In the villa hall…
Boys and girls who were about the same age as Shu Xue stood in groups of two or three, talking and laughing, just having fun.
Ming Shu went downstairs, but did not attract too many people’s attention.
She went to the sofa, where two boys and two girls were playing cards.
Ming Shu went to the side of the single sofa and sat down.
Someone looked over, thought it was a classmate, yet didn’t know Ming Shu.
“Who are you?”
Ming Shu took the snacks on the table and asked in a casual tone, “Are you all Shu Xue’s classmates?”
“Enh… Yes?” The boy who asked Ming Shu saw that there was something similar between her eyebrows and Shu Xue’s, so he gave a wild guess. “Are you one of the Shu family?”
They had never heard of Shu Xue having a sister or something.
Was she a distant relative?
Only their eyes seemed to be similar… So she should be a distant relative.
“Shu Ran!”
Shu Xue came with the butler and several servants.
Her face was flushed, and there seemed to be two small flames burning in her eyes.
She gasped in anger and her chest rose and fell fiercely several times. Thinking of the presence of so many people kept her from acting up.
“Butler, take her upstairs now.”
The butler was also puzzled. Didn’t he have them lock the door? Why was she down here again?
Holding his confusion back, the butler hurriedly ordered the servants to take Ming Shu.
Shu Xue explained to her classmates, “I’m sorry, she’s my cousin, and she has something wrong in here.”
Shu Xue gestured to her own head as she spoke. The four left the sofa in a panic.
She had mental issues.
But some of the classmates were a little doubtful. The girl looked normal and didn’t seem to have any mental disease.
But perhaps it was just a brief moment of clarity.
Ming Shu sat on the sofa, watching the servants approach carelessly.
To tell the truth, the servants were still a little intimidated.
In the kitchen, Ming Shu had easily handled three servants.
So they were very careful when they approached.
“Miss, stop messing around and come up with us,” the servants said as they approached.
Ming Shu ate her dessert slowly.
As the first servant approached, he suddenly threw himself forward and hit his head on the end table, and began bleeding right away.
“Ahh…”
Seeing such a scene, the classmates who had gathered around with curiosity as Shu Xue suddenly brought so many people over couldn’t help but exclaim.
The servant put her hand to her forehead, stunned.
Why did she fall?
Did she trip over something just now…
But there was nothing at her feet.
Another servant also fell without warning. She was lucky this time and didn’t bleed.
The two looked at each other in horror. Were they being… haunted?
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, Shu Xue’s cousin seems normal…”
“Hush, stop.”
Shu Xue heard the classmates’ discussions and felt a little heated on her face. She felt so humiliated.
Shu Xue immediately vented her anger on the servants. “What are you doing!”
“Miss…”
They didn’t know what was going on, either.
Why did they feel so creepy?
“Butler!” Shu Xue turned to the butler. “Look what kind of employees you’ve recruited. They can’t even handle such a tiny issue.”
How could they let this madwoman down when she was entertaining her classmates.
By the end of the day, she’d have to fire them!
The butler’s expression also turned gloomy as he thought of what happened in the kitchen. He ordered the remaining servant to call two male servants over.
“You are in my house and get paid by me, how dare you try to capture me so violently?”
The girl’s clear voice sounded slowly.
“Isn’t this Shu Xue’s house?” one of the classmates burst out instinctively.
“Nonsense!” Shu Xue acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Have you not taken your medicine today!”
“I’ve taken too much medicine today.”
Ming Shu answered honestly.
Shu Xue swept her eyes around, and the classmates’ suspicious gazes made her even angrier. “Stay in your room if you’re so sick, don’t come out and make me lose face. Butler!”
Just then the male servants the butler asked for arrived.
“Quick, take Miss Shu Ran upstairs, don’t let her scare the guests.” The butler pushed them forward immediately.
The male servants went up.
Before they could touch Ming Shu, a loud scolding rang out from the door.
“Stop!”
Everyone looked at the door.
Lawyer Jiang came in with his men and his face was serious. “What do you want to do to Miss Shu Ran?”
The butler never thought that Lawyer Jiang would come at this time.
“Lawyer Jiang… Why are you here?”
“If I don’t come, are you going to do something bad to Miss Shu Ran?” Lawyer Jiang said in a deep voice.
“No…” the butler explained in a hurry. “Miss Shu Ran is having a relapse, we are afraid that she might hurt our guests, so we’d like to take her to her room and get her some rest.”
Shu Xue was not familiar with Lawyer Jiang, but knew that he was on Shu Ran’s side.
“She ran down suddenly and frightened my classmates. I asked the butler to take her up, but she still tried to mess things up.” Shu Xue raised her chin. “What if she suddenly loses control and hurts my classmates?”
“Lawyer Jiang.”
Lawyer Jiang’s people separated the servants and Ming Shu, then Lawyer Jiang walked to her.
“Miss Shu Ran.”
Lawyer Jiang, who looked about the same age as the butler and was in his late 30s, exuded the air of elitism.
He sized up Ming Shu quietly.
Miss Shu Ran seemed quite normal at the moment…
“This villa is my house, isn’t it?”
Lawyer Jiang was not sure what happened, but since Ming Shu asked, he immediately replied, “Yes.”
“What’s this… It’s not Shu Xue’s home.”
“What on earth is happening?”
“Didn’t Shu Xue say she’s her cousin? How come it becomes her cousin’s house?”
Before coming, they were told by Shu Xue that she was going to take them to her home and play.
They all thought it was Shu Xue’s house.
And Shu Xue also admitted it in silence.
But this villa was not Shu Xue’s home?
Her classmates looked at her in a slightly strange way.
All kinds of complicated eyes kept wandering between her and Ming Shu, seemingly wanting to figure out the truth.
Shu Xue’s face flushed.
She had lived here for so many years.
And she had long made it her home.
After Shu Ran went crazy, she felt even more that it was her home. Everything in the Shu family would be hers.
But now they said it was not her home at all. How would she face her classmates in the future?
What the hell did this lunatic want to do!
She shot a gaze of mixed hatred and anger at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu wasn’t frightened at all, and smiled. “So, you’re going to restrict my personal freedom in my house? That’s illegal, you’ll be arrested for that, little cutie.”
Shu Xue glared her eyes and talked back subconsciously. “No, I didn’t. You’re locked up because you’re sick…”
“And now you are pretending that I’m sick, that’s another crime!” Ming Shu interrupted her.
Shu Xue looked at Ming Shu disbelievingly and yelled, “You are sick, the doctor has given you the diagnosis report!”
“Perhaps you bought off the doctor?”
Shu Xue got very excited. “Nonsense!”
“Why are you so excited if I’m just talking nonsense, do you feel guilty?”
The girl sat on the sofa at will, retaining a smile, her fingers resting gently on her knee.
She seemed to be enveloped with dignity and respect that could not be offended.
