Chapter 1378: The Supreme Killer (22)

In fact, there were no twists or turns about the enmity between them.

It was simply that Shu Ran’s parents kept something for one of their friends.

But they didn’t expect this would bring them death.

A happy family was destroyed just like that.

“What thing?”

“I don’t know. I only know it’s a box containing something…”

Yi Qiao shook his head.

He had seen the box only once, and never again.

He had no idea what was inside.

Yi Qiao drew it very simply to show Ming Shu.

The most striking thing on the box was the pattern.

But Yi Qiao didn’t remember it very clearly, so he wasn’t sure about the pattern in the middle.

“What’s this pattern?”

“I don’t know.” Yi Qiao shook his head again. “I’ve never seen a sign like that.”

“So the situation now is that someone thinks the thing has been included in the legacy my parents left me?”

Yi Qiao nodded. “It should be like that.”

That was why when he saw Xuan Ge, he thought he’d rather protect her in exchange for what he wanted.

He did look into it all these years, but the clues had been lost as early as that time.

He had nowhere to start at all.

And meanwhile, egged on by Shu Hang, Shu Ran was growing more and more estranged from him…

Ming Shu was confused. “In that case, why has it taken so many years for anyone to start looking?”

Yi Qiao said, “Young Miss, Cai Yuanpeng has been always by your side.”

Cai Yuanpeng…

The doctor.

Ming Shu didn’t find anything related to the box in the Host’s memory.

So she didn’t think the Host had seen it…

Ming Shu contacted Lawyer Jiang to ask to check all of Shu Ran’s parents’ legacies.

Lawyer Jiang made some arrangements for her very soon as it wasn’t a difficult request.

In addition to the company, the legacies included some shares and real estate as well as a number of other things.

These things were all kept in the bank’s safe, and she wouldn’t be able to inherit them until she was eighteen.

But with the help of Lawyer Jiang, she could at least take a glimpse at them.

However, she indeed found nothing related to the box after an overall check.

So the thing was, she couldn’t find the box and the puppet master didn’t show up, either.

Ming Shu was a little worried.

…I’d better have some snacks.

…

Shu Xue had been absent from school for several days.

There was a student at school whose father was an officer of the Public Security Bureau and knew that Shu Xue’s father had been arrested for some broad crimes. Therefore, the story had long been revealed.

“Shu Xue used to live in Shu Ran’s house but claimed it was hers. How shameless.”

“Shu Xue’s father was Shu Ran’s uncle, so after Shu Ran’s parents pa.s.sed away, they moved in, chut chut… When I look at the way she behaved usually at school, I really thought she was a young Miss from a rich and powerful family.”

“Is it that Shu Xue’s family wants to rob Shu Ran’s property? What do you think?”

There was a lot of speculation like that going around at school.

Shu Ran’s parents made their own fortune which had nothing to do with the previous generation.

Thus there was absolutely nothing wrong in leaving the family property to their daughter.

People may have just forgotten about it if Shu Hang had taken good care of Shu Ran because, after all, they were relatives.

But for so many years, Shu Xue had been enjoying something that should have belonged to Shu Ran.

Yet there was no good news about Shu Ran.

When she came to school, she was even rumored to be mentally ill.

These students couldn’t stop their imaginations when they began to focus on this interesting matter.

They made up all manner of well-reasoned tales of wealthy and influential clans and cliched drama plots.

Shu Xue dared not come to school at all under such pressure.

And the man from before never appeared again once Shu Hang was arrested.

It was like an unreal dream seen through a mirror.

Shu Xue went downstairs to buy something for Mother Shu, muddleheaded.

A car stopped beside her silently.

Shu Xue was startled.

But at the sight of the familiar car, her heart was immediately filled with joy.

It was him!

The window rolled down and revealed the man’s handsome face.

“Mister Guan…” Shu Xue called with suppressed excitement.

Then she remembered the way she looked right now and lowered her head in regret.

Because she went out without makeup.

She must look very terrible now.

She and Guan Shaoyu didn’t have much of a close relations.h.i.+p. They just had a few meals together and he gave her a few gifts.

So when Guan Shaoyu suddenly disappeared from her life, she didn’t know what to do except feel confused.

But now he appeared suddenly again…

Guan Shaoyu nodded politely at her. “Miss Shu, are you going out? May I give you a ride?”

Shu Xue was a little reserved before getting into the car conveniently.

As the car started again, Guan Shaoyu explained voluntarily, “I’ve been on a business trip for the last few days. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to tell you.”

“Okay.” Shu Xue was relieved that he had just gone on a business trip.

Now he even took the initiative to explain to her, Shu Xue couldn’t help feeling sweet in her heart.

So she asked concernedly, “Are you tired?”

“I’m fine. How about you, how’s it going recently?”

“Well… I…I’m doing great.”

Guan Shaoyu didn’t say much then. It seemed he was just giving her a ride along the way.

Over the next few days, Shu Xue often came across Guan Shaoyu.

Even though Guan Shaoyu didn’t behave differently when he met her, Shu Xue still felt she was special to him.

She believed Guan Shaoyu liked her.

Why else would he run into her every day?

Also, Guan Shaoyu was really good to her. All the things he bought for her were the best.

Even if Shu Xue refused, he would send the things again the next day.

…

In the villa…

It was near dusk; Ming Shu was doing homework in Xuan Ge’s arms.

Xuan Ge was flipping through a physics textbook. He would glance at the girl in his arms from time to time.

As he saw the girl pulling a long face at the homework, he said, “You can give up if you’re tired.”

Ming Shu immediately dropped her pen. Xuan Ge took her hand and rubbed it gently. “I’ll explain to you the problem-solving process, just listen.”

Ming Shu: “…” I’ll listen to it as a lullaby, the little goblin has a pleasant voice.

Xuan Ge managed to finish two more complicated problems before the servant came up to ask them to go have dinner.

After dinner, Yi Qiao asked Ming Shu to see the decorated room and let her know she could move downstairs any time.

Ming Shu walked around the room and found it quite satisfactory.

The room was big enough to store a lot of snacks.

Xuan Ge approached her and took her in his arms, whispering, “When you asked me to choose the furniture, were you hinting at something?”

Ming Shu answered honestly and confidently, “I was just too lazy to do it.”

“Last time when I got hurt, you told the servant to bring me food every day…”

“It was Uncle Yi.”

Xuan Ge put his fingers against her earlobes. “I find that you don’t like to tell the truth, you always say yes and mean no.”

“I don’t.”

Xuan Ge touched the tip of her nose lightly with his fingertip and said in a doting tone, “Okay, okay, you never do that.”

Xuan Ge’s s.e.xy Adam’s apple moved. He narrowed his focused eyes slightly and looked like wine, intoxicating.

He lowered his head and slowly kissed Ming Shu’s soft lip while tentatively brus.h.i.+ng her lips with the tip of his tongue.

“Miss, I just found something in the utility room, it should be…”

Kuangdang—

The box fell to the ground.

Yi Qiao looked in shock at the two people embracing each other in the room.

Waiting for a moment, Yi Qiao rushed in and pulled Xuan Ge away in one go. He scolded angrily, “Xuan Ge, what’re you doing!”

I asked you to protect Miss… not to bully her!

“Come out with me!” Yi Qiao then turned and said to Ming Shu gently, “Miss, don’t be afraid.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Butler Yi was an impressive person!

If other people met such a scene, their first reaction would be to get out of there ASAP.

But he just rushed in…

Ming Shu said to Xuan Ge silently, Good luck.
