Chapter 31: Haunted House

The atmosphere in the car was extremely dull, Lin Xiangwan sat next to Chu Di without saying a word, she tilted her head sideways, and her eyes fell on the shadows speeding by outside the window.

She has been like this since they left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

She seemed to have been suddenly drained of her soul and turned into a beautiful doll, except for breathing, there was no response, even he took her to the car and personally fastened her seat belt, such an intimate contact, she seemed to be unconscious, and she didn't even have an expression of resistance.

But even so, Chu Di knew that Lin Xiangwan was resisting him.

She was merely expressing her almost outburst of anger in her own way, and the cold rejection that emanated from her was a faithful statement of all this.

Chu Di also knew that it was too much for him to do this today. But he had no other choice, he couldn't watch Xu Yunqi and her get the big red certificate, because in that case, he really wouldn't have a chance at all.

The method Zhong Yue said is not useless, but it takes time to build a foundation, if he has a long time, he may be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

But Lin Xiangwan didn't give him time, he couldn't stand the scene of watching other men hug her in his arms, and if that really happened, he couldn't estimate what he would do.

Xu Yunqi terminated the employment relationship with Lin Xiangwan after his funeral, originally, the person he wanted to take care of was dead, what was the use of keeping him. But as for why he found Lin Xiangwan later, Chu Di was actually not very clear.

But not knowing it doesn't prevent him from acting, all the people who stand between him and her, Chu Di will be cleaned up, no matter what identity that person is, and no matter what his intentions are.

He wants her, and there is only one of her in heaven and earth, so even if he uses the strong one, he will imprison her by his side.

The road became more and more familiar, and when the Rose Manor, which carried Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan's countless nightmares, appeared in front of the car, even Lin Xiangwan, who had made up his mind to ignore Chu Di, couldn't help but be short of breath.

Chu Di parked the car, opened the door, ignored her angry eyes and said, "Come down, everything you want to know is in this manor, I don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just give you the answer you want." ”

Lin Xiangwan bit his lip, thought for a while, turned his heart sideways, and jumped out of the car.

The image of roses blooming in the past is gone, the manor that has been uncared for for a long time is in shambles, the tenacious weeds have robbed the nutrients that should have nourished the roses, and those precious and weak flowers, without the strong vitality of weeds, no one to take care of them, and finally only slowly fade and finally die.

The most important thing is that the world can't stay, the face is a mirror, and the tree is a flower.

But the dried rose vines do not disappear because the flowers are gone, but with the passage of time, they become harder and harder, and one day they will become thorny bushes like iron armor, which will give everyone who passes through them a headache.

Chu Di was in and out of this garden a lot, so he could find a relatively safe path in the shortest time, but even so, after walking in the Rose Manor for a long time, there were many blood marks on his exposed skin.

Lin Xiangwan followed behind him, and the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

In just two years, how did this house seem to have changed? Although she didn't like it before, she didn't feel like it was now, and she felt that everywhere here was gloomy, as if there were many ghosts hidden in those dead roses, and when the wind blew, they whispered softly beside her, and their gloomy eyes followed her from time to time, like a sharp edge on her back.

It's like a haunted house.

If it was somewhere else, Lin Xiangwan might have asked questions, but when she thought of this manor and what happened here, she didn't want to say more.

Chu Di walked in front of her, obviously not seeing her expression, but as if he heard her heart, he said, "The garden has been abandoned for a while, and no one has taken care of it, so it has become like this...... Be careful, the floor in front of you is a little sagging, don't stumble your feet. ”

Lin Xiangwan stopped, it was supposed to be the location of the white villa, but at this moment it was barren, and the pure white marble surface was covered with black burnt marks that had been burned by the fire. The villa, which was as luxurious as the prince's palace in a fairy tale, has long since disappeared, leaving only a tattered shell.

It's not just a situation where no one takes care of you. This is...... Fire...... Only fire can destroy such a house in such a short time, and only a fire house can devour everything so comprehensively.

Even after many years, the scorched house still retains the scorching smell of the original tongue of fire. Lin Xiangwan took two steps forward, and there was a creaking sound on the ground.

"Don't look at this place, but if we come uninvited like this, it can be regarded as trespassing on a private house. Chu Di stood next to the villa, lit a cigarette, and said slowly.

Lin Xiangwan let out a sneer, "Don't be kidding, isn't this your property?

