Liao Granny wiped Liao Xianghe’s back. Because of the dicinal alcohol just applied, the wounds on his back looked red-black and terrifying.
Liao Granny looked at his wounds and sighed, "It might hurt a bit when you sleep tonight, rember to lie on your stomach."
"Alright, I can stay ho and accompany you well this ti. Xiaofeng told not to go with the car for a while and to stay ho and learn about safety. The incident with Mantou was largely my responsibility. I even thought Xiaofeng would fire . Even if she did, it would be what I deserve." Who let him neglect the importance of safety?
Just like Xiaofeng said, if sothing had really happened to Mantou, he would never forgive himself for life.
"Is Xiaofeng back?" Liao Granny hadn’t seen Xiaofeng for a while.
"Yes, it’s good she’s back, otherwise, with such a big incident happening, I wouldn’t have known how to handle it."
"Safety first when going out, not just our own, but others’ safety too. If it’s dangerous, just don’t do it." Liao Granny, of course, understood that her son’s work was a dangerous occupation, accidents could happen anyti.
But, in life, one can’t not do things out of fear.
He’s a man who needs to support a family in the future.
"Mom, after this incident, I don’t dare to be careless anymore. When going out, you need to be careful and responsible for others’ safety. Mom, it’s getting late, you should go to bed."
"Alright, I haven’t seen Xiaofeng for a while either. Tomorrow, I’ll fry so atballs and send them to Xiaofeng."
"Okay."
To be honest, it was thanks to Xiaofeng that his mom was in such good health and their family lived comfortably. In his heart, Xiaofeng was like a sister.
If anyone dared to bully her in the future, he would certainly be unwilling to let it happen.
...
Lan Shuixian stood by the window, watching the bustling traffic on the big road outside.
Not far away on the sofa sat a man in black. He wore a black hat, so his face was not visible.
Lan Shuixian extinguished the cigarette in her hand and looked at the man, "What do you an by this? Are you suggesting I make a move on Su Xiaofeng?"
"It’s not like you haven’t done sothing like this before. If you really do it, it would be like a well-practiced routine, wouldn’t it?"
"She poses no threat to right now, so why create trouble for myself by going after her, don’t you think?"
"Shui Xian, don’t forget, you don’t belong here. The owner of the body I’m in could co back and kick you out at any ti. If that happens, your original soul will dissipate and vanish from this world entirely. I’m sure you don’t want to see that, unable to return to the past or remain in the present, leaving you non-existent wherever you are." The man’s voice was hoarse.
Lan Shuixian looked at him, probably pondering how likely that was, "Are you bluffing ?"
"You can try." The man in black chuckled softly, "She is the obstacle to your continued existence here. If you don’t eliminate her, you won’t have good days ahead either."
"No, you’re lying to ." Lan Shuixian suddenly laughed, "I think you want to deal with Gu Yecheng, so you’re using to go against Su Xiaofeng. We all know that if you want to deal with Gu Yecheng, his Achilles’ heel is the key. If I help you deal with Su Xiaofeng, Gu Yecheng will surely be distracted when he hears about it. Once he’s distracted, your chances of dealing with him greatly increase, don’t you think?"
"Indeed, there’s that reason, but I’m thinking more about you."
"I’ve thought it through now. I don’t want to go against her anymore. I want her to see that my life here is just as good as hers, if not better. Isn’t that even better?"
"Lan Shuixian, don’t anger . You should understand that you don’t belong here. At any ti, I can expose this news to the public. Think about it, how will outsiders view you then. They’ll surely treat you like a monster."
"Haha..." Lan Shuixian laughed, "Master, why threaten ? I know you’re in danger now and out of options, so you ca to find . Master, when the case 139 from years ago is solved, you will bear a significant responsibility. At that ti, guess how the authorities will deal with you."
That sensational case from years ago certainly won’t let those involved off easily.
