The Rebirth of an Orphan
Chapter 44 It's Not Her Territory
At this moment, Zhao Xihua had only one thought, that was that she must not let Sun Xiao die. If Sun Xiao and she died here today, then her life would have been lived in vain.
Even if Sun Xiao died and she was lucky enough to survive, the Sun family would not let her go. After all, they were sitting in the same car, and Sun Xiao was killed because he was protecting her. Wouldn't she be living a life worse than death then?
The situation was extremely critical, and she could only think of so much, so she rushed out, but she didn't expect to meet that person's eyes. Huh? This person's eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but she couldn't be sure.
The leader's knife was about to stab Sun Xiao's heart, but unexpectedly a girl ran out and stood in front of Sun Xiao.
When the man saw Zhao Xihua's face clearly, his body stiffened noticeably and he retracted the knife he had extended. At this time, Uncle Zhong and the others also rushed over.
The best chance to kill Sun Xiao had been missed. Seeing that there was no time to continue fighting, he just whistled and several cars drove over immediately. Everyone got in the cars quickly and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
Sun Xiao was stunned by Zhao Xihua's bold action. He reacted suddenly and pulled Zhao Xihua in front of him.
"Are you hurt?" Sun Xiao was trembling, and the arm he was holding on to Zhao Xihua was also shaking a little.
Zhao Xihua was actually also shocked, but she was also a little confused. The man clearly showed mercy to her, and she didn't know who that man was. Why did he feel so familiar?
She looked at Sun Xiao's nervous expression and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Sun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Xihua's calm expression, but he still held Zhao Xihua's hand and refused to let her break free.
Uncle Zhong and the others gathered in front of Sun Xiao and looked at him nervously, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Sun Xiao's voice turned cold.
"Take your men and search the area thoroughly to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net. If you find any, bring them to..." He glanced at Zhao Xihua, "to the dungeon of the farm."
Uncle Zhong quickly took his men away, but he still left behind many bodyguards for protection. This time the assassin was different from the previous ones, and his actions were particularly bold and ruthless.
Zhao Xihua standing by was still feeling scared. She had never wanted to get involved with these aristocratic families before. She just hoped that she could live a peaceful and stable life in this life, and let the people around her live a safe and smooth life.
I didn't expect that Sun Xiao's health had just improved and he had just started to take back the power of the Sun family, but he immediately met with a fatal disaster. It was really scary.
Seeing that Zhao Xihua's face looked strange, Sun Xiao let go of her hand and said to her with a smile, "I'm really sorry for scaring you. I will come to your house to apologize some other day."
"It's okay," Zhao Xihua also said with a smile: "Young Master is really too polite, it's really okay, otherwise I won't bother you if you have something to do first."
Sun Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart. He was usually so gentle in front of her, but today he suddenly revealed some unknown secrets in front of her, which really scared her.
This girl is afraid of him to begin with, so it seems like I can only appease her slowly over time.
Soon Sun Xiao asked someone to change the car, helped Zhao Xihua into the car, and personally sent her to the villa.
The car quickly arrived at the villa. Pingshui, who had received the news in advance, had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Zhao Xihua getting out of the car, she hurried over and immediately saw the eldest son of the Sun family sitting in the car who was sending his sister back.
I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Sun family would personally send my sister back. Could it be that he really likes my sister? But from the looks of it, he must care about my sister very much.
She didn't dare to say anything, but hurried to support Zhao Xihua. Zhao Xihua didn't dare to keep Sun Xiao to sit in the villa, thinking about the assassination just now, Sun Xiao should have a lot of aftermath things to deal with.
So she said goodbye to Sun Xiao, who nodded knowingly and left quickly. After watching Sun Xiao's car leave, Pingshui tightly grasped Zhao Xihua's arm and said with a choked voice, "Sister, you have suffered."
Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "It's okay. Look, I'm still full of energy now. I'm even a little fatter."
Seeing Zhao Xihua still able to make jokes, Pingshui felt less worried.
She was not very timid to begin with, and Zhao Xihua didn't even dare to tell her that she almost died on the road, otherwise she would be scared to death. The less she knew about these things, the better.
The housekeeper Uncle Lin standing at the side also hurriedly welcomed Zhao Xihua into the house. As soon as she entered the door, Uncle Lin whispered, "Miss, the previous gentleman has been taken away, and this one is left behind. Let the young lady stay."
After Uncle Lin finished speaking, he handed her a square rosewood jewelry box. The packaging of the box looked quite high-end, so it was estimated that the items inside were not ordinary.
Zhao Xihua took the jewelry box, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. By the way, there are two things I need you to do for me. First, go and find out about the Zhao family's situation. Also, go to the street and see if there is a suitable store that can be rented immediately. If there is a suitable one, tell me."
Then he said to Pingshui, "Take the card and withdraw some money for Uncle Lin to use."
Pingshui nodded and walked out quickly. Zhao Xihua had not used the money in the bank card that Sun Xiao had given her before, but he needed it now. After all, it would cost a lot of money to rent a shop to do business.
Uncle Lin understood Zhao Xihua's thoughts. If this matter were to get to the eldest young master, not only would he rent one shop, but all the shops on the entire street would be rented to the fourth young lady.
However, she also knew that Zhao Xihua was unwilling to take advantage of the Sun family. Such an independent and opinionated girl was really rare. He was lucky that he did not follow the wrong person. This fourth young lady would be someone who could achieve great things in the future.
"Uncle Lin, you wait for Pingshui outside first, and don't let anyone into the room." Zhao Xihua walked into the room where Mo Lingtian had slept before. Although Sun Xiao had given her this small villa, it was not her own territory after all, so she still had to be careful.
The bloody smell that had previously permeated the room had dissipated; Pingshui and the servants must have cleaned the place.
She walked to the desk by the window and opened the jewelry box that Mo Lingtian left for her. It was actually the jade necklace. The patterns on each jade bead represented power and status, and the carvings were exceptionally majestic.
Zhao Xihua picked up the necklace and looked at the familiar patterns. She couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect that fate was still operating according to fixed rules. The jade necklace that brought her disaster in her previous life fell into her hands this time.
