Chapter 9: Expectation

Not far away, a pair of vicious eyes were staring at Cen Xia, and the way they talked hurt Mo Ran's heart.

As soon as Chi Jinyan appeared, her eyes never left that man, but he was actually waiting for Cen Xia to get up.

In her opinion, Chi Jinyan was so gentle to that woman. Jealousy made her eyes red and she stomped her feet in anger. Why did Cen Xia get the upper hand over the prey that neither she nor Gu Xia could catch?

Anger made her forget Chi Jinyan's warning.

Looking at the dazed Cen Xia, she walked up to her, grabbed her hair and dragged her back. She could not let her go today. She had plenty of ways to make this woman suffer.

Cen Xia was sweating from the pain, but her throat was so sore that she couldn't even cry out in pain. She was almost dead, and having just recovered from an illness, she was no match for Mo Ran.

The housekeeper stepped forward to stop Mo Ran , " The young master said that Miss Cen should rest well in the next two days. I hope Miss Mo will not disobey the young master's orders."

Rong Zhengqing said this, but he had no feelings for Cen Xia, and even looked down on Mo Ran. His words had been conveyed. Compared to Cen Xia, he hoped that the young master could use some tricks on her.

Both the jade and the stone are damaged, and he is just a fisherman who benefits.

Mo Ran knew what he meant, so he tightened his grip, fiercely pulled out a few strands of Cen Xia's hair and threw her to the ground.

Cen Xia felt as if his scalp was about to be peeled off. He frowned in pain and curled up into a ball on the ground.

He stood up, clenched his teeth tightly, and could not make any sound.

She only heard the housekeeper say that she could rest well for two days, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt very pathetic that even a small thing could make her happy for a long time.

Nothing that happened in the corridor escaped Chi Jinyan's eyes. He installed so many surveillance cameras in the villa that he couldn't even remember them all.

He sat in the car with a tablet in his hand, feeling a little unhappy as he watched Mo Ran treat Cen Xia fiercely and rudely.

Chi Jinyan doesn't like others to touch things that belong to him easily, but even if he doesn't like it, it's still his.

He whispered something to Rong Heng.

Every time I see Cen Xia, I will think of Xiao Xia ... Chi Jinyan's eyes slowly revealed a hint of coldness.

After turning off the surveillance camera, Chi Jinyan tightly gripped the edge of the tablet with his fingers.

Seeing the butler leave, Mo Ran came up with a plan.

She grabbed Cen Xia's hair and walked to the swimming pool, then pushed her in when she wasn't paying attention.

Cen Xia was thrown into the water and struggled to stick his head out.

Suddenly, she looked at the woman who had a pretty face but a heart as vicious as a snake.

The next moment, a rag was thrown in her face, and the servant deliberately stretched out a long brush and hit her hard.

It would be more accurate to say that it hit her rather than smashed her, and she had no time to dodge.

Mo Ran's annoying voice floated over , " Cen Xia, today's sunshine is just right for you to take a bath in the swimming pool. Clean this for me, and I'll be watching you from here."

Seeing that she didn't move, Mo Ran winked at the servant beside him.

Aunt Zhang and a maid jumped into the swimming pool.

The two men grabbed her arms, pressed her head, and pushed her into the water over and over again. When they had enough, they threw her to the side of the pool.

She struggled subconsciously, and the water choked her nose and she couldn't stop coughing. She felt a stinging pain in her palms, and the gauze had already been soaked by water.

The servant slowly stopped his actions, allowing Cen Xia to catch his breath. He slowly raised his head and stared at the smug woman.

Cen Xia lowered his eyes, without any fear at all. He calmed himself, silently picked up the rag, walked into the water, and began to scrub the edge of the pool with one hand.

Mo Ran looked at the miserable appearance coldly, but he was still not satisfied. He wished he could push this woman into the water and torture her to death.

