"Oh my god, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Lu Xiaoyao, who had been patrolling the perimeter of the villa for quite some time, was suddenly bumped into by a woman in a burgundy evening gown wearing a mask who darted out from around the corner.
Before Lu Xiaoyao could figure out what was going on with the other person, she saw the other person take the initiative and suddenly push her away, causing her to stumble and run away quickly.
It seems like they're hiding from something.
"Hey, stop right there...you..."
Lu Xiaoyao was immediately angered by the other party's impolite behavior.
She immediately followed the other person, wanting to call out to ask why he wasn't properly attending the banquet indoors and was running around everywhere.
Could it be that the other person also saw a moving teddy bear?
"Wait a minute!"
Thinking about it this way, Lu Xiaoyao felt even more that she should call out to the other person and ask them more questions.
However, she saw that the other person ran faster the more she told them to stop, so she had no choice but to turn around and follow.
This NPC has a big problem!
She has to go after her!
She played this game haphazardly, and her brother has lost contact with them. Maybe this person has some clues!
Having made up her mind, Lu Xiaoyao was about to speed up and catch the NPC before he rushed into the house when a voice suddenly flashed through her mind—[Does the player wish to stop patrolling and pursue this NPC? This choice is very important; please choose carefully.]
"Of course we should chase after them! Even a fool could tell there's something fishy about this NPC!"
Without hesitation, Lu Xiaoyao gave her answer and went straight after the person, finally catching up with them at the last moment.
"ah!"
As if frightened by Lu Xiaoyao, the other person looked at Lu Xiaoyao, who had grabbed her, in terror, and kept twisting her wrists, trying to break free from Lu Xiaoyao's control. However, Lu Xiaoyao did not give her a chance to resist and directly pulled her into the corner of the wall on the other side.
"Shh-"
Lu Xiaoyao made a quiet gesture. "Don't you have an invitation?"
The woman, who had been struggling just a second ago, stiffened for a moment when she heard Lu Xiaoyao's words, which were half certain and half doubtful.
"really……"
In that brief moment of stiffness, Lu Xiaoyao became even more certain that the other party really did not have an invitation.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
"No... I didn't."
The woman shook her head, firmly denying that she had come to cause trouble.
"Then why did you come in without an invitation? What are you going to do?"
"I...I..."
After hesitating for a while, Lu Xiaoyao looked into the other person's emerald eyes and her tears suddenly burst forth, making her feel extremely guilty.
It's like she's a bad person!
"Say something! What can I do to you? Can't you see I'm only talking to you behind that old man's back?" (Biquge)
The old man Lu Xiaoyao mentioned was the same old man who had called them over to reassign their jobs.
"I...I wanted to..."
After hesitating for a moment, the woman went from crying uncontrollably to sobbing softly. Then, as if she couldn't speak, she clutched at her dress and, under Lu Xiaoyao's increasingly impatient gaze, finally said, "I've come to find my husband."
"Oh, looking for your husband... huh?"
Lu Xiaoyao keenly sensed the meaning behind the woman's words, "He came here to have fun behind your back?"
woman:"……"
Although some of Lu Xiaoyao's wording was inappropriate, she thought she should understand what the other person wanted to express, so she slowly nodded.
Who is your husband?
Just as Lu Xiaoyao was talking to the lady, Bai Xiao, who had come out under some pretext, suddenly appeared, causing the lady, who had been quiet, to struggle again and try to escape.
"No, no, don't move! She's my friend, we're together."
Lu Xiaoyao quickly grabbed the other person's shoulder and spoke at an astonishing speed, stopping the other person before they could speak.
“If we talk about this too much and people find out, it will damage my husband’s reputation…”
She was only willing to tell Lu Xiaoyao about it because of the circumstances, but that doesn't mean she's willing to tell more people.
"Come on, your husband came to the banquet without you. What kind of good person is he that you have to worry about his reputation?"
Bai Xiao spoke about this much more directly than Lu Xiaoyao. Even though the other person hadn't taken off their mask, they could still sense that the other person's heart was shattered by their words.
"My husband asked me for a divorce a while ago." The woman's eyes were downcast, her voice dejected. "Everyone says he's found true love..."
"Then what?"
“He said he would pay me a large sum of money in divorce settlement after the divorce, and I would also get custody of the children. He would also pay me a large alimony payment every year.”
"It sounds good. We can ask for more. After all, there's nothing to miss about a scoundrel like this who cheated on his wife after finding true love. Money is more reliable than a dirty, rotten cucumber."
The woman looked at Bai Xiao in surprise. Hearing the other woman's somewhat extreme description, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it for a moment. She blinked and said slowly, "I... I just wanted to come and see for myself before the divorce to see what makes that so-called true love that everyone talks about better than me."
"What? You want to improve yourself once you find out she's better than you, or do you want to tell your husband that she's not as good as you and beg him not to divorce you once you find out she's not as good as you?"
Bai Xiao was practically ready to poke the other person's head and demand to know if they were being stupid and what they were thinking.
The other party quietly shook his head again, took several deep breaths, and said, "I just want to see... After I see it, I'll get a divorce. I've already bought the train tickets. After the divorce, I'll take my daughter to live in my hometown, which is a beautiful and quiet little city."
When talking about her daughter, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't bear to miss the tenderness in her daughter's eyes and looked at her several times.
Little did they know, the comments section was already filled with angry remarks.
[You scoundrel! Pah! You #@￥%￥……%！！]
Because of his overly emotional outburst and vulgar language, he was immediately kicked out by the management.
[Such a wonderful woman! Durerson, you bastard!]
[Waaaaah, I watched it again, and I still think Ms. Mary is so beautiful, so gentle, delicate, and petite~ How could she be so tragic?]
[I'm different, I really love Dewi, just thinking about her ending... ahhhhh! That scumbag is going to get his cucumber smashed!]
On Mingmei's side, the comments section was filled with various expressions of pity and insults directed at several unfamiliar names regarding spoilers. She seemed to have vaguely discerned something.
As the storyline on Lu Xiaoyao's side began to unfold, since they couldn't find a place to turn on the lights, the group had no choice but to continue exploring the night market function on the second floor, which was the same one they had just visited.
"It looks like there's a whole bunch of jewelry here."
Even though the jewelry hadn't been heated by a raging fire, the molten metal encased the magnificent gemstones, but even from the exposed corners, one could tell how distinguished the people who attended the banquet were.
