Chapter 212 Chu Tianjiao Is An Orphan

Tang Xia frowned. Chu Tianjiao’s hand was not gentle at all. Even though he only used two fingers to pinch her chin, she still felt spasms at the back of her head, from the pain.

Chu Tianjiao’s expression made it look as if everything was so natural, and he was merely touching her chin gently.

However, the slightly red mark on her chin was proof that he was almost crushing her bones.

Seeing his light expression, Tang Xia really wanted to kick him.

However, she was very certain that it would not do her any good. So what if it would vent her anger? Those who should be caught would still be caught, those who should be locked up, would still be locked up. She held back the urge to push him aside, and pretended to shook her head in a flustered manner.

“No, no! Why would I ever think of escaping?”

Chu Tianjiao frowned slightly when he saw how she refuted him directly. His expression told her that he obviously did not believe her. He exerted more force on the hand tugging at her chin.

Tang Xia looked at him, as he continued exerting more force, as a tinge of coldness flashed across his eyes. She looked down. How could she convince him in such a way that he would believe her? Her chin would be turning purple anytime soon!

“I just miss home.”

Chu Tianjiao’s expression changed suddenly. Tang Xia was surprised. She had only said it casually. She did not expect him to believe such a lame excuse. Tang Xia instantly felt like she had won the lottery.

Seeing Chu Tianjiao’s face turn red and green, Tang Xia was a little confused as to what was happening to him. Why did his manner change, after hearing that she was homesick?

Chu Tianjiao let go of her chin, and left instantly. Tang Xia immediately touched her chin. She only felt bursts of pain.

Right now, she really wanted to take a look at a mirror. She did not even know what was the condition of her chin. Could it have turned purple and left a bruise?

Looking at Chu Tianjiao’s increasingly-distant back view, Tang Xia felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow.

When did Chu Tianjiao ever display this emotion? Wasn’t he always wearing that sinister smirk on his face? Now, he did not even bother about her intention to escape, and had just walked off like that?

La Chapelle looked at Tang Xia’s confused look, and suddenly smiled. She waved a finger in front of her eyes, but Tang Xia was too focused in her thoughts, and showed no reaction.

La Chapelle saw that she was so engrossed in her thoughts and pulled at her directly. Tang Xia then snapped back into reality. La Chapelle looked at her, feeling confused.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Tang Xia looked at La Chapelle and touched her chin that was still throbbing after being pinched so hard. She turned around and asked her.

“Did I say anything wrong just now?”

La Chapelle was startled. What did she mean by “saying anything wrong?” Recalling Chu Tianjiao’s strange reaction, she suddenly understood what was going on.

“Although the Chu family is very mysterious, but as Chu Tianjiao’s cousin, I still understand him a little.”

Tang Xia was surprised and immediately lifted her head to look at her. What did she mean by that?

“Didn’t you say that you don’t understand him that well?”

“Why did she suddenly say that she understood him? Liar!”

La Chapelle looked at Tang Xia’s confused and skeptical look, and felt instantly embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red, and as she quickly waved her hands, she said,

“I forgot the last time, my memory is not good, hahaha.”

Tang Xia looked at her silently. Right now, she did not want to say anything, nor did she want to pay any attention to her at all. After thinking about it for a while, La Chapelle leaned close to her ear and said softly,

“Chu Tianjiao was actually adopted by the Chu family.”

Tang Xia was shocked, and she instantly turned back to look at her. What? There was a hidden fact like this?

She had never expected Chu Tianjiao to have such an identity. She found herself speechless for quite some time. Could it be that his identity was the reason why he was so abnormal? This was too dramatic!

But after all, the world was that dramatic. One should not take everything so seriously.

Tang Xia nodded in her heart. La Chapelle looked at her. What kind of nonsense was this person thinking of again? Seeing her expression, La Chapelle knew that she was not thinking of anything good.

“I’m not done yet.”

Tang Xia was startled. There was more?

“Spill any other information that you have!”

“Let me enjoy it all at once.”

La Chapelle spoke softly, “Chu Tianjiao was adopted by the Chu family when he was young, so that he could be a playmate for the Chu family’s young master.”

Tang Xia could not help but frown. What kind of rich family was this? To adopt a kid just to play with their child? How rich was this family?

If this castle was just a tiny playground built for Chu Tianjiao, then this Chu family was really living like a game bug.

The Chu family must spoil the young master a lot, in order to give such a big castle to his playmate that they adopted for fun.

But…what kind of an existence was it for this young master?

For some unknown reason, when she heard that Chu Tianjiao had a brother, she felt an inexplicable shiver run down her spine, as if an answer had surfaced.

