Her crying was truly earth-shattering, like the skies were collapsing and the earth was shaking, darkness enveloped the day, and the sun and moon lost their light. Li Mengjie was dumbfounded, quickly racking her brain for a reason. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, let out a long "Oh", and with an expression of sudden understanding, walked over to Ling Xuejiu, embraced her, patted her jade back, and then giggled while comforting her, "Good Xue Jiu, don’t cry, don’t cry, be good. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about what I saw tonight. Yes, I promise, I swear, if I do then I will..."
Before she could finish, Ling Xuejiu suddenly pushed her away, her eyes as wide as bells, red with bloodshot veins, and instead of crying, she ground her teeth and said, "What are you saying happened tonight? You say... if you don’t make it clear, I won’t let this go, no, I’ll cut ties with you!"
"Ah... no way?" Li Mengjie stuck out her tongue, still giggling, "Nothing happened tonight, nothing at all happened. Isn’t that right? What’s wrong, did I say something incorrect? Xue Jiu, why are you still looking at me like that, it’s kind of scary."
While two women, cough, let’s just call them women, while two feisty women turned the atmosphere in the living room into a powder keg, Leng Xuan was feeling a fear he’d never felt before in his life.
This was not a matter of life and death, but it seemed much more terrifying.
So he wisely chose to sneak back to his own room, then gently closed the door, covered his lower half with both hands, flopped down on the bed, and thought ’She must be blind, to just sit down like that, she almost cost me my lineage... Not to mention, it was clearly her fault, but would you believe it, when the incident happened, she wore a look of grievance, like a tigress, is there no justice, no law anymore—damn!’
Although the sound insulation of the room’s door was good, for the next half hour Leng Xuan still occasionally heard loud arguing and crying from outside.
At some point, it suddenly went silent outside, eerily silent!
Only then did Leng Xuan snap out of his fear, realizing he did not know the background of the girl named Li Mengjie. He hadn’t even taken a look when she came in. If the two of them started fighting, and Li Mengjie hurt Miss Ling, the consequences would be unthinkable.
With this thought, Leng Xuan couldn’t help but shiver and break into a cold sweat, remembering that his duty was to protect Ling Xuejiu, Miss Ling. He abruptly sat up from the bed, got off, but recalling Miss Ling’s fiery expression, he felt a bit guilty. So he tiptoed to the door, barely cracked it open, and suddenly heard a scream from outside, followed by another stretch of silence.
Eerie, so eerie!
Leng Xuan felt his heart jump to his throat, thinking, could that scream mean Miss Ling was hurt?
With that thought, Leng Xuan hesitated no longer, flung open the door, and rushed out, then he was stunned...
In fact, Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu were best friends who had played together since childhood, and they lived in the same villa area. Although they weren’t blood sisters, their relationship was even closer than sisters’, which is why Li Mengjie kept one of the three keys to Xue Jiu’s villa. How could they truly come to blows after a little quarreling? Leng Xuan was really worried for nothing!
