Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

On their way back from the mall, Lin Mian and her cousin ran into their uncle, who was buying soy sauce, downstairs in their apartment complex.

So Lin Mian talked to her uncle about learning to drive. She had never thought about buying a car before, and she was too lazy to practice driving. But after her adventure in the forest, Lin Mian felt that it was really necessary to be able to drive.

Lin Mian's uncle had already asked her to practice driving with him, and she naturally agreed, since he was free for the next two days.

As they were talking, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Mian had just stepped out when a hand grabbed her arm tightly.

"Where's my son!" It was Zhang Zhiwen's father. He grabbed Lin Mian, his face fierce as he questioned, "He went out with you, why isn't he here now that you're back?"

Seeing this, his uncle quickly came over and pulled him away.

Zhang's father shoved his uncle aside, grabbed Lin Mian's arm, and almost pushed her down in the elevator. His cousin rushed over to help and managed to shield Lin Mian behind him.

Zhang's father tried to rush over to grab the person, but was blocked by his uncle and cousin. He could only point angrily at Lin Mian and ask, "I'm asking you, where is my son? Where is he?"

Lin Mian explained, "I got separated from him, and I don't know where he is."

"Don't try to fool me!" Mr. Zhang tried to fight again, this time pulling at his uncle and cousin, their hurried footsteps echoing down the corridor. "You definitely know where my son is! You all went out together, how could you not know!"

"Did you sell my son?"

Lin Mian said, "I didn't. If you don't believe me, then call the police..."

"What's the point of calling the police? My son disappeared overseas! You tricked him into going there!" Mr. Zhang became agitated, waving his fists. "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not leaving! I'll let all your neighbors know that you're human traffickers who kidnapped my son!"

He couldn't beat two people by himself, so he started shouting in the corridor.

The commotion attracted the attention of the neighbors, and several people opened their doors to see what was happening. Auntie was also alerted and quickly came out to explain, "It has nothing to do with Mianmian. I'm the one who sent them on this trip abroad. I've explained this to you so many times, I..."

Mr. Zhang was already furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on Lin Mian because he was being stopped. Now that his aunt was offering herself up, he immediately grabbed her by the collar.

"Then you're in charge! Didn't you say you'd call the police? Come on, let's go to the police station right now!" He dragged his aunt toward the front stairwell.

My aunt is not in good health and stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Let her go!" Lin Mian grabbed Zhang's father's arm, trying to get her aunt out, but unexpectedly, Zhang's father punched Lin Mian directly.

Lin Mian and her aunt both fell to the ground.

"Fuck you!" The younger cousin couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Zhang's father to the ground.

The scene became even more chaotic. Just as Zhang's father was about to get up and fight four people, Zhang's mother arrived. She hugged Zhang's father while crying, trying to stop him from continuing: "Speak properly, don't hit people, hitting people is wrong."

Mr. Zhang's anger immediately shifted to Mrs. Zhang, and he raised his hand to slap her.

His uncle and neighbors rushed forward and stopped him.

Lin Mian stood up and stepped out from behind her cousin. She calmly said, "I'm going to call the police."

Zhang's mother hurriedly said, "Don't call the police, Xiaomian, please, please don't call the police."

She burst into tears, her once jet-black hair turned gray, and she looked several years older, haggard and worn out: "We're just so worried about our son. He's missing, and we're really anxious."

Lin Mian looked away and didn't say anything more.

Wiping away her tears, Zhang's mother begged and cried as she took Zhang's father away.

Before leaving, Zhang's father threatened Lin Mian, "This isn't over yet, you just wait!"

"Stop talking," Zhang's mother said. "If you keep making a scene like this, you might really get arrested by the police... What will I do if you're not by my side anymore...?"

Zhang's father shoved her away, shouting angrily, "Go to hell!"

……

"Are you hurt?" Auntie asked, pulling Lin Mian aside. "Did he hit you?"

Lin Mian was hit on the shoulder, but she shook her head and said, "No."

A neighbor couldn't help but ask curiously, "You went abroad with that guy surnamed Zhang, why are you back but he hasn't?"

The uncle said from the side, "They got separated on the way. Our Mianmian was lucky. She ran into an acquaintance abroad who found her a boat so she could come back."

They returned to the house, where chicken soup was simmering in the kitchen, its aroma filling the air, but the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Lin Mian said, "I'd better go back to my rented room first. If I stay here, they'll definitely come and cause trouble again."

My cousin said, "They've caused trouble before you were here. Aunt Zhang is alright; she's reasonable. But Uncle Zhang always throws a tantrum; it's so annoying."

The uncle seemed unconcerned: "Let them make a fuss a few times, that's all. What can we do when something like this happens? We didn't want to find out someone was missing abroad, but it's already like this, what can we do?"

Lin Mian then realized that she had caused trouble for her uncle's family while she was away.

After lunch, Lin Mian packed her things and left her uncle's house.

Her uncle drove her to her rented apartment building. After parking, he called to Lin Mian, "Don't take Zhang Zhiwen's matter, or what his family said, to heart. Nobody wanted this to happen. His not coming back just means he's more unlucky than you. If you hadn't met Xiao Ye, you wouldn't have come back either, would you?"

Lin Mian nodded and said, "I know."

She had a clear conscience about what Zhang Zhiwen had done, but... thinking of Zhang's mother's appearance, Lin Mian couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Go back and rest. I'm free tomorrow. I'll bring you lunch." Uncle said casually. "Your aunt bought a lot of groceries, just wanting to give you a good boost."

Lin Mian laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait to eat."

My uncle then reminded me from behind, "Lock the door at night, be careful when you live alone."

"understood."

Lin Mian dragged her suitcase, slowly walked out of the elevator, opened the door of her rented apartment, and went inside.

The house, which had been uninhabited for a long time, had a stuffy smell. Lin Mian opened the window to let in some fresh air. She walked to the middle of the living room, looked around the house, and then started tidying up.

She rented a one-bedroom apartment, and now both rooms are covered in a layer of dust.

Lin Mian wiped down the furniture, mopped the floor, changed the four-piece bedding set, threw it into the washing machine to wash, and finally opened her suitcase and organized the clothes inside.

Before I knew it, I was busy until evening, and it was time for dinner.

She leaned back on the sofa, holding her phone, and opened the food delivery app as usual. After scrolling through a few pages, Lin Mian couldn't help but drift off and look around the room.

It was quiet and familiar.

She moved here shortly before graduation and has lived here for over two years. She's gotten quite used to it, but suddenly she feels a little empty.

Lin Mian slowly lay down on the sofa, having lost her appetite.

She held up her phone, scrolled through the pages randomly for a while, and finally opened the chat box with He Duoye.

After staring at the chat history for a while, Lin Mian locked her phone.

Forget it, I won't say I miss him today, lest he get arrogant.
