"Xuebaby!" Xue Qi squatted in shock. Seeing the blood on Xuebaby's front legs, he frowned. "Remember, even if you get hurt in the future, you can't let outsiders treat your wounds. Got it? What if someone has bad intentions?"
As Xue Qijing spoke, he untied the bandage on Xuebaby's leg, then picked it up and walked towards the main house.
In fact, he had heard what Mingxi said to Xuebaby just now. He had just stood quietly by and watched her bandage Xuebaby's wound, and he was actually lost in thought...
Thinking of this, Xue Qijing felt a little uncomfortable.
Xuebaby is the dog he and Lixue raised together. He is usually kept in the house. No one knows how he ran out today and got injured!
"I..." Mingxi wanted to say something, but when she saw Xue Qijing's receding back, she had to stop.
"Mingxi!" Xue Qiwei saw Mingxi standing on the lawn as soon as he came back. He frowned in confusion, but when he saw Xue Qijing's back almost disappearing, he deliberately shouted loudly, "Mingxi, I have booked a romantic candlelight dinner tonight. Will you come with me?"
“I…” Mingxi was startled by the sudden voice. She looked at Xue Qiwei in panic, “I… I… that… that… I…”
"Okay, don't talk about 'me' or 'that' anymore, let's go!" Xue Qiwei strode forward, stretched out his upper arm and directly held her in his arms, then turned around and took Mingxi with him towards the door.
Xue Qijing, who had already walked away, couldn't help but tighten his arms around Xue Baby when he heard Xue Qiwei's words in a deliberately raised voice.
Candlelight dinner
What is there to brag about
Oh!
It’s not like I haven’t eaten it before!
Xue Qijing hugged Xuebaby tightly and walked towards the main house angrily. He was not even aware of the miserable cry of Xuebaby in his arms...
A few days later, Mingxi had already started working. Of course, she was still working as a financial clerk in that small company. However, the only difference was that Xue Qiwei assigned a special driver to pick her up and drop her off every day and was responsible for her safety.
She actually didn't want to live in the Xue family, but Xue Qiwei and Old Lady Xue would never let her move out again, fearing that what happened that day would happen again.
She can only wait until she is strong enough to move out.
That day, she returned to Xue's house at 8 o'clock in the evening as usual. However, it was raining heavily that day, and Mingxi had just got off the car. Even with an umbrella, she was soaked by the rain within ten seconds.
Mingxi held an umbrella and strode towards Xue Qiwei's villa. Normally, it would take more than twenty minutes to jog from the gate to the villa, but now the distance seemed particularly far away in Mingxi's eyes.
She lowered her head and rushed towards the villa quickly, but just as she ran to the swimming pool, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the night sky, and Mingxi ran towards the villa in fear.
Just when she ran more than ten meters, the sky suddenly-
Click—click—boom—
A huge thunder sounded, shaking the earth and deafening the ears.
A big tree next to the swimming pool was struck in half by lightning with a loud bang in front of Mingxi.
"Ah!" Ming Xi screamed in fear, and then quickly rushed towards the villa. Oh my god, there was such a big thunder now. And it also destroyed the big tree. Was she going to be split in half by the thunder
Thinking of this, Mingxi felt a deep fear in her heart. She held the umbrella tightly and ran towards the villa.
However, just as she passed by the villa that the entire Xue family avoided, a thick lightning flashed across the sky again...
The lightning illuminated the objects at the edge of the dark swimming pool, and Mingxi was frightened by the lightning and screamed, then rushed directly into the villa...
Click-click-click
Boom—
Mingxi rushed into the villa and slammed the door shut. She leaned against the door and slid down to the ground, listening to the "crackling" sound of heavy rain and the occasional thunder. Mingxi's heart was attacked by waves of fear, her whole body trembling, and her face turned pale...
thunder,
Thunder again
When I was four years old, it was raining heavily and thundering the night my mother passed away. A few months ago, it was also raining heavily and thundering when my father passed away…
She was afraid of thunder and heavy rain because they were all omens of being abandoned.
Could it be that someone else is going to abandon her tonight
Thinking of this, Mingxi buried her head deeply between her knees and covered her ears tightly with her hands.
She didn't want to hear these voices, she didn't want to hear! She couldn't hear anything, she didn't hear anything...
Mingxi was shaking all over, and kept moving towards the door behind her. She buried her head between her legs and refused to lift it up. However, after a loud thunder, a loud "bang..." like something breaking suddenly rang out in the dark living room.
After hearing the loud noise, Mingxi immediately raised her head in fear and looked towards the hall...
With the help of lightning shining through the glass windows of the hall, she could vaguely see the current appearance of the entire hall.
All the furniture in the hall was covered with white cloth. Perhaps because no one had lived here for a long time, the ceiling was covered with cobwebs and the entire hall was covered with thick dust.
There is a spiral staircase in the center of the hall. Looking up the stairs, you can actually see a dim light seeping out from the second floor.
Looking at the dim light, Mingxi frowned. She carefully stretched her head out from between her legs and looked carefully at the light on the second floor.
Is there anyone living in this villa
Thinking of this, Mingxi's mind immediately flashed back to the last time she heard a woman crying by the swimming pool. If Xue Qijing hadn't stopped her, she would have come in to see what was going on.
Curiosity had already filled Mingxi's heart. She forgot her fear and her mind was filled with the woman's miserable cries.
She slowly got up from the ground and tiptoed toward the spiral staircase.
Mingxi felt a little timid as she stepped on the old and dusty stairs. She held her breath and walked cautiously towards the room on the second floor step by step...
When she came to the house, she found that all the rooms on the second floor were locked. The only unlocked room was the room with dim lights.
"Boom... Boom..."
As soon as she reached the second floor, Mingxi heard a "dong... dong..." sound coming from the room. It sounded like a wooden stick hitting the table. She breathed deeply and wanted to turn around and run, but she heard a woman's sobbing mixed in with the "dong... dong..." sounds.
With full of curiosity, Mingxi clenched her fists and slowly approached the room step by step.
She swore that this was the bravest time in her life. If she had seen such a terrifying scene before, she would have screamed and run away.
However, just as she approached the door, before she could push it open to see what was inside, the door was suddenly opened, and then a fruit knife that glowed coldly in the dim light suddenly stabbed at her...
"Ah!" Mingxi screamed, then quickly turned her body slightly to the side, and the sharp fruit knife quickly slashed across her cheek...
Mingxi leaned against the wall, watching a woman with disheveled hair and a white dress suddenly jump out of the room. Through the hair hanging down from her forehead, she could vaguely see a pair of eyes filled with fierce hatred. It must be said that she really looked like a ghost in a horror movie.
At this moment, she covered the fruit knife with both hands, pointed it directly at Mingxi, and then roared viciously: "Jianren, why did you hurt me in the first place? Why did you frame me and let Zhengnan (Xue Qijing's father) misunderstand me? Tell me! Today, I want revenge, I want to kill you!"
