Chapter 9 What's Wrong(1/7)
Love is an emotion that requires no reason. It is like a human tears, and you will shed it. And it is a natural phenomenon and there will be no reason.
I am a very ordinary woman. I have no mother since I was a child, and my father is a bastard. I have been used as a tool since I was born. No one in this world will treat me well. Only my destiny is in the hands of others. I can only do what they hope to do so that I can have a chance to survive.
But these days, I feel a different feeling. This feeling comes from the cells in the body. The cells in the body are different from the skin on the surface. They seem to be alive, as if cheering, as if telling me: "Happy! Happy!"
I have never encountered this strange feeling before, but I know that it must be inseparable from my necklace. Perhaps this is the root of all tragedies.
I lay on the bed and quietly recalled the brief hug just now. This hug was very warm and comfortable, which made me a little fascinated. I even wanted to be immersed in it forever and never wake up.
Such gentle and loving eyes, so familiar, but not my father's.
He would not show such an expression to me, he would not hold me in his arms, nor would he kiss the tears on my face with such a gentle movement. Who is that?
This sound caused my heart to stop, and some pictures flashed through my mind. These pictures were very messy. I tried my best to figure out who was in these pictures.
I tried to calm myself down and stop thinking about it anymore.
"Miss, it's time to take medicine."
The shouts of servants came from outside the door, interrupting my thoughts.
I quickly packed up my mind, sat up from the bed, looked at the medicine bowl that was already cold on the table, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all, and then walked out of the room.
I walked down the stairs and the servant immediately bowed his head respectfully to greet him. I waved at her with a smile, signaling her to go down to rest, and she immediately turned and left.
I walked slowly towards the living room, and as soon as I reached the door of the living room, I heard a burst of conversation.
This voice belongs to the second wife.
"How do you think this dress is? I think it's very suitable for Xiaoyue."
The second wife looked very satisfied and said, "You still know the clothes. This clothes look so good when worn by Yue'er."
I looked up and saw that the second lady was wearing a light yellow skirt, with a few white roses embroidered on the hem, setting off her whole temperament.
The second wife is a very beautiful woman. Although she is nearly fifty years old, she is well maintained and looks about forty years old and still has charm.
My eyes were wandering on the second lady. Beside her was a tall beautiful woman. She wore a pink cheongsam and wrapped her delicate body. Her long black hair was tied behind her head and a bun was tied up. Several golden shaking streaks were inserted in her temples, and diamonds were inlaid on her earrings, making her look noble.
My eyes fell on her clothes. This cheongsam looked gorgeous, but it gave people a simple and generous manner without too much embellishment.
I was shocked. This is not the type I like. What I like is the retro style clothes, popular things like cheongsams, and I don’t like them, especially those with identities like Second Lady. Wearing this cheongsam is like a nouveau riche and cannot match her identity at all.
"Mom, do you think this dress will be too simple when worn on Xiaoyue? This dress is very good. I think it suits her temperament very well." The beautiful woman said.
My eyes fell on the beautiful woman again. Although the cheongsam on her body looked inconspicuous, the material was very good. Such material would never be available on the market.
I don't know this beautiful woman, but she is the friend of the second wife, and the second wife is a very smart and smart woman. The friends she makes must be not simple.
I looked at the beautiful woman and suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
The second lady smiled and said, "This dress is indeed suitable for Xiaoyue, but..." She deliberately kept it a secret.
"But what, you should tell me quickly!" The beautiful woman beside the second lady said anxiously.
The second wife frowned slightly and said, "I think Xiaoyue will definitely cause a sensation when wearing this cheongsam."
The beautiful woman was stunned and said, "This is not very good."
The second lady snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong with it? I want to see how many men she can seduce!" She laughed again after saying that.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but tremble. Was she talking about me? Who is this beautiful woman? Why did she appear here?
"How can the second lady say that? Xiaoyue is a girl's family after all, and she shouldn't do such things." The beautiful woman said with a bitter taste.
"Hmph, this stinky girl, she will get married sooner or later. I think I can sell her out sooner or later to save trouble in the future, but..." The second lady changed her mind and laughed again, "This stinky girl actually dares to play tricks with me. Let's see how I deal with her today!"
My face turned pale in an instant, and the second lady was planning to ruin my life.
I quickly turned around and ran away, but unfortunately I was stopped by my servant after just two steps.
"What are you going to do? Let me go!" I shouted.
The servant said expressionlessly: "The master gave his orders. Without his permission, you can't go anywhere."
"What?" my voice raised its octave and I shouted, "Why!"
