In the private villa, Murong Aotian sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigar.
It was actually Nangong Bingjie, why didn't he think of her as the mastermind? Just by looking at her oppression and bullying of Hu Xiaodie, she knew that Hu Xiaodie was not someone to be trifled with. How could a narrow-minded woman, who couldn't even tolerate half-sisters, tolerate her fiance hiding another woman in his heart? However, Jin Yichen was a emotional person. After separating from Su Wanbai for so long, there was still an important position in his heart for her.
"Thump — thump —" Hu Xiaodie slowly walked down the stairs, looking straight ahead as she headed for the door.
"Come with me to your family today!" Murong Aotian squinted his eyes, a trace of violence flowing through the depths of his eyes.
Su Wanbai had just called her and told her who the culprit was behind him. At the same time, she repeatedly reminded her not to kill her. But the person she hated the most had to be pitiful. The person she loved deeply didn't love him and no woman could bear it. It was just that she had been spoiled since she was young and her methods were quite extreme. Murong Aotian clenched her fists tightly. It seemed that the assassination attempt that Su Wanbai made before she left for Canada was an extremely obvious one. If Su Wanbai was not so lucky, she would have died countless of times! This damned woman, see how I'll deal with you!
"Huh?" Hu Xiaodie's body stiffened as she looked at Murong Aotian blankly.
"I'm just going to take a look at the Old Master Nangong. Don't think too much about it!" Murong Aotian said coldly.
"Oh." The hope that had just flashed in Hu Xiaodie's eyes instantly extinguished.
Was she still hopeful? Do you want Murong Aotian to suddenly change his mind and go to the Nangong Family to discuss the matter of marriage? She was simply too naive. Who was Murong Aotian, a tyrannical, bloodthirsty, powerful man who viewed human life as grass and vegetable! She admitted that she was not an outstanding woman with any charisma, and did not have any capital that was worthy for Murong Aotian to sink into. Thinking about the cold and indifferent woman at the engagement banquet, she couldn't help but feel envious, she was truly blessed, Murong Aotian's gaze stayed on her face every single moment. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to receive that kind of attention and sympathy in this lifetime.
"Give your sister a call as well. I have something to talk to her about in the future." Murong Aotian indifferently said as he put out the cigar that was almost burnt out in the ashtray.
Although Hu Xiaodie was filled with suspicions, she did not dare to ask.
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaodie appeared in the Nangong Mansion while holding Murong Aotian's arm.
"Don't droop your face, I didn't mistreat you!" Murong Aotian said.
Hu Xiaodie tried her best to raise the corner of her mouth, but her smile was stiff and rigid. It was said that eyes were the window to the soul. No matter how much she pretended to be happy, it was impossible to fake it. I just silently prayed that my father and aunties would not be able to tell.
Old Master Nangong received a call from her daughter Hu Xiaodie, and purposely cancelled the temporary board of directors to wait for them at home. Mrs. Nangong and Nangong Bingjie were surprised by Murong Aotian's sudden visit, but they still had to behave in a proper manner. They had already ordered the servants to wait at the door, the tea and dessert had been prepared beforehand.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the host took his place.
"Uncle Nangong, I came to visit today. Firstly, I came to see the two elders, and secondly …" Murong Aotian swept his cold and stern gaze across Nangong Bingjie's face.
"Feel free to speak!" The Old Master Nangong said.
"Eldest Miss has repeatedly hunted down my friends. For some reason, does Old Master Nangong know about this matter?" Murong Aotian squinted his eyes, even the meaning behind his eyes had become unclear.
"Ah?" Are you joking? Although Bing Jie is a bit arrogant, it's not like he … " Old Master Nangong was surprised, his gaze swept across Nangong Bingjie's pale face.
"It won't, it won't, you must be mistaken. We, Bing Jie normally don't even dare to step on an ant to kill it, how could we do such a thing?" Mrs. Nangong immediately panicked. She had always believed in Buddha and feared death the most, her daughter had always been a well-behaved and sensible girl, how could that be possible?
"I'll send someone to deliver the evidence later." Murong Aotian did not plan to sit down anymore. He stood up and prepared to leave.
Hu Xiaodie did not say a word the entire time, she only smiled and listened to them speak. Murong Aotian was almost at the door when she suddenly realised what he had to do. She ran out after him without even turning his head around. His father looked at her kindly, but she did not look up. To her, Nangong Family was merely his family. There was no warmth here, no love, only cold ridicule and teasing. She did not want to stay any longer.
"Is what Murong Aotian said true?" Old Master Nangong's face turned cold, he stared angrily at his daughter, Nangong Bingjie.
"His so-called friends are not really her ex-girlfriends, or ex-girlfriends at all. I was only trying to avenge my sister, to avenge her! " Nangong Bingjie dodged her father's gaze and replied anxiously.
"You're still lying to me?" Old Master Nangong was so angry that his face turned white, he raised his walking stick to smash his daughter. If not for Mrs. Nangong stopping him, Nangong Bingjie would have been injured.
