The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Meng Pei Meets Song Xin Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Meng Pei Meets Song Xin Meng Pei’s family ran an escort agency. At that time, they were transporting goods to the capital, where they planned to rest for two days before returning.

He was staying not far away and, in a half-asleep state, he heard the noise and got up, following the crowd toward the commotion.

That’s when he encountered Song Xin.

In fact, Meng Pei had seen Song Xin before, when he was still a teenager, setting out with his uncles from home for the first time to escort goods. Then, youthful and spirited, he fought back when they were attacked by robbers. After the confrontation, despite his uncles’ advice, he chased after the culprits.

As a result, he got separated from his uncles and lost his way, finding himself penniless. It was with great difficulty that he reached the gates of the capital, but he couldn’t get in.

With no other choice, he had to find someone to help him enter the city to find his uncles and deliver a message.

But he was in disarray, with marks of blood from the confrontation, and ordinary people were too scared to approach him, let alone deliver a message for him. What if he was a villain? What if he was a rebel, and the message was a way to contact his conspirators?

Nobody was willing to help him, and Meng Pei, exhausted and hungry, almost fainted at the foot of the city wall.

At that moment, Song Xin was on her way home from work at the manor outside the city, urged by her parents, and she saw him looking as if he was about to die. She was a girl about his age and mustered the courage to offer him half a steamed bun.

Then, she helped him deliver the message.

The event left a deep impression on Meng Pei, and he had thought about finding her to repay her kindness, but Song Xin had left no address, not even her name. Even when delivering the message, it had been a rushed exchange of a few words before she left, and the uncle she had referred to at that time had passed away a year later.

Since then, only Meng Pei knew what she looked like.

Thus, when he saw Song Xin again, even though she appeared significantly emaciated and disheveled, Meng Pei recognized her at a glance.

Clearly, however, Song Xin did not remember Meng Pei.

After escaping from Liu Mansion, she recklessly chose less crowded paths, desperate to escape.

But she was too tired and pregnant, depleted of energy, and unstable on her feet. In this state, she bumped right into Meng Pei.

Seeing that Meng Pei was a significantly large and imposing man, she partially regained her senses in panic, tried to flee with all her strength, but Meng Pei caught her in one move.

As Song Xin struggled, Meng Pei hurriedly explained that he was not a bad person, calling her by her name.

Only then did Song Xin realize that he was the young man from before. Having reached a dead end, this man whom she had once helped turned into her last hope for survival.

She begged Meng Pei to take her away, to ensure she was not found by the people from Liu Mansion.

Although Meng Pei did not know what had happened to her, the thought of this person he had been concerned about for four years grasping his arm so helplessly made it impossible for him to refuse.

Song Xin fainted, and Meng Pei quickly carried her away from the vicinity of Liu Mansion.

He had been wanting to find Song Xin for years, so after his father passed away, he took over the escort agency and deliberately focused its operations in the capital.

Thus, Meng Pei was fairly familiar with the capital, even having a close friend there.

It wouldn’t be wise to bring her to where he had been staying, to avoid being seen by other escorts from his agency, so he took Song Xin to his friend’s place instead.

His friend lived alone, which made things simpler.

His friend inquired about Song Xin’s situation, but Meng Pei opted not to delve into details.
