Xia Zhitong walked into this villa that had been empty for several months. The lush leaves had turned yellow and withered because no one had taken care of them.
She saw that the apple tree planted next to the villa was already withered and withered. She planted it with her father when she was a child. Despite the climate problems in S city, it only produced small and sour fruits.
But in Xia Zhitong's mind, the scene of her father carrying her on his shoulders to pick apples still appeared. That was a tree symbolizing family affection, but now...
Huo Chengxi frowned at her, as if he was dissatisfied with her slow pace, so he grabbed her hand and walked quickly inside.
Pushing open the door of the villa, thick dust fell.
Xia Zhitong saw two women sitting in the dimly lit hall. One was Lin Meijing. She hadn't seen him for a long time. The proud woman had lost her original sharpness. Her sunken phoenix eyes made her look at least ten years older.
Xia Yinxue on the side turned her head away when she saw Xia Zhitong, as if she didn't want to see Xia Zhitong, her eyes were full of disdain.
"Xiaotong, you are back. I heard that you married into the Huo family, so your current net worth is also different. Thinking of me as your mother and your sister, you redeemed this house for us to live in.
, I heard that they want to pay off the debts of our mother and daughter."
Xia Zhitong was disgusted by Lin Meijing's humble flattery, but also a little surprised.
She looked at Huo Chengxi beside her. The man with a cold and arrogant face was like an impenetrable sculpture. He had no expression and no words. Xia Zhitong didn't understand the purpose of Huo Chengxi bringing her here.
Seeing that Xia Zhitong didn't answer, Lin Meijing stepped forward and took Xia Zhitong's hand, then dragged her woman Xia Yinxue's hand, and overlapped Xia Zhitong's and Xia Yinxue's hands.
"We are originally a family. We share the same hardships and share the blessings..."
Xia Zhitong had never seen such a shameless woman, but Lin Meijing was already down and out. Looking at Xia Yinxue, she retracted her hand as if she was overly frightened, with a look of reluctance. Xia Zhitong still felt a little sorry for them.
Compassion.
Lin Meijing smiled awkwardly and squinted at Huo Chengxi, then seemed to see the commanding gaze in Huo Chengxi's dark eyes.
"You sisters haven't talked for a long time. Why don't you go inside and talk? Mr. Huo and I still have something to talk about."
Xia Zhitong was forced into a small living room by Lin Meijing. The door was closed, leaving only Xia Zhitong and Xia Yinxue, looking at each other...
Xia Zhitong took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yinxue's pale and haggard face.
"Xia Yinxue, how have you been lately?"
Xia Zhitong couldn't bear it. Even if she hated Xia Yinxue, she would not want her "relatives" to suffer such a thing, especially a girl, whose life would be ruined.
Xia Yinxue's tears were streaming down her face. The overbearing daughter no longer had the arrogance she had before. She sat quietly aside, with infinite resentment in her words, "Me? Huh...how can people like us...
There may be a good life like yours! Don’t think you can buy everything with money!”
Xia Zhitong was startled and walked up to Xia Yinxue, "Xia Yinxue, I know that you suffered a lot of injuries after that unfortunate incident happened, but...it was really not me who sent people to hurt you. We were
Sister, I never thought about buying anything..."
Xia Yinxue pushed Xia Zhitong away. Xia Zhitong became unsteady and almost fell to the ground. She held her slender hands on the cabinet behind her and cried bitterly as she watched Xia Yinxue.
"Xia Zhitong! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been raped. It's all your fault! It's all your fault! That night, you should have been the one who was dragged away and raped, but why did they find me? Why?
……Why……"
Xia Zhitong's brain was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.
That night, they were originally going to attack him, but they arrested Xia Yinxue by mistake?
"What's going on? Xia Yinxue, please tell me! Didn't Lin Meijing say that you were raped by Huo...by someone sent by the person who is now in the hall with your mother? Isn't it...
??" Xia Zhitong's eyes were full of anxious regret. She always thought it was Huo Chengxi who did it, but now it seems that the real culprit is not him.
"I don't know who it is!" Xia Yinxue screamed. She covered her head and kept crying. Those terrible memories made her squat beside the bed and tremble. "I just heard someone say...
She is 'kyle''s woman, she is the eldest daughter of the Xia family...and then...then they gang...raped me..."
Xia Yinxue burst into tears and her whole body was twitching. Xia Zhitong walked to Xia Yinxue and gently lifted Xia Yinxue's chin with her hands. Xia Yinxue was actually very beautiful. She was the most beautiful daughter of Xia's parents.
, I was spoiled by my family since I was a child, arrogant and rude, and wanted to be a big star. Those big beautiful eyes are now full of fear and hatred.
"I'm sorry...it was you who suffered this for me...I'm sorry..." Xia Zhitong murmured guiltily. She hugged Xia Yinxue and felt Xia Yinxue's trembling body, cold and cold.
"Xia Zhitong, you owe me your whole life. You have to remember... you owe me a lot... a lot..." Xia Yinxue accepted Xia Zhitong's hug. She blinked away the tears in her eyes and stared at Xia Zhitong's delicate shoulders.
The corners of his lips raised into a cold smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I will definitely help you find the real culprit and get justice for you." Xia Zhitong helped Xia Yinxue up and wiped away the tears from the corners of Xia Yinxue's eyes with both hands.
Xia Yinxue seemed to regain her composure quickly and asked softly, "Xia Zhitong, don't forget what you said. If one day, I ask you to give up the most precious thing in your life, you can't regret it?"
Xia Zhitong frowned, feeling that Xia Yinxue's words were a bit suspicious, but Xia Zhitong then thought about it. After all, she was the one who caused Xia Yinxue's problems, so she should agree to whatever Xia Yinxue asked her to do in the future.
"Yeah." Xia Zhitong nodded.
Sudden--
The door was pushed open, Lin Meijing walked into the room with a smile, and said to Xia Zhitong and Xia Yinxue, "Xiaotong, this Mr. Huo is really rich. Not only did he redeem the villa for our mother and daughter to live in, but also
, will also pay off all the debts for me, but... we, Xiaotong, need to make a small decision."
Xia Zhitong looked at Lin Meijing's charming smile, with a chill in her heart. She looked at Huo Chengxi, with a knife-like handsome face that was as cold as iron and ruthless as a knife. Xia Zhitong seemed to take advantage of him to let go of her neck and explain.
She wanted to tell him, but...there were so many people there...and those cold black eyes made her heart freeze.
"Xiaotong, why are you standing there? Did you know that Xiaojing will be here too, and Uncle Yan, our old butler, is also back."
Lin Meijing had not lived in a luxurious villa for a long time. Thinking that she could become the hostess of this villa again, she was so excited that she couldn't describe it and was beaming with joy. But on the other hand, Xia Yinxue had a gloomy look on her expressionless face.
, was stared closely at by Huo Chengxi's sinister black eyes, as if he could see through the thoughts of everyone in the room.
Xia Zhitong hesitated for a while, but she still couldn't calm down when she thought about seeing Xiaojing.
Pushing open the door, Xia Zhitong was hooked by Huo Chengxi's arm and pulled to the living room.
A string of wind chimes broke the silent and gorgeous hall. At some point, lights were lit in this familiar hall. The girl with the wind chimes and silly eyes was dancing with the wind chimes in her hand.
"Xiaojing..."
Xia Zhitong looked at the thin girl and suddenly choked up.
