C191 (2/2)
After saying that, he threw the handkerchief away, waved his hand, and left with his people in a grandiose manner.
In the pitch-black back alley, all that was left was the exhausted Xia Xinxin.
She lay quietly on the cold ground, not thinking about anything. As long as she thought about Mo Zixiao's indifference, she would not even have the courage to continue living.
But she couldn't give up her life, her hope, everything she cherished, so she could only think about nothing and just lie there quietly, slowly gathering her strength bit by bit.
After an unknown period of time, she finally felt something. With just a little bit of strength left in his body, he pushed himself up against the ground and endured the pain. His body felt like it was about to fall apart. He slowly crawled up in pain.
Propping herself up against the rough concrete wall, she struggled to move forward. In a short distance of less than a hundred meters, it took her a full half an hour to walk out of the alley.
Walking to the side of the road, she raised her hand to intercept the taxi, but because she looked so scary, none of the taxis stopped.
Finally, a taxi pulled up beside her, and a black driver got out, opened the door for her, and helped her in. He hurriedly got into the cab, started the engine, and asked, ”Miss, did you get robbed? Do you need me to take you to the police station? ”
She weakly waved her hand, gave out the address, and then wearily closed her eyes.
Only after the car arrived at the manor did she remember that she didn't have the money to pay the bill. The small bag she brought with her was left behind in the hotel. She lowered her head to look at the diamond ring shining brilliantly in the darkness. He wanted to take it down and use it as a fare.
But as they looked, they remembered how Mo Zixiao had affectionately put it on his hand, and how they were so sweet and happy, and how they had shed tears with great reluctance.
The driver noticed her distress and said, ”I won't charge you for the car. You should go home and rest.”
She shook her head. She took off the pair of platinum earrings she was wearing and handed them to the driver.
”No need, no need! This is so expensive, how can a few cars' money be worth this? ” The driver quickly waved his hand.
She forced the earring into his hand. ”If it wasn't for you today, no one would be willing to drive me home. What is this little thing compared to your kindness? Take it! Otherwise, I won't get out of the car! ”
The driver couldn't refuse and could only accept it. Seeing her get off the car, he stretched his head out and shouted, ”Don't go out so late!”
She turned and waved at him, then stumbled back to the manor house.
Her bedraggled appearance shocked the guards of the manor. They all knew more or less that Mo Zixiao had forgotten about her, and they were full of sympathy for her, but they could do nothing about it.
However, this was the first time he came back with so many scars.
Immediately, someone dashed off to inform the old housekeeper of the news.
When the old housekeeper knocked on the door, Xia Xinxin had just finished showering and was sitting on a chair, rubbing ointment on her wounds.
Hearing the knock on the door, his whole body shook, hoping that Mo Zixiao would suddenly remember something and rush back. Excited, he quickly stood up and rushed out of the room barefooted, rushing down the stairs.
The floor had just been waxed and was extremely slippery. She rushed too fast and lost control of her own speed. When she lost her balance, she fell down the stairs with a thud.
When she got downstairs, she was almost unable to get up, but it was this roll that made her realize that the person knocking on the door was definitely not Mo Zixiao.
This was his house. He had the password, so he would enter by it. Why would he bother knocking on the door?
His hopes went out of him as he struggled to get up from the ground and limped over to open the door.
When the old housekeeper saw the bruises and wounds all over her face, she was shocked and quickly asked, ”Miss Xia, are you alright?”
”You saw it!” I am not dead yet! ” Xia Xinxin smiled wryly.
The old steward had taken a few months' leave because he had something to do at home. He reckoned that he had just come back.
”Hurry up and sit down!” The old housekeeper hurriedly helped her to sit down on the sofa. With a frown, he said bluntly, ”Although I have just returned, I also have a rough idea of what has happened during my absence. Sigh! I thought that from now on the Manor would be safe and sound with you. I didn't think that you and Young Master Mo would become like this again. Did he hit you when you came back like this? ”
Xia Xinxin shook her head. ”It's not him.”
The old butler looked even more doubtful. ”Who is that?”
”I'm sorry. I'm tired and I really don't have the energy to talk about it. ” As long as Xia Xinxin thought of the scene in the hotel, her heart would ache like a knife to the bone. She didn't even dare to think about it, how could she dare to talk about it?
”But how can you be injured like this? Miss Xia, you need someone to help you. You can't go through all that trouble just by yourself. ” The old housekeeper hit the nail on the head and said, ”Maybe I'll call young master JASON and have him come back and deal with this. Young Master Mo doesn't believe what you just said, so you should at least believe what JASON said, right? ”
”Do you know where they are now?” Xia Xinxin asked with a wry smile.
