Xu Yilan glanced at Lu Sixue. She originally wanted Lu Sixue to help her make lunch, but Lu Sixue looked pale and haggard. Although she was pregnant, her body was still very thin.
Seeing this, Xu Yilan didn't want to let Lu Sixue work in the kitchen. She could only sigh and let Lu Sixue rest while she went to the restaurant to prepare.
Lu Sixue walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa tiredly. She pinched her eyebrows with her hands and took deep breaths to slowly relieve the discomfort in her abdomen.
In the past two months, Lu Sixue and the Song family have been living a nightmare.
Ever since the news came back that Song Yuxing had a plane crash and no one was found, Song's mother Song 㫅 had gone mad.
They refused to meet any of the relatives who came to express their condolences, and instead invited a charlatan who was a famous master and who had successfully predicted a volcanic eruption after high temperature and drought.
That charlatan also said that he could transfer the soul of a dead person into his body...
After hearing this, Lu Sixue just wanted to call 110 to report the incident and have this charlatan arrested and sent to a mental hospital!
But something incredible happened—Song Xu’s mother actually believed what this charlatan said!
They let this charlatan perform a ritual to transfer the dead boy's youngest son Song Yuxing into Lu Sixue's belly!
Lu Sixue found it incredible when she heard this!
It is 2026 now, not 1826. Even the toothless old ladies in the countryside don’t believe in such a scam. Both Mr. and Mrs. Song are highly educated intellectuals who once managed a huge Song Group. How could they believe such nonsense!
But Song Xu and her mother were like possessed by demons, especially Song's mother, who performed rituals around Lu Sixue every day.
Song Yuhan couldn't persuade his mother, and felt that the atmosphere at home was weird and scary, so he simply left home under the pretext of looking for a job and left Lu Sixue to be tormented by them.
After being tormented for a while, Lu Sixue has been feeling a heavy pain in her abdomen recently. Yesterday, she even found some blood on her underwear. She always felt that she had signs of miscarriage...
Just then Xu Yilan called, she hurriedly made an excuse to go home to see her father and took the opportunity to escape back home, intending to hide at home for a few days.
Without Lu Sixue's help, Xu Yilan had to work in the kitchen alone. Just when she brought the last dish to the table, Lu Siming came back with Zhou Mei.
*
Zhou Mei stood in front of the Song family villa and looked around quietly. The fact that the Lu family could own such a large villa in such a valuable location showed how prosperous and wealthy the Lu family was in the past.
She sighed inwardly, no wonder they say "a lean camel is bigger than a horse", although the Lu family is penniless, but as long as they sell this villa, they will probably not have to worry about food and drink in the apocalypse.
The two walked into the villa. The yard looked desolate and dilapidated. The stone road, which was once cleaned spotlessly by the nanny, was now covered with volcanic ash that had not been cleaned up. It made a creaking sound when they stepped on it.
Lu Siming quietly observed Zhou Mei's expression, and was relieved when he saw that she did not show any obvious disgust.
Lu Bo and Xu Yilan were already waiting at the gate.
Seeing Lu Siming and Zhou Mei coming in, Xu Yilan took Zhou Mei's hand affectionately and greeted her, "This must be Xiao Mei, come in quickly, we have been looking forward to your coming."
Zhou Mei calmly pulled away the hand that Xu Yilan was holding, smiled reservedly at her, and replied politely: "Uncle, aunt, excuse me, I am Zhou Mei."
Xu Yilan rubbed her hands awkwardly, while Lu Bo smiled and greeted her, "Hey, kid. Come on in!"
Zhou Mei was very pleased with the hospitality of Lu Siming's mother. Which girl doesn't want to be valued and loved by her husband's family? A smile unconsciously appeared in Zhou Mei's eyes.
When the group walked into the living room, Zhou Mei immediately saw the woman in white sitting on the brown sofa - she looked a little haggard, and was stroking her abdomen.
Although her belly is bulging, her figure is not bloated at all, and she looks like Xishi holding her heart.
As expected, she is Lu Siming's sister, Lu Sixue.
The smile in Zhou Mei's eyes disappeared instantly.
