An older receptionist next to me whispered softly, and my ears were like radar. Although I didn't turn my face away, I could basically hear clearly, "Why are you saying this? What shouldn't be heard?"
I can’t stand listening anymore. If the manager finds out, just wait for your salary to be deducted."
"Miss, your ID card. This is the room card. The elevator is on the left. I wish you a pleasant stay."
"Thanks."
I took my ID card and walked to the elevator without changing my expression. Listening to the low-pitched chatter from the front desk behind me, I walked to the elevator entrance and scanned the environment for a while. This hotel shocked me no more than that one at the theme park.
The Ferris wheel of that era was smaller, but over the past ten years, even though it has been renovated, it still looks a bit mediocre compared to other hotels that are rising day by day. The price is very high, but it has no characteristics.
When I checked in, I didn't see many other guests. It can be seen that the occupancy rate is not very high. Now it mainly uses the sign of the old store. It is probably thanks to the fact that the news spread rate in those days was not as rapid as it is today.
Fang Xuehua is not a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and her news coverage is relatively low. Otherwise, if people knew about the scandal of someone hanging himself in a well-known hotel, no one would dare to stay there.
Fortunately, the hotel is still open for business. I silently thank the owner for his perseverance. Otherwise, how could I walk Fang Xuehua's path to death all over again?
12th floor.
Walking through the long corridor, the lights were dim, and I didn’t see anyone in the front, back, left, or right. The hand holding the bag tightened, and there was a cold air passing behind me. I turned around sharply: "Is that you?"
It should be that bloody kid following me——
no one.
I frowned. He must be timid. He took the room card and shook it on the door handle, unscrewed it, and walked in. I opened the bathroom door directly. There was nothing unusual. The layout remained the same as before, and the bathtub was still there.
The pull rods used by Fang Xuehua for hanging were all placed in their previous positions, but they were replaced with new ones.
I silently swept around inside, but there was no dust. It seemed that Fang Xuehua didn't have much energy left. It might have been too long. Plus, business people all know this, so they should find someone to do rituals and so on.
, otherwise we can’t let people live in it so generously, what if it’s haunted?
I walked to the window where Fang Xuehua was standing on the phone and saw the bustling street downstairs. Although I was vague about the environment when I saw Fang Xuehua's death, I could basically figure it out.
After looking around the bedroom and living room a few times, I sat on the sofa and closed my eyes for a while. I was so breathless that I could hardly feel anything while sitting here. If most people come to live in this room, there shouldn't be any problem. Occasionally, I can.
Women with weak horoscopes or long-term illness may have some nightmares when they stay there, but it won’t delay things. On the other hand, it’s right for this room to be open to the public. Only if it is popular can Aunt Xue Hua be like that.
The resentment of committing suicide and staying here is getting smaller and smaller, and is better than nothing.
I glanced at the bag I had brought, gritted my teeth, and dialed Zhuo Jing's mobile number directly.
"Are you busy."
"fine."
As soon as Zhuo Jing responded, I heard Xiao Tian's voice coming from the other end of his cell phone. "Mr. Zhuo, the heads of all departments are ready in the conference room. He should be busy."
"Well, you are busy first. Do you have time in the evening?"
"There is a simple media meeting about the opening of Happy World. The time after eight o'clock is my own."
I smiled: "Can you give it to me?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, I'll wait for you in Room 1208 of the Shijing Hotel. See you there."
"Are you in the hotel?"
I nodded, "Well, remember to come early." After I finished speaking, I heard Xiao Tian whispering on the phone: "Mr. Zhuo, it's almost time."
"Okay, wait for me"
I hung up the phone, pursed my lips, looked hard, walked straight into the bathroom, stood in the bathtub, reached out and touched the lever, closed my eyes, "Aunt Xuehua, I'm here..."
No response, still no response.
I glanced at the now-hidden Bagua diagram in my palm, then changed my hand and rubbed it gently, "Aunt Xuehua...Aunt Xuehua..."
