Recalling the experience just now, I suddenly shivered. If I continued to stay in the Lu family's old residence, my life would definitely be difficult to protect. I couldn't care less about the Lu family's instructions for me to spend the night in the old residence. I ran out of the Lu family's old residence with trembling legs.
The door behind me slammed shut with a loud bang, as if it had hit my heart.
My entire body trembled and I hurriedly quickened my pace. Now, there was only one thought in my mind. I had to quickly leave this damn place.
I ran to the street and hurriedly took a taxi home.
It wasn't until I closed the door that my hanging heart finally settled down. I took off the wet red wedding dress on my body, changed into my own clothes, crawled into the blanket, and soon fell asleep in a daze.
I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly slapped and woke up. When I opened my eyes, the sky outside was already bright. Aunt was standing in front of the bed angrily. She looked at me as if she wanted to swallow me alive.
I covered my burning cheeks and sat up."Aunt Li, why did you hit me?"
"Why do you think I hit you? The Lu family just sent someone to the hospital to say that if you don't go back, they'll make me return the betrothal money I received previously. Why did you die and come back?”
Aunt placed one hand on her waist and poked my forehead with the other." You jinx. Not only did you jinx your parents, but you also came to harm my family. Do you have to jinx your uncle to death before it's over? Ah?"
The more she scolded, the more energetic she became. It was as if she had vented all the anger that she had held in her heart for more than ten years.
I didn't retort, but tears fell.
This was the first time I cried in front of my aunt. In the past, no matter how she beat and scolded me, I had never cried. But at this moment, I really couldn't help the grievance in my heart.
I was tricked into marrying a ghost and almost lost my life, but my aunt didn't even ask why I came home. I didn't expect her to say anything about me. She should at least ask for the reason before blaming me.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Auntie poked my forehead hard." It's useless to pretend to be mute. Get back to the Lu family immediately!”
As he spoke, he pulled me off the bed.
"Auntie, I'm not going to the Lu family. The Lu family married me to a ghost. I'll die if I go back!”I clung to the edge of the bed tightly, not letting my aunt drag me out of the door.
"What nonsense are you talking about! The Lu family is waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up and die!”My aunt cursed and pulled me out. I wasn't as strong as her, so I was quickly dragged out of the door by her.
" Auntie, I will earn money to treat Uncle's illness. Please don't send me to the Lu family. I don't want to die…" I hugged the handrail of the stairs and refused to go downstairs.
This was also the first time I 'disobeyed' my aunt, and it was with such determination.
Because I know that if I go to the Lu family again, I'll die.
I don't know if Auntie was tired or something, but she suddenly stopped and looked at me for a while panting. She said to me,"Xiao Yan, your uncle is the pillar of this family. Now that the pillar has collapsed, there are still younger brothers and sisters at home to support. I'm a woman, so I really have no choice.”
After saying this, the aunt actually sat on the ground and started crying.
To be honest, I felt really bad when I saw my usually rude and fierce aunt cry like this. She did not treat me well, but it was a fact that she raised me.
"I know the situation at home. Because of me, my uncle and aunt, who were already living on a tight budget, are living even harder. My cousins are still in school, my uncle is lying in the intensive care unit, and I don't have a job now. The family is supported by my aunt alone.
Not to mention paying for Uncle's medical expenses, even eating is about to become a problem. How can I return the money to the Lu family? I can't raise so much money in a short period of time.
The kindness of raising him is greater than the heavens. I can't not repay him. Moreover, uncle is one of the few people in this world who treats me well. I can't watch him die because he can't afford the medical fees.
Returning to the Lu family seems to be my only choice now.
I wiped my tears and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Auntie." Auntie, thank you and Uncle for raising Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is leaving."”
When I got up and walked downstairs, I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
Two bodyguards were standing in front of a commercial car. As soon as they saw me coming downstairs, they immediately opened the door and gestured for me to go in.
I took a deep breath and got into the car.
Half an hour later, I was brought to the Lambert villa.
The servants were all dismissed. Other than me, there were only three people in the living room. They were Master Lu, Lu Yuanshan, Madam Lu, and Liao Jingfang.
There was also a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Old Master Lu. He was dressed in a Tang suit and looked energetic. I'm not sure about his identity, but he was present when he sent me to the Lu family's old residence last night.
Old Master Lu and Madam Lu sat on the sofa and looked at me with gloomy faces. Please forgive me for calling them that. From the moment I found out that they tricked me into marrying a ghost, I could no longer treat them as my parents-in-law or family.
Of course, I also knew that they wouldn't treat me as family. At most, I was just a tool they bought, although I still didn't know what my specific role was.
"You saw him?" The middle-aged man was the first to ask me. His voice was very calm and carried a hint of awe.
He was probably referring to Lu Jinhuan.
I nodded." Yes."
The middle-aged man pondered for half a second and asked,"Did he say anything to you or do anything to you?”
Hearing this, the image of Lu Jinhuan forcefully kissing me suddenly appeared in my mind. I subconsciously bit my lips. Although his lips were cold, they were very soft...
* Cough cough *
Let's not talk about this matter. Let's pass on his words.
I cleared my throat and said,"He told me to tell Old Master Lu that he won't let the Lu family off."”
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu and Madam Lu's faces turned pale. It was obvious that they were very afraid of Lu Jinhuan. Seeing their panicked expressions, I felt an inexplicable sense of revenge in my heart.
You've suffered retribution for lying to me!
The middle-aged man's face was still dark. He looked straight at me with his shrewd eyes and said in a deep voice,"From today onwards, you will live in the old residence and think of a way to gain his trust as soon as possible.”
This time, my face turned pale. He had thought that it was just a simple gift, but he didn't expect it to be a mission.
Even though I was mentally prepared before I came, my heart still trembled when I heard that he wanted me to stay in the old residence and gain Lu Jinhuan's trust.
Not only was there a ghost in the old mansion, but there was also an even more mysterious and terrifying existence. Last night, I almost died because of it. It was all thanks to Lu Jinhuan who saved me. He also said that he would not save me a second time.
This time, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.#
