Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 35: Human Trafficker

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Lingyu accidentally acquired a magical space, even though so far, the only purpose of the space was farming.

Incidentally, Xiao Lingyu already planned to return to her hometown to rest. She knew she was pregnant, so she wanted to leave the city and prepare herself for Xiao Tong’s arrival.

The appearance of the magical space meant that she would return earlier than planned.

Xiao Lingyu picked up a few clean clothes and contacted the landlord. She returned the rental. She left Chen Ran’s stuff in the room. She couldn’t care less about him.

The man was stabbed by Zhao Wenman, so he would have to stay in the hospital for some time. But who cares?

Xiao Lingyu carried her luggage and departed for the train station. She bought a train ticket for that afternoon.

…

Secretary Wang stood in front of Yan Siming with trepidation and said, “Young master, the landlord said that Miss Xiao had moved out of her rental yesterday afternoon. The landlord doesn’t know her latest whereabouts.”

Secretary Wang really wanted to cry.

Yesterday, Young Master Yan ordered him to reserve 99 roses and send them to Xiao Lingyu’s apartment in the Old City District.

But the flower shop’s manager just called and said he couldn’t reach the recipient. Based on the statement from the landlord, the recipient had already moved out.

Secretary Wang’s first reaction was, ‘How is this possible? No woman in City Z can reject Young Master Yan’s charm.

‘Yesterday, Young Master Yan personally sent the woman to Saint Hospital. But moments later, the hospital called to say that the woman had escaped in secret and left behind some cash as medical fees. Medical fees! Does she think Young Master couldn’t afford her medical fees? This is a blatant rejection of Young Master!

‘And now, Young Master Yan ordered flowers for her. But the woman couldn’t be found and had disappeared without a trace.

‘I refuse to believe that the woman is not doing this on purpose. This is another plot of hers to play hard to get to hook Young Master in!’

If Xiao Lingyu knew Secretary Wang’s thoughts, she would probably roll her eyes.

She really didn’t mean to reject Young Master Yan. This was a complete coincidence. Xiao Lingyu had no idea Young Master Yan would send her roses, or else she would have stayed. After all, 99 roses could be sold for quite a sum of money.

Regardless, neither of the men cared about what Xiao Lingyu thought because even Yan Siming thought this was another one of Xiao LIngyu’s tactics. So when he heard Secretary Wang’s report, he was not angry. He laughed. “My little firecracker is amusing. Does she want to play hide-and-seek with me? Fine, I’ll play!”

Young Master Yan still couldn’t admit that his charm had failed for the first time in his life.

He ordered, “Secretary Wang, go and find out where Xiao Lingyu is now. Once you find her, report back immediately!”

“Yes!” Secretary Wang replied respectfully.

After walking out of the Chairman’s office, Secretary Wang muttered in confusion, “Is it possible that Young Master Yan has really fallen for Xiao Lingyu? Normally, he would have given up by now!”

Young Master Yan was very principled when it came to his relationships. He would never force anyone to be his companion. This was his first time chasing after a woman. This was also the first time a woman had rejected Young Master Yan.

Secretary Wang was curious to meet Miss Xiao in person.

Young Master Yan naturally couldn’t tell his subordinate’s thoughts. He also didn’t notice he seemed to care deeply about Xiao Lingyu.

…

Xiao Lingyu calmed down after she boarded the train back to her hometown.

It had been a long time since she had returned to her hometown.

In her past life, Xiao Lingyu had a mental breakdown after she gave birth to Xiao Tong. Whenever she saw the boy, she would be reminded of the man who took advantage of her. So she couldn’t face Xiao Tong. It was why she escaped after Xiao Tong was born. She disappeared for five years.

The next time she returned to her hometown was because she received the news of Xiao Tong’s death. When she saw the lifeless bundle, her mother’s instinct was finally awakened. Xiao Tong was a part of her, so it was like a part of her had died.

At Xiao Tong’s burial, Xiao Lingyu cried until she fainted. However, when she woke up, she had been transported to the beginning.

Xiao Lingyu had taken revenge on the adulterous couple. She didn’t have any friends or family in City Z, so she could uproot easily.

“Girl, where are you going?” A friendly middle-aged woman asked, breaking Xiao Lingyu out of her reverie.

Xiao Lingyu turned her eyes behind her glasses to the woman.

The middle-aged woman was of average height. She was neither fat nor thin. Her clothes were simple, and she had a smile on her face. She looked very amiable, making people feel good about her.

However, something was not right.

From the corner of her eyes, Xiao Lingyu noticed the man sitting opposite them firing signals at the middle-aged woman. Other than that, there was a sleeping boy about three in the woman’s arms.

It had been two hours since they got on the train. The boy was fair and chubby. He looked very cute, but strangely enough, he hadn’t even once stirred.

This was a noisy train, and people milled about. No matter how sleepy the boy was, he should wake up once or twice. Children of his age were the liveliest.

Xiao Lingyu pieced the clues together and came to the conclusion that perhaps she was dealing with human traffickers.

They had stolen the child, and now they were targeting her.

Xiao Lingyu said without batting an eyelid, “I’m going home!”

The middle-aged woman continued to ask with a smile, “Are you going home alone? Tell Auntie where you’re going. Maybe we’re going the same way!” Her tone was friendly.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “No. I’m on the train with my family.”

The woman’s pupils darted about, but then she asked casually, “Then why aren’t you in the same train carriage as your family?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “We couldn’t get the seats.” With that, Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, “Sorry, I have to go find my family.” She stood up and left.

The woman believed Xiao Lingyu wasn’t lying to her, so she immediately lost interest. The woman looked at the sleeping child in her arms and did not say anything else.

After some time, Xiao Lingyu returned.

As she sat down, Xiao Lingyu sighed, “Sigh, that clumsy father of mine actually got off the train one stop ahead of time. He must have mistaken Xinglin Station as Xingyin Station. I can’t believe he even forgot about his daughter!”

The woman’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she immediately said, “Miss, so you’re returning to Xingyin. What a coincidence! I’m also stopping at Xingyin too. It’s the next stop. We should travel together so we can look after each other!”

Xiao Lingyu’s eyes flashed, and she nodded in response, “Okay!”
