Chapter 748: just a child
Chapter 748 Just a child
Xia Ling's eyes flickered, and she understood what he was talking about.
She has recently been dealing with the issue of Shao Hui's life experience step by step. In order to prevent people from discovering that this child was the one named Pei Ziheng, she tried her best to set up a roundabout situation.
Pei Ziheng is so smart, he can see through it at a glance.
She smiled and said, "I have nothing to thank you for." She did not accept his gift.
He was still standing by the fence, with a low voice: "Don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
She said: “It’s inconvenient.”
He looked down at her. In this life, he was rarely rejected by others, but she challenged his authority once and twice, but he was helpless. But it doesn't matter... They are destined to be entangled for life. He knows very well that the girl in front of him still cares about him. Otherwise, why would she waste such trouble on Shao Hui's life?
She is not with Li Lei yet.
Things are not yet deadlocked.
He will take everything back.
With a very elegant smile, Pei Ziheng handed the big gift box in his arms to her: "I put down the gift. If you need me in any way, just come to me." After saying that, without waiting for her to answer, he turned and left. .
Xia Ling watched his back disappear through another villa door. She was lost in thought for a while before carrying the big gift box back into the room. When she opened it, she saw a sparkling evening dress, very similar to what he would give as a gift. The elegant style and color revealed a fatal charm in the details.
The point is, it suits her very well.
However, she did not intend to wear it. He dragged the dress upstairs and put it in a storage room - Pei Ziheng had given more and more gifts over the years, and the box had long been out of space, so a special storage room was created. She will never use the things in it. This is a space that belongs to dusty memories, a fleeting time that has passed away.
“Mom, mom, did Uncle Pei give you something again?” At some point, Xiao Shaohui came behind her and asked softly as he watched her put the big gift box into the storage room.
"Yes." In front of the child, she was not too shy, "Don't let your father know."
Xiao Shaohui nodded obediently. In fact, my father already knew what was in the storage room, and he even coaxed and tricked him several times to get him to steal the contents and throw them away.
Xiao Shaohui felt that he was so cute, so he couldn't do such a thing - well, the most important thing was that his uncle once told him to give his father a sense of crisis. His father had bullied his mother for so many years, so he couldn't be allowed to take advantage of her so easily. Mom got it after her pursuit. Although Xiao Shaohui does not agree with this view, but...
He did not dare to offend his uncle.
Dad is a lesson learned from the past, woo woo woo.
So, this storage room has always existed.
Before Xia Ling closed the door, she glanced at the things inside. Most of the gifts given by Pei Ziheng were of high value, and the room was full of brilliance, exquisiteness and luxury. She sighed inaudibly, and suddenly remembered a poem - If life is just like the first time we met.
How good it would be if it were just like the first time we met.
Leaving aside Pei Ziheng, she took Shao Hui around as usual, dated Li Lei, and met Mr. Li from time to time to have a meal and drink tea together. Mr. Li probably really accepted her and asked Su Tang to avoid him every time. She saw it and it would be a lie to say that he wasn't touched at all.
Maybe, Li Lei was right, that was a really good grandpa.
Until something happened.
On this day, Xia Ling went home after finishing her announcement. It was already dark and the strings were playing like hooks. She opened the door and went upstairs to see Shao Hui, but she saw no one in the child's bedroom. She frowned slightly, why was it so late and the child hadn't gone to bed yet? He retreated to the corridor and called softly, "Shaohui?"
Still no one responded.
She went downstairs to check again, but there was still nothing.
Xia Ling couldn't help but panic. She went to the servant's room to wake up the nanny who had gone to bed and asked, "Where is young master Shaohui? Have you seen where he is?"
The nanny was confused: "Young master? Aren't you sleeping in the bedroom? I helped him go to bed and then went back to his room to rest." She followed Xia Ling to check, but found no one.
At this time, the nanny also became anxious and searched every corner of the villa with her.
No, nowhere.
Her heart was pounding, and an ominous premonition spread. She picked up the phone and was about to call Li Lei. Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was an unknown caller.
“Hello?” she answered.
At the other end, the old man’s voice came unexpectedly: “Ye Xingling?”
"Old man?" Even though Xia Ling was thinking about Shao Hui, she tried her best to restrain herself in front of this elder. What can I do for you? I’ll call you later, I’m in a hurry right now—”
“You are looking for that kid Shaohui, right?” Grandpa’s voice on the other end of the phone was calm.
Xia Ling's heart suddenly jumped out of her chest: "How do you know? Where is he?!"
"He is safe for the time being, don't worry." The old man's voice sounded a little different from when we met on weekdays, with a colder tone. "Miss Ye, I'm curious how much you love that child? Do you want to do it for me?" That child gives up his so-called love? "
Xia Ling felt a buzz in her head: "What?"
The old man's voice became even colder: "To be honest, I didn't like you from the first time I met you, and I still don't like you until now. I have made a pretense of accepting you these days, just because I don't want to make Xiaolei sad, and..." He smiled lightly, "When I send someone to kidnap Shao Hui, Xiao Lei will not suspect me."
"You kidnapped Shao Hui?!" Xia Ling felt that the whole world had collapsed. It turned out that the harmony these days was an illusion. She had long fallen into the trap carefully prepared by the old man. "What... do you want? How do you want it?" How can you give him back to me?" she asked tremblingly, vaguely guessing the answer in her heart.
Sure enough, the old man said: "Leave Li Lei."
She bit her lip, "What if I can't do it?"
"I sent someone to send a video to your mailbox. If Miss Ye is interested, you can click on it and have a look." The old man said unhurriedly, "Maybe it would be better to negotiate terms with me after you watch it. ”
Xia Ling didn't have time to hang up the phone, so she rushed to the computer and opened the mailbox. Sure enough, there was a video file lying quietly inside. She opened it with trembling hands and saw an unsightly picture - young Shao Hui, stripped of all his clothes, his hands hanging on handcuffs in the middle of a room, blindfolded, being raped by a man wearing a black leather jacket. Leather pants, tune - whipping by a man who looks like a teacher.
Shao Hui’s little face was twisted in pain, and there were red marks all over his body.
"No!" Xia Ling cried out, and grabbed her phone again like crazy, "Li Shanhe, what are you going to do to him?! He's just a child!" Her voice was so sharp that it changed the tone, and countless nightmares from her previous life were lingering in her voice. This moment flooded into my mind, and my vision went black for a while, making me almost unsteady on my feet.
Ah ah ah, it’s actually five minutes late! By the way, the Warcraft movie is really good. I highly recommend everyone to watch it. It’s worth watching twice!