After getting rid of Gu Xia, Cen Xia came. For more than three years, she hadn't even touched the head of Chi Jinyan's bed. The compensation she got from all her hard work in climbing into bed was just to make her a leader in the hosting industry. She couldn't get even a gentle look from him, and she couldn't see her "lover" as his lover.

Thinking of that night, she still regrets it. If she had known it would become real, she wouldn't have been single for more than three years.

She could only vent her hatred on Cen Xia, "Cen Xia, you bitch, you killed Gu Xia, my best friend, and caused Chi Shao to suffer for so many years. This little punishment is too light for you. Wash your dirty heart in the water!"

When she mentioned Gu Xia, she felt sad again.

She and I are really good friends. Our relationship is the same as Chi Jinyan's, in that we both can't get what we want. The difference is that she is remembered even after her death, but I am not in his eyes even when I am alive.

Sooner or later, she will send this woman to see Gu Xia.

Cen Xia sneered.

If Chi Jinyan really loved that woman, how could he fall for her best friend? I don’t know what means she used to become Chi Jinyan’s woman. This woman with no bottom line has lost even the basic sense of shame.

Mo Ran sat on a chair beside her, drinking an ice drink and wearing sunglasses, just watching her work, and occasionally letting out a silver bell-like laugh.

She is a host with a beautiful voice, but her heart is inversely proportional to her voice.

Mo Ran's pride did not last long. The housekeeper came to call her and said that the radio station was going to change the anchor. This was unexpected. She hurriedly left the villa after hearing it.

Mo Ran wanted to torture Cen Xia every moment in her dreams, but this job was the only charity from Mr. Chi to her, and it was also her only dignity.

Cen Xia's injured hand became hot and began to fester after being touched by water. The housekeeper was probably afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he scolded the servant and asked her to go and rest first.

Cen Xia hadn't had a bite of food since this morning, and her stomach was numb from hunger. She had been missing meals for years, and she was suffering from a disease. She thought it would be better for her to die of the disease.

When will the pain end ...

—

Leisurely days always pass quickly. This evening, Cen Xia was already dressed neatly and quietly standing at the door, waiting to go to the Chi family's old house with Chi Jinyan.

Since meeting Chi Jinyan that day, she never saw him again. Mo Ran was also surprisingly quiet. She didn't have the leisure to guess what happened between the two of them.

The car lights at the door slowly lit up. Cen Xia did not dare to delay and hurried forward.

Rong Heng got out of the car and opened the door for her. After thinking for a while, he said tactfully , " Madam, the young master is a little busy today and will not arrive until later. Let me pick you up first."

Cen Xia nodded and smiled at him, but in fact, Chi Jinyan didn't want to be with her at all.

I walked to the back seat and breathed a sigh of relief. I was lucky not to be riding with him.

Rong Heng looked at her from time to time through the endoscope.

She was still as beautiful and calm as when we first met. Even though she was devastated, she was still like the moon, cold and noble, untouchable and out of reach.

Gradually moving away from the villa, heading west.

Cen Xia opened the car window and the surrounding scenery passed by.

She stretched out her hand to feel the warm breeze blowing through her fingers, tilted her head against the edge of the glass, revealing her delicate little face, and faced the wind to admire the sunset, the setting sun like fire.

It is rare to appreciate the beautiful scenery but I am full of sadness. If I were not in this situation now, perhaps I could be with the one I love and watch the sunset and the starry sky together.

She took a deep breath, trying to squeeze the dirty air out of her chest.

Recalling the last time she received an invitation and sneaked out, she was caught before she had gone far. The severe punishment made her never dare to step out of the villa again.

She closed the car window, stopped thinking and closed her eyes. Maybe the wind made her want to cry. She silently hoped that the car would stay on the road forever without stopping.

As she was about to drive into the Chi family's old residence, she began to feel uneasy. It had been several months since they last met.

This time she thought that she could get the answer from the old lady.
