Chapter 892: The 90s (2)
Jian Xi’s att.i.tude got worse. However, her health was deteriorating too so her parents couldn’t do much to her.
They didn’t know why Jian Xi became like this.
One time, Jian Xi came to find Li Meng alone. She told Li Meng calmly that she saw everything that day.
This was the first time Li Meng heard her talking about the matter so nonchalantly.
She had a bad feeling. She started to quarrel with Jian Xi and pushed her.
Jian Xi fell down from her wheelchair and hit her head against the stairs. She died on the spot.
Li Meng got a shock. Luckily, there was no one around so she disguised the crime scene and made it look as though it was an accident. She wiped off her fingerprints and left hurriedly.
The police came and regarded this incident as an accident due to Jian Xi’s health condition.
Li Meng accompanied Jian Xi’s parents during this entire period of time.
In order to compensate Li Meng, they recognized her as their G.o.ddaughter after Jian Xi’s funeral.
This was exactly what Li Meng wanted. She hesitated and then agreed to their request.
After that, Li Meng was brought to the city by Jian Xi’s parents and studied at university there. She became an educated lady with a wealthy family background. She started dating Jian Xi’s older brother too.
When she was sold to the brothel in her past life, she heard many pieces of news. This news allowed her to help Jian Xi’s older brother in his business.
Jian Xi must be the most pitiful villain.
The timeline now was when Jian Xi had already known Li Meng for a period of time.
She got sick this time because of Li Meng too.
Li Meng brought her out to look at the stars in the middle of the night. It was cold at night so Jian Xi caught a flu and had a fever the next day.
[Jian Xi’s wish is to go to school like the rest of her peers. She also doesn’t want Li Meng to get together with her older brother.]
The Harmony System immediately went offline after that.
If it didn’t run away now, Ming Shu would definitely scold it.
“Little Xi?”
A head popped out at the window. The person had two pigtails and her skin was a little dark. She was a pretty little girl.
This person was Li Meng.
“Little Xi, I’m sorry.” Li Meng leaned against the window and said with remorse on her face, “I don’t know that you would become sick. Are you feeling better?”
“I don’t plan to forgive you.” Ming Shu closed her lips and smiled.
Li Meng thought that the girl was kidding as she was smiling. “Little Xi, I’m really sorry. Please forgive me. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I don’t want to forgive you.”
“Little Xi, I will come and find you tomorrow.” Li Meng looked out and saw someone coming. She hurriedly said, “I will leave now. Don’t be angry at me.”
Ming Shu: “…” I thought I said that I will not forgive you! Are you deaf?!
If I had energy now, I would drag her in and give her a beating.
Squeak…
The door opened and a lady younger than Aunt Gui came in. “Young Miss, are you feeling better?”
Aunt Gui and this lady were the ones taking care of the Host.
Aunt Gui had been serving the Jian family for a long time. This lady, on the other hand, came from the village. She was called Little Li.
“Why did Li Meng bring you out to watch the stars?” Little Li looked at Ming Shu cautiously. “Young Miss, I know that you want a friend, but you should be careful of Li Meng.
“Yes.”
Little Li was slightly shocked. She reminded her Young Miss to watch out for Li Meng when they first met each other.
Li Meng would not do anything without a reason. She would never believe that Li Meng looked for Young Miss without any motive at all.
However, Young Miss didn’t listen to her and even scolded her.
She didn’t expect Young Miss to listen to her today.
“Little Li, I want to call my family.” Ming Shu smiled at Little Li.
The girl lying on the bed had fair skin. She looked sick but when she smiled, it made people’s heart flutter. She was like a lily flower blooming at dawn.
Little Li thought about it for a while. “If you want to make a call, we have to go to the village head’s house. Your health is not good so you can’t go out anymore. You can tell me what you want to say. I will ask Aunt Gui to talk to your family.”
Little Li was like the butler here. She didn’t have the right to call the Jian family. Only Aunt Gui could do it.
“I want to make the call myself.”
“This…” Little Li was hesitant.
Little Li pondered for a long time. She understood how much this girl missed her family. She was sick and had to live here alone. Aunt Gui couldn’t be found, either.
She sighed and helped Ming Shu put on her clothes. Then, she placed a cloak over her and brought her to the village head’s house.
…
“Where did you take Young Miss?”
When Little Li came back, Aunt Gui stopped them at the door.
“Young Miss is still sick. If something happens to her, who will be responsible?”
Aunt Gui had her hands on her hips. She had a sarcastic look on her face as she scolded Little Li.
“Aunt Gui…”
“If you don’t want this job, there are other people who are willing to do it.”
Little Li wanted to speak but was interrupted by Aunt Gui every time.
“Aunt Gui, are you the owner of the house or am I the owner of the house?”
Ming Shu stood outside for so long, but Aunt Gui just blocked the door like she was the owner of the house and scolded Little Li. She totally ignored Ming Shu.
Aunt Gui heard Ming Shu’s voice and her heart jumped. “Young Miss, what are you saying? I was just really angry. You are still sick. How can she take you out?”
“Are you not going to let me in then?” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled gently. “How long are you going to block the door?”
Aunt Gui’s expression changed but she recovered quickly. She said in concern, “I was too angry. Please come in, Young Miss. Don’t catch a cold again.”
She reached out and made to hold Ming Shu.
Ming Shu tilted her body slightly and walked in herself.
Aunt Gui’s hand was left in the air. She frowned and looked at Little Li fiercely.
Little Li lowered her head. She didn’t dare to say anything.
Aunt Gui shouted, “Young Miss, be careful.”
The Jian family’s house had three buildings. It was renovated before so the materials used for the house were carefully chosen. If this house was in the city, it would be worth a lot of money too.
The room that Ming Shu stayed in was the best room in the house. Aunt Gui wanted to enter the room with Ming Shu, but Ming Shu stopped her.
“Aunt Gui, go and make some food for me. I want to eat braised meat, sweet and sour pork, lily meatb.a.l.l.s, fried chicken…”
Ming Shu ordered more than ten dishes. Aunt Gui stood outside the door in a daze.
“Young Miss… can you finish so much food?” Aunt Gui muttered, “You have not recovered yet. If you eat so much oily food now, you will get even worse. The doctor said that you should eat lighter meals.”
Aunt Gui looked at the sky and hesitated. “There are not a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen too…”
“My parents just sent someone over yesterday to deliver the ingredients. Aunt Gui, do you think that I don’t know about that?!”
Jian Xi’s parents always sent people over to bring her food and other things. They treated their daughter very well and always gave her the best food so that she could get better.
Aunt Gui’s expression completely changed this time.
Little Li must have told Young Miss something.
Aunt Gui laughed awkwardly. “I’m thinking of your health too. Since you want to eat these foods, I’ll make them for you.”
