The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 189: Chapter 187: Sixteen Years

"If you're free, have sfruit. I'm busy now." Luna was busy playing mobile games and had absolutely no time

to pay attention to Elliana Lyle, who cto see her.

Just watch her move directions with her left-hand pinky while pressing skills with her index finger, playing with

such fluidity as if she didn’t need to use both hands at all.

"Why do | feel like your left hand is smoother than your right?" Watching her play, Elliana Lyle couldn't help but

ask.

After all, she couldn't possibly operate with one hand, let alone her left.

"Because | was left-handed when | was little."

Seeing Luna fully immersed in her game, she didn’t want to disturb her, so she lay diagonally on the sofa

instead. She had to admit that this room was quite spacious, equipped with everything, even a small kitchen.

Luna wouldn't feel stifled recuperating here.

Taking advantage of Luna’s gaming break, she started to browse videos. The first one was an official news

release from Wyen.

A few photos, plus ssegments, with the title below: A certain Ye, due to excessive defense, led to the deaths

of two people. After court trials, the judgment was as follows: ...

"Sixteen years of fixed-term imprisonment" reflected in her eyes.

Why does this incident seem so familiar? After sthought, she followed the link below to check the complete

event.

[Seven adolescent girls were trafficked; as of now, only six have been rescued, and one even went missing in the

hospital...]

No need to check further; she already knew. She hurriedly sat up, "Luna, something’s happened!"

"What is it? Tell me."

"Last time, you said the girl who took down the bald guy has been sentenced."

After a few seconds of silence, Luna quickly put down her phone and snatched Elliana’s over, her eyebrows

furrowing deeper the more she watched the video.

"Damn!" Luna entered cursing mode, speaking rapidly while cursing in varied ways.

"Breathe, take it easy, calm down." She quickly comforted Luna, worried her excitement might injure her barely

healing arm.

Luna remained angry, saying, "If she hadn't killed him, she'd be the one dead! Sixteen years? Are they out of

their minds? What do they mean by causing the deaths of two people? Didn't they thoroughly investigate?"

Upon hearing these words, Elliana Lyle remained silent, only speaking after Luna finished cursing, "We'll help her

appeal, let Li Si go."

——Wyen.

Holy Spring Town.

"Look, that girl was trafficked and now she’s back. Who knows if she’s clean or not."

Five middle-aged women were sitting at a shop entrance, pointing and sneering or showing disdain at the girl

passing by.

A woman in a mustard-colored floral dress with pockmarks gave the girl who hadn't yet walked far a disdainful

sneer and ordered, "You know, if it were me, I'd hang myself long ago, just like her shameless sister."

"Oh dear, as they say, better a bad life than a good death. Marry someone from out of town; who would know

about her dirty deeds?"

"Whose son is so unlucky..."

These hurtful and piercing words deeply hurt the girl’s heart. She didn’t pretend not to hear them; she simply

acted like she didn’t.

Returning, she'd thought she could start anew, never expecting such gossip and rumors.

Her nis Yan Xue; she just graduated from vocational high school with a degree in early childhood education.

She could've started an internship, but now the kindergarten didn’t want her.

Today, like previous days, she hoped to find work in the town, but ended up with the sresult.

No one in town was willing to hire her; they said she was tainted.

Originally planning to try her luck in the city, her parents firmly opposed, forcing her to find work to support

herself while refusing to let her leave the town.

Walking to a secluded corner, tears welled up uncontrollably as she checked her phone, seeing a message from

her mother asking her to chfor dinner.

And, as expected, she saw the sentencing result of her fellow rescued sister, instantly feeling both anger and

helpless acceptance.

Sixteen years—how many sixteen years can one have in a lifetime? This life, it’s essentially ruined.

"Sisters, how are you all doing today?" The message was sent in the group chat of the rescued sisters.

They exchanged contact information in the hospital, naturally adding each other afterward.

Charlotte King: "Not good at all. My grandma wants to marryoff to a fifty-year-old bachelor. | ran away today.

I'm going to start being self-sufficient."

Yan Xue @Charlotte King: "Go for it."

Liu Jiaxin: "...I don’t get it; my family cares forso much, how can your family be so heartless? If you need

help, cfind me, sisters."

Soon, Liu Jiaxin sent 200-yuan red envelopes to everyone in the group, totaling a thousand for five people,

though one didn’t claim it.

They knew Liu Jiaxin lived in the city, had a good family situation, was both wealthy and had good parents; she

had what they envied but could never have.

Sometimes, Yan Xue wondered, why were the disparities between people so vast?

Seeing Charlotte King’s message, she also had the idea to secretly escape, no matter her parents’

disagreement!

Thinking it over, she didn’t even want to go back to pack her things. With over three hundred yuan in hand, she

planned to head to the city right then.

Liu Jiaxin lived in North City, and a slow train ticket from Wyen to North City was just 197 yuan, but the ride

lasted a whole day, nearly 24 hours.

Once in North City, she could seek Liu Jiaxin’s help, possibly staying one night, avoiding ending up on the

streets, and then look for work the next day. Getting into a factory would be ideal.

In fact, she could join a factory anywhere; she just felt North City wouldn't leave her isolated. With the goodness

of Liu Jiaxin, having such a friend meant she wouldn't fear dying outside.

Moreover, at worst, she still had a sister she’d lost contact with for years.

Thus, she messaged Liu Jiaxin privately.

"I want to cto North City to find you, is that okay? Ill just stay one night and then I'll look for a job."

She thought of treating Liu Jiaxin to a nice meal once she got her paycheck and repay that 200 yuan, considering

it borrowed from Liu Jiaxin.

Liu Jiaxin: "Sure, when will you arrive? I'll pick you up."

"Probably the morning after tomorrow."

After this discussion, she got on the shuttle heading to Wyen.

——Meanwhile.

North City Airport.

Li Si, carrying a briefcase and dragging a suitcase, started rushing toward the check-in counter, as he had to go

to Wyen to help a girl.

Though unwilling to go, he had to as arranged by Elliana Lyle.

The journey wasn’t lengthy, after merely an hour and a half, the plane arrived at Wyen Airport.

However, arriving in Wyen was merely the first step. The second step involved locating the girl he was meant to

assist.

Since Luna hadn't yet provided him with the exact address, he could only wait.

After an hour, he finally saw Luna send an address.

After a ten-minute subway ride, during the peak off-work hours, he was nearly crushed by the crowd. He finally

got off and, navigating the address, found the girl's home—only to be mistaken for a swindler!

"Get lost, swindler! If you don’t, I'll call the police!" A burly man glared at him, seemingly ready to tear him to

shreds the next second.

Li Si remained fearless, handing over a business card, seriously stating, "This is my business card, please contact
