308 Stay strong

"I have told you so many times not to make him angry. He can go out of control! What if he kills you?" Cecilia scolded Lu Mengjie while she applied an ointment on the bruise around her neck.

"I was just stating the truth."

"Then you should have lied if you value your life! I don't want my brother to dirty his hands!" Cecilia was still careful so she continued to put on an act. Even if all the cameras in the room were blocked and covered, her brother could still be listening. She was trying her best to keep her alive. She was not always in that place, what if Cian tried to kill her while she was away?

"I'm sorry..." Lu Mengjie muttered as she held her head low.

Cecilia sighed. After applying the ointment, she placed the small container back in the drawer beside the bed before she took a notebook and a pen. She began writing something on the paper before she handed it to Lu Mengjie.

'Cian has been hiring more men. It will be harder to take you out of this place.'

Lu Mengjie furrowed her brows when she read the note. She took the pen and scribbled, asking, 'Have you heard an update from Bai Jingye?'

She knew that Cecilia had been contacting Bai Jingye lately. She was the eyes in the place and she would report their situation to him. Through Bai Jingye, Lu Mengjie was sure that he would reach out to her husband.

'No. Ever since Cian found out that I met Bai Jingye, he has been keeping a close eye on me." Cecilia wrote.

Lu Mengjie couldn't help but heave out a heavy sigh. "Cecilia, how's Zhizhu?" She asked.

Talking about Spider was alright especially when Cian brought Lu Mengjie once in the basement.

During that time, Spider was enclosed in a prison with shackles around his wrists and ankles. He may not be wounded but Lu Mengjie noticed how weak he became since Cian had been feeding him once every other day ever since he was captured.

The man who walked towards them had pale golden hair and brilliant dark eyes. The features of the young man were so beautifully sculptured that he almost looked so angelic. This man's overall appearance was so beautiful in its majesty, it was disarming.

Behind him, a charming black-haired man and a beautiful red-haired woman that kind of resembled each other, followed. Lu Mengjie's eyes widened in surprise when she recognized them. Cian and Cecilia.

What were they doing here? Last time, in her dream, she was not able to see them.

On the other hand, the young Mengmeng's gaze lit up the moment she saw the blond-haired man. In her eyes, he was like an angel that descended from heaven! At that moment, little Mengmeng instantly fell in love at first sight with the heavenly being that appeared before her.

"Is he your brother?" The middle-aged man, Bambang, asked in confusion.

The little girl ran towards the stunning young man and in an instant, she grabbed his hand as she declared, "he is not my brother! He is Mengmeng's husband!"

Laughter was heard from the black-haired man, Cian. "Looks like you got yourself a beautiful little bride here, Liwei."

Liwei?

Lu Mengjie turned her head back to the blond-haired man just so she could take a closer look at his face. Back then in her previous dream, she was not able to see his face because of the blur effect in her dream but this time, when one of his companions mentioned his name, she was finally able to see his features.

Yong Liwei? She was baffled upon seeing a younger version of him. He looked like he was in his early twenties. More or less. Although at this time, it looked like Han Yizhou was currently in control of the body.

"You're not her brother. Give her to me." Bambang insisted on taking the young Mengmeng with him.

"Is he your family?" Han Yizhou directed the question to the little girl who was holding his hand.

"Nope. He can't be my family. My family is filled with good-looking members. With his looks, he can't enter my family!" Mengmeng declared.
