Chapter 1569 The chill all over her body
The atmosphere outside was different from the one inside the ice cellar. Meng Family Head didn’t leave but stayed outside the ice cellar. He talked to the tall and st.u.r.dy man at the stone door with a smile. “How should I address you?”Guan Xilin, guarding the stone door as if he’s the door G.o.d, took a glance at him and answered, “My surname is Guan.”
“Oh, so you’re Brother Guan.” Meng Family Head nodded. With a smile, he said, “I see that Young Master Feng trusts you very much. Are you close to Young Master Feng?”
Guan Xilin smiled. Knowing that he was trying to have a small talk, Guan Xilin could only reply. “Yes. I’m definitely close to him. My responsibility is to protect his safety.”
“I see.” Meng Family Head looked at him. “But, from Brother Guan’s imposing manner, you don’t look like an ordinary guard. I a.s.sume you must have an impressive background.”
“Hahaha, Meng Family Head is mistaken. In fact, I’m just a mercenary who makes a living away from home. I’m not that remarkable.” Guan Xilin laughed loudly and chatted with him for a while, just to pa.s.s the time.
In another place, while Feng Jiu was not in the City Lord Manor, Duan Linlin ran to Duan Yingying’s courtyard. After searching everywhere, she found the biological sister with the spitting image of her was in the kitchen.
She came up angrily, pulled her and took her outside and flung her away with force. She shouted with resentment. “Let me ask you, how did that young man in red live in the same yard as you? Don’t forget that you are a deaf-mute. You can’t afford to offend such a person! ”
Duan Yingying stared at her and listened to her sister’s words. She couldn’t help bowing her head and stood there at a loss.
“Yes, how can I forget that you are a deaf-mute? It’s a wonder if you can hear me! Scolding you is a waste of breath and effort!” She snorted, glared at her and turned around to leave.
Duan Yingying lifted her head to look at her sister leaving in a rage. She restrained her gaze sadly and returned to the kitchen to cook.
She had never wanted to be compared with others. Living in this courtyard, she suffered loneliness alone. Even if she was unhappy, she would show a smiling face. She had always lived alone in this courtyard.
In this family, the only one who could make her happy and concerned was her big brother who could only come back once or twice a year. As for other people, she had already known that they all regarded her as transparent and did not like her existence, did they?
On the contrary, Feng Jiu was just a pa.s.ser-by, but she was so kind to her. Not only did she cure her deaf-mute disease but also taught her to see people clearly. As that Big Brother Guan said, she was lucky. It was due to her luck that she was able to meet Feng Jiu, the person who changed her life.
In the afternoon, the stone door of the Meng clan’s ice cellar finally opened from the inside. The first person who came out was Feng Jiu in her red robe. She looked the same but with a touch of fatigue between her eyebrows.
“Is it done? Are you tired? If so, go back and have a rest.” Guan Xilin was the first to greet Feng Jiu. As soon as he approached, he sensed the chill all over her body and frowned.
“There’s a heavy chill on your body.” As he said that, he looked at the Meng Family Head. “Meng Family Head, please have someone check if the ginger soup that was boiled earlier is ready.”
“Yes. I’ll send someone to the kitchen right away. It should be alright.” He told the person around him to go to the kitchen.
Feng Jiu waved her hand. “It’s fine. We’re not in a rush.”