"Because..." the servant paused and continued, "Because the master is your father, your lifelong event is naturally to obey the master's decision."
The second wife said with a smile: "Yes, I am your father's younger brother's wife, and I am also half of your mother, so I have the right to deal with your lifelong affairs."
"You are the logic of a robber!" I said angrily, "What qualifications do you have to deal with my lifelong affairs? Do you want to sell me out?"
The second lady's face became gloomy and she snorted coldly and said, "I am robber logic? Hahaha, then tell me what is robber logic?"
"You..." I was speechless and I couldn't say anything to refute.
At this time, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Okay, stop arguing, today is a day worth celebrating. We cannot affect our mood today for a small thing."
The second lady looked at the beautiful woman and said with a smile: "You are better off wise, you are worthy of being my sister!"
"Okay, OK, let's try the dress first, otherwise it will be a waste of time again in a while." The beautiful woman urged.
The second lady looked at me with a smile and said, "Yue'er, you are here to attend this banquet, I will treat it as a way to see you off."
I gritted my teeth and said, "I don't need your fake compassion. If you want to sell me, just say, don't pretend to be like this, I won't eat your trick!"
"Bang!" The second lady raised her hand and slapped me. She stared at me viciously and said, "Bitch, I'm giving you a chance to gain insight. See if I don't teach you a lesson!"
She raised her hand and was about to slap me in the face.
"Bang!" One hand held her wrist and stopped her.
"Second Madam, I tell you, I will not marry myself!" I said gritting my teeth.
A ferocious look appeared on the second lady's face. She shook my hand away and cursed: "You don't know your identity. I tell you, even a guy like you want to marry Lin Yun? You're overestimating your ability!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs, you just need to take care of your son," I said.
The second lady's face changed. She glared at me fiercely and said, "Okay! Then wait and see. One day, I will let you know how much weight you are!"
The second lady turned around and left, her back looked very arrogant and domineering.
I watched her leave and turned to look at the beautiful woman.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the woman in front of her who was very beautiful, with a convex figure and a mature and charming aura. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and she looked very enchanting.
I thought to myself, it turns out that this is the beautiful woman mentioned by the second wife. I really can't praise her. She looks far worse than my mother!
The beautiful woman's eyes also fell on me. She frowned slightly, her eyes became deeper, and she asked, "You are Lin Xiaoyue?"
I didn't answer, she chuckled and said, "It's really beautiful."
I couldn't help but shivered. What does she mean? Did she want to...
The beautiful woman saw my fear, she chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, but..." She looked at the necklace on my chest, "This necklace on you is a good thing!"
"What do you want to do?" I asked vigilantly, the beautiful woman's strange smile on her face made people panic.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think this necklace is suitable for you, I think you are very suitable for it."
"What?" I can't believe my ears. She is actually interested in my necklace. How is this possible!
A sly smile flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she said, "Since I like your necklace, please bring it for me!"
I hesitated and said, "No, this is a relic left to me by my mother, and I will not give it to anyone casually."
"Haha, then don't talk about any relics anymore. You are just a maid, a maid who is not even as good as a slave. How can you be qualified to have such a valuable necklace?" the beautiful woman sneered.
"I..." I was a little helpless, "But..."
The beautiful woman interrupted me and said, "Don't, this is your only choice. If you refuse, don't blame me for being rude."
My heart sternly, I looked at her face. The expression of this woman was so terrible, as if she was Hell Shura.
"I...I do!" I said gritting my teeth.
The beautiful woman smiled with satisfaction. She walked up to me, grabbed my hand, picked up my hand, and then took out a red rope to tie it.
"Okay, you change your clothes first, and then go change your dress." said the beautiful woman.
I looked at her and said, "You go out first."
The beautiful woman glanced at me and said with a smile: "Okay, please change slowly, I'll wait for you outside."
After the beautiful woman went out, I felt relieved. She seemed to have some purpose for me.
But, I don’t know her, why did she harm me?
I looked around and found that I was the only one in the room, and my legs had recovered from consciousness.
It seems that she didn't want to kill me to silence me.
I changed into a black strapless tail skirt, and a circle of water-blue ribbons were tied around my waist, which fully outlined my graceful figure.
The skirt is embroidered with exquisite and complex patterns, which looks extremely gorgeous and is valuable at first glance.
I dressed neatly and walked out of the room.
As soon as I reached the door, I met the second wife. The beautiful woman looked at me and couldn't help but exclaim: "Well, it's very beautiful, more beautiful than before."
The second lady looked at her clothes and said, "As long as she is not an ugly girl, it's fine."
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