I called softly a few times. If anyone sees me like this now, if he is not scared by ghosts, he will be scared by me. He must think that this person is sick. I have seen people who hit ghosts and want to exorcise evil spirits. They have definitely never seen me like this.
If you sow seeds, you will see hell.
A slight coolness gradually came from the palm of my hand, but it was still weak, too weak.
Letting out a long breath, I got out of the bathtub and frowned at the mirror. This was definitely not going to work. Zhuo Jing had already put up a lot of trouble. The matter must come to an end tonight, otherwise Zhuo Jing would be wrong if he knew that I came to him.
If you cooperate with something like this, you will definitely have to scold me. No matter how much I get scolded, I will be rewarded.
Walking to the living room, I opened my bag and took out the things I had prepared inside, including a white skirt, stockings, and a wig. Then I took out a piece of red paper, cut out a human figure, and wrote on the back of the paper figure.
The name of Xue Hua above was then tied around the neck of the paper man with a white thread. Then he entered the bathroom, rubbed the paper man on the horizontal tie rod a few times, and then hung it on the top with a white thread to breathe.
After everything was done, I started to change clothes, and then all I had to do was wait for Zhuo Jing to come.
Originally, I thought that if I could simply feel it directly, I wouldn’t have to do this, but looking at it now, there really is no shortcut. I just wear a white skirt and a wig indoors in the winter.
Those who didn't know better thought I was in a bad mood and turned up the air conditioner, otherwise my legs would be really chilly.
After taking a look at the time, I put the lighter in a secret place in the bathroom, found a clean paper cup and mineral water, looked up at the white paper man floating back and forth freely, and opened my mouth: "I'll do it tonight.
is you."
…
Late, eight twenty.
There was a knock on the door.
I adjusted my long wig, but I was still a little nervous. It wasn't because I was nervous about what I had to do soon, but because I was nervous about seeing Zhuo Jing all this time.
After clearing my throat, I stood in the door and asked softly: "Who?"
I will definitely not open the door if I don't know who's coming. If others see my virtue, I won't be able to survive.
"it's me."
Zhuo Jing's cold and indifferent voice came, and I bit my lip: "It must be you."
"Do you still need help from others with this matter?"
Why do these words sound so awkward? I stood at the door and gently opened the door for him. I also followed the door and leaned back slightly. Zhuo Jing came directly in with a blast of cold air and looked at
My eyes immediately jumped up with a hint of doubt: "Ma Jiaolong, you..."
"Shh, come in first."
I spoke in a low voice, glanced behind him cautiously, then stretched out my hand to pull him in, leaned against the door and closed it with a bang. Then I took a long breath and looked at him standing beside me.
The person on the other side looked a little surprised and giggled twice: "You are quite punctual.":
Zhuo Jing stood opposite me, frowning slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Ma Jiaolong, you are dressed like a female ghost, you know."
It’s not like that would be a waste of preparation all afternoon!
I walked up to him in a dog-legged manner and smiled softly: "You must be tired, go in and sit for a while."
But he put his arm directly around my waist, looked directly at me, and whispered: "Ma Jiaolong, do you know you are playing with fire by giving a man such a surprise?"
I didn't dare to look at him, and my voice was so astringent: "Can you go in and sit down for a while? I've ordered some food for you and put it in the living room. You eat some food first, and then, wait for me for a while...
…”
"Do you have any other tricks?"
"It's not a trick, it's just that you eat first and I take a bath first, okay?"
"You are dressed like this, haven't you washed it?"
I was really embarrassed by his slightly teasing tone. I pushed him to sit on the sofa, cleared his throat vigorously, pointed at the meal I asked the waiter to bring in, and said, "Mr. Zhuo, please help me.
Eat for a while first and wait for me for a while, okay?"
Zhuo Jing raised his eyebrows, but looked at me calmly, slowly took off his coat, his eyes fell on my legs, and he opened his mouth slightly unhappy: "Silk stockings? Ma Jiaolong, who taught you
The one wearing this thing is not that Rong Danfeng, right?"
