Ming Shu walked back to the long table under the servantsâ weird gazes and continued to eat.
The butler stared at her for a few seconds.
âWhat are you doing, send her back!â
The butler did not think much of it. She was a lot stronger when the illness came.
He thought she was under the attack of the mental illness again.
Standing at the long table, Ming Shu raised her head slightly and looked at the servants approaching.
She smiled faintly.
âThe owner of this villa seems to be me, doesnât it?â
The servants here were all hired later, and they only knew that the Host was Mr. Shuâs niece.
Of course they didnât know anything else. Hearing Ming Shu say something like this now, most of them still believed that she was just crazy.
The owner of the villa was clearly Mr. Shu.
But the butler knew everything.
What she said was the truth.
She was the villaâs master.
Shu Ran.
The butler looked at Ming Shu with some fear. Was her mental condition okay now?
But it didnât look like...
She was smiling so weirdly!
Was she getting worse?
The butler thought it was most likely that, so he gestured at the servants and said, âGet her upstairs quickly.â
The servants who had paused just now came forward again.
These servants were easy to handle, but the Hostâs body was just too weak.
Ming Shu took away the big cake on the long table.
She might as well eat her fill, then handle these people.
I am ashamed that I donât have the strength to pretend to be the big boss.
The butler was shocked by Ming Shu after she knocked three servants down neatly, and he watched Ming Shu take the cake away.
âBut... Butler...â one of the servants called timidly.
The butler came back to himself and ordered, âGo see if sheâs gone upstairs. If so, lock the door and donât let her come out again.â
...
After finishing the cake, Ming Shu sat on the bed and thought for a while. When she finished, it was dark outside.
She could see the lights and hear the noises outside the window.
Ming Shu took out the cell phone she had just stolen.
Because hers had long been taken away.
There was only one clock in her room, a grandfather clock... No electronics could be found in the room.
Ming Shu leaned against the window and tried to unlock the phone.
Without tools, however, she couldnât figure out what the owner had set the password to.
âHarmony System, itâs time to show your true skills.â
[...]
The phoneâs screen flashed to the home page.
Ming Shu took out an old notebook from under the bed, opened it, and found a number.
She dialed the number.
It took the other end a while to answer it.
âHello, who is it?â
âLawyer Jiang, Iâm Shu Ran.â Ming Shu casually flipped through the notebook. âCould you please come over?â
âMiss Shu Ran?â Lawyer Jiang was surprised. âYou...â
Lawyer Jiang was a lawyer who had a good relationship with the Hostâs parents. He helped them with their papers.
And Shu Ranâs parents also told her that she could trust Lawyer Jiang.
Lawyer Jiang had visited her before and seemed to want to ascertain her condition.
He also brought a doctor with him, but by that time, the Host was already ill. So the doctorâs answer, of course, was that she did indeed suffer from mental illness.
Later, Lawyer Jiang never saw her again because her illness worsened.
The Host had wanted to contact him, but she couldnât get out of the villa. She also had no communication tools, so there was no way for her to reach him.
Lawyer Jiang probably thought she was really crazy.
But now, in her normal voice, she called him.
Lawyer Jiangâs tone became a little serious. âYou want to meet me now?â
âYes, right now. Is it convenient for you?â
âOkay, Iâll be there in an hour.â There were some noises; Lawyer Jiang seemed to have gotten up and gone out.
âBring some people with you, as many as possible,â Ming Shu said slowly. âThere might be a fight later, we canât lose momentum.â
Lawyer Jiang: â...â
He was a lawyer...
She needed him to fight?!
Lawyer Jiang was a little suspicious at heart. Has she gotten back to normal or not?
Without waiting for him to ask further, Ming Shu had already hung up.
Ming Shu closed the notebook and looked toward the pool.
She was not trying to avenge the Host. But now that she was going to live here, she naturally had to clean up some of the mess so it wouldnât disturb her eating.
Ming Shu stood for a while, then turned to open the wardrobe.
The clothes in the wardrobe looked a little old, and they were obviously too small for her.
These were probably clothes from two years ago...
And according to the Hostâs memory, these clothes were the ones that Shu Xue didnât want.
Ming Shu took a dress from Little Beastieâs space and changed into it.
She combed her hair with her fingers casually and prepared to go downstairs.
The door was unlocked, but the door at the stairs on the fourth floor was locked again.
Ming Shu unlocked the door and went down. The third floor was empty. On the second floor stood several young girls.
Seeing Ming Shu coming down from the third floor with a strange face, they stopped talking.
After looking at her for a moment, they began to talk in whispers again.
âWho is she? â
âI donât know... Xueâerâs friend?â
âI donât think so. Didnât Xueâer only invite our classmates?â
âShe looks a little pale...â
The girlsâ voices were not loud, but the corridor was quiet, so the conversation carried to Ming Shuâs ears.
Squeakâ
The next door was opened.
âIâve changed them. Letâs go...â
The girl in the princess dress came out and saw Ming Shu. Her beautiful eyes slightly widened, and she subconsciously asked, âWhat are you doing down here? How did you get down?â
âI walked down with my feet. Canât you see?â
Ming Shu smiled slightly; she looked a little different from the way Shu Xue had seen her in recent years.
Her smile...
It made her feel uncomfortable.
Shu Xue frowned slightly. âWho opened the door for you?â
âWhy do I need someone to open the door for me? Canât I open it by myself?â
âXueâer, who is she?â several young girls asked.
Shu Xue remembered that there were other people around.
She said hurriedly, âWhy donât you go down and play for a while. Iâll see you later.â
The girls looked at each other suspiciously.
They were obviously curious about Ming Shuâs identity.
Shu Xue drove them away, then glared at Ming Shu with malicious eyes. âYou madwoman, just wait.â
Ming Shu gave her a gentle smile.
She lifted her foot and began to walk downstairs.
âYou stop!â Shu Xue was calling the butler. Seeing Ming Shu walk down, she shouted, âWho let you go down!â
She stopped Ming Shu when the call just got through. She said immediately, âButler, Shu Ran came out and scared my classmates. You come here quickly and take her... Ah...â
Shu Xue felt the sky and earth spinning and landed on her back.
Even though the corridor was carpeted, she felt as if her insides had been thrown out.
âYouâre so heavy.â Ming Shu took back her hands and gasped. âYou need to lose some weight. Itâs not good for a girl to be so heavy.â
Shu Xueâs eyes widened into two round balls.
She didnât seem to believe that she had thrown her to the ground.
Ming Shu rubbed her own arm. âDonât look at me like that. Iâm scared.â
âYou... you...â
Shu Xue stuttered for a long time yet couldnât say anything coherent. The shock in her eyes gradually gave way to anger.
How did she become like this?
She didnât seem to have normal seizures...
Shu Xueâs heart beat like thunder, and she felt vaguely uneasy at the bottom of her heart.
