Chapter 19: Fear
There was silence at the dinner table.
Cardamom put down her chopsticks after eating, "I'm going to join a crew to film in a few days, and if you want to find me, you may only have to wait for me to come back after filming." ”
"What drama?" Mu Rong also put down his chopsticks.
"A low-cost web drama, and it's also a lily drama." Cardamom smiled, "Dong Wei will definitely not be able to see this kind of script, so you don't have to invest in her to bring money into the group to play another female number two." ”
"Whatever script you want, I can also invest in it."
"Thanks, but no." Cardamom lowered her eyes, "The deal between us is only that you help me pay off my father's gambling debts and help Xiaodouzi heal these two items." ”
"You even want to be Mrs. Mu, and you still care about this?"
"yes, just let me be hypocritical. The things that come from the transaction are not always sincere. Cardamom stood up, "I'll go back first." ”
"I'll stay here for the next two days."
Cardamom was stunned, "I'm okay to stay here overnight now?" ”
"What can happen?" Mu Rong lifted her eyelids to look at her, "When didn't you leave by yourself, I let you go?" ”
"I thought you didn't want me to stay overnight."
"What?" She said in a low voice, but Mu Rong didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Cardamom knew that since Murong had already spoken, he couldn't refuse. Once refused, the only thing waiting for her was to stay forcibly, "Then you ask someone to clean up a guest room for me, I will join the group to film in a few days, and the injuries on my body must be healed quickly, and I can't toss." ”
"I won't touch you." Mu Rong said: "What's the matter with the injury in the palm of your hand?" ”
"Sir, have you really forgotten or have you fakely forgotten?" Cardamom leaned over and mocked with a smile, "What did you eat for me the night before yesterday in order to vent your anger on Dong Wei?" I'm alone, and I can't resist it, so I can only use some other way? ”
Mu Rong frowned, "Cao Mei was waiting downstairs at the time, and she didn't take you to the hospital?" ”
"Did you see Cao Mei?" Cardamom was stunned.
"Hmm."
Cardamom chuckled in her heart, wondering if Murong had seen through her intentions.
"I called Sister Cao and asked her to pick me up." Cardamom smiled, "So you don't think the punishment that day was enough, and you just got another whip today?" In order to vent Dong Wei's anger and make her comfortable, you are also doing your best. I knew that I wouldn't call Sister Cao, so as not to be whipped again today. ”
For the next two days, Cardamom stayed in the villa on Murong's side.
Mu Rong also did what he said, except for smearing medicine on her, he didn't touch her.
The whip wounds on her body looked horrible, but they didn't really hurt the muscles and bones, and after three days of smearing the wound medicine, the whip marks had disappeared.
It was the wound on the palm of her hand that began to scar after Murong's family doctor changed the medicine for her.
"The wound in the palm of the hand does not touch the water." Mu Rong wrapped gauze around her, "Before the wound is completely healed, you can't eat soy sauce and ginger, so as not to leave scars." ”
"It's just the palm of your hand, and it doesn't matter if you leave a scar." Cardamom didn't care.
"I don't like it." Mu Rong raised his head, "When will you join the crew?" ”
Cardamom heart said that it has nothing to do with me whether you like it or not, and her face was not revealed, "The day after tomorrow." ”
"Live here, I'll have someone drive you to the crew the day after tomorrow."
"I took a shot in the city next door, and I took a car by myself. And I have to go back to pack my luggage, and I have to go home to see Xiaodouzi. ”
"I will ask someone to pack your luggage for you, and the doctor will also go over to treat Xiaodouzi in a few days, if you don't see him for the past two days, it will be more conducive to his treatment." Mu Rong tied her bandages, "Cardamom, I don't like to be rejected. ”
"I don't like to be forced." Cardamom stared at him, "Murong, you're going to make me think you're tempting. ”
The two looked at each other, and there was no emotion in Mu Rong's expression, Cardamom actually had no bottom in her heart, but if she wanted to leave Mu Rong, she could no longer obey everything as before.
Murong is a man who has been in a high position for a long time, and he cannot accept being disobeyed. And now she wants him to do whatever he hates.
