Chapter 167 Dirty Deal

Both of them froze at the same time.

"You two are planning to run away secretly tonight and burn this house down, aren't you?"

Lin Xiyue said this and walked to the window sill.

Her hand stroked the white handkerchief hanging on the windowsill.

"This white handkerchief is a secret signal. You two have agreed that if you don't leave, you will take it off."

This is why the house caught fire shortly after Tan Mingzhu took off the handkerchief last time.

Because her lover saw the handkerchief being taken off and knew that Tan Mingzhu was not leaving.

Unwilling to give in, he took action in advance and set the fire.

Perhaps he wanted to take advantage of the fire to take Tan Mingzhu away, or use the fire to force Tan Mingzhu to go with him.

But for some reason, neither of them escaped and ended up being burned to death in the house.

The reason why the people attending the party became silent after screaming was because they had put drugs in their drinks.

The drugs gradually took effect as the fire started, causing everyone to fall into a coma, so no one could escape from the sea of ​​fire.

This is why Ali would faint every time after drinking that glass of champagne.

Those two glasses of special champagne were specially prepared for Ali, and the drugs in them were more potent than those in other drinks.

The purpose was to make A-Li faint as soon as he went upstairs, so that Tan Mingzhu could block Mr. Zhang and have a chance to escape.

However, man proposes, God disposes. This seemingly smart couple did not expect that Tan Mingzhu's stepfather would be so cruel that he directly put the person into the dark room in his own home.

As soon as Tan Mingzhu entered the room, his every move was under the surveillance of Mr. Zhang.

Ah Li fainted as soon as he entered the room. Mr. Zhang, who had observed everything in the dark room, naturally had no scruples and walked out of the dark room.

In the end, due to Tan Mingzhu's fierce resistance, he accidentally killed Tan Mingzhu.

This is the reason why Tan Mingzhu died in the first reincarnation.

During that death, she did not have the chance to take off the white handkerchief, so her lover naturally thought she could get away, so he set the fire at the agreed time.

But the man waiting at the door did not see Tan Mingzhu for a long time.

When the fire spread to the entire house, the man finally realized that something was wrong and ran back desperately.

But when he rushed upstairs, he saw Tan Mingzhu's already dead body. Heartbroken, he finally kissed his lover and resolutely stayed in the sea of ​​fire, sharing life and death with his lover.

Lin Xiyue said everything, and Tan Mingzhu no longer concealed it.

"Yes, I am going to elope with Ah Zhe tonight. I really can't survive this hellish life any more..."

Tan Mingzhu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.

The densely packed scars on it are shocking to look at.

Ah Li couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and the man opposite her had even redder eyes.

"Mingzhu, I'm sorry. I don't have the ability to protect you..." A tear fell on Tan Mingzhu's arm.

Tan Mingzhu shook her head, her tone somewhat cold: "It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame my bad luck for meeting such a beast... Actually, I was quite happy when I was a child. My father loved me very much, and my mother loved me too. I was the real pearl of the family..."

Tan Mingzhu's expression gradually sank into memories.

She hadn't thought of those distant memories for a long, long time.

Tan Mingzhu's original name was not Tan Mingzhu. Her biological father's surname was Yang and he was a small businessman.

At that time, Tan Mingzhu was still called Yang Mingzhu. She changed her name to the latter one because her mother remarried her stepfather whose surname was Tan.

Yang Mingzhu was very cute when she was born. She was a fair and tender little girl who was only a few days old. Her skin was not wrinkled at all. When she saw people, she smiled with her round eyes. She was very cute.

Probably because she was so cute, she was named Mingzhu when she was born, which means the apple of the eye.

Just like her name, Yang Mingzhu is the apple of her parents' eyes, especially her father. Whenever he gets home, the first thing he does is to hold Yang Mingzhu in his arms and tease her.

Her father was a small businessman who made a living by reselling foreign goods at sea, so he was often away from home for ten days or half a month.

But this could not stop him from doting on Yang Mingzhu. Every time he went out to sea, he would bring many little toys for Yang Mingzhu, and as soon as he got home he would hug her and kiss her non-stop.

As far as Yang Mingzhu can remember, her father would basically play with her whenever he was at home. Growing up in such pampering, Yang Mingzhu was carefree and as delicate and lovely as a doll.

But this happy life turned into nothing when she was seven years old due to a tsunami.

Her father died in the tsunami, and her mother was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law, who favored boys over girls.

That period was probably the most difficult time for both mother and daughter.

My mother, who was used to living in a big house, soon couldn't stand such a hard life and married this stepfather.

Yang Mingzhu's beauty is largely due to the fact that her mother Liu Liu was a great beauty, so it is not surprising that she remarried and found a man with good conditions.

After all, Tan Mingwang had coveted his mother's beauty for a long time. Now that his mother had lost her husband, he had just got the opportunity and naturally wanted it more than ever.

During the first few years after Yang Mingzhu arrived at the Tan family, although she was not liked by the old lady and others, her stepfather was quite nice to her.

He changed Yang Mingzhu's name to Tan Mingzhu, following his last name, and said that she would be his daughter from now on.

Tan Mingwang never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

He always said that girls need to be well-nourished, and only girls who are well-nourished can be as beautiful as a flower.

Yang Mingzhu didn’t understand what this meant before, until she grew up, like a flower in bud, gradually revealing her stunning beauty.

The way Tan Mingwang looked at her also gradually changed.

Later, Tan Mingwang began to take her to various drinking parties to meet various dignitaries, and sometimes even gave her to those people as a gift.

Tan Mingzhu went from being a young lady who didn't understand the world to being the most despicable person in the dirty mud.

It's not that she didn't think about resisting, but Tan threatened her mother every time.

He said that if she didn't agree, he wouldn't mind sending her mother to those men's beds and letting them play with her as they pleased.

Tan Mingwang also said that even if that happened, Tan Mingzhu would also be sent to their bed together. Wouldn't it be more exciting then for two women to share one man?

When he said this, there was still a smile on his face, but his eyes were like a vicious poisonous snake, hissing and spitting venom.

After doing so many dirty things like this, Tan Mingwang himself eventually turned his evil hand towards Tan Mingzhu.
