The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses-Chapter 1383 - I Only Want You

She thought to herself, Even if his mother killed me, he probably wouldn’t say anything. After all, he hasn’t visited me for half a month already. He probably doesn’t care whether I’m dead or alive.

Thinking about this, she grew more firm in her decision.

She did not want to die yet. There was still a long road ahead in her life. She did not want to die yet.

She absolutely did not want to die. Absolutely not.

Looking at how Tian Tian appeared as if she wanted to kill her there and then, Jing Chu understood that she did not have much power and that, if they wanted to kill her, it would be as easy and effortless for them as killing an ant.

The Heavens were really unfair to her. Once she went out of the front door, heavy rain started pattering down.

Fat Lass was thrown out as well.

They went to the supermarket and bought two umbrellas, then carried their luggage with them, not knowing where to go.

Fat Lass did not have an identification card, and neither did she.

There was no way they could stay at a motel or a hotel.

At this point, Jing Chu thought of Tang Zhijing.

She originally did not want to disturb this married man, but it seemed that she had to ask him for a favor.

When Tang Zhijing’s car pulled over in front of her, it was already twenty minutes later.

He watched as the two of them stood there carrying their luggage, and he let them get into the car.

“What’s going on?”

“I’ve been chased out by Pei Yi’s mother. I don’t have an identification card either. I want to ask you, what do I need to create an identification card?”

“To create a household register here, you have to own a house. But buying a house needs an identification card and other details. However, if you use money, you will need to spend quite a lot.”

“Around how much will I need to spend?”

“A lot of people from R Nation don’t have a household register. To open one here, it’ll cost around two to three hundred thousand yuan.”

“What?! It’s that expensive?” Jing Chu immediately got rid of this idea.

“You only know the benefits of having a household register, but do you know the disadvantages of this?”

Jing Chu asked, “What disadvantages could there be?”

“Although having a household register has far more pros than cons, there are disadvantages to it as well. For instance, if you stay at a hotel or a motel or rent a house, people can easily track you down.”

“Then, can you send me to the harbor now?”

Tang Zhijing asked, “Why would you go there?”

“To go overseas, of course. I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to find somewhere with nobody and just simply live like that.”

“What, go overseas? There are plenty of people here who don’t have a household register. You’re not the only one.” Tang Zhijing suggested, “Why don’t you stay at my house first? How about that?”

“No.” Jing Chu rejected him directly. She did not forget that he was a married man. She did not want and did not think about staying at his place at all.

“What’s there to be scared of? My wife or mother won’t come and chase you away.”

“Even then, I still don’t want to. I’ll stay at the orphanage first. When it’s not raining anymore, I’ll go and find somewhere to settle down.” With that, she alighted from the car, and Fat Lass followed along as well.

Seeing the situation, Tang Zhijing replied, “In that case, the two of you can go over first. I have something to handle here, I’ll go over soon.”

Jing Chu nodded and headed toward the orphanage together with Fat Lass.

“Sister Jing Chu, who’s that man?”

“He does volunteer work at the orphanage too. He teaches English, and he has done volunteer work there for two years already. Although his personal life may not be exceptionally clean, he’s someone who’s rather compassionate. He and his wife have their own lovers and don’t care about each other. But, even then, we can’t stay at his place. There’s a bank over there, I’ll go and withdraw some money. There’s some money on my card.”

“Alright.”

This was the very card that Tian Tian had offered to her as compensation. With no identification card, she naturally could not get a bank card.

She had not used the money inside all this while, and today was the first time. Also, she left behind the card Pei Yi had given her.

At the thought that there were many places where money needed to be used, she withdrew 20 thousand dollars and headed toward the orphanage with Fat Lass.

When she reached the orphanage, the director arranged her lodging, allowing her to rest there peacefully.

After thanking the director, Jing Chu and Fat Lass both changed into a new set of clothes.

When they were done washing their clothes, Tang Zhijing arrived.

Jing Chu carefully asked, “In which areas do renting a house not require an identification card?”

“In those impoverished estates. But they are situated rather far from here, and they’re quite secluded.”

“That doesn’t matter. When the rain stops, can you bring us there to take a look?”

He nodded and agreed, “Sure.”

However, before the rain had even stopped, the police stopped by the orphanage.

“It’s her.” The police pointed at Jing Chu and went on, “You picked up a bank card and not only did you not hand it over, you even withdrew money from inside. Bring her away.”

Jing Chu’s reaction was rather quick as well. “I didn’t pick up the bank card. Someone ran me over and used it to compensate me. I didn’t pick it up.”

The police did not listen to her and took the bank card as well as the cash she had with her away, along with her.

Not only that, they took Fat Lass with them as well, claiming that she was her accomplice.

Jing Chu clarified this matter to the police all the way to the police station, but no one listened to her.

Tang Zhijing was not even allowed to visit her inside.

No one interrogated her as well.

They simply locked her up.

“Fat Lass, I’m sorry… I’ve implicated you.”

“Sister Jing Chu, it’s fine. I have nowhere to go as well. But what’s with that bank card…?”

Jing Chu explained the matter to her from beginning to end.

After hearing it, Fat Lass was beyond shocked. “Since that money was given to you by Mr. Pei’s wife, why are they locking us up now?”

“Isn’t it obvious enough?” She could already see the situation clearly. “She called the police and said her bank card is missing. So, after we went to withdraw the money, they’re claiming that we withdrew it from a card we picked up. But why didn’t the police ask us how we knew the pin number for the card?”

“Since Mr. Pei knows about this, he’ll definitely help rid you of suspicion. Wasn’t he the one who passed the card to you?”

Jing Chu did not dare to have any hopes at all.

“That’s his wife. Would he pin the blame on her for framing me?” She leaned against the wall, feeling infuriated and aggrieved at the same time. “I’m really stupid, absolutely stupid.”

Fat Lass couldn’t help but exclaim indignantly, “I don’t believe that Mr. Pei doesn’t want to save you at all. He’s so powerful, it’ll be effortless for him to get you out of here.”

Jing Chu hugged her legs tight as she sat there, burying her face into her knees. Her mind was in a completely blank state.

――

In reality, Pei Yi found out that his mother and Tian Tian had gone to the mansion where Jing Chu was staying and that Jing Chu had been brought to the police station almost at the same time as it was happening.

He personaly went to his mother’s place, where Tian Tian was around as well.

“That money was your compensation to her, why are you making things difficult for her?”

“That’s right. That money was originally what I compensated her. But that was when I didn’t know who she was. If I knew that she had a relationship with you, I would’ve stepped on the accelerator and ran her down. Would I have compensated her?”

Pei Yi’s gaze turned completely cold. “You’re really wicked.”

“Enough!” Mrs. Pei bellowed before coughing a few times. “Is Tian Tian or that slut important? Tian Tian is your wife, you’re having a woman outside and she’s still trying her best to control her emotions. You still have the decency to scold her? I’m already being merciful for not killing that woman. Don’t even think about concerning yourself about her!”
