Chapter 20
In this way, Lu Ming was hurriedly led out of Xi Wang's room by Aunt Xu. The light in the corridor fell incandescently in her line of sight, and her little head was full of Xi Wang who had just glimpsed it.
The cold white skin is as delicate and white as snow in winter, and it is cold and astringent, with some steaming heat from the bathroom.
Lu Ming couldn't describe how she felt in her heart. She lay on the bed and looked at the illustrations in the book, only thinking that she might never forget seeing this picture tonight.
The next day, the sky was a little gloomy.
Lu Ming woke up from the dream. I don't know if it was the reason why she thought about it day and night. She had a dream last night that made her blush and her heart beat.
In the dream, Xi Wang came out of a pool of steaming hot springs, his body was surrounded by clouds and mist, exactly the same as when he saw it yesterday.
The steam was steaming, and the smell of Xi Wang's body lingered around Lu Ming's body. I don't know if it was because of the heat or other reasons. Lu Ming stood there blankly, only feeling his cheeks were hot.
Then, the heat got hotter and hotter and stuffier.
Xi Wang's cold eyes fell on Lu Ming's body, and the little girl's heart beat faster and faster, as if she was a mortal who deliberately peeped at the goddess' bath.
"I do not have……"
Lu Ming hurriedly opened his eyes and broke free from the dream.
It was gloomy outside the window, and the room without the air conditioner was as stuffy as in a dream.
Lu Ming took a light breath to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, raised his hand and found a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
How can I have such a dream? It's really embarrassing.
"boom!"
There was a sudden loud noise, which frightened Lu Ming, who was already guilty.
The little girl looked around vigilantly, and found that there was nothing unusual in the room, her brows furrowed deeper.
"Squeak-"
There was another sound of dragging a heavy object.
Lu Ming searched for the sound and looked up towards the roof—how could this sound come from upstairs?
She was puzzled, Aunt Xi's study was above her room, and she had never heard such a big commotion in the study on weekdays, what happened today?
Lu Ming instantly remembered the matter of Xi Wang drinking yesterday. Could it be that he was hungover and accidentally fell down in the study?
Thinking of this, Lu Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he opened the door and walked towards the third floor.
It's just that the little girl's feet stopped as soon as she stepped on the stairs leading to the third floor.
The maid who went to the third floor before was dismissed after being seen by Xi Wang. If she trespassed, would she also be...
Thinking of this, Lu Ming wanted to take her foot back, but within a second she hesitated again.
What if Xi Wang was really injured and no one found out.
Lu Ming clenched his hand on the railing of the stairs a few times, but he never took off the foot that was put on it, and walked up a step.
Even if it was a false alarm in the end, she would admit it, she was worried.
Even if there was only one eventuality, she didn't want to let this change go unnoticed.
In this way, Lu Ming boldly went up to the third floor, and there was no sound in the quiet corridor, as if the abnormal movement heard just now did not exist.
Lu Ming walked cautiously towards the location of Xi Wang's study, but saw a light cast from the inside of the house to the corridor, and the bright sunlight filled the section of the road by the door.
The doors of the other rooms on the third floor were all tightly closed, but only the door of this study room was wide open.
Lu Ming felt very strange, she seemed to hear the sound of someone talking.
"Is it this?"
"Yes, that's it. When the old man came that day, I saw him hand it over to the young lady."
……
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, no matter how she heard one of these voices, she sounded like Aunt Wang.
She got a little closer, quietly leaned behind the door and looked into the room, passing through the vase to block her and vaguely saw a person whose figure was very similar to Aunt Wang.
As for the other person, he was wearing earrings and was wearing the clothes of the housemaid.
However, there are not many male servants at home, after getting along for a month, Lu Ming has almost recognized him, and she can be sure that he has never seen this person at home.
While Lu Ming was carefully looking at the man she didn't know, the man also looked behind him in a strange way.
Those fierce eyes were nailed to Lu Ming's body suddenly, the little girl felt that she was frozen from head to toe, holding on to the door frame and not daring to move.
"Who are you?!"
The man's angry voice attracted Aunt Wang's attention, she hurriedly turned her head, and found that it was Luming, with an unpredictable expression on her face.
"It's the child brought back by Miss to raise at home." Aunt Wang said and brought Lu Ming over.
"She won't talk nonsense, right?" the man looked at Lu Ming and asked angrily.
"Of course not." As Aunt Wang said, she put Lu Ming behind her to protect her. Only then did Lu Ming clearly see how messy Xi Wang's study was.
Aunt Wang didn't know why she brought this man into Xi's house, and turned the study into a mess, with the chairs reclined or crooked, and even the photo-framed vase on one side of the cabinet was broken.
Aunt Wang: "Go with Aunt Wang later, okay?"
Lu Ming didn't understand what Aunt Wang said, why did she take him away?Where are you taking yourself?
But these are not important, the important thing is...
"Will you still send me back to Xi's house?" Lu Ming asked.
This is what she cares about most.
"Don't you want to go with Aunt Wang? Wouldn't it be good to let Aunt Wang take care of you in the future?" Aunt Wang asked.
Aunt Wang's evasion and other words let Lu Ming know that if she leaves with Aunt Wang, she will definitely not come back.