"Do you and your mother think I'm too old to see that you treat her like a thorn in your side? He was still lying! Our Nangong Family is also considered a family of books, how could we have such an unworthy descendant like you. At such a young age, he didn't learn or do anything, but he was actually a good assassin! "No matter who it is, you can't kill them. Killing is a crime, do you understand?" Old Master Nangong stood up in excitement, then sat back down on the sofa.
"I wanted to kill Su Wanbai, but Wu Chen refused to marry me even now. She was the one who intervened, I hate her!" A cold glint flashed across Nangong Bingjie's eyes.
"Even now, you are still unrepentant! Get out of the Nangong Family immediately, I don't have a daughter like you! " Old Master Nangong glared with his scarlet eyes and roared hysterically.
Nangong Bingjie was not surprised by her father's attitude. She slowly went up the stairs and quickly carried a small luggage down. When the Mrs. Nangong saw that her daughter was serious, she was so scared that her face turned ashen.
Your father was just angry. Why did you leave?" Just apologize to your dad. Just admit your fault. "" No, no … Madam Minamiya's eyes instantly became wet with tears.
"I didn't do anything wrong!" Hu Xiaodie pried open her mother's hand who was holding onto the suitcase handle and left without looking back.
Just as Mrs. Nangong was about to give chase, she heard a "hong" sound. The old master's face suddenly paled and she fell onto the ground. She quickly turned her head and took the pill out of the master's coat pocket and put it in his mouth. Then she ordered a servant to bring him some water and give him a few mouthfuls.
A few minutes later, Old Master Nangong slowly opened his eyes.
"How could I give birth to such a daughter! She is just a girl, yet she dares to chase after someone else. Evil son, evil son! " Old Master Nangong pounded his chest and stomped his feet as he shouted hoarsely.
Hearing that Nangong Bingjie was chased out of her house by the Old Master Nangong, Hu Xiaodie was elated for a while. After escaping the protection of her Nangong Family, she, Nangong Bingjie, what was considered as a fart! Although she hadn't spent much time with her father, she still had some understanding of his temperament. Killing people was no small matter, but his father had his own principles on such matters. He didn't need to guess to know that Nangong Bingjie's credit card would be cut off very soon, and her personal account would be frozen. A small punishment ring was already giving her a lot of face. When she thought of how Nangong Bingjie looked when she was wandering around on the streets, she was so excited that she wanted to jump. What sister-in-law, if she didn't treat him as her sister, then what right did she have to treat her as her sister!
In Murong Aotian's opinion, this kind of punishment was a little too light. He never thought that the arrogant and prideful Murong Aotian would be reduced to such a state one day. Thinking of that word, a wry smile appeared on his face. After starting with Su Wanbai again, even he himself felt that he had changed a lot. This kind of change wasn't something that could be forced passively, but rather, it was something that he was willing to do.
Too much love will not only hurt you, but also hurt others.
These words were what Su Wanbai had told him before. When he heard it, she also tried to suppress her strong possessiveness and to let her go. The free her was capable of blossoming with a brightness and freedom she had never seen before, and this was exactly what he wanted to see. Maybe this was the bridge that connected the two worlds. They could walk into each other's worlds and be normal lovers. However, it was only limited to lovers. He had promised Jin Family that she would not give birth until she married, and a man couldn't give a woman a promise of marriage. Thinking up to here, he couldn't help but feel sorrowful. Now, Su Wanbai might not think much of it. If they were to be together, she would bring up the topic of marriage sooner or later. At that time, what would he do?
Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Murong Aotian's eyes surged with undisputable sorrow.
At this time, in a rundown inn on the outskirts of the city, Nangong Bingjie was sitting in her small room in a daze.
This time, his father was really ruthless. He couldn't use his credit card, and he couldn't withdraw the money from his account. The remaining 30 or so bills in his wallet were all gone in a few short days. What was he trying to do? Was he going to kill them all? Although her mother doted on her, with her father's pressure, she didn't dare openly help her out. After all, killing people wasn't a small matter. Furthermore, his daughter had no intention of lowering her head and admitting her wrongs. Her mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night, but she could only worry.
The room had a dark face, and a rotten, moldy smell filled the entire space. Nangong Bingjie opened up the blanket on the bed while pinching her nose.
The blanket that had been washed until it was white was covered by a few long hair of a woman. The pillow towel that was originally toned looked dark and shiny.
She took out her cell phone from her bag. Just as she was about to call her good friend Ye-zi, the light above her head suddenly went out.
A few beeps of "beep beep" came from the phone. Since there was no power, the phone automatically shut down.
She went downstairs to the front desk in the dark to ask when the call would come. The waitress was very rude and rolled her eyes. "Just wait!"
Helplessly, Nangong Bingjie turned and went back upstairs. When she just reached her own room, she realised that the lock of the door had been unlocked. After hurrying in, the handbag was gone from the bed.
It really was like rain, when had she, Nangong Bingjie, ever been in such a sorry state! Thinking of this, she suddenly squatted down on the ground and started to cry.
This was the first time she felt so lost and helpless!
