Chapter 508: Never Give In

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Shen’s arrival greatly eased the atmosphere in the Jiang family, and Jiang An could also prepare for the meeting in peace. Zou Bai’s tense nerves relaxed.

The kidnapping seemed to have been resolved perfectly, but they knew they hadn’t let it go at all.

As parents, they didn’t protect their children well and didn’t rescue them immediately. If the children hadn’t made a prompt decision and caused such a huge commotion, they would have had to investigate for a long time.

Zou Bai had never felt so powerless before. He finally knew what it felt like to be worried.

Jiang An, on the other hand, forced herself not to indulge in this matter. She used a stoic method to forget, which was to avoid this matter.

However, there were only so many people at home, and Li Mei was busy with the company. Recently, her business had been a little busy and she did not have time to accompany her daughter.

Mo Shen’s arrival made them heave a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone who had nothing to do with this matter.

Mo Shen knew how to comfort people. Even if it was just a short conversation, it could make people feel better.

Li Mei thought she may as well invite Mo Shen to stay at home and asked the servants to clean up the Welcome Pine Tower where the guests lived. It just so happened that Zou Bai could accompany him.

At night, a few of them gathered in the living room to watch “Legend of Gan Lan”. This was the highlight of Gan Lan, a small climax of the television drama. If the response was good, it would definitely attract more people to watch it.

Jiang An had never seen the final edited version either. This was also very novel to her.

Weibo also fell into silence. Just like yesterday, everyone was waiting to watch the television drama and no one discussed it.

When Gan Lan’s thin figure appeared on the screen, Li Mei’s heart immediately ached. Her daughter must have suffered.

The audience, on the other hand, focused their attention on the plot. They watched Gan Lan and the rich young master Xiao Lang meet, causing a lot of hilarity, greatly relieving the tense emotions brought about by the previous episodes.

Just as everyone thought that they were going to develop a relationship, Gan Lan was whipped for seducing Young Master.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Lang to rush over and save the damsel in distress. However, when Gan Lan walked home step by step, he did not appear. He did not know that this had happened.

Gan Lan lay in the hay and did not shed a tear, but her lifeless eyes made people sad.

“If I hadn’t come here, even if I was criticized indiscriminately, I could have chosen to fight back. If someone wanted to hit me, I could have hit them back. I definitely wouldn’t be pressed to the ground now, unable to fight back. I live in a society ruled by law. I shouldn’t have come here,” Gan Lan said.

This also woke the audience up. The female protagonist should not have waited for a man to save her. It was stupid to place her hopes on others. They were the ones who had fallen into a strange circle and thought that the princess should wait for the prince to save her.

Tonight, two episodes would be released, and the second episode would be Gan Lan’s Awakening.

Xiao Lang looked for Gan Lan and sincerely apologized to her. He promised to protect her in the future and that such a thing would definitely not happen. In exchange, Gan Lan said, “What happened has already happened. My scar is already there. It’s too late to say anything.”

It was this attitude that made Xiao Lang feel guilty. He came to look for Gan Lan every day, and Fang Rui saw this situation.

He couldn’t accept that Gan Lan had become like this. He felt that she might become the concubine of a rich family’s young master and completely forgot his persistence.

Therefore, he told Gan Lan about his identity and told her not to interact with rich young masters. After all, they were just poor people.

“This is the way of the world. What can you do?” Fang Rui said.

Then, Gan Lan rushed into the heavy rain and washed away the makeup covering her face. Her hair was disheveled as she ran.

No matter how one looked at it, this scene was cathartic and messy. It had nothing to do with beauty, but it was really shocking.

The editing and soundtrack of the television drama magnified the shock and let everyone see Gan Lan’s unyielding soul.

After the two episodes ended, a large number of comments flooded Weibo. More and more people discussed “Legend of Gan Lan”, and the server almost collapsed.

[That sentence is really good. Gan Lan will never give in.]

[Heaven, earth, and the eternal bright moon bear witness. No matter where I am, I will still be me. I, Gan Lan, will never give in!]

[The feudal society is really too scary. It’s not as beautiful as in novels.]

[Our thinking is fundamentally different from feudal society. If we really transmigrate, we will definitely die a tragic death.]

[We can’t accept what they’re used to..]
