"What do you want? We can talk this over. Can you let go first? I’m really uncomfortable like this..."
"What we want, you’ll give us?"
A deep male voice sounded above her head.
Su Xiaong nodded vigorously, then seed to rember sothing and quickly said, "Right, my, my husband is called Yin Shixiu. You, you can check him out. He’s very wealthy. If you want money, he’ll give it to you!"
Xiao ng’s words only added fuel to the fire, instantly angering the two n in front of her!
"Just knew you were after my uncle’s money!"
"Ming Lang!"
"Ugh!"
Shan Minglang quickly covered his mouth, realizing he had slipped up.
He hastily gave an apologetic look to his twin brother Shan Mingxu, who was only born a few minutes before him.
Shan Mingxu frowned. Although the two brothers looked ninety percent alike, their temperants were vastly different, with the older brother being steady and ticulous, and the younger brother being rash and careless.
"Your uncle is... Yin Shixiu?"
Su Xiaong thought she had misheard...
Shan Mingxu saw that Su Xiaong already knew their identity, so he stopped hiding and said coldly, "Yes! Su Xiaong, don’t think you can really get the Yin Family’s approval by pretending. Not any woman is worthy of my uncle!"
Su Xiaong pressed her lips together... pressing tighter and tighter until they turned a bit pale.
First, it was Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin, and now it’s their... nephews... and after that? Who else will it be?
"That’s right! My uncle is only with you because he’s montarily infatuated! Don’t think you can truly beco our aunt! I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!"
Su Xiaong’s eyes hurt... they really hurt...
"Hey, why aren’t you saying anything!"
"...What should I say?"
When Su Xiaong spoke again, her voice was a bit hoarse.
"Just, at the very least, you should assure us that in the future, you’ll treat us well and not bully us because you’re aunt, right?"
Shan Minglang said.
"...What aunt? She’s not even worthy!"
Shan Mingxu snorted, "I’m telling you, we brought you here today to teach you a small lesson, so you’d know to keep a low profile in the future! My uncle likes you now, but that’s just for novelty! Don’t overstep your bounds!"
Overstep your bounds...
"If you dare to speak recklessly in front of my uncle, Minglang and I will make sure you suffer!"
"Yeah, yeah! You can act all pure and adorable in front of my uncle, but that act won’t work on us!"
"I don’t even know what my uncle is thinking? There’s such a big fight with my grandparents over you."
"Su Xiaong, if my uncle fights with my grandparents over you again in the future, we won’t let you off!"
Shan Minglang said seriously!
Su Xiaong roughly understood... what they ant.
"So... you tied up today just to warn about this... is that it?"
"Yes, to give you a lesson, so you’ll know your place in the future!"
Shan Mingxu said angrily!
Su Xiaong’s fists clenched slightly, and the defiance in her heart surged up untily!
Knowing full well that nodding now, saying a couple of lines like "I understand, I know" would spare her from suffering...
But her choked throat couldn’t produce such placating words.
"Don’t you dare let go."
Su Xiaong said coldly.
Shan Minglang was stunned, "Wha, what did you say?"
"I said don’t let out! Otherwise, I’ll call the police! I’ll report you for kidnapping! I’ll tell that scoundrel Yin Shixiu to deal with you!"
Shan Minglang’s face turned stiff, while Shan Mingxu’s entire face turned dark!
The atmosphere in the underground storage room imdiately froze, and the damp air seed to turn into ice particles, exuding chilliness.
Shan Mingxu walked up to Su Xiaong, reached out and pinched her chin, his grip unrelenting.
Su Xiaong’s head heated up in pain.
"Who do you think my uncle is?"
Who is he? No matter how powerful he is, he’s still just a person, not a god! What’s so great about that?!
"Soone like my uncle, even Miss World might not be worthy of him. Who do you think you are? Huh?"
Miss World?
"If you weren’t acting cute, innocent, naïve, and pitiful, do you think my uncle would notice you?"
"You brat, acting is a skill too, what do you know?!"
Su Xiaong endured the pain in her chin and cursed back imdiately!
Shan Mingxu’s face darkened again, "So, if we let you go back today... we’re dood?"
"Yes! I will make sure you two brats regret it! Regret it for life!"
Look down on her! Again, look down on her?!
Why? On what basis do they look down on her?!
Su Xiaong’s heart ached... nearly to death.
What did she do wrong? To be humiliated again and again...
It seed like anyone could point their finger at her and accuse her, like anyone could label her without knowing anything!
She’s dating Yin Shixiu, and everyone thinks Yin Shixiu is at a loss, everyone thinks she’s despicable and shaless, trying to hold onto Yin Shixiu’s leg...
"Fine, then we’ll leave you here to starve!"
Shan Mingxu tossed out these words and then said to Shan Minglang, "Let’s go!"