It also seemed as if she was unwilling to face it. She only wished that this time around, it better not be what she last wanted it to be…

“Seems like this young master is also a pervert!”

La Chapelle smiled and said nothing. After all, she did not know the Chu family very well. She was just a cousin, she did not know the rest.

However, she agreed with what Tang Xia said. Chu Tianjiao was already so sick, yet he was just a playmate. Then wouldn’t the young master be even more of a pervert than him?

“Do you know anything else? Just tell me everything all at once, don’t leave me hanging by telling me bit by bit.”

Tang Xia folded her arms and stared at La Chapelle, as if she was interrogating her. La Chapelle could not help taking two steps back. She quickly waved her hands and said.

“No more, no more, no more. There’s really no more.”

She was not part of the Chu family, how could she possibly know so much? While thinking about it, she turned her head towards the other side. She saw that everyone had dispersed, and the maids had arrived to bring everyone back to their rooms.

“It’s over, it’s over, time for us to go back.”

As if she was escaping from her, La Chapelle pulled her maid along, and ran to her room. Tang Xia rolled her eyes. Did she need to do it to this extent? It was the first time she saw her pulling her maid to her room.

Suddenly, a maid walked towards her. She said nothing, and started to bring her to her room. Tang Xia scanned her environment. Everyone else had indeed returned. She let the maid pull her back.

Seeing the maid slam the door shut, Tang Xia felt as if she was already used to this prison-like life, just that this was a luxurious prison.

She turned her head towards the window and suddenly thought of the man outside the window. Who was he? Why did he help her for no reason? He even told her where she could land her leg.

She kept on feeling that there was something familiar about him. She was also very curious about this man in the Garden of Eden that was full of women, whom even Chu Tianjiao did not know of.

She had a hunch that he would appear again.

The next day.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Tang Xia was in the middle of her sleep, when she was woken up by a sudden knock on her door. Feeling a little annoyed, she lifted her blanket. She then saw La Chapelle barging in all of a sudden.

Tang Xia obviously had not yet registered what just happened. She only felt some unknown object plunging toward her. Tang Xia looked at her in shock, and felt that the whole situation was very inexplicable.

“Why did you come out?”

Wasn’t she a bit crazy? Even if she was Chu Tianjiao’s cousin, she should not be running around everyday! She should not be so willful, even with her special status. At that instant, Tang Xia felt a bit skeptical about her. Why was she not set up as Chu Tianjiao’s cousin, since she came here voluntarily?

She was kept here like a canary, and other than playing some mind games, all she did was to sleep. She was so tired that she was doubting her life. She was unlike La Chapelle, who could go anywhere she wanted to.

La Chapelle seemed to have understand what was behind Tang Xia’s look in her eyes. She quickly held her hand and said,

“Every Sunday is our free time, but we can’t get out of the premises of the Garden of Eden. But since I’m his cousin, I’m entitled to run around!”

Tang Xia was surprised. There was such a system in place? She quickly turned and looked at La Chapelle in disbelief. She observed the situation outside the door, and ran back to whisper in La Chapelle’s ears.

“Since that’s the case, isn’t it a good opportunity to escape today?!”

La Chapelle shook her head slowly. She looked at Tang Xia’s hopeful face and sighed slowly.

“If only it was that simple.”

Tang Xia was startled. Could there be any hidden agenda? She turned to sit beside her and asked.

“Why would you say that?”

La Chapelle looked at Tang Xia. She was still underestimating the Garden of Eden, and how sickening and inhumane Chu Tianjiao was.

“Those caught escaping on Sunday will….in front of everyone…”

Tang Xia saw that La Chapelle could not bear to tell her. What could it be that would cause her to feel so disgusted, just by thinking about it? Tang Xia looked at how La Chapelle was acting in such a mysterious way, and felt like beating her up at that very instant. She hated those who stop talking halfway, the most!

“What will happen to them? Say it!”

Tang Xia tugged at La Chapelle’s arm anxiously. La Chapelle’s tone was sinister, as she said.

“Those caught escaping will be whipped to death, in front of everyone.”

Tang Xia was taken aback. Although Chu Tianjiao was a pervert, she thought that he would not do something that would threaten one’s life. However, she had never thought that he could be so cruel.

La Chapelle looked at how Tang Xia remained sullen. She was just about to say something when Tang Xia stood up all of a sudden. La Chapelle jumped in surprise. Tang Xia then pulled her towards the door.

She had never thought that Tang Xia would bring her to a place like this hell. Tang Xia saw Haidala when she looked inside. But just as they were exchanging glances with each other, Haidala avoided her stare.