I pulled up the skirt I was wearing and stood in front of him. I actually felt the discomfort I felt when Sister Li led me upstairs to meet him. I said, "It's not what you think. Anyway, you are just waiting here for me."
Just half an hour will be enough, okay? If you don’t like what I’m wearing, I’ll change it when I come out in a while.”
Zhuo Jing leaned on the sofa and looked at me with his chin slightly raised. His aura made me extremely uncomfortable: "The skirt is very beautiful, but I don't like these stockings. They have no sense of beauty."
I secretly cursed, no one asked you to participate in the beauty pageant here?!
"come over."
I pursed my lips and walked to his side with a smile on my face. Just when I was about to open my mouth, I looked at him with a panicked look on my face: "Ah! Zhuo Jing! Your hair!!"
Zhuo Jing was a little confused by my surprised attitude: "What's wrong?"
"You have gray hair! Why do you have gray hair before you reach thirty! Don't move! I will pluck it out for you!!"
As he said that, I didn't wait for him to speak, and pulled out two hairs with one hand. Zhuo Jing's body froze, and he directly held my wrist with one hand. Before I could react, he used his strength to pull me.
In his arms: "Ma Jiaolong, what are you doing?"
My heart was really beating wildly. I held his hair tightly in my hands, looked at his delicate facial features so close at hand, and opened my mouth: "I'm not doing any tricks. I just saw that you have white hair, and I want to help you pull it out."
...Hey, don’t!”
I stretched out my other hand and pushed his face hard. Because I was too nervous, my hand made a crisp 'pop' sound when I pushed it up. If I had raised it simply and neatly, it would have been a slap, very violent.
A slap...
Oh my God, this is actually just my instinctive reaction when I see his face close to me. I must not have chest pain at this time. It will delay things too much. And since I know that Cheng Baize will know as soon as Zhuo Jing and I kiss, there is always a kind of
When I do bad things, I have the fear of being spied on, so from all aspects, I am quite repelled. The moment I saw his thin lips being pushed to the wrong side, I exclaimed in my heart, "What a sin!"
Taking advantage of the gap when he froze, I immediately struggled up and ran to the safe area next to the sofa in a slightly embarrassed manner. I was panting slightly and looked at the man sitting there who was blinded by my sudden move.
There was a confused Zhuo Jing, yes, he was confused. It was the first time I saw Zhuo Jing, who had always been simple and rough, like this. I thought it was quite cute. Maybe he didn’t expect that I would suddenly push his face so hard...
.
"Ma Jiaolong, you..." He gritted his teeth, stood up, his eyes darkened, and untied his tie fiercely: "You are dead."
Level 1 alert!!
I took a few steps back: "I swear to you, I didn't mean it just now. I didn't mean to hit you so hard. I didn't mean to hit you... Calm down and wait for me for a while!!"
There was a sound of 'Bang'! I locked the door as fast as I could. I leaned against the bathroom door and gasped. Behind the door panel was Zhuo Jing knocking on the door. No, there was a sound of banging on the door. "Ma Jiaolong, come out here."
!”
I carefully put his hair on the sink and rubbed my face vigorously. Why did I do it with such heavy hands?
"Wait for me for a while. I'll take a shower and then go out!!"
I pretended that nothing was wrong and shouted like a human being, and then turned on the shower to show off. The knocking on the door stopped, and I let out a long breath. I could guess how ugly his face looked now without even thinking about it.
, it seems that I will have an explanation after everything is done!
When there was completely silence outside the door, I carefully stopped the shower, took a deep breath and told myself to put Zhuo Jing's matter aside first. After all, he couldn't really be angry with me. Looking in the mirror, I
First, he picked up the head curtain on his wig, then took out the lighter hidden here, lit Zhuo Jing's hair with fire, burned it a little, twisted out the powder with his fingers and smeared it on his Tianling Cap. This was to borrow some Zhuo Jing's hair.
If you have evil spirits, your fortune will be much lower, and you won't be able to avoid ghosts.
