Chapter 554 New Residence
Xia Ling felt a touch of warmth in her heart when she saw them.
However, knowing that they could not disobey the old man's order, they only said: "Tell Li Lei for me that I will call him when I settle down in the new place." This sentence implicitly means to report that it is safe. If If she called, it meant she was okay; if she hadn't called, maybe there was an accident.
The security supervisor understood and nodded solemnly.
Mr. Li’s men also understood, but their faces were expressionless and they did not stop their conversation. Seeing this situation, Xia Ling and the security director felt a little relieved. It seemed that the old man did not plan to kill people and mutilate their bodies just yet, and her personal safety was still guaranteed.
Several people escorted Xia Ling into the car.
The car passed through half of the city and drove into a high-end villa area where land was extremely valuable.
The one-way street surrounded by greenery and blooming flowers, with black iron fences and red walls near and far. Xia Ling felt that this place looked familiar - wasn't this the villa area where she and Pei Ziheng once lived? !
The car stopped next to the Pei family villa.
The servants of the Li family began to move things down, including her suitcase, portable woven bag, etc.
Xia Ling felt bad: "You brought me here to live?"
The leading servant had an expressionless face: "This villa was specially bought by the old man for you. He asked me to tell you that after just a few months with our young master, you can get such a villa, so you should be satisfied. . You don’t deserve anything else, don’t be wishful thinking. You are not qualified to be the young lady of the Li family.”
Xia Ling laughed angrily. So, is this the breakup fee?
She looked around. The whole villa was empty, with wild lilies and roses blooming in the corners. She remembered that as early as three months ago, when she was still in the Pei family, someone lived here. A kind-hearted couple lived here. They met her occasionally and would greet her with a smile.
“Where is the original owner?” Xia Ling asked.
“Moved.” said the Li family servant. The original owner of this villa was just an ordinary businessman. The old man paid three times the price and threatened to move it without any effort.
“You bought it especially for me to live in?” Xia Ling asked.
The servant of the Li family said: "Yes."
Xia Ling’s hands clenched into fists unconsciously. The old man had good intentions, fearing that he would have investigated the ambiguity between her and Pei Ziheng earlier, so he arranged her new home next door to Pei Ziheng. His motive was sinister, wasn't he just hoping that she and Pei Ziheng would get back together and break up with Li Lei?
“I don’t live here.” Xia Ling said.
She recalled the day she came back from burying her child. Li Lei took her hand and put it on his heart. He said in a soft and aggrieved tone: "It hurts to see you with him here." ]
She didn't want to make him feel bad anymore.
But the servant of the Li family said: "You must live here."
“What if I say no?” Xia Ling sneered.
The servant of the Li family said: "In that case, the old man will be angry and disgusted with you even more, and the relationship with Master Lei will also deteriorate. Miss Ye, Master Lei is the most beloved grandson raised by the old man. You hope that because of you Let their grandfather and grandson turn against each other? "
If she really returns to Pei Ziheng's arms, they will turn against each other.
Xia Ling was unmoved: "I want to move away."
She bent down to pick up her suitcase. The calfskin suitcase was a bit heavy and had thick handles. She did not lift it after lifting it. Suddenly, I heard the voice of a servant of the Li family coming from above my head: "Three years."
What?
She was slightly startled and looked up at him in confusion. "The old man said, three years." The Li family servant said in a calm tone, "If you live here for three years and still want to be with Master Lei, then the old man will consider your marriage."
Her hand paused slightly. Stop, or not?
If you only live here for three years, you can get the old man's approval, which can be regarded as a peaceful solution. However, there have been too many changes in the past three years. If nothing else, just the fact that Pei Ziheng is eyeing him next door makes it difficult to sleep and eat well.
"Just 'consider'?" Xia Ling narrowed her eyes slightly. It related to her and Li Lei's future. She used all her talents to negotiate, "I want a definite answer."
The servant of the Li family remained expressionless: "No one in the world can negotiate terms with the old man."
“Then I will be the first.”
“If you don’t live there, you won’t even consider it.”
"There is no sincerity at all in this delaying tactic like 'considering'. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Li family servant: "..." Miss Ye, aren't you stupid? All the previous intelligence said that your IQ is in arrears, which is why the old man dislikes you and the young master being together! What should I do if I have a child who is mentally retarded in the future?
The occasionally clever classmate Xia Xiaoling makes things difficult for the servants.
He walked away a few steps and called Mr. Li: "Yes, yes... Okay, I got it."
After closing the line, the servant came back and said to Xia Ling: "The old man promised that if you live here for three years, he will let you enter the Li family." This was still a very subtle statement. What did she ask her to do? Identity to enter the door? The principal wife? The shady aunt? What's more, if you are cruel and get her to marry any collateral descendant, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement.
This time, Xia Ling didn't expect so much. She was quite satisfied with the result of the negotiation and nodded.
“Will the old man regret it?” she asked.
"The old man has never broken a promise in his life." The voice of the servant of the Li family was cold, but vaguely arrogant.
Xia Ling thought about it. She had been with Pei Ziheng for a long time in her last life, and she had been hanging out with Li Lei, Wei Shaoyin and others in this life. She knew these big shots quite well. They could cut off their heads but not mess up their hairstyles, even if they risked their lives. , but you can't do without moral integrity. There is no need for Mr. Li to destroy his moral integrity for a little person like her.
She bent down to pick up her suitcase again, so she just accepted it and stayed there.
The servants of the Li family helped her move all the suitcases, large and small, in, settled them, and left quickly.
Xia Ling looked at the boxes piled up in the empty living room and was in a daze for a while, then she remembered to call Li Lei. When the call didn't go through, she left a message on his voicemail, roughly saying that she was kicked out by Mr. Li, and reported her current address.
Hang up the phone, she still had no intention of packing her luggage.
My head feels dizzy. I had a cold in the morning and I haven’t recovered from it. After a lot of ups and downs, my condition is getting worse and my body is getting chills.
She dug out a water glass from her suitcase and went to the kitchen to get some hot water. After drinking it, she still felt uncomfortable. Mr. Li brought all her valuable jewelry and utensils with her, except for the cold medicine.
Xia Xiaoling’s classmate sniffed and wanted to cry.
The doorbell rings.
She staggered to the front yard and saw a man standing outside the black iron fence. The man's tall figure was facing the setting sun, and his stern face had a mysterious sense of oppression.
