“What do you mean?” Huo Chulan’s face was a little pale. Perhaps she had realized that Xing Jiuan knew something, but her eyes were filled with fear. She did not even dare to look at Xing Jiuan’s face.
“What do I mean?” Xing Jiuan repeated her words, seemingly finding them very meaningless. She sneered. “You should understand what I mean.”
“Wu Lin is no longer yours. Are you happy?”
Actually, Xing Jiuan had wanted to ask her if she was happy that Wu Lin was no longer her dog.
In her previous life, Wu Lin was loyal and obedient to Huo Chulan. Perhaps even a dog could not compare to his loyalty!
It was funny. The Wu family was not a small family. Although they were not as powerful as the Huo family, they were still considered an upper-class family in the capital.
Who would have thought that Wu Lin, who had been designated as the heir, would actually do such a thing?
This was the first time Wu Lin had attacked her.
At that time, she was still at the Huo family. Perhaps because she felt that she was still a member of the Huo family, he had caused her to be an embarrassment and provocation to the Huo family. The Huo family had given the Wu family some punishment, and the Wu family could not recover for a period of time.
She did not expect Wu Lin to never change…
Xing Jiuan had once said a few words to a lady. That lady used to like Wu Lin very much and the two families had also discussed their marriage. However, Wu Lin had done embarrassing things time and time again, making the other party more and more disappointed in him…
That lady had once told her that when Wu Lin saw Huo Chulan, he was like a hungry wild dog that had seen a piece of meat bone.
To be able to make a girl with an excellent upbringing say such words, he must have really angered her.
That lady had also advised Xing Jiuan.
She said that the Huo family’s treatment of Huo Chulan was too abnormal. Before she appeared, they were actually not that good. Furthermore, not many people liked Huo Chulan in the past. It was just that it was very sudden. For some reason, Huo Chulan seemed to have become the darling of a wealthy family overnight. She had also become the most stunning daughter of a wealthy family in high society.
She had also said that if she did not have a grudge against Huo Chulan, she might have been attracted to her.
It was very sudden and inexplicable. Huo Chulan seemed to have an additional charm that attracted countless people, causing countless people to rush forward and protect her.
It was as if they were all blind.
At that time, Xing Jiuan had not thought too much about it. She could not think of anything that was too extraordinary.
That lady was about to start her new life, and Xing Jiuan had given her her blessings.
However, in less than half a month, Xing Jiuan heard that she had passed away.
Her sudden departure was completely unexpected.
If it had been an accident, Xing Jiuan might not have thought too much about it. However, the other party’s family claimed that she had died of illness.
Xing Jiuan had also gotten someone to investigate and confirmed that she had died of illness.
But how was that possible?
She loved sports, lived a regular life, and did not even touch cigarettes or alcohol. She would check on all her health regularly. How could this be…
After thinking about it, there was only Huo Chulan.
Xing Jiuan did not expect that Wu Lin in this life seemed to not be the same person as in her previous life. Apart from being surprised, she could not help but want to see Huo Chulan’s expression with her own eyes.
Her most loyal dog, the man who had betrayed his fiancée, carried the black kettle for her, disappointed his family, and killed someone for her…
There was no one else so loyal!
Huo Chulan looked at Xing Jiuan’s expression and indeed, she was filled with displeasure and anger.
“You did it?”
“Did you tell Wu Lin to stay away from me?”
“Who are you to do so?”
She wanted to stand up angrily, but Xing Jiuan stretched out her leg and the tip of her foot landed on her knee.
“Don’t move.” Her voice was cold, and her eyes surged with exceptionally complicated emotions. It was as if she had seen something damned, but she could not make a move. She could only suppress her emotions as the aura around her was extremely oppressive.
Huo Chulan was suddenly so frightened that she did not dare to move.
In fact, she didn’t even dare to move her knee lest it makes a sound.
“What are you trying to do?” Huo Chulan asked with a trembling voice.
If someone who liked her saw her like this, their heart would definitely ache.
Unfortunately, the person she met was Xing Jiuan. The more uncomfortable she was, the happier Xing Jiuan would be.
“I…” Xing Jiuan chuckled. “I just want you to be unhappy. I want you to achieve nothing and lose your reputation…”
“I’ll let you experience everything I’ve experienced.”
“I also want to leave you deep in the mountains and accompany the wild beasts for a week. If you can survive, we can continue our next step…”
“Huo Chulan, what do you think?”
“You… you’re breaking the law.”
“Huo Chulan, don’t keep saying that it’s illegal. If I can let you out, do you dare to sue me?”
“Or should I bring you along? I’ll say my story and you’ll say yours. How about that?”
“Have you thought about it?” Xing Jiuan retracted her leg and played with her fingers. She said casually, “Actually, I can do both.”
“Why don’t we go now? I won’t waste any more time.”
“I originally wondered what kind of person you were…” Xing Jiuan sighed. “I suddenly realized that I had wasted too much time on you.”
“It’s quite meaningless.”
“After all, you’re not worthy.”
“Am I right, Huo Chulan?”
“Were you behind Wu Lin’s matter?” Huo Chulan wanted an answer to this matter.
She had always felt that Wu Lin was the most useful person. From two years ago, Wu Lin had a good impression of her. When she was 18, he had even given her a very precious necklace.
In the past, there was only Wu Lin who treated her wholeheartedly. If Wu Lin left her, she would be in trouble.
Although she did not like Wu Lin and did not think much of him.
However, wasn’t it better to have one more person helping her and standing by her side?!
“Is he worthy?” Xing Jiuan’s tone was very disdainful.
Xing Jiuan suddenly stood up and walked in front of Huo Chulan. When she lowered her eyes to look at her, her aura seemed to have become stronger.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed something. She looked up and stared at her coldly.
With a bang, the binoculars fell off. The man standing there did not react for a while.
“What’s wrong?” the person beside him asked.
The man seemed to have just reacted. He touched his forehead and broke out in cold sweat.
“She, she, she…” He was speechless for a long time.
“What’s wrong?” His companion came over curiously.
“What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?”
The man did not know what was wrong with him either. He recalled the Xing Jiuan he had just seen. The girl’s eyes were deep and cold, like a devil that had walked out of the abyss of hell. Just one look from her was enough to make him panic.. Not only had his binoculars failed, but he also felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell.