Then I squatted down, calculated the position, and then took out the paper man that I had hung up all afternoon, facing the direction of Aunt Xuehua's graveyard, holding the clean paper cup, and then burned the paper man and talked about mineral springs.
Pour water into the diluted paper ash, raise your head, and drink it directly into your stomach.
"Uh-huh...oooo..."
The moment the paper ash entered my stomach, my teeth began to bite and tremble uncontrollably, and my mouth made a small sound like a low sob. I was crying, crying uncontrollably...
It's her, I'm her...
Before the joy in my heart came out, I felt that my sight was a little blurry, blocked by tears. I wiped my eyes, stood up slowly while holding on to the sink, and looked at myself in the mirror, Zhang
When I opened my mouth, it was still me, but it was clearly Fang Xuehua with a face full of sadness and tears!
It seems that the work I did is still useful. With Zhuo Jing's body outside and Zhuo Jing's anger in his head, I also used the paper man to return to his position. I really can't miss a step!
My hand still unconsciously took off my stockings, I was crying and sniffing softly. Zhuo Jing knocked on the door again: "Ma Jiaolong, what are you doing? Are you crying? It's for no reason."
Why are you crying, come out."
"I'm not crying, please leave me alone."
I wanted to speak in my normal manner, but I couldn't do it at all. My voice was full of tears, so I naturally wrapped my stockings around the horizontal tie rod above the bathtub that was used to pull the shower curtain.
"Come out and hear me, otherwise I'll be really angry."
I fastened the deadlock and stuck my head inside uncontrollably, saying, "Leave me alone, don't... uh..."
My legs suddenly buckled down!
It’s not that I wanted to bend. It was more like some force kicked me hard at the joints of my hind legs. My neck was instantly strangled and I couldn’t speak. A feeling of suffocation came over me.
, To be honest, my first feeling at that time was to stand up immediately. I was extremely frightened and in unspeakable pain. My mouth was wide open. The feeling of despair was overwhelming. Fang Xuehua’s energy in my body seemed to be struggling. In my heart
A vague thought came out, as long as she stood up, as long as she stood up!
But she didn't. My hands began to grab forward, and my feet were as heavy as the iron blocks tied to the sinking pond. She was in such absolute pain. I suddenly felt that this process was too cruel, and a voice in my heart even shouted
Aunt Xuehua, why did you die like this in the first place, why did you die in such pain!!
Zhuo Jing began to knock on the door hurriedly, "Ma Jiaolong! Ma Jiaolong!!"
I couldn't make a sound to respond, and my eyes began to be filled with blood. I could no longer see the bathroom door clearly, and in the redness that exuded the breath of death, the scenes flashed before my eyes like a movie!
"Sister, you are acting like a third party. If this news about you gets out, how will you behave?"
It was Aunt Xuemei, such a young Aunt Xuemei. She and Aunt Xuehua sat face to face in a shop that looked like a coffee shop. I looked at them quietly like an audience holding popcorn waiting for the movie to start.
, even the expressions on their faces can be seen extremely clearly.
"Okay, don't worry about me. I know what's going on."
Aunt Xuemei's face was filled with worry: "How do you call it "Youshuang"? Sister, I know you are doing it for Jingkang's good, but you can't involve yourself in it. You forgot that you didn't have a clear understanding with the director before.
It's something... Anyway, it's all Liu Jingkang's fault. If he hadn't been the matchmaker for you, how would you have known Zhuo Yuncheng, and now... you're still pregnant."
Fang Xuehua looked leisurely and contented, "Okay, you have been so timid since you were a child. After your parents left, you left us with that little real estate. What can you do with it? My good sister, you are used to living like a young mistress."
Now, can I still let Liu Jingkang make you suffer? The previous director was in vain. He was simply a henwife. If I hadn’t wanted to go abroad in the early years, would I have anything to do with him? But I still have to thank Jingkang.
,If it weren't for him, how could I know Zhuo Yuncheng..."
As she said that, she couldn't wait for Aunt Xuemei to answer, so she touched her belly and softly said, "Do you know what I'm carrying in my belly?"
