After I was murdered, my scumbag uncle went completely crazy

I shuddered, frightened by the cruelty in his tone.

But he thought I was frightened by the name Jiu Ye and was very satisfied with my reaction.

But my mind was in a mess and I just answered him casually.

"Okay, I, I understand..."

I looked at him nervously, trying to think of an excuse to leave.

Unexpectedly, the man actually waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go now."

I quickly turned around and ran, staying for even a second longer would be courting death.

Whether it is the relationship between him, Su Muyan and Chi Xi, or the Ninth Master he mentioned, it makes me feel terrified.

Behind me, the man's warning came softly.

"Remember, complete Master Jiu's mission as soon as possible."

"Also, remember your own identity. You are just a stand-in."

"Don't think that you can really become Qiao Xi just by getting plastic surgery to look like her. In his heart, you are just a substitute."

"If you don't want to die miserably, you'd better not fall in love with him!"

I didn't dare look back and trotted out of the villa.

When I ran out of the door, the feeling of having survived a disaster made my legs go weak and I almost fell to the ground.

I took out my cell phone and wanted to call Qin Feng.

But when I saw Qin Feng’s number, I came to my senses. What should I say to him?

I don't have a single memory of this man in my mind.

It can even be easily analyzed from his few words that he and Chi Xi have a deep connection.

Maybe I didn't do anything to him, but I got hurt instead.

Moreover, what he said involved too many things and contained too many mysteries.

What? Chi Xi had plastic surgery to look like me, and even Su Muyan told Fu Nanzhou about him, and Fu Nanzhou was investigating him.

I don’t even know what role Gu Hanting plays in this.

The most important thing is that he said Gu Hanting regarded Chi Xi as my substitute.

So every time he calls Xixi, he is actually calling me?

What about Grandpa Gu? Does he know about these things?

The warmth and kindness he showed when he saw me yesterday didn't seem like he was treating a stranger at all.

Could it be that he also mistook me for Qiao Xi?

The bodyguard had been waiting in a car not far away. Seeing that I was not in good condition, he quickly got out and came over.

"Miss Chi, are you okay?"

He looked at me worriedly, then looked at the villa behind me.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that the man seems to be in some corner of the villa, quietly observing my reaction.

I was afraid he might notice something, so I quickly told the bodyguard, "I'm fine, let's go."

The bodyguard looked at the villa again, but didn't ask anything and turned to get in the car.

The car turned around and drove past the villa gate.

I took a quick look inside through the car window.

He only dared to take a glance and then quickly looked away.

When I thought of the ferocious look in the man's eyes, I felt like there was a knife on my neck and I dared not be careless at all.

When I got back to the apartment, I hurried into the elevator and held my arms nervously as I waited for the elevator to go up.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I rushed out.

As a result, as soon as he rushed out, he bumped into someone's arms.

The familiar woody scent reminded me that this person was Gu Hanting.

He hugged me tightly, his voice gentle and concerned, "What's wrong? It feels like there's a dog chasing you."

There was a smile in his voice, but I just felt creepy.

I hugged him back tightly, hard, as if I wanted to draw some sense of security from him.

"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable."

Gu Hanting's voice was also low and hoarse, but his was a normal tone, different from that man's.

As soon as he heard me say that I was not feeling well, Gu Hanting immediately raised his hand and touched my forehead.

Realizing that he was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You're not feeling well and you're still running around. Should I carry you back to lie down for a while?"

"it is good."

Gu Hanting leaned over, picked me up and carried me sideways, then walked back to the apartment carefully.

He opened the door, carried me into the bedroom, and put me on the bed.

He touched my pale face and said, "What happened? You don't look uncomfortable, but more like you are scared!"

I didn't expect him to be so perceptive and could tell at a glance that I was scared.

After thinking for a while, I tentatively said, "I went to the Qiao family's old house today, and there... I met someone."

When he heard that I went to the Qiao family's old house, Gu Hanting's face looked a little bad.

When he heard that I met someone there, he immediately asked, "Who is it? Fu Nanzhou?"

"Xixi, listen to me, no matter what he says to you, don't believe him anymore."

"He's not a good person. He will only make you sad and hurt you."

I opened my eyes and looked straight at him.

Slowly, "But... I'm not familiar with Fu Nanzhou, and he has never done anything to me?"

"Why do you say that?"

Gu Hanting was stunned, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Then, he slowly said, "He hasn't done anything to you now, but he has a bad nature and will do something to hurt you sooner or later."

"Anyway, you'd better stay away from him."

I looked at Gu Hanting's handsome face with clear edges and corners, and I felt a chill in my heart.

There is no grudge between Chi Xi and Fu Nanzhou, the one who has grudge is Qiao Xi.

He really mistook Chi Xi for me.

He really...has always loved me!

But why? He and I don't know each other.

Why does he love me so much?

For a moment, I didn't know how to face him.

I looked away, "I know. I'll stay away from him."

Gu Hanting seemed relieved. Seeing that I kept my head turned away and didn't look at him, he held my hand uneasily.

"You're angry?"

I shook my head. How could I be angry because he didn't allow me to meet Fu Nanzhou?

I just... suddenly realized that he has always loved me, and I don’t know how to face it.

And the most important thing is that I have to continue to be with him despite Ji Xi's face.

I also couldn't tell him that the person I saw in the villa today was not Fu Nanzhou.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Gu Hanting felt a little aggrieved. He held my face with his hands and forced me to look at him.

"Xixi..."

"I'm really fine." I sighed and forced myself to look him in the eye.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe I'm too tired."

He stared at me carefully, as if to confirm whether I was lying.

Then he couldn't bear to push me anymore and stroked my cheek with his fingers.

"Then lie down and rest for a while. I'll make you something to eat."

I lay down and was a little surprised to hear this.

"Can you still cook?"

Gu Hanting laughed, "Do I look like someone who has never touched water?"

"After all, you are a rich and noble young man!" I curled my lips.

He looked at me and said, "You are also a spoiled rich girl, you know everything, don't you?"

I subconsciously replied, "I'm different from you. When my mother was alive, she often told me..."
