Chapter 1810 - 1810 Old Liang Family Residence, Fang Yu’s Lingering Fear
1810 Old Liang Family Residence, Fang Yu’s Lingering Fear
After sending everyone off, Qi Hao closed the door and returned to the living room. He saw his sister-in-law looking at him deeply, which scared him witless.
His sister-in-law said, “Do you like Film Empress Song a lot?”
As soon as Qi Hao heard his sister-in-law mention Song Yanru, he immediately felt guilty. His sister-in-law was probably angry because he had almost switched rooms just now. He hurriedly shook his head. “No, no… Sister-in-law.”
“It’s fine as long as you don’t. Haozi, it’s fine as long as you know that no one’s life is more important than your own. Don’t think that they’re naive. How many naive fools can there be in this circle?” Chi Shuyan stopped there and didn’t say more to embarra.s.s Haozi. After saying that, she told him to stay in the room, and she went out first.
“Sister-in-law, where are you going?” Qi Hao hurriedly asked.
!!
“I’m going for a walk; you be good and stay here.”
“I will, I will!” Qi Hao replied hurriedly. He thought of what happened in the morning and didn’t dare disobey. After his sister-in-law went out, he looked away and sat on the couch to seriously reflect on himself.
He hadn’t thought much of it before, but Lu Ningwen was indeed right earlier: If Qi Hao had really agreed just now, switching rooms would have been easy, but switching back would have been difficult.
Moreover, as his sister-in-law said, how naive and sweet could a woman in this circle be? She might look weak on the surface, but she was very shrewd. He would really be a fool if he had agreed. After all, he only had one life. He didn’t want to make the same mistake as He Liuqing and Zhou Chengfei. Thinking of what happened to the two of them, his hair stood on end. It was the safest and most rea.s.suring to stay by his sister-in-law’s side.
In the future, he would stay as far away from that Song woman as possible. This woman was quite amazing; she had clearly plotted against him, yet he could still feel guilty. Fortunately, someone had tipped him off. How could he not understand her scheme after he came back to his senses?
Previously, he had thought that Film Empress Song was really kind and beautiful. Now that he thought about it, she really wasn’t simple; it was just that he was stupid.
Qi Hao didn’t have a good impression of anyone who schemed against him.
Thinking this, Qi Hao’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He wouldn’t let off anyone who dragged his sister-in-law down.
After mulling over things, Qi Hao relaxed. He was about to get up and take a shower, when he heard a commotion outside the door. He listened carefully: It sounded like Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu arguing with someone.
After confirming that Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were involved, he couldn’t sit still in the room. He hurriedly pulled open the door and saw Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu arguing with that Du guy.
Everyone’s faces were flushed red.
He only heard Lu Ningwen stress, “Brother Du, I’ve been staying in this room since the beginning, and I won’t get used to staying anywhere else. Besides, you were the one who wanted to change rooms back then. For everyone’s sake, I didn’t quibble at that time. This room is mine now. Why should I change rooms now? Even if you want to bully someone, you shouldn’t bully them like this.”
Du Zhong did have selfish motives and wanted to change rooms. Who asked this room to be the closest to Celestial Master Chi? It was definitely safe. His thoughts were beautiful, but the other party wasn’t stupid, and Du Zhong didn’t get what he wanted. He was so angry that his face flushed red and turned green. He still wanted to insist, but Lu Ningwen didn’t give him the slightest chance.
He couldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h the room back even if he wanted to; Lu Ningwen had the room key. Du Zhong’s intestines turned green with regret at switching rooms back then. Under the other party’s forceful att.i.tude, he could only leave indignantly.
Even as he left, Du Zhong looked at Lu Ningwen with hatred in his eyes, as if someone had dug up the graves of eighteen generations of his ancestors. Lu Ningwen’s heart trembled and he felt a little uneasy.
Qi Hao also saw the hatred in Du Zhong’s eyes when he looked at Lu Ningwen as he left. He couldn’t help but remind Lu Ningwen, “You better be careful of this Du guy for the next few days. I’m afraid he doesn’t have good intentions.”
At the burial mounds, he had seen how people could viciously screw others over when their own lives were at stake – Si Yinghua and that woman, Chen Bing, had both acted ruthlessly and selfishly in order to save themselves.
It was best not to offend despicable people like that – who knew how they would screw you over in the future? If you did offend them, it was best to be more wary of them.
Qi Hao recounted his experience at the burial mounds, and Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were so scared that their legs almost turned to jelly.
“This… this isn’t the first time you’ve encountered… this sort of thing?” Fang Yu couldn’t help but ask.
Qi Hao shook his head and talked about what he had experienced back then, then bragged about his sister-in-law in all sorts of ways. He patted their shoulders and said, “Don’t worry, with my sister-in-law around, we’ll definitely be able to get out. My sister-in-law is the best at dealing with such things. No matter how strong something is, it can’t escape her grasp.”
After listening to Qi Hao, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s faces grew paler and they couldn’t help but tremble. It wasn’t until they heard him comfort them and brag about Celestial Master Chi that their faces softened a lot. It was just that this was the first time they had encountered something like this, and they felt very uneasy.
Fang Yu recalled how Zhou Chengfei had inexplicably invited him to his room for a chat. Fortunately, Xiao Ying had suddenly appeared. Wait, Xiao Ying had suddenly disappeared after a night with Zhou Chengfei. Back then, Fang Yu had also discovered many strange eggs in Zhou Chengfei’s room.
Although he had been afraid at that time, he hadn’t dared to think too much about it. Moreover, how could he have known how terrifying and strange this world could be? Thinking of Zhou Chengfei’s death that morning, it could be said that he was already no longer human at that point – maybe he already wasn’t human when he invited Fang Yu to his room.
Fang Yu now vaguely understood that Xiao Ying had probably been his replacement. Thinking this, his limbs trembled and his face turned blue. He had gooseb.u.mps all over his body and was covered in cold sweat. His face grew paler and he heaved a little. Qi Hao saw his strange behavior and hurriedly supported him. “Fang Yu, you… what’s wrong?”