"What else can it be but a child? Sister, you are playing with fire. Get rid of the child quickly. Otherwise, the child will be inferior when he is born. It is an illegitimate child."
"What do you know? This is Longzi, the prince, and this is our Xuehua's chance to make a comeback."
There was a hint of pride in Fang Xuehhua's eyes, and she looked at Fang Xuemei: "Xuemei, do you know what is the weakest thing in the Zhuo family? It's the child. Jiang Meiyuan can't give birth to her son. She only has one son, and he's still a tuberculosis boy. I heard
Let me ask you sir to get rid of evil spirits. Let’s not talk about anything else. Even if the child grows up, the one in my belly is also the second young master. Do you know how much assets the Zhuo family has? How to calculate this account?
, I can’t even lose anything.”
"Sister, why are you still so stubborn? You have only known Zhuo Yuncheng for a year. How can you be sure that he can be responsible for your child? You forgot that the director...
"Don't mention him. Is a man like Yuncheng comparable to the kind of director? I used to commit myself to that guy just for profit. Now I am with Yuncheng not just for money, but because I love him. You know, I love him."
He, this child, I have to give birth to him no matter what, I don't believe that Zhuo Yuncheng can not like his son when he sees it, or give me a title."
Fang Xuemei was about to cry but had no tears: "Sister, he has a wife. Who doesn't know that Jiang Meiyuan once accompanied him to work hard? You are already a step too late, you know? You should beat the child quickly. I don't know it now."
I'm worried about you. You are still so close to Jiang Meiyuan. If she knows that you actually have thoughts about her husband from the very beginning..."
"She won't know. That silly woman thought that I was really willing to be friends with her and start a company. I didn't go to their house just to go to their house more. Just wait. She will be dumbfounded when my child is born. By then I will
I'm not afraid of breaking up. She has to admit it even if she doesn't admit it. I asked her to be the first wife. Anyway, my bets are all in my belly. If I have a child, Yuncheng won't cut off contact with me, and she won't even think about it.
One person occupies Yuncheng."
"Sister, why are you like this? You and Jiang Meiyuan run a company together. If she knows about it, how will you two meet in the company in the future? Is it possible that you have invested so much money and you can still get away with it?
Frozen?"
Fang Xuehua raised her eyebrows and reached out to touch her belly gently: "What should I be afraid of when I invest money? The child in my belly is here. This is my trump card. Only by giving up some sesame seeds can I hold a watermelon."
"Sister, those sesame seeds are all your savings. If they are gone..."
"Okay, my silly sister, with your future nephew here, don't worry. Both you, Jing Kang and I have long-term meal tickets. Our lives will get better and better in the future, and neither will Jiang Meiyuan."
Worse, at the very least, I won’t force her to abdicate. Anyway, I don’t want to steal her position. As long as I can be with Yuncheng and give birth to Yuncheng’s child... Hey, my happiness, but
It's all in your nephew's hands."
I shook my head slightly. Although I came here to avenge Fang Xuehua, I didn't know why she wanted me to see her like this. It really disgusted me. She was such a proper mistress. I didn't want to care about it anymore.
If she has, just let her suppress her, she asked for it!
The scene of the two sisters chatting began to lengthen. I opened my eyes slightly. Behind Fang Xuehua, Jiang Meiyuan was sitting there curled up. She was wearing a mask, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying. I recognized her and looked at her.
With the tissue already crushed in my hand, I actually had the feeling that she was the poor one. The mistress was pregnant with her husband's child, and she was so brazen that she wanted to give birth to her child, and she wanted to share a husband with her and be willing to be the second wife!
A game within a game.
Fang Xuehua thought that she was using Jiang Meiyuan to buy herself the time to get in touch with Zhuo Yuncheng in a legitimate way, but she didn't know that she had actually fallen into Jiang Meiyuan's trap early on. Life is really like drinking water, knowing whether you are warm or not.
I didn't take the breath for long, because I was also afraid that I would be strangled to death. The screen began to pull away quickly. At the same time, there was a loud bang in my ears. The bathroom door must have been opened.
