Chapter 2721 - 2714: Dark Abyss

The old lady was pleased when she heard that: "Alright, alright, let’s do this. Today, let Wanwan help you with the work."

"Okay." The shop owner was delighted. This was his purpose in coming here.

"Wanwan, stop working, come in quickly." The old lady raised her voice to call her granddaughter, who was working in the yard, inside.

Jiang Wanwan lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing her grandmother chatting happily with the shop owner, she hung her head and stood to the side.

"Your Grandpa Shi has helped us a lot. From today on, you should go to his shop and lend a hand for a while every day."

Jiang Wanwan felt a chill all over her body upon hearing this: "Can I not..."

"You don’t want to go?" The shop owner’s brow furrowed.

"That’s not acceptable. Grandpa Shi has done so much for us, we can’t let his help go to waste. You have to go..."

Jiang Wanwan’s mind went blank as she listened to her grandmother’s lengthy speech. Ultimately, she nodded in confusion to agree.

Her grandmother was satisfied when Wanwan finally agreed and nodded contentedly. Little did she know that this decision would push her granddaughter into a dark abyss.

The sun set, and dusk arrived.

As she looked at the dim sky, Jiang Wanwan’s heart was increasingly filled with fear and sadness. She no longer wanted to go to that small dark room.

She didn’t want to go, not even a little. She recalled the words Ning Chenguang had told her, and a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

Jiang Wanwan went to find Ning Chenguang. Although she couldn’t think of how Ning Chenguang could help her solve this problem, she felt that hearing him speak would make her feel much safer.

The He Family was cooking, and in the yard, Ning Chenguang and He Yue were squatting playing marbles.

The two of them were arguing tirelessly over a marble, then laughed together, as if nothing had happened.

The golden sunset cast soft light on them, making the two figures leaning against each other look warm.

Jiang Wanwan looked at this scene, feeling very envious.

She wanted to play happily in the sunshine, but all of this had been ruined completely by the shop owner.

"Chenguang..." Jiang Wanwan twisted her clothes nervously, called out uneasily.

Upon hearing the voice, Ning Chenguang turned his head toward the doorway and saw Jiang Wanwan standing there, looking pitifully like a frightened young deer with teary eyes staring at him.

He knew Jiang Wanwan must have come to him with something.

So he casually tossed the marble he was holding and stood up, walking toward the door.

"Brother!" He Yue called out to him as he was about to step out.

"You stay here and play; I’ll be back soon," Ning Chenguang said to He Yue without turning his head.

"I want to go with you too!" She didn’t want Jiang Wanwan to be alone with her brother.

She felt Jiang Wanwan was driving a wedge between her and her brother, making their relationship increasingly distant.

Before, when she had issues, her brother would always be the first to help.

Now, as soon as Jiang Wanwan called, no matter what her brother was doing, he would immediately drop everything to be by her side.

"You shouldn’t go, just wait for me at home." Ning Chenguang thought Jiang Wanwan wanted him to buy something for her, so he casually said to Yueyue.

"No! I insist on going!" He Yue stubbornly pulled on Ning Chenguang’s sleeve and followed him out the door.

Ning Chenguang didn’t want to upset Yueyue, so he let her come along this time.

Upon seeing Jiang Wanwan, Ning Chenguang explained to her: "Yueyue is my sister, you can trust her."
