Chapter 1299 Villa Rumors
After hearing Lianyi's words, the agent's eyebrows twitched with joy. As long as he was not afraid of ghosts, it seemed that he had hope of closing this deal.
"Miss Qiu, I'll take you over to have a look now. This house is definitely a good one, and the furniture in it is all ready-made. Just find someone to clean it, and you can move in."
The young man opened the car door attentively and drove Lianyi to see the house.
The car stopped in front of a small villa, and Lianyi got out first, looking at the rusty iron railing door. When she raised her head, she saw a woman in red standing in the second-floor window. She looked at her with unfriendly eyes, and her deep eyes made people's scalps numb.
"interesting."
Lianyi was more interested, because the woman in red had a lot of resentment, but she seemed unable to leave here. It was more like she was bound here, so there were rumors of ghosts here.
The agent took a long time to open the rusty lock. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pushed open the door, and let Lianyi go in to see the interior structure of the two-story villa.
When the door was opened, a cold breath blew in, mixed with dust and mold.
"Miss Qiu, I'm sorry, because you came to see the house at short notice, so I can't arrange for someone to clean it in advance. Please forgive me."
The agent was a little embarrassed. He fanned away the dust with his hands, then went in first and opened the heavy curtains of the living room on the first floor to let the sunlight into the room. Lianyi stood at the door without moving. She waited for the dust to settle before she stepped through the door.
After entering, Lianyi felt like she was in another space. Although the sun was scorching outside, the room was unusually cool, even a little chilly, and it felt like the sunlight coming in through the window was not that warm.
The agent touched his arm which was covered with goose bumps, and took Lianyi to visit the first and second floors, and even showed her the attic. He kept the time to one hour, and then left the house.
When they got back into their car, the agent was obviously relieved, and Lianyi then spoke:
"Brother, tell me the origin of this haunted house!"
"Ms. Qiu, to be honest, no one has ever died in this house. It's just that some people spread rumors, and later it became a haunted house. You know, some rumors are exaggerated and changed their meaning."
The agent explained.
"I understand what you mean, but I think there's no smoke without fire. As for the details, I'll make the judgment, and you just tell me what you know."
"good."
The agent saw that Lianyi was interested in the house, so he told Lianyi everything he knew. Even if he didn't say it, others would be able to find out. If the deal failed and the company's reputation was damaged, the boss would definitely fire him.
This small villa was built at great expense by a returned overseas Chinese in order to house his beautiful wife. He had a big business, but he had no luck with children. He was almost 40 years old, and his wife had yet to give him a son or daughter.
The wife of this overseas Chinese was a tigress who never gave her husband any chance to have affairs with other women, so he didn't even have an illegitimate child.
As he grew older, Huaqiao became a little anxious. He had earned such a huge fortune, plus his wife's private property, he was unwilling to let it go to outsiders.
The wife wanted to adopt a child from her own family, but Huaqiao was unwilling to do so. Even if she had to adopt a child, she wanted to adopt a child from the Tao family. The couple argued endlessly, and finally Tao Jingfeng said:
"No matter who we adopt, the child is not our biological child. It is better to have a surrogate child. At least we can keep our own bloodline. You can raise the child by your side since he is young, so you don't have to worry about not being able to raise him well."
Mrs. Tao thought about it and compromised. After all, it was her own health problems that caused her infertility.
The couple came to Yangcheng to stay temporarily in the name of returning to China for investment. This house was built for comfortable living. However, Mrs. Tao, the hostess, did not live here. She went to live in Guangzhou. Tao Jingfeng disguised himself as a widowed bachelor and appeared in Yangcheng.
Not long after, he began dating a woman named Xi Ruo (ruo). They got married three months after dating and held a wedding, inviting many people. Everyone said that Xi Ruo was lucky. Although the man she married was a second marriage, he was well-off.
After marriage, Xi Ruo lived a very comfortable life. Soon after, she became pregnant with twins. Tao Jingfeng was very happy. He had arranged for someone to check the babies and found out that they were twins, a boy and a girl. He became more attentive to Xi Ruo and even hired someone to take care of his little wife so that she could give birth to a baby smoothly after ten months of pregnancy.
After having a child, Tao Jingfeng treated Xi Ruo even better. It was no exaggeration to say that he was very obedient to her. He bought her a lot of clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. However, as his business in Yangcheng grew bigger and bigger, Tao Jingfeng spent less time in the villa except when he went home to see the child.
Soon after, rumors spread nearby that Xi Ruo's childhood sweetheart had returned and seemed to be pestering Xi Ruo, wanting to rekindle their old relationship, but Xi Ruo simply didn't like him.
As time went on, the rumors naturally reached Tao Jingfeng's ears, but he didn't care at all. He said that he was rich and powerful and could give Xi Ruo a good life. Besides, they even had two children, and his little wife would not choose anyone else. He even laughed it off and continued to be busy.
Over the next period of time, someone saw Xi Ruo and a man pulling each other, and both of them seemed very excited. After that, other people saw it a few more times, and the rumor spread more and more widely.
A month later, when Tao Jingfeng returned to the villa, he listened to what the nanny hired by his family said. He also went to talk to Xi Ruo. After that, Xi Ruo hardly went out for a long time, and the rumors died down for a while.
When the child was one year old, Tao Jingfeng was preparing to hold a birthday party, but something went wrong. Xi Ruo left a letter and ran away, saying that she was going to pursue true love, and when she left, she took away all the expensive jewelry that Tao Jingfeng bought for her.
Tao Jingfeng was so angry that his high blood pressure acted up. After he woke up, he arranged for people to look for his young wife, but nothing was found. Finally, the situation escalated to calling the police. Finally, someone came forward and said that he seemed to have seen Xi Ruo and her childhood sweetheart on a ship crossing the sea.
Tao Jingfeng was furious. He didn't hold the one-year-old birthday party, took his two children back to Hong Kong City, and sold the house. He said he didn't want to stay in this sad place and just left.
Because this villa was originally for Tao Jingfeng to live in himself, he used real materials and sold it for a good price. However, people who moved in later all had accidents, and the hostess of one family even went crazy. Over time, rumors spread that this villa was a haunted house.
Of course, there were also people who didn't believe in superstition and bought this villa, but they all ended up badly in the end, and the villa ended up in the hands of their boss.
After listening to the intermediary's story, Lianyi asked directly:
"How true is the rumor about Tao Jingfeng having a surrogate mother?"
"I really don't know about this, but it's true that Tao Jingfeng and Xi Ruo only had a wedding banquet but didn't get a marriage certificate."
