After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl
Chapter 505 Abnormality
Xia Ke didn't seem to notice the gazes of the people around her. She was still immersed in her own world, occasionally letting out a few nervous chuckles, as if she was enjoying some kind of black humor that only she could understand.
The atmosphere in the VIP room became more serious. Xia Ke's illness and her abnormal behavior made this afternoon tea full of uneasiness and tension.
Everyone is waiting for the further development of the situation, and at the same time, they are secretly vigilant and prepared to deal with any emergencies that may arise.
Since the name of this visit is the interaction between the Su family and the Xia family.
Su Xue naturally has to play a role as a link between the past and the following.
She looked at Xia Ke, who had been pushed to the table by the head maid, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in two years, Miss Xia, you have changed so much."
If it was a formal social occasion, Amelia Su would not directly poke others' pain.
Because the reason why a girl changes so much may be because she has been hit too hard.
For example, her parents died.
But this time Li Muhan and others came because of Xia Ke, and Xia Ke was obviously not normal now.
Li Muhan even felt that she was not a human being.
"......Who are you."
Xia Ke glanced at Su Xue, and then quickly lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Su Xue. There were many secrets hidden in her heart, and Xia Ke didn't want her secrets to be exposed to these people too early.
But she doesn't know how to hide it.
He couldn't even change the subject.
Just like a frightened little animal, it immediately wants to run away when encountering fright or stimulation.
"Don't you remember me? I was honored to have a few words with you at the cocktail party two years ago. At that time, I benefited a lot from your plans for the development of the Xia family's future industry and your desire to join the art industry."
"Ah...! I, I remember, yes, that's right... Hmm."
Xia Ke nodded immediately like a donkey riding down the slope, and then imitated Su Xue and tried to squeeze out a calm smile.
But in the eyes of others, the smile on her thin face was extremely bleak.
"In this case, I came here today to have a preliminary conversation about the future cooperation between the Xia family and the Su family. The eldest young master of the Xia family should not be in Tianhai City now, so I think, Miss Xia, you are the best person to contact. That’s why I came to visit rashly, please forgive me.”
Su Xue changed the topic quickly, as if she didn't want Xia Ke to have more time to think.
She could feel that this girl was hiding something, and she was very bad at hiding her inner feelings. This continuous jumping of topics that prevented her from thinking deeply was just to let her show her true colors.
"Miss Xia Ke, I heard that you have unique insights into the family's industry. I wonder if you can share some with me?"
Xia Ke's face turned pale instantly, her eyes began to flicker, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the armrests of the wheelchair, looking extremely uneasy.
Faced with Su Xue's question about the family business, Xia Ke's answer was hesitant and he obviously lacked understanding of family affairs.
"I...I'm not particularly clear about these," Xia Ke's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Her eyes wandered, not daring to meet Su Xue's eyes: "Father and brother have always been involved in family affairs. Li, I rarely participate."
Su Xue's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She obviously noticed Xia Ke's abnormality and continued to ask: "But as far as I know, the Xia family is very strict in cultivating family members. As the eldest lady of the Xia family, how can you treat the family so little?" Don’t you understand? And two years ago, when you had a brief exchange with me two years ago, you told me that you knew everything about the family’s business. You also said that you didn’t want to be a burden to the family. , Even if I have a physical disability, I still want to face the world with dignity as a Xia family member, and what you said impressed me deeply, Miss Xia."
Xia Ke's nervousness reached its peak at this moment. She started biting her nails unconsciously, a classic sign of anxiety. Her breathing became rapid, the smile on her lips became stiff, and her eyes flashed with an almost panicked look.
"I...I don't know," Xia Ke's voice began to tremble, and her other hand gripped the edge of the wheelchair tightly, her knuckles turning white from the exertion, "Please forgive me, I feel a little uncomfortable today. "
Xia Ke's pathology was fully revealed in front of everyone at this moment.
She began to talk to herself, as if talking to herself, trying to calm the fear in her heart: "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine."
At this moment, 035, who had been watching the conversation, suddenly glanced to the side.
She saw that the maid named Lu Keke had come to the side of the head maid, with an anxious expression as if she was begging for something.
"...I, can we do anything? Miss Xia is very emotionally unstable now."
"We can't interrupt the ladies' tea party."
After enhancing the auditory perception system, 035 clearly heard the conversation between the two.
Li Muhan also heard this conversation, but he was more curious about why 035 cared so much about the maid named Lu Keke.
Since entering this room, 035 has not paid the slightest attention to other maids, not even Xia Ke. Her attention has been focused on the maid named Lu Keke several times.
"...Please, please do something."
Lu Keke almost begged.
The head maid sighed.
So she took two steps forward and came to the small tea party table.
Her voice was calm and full of sympathy: "Dear Miss Su, and everyone here, please forgive me for being rude. I understand Miss Su's concerns and questions about Miss Xia. Miss Xia Ke has shown extraordinary ability since she was a child. Talent and loyalty to the family. Unfortunately, Miss Xia suffered a huge blow after the tragic death of her parents, which had a considerable impact on her mental state. She has been working hard to overcome this difficulty. Even so, memories and sadness from the past can sometimes come back unexpectedly and affect her mood."
The head maid turned her eyes to Xia Ke, her eyes full of love and protection:
"Ms. Xia is a strong and brave woman who is unwilling to let these personal troubles affect her responsibility and commitment to the family. She did once know the family's affairs well, but please understand that even the strongest person, There are times when strength is overwhelming. Today, Ms. Xia may just feel a little uncomfortable, but this does not diminish our respect and support for her."
As she spoke, the maid gently placed her hand on Xia Ke's shoulder.
Xia Ke's body trembled slightly, and then slowly regained her composure. She raised her head and looked at Amelia Su.
"...I'm really sorry, Miss Su. My mood is very unstable right now. Can we talk another day?"
"of course can."
Su Xue also knew that if they continued to entangle, they would become unreasonable. After all, it was just suspicion now and there was no direct evidence that Xia Ke was related to those incidents.
Just when they stood up to leave, Xia Yue suddenly rushed to Xia Ke's wheelchair.
In front of everyone, Xia Yue did something that shocked everyone.
She opened her mouth suddenly and bit Xia Ke's neck.
