Banxia tilted her head and looked at me. She probed, âAt least, Mrs. Ma Ji was never angry with you. Sheâs always gentle and coaxing you. Sheâs also kind to us and never shouts at us. But Miss Mai Qi is different. This is Missâ house, but she is acting like she is the mistress. Miss, that is too much, right?â
I smiled faintly. âSheâs my little aunt, but Ma Ji isnât. Sheâs just my eldest uncleâs woman, so their attitudes towards us are different. Mai Qi has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I quite like her.â
I made my position clear.
Banxia shook my hand. âMy Good Miss, donât be deceived by their beautiful appearance! I donât think she cares about you at all! She only cares about who will own this place in the future!â
Her tone was indignant.
I thought about it. âYou meanâ¦â
Her eyes lit up. âMiss, I donât think theyâre good people. Why donât we call Lu Heng and leave this place together? They said that they were good friends with you in the past, but you donât have any memory of it. This means that they can say anything they want. Do they think weâre stupid?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I nodded. âBut where are we going?â
Banxia immediately said, âWeâre going to look for Mrs. Ma Ji. Didnât you say theyâre still alive? Letâs go look for them. Sir and Madam even said they wanted to look for a boyfriend for you! Compared to these two, Sir and Madam are more reliable!â
Banxiaâs expression was very serious.
âBut how can we find them?â I looked at Banxia seriously.
Banxia said proudly, âWhatâs so difficult about that? We can go to the beach and fire the signal flares we brought from the island every night. Madam Ma Ji will see them eventually. She said the flares are unique to her island, so she wonât mistake them.â
I looked at her elated face and asked, âBut, how do you know about the signal flares?â
Banxia replied without hesitation, âOn the night we escaped, I saw with my own eyes the Sea Wolves loading a lot of them into the cabin, Didnât they do this so that one day they could get in touch with Madam Ma Ji?â
I felt a dull pain in my heart.
âWhoâs keeping the signal flare now?â I asked Banxia.
âIâs on our ship. After we went ashore, the ship was docked. Sea Wolves didnât bring the signal flares to shore. Theyâre still there. I went to take a look.â Banxia looked mysterious.
âWhy didnât they bring the signal flares to shore? Whoâs in charge of this?â I asked Banxia.
âOf course, itâs Lu Heng. I donât think heâll mind us using them. In order to not draw attention, we can set off fireworks to cover up the signal flare!â Banxia completed her plan.
âBanxia, youâre so smart,â I praised her.
Banxia was very happy. âMiss, youâre different from the new arrivals! Weâre not from the same world as them.â
Banxia pulled my hand and pressed it against her face. She looked intoxicated.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on my palm.
âBanxia, donât you like this place?â I looked at her thick hair and asked softly.
Banxia raised her head. âI do, but there are so many new people here. I donât like them. I donât like any of them! Miss, Letâs go to a place that will make us happy!â
âBanxia, why donât you go by yourself? I donât really want to leave this place,â I suddenly said.
Banxiaâs expression changed.. âMiss, that wonât do!â
