Chapter 239 Truly Mad

“It’s you…Leaf!” The old man lowered his head, picked up the mask next to him, rubbed it in his hands a few times, and then put it on his face.

His dark, metallic mask concealed deep, unfathomable blue eyes that gazed at her with unfathomable emotion.

She wore a long white dress, her long, black hair cascading down her back. She stood tall and slender in the shadows, and for a moment, he seemed to see another woman through her...

"You...you hurt your hand? Let me bandage it for you!" Leaf, also known as Ye Zhishu, quickly picked up a small first-aid kit from a nearby cabinet and hurried over.

She quickly knelt down on one knee and carefully took the man's injured hand in her arms.

He looked down at her with disdain, staring at her humble, bowed head.

Without a word, he suddenly grabbed her hair, forcing her to crane her neck and meet his gaze!

A bloodthirsty madness crept across his lips as he brought his bleeding hand to her lips!

"Leaf, taste it and tell me, what does my blood taste like?"

"Yes, sir."

Ye Zhishu's throat tightened.

Looking at the glaring scars so close at hand, and smelling the heavy stench of blood!

As a doctor, she had seen scenes a hundred times more terrifying than this, so she wasn't afraid of bloodshed. What she feared was the oppressive aura and madness emanating from the master!

The hair was loosened.

Ye Zhishu leaned forward, mentally preparing herself a hundred times. But when her lips actually touched that glaring red, she felt a churning in her stomach, immediately pushed the hand away, and knelt on the ground, dry heaving!

Before she could recover, a leg kicked her from behind, knocking her to the ground.

She lay on the ground, in pain and terror, kowtowing repeatedly, "Master! Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

"Useless! She can't even do this simple thing, yet she dares to boast that she's better than Ah Shui in everything... no, I should call her Wen Ni?"

The old man spoke slowly, his tone sarcastic and unsettling.

He squatted down in front of Ye Zhishu, turned her face towards him, and when he saw the tears in her eyes, he became even more displeased and slapped her twice!

“What are you crying for! I hate women’s tears the most! They’re filthy and ridiculous! It’s all deception! ... If Wen Ni were here, she would obediently follow my orders and lick away these sweet bloodstains! She wouldn’t shed a tear; instead, she would stand straight in front of me and ask me what else she could ask for…”

The old man alternated between rage and maniacal laughter, but his grip on Ye Zhishu's face tightened even more. "And what about you? Besides meekly bandaging my wounds, what else can you do? You're such a disgusting and disappointing thing!"

"I...I'm not like her!"

Ye Zhishu was struck on a sore spot. She suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot and filled with resentment and anger. "I am not her. Don't compare me to her!"

Her appearance made the man's eyes light up!

He lowered his eyes, and with his slender fingers, he picked up a dead fish from the ground. The fish's belly was still stained with the blood that had dripped from his palm.

"Baby, eat it now and prove to me your determination to surpass Wen Ni!"

"Eat...eat it?"

Ye Zhishu's eyes were filled with shock, but it was quickly replaced by jealousy and hatred.

Her body trembled uncontrollably as she reached out and took the dead fish. With her eyes closed and a determined bite, she took a hard bite!

The fishy smell mixed with the smell of blood was so strong and unpleasant that it made people feel physically nauseous.

But she still forced herself to swallow it, despite the discomfort!

Because she knew in her heart that, given the master's temperament, if she couldn't do it, she would probably face certain death.

"Hahaha! Not bad! Not bad at all!"

The man clapped excitedly, then suddenly reached out and pulled her face towards him, planting a strong kiss on her forehead!

This startled Ye Zhishu.

Immediately, a large hand grabbed her waist, causing her to lean forward slightly. He sat with his legs apart, looking down at her and lifting her chin!

“Leaf, the hatred in your eyes excites me! It makes me eager to entrust you with something! But before that…”

The old man's eyes were dull.

His large hand stroked her hair, finally settling on her eyebrows and eyes, before continuing, "I'll give you a chance first, to please me..."

"Yes, sir."

My heart was pounding.

A slender, white hand was imprinted on a firm, muscular leg.

Her eyes were misty and brimming with tears, yet they also shone brightly, revealing her deep ambition!

Wenni.

One day I will surpass you and destroy you! I will make you return everything you took from me and everything I lost!

"Um……"

The night was light and slightly tinged with white.

The room inside the floor-to-ceiling windows is beautiful, and everyone is in high spirits...

As dawn broke, golden sunlight shone upon the earth.

The Lu family mansion in Gotham City

Wen Ni woke up naturally in the afternoon.

In the huge restaurant, she was the only one sitting there, eating... [breakfast].

Aunt Liu and the housekeeper stood to the side, watching with smiling eyes.

"Miss Wen Ni, please eat slowly, there's no rush."

"There's still a sea cucumber soup in the kitchen that's not ready yet. It was specially requested by Mr. Lu for you so that you can nourish your body. He said you're too thin!"

"Okay, please thank Grandpa Lu for me." Wen Ni nodded, forked a shrimp, and suddenly thought, "Where are Xiao Cheng and the others?"

"It's the weekend today, and young master Wen Cheng went back to Baoxiangzhai with Boss Xiao and the others."

"You went back?" Wen Ni raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Cheng had previously said that he wanted to study hard and learn how to do business, and now he even goes to the store on weekends. It seems that he has really become diligent and serious!

Just thinking

Two voices came from the direction of the stairs, getting closer and closer, and Wen Ni could vaguely hear the gist of them.

"Master Lu, the people I sent to investigate yesterday have just sent back news that it was the Hua family who went to Phoenix Village to investigate Miss Wen Ni!" It was Baron's voice.

"The Hua family? How come..." Lu Jinye paused. His gaze met Wen Ni's in the restaurant!

He stopped talking to Baron about the previous topic, turned and went to the restaurant, his gaze sweeping over the half-eaten food left on the table in front of Wen Ni.

"When did you wake up? What's wrong? Don't you like the food?"

"There's too much, I can't eat it all, but these are all my favorite dishes. Please thank Grandpa Lu for me!" Wen Ni scooped up another spoonful of sponge cake and ate it with great relish.

“Miss Nini, actually all these dishes were prepared by our Master Lu!” Baron chimed in, adding, “Except for the sea cucumber soup, of course.”

These meals were actually prepared by Lu Jinye's people?

He really knows her preferences very well!

Wen Ni continued eating, naturally concealing her surprise. She nodded calmly to Lu Jinye, "Thank you!"

"Being too polite with me is a bit too formal." Lu Jinye pulled out a chair and sat down, casually poured a glass of warm water, and pushed it in front of Wen Ni.

Wen Ni picked up the glass and took a sip.

So smooth and natural that she didn't even realize there was anything wrong with it!

The servants watching this scene were astonished, but then they exchanged knowing glances and smiled knowingly.

"By the way, what does the Hua family you mentioned earlier do?" Wen Ni picked up a tissue to wipe her hands and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
