C48 (2/2)
While humming a tune, Lady Xu rushed over with light footsteps.
”Lady Xu, where are you going?” The sudden voice of Leng Lie scared Lady Xu to the point that she froze on the spot.
”When did you arrive?” Did he hear what she just said?
Leng Lie pretended to be calm as though he knew nothing. He snorted disdainfully and said, ”You ask too many questions, just passing by.”
”What are you so nervous about? What secret do you have that you don't want me to know? ”
”I don't have any …”
”No?”
Lady Xu nodded her head resolutely.
Leng Lie shrugged his shoulders. ”That would be the best. It's best if you don't have any secrets.”
After Leng Lie had left, Xu Jia heaved a sigh of relief.
After arriving at their destination, Lady Xu successfully received the legendary prize. Looking at the tall buildings around her and the words on the signboard, she knew that the person was not lying to her.
His heart was filled with joy, and an unconcealable excitement overflowed his face, even though he was carrying an uneasy feeling in his heart. He seemed to be a lucky person, but also seemed to be a miserable person.
”Miss Xu, now do you believe that I'm not a swindler?”
Lady Xu covered her mouth and laughed, ”Sorry about before.”
The woman who was talking to Lady Xu had an outstanding temperament and a particularly good figure. Perhaps it was because of the movement, but her skin looked especially good, even though she was a bit old.
She was upright, with a smile on her face. She felt that Lady Xu was a very good woman.
Facing Lady Xu's smile, she grinned and said, ”Actually, I don't blame you for this. All these years, fraud has been rampant. Even if I received an unfamiliar call, I would still feel conflicted.”
She stretched out her hand to shake hands with Lady Xu. ”Let's let the past become the past.”
”From today onwards, I'll be your dance teacher. My name is Fang Fang, and you can call me Teacher Fang.”
Lady Xu held Fang Fang Fang's hand and nodded her head, ”Ms Fang, I hope you can teach me in the past. If I did anything wrong, you must point it out to me.”
”Yes.”
Leg crushing could be said to be one of the cruel punishments. In the dance hall, Lady Xu deeply felt what it meant to be unable to respond to Tian Tian, to cry out that she wasn't good enough.
He felt as if his legs were about to break, but he still wasn't able to completely crush them.
When she went back, she felt she couldn't stand on the bus. Her legs could not be put together, and the taste of pain and numbness made her feel extremely pained.
He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.
Back at the Leng Clan, Mrs Liu was originally sweeping a broom when she saw the appearance of Lady Xu, who was neither a human nor a ghost.
She hurried over and asked, ”Eldest Young Mistress, what's wrong with you?”
Lady Xu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She said miserably, ”My legs are being crushed.”
”Everything is fine, why are you pressing on my leg?” Mrs Liu said with a hint of reproach, ”Come on, Mrs Liu, help you up. You don't have to go through that. At such a large age, I wonder how important my body is? ”
”Mother Liu, I understand.” Lady Xu understood what Mrs Liu was thinking, ”There is nothing I can do about it. I am the eldest young mistress of the Leng Clan, and when I am present at a few occasions, I want to dance. ”
Then, while baring her teeth, she explained the situation to Mrs Liu. Mrs Liu sighed: ”Then you should rest up and continue tomorrow.”
Xu Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't it too quick to change her face …?
Leng Lie was standing on the balcony, no one knew who he was talking to on the phone.
”How did she do today?”
”Young Master Leng is doing very well. She's a girl who can take a lot of hardships. I like her very much.”
Leng Lie did not have any other emotions when faced with the praise given to her. ”Tomorrow, I will strive to make sure that she can learn all kinds of dance dances within a month.”
”Alright, I understand.”
”Ahh …” As Lady Xu's yowls came through, Leng Lie said goodbye to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
Seeing Leng Lie, Lady Xu asked, ”Why are you standing there?”
Leng Lie did not reply. Instead, he swept his gaze across Lady Xu. ”What's wrong with you?”
”Eh …” Lady Xu wanted to say something but hesitated, ”I …”
Leng Lie did not wait for Lady Xu to continue talking, he picked her up and carried her into the room.
”Lie still and don't move.”
Lady Xu was lying on her bed. She did not understand what Leng Lie was trying to do.
Leng Lie opened the medical kit in a flurry and took out something that looked like a pill and gave it to Lady Xu.
”What is this?”
”Poison.” Leng Lie purposely gave Lady Xu a scare. ”Hurry up and eat it.”
”Leng Lie, we are all people who have fallen to the ends of the earth. Why would we need to make things difficult for each other?” Lady Xu put down the pill and said, ”I won't be eating this.”
If she was really killed by Leng Lie, then she would truly become a vengeful spirit in her lifetime. Originally, there were many people who were willing to cooperate in trying to conceal something that was extremely important to the Leng Clan.
It wasn't that she was daydreaming, it was that she felt that her life was more important.
Suddenly, her jaw was pinched, causing her mouth to open in an ”O” shape. While he was struggling, Leng Lie threw the item in.
Lady Xu tried to squat and spit it out, but it was useless.
