Chapter 357: Life's Highway

The black sedan sped along the road at high speed. As they passed through the tunnel, the sound of the tires rolling over the ground became distant and blurry; the temperature dropped suddenly, the intense sunlight blocked by the gloomy cement dome, shadows in the shape of bars streaming across the windshield.

Li Qinglian sat in the driver's seat, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, occasionally lifting her head to observe the situation behind her through the rearview mirror.

Her younger brother was slumped in the passenger seat, a picture of exhaustion, his head lolling back and forth with the motion of the car, seemingly on the verge of sleep;

The two girls sat in the backseat, one leaning against the car window, propping up her chin and gazing intently at the scenery speeding by, while the other sat upright with hands on knees, wearing a smile.

Their behavior was consistent with their usual image, which was a considerable comfort to Li Qinglian.
