Chapter 356 - Uncle Xunxun (1/2)
”DON'T, DON'T... GO AWAY, GO AWAY.... BADDY PEOPLE... GO AWAY. XAVI..... XAVI.....” the girl screamed.
Both, Long Xun and Housekeeper Qin were shocked and puzzled by the girl's scream but Layla wasn't. She quickly understood what was wrong with the girl and she immediately moved closer to the girl. Petting her back, Layla started to comfort her and assure her. She started whispering something into the girl's ear which miraculously worked a lot and the girl stopped thrashing against the bed.
Tears were still falling from her beautiful eyes but it looked like she was understanding what Layla was saying. After a lot of whispering, it looked like she has calmed down a lot. She held Layla's hands and nodded to everything Layla was whispering into her ears.
”Layla, what's going on?” Long Xun asked.
Hearing his voice, the girl turned her head and looked at him very sharply. Long Xun's body automatically went still for a moment when he saw her looking at him, up and down very carefully. For some reason, Long Xun felt very nervous under the girl's innocent gaze.
”Layla, w-who's he?” she asked in her soft voice.
”He's my Boss, Long Xun,” Layla answered while she was still patting the girl's back in a very assuring manner.
The girl nodded. ”Layla where is my chocolate? You promised to give me one...” she asked in a childish manner.
Long Xun: ”...”
He looked back and forth between Layla and the girl and he was greatly puzzled. He didn't know what was going on and everything was making him even more confused. Why was she acting like a kid? While he wondering about the girl, he saw Layla taking out a chocolate from her pocket and giving it to the girl.
”Here, see... I didn't lie to you.” Layla smiled.
”Hmm....” the girl nodded and immediately took the chocolates from Layla's hand and she began eating them.
”Layla?” Long Xun called. He was still not sure of what was going on. ”Is she alright? What is going on with her?” he asked.
Layla sighed. ”She is not alright, Boss. Wherever she was, I don't think that they treated her well. I think... I think she might have been —”
”Stop!” Long Xun growled. His eyes widened with realization when he understood what Layla was trying to tell him. Now, he understood why the was screaming and crying when she saw him. DAMMIT!
He understood what those bastards might have done to her. The pure you look, the more it attracts evilness who is trying to ruin that pureness. He hated such kind of people who did these vile things to women.
”Boss, I think there is something wrong with her brain too. We need to call a psychiatrist for her.” Layla informed.
”What?” Long Xun asked.
She has a problem with her brain. Now, Long Xun understood why she was acting like a kid. At this moment, he felt very pity for this girl that had to suffer through so much. She looked so pure and innocent and yet she had to suffer through so much trauma.
Turning around he looked at Housekeeper Qin and he ordered, ”Uncle Qin, call for the best female doctor and the best psychiatrist available and bring them here for me.”
Housekeeper Qin frowned as he looked at the girl. ”Long Xun, what if she is acting?” he asked in a low voice. He was a little skeptical about this girl. His inner guts were pointing to only one fact that the girl is lying. He knew for sure that she wasn't the person sent by his Boss, then what is her motive for coming here? Looks like he has to keep his eyes on this girl to know whether she is acting or if she really has some problems.
”Uncle Qin, if she is acting then we will know about it. For now, do as I say....” Long Xun whispered in a low voice.
Just because he felt bad and pity for her, doesn't mean that he is stupid. He knew he had to act very smartly in front of the girl. If she is acting then he'll play along but if she is not then he will definitely help her in having a good future after his job is done with her.
Till then, she is trapped in his mansion and he will always have his eyes on her.
Housekeeper Qin nodded and he quickly left the room to make the necessary call. Long Xun glanced at the girl and slowly walked toward her. This time, the girl didn't shout like before instead, she looked at him very carefully.
”Hi, I am Long Xun.” he introduced.
The girl nodded with a smile. ”Hello, Uncle XunXun,” she called softly with a shy smile on her face.