"Cardamom, you should learn to be obedient." Mu Rong's expression finally had a little anger, "Those who disobey will always be punished." ”
"It's okay." Cardamom laughed, "The slap marks on my face and the whiplash wounds on my body are healed, if you don't have a good time, you can make them happen again." ”
"Are you deliberately disobeying me, trying to provoke me?" Mu Rong pinched both of her cheeks, "Cardamom, do you know that your behavior like this is dangerous? ”
The strength of his fingers was strong, and he pinched Cardamom's cheek and squeezed it against his teeth, bringing a wave of soreness.
Cardamom was not afraid, "Murong, you said that you love me and want me to stay, so I won't leave." ”
"Cardamom, if you want to learn something that you can't get, you shouldn't expect it." Mu Rong let go of her, "Dacheng, take her to the small house and lock her up for three days, no need to deliver food." ”
"Yes, sir." Dacheng stepped forward, "Miss Dou, please." ”
Cardamom said that she had long been out of luxury, but she wished that he would immediately dislike her and let her go as far as possible. In the future, whether they live or die, it is better for them not to have anything to do with it again.
But Mu Rong punished her, but still didn't mention how far she went, which was very sad.
If it weren't for the fact that he was ruthless, Cardamom would have thought that he couldn't bear her.
Cardamom followed Dacheng out without saying a word and entered the basement of the villa.
It was the first time she had been here, and she found that there were a lot of torture instruments inside, some of which were stained with dried brown blood.
"It's like a bloody crime scene." Cardamom smiled.
"Sir occasionally asks some people here something, and some people have a tighter mouth, and if they want to get the necessary information, they have to use some means." Dacheng said: "Mr. still feels sorry for you, you shouldn't anger Mr." ”
"And that counts as anger?" Cardamom looked around, "I'm a human being, not his pet, I have my own mind, and I should always fight for something for myself that should have belonged to me." ”
"Sir has treated you very well."
"Is that what you mean for me? Dacheng, do you have any misunderstanding of the word good? ”
"Miss Dong has a special background, you are against her, if it weren't for Mr. punishing you first, and letting the Dong family deal with you, you might have died by now."
Cardamom sneered, "If he is really good to me, who would dare to touch a strand of hair in this Jincheng who wants to protect the person he wants to protect?" ”
Dacheng is still speaking for Mu Rong, "Mr. will also have a last resort. ”
"Forget it." Cardamom changed the subject, "Mu Rong wants me to be locked up here for three days without eating or drinking, right?" Don't tell me, I'll keep my tongue in my mouth, lest I get too thirsty for a while. ”
"Yes. If Miss Bean figured it out, she could tell me, and I would stay outside the door and tell him. ”
"Thank you." Cardamom looked around and sat down in a chair next to her.
Dacheng glanced at her, didn't say anything, and withdrew to close the door.
The basement door closed, the lights turned off, and the surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.
This kind of darkness is especially uncomfortable for people who have always lived in a city with lights, as if the whole person has fallen into a cloud of black ink that cannot be dispersed, and the darkness makes people feel suffocated.
Cardamom had seen her mother jump off a tall building in despair in the dark, and she had seen her sister in a dark box covered in blood and lifeless, so she was actually afraid of the dark.
Once in the dark, she felt breathless, and felt like blood was spreading to her everywhere.
Mu Rong really knows how to make those who disobey him feel fearful.
Cardamom reached for the phone in her pocket with a trembling hand, and the faint light from lighting up the screen finally relieved her tight breathing for two points.
"With only 80 percent electricity, I can't last a day."
Cardamom couldn't help but smile bitterly, closed her eyes and urged herself to sleep immediately in the faint light.
But in such a closed darkness, the heaviness that pressed on her heart made her unable to sleep at all.
I don't know how long it took for her to start feeling thirsty and hungry.
The phone's battery dinged, and finally ran out, and the surroundings fell into an indissolvable darkness again.
Cardamom opened her eyes in the dark, and it felt as if sticky blood was gradually spilling up the chair, over her feet, all the way up, and finally devouring her completely.
"Whew! Call! ”
Rapid and heavy gasps, as if to squeeze the last shred of oxygen out of her heart and lungs.
"Sister. Small beans. Sister. Small beans. Sister. Little Bean......"
Cardamom's teeth trembled, and she repeated the two of them.
She's going to live.
To cure Xiaodouzi's illness and find his biological parents for Xiaodouzi.
I want to avenge my sister.
She must live!