"Shui Xian." The man sighed softly, "Have you, like n Chao, begun to be wary of ? You must know, in my heart, you are all my children, I couldn’t possibly harm you."
"Master, don’t say it like that. You are you, we are we. The reason you approached us back then was all for your plans." Lan Shuixian was well aware of the man’s intentions.
"I admit that Gu Yecheng’s current actions are indeed causing so trouble. I now want to cause him so trouble too. Shui Xian, you all are my people. If I’m in trouble, the consequences for you all won’t be good either. So this ti, you must stand with ."
"Master, I’m going to speak frankly. To be honest, instead of dealing with Su Xiaofeng, you should find a way to target her pair of children. The boy and girl twins are their Achilles’ heel. If you can get the twins in your hands, wouldn’t you have the couple under control?"
"I’ve dealt with Su Xiaofeng, and she’s quite elusive, not easy to approach. Compared to her being hard to approach, targeting the children must be much easier." In her previous life, Lan Shuixian didn’t get married, nor in this life, so she didn’t really like children.
More so for Su Xiaofeng’s children, she just couldn’t like them.
The man listened to her words and just narrowed his eyes.
"Master, I just don’t understand. Since you know you can’t escape, why not go abroad? As long as you leave here, the authorities’ hands, however long, can’t reach other countries, wouldn’t you say?"
"We stay here for our reasons, of course." The man stood up, "Shui Xian, consider what I’ve told you. The Gu Family is the biggest variable. Apart from dealing with them, not only but you will find a more peaceful life here."
"Master, rest assured, I know what to do."
The man in black soon left.
Lan Shuixian lit a cigarette from the pack and exhaled.
The smoke circled around her.
Lan Shuixian made a phone call, and a while later, a handso young man knocked on her door.
The young man naturally walked behind her and started massaging her temples while she closed her eyes, enjoying it.
Lan Shuiping ca over with a book. Ever since she found out her sister was a manager here, her visits significantly increased.
Skillfully, she pushed open her sister’s room and saw her sister kissing a man, which startled her into covering her eyes and screaming.
Lan Shuixian pushed the man away. The man left the room reluctantly.
"Why are you here?" Her tone was not good at the sudden appearance of her sister, "Rember to knock on the door before entering a room. Not knocking when entering is very rude."
Lan Shuiping had a form she wanted her sister to fill out. Hearing her sister’s unhappy tone, she lowered her head, "Sister, did you get a boyfriend?"
Though young, she understood what needed to be understood.
Just now, her sister and that guy were doing that thing.
Such actions are sothing only boyfriends and girlfriends or spouses can do.
"Kids like you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Why are you here?" Lan Shuixian crossed her legs, looking at her sister before her.
"The teacher asked a guardian to fill out this form. Grandmother can’t read, and you haven’t been ho for several days. School starts soon, so I ca by." Compared to her previously reserved and timid sister, Lan Shuiping was quite afraid of this current sister.
Her sister was still her sister, but she understood she wasn’t the sa sister as before either.
Her previous sister wouldn’t treat her like this or ignore their grandmother.
But what her sister went through to beco like this, she didn’t know.
"Give it here."
Lan Shuiping handed the paper that was tucked in the book to her sister, "It says to fill in our ho address and contact for the teacher’s ho visits."
"Alright, I got it."
"Sis, will you co ho tonight? Grandma hasn’t seen you for days and misses you."
"I might not have ti these days, maybe in a few days. Didn’t I give you money last ti? Is it used up?" Not lacking food or drink, what’s there to miss?
Wanting to and reality are different matters altogether.
"The money... of course, it’s enough." Lan Shuiping felt disappointed. Her sister had changed, becoming soone who only cared about money, as if she no longer wanted to acknowledge them.
"Fine, don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of ." Lan Shuixian took a few bills from her wallet, "Go back, and don’t co looking for here unless necessary."
Hearing Lan Shuixian’s words, Lan Shuiping threw the money she offered, "I don’t want your money, and I’m not here to ask for money."