Shan Minglang hesitated for a mont, looking at Shan Mingxu with wide eyes, very hesitant.
Shan Mingxu frowned, glanced at him, and Shan Minglang lowered his head and followed Shan Mingxu out of the storage room.
The door opened and closed again, and the basent imdiately returned to a deathly silence.
Su Xiaong’s eyes were still blindfolded, but the cloth over her eyes was slowly getting wet...
She didn’t want to cry.
But the anger, grievance, injustice, discomfort, and ongoing fear in her heart... suffocated her.
Where... is this place...
Is there anyone...
Will she just die here... and no one will know?
She curled up her body, but realized that her bulging belly left her unable to even do that.
It’s so cold here... her hands and feet were so cold they were becoming stiff.
You bastard uncle... where are you...
As soon as Shan Minglang left the basent, he gathered closely to Shan Mingxu, nervously asking, "Bro, you’re not really planning to... with Auntie Xiao, are you?"
Shan Mingxu glanced at him, "Why do you call her Auntie Xiao so smoothly?"
Shan Minglang thought for a mont, then smiled, "Even though she’s just a year older than us, we have to call her Auntie Xiao... I find it quite cute."
Shan Mingxu glared at him, "Cute my foot! Didn’t you hear how she was earlier? If we don’t give her a big lesson, who knows how she’ll harm us in the future!"
"If she really bullies us, the most we can do is just stay away from her!"
Shan Minglang said earnestly, "I just hope she doesn’t always make Uncle worry. She just got married, and she’s already causing conflict between Uncle, Grandpa, and Grandma..."
"Anyway, leave her here locked up for the night! We’ll co back tomorrow... I don’t believe she won’t learn her lesson."
Shan Mingxu said.
"Uh... won’t she freeze to death?"
"She won’t!"
"...Will she starve to death?"
"Have you ever seen soone starve to death overnight? We’ll co early tomorrow and give her so food, it’ll be fine."
"...Oh, okay then."
Shan Minglang agreed, but felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.
The two walked side by side down the mountain path.
This was Jiuling Mountain, the mountain paths twisted and turned, very chaotic.
There were few people, only two vacation villas, one of which belonged to the Yin Family.
Shan Minglang and Shan Mingxu had left Su Xiaong at this Yin Family vacation villa.
They were confident that no one would co looking soon.
Just for one night, they felt nothing would go wrong...
Yin Shixiu waited in the apartnt for a whole night, the living room filled with smoke, the ashtray on the coffee table piled high with cigarette butts.
The sky showed faint gray light, the day... was about to break.
And Su Xiaong... hadn’t co back.
Yin Shixiu thought back and forth all night, unable to figure out where she had gone.
The security guard said the last ti he saw Xiao ng was when she returned after buying so pan-fried buns...
But after buying buns... she didn’t co ho.
He checked the surveillance from the neighborhood, only seeing Xiao ng leave the building, not returning into it.
Glanced at his watch, opened his phone which he had already checked countless tis...
Four thirty.
He got up, put on a jacket, grabbed his car keys, and walked out the door.
Only one possibility.
When Yin Shixiu’s car stopped at the gate of the Yin Family Old Mansion at five in the morning, the dozing guard in the security room was startled!
He opened the door, stopping mid-greeting by the ghastly expression on Yin Shixiu’s face!
The car sped into the courtyard!
The screech of drifting tires startled the birds that were still dozing.
This made the Yin Family mansion, still not awakened, shrouded in a layer of urgency, like a storm... unsettling even in dreams.
Yin Shixiu stood at the door of Zheng Garden, impatiently pressing the doorbell!
"Coming, coming! Who is it?"
The maid hurriedly ran to open the door, still in her pajamas with a coat thrown on!
Seeing Yin Shixiu standing outside, she was startled, "Fourth Young Master? What brings you here?"
Yin Shixiu strode in with a cold face, calling out as soon as he entered, "Xiaong! Su Xiaong!"
"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master! What are you doing? The Master and Madam are still sleeping?"
"Su Xiaong!"
As he shouted, he checked the first-floor rooms one by one!
Soon, all the maids in Zheng Garden were up, seeing Yin Shixiu with a grim face, they all stood aside, not daring to say a word.
As he was about to go upstairs...
Yin Shaohui also with a stern face, stood at the top of the stairs.
The father and son faced each other, one above and one below, both with unpleasant expressions.
"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
Yin Shaohui shouted in a deep voice!
"Where did you hide Xiaong?"
Yin Shixiu’s voice turned cold as he asked.
Yin Shaohui frowned, "What are you asking ?"
"Where exactly did you hide Su Xiaong?!"
"Fourth, is this how you speak to your father?!"
"You took my wife! How do you want to speak to you?!"
