Deep into the night, Zhang Ma prepared to return to her room to rest. Then she remembered that she had left something in the yard that morning and decided to fetch it. She had just stepped out of the house when she heard a woman's voice coming from the courtyard.
Who would still be outside at this late hour? It couldn't be a thief, could it? Thinking of this, she crept closer to the source of the sound, and as she got closer, the sound became clearer.
"Her injuries haven't healed yet. She's resting at home every day." Xia Xihan was hiding behind a tree, sneakily talking to someone on the phone. She didn't look like she was going to sleep at all.
"Wait, then what did we say?" The other side of the phone seemed to have said something to her, causing her to become anxious, "Didn't you guys say that as long as I help you guys observe Su Qing's movements, everything would be fine?"
After a moment of silence, she kicked the dirt under her feet. She was a bit unhappy, but she didn't seem to dare refute, "Then … "That's not it …"
Xia Xihan was a little agitated at the moment. Although she was willing to monitor Su Qing, but those people actually treated this matter as their own fault. Her expression was ferocious, but she helplessly said, "I know, I won't regret it."
Suddenly, she felt like she was being sold and still helping others count their money. Could it be that she really did something wrong and shouldn't have agreed from the beginning? However, as matters stood, it was already too late for her to back down. She simply could not afford to offend those people!
"Alright, that's all. I'll let you know if anything happens." Xia Xihan impatiently hung up the phone. She also wanted to quickly take care of this matter and get the money to return home.
But what she didn't know was that she wouldn't be able to stay out of it for the rest of her life.
Xia Xihan hung up the phone and turned back to return to the house.
The cold wind blew against her face, blowing her long hair so that she couldn't see the road clearly. She had only taken two steps when she bumped into the Zhang Ma.
"Zhang Ma? Why are you here... When did you get here? " Seeing Zhang Ma's scrutinizing gaze, Xia Xihan was panicking. Did Zhang Ma hear the contents of the phone call?
"What are you doing here, not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"Whatever I want to do, it's none of your business. "The air here is good. I can't sleep so I came out to take a breath of fresh air. What does it have to do with you?" In order to hide her guilt, Xia Xihan said, "On the other hand, you were lurking around in the middle of the night, do you want to steal something?"
Zhang Ma felt her words were laughable. She said disdainfully, "Miss Xia, please clarify this, this is Ling Family, not your home."
Xia Xihan knew she was in the wrong, she lightly cursed a few times, did not plan to fight anymore, and turned to leave. When she passed Zhang Ma, she intentionally hit her shoulder fiercely.
"She really thinks of herself as a little miss." Zhang Ma curled her lips and snorted coldly.
However, from what she had heard just now, it seemed as though she was reporting to someone. The matter definitely wasn't simple. Thinking about how she would always ask Su Qing about the various situations, Zhang Ma started to ponder.
The next day, while Xia Xihan was watching TV downstairs, Zhang Ma dragged Su Qing to her room.
Seeing Zhang Ma's rare serious expression, Su Qing could not help but become serious, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Madam, I think she has a problem." Zhang Ma indicated towards Xia Xihan with her mouth.
"What do you mean?"
If it was in the past, she would definitely trust Xia Xihan more. After all, they had been together since young. With so many things happening recently, although Su Qing did not want to doubt Xia Xihan, her actions were indeed hard to fathom.
Seeing that Su Qing did not deny her, Zhang Ma finally relaxed and told her everything she had heard.
Hearing the things that the Zhang Ma had told her, Su Qing frowned. She knew that there was no reason for the Zhang Ma to use such crappy words to deceive her. But if all this was true, then what was she after?
Su Qing sighed, she looked at Zhang Ma quietly with a calm look, and said: "Thank you for telling me all of this, I will find out, but please do not tell anyone else." No matter what, she still wanted to give Xia Xihan a chance, so that the friendship between them still existed.
However, Zhang Ma was still a little worried and reminded her, "Madam, I know that Miss Xia is a special existence for you. But you know, some people grow up and change. "
