Chapter 233 The Mysterious and Dangerous Woman
Watching Gu Mingxia go upstairs, Xiao Yan was suddenly filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. He leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
Helpless, Gu Mingxia got up and went back to her room. Although she kept insisting that she was not angry, it was clear from her behavior that she was still bothered by what had happened that day.
Even without Gu Mingxia saying it, Xiao Yan himself couldn't forgive his behavior that day. But what's done is done, and no matter how much he regrets it or how much he doesn't want to, he can't turn back time or pretend that what happened never happened.
But what could he do? Xiao Yan felt that it was ultimately his own mistake, and he had to find a way to get Gu Mingxia's forgiveness, no matter what the cost.
When Gu Mingxia got upstairs, she sat on the edge of the bed, looking tired. She glanced at her watch and realized it was almost eleven o'clock. For the sake of the baby in her womb, she should go to sleep.
Gu Mingxia had just put her watch on the table and was about to go to sleep when her phone rang. When she answered, Misha's cold and calm voice came from the other end.
"Miss Gu, the blood samples taken from the two people we brought out from Xia Island last time have yielded test results. Do you have time to come to my lab?"
"Would tomorrow morning be okay?"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the lab at 10 a.m.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxia's sleepiness vanished completely. She didn't have much time to waste now; she had been so busy lately that she had almost forgotten about the unbelievable and terrifying thing that happened on Xia Island.
Mom, are you really the one who orchestrated everything behind the scenes? If it really is you, then what is your purpose? Do you hate Dad, or do you hate me and my brother?
No matter what she thinks, she is not Nan Lan herself, and can never guess her true thoughts.
Right now, in a secluded villa in South Africa.
The mysterious woman in black sat on the sofa, looking at all the young and beautiful women standing in the living room. A long veil covered her entire face, making it impossible to see what her expression was.
Even though she didn't say anything, the women standing there could still feel that the atmosphere in the living room was very cold, and more or less, some of them were shivering.
"Your harvests have been decreasing lately."
"Big sister, we've already done our best, but..."
“If you continue like this, then what you want will decrease accordingly with each reduction in what you gain.”
Interrupting the woman speaking, the mysterious woman in black coldly stood up, not even glancing at the other women again, and indifferently turned and walked upstairs.
"Big sister, please don't do this, we...we'll try our best in the future."
Upon hearing that things would be reduced, all the women became frightened and unconsciously knelt on the ground, many of them trembling.
They had all heard about their two companions who died in Xiangcheng, and the thought of such a thing happening to them sent chills down their spines.
"Try your best? Do you all think that because you have a beautiful appearance, men truly love you? You've forgotten your own place under the sweet words of men, haven't you? Hmm?"
The last "hmm" was very soft, but it caused a great shock to all the women kneeling on the ground.
They didn't know that a few years ago, a sister named A-Xing insisted on leaving the Longevity Cult and marrying a rich second-generation because she refused to listen to her eldest sister. The eldest sister didn't say anything or make things difficult for her. She just silently watched her for a long time, and then let her go and get married.
In the first few years, the rich second-generation treated her quite well, but in less than three years, Ah Xing's body had changed because she had been a member of the Longevity Cult for too long, and she could no longer get pregnant and therefore could not have children.
The rich second-generation who used to shower her with sweet words and be considerate and gentle gradually began to speak ill of her. What's more, he openly showed affection with other women in public. In less than a year, Ah Xing's appearance began to show signs of aging, her hair turned gray, and even age spots appeared on her skin.
One day, the rich second-generation returned home and saw a middle-aged woman sleeping on the bed. Although the woman's face still vaguely resembled Ah Xing, he felt disgusted and didn't say a word to her. He then had the servants throw her into the forest on the outskirts of the city. It was the sisters in the cult who couldn't bear to see her like that and took her back to their eldest sister.
But the older sister was too heartbroken. She just glanced at Ah Xing and said, "He's beyond saving."
Sure enough, Ah Xing died that very night due to organ failure. The thought that Ah Xing would die because he didn't take the medicine his older sister gave him filled everyone with fear.
"Don't worry, big sister. We sisters will all listen to you and will never repeat Ah Xing's mistakes."
"Listen to me? Is that it? Yue, then tell me, will you listen to me? You haven't earned a single penny in the past two months. On the contrary, that man must have swindled all your savings, right?"
"Big sister...big sister, I...I was wrong!"
The mysterious woman said nothing, stood on the stairs and looked at everyone for a while, then turned around indifferently and went upstairs to her bedroom.
