
Seeing this name, Gu Yuxuan's face instantly darkened. He unconsciously clenched his hands, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. Unbearable scenes from that night flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern: he was unconscious, and under the influence of drugs, he spent an absurd night with a strange woman. He had never expected that she would be right under his nose. If it weren't for that kiss, he wouldn't have suspected that the woman he had spent that night with was An Shiya.
But he didn't expect that when he checked the surveillance footage, Mo Wanting and Qin Niannian were there. An Shiya actually said that all this was Mo Wanting's plan and that Mo Wanting had drugged them. Although the surveillance footage showed that it was indeed Mo Wanting who did it, he was unwilling to acknowledge the gentle, kind, pure and innocent Bai Yueguang. How could he believe An Shiya's words? Instead, he felt that this was an excuse for her behavior.
Gu Yuxuan's eyes were filled with disgust and determination. He clenched his teeth, his cheeks slightly puffed, and without hesitation, he stretched out his finger and pressed the hang-up button. The "beep" of the busy tone seemed to be his final verdict on An Shiya.
An Shiya looked at the "Call Ended" display on her phone and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her hands drooped weakly, and the phone almost slipped. She had never imagined that when she was most helpless and needed Gu Yuxuan the most, he would actually hang up the phone.
At this moment, An Shiya saw Ander De and a group of people found her. At this time, An Shiya knelt on the ground in despair. Ander De looked at An Shiya and said viciously: "Where do you want to run to, you unfilial daughter? You must come back with me today and marry Boss Chen. Stop struggling in vain!"
An Shiya raised her tear-stained face, her eyes full of pleading: "Dad, I beg you, don't force me, I really don't love him, I don't want to marry him."
"Love? Can love be eaten?" Ander sneered, "Boss Chen gave us two million as a betrothal gift. This is a great opportunity to change our family's destiny. Don't be ungrateful!"
An Shiya looked at Ander De viciously and said, "Ander De, you are a beast! Why do you treat me like this when we are both your daughters? What did I do wrong?"
Ander's face turned ashen in an instant. He stepped forward, raised his hand and hit An Shiya in the face, saying viciously: "You are my daughter, so you have to think about the An family. Your sister is frail and sickly, and I can't bear to let her go, so I introduced this matter to you." After that, he ordered someone to force An Shiya into the car and drove away.