At the beginning, her mother asked her the same way, so she followed her to Lu's house in a daze, and became the nominal daughter of Lu Changjun.
"This is the girl you said you were going to take away? Does she seem unwilling to go with you?" The man weighed the things in his hand and said disdainfully.
"No, I want to take her back." Aunt Wang smiled apologetically, held Lu Ming's shoulders, and said, "Miss Xiaolu, you must follow me. Only by following me can you live a good life Now that the Liu family has got this, the miss is finished, and you will have to live the life of the Lu family again, do you want to live that kind of life?"
Listening to Aunt Wang's words, Lu Ming felt his heart skip a beat, his eyes trembled involuntarily.
She was not afraid because she would not have a good life in the future, but because she had always trusted Aunt Wang but betrayed Aunt Xi.
It's no wonder that she is not at Xi's house when she asks for leave more and more frequently for family affairs, and it's no wonder that she's becoming less and less concerned about things recently.
No wonder she said that when she saw her for the first time.
No wonder, the first time I saw her, I felt that this person had a bad orientation.
Aunt Wang was so concealed that even Xi Wang was deceived.
"Let's go, Aunt Wang will treat you well in the future." Aunt Wang held Lu Ming's hand as she spoke, but Lu Ming stood still.
She didn't want to live a so-called good life with Aunt Wang.
Even if Xi Wang is in decline, she will follow her. She is not the kind of person who only shares joys and sorrows.
"Are you still going? Didn't you say that the servants will come to clean up in a while?" The man was a little impatient, and knocked on the table with the things in his hand.
Lu Ming looked at the thing in the man's hand, and guessed that it was the "this" that Aunt Wang said, and it was the thing that could make Xi forget to death.
If she can get this thing back, Xi Wang will not lose.
The little girl secretly made a decision in her heart, and lifted her foot under another persuasion from Aunt Wang.
Dark clouds pressed down on the sky, and the sun was blocked behind, barely revealing some light to illuminate the land.
Aunt Wang brought this man here after calculating the right time. There was not a single servant in the main house. Lu Ming looked at the silver-gray Mercedes parked at the door, and realized that the man in front of him seemed not ordinary either. .
"I really didn't expect you to stay in this house for so long." The man started the car as he spoke, and used the small manor of Xi's family.
"If it wasn't for Madam, I wouldn't have stayed in this house." Sitting in the back row, Aunt Wang said with a bit of resentment in her tone.
Man: "This little emperor is not easy to serve, not to mention that he doesn't have much affection with his aunt."
Aunt Wang: "She is also too unfeeling. Madam has been away for a long time, and she has made great reforms in the company. The direction of development is completely opposite to the direction Madam originally planned. This makes no one feel chilled."
"This person can't get along with each other. He is so cruel that he won't let his own family members go. If he makes a small mistake, he will be kicked out. Do you think I can stay here for a long time? Can I stay at ease?"
……
Lu Ming obediently sat beside Aunt Wang, silently listening to her conversation with the man, and his dissatisfaction and disgust towards her piled up layer after layer.
She never thought that Aunt Wang, who seemed the most kind-hearted in the family, would say such ungrateful words, and her usual kindness and kindness were suddenly removed by her, and the gaps in the loose skin were filled with love for Xi Wang. Hostility and viciousness.
Lu Ming turned his head to watch the people who kept retreating into the house, the layers of greenery were particularly depressing in this dim environment.
She looked at the Xi's Manor, which she could no longer see, pursed her lower lip and said, "Aunt Wang, can I call Aunt Xi to say goodbye."
"No!" Before Aunt Wang could answer, the man sternly scolded her.
Lu Ming forcibly suppressed the anxiety and fear in his heart, and whispered: "I don't talk nonsense, I just want to tell her that I'm leaving, thank her for taking care of her these days, and I won't trouble her in the future."
The little girl's appearance was very deceptive, her big watery eyes looked obediently at the man who was driving through the rearview mirror, and the curse words from the man's mouth were swallowed.
Seeing that the man hesitated, Lu Ming added: "Really, I just want to say goodbye and say thank you."
The man couldn't stand the gaze of the little girl's eyes, and did something he would regret all his life: "Then do you have a mobile phone yourself?"
"Yes." Lu Ming nodded, and took out her broken mobile phone from her pocket.
"I'll give you just one minute, and I'll throw you out of the car if it's too long!" The man agreed, not forgetting to threaten him.
"En." Lu Ming bit his lip, nodded, and dialed Xi Wang's number.
The sun gradually set, and the dark clouds that had been gloomy for a day never receded from the sky.
Xi Wang finished processing a document, relieved the strength from his shoulders and neck, leaned back on the chair with his eyes slightly squinted, and took a short rest.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Anji's office, and a lady secretary respectfully pushed open Xi Wang's office door.
"Mr. Xi, the number of the Public Security Bureau."
The cold white skin is as delicate and white as snow in winter, and it is cold and astringent, with some steaming heat from the bathroom.
Lu Ming couldn't describe how she felt in her heart. She lay on the bed and looked at the illustrations in the book, only thinking that she might never forget seeing this picture tonight.
