At night.

Xia Yu's sleep was extremely unstable. Ever since she was reborn, she had been having nightmares every night, dreaming that everything around her was dark. Those people wearing pale white masks all held their knives with the intent to kill her.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Xia Yu cried out in alarm as she opened her eyes. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, the trembling fear in her eyes had not dispersed yet. I'm really back, and I won't die again. " Xia Yu muttered, only then would she be able to calm down.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. The sound of water splashing and the smoke from the hot water filled the entire bathroom with clouds and mist. She had one hand against the wall, and her body was covered with criss-crossing wounds. It was very ambiguous, especially with the bite marks on the back of her neck. It was very obvious.

She never thought that under the cold exterior of Gong Qin's body, he would actually be like a wild beast trying to take it from her. Now that she thought about it, her legs felt a little weak. That person … It was best to get away as soon as possible.

After finishing his shower, Xia Yu wrapped herself in her bathrobe and walked out through the long corridor. As she was preparing to return to her room, she suddenly heard a soft shattering sound. It sounded like someone was on the phone, trying to keep her voice down, but by chance, the high-pitched voice told her that she couldn't stand it any longer. When Xia Yu heard the voice, she felt that it was a little familiar. Furthermore, it was a voice that she had not seen for a long time.

Her stepmother in the previous life, Lin Shulan.

Her good mother thought of everything for her. She did not know how much of her reputation had been hiddenly harmed, and had spread the word that she was a person who hated evils like enemies, always looking down on her own sister, Xia Qianxue. She wanted to steal everything from her, and even said that this was her nature.

At that time, Lin Shulan spoke in a pitiful manner. After the news spread out, Xia Yu's reputation had completely ruined everything.

Furthermore, ever since she and Gong Qin had set up an engagement, Lin Shulan's jealousy and hatred had reached a certain point. She felt that all the good things should be done by her own daughter Xia Qianxue, and not by the adopted daughter who lived in the Xia family! She used a number of methods to secretly harm Xia Yu, and Xia Yu managed to avoid danger and married Gong Qin in the end. Who would have thought that after she married into the Gong Jia, the Xia Clan would also not let her off.

Thinking about it now, Xia Yu could only laugh bitterly. If she knew it was like this, she would not have returned to the Xia Family. Even if her mother had told her before she passed away, she should not have returned to this place.

"What?" I'm Lady Xia! I am Lin Shulan, don't you know me? A mere two hundred thousand, do you think I can't pay?! Pui! Don't underestimate me! "

Lin Shulan seemed to be impatiently saying something, "Don't, tell you, if you dare find the Xia family, I'll kill you. I'll think of a way to return the money to you in the next few days …" Although Lin Shulan had already released the news, she still looked nervous. Seeing her secretly making a phone call like this, she knew that she must have done a lot of good things. In a few more days, I'll definitely return the money. I'll keep the news under wraps! If anyone else knew about this, my, Lin Shulan's, reputation would have been completely ruined … "

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth rose slightly.

She knew that Lin Shulan liked to play mahjong, and the money she earned from playing mahjong was not little.

This time, she said that she owed him two hundred thousand, if Xia Hong knew about this, he would definitely break one of her hands. Xia Hong considered himself as a famous family, and did not want to get involved with the gambling.

Lin Shulan hung up the phone and frowned.

"Sigh... "Where can we get the money?" Lin Shulan sighed, two hundred thousand was not a small sum. Although the Xia family had a lot of money, it was not hers, but it was firmly under Xia Hong's control. She, too, was not able to take out the two hundred thousand immediately.

Lin Shulan was about to turn around and leave, but the moment she turned around, she suddenly bumped into Xia Yu who was at the corner.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You. "You …"

Lin Shulan pointed at Xia Yu, and even while trembling, she was unable to explain it. She did not know when Xia Yu had started to stand here, and what had she heard?

"You … Why are you here? Did you hear anything? " Lin Shulan did not react and just spoke out. After hearing her words, the matter became even more suspicious. Xia Yu had naturally heard everything. If he were to tell Xia Hong about this, he would definitely be able to teach him a lesson, but … Even if she were to tell Xia Hong, Xia Hong would not believe her. He would even scold her, blaming her, for splashing dirty water on his foster mother!

At that time, with another explanation from Lin Shulan, he would be able to suppress her completely.

"..."

Xia Yu blinked her eyes. After she thought everything through, she indifferently spoke, "I merely passed by here after taking a bath … Speaking of which, why is Aunt Lin here? " Xia Yu had never called her mother before, so she was not qualified either. Therefore, no one objected to calling her Aunt Lin.

"You didn't hear anything?" Seeing Xia Yu's calm expression, Lin Shulan directly asked. She looked straight at Xia Yu, if Xia Yu knew that she was talking about the phone call earlier, she would definitely not be as calm as she was now, she heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that Xia Yu did not hear about this matter. "It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep, I just came here to sit for a while …"

"In that case, Aunt Lin should rest early." Xia Yu said indifferently, she only nodded slightly, and then turned and left.

Lin Shulan had been scared witless just now, cold sweat trickled down her back and now that she was feeling cold, she felt that Xia Yu was a little strange. In the dark corner just now, Xia Yu's eyes were bright and clear, as if she had seen through everything.

"She …" Lin Shulan thought about it, but in the end, she could not find any mistakes, so she could only turn around and leave. Recalling the two hundred thousand he owed, he felt a headache coming on. Although the limit was extended by a few days, he had to get two hundred thousand dollars in the next few days to return. Otherwise … If Xia Hong knew about this, he would definitely not let her off.

In the room.

Xia Yu walked in and closed the door.

The night was cold, and he had been living a new life. It seemed like he could understand everything. However, at that time … Why was he so stupid as to believe in lies and not see through the faces of these people? Xia Yu's eyes were clear and calm.

"These are only the beginning … I've received more than just this. "
