Cui Ziqi's face was gloomy, and he was surrounded by a terrifying killing intent.
Grandma Cui was so frightened by his appearance that she turned pale and clutched her chest, barely able to breathe.
"Look, look! This kind of little beast who's always ready to bite shouldn't have been allowed into the main building!"
"grandmother!"
Cui Mingrui and Cui Kai sat down on either side of Grandma Cui, patting her chest to comfort her.
"Grandma, don't be angry, I'll kick them out right now!"
Cui Mingrui stood up and glared coldly at Xia Wan and Cui Ziqi.
"Get out of here!"
Cui Nan said, "No one is allowed to drive them away."
Cui Nan's eyes were cold. She was a woman of her word, and Cui Mingrui didn't dare to argue with her.
"aunt!"
Cui Mingrui did not understand Cui Nan's actions.
Cui Nan frowned as she looked at Cui's grandmother.
"Mom, if you don't want to see them, have Mingrui and Xiaokai take you back to your room."
"Nannan!"
"Mom, listen to me."
Grandma Cui glared at Cui Nan in disappointment. At Cui Nan's signal, Cui Mingrui and Cui Kai helped her back to her room.
After the three left, the living room was empty.
Cui Nan called over a servant, "Go and prepare two rooms for the young master and this young lady to stay in."
Xia Wan smiled speechlessly upon hearing Cui Nan's instructions.
"Does the young master's room need to be prepared at the last minute?"
Her clear voice sounded mocking, and Cui Nan's expression became quite interesting.
Xia Wan looked at Cui Ziqi.
"Where did you live when you were with the Cui family? In that small bungalow on the back hill?"
Cui Ziqi pointed outside.
Thinking of that simple bungalow, he frowned again and looked at Xia Wan.
"Shall we go back tonight?"
Xia Wan shook her head. "It's going to rain. You're injured and it's inconvenient for you to drive, and I can't drive."
Cui Ziqi: ...
"Let's stay in your room tonight. It's still early before dinner, so take me around the Cui family's house before it rains."
As she spoke, Xia Wan looked at Cui Nan and said, "When we eat, your aunt should give your old lady a good talking-to. Don't call her a beast or a mad dog so easily. She's practically on her deathbed. She should watch her mouth."
After saying that, he ignored Cui Nan's unpleasant expression.
Xia Wan then took Cui Ziqi on a tour of the entire villa.
When Cui Kai returned, he happened to hear those words.
Thinking of how he had been bullied by these two people in the Demon Realm, his palms still seemed to ache faintly.
Today is the perfect day to settle both old and new scores!
“Auntie, I’ll go with them so they won’t do any petty theft in our house.”
Cui Kai was about to follow when Cui Nan stopped him.
“Ziqi is our family. What kind of petty theft would he do?”
Cui Kai wanted to refute.
Cui Nan beckoned to him, and he moved closer.
"I have another task for you, go..."
Upon hearing this, Cui Kai's eyes began to light up.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll take care of it right away!"
Cui Kai left.
Cui Nan's lips curled into a smug smile. She would let Xia Wan know that it was easy to enter the Cui family, but difficult to leave!
...
The sky was dark, and a mist was shrouding the manor in the distance.
The gloomy environment inevitably makes people feel depressed.
Cui Ziqi finally asked the question that had been bothering her.
Why did you come here today?
"I've come to find you!"
Xia Wan blurted out the answer, as if she had prepared it in her mind for a long time.
She looked at Cui Ziqi with a resentful expression, "If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have never come back?"
Cui Ziqi immediately looked away.
"You didn't go home last night either, did you?"
How did you know?
“I asked the doctor to give you a follow-up examination, and they said you didn’t go home all night.”
Xia Wan understood. "So you saw me leave yesterday but didn't chase after me. After continuing your date with Xia Zhizhi, you still came back here?"
Cui Ziqi looked at Xia Wan with gritted teeth.
"I didn't go on a date with her!"
Each word was pronounced very heavily.
Xia Wan scoffed and muttered, "They've already done it, and now they don't even let people say anything."
Cui Ziqi decided to remain silent.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The Cui family's manor was very large, with a large garden at the back.
The Cui family must really love roses; their garden is full of them, including rare blue roses.
What place is that?
Xia Wan pointed to a two-story villa in the corner of the garden.
The little house looks very new, surrounded by a sea of bright red roses, with flower trellises on the outside deliberately decorated with fresh roses, covering the entire little house.
Cui Ziqi paused, her gaze suddenly turning cold.
"This is a forbidden area."
"Forbidden area?" Xia Wan looked at Cui Ziqi in confusion. "Have you ever been inside?"
The reason she asked that question was because she felt that Cui Ziqi was a certain way.
Knowing that his mother's ashes were in Cui Jiyang's hands, he would definitely try to find them himself first.
And this forbidden area may contain You Shuang's ashes.
Cui Ziqi will probably try to get in.
Sure enough, Cui Ziqi nodded honestly.
"I've been inside."
What's inside?
Xia Wan asked.
Cui Ziqi looked at Xia Wan, seemingly hesitant about whether or not to tell her.
After a two-second silence, he finally spoke.
"My mother is inside."
Xia Wan's eyes widened suddenly. She had thought that You Shuang's ashes were inside, but she didn't expect that Cui Ziqi would find them!
Now that he has found it, why has he been used by Cui Jiyang all these years?
Cui Ziqi looked at the small villa and then spoke.
“My mother’s memorial tablet, photos, and everything she used in her lifetime.”
