"Are you scared now? Huh?" Sheng Yuan deliberately leaned closer and lowered his voice, "If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have walked onto the Naihe Bridge by now."

Lin Mingmo was indeed still frightened.

But she said stubbornly: "What are you afraid of? I don't believe Sheng Yang really dares to kill me!"

"At eight, I buried a stray cat that had wandered into the garden. At ten, I slashed the maid's face with a knife and fork. At thirteen, I broke the caddy's leg with a golf club..."

Sheng Yuan recounted Sheng Yang's past "great achievements" one by one.

"Although his father criticized him, strictly speaking, he was not punished."

Every scene seems to be something out of an American horror movie.

Lin Mingmo has a strong ability to associate ideas. The more she listened, the more panicked she became.

Finally, she grabbed Sheng Yuan's clothes with one hand and covered her chest with the other hand, feeling her heart pounding.

Finally, she complained slightly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Sheng Yang was that kind of person?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Sheng Yuan's stern face. "Will you listen if I tell you? Huh? I've reminded you countless times that Sheng Yang is definitely not the 'silly landlord' you expected him to be."

In Sheng Yuan's mind, Sheng Yang has always been a dangerous person.

It was a heavily wrapped bomb, and the detonator was in his own hands.

"But..." Lin Mingmo wanted to make some excuses.

She wanted to say that she just wanted Sheng Yang to hate her, and took the initiative to propose to cancel the engagement in front of the Sheng family.

I think if it weren't for Sheng Yuan, my plan would have taken a long time and I would never have acted so impulsively.

She just wanted to take a risk and see if she could get out of this environment as soon as possible.

I want to say...

There is so much I want to say.

But Sheng Yuan didn't give her a chance to speak. He reached out and rubbed Lin Mingmo's head, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

After so long, the marks of being strangled on Lin Mingmo's neck not only did not fade, but became deeper.

Lin Mingmo was confused.

I thought I was hallucinating.

After all, that gentle and caring question didn't seem like something Sheng Yuan could say.

Lin Mingmo shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt. And... thank you for what you said, I've remembered it. I won't do that again..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Sheng Yuan grabbed her wrist.

"Go to the hospital."

"It's not that serious!" Lin Mingmo's first reaction was to refuse. "And if you take me to the hospital, Sheng Yang...what if he gets suspicious..."

There is a secret between her and Sheng Yuan that cannot be told. If Sheng Yang knew about it, it would definitely become a handle to blackmail them.

"This is not something you should worry about!" Sheng Yuan's tone returned to cold and serious.

Lin Mingmo had no choice but to take a deep breath and left here with Sheng Yuan in disappointment.

I went all the way to the underground garage and found the black Maybach S900, which is also the only one in Jiangjin City.

Sheng Yuan opened the car door for Lin Mingmo in a gentlemanly manner.

Lin Mingmo got into the car and was immediately enveloped by a fresh and pleasant mint aroma.

While waiting for Sheng Yuan to get in the car, she couldn't help but wonder, was Sheng Yuan so considerate to every girlfriend he had before?

It seemed... the Sheng Yuan she met was different from the Sheng Yuan in the rumors she had heard before.

Sheng Yuan glanced at Lin Mingmo and seeing that she didn't move, he simply leaned over and fastened the seat belt for her.

Lin Mingmo only felt something passing in front of her, with a calm pine scent, blending with the mint smell in the car, forming a collision yet harmonious atmosphere.

Sheng Yuan turned around and started the car, and Lin Mingmo came back to her senses.

She blushed.

"I...you can remind me..." Lin Mingmo said nervously, holding the seat belt with both hands.

I didn't expect Sheng Yuan to be so considerate.

There are very few women who would not fall for this...

Along the way, Lin Mingmo closed her eyes and dozed off.

I don't know how long it took before the car came to a steady stop. Sheng Yuan's deep and pleasant voice reached my ears, "We're here."

Only then did Lin Mingmo open her eyes and look.

The surrounding environment doesn’t look like a hospital, but rather... the Sheng family mansion?

Lin Mingmo turned her head in surprise and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Sheng Yuan lowered his raised lips, his expression serious. "First, I have nothing to do with you. Second, it's safer for you to stay in the old house. Later, go to the old lady and cry, and show her the bruises on your neck."

Lin Mingmo frowned and responded, "First, okay, I got it. Second, grandma's health is not good, I'd better not upset her over such a small matter..."

Sheng Yuan's eyes darkened.

"Aren't you supposed to listen to me?"

"But I..." Lin Mingmo wanted to defend herself.

But when she met Sheng Yuan's cold eyes, goose bumps instantly appeared on her body.

Okay, okay, anyway she felt more comfortable living in the Sheng family mansion.

Lin Mingmo got out of the car, calmed herself down, and walked towards the yard where the old lady lived with tears in her eyes.

When Old Lady Sheng saw Lin Mingmo from afar, she was surprised at first, but when she saw the expression on Lin Mingmo's face, her face instantly fell.

"Grandma..." Lin Mingmo called out with a sob, then threw herself on Old Lady Sheng's knees and cried pitifully.

"Oh my! What happened to Momo? Did Ayang bully you?" Old Madam Sheng asked anxiously and concernedly, "Tell grandma, I'll take care of it for you."

Lin Mingmo raised her head and looked at the old lady with her tearful eyes.

She didn't say it explicitly, but the marks on her neck were clearly visible.

The old lady understood instantly, and many complex emotions flashed in her cloudy eyes.

I felt both pity and sympathy for the little girl, as well as anger. Of course, I was more concerned about how to calm the situation down.

"Momo, how could Ayang make you like this? He is so ignorant. Grandma will definitely criticize him!" Old Lady Sheng said righteously.

Lin Mingmo sobbed and took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, I want to stay here to take care of you... Sheng Yang and I..."

Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Sheng interrupted her with a serious face.

"Momo, grandma knows you've been wronged. Ayang is a bit impulsive, but he's still young, so you need to be more tolerant..."

Lin Mingmo's expression froze, and her eyes became a little incredulous.

The usually kind and benevolent face of the grandmother in front of me suddenly became sharp.

"Momo, your most urgent task right now is to have a child. Once you have a child, Ayang will become a father and will naturally mature..."

"I'll have a good word with Ayang."

Hearing what Old Lady Sheng said, Lin Mingmo's heart sank little by little.

At the same time, she also understood the old lady's attitude.

All the care that Old Lady Sheng showed towards her was simply because she was the wife chosen by the Sheng family for Sheng Yang.

She is a tool for carrying on the family line and a lucky charm for the compatible horoscopes, but she is not an independent person.

After all, Old Madam Sheng and Sheng Yang are the closest relatives connected by blood.