Only a woman kneeling on the floor and Ah Yue, trembling and constantly shedding tears, remained. The living room was filled with quiet sobbing and silence. The night wind blew through the window onto those people, making the already mild South Africa feel exceptionally cold tonight.
The next day, Gu Mingxia had Song Jia drive her to Misha's lab early in the morning. Because Zheng Liu was getting married, Song Jia suddenly became Gu Mingxia's full-time bodyguard and driver, a job that Song Jia was very happy to take.
"Goddess, you look very tired lately. Are you not feeling well?"
"Maybe you didn't sleep well last night."
Gu Mingxia sat in the back seat, leaning wearily against the backrest. Since becoming pregnant, she had been particularly prone to feeling tired, and it seemed like she could never get enough sleep no matter how much she slept.
"Why don't you go back and rest? Just let me know if you need anything."
Song Jia still cared about Gu Mingxia. After hearing her words, he immediately stopped the car. Gu Mingxia met his concerned gaze, smiled faintly, and waved her hand indifferently.
"It's nothing serious, let's drive."
She desperately wanted to know how those two people could transform from young girls into seventy or eighty-year-old women overnight, and ultimately die from old age. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Gu Mingxia would never have believed such a thing.
"Alright then, but goddess, women really need to take good care of themselves, otherwise they'll age very quickly."
"Really? Do you think I'm too old now?"
Gu Mingxia rarely joked with Song Jia, and Song Jia was taken aback for a moment, then laughed embarrassedly.
"How could that be? She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Otherwise, how could she be my goddess!"
This was arguably the most direct confession, but Gu Mingxia merely smiled faintly, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the window. Early winter was approaching. Xiangcheng was located in the south, so winters there weren't very cold.
"Young? What do you mean 'young'? You're about to become a mother."
"Oh dear, I almost forgot that you're pregnant now. You really need to rest well these days. Mr. Xiao, you've been keeping me so busy since you came back."
Song Jia slapped his forehead, looking annoyed. How could he have forgotten that his goddess was already pregnant?
I didn't tell him.
"Why? Isn't he the child's father?"
"Go away, do you think I, Gu Mingxia, am that kind of woman? Even if I were, would it be necessary to hide it from Xiao Yan?"
Gu Mingxia glared at Song Jia reproachfully. Song Jia chuckled. Although Gu Mingxia hadn't said anything explicitly, he and the other mercenaries could tell that something was wrong between the couple. But since she was their boss, as proper mercenaries, they would never pry into their boss's private affairs.
"You all better not say anything. I haven't figured out how to tell him yet."
After Gu Mingxia finished speaking, her gaze returned to the car window. Looking at Gu Mingxia's preoccupied expression through the rearview mirror, Song Jia sighed softly. He really couldn't understand the world of these rich people. You can say that these people work themselves to the bone for money every day and still live happily, but why are these rich people in front of him, who have countless riches, still unhappy?
"Alright then, but goddess, you must take good care of yourself."
Gu Mingxia nodded silently, and Song Jia then drove on with peace of mind. They soon arrived at a large manor in the suburbs. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Misha waiting for her at the gate, wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses. When she saw Gu Mingxia, she only gave her a cold look, then put her hands in her pockets and walked into the courtyard without saying a word.
Watching her indifferent back, Gu Mingxia shrugged and quickly followed in her footsteps.
"Misha, what have you learned from those two people?"
"I don't know how you got involved with someone like that, but I can only tell you that such a person is dangerous, and you... you'd better stay away from them."
Thank you for your concern.
"I owe the Fu family, not you, and I have absolutely no interest in being your private doctor."
Misha meant that she didn't want to implicate Fu Heng because of Gu Mingxia, nor did she want Fu Heng to send her to be Gu Mingxia's private doctor. Gu Mingxia felt a little embarrassed, but still had a faint smile on her face.
"Okay, I'll remember to remind Fu Heng about this." The two walked inside while talking. Song Jia's lips twitched as he listened to their conversation. This cold beauty really had the ability to shut someone up with her words!
"We analyzed the blood samples taken from those two people and found a large amount of mixed blood. In other words, these two people did not have the four blood types we know, but rather no blood type at all. Based on my medical knowledge, I never knew that a person could have so many different blood types at the same time. But one thing is very scary: one of our researchers accidentally dripped blood on his hand, and a blood hole immediately appeared on his finger."
"You mean, their blood is corrosive?"
"I don't know about that, but they are indeed very dangerous, and injecting their blood into mice has a rejuvenating effect."