"Didn't you read the newspaper for two years? After you left, my mother and I broke off the mother-son relationship, and this house has always been the most controversial part of the division of assets, because the house is in my name, but my mother refused to let go, and then I gave it to her, and she lived here until it burned down...... She just moved out of here and lived in the hospital...... But even then, she wouldn't let me in or out of here. Later, she got sick and didn't remember anything, but she still remembered telling others to be optimistic about this side. Chu Di said, pressing the cigarette butt against the wall.

She knows a little about him and Chu's mother, and the entertainment news is broadcast like a wheel war every day, which makes it difficult for people to think about it. But no one ever told her these details.

Regarding the affairs of the Chu family, Lin Xiangwan never asked much, she only said, "What about my mother's things, when do you plan to return them to me?"

"Right now, don't worry. Chu Di said and took a step into the villa, "Come here, I'll show you." ”

The villa of black koji koji is like a wide open beast's mouth, and a cold wind blows from it, making people shudder. Lin Xiangwan stood in place, standing still, Chu Di saw her hesitation, and said with a smile, "You won't be so timid, it's just an abandoned house, if you don't dare to come in, then wait for me outside......"

"Who said I don't have the guts, you lead the way. Lin Xiangwan shook her head fiercely, clearing out some unwarranted horror pictures in her mind, and after that, she resolutely followed Chu Di to the villa.

The inside of the villa was very bright, just because the roof had been burned through the fire, and beams of sunlight shone directly through the mottled and broken roof, Lin Xiangwan followed Chu Di and walked a few steps, and when she walked to the location of the original living room, she suddenly stopped.

"What do you mean, what are you taking me to see her?" In the center of the living room, there was a wheelchair, the old woman sitting in the wheelchair, even if she seemed to be aging in her twenties overnight, her mouth and eyes were crooked, and she looked like she was about to die, Lin Xiangwan could recognize who she was.

According to what Chu Di said, Chu Mu, who was supposed to be in the hospital, appeared here at this moment and appeared in front of her eyes.

Chu Di didn't answer, but walked straight over, he squatted on his knees in front of Chu Mu's wheelchair, and whispered to her, "Mother, look at who she is." ”

Chu Mu, who was already drowsy, opened her eyes because of his words, her cloudy eyes were like two mudflats, losing their former brilliance, her body trembled uncontrollably, after a long stare, she seemed to suddenly recognize Lin Xiangwan, she began to scream, the sharp scream was like a spike, piercing people's eardrums, she waved her arms indiscriminately, and her mouth emitted whirring air, Lin Xiangwan felt that she was terrifying and ugly, and she didn't want to look any further, but the moment she turned around, she heard Chu Mu say, "Lin Luo." …… Forested ...... You're back looking for me......"

The autumn wind ruthlessly swept the forest, and it was dusk and sunset.

Lin Luo is her mother's name.

"What is she talking about? How did she know my mother's name? What did she mean when she came back to her?" Lin Xiangwan rushed over, wanting to understand.

Chu Di blocked her, took out a photo album from the pocket behind the wheelchair and handed it over, "Your mother and my mother have known each other for a long time, not only did they know each other, but they were also very good friends...... See for yourself......"

The yellowed old photos faithfully record everything that has happened one by one.

On the first page of the photo, two young girls are leaning together, looking at each other and smiling. They are so young, so beautiful, facing the camera, their smiles are as clean as the midsummer sunshine, and like the snow on Christmas morning, making people forget all their troubles. Lin Xiangwan's fingers touched the face of one of the people in the photo back and forth, and her tears slipped silently, dripping on the photo album on a black background, printing a small wetland.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes were the same as those of her as a teenager, and although she had only seen her once in a hurry in her childhood, and had not even seen her face, she knew who she was.

Her name is Lin Luo, and she is her mother.

"The Lin family and the Ruan family have always been world friends, and the daughters of the two families have also become secret friends because they are close in age, and such a close relationship has been maintained until they are sixteen years old. Chu Di said in a low voice. Ruan is Chu's mother's surname when she was not married, because she has been married into the Chu family for too long, so many people have forgotten her original surname.

On the next page of the album, although the protagonists in the photos are still these two girls, another person has been added to the sporadic photos.

A young man, handsome in appearance and full of energy, like a Zhilan jade tree, dazzled people's eyes with white ground.

Lin Xiangwan had never seen him, but just by looking at his eyebrows, she could guess his identity, he must be surnamed Chu, he was Chu Di's father.
