After Chen Xi left, Xiao Mei had a question that she kept asking after much thought: "Master, why did my grandparents borrow someone else's life?"

Chen Xi said: "This is a long story, but don't worry, your grandma will come to find you soon, and then you will know."

At the end, he added: "It can be regarded as a tragic yet beautiful love story. It's just a pity..."

Xiaomei didn't quite understand. Her round eyes were filled with confusion. "Love?"

Before she could figure it out, the big iron gate in the yard started to clang.

Amidst the loud sound of kicking the door, there was the old woman's angry curse: "Little bastard, open the door for me!"

Xiaomei looked towards the door in surprise, "Master, should I go open the door?"

Chen Xi said calmly: "Go open the door, maybe you will know the answer to your doubts?"

Chen Xi was still very relieved about these two old guys.

Don’t ask why, the answer is that the luck charm in their secret room was drawn wrong.

Generally speaking, apart from the porcelain doll's life-borrowing technique, they know nothing else.

Hearing this, Xiaomei knew she was safe and opened the door angrily.

"It's you, isn't it?"

When the old lady saw the door open, she pulled Xiaomei's clothes and spoke first, looking very flustered.

Xiaomei didn't intend to beat around the bush with her, so she pushed him away in annoyance and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

The old lady was startled by the sharp tone of the question, but she quickly recovered and said in a pleading tone, "Xiaomei, I'm begging you, please return the things to me. Your grandfather is dying, and I can't live without him."

"You can't live without grandpa? Then I can live without mom and dad?" Xiaomei asked loudly with a look of disgust!

"You are so selfish and disgusting!"

"This is what you owe me. I'm just asking for some interest." The old lady raised her voice to defend herself, her tone full of hatred.

"I don't care about all that. I just ask why you did this. Dad is your son. How could you have the heart to do this..." Xiaomei's eyes were red. She felt sorry for her father and disgusted for having such a relative.

"Son?" The old woman sneered as if she had heard a huge joke. "What son? Can a child born under duress be called a son?"

"If your grandfather wasn't kind-hearted, I would have strangled him to death. I've raised him for so many years, so what if I just want his life now? He owes us this."

Xiaomei's eyes showed deep surprise, and she was completely shocked by her words. What kind of person could say such cruel words?

It completely refreshed her worldview!

The old lady was obsessed with her husband. Knowing that her granddaughter was soft-hearted, she pulled Xiaomei's sleeve again and said flatteringly:

"Good boy, don't worry about it. Where's the porcelain doll? Return it to me first. Your grandfather is dying. If you delay any longer, he will die."

After thinking for a moment and looking at the surroundings, he tempted her: "Give me the things, and I'll go back and give you all my family's wealth, okay..."

The more Xiaomei listened, the funnier it became. What was the point of having that money when her closest relatives were gone? In her seventeen years of life, this was the first time she felt that the good and evil of people were so clearly defined. It was also the first time she realized that not all parents loved their children.

Looking at the old man in front of her again, Xiaomei felt that he was extremely pitiful. What kind of education could make a person's heart so dirty?

Her eyes were filled with pity: "Go back and collect your lover's body. I have already destroyed the things!"

The old woman stumbled a few steps, looking at the girl in front of her in panic, hoping she would take back what she had said: "No, it's impossible, you are talking nonsense!"

"Yes, you must be talking nonsense. My things are not something that an ordinary person like you can destroy. You must be talking nonsense." The old lady's voice became louder and louder.

Xiaomei was getting a headache from the noise. Not wanting to disturb her mother's rest, she stared intently at her so-called grandmother and said in a deep voice, word by word, "Everything I said is true."

"As for how to crack the thing, it was an expert who helped me." Xiaomei approached her grandmother, whispered in her ear, and said sarcastically, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that my dear grandmother actually wanted us three to pay for your lives!"

The old woman gasped and clenched her fists.

"What master?"

"Heh..." Xiaomei took a few steps back and said contemptuously, "She is a master who is more powerful than you. Your little tricks are nothing but childish tricks in her eyes. So I advise you not to do such evil things again. Be careful that you will end up losing more than you gain!"

The old lady didn't know what kind of master he was, but from Xiao Mei's words, she knew that her porcelain doll was indeed broken by this master. When she considered the traces of damage in the secret room, she panicked!

No!

She is unwilling to accept it!

She wanted to go back and speed up the production of the new porcelain doll. She would not allow anyone to take her husband's life, not even the underworld!

After all these years, she won't give up and won't allow any accidents to happen!

The old lady glared at Xiaomei resentfully and said, "I'll come back to settle the score with you later! Just wait!"

As I took a step, my cell phone rang.

"What?!"

I don’t know what they said, but the old lady looked like she had lost her soul!

Xiaomei frowned, seeing that she was in such a panic that she couldn't even lift her feet to take a step.

Chen Xi said at this time: "Your grandfather is gone!"

"What?" Xiaomei didn't expect that he would die in such a short while!

But it’s better this way, so they don’t harm others again!

Xiaomei just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the old lady over there order: "Bring them over to me."

Immediately afterwards, two burly bodyguards rushed in from outside the door.

Xiaomei's arm was pressed down, and she angrily said, "What are you doing, you old witch?"

"What? If Old Wu is no longer able to make it, I will let you be buried with him!" The old lady gritted her teeth and said this, then walked out first.

Xiaomei and her mother were also taken into the car by two bodyguards and drove towards the Wu family's old house.

During this time, her mother didn't wake up, which made Xiaomei feel a lot more at ease.

After getting off the car, Xiaomei saw that the Wu family was busy and knew that the master was right.

At the same time, as for his own personal safety, he was not too worried because the master was there. With the mentality of watching the show, he followed the old lady step by step.

Seeing the lifeless old man on the bed, the old woman's sunken eyes were empty and lifeless, revealing a sense of numbness and despair. Her toothless mouth moved, but made a groaning sound in the trembling, and her words were unclear and difficult to distinguish.
