Bai Yutong was soaked to the bone. After getting into the car, she sneezed several times and took out a towel to wipe herself.
"You've been treated like dirt. Just wait until Miss Xiang marries another man, then you'll be crying." She couldn't help but stab Chen Muzhi a few more times, acting as if she were fearless.
"Looks like you haven't had enough of the rain." Shen Muzhi didn't even glance at her, and said coldly.
Bai Yutong shut her mouth. She knew he would definitely keep his word. She wasn't Xiang Zhilan, and he had no pity for her at all.
The journey was quiet, and they escorted her to the Bo family mansion. Shen Muzhi also took the opportunity to visit his maternal grandfather.
After arriving at the apartment, Xiang Zhilan asked Luo Che to stay for dinner at Xiao Kui's request.
After dinner, Luo Che played with the two children while Xiang Zhilan took the kitchen waste to throw away.
She went downstairs to the trash can, feeling as if someone was watching her, but she looked back several times and saw no one. Back in the elevator, she frowned. She'd been having this feeling for the past couple of days; maybe it was just from being too tired.
Xiang Zhilan returned upstairs, and not long after, Luo Che got up to say goodbye and left.
After coaxing the two little ones to bed, Xiang Zhilan continued working on her computer.
Late at night, I went to the kitchen to pour tea and heard a noise outside the door.
She immediately became alert, grabbed a broom, and headed to the entrance. She peeked through the peephole and saw a furtive man in black.
He opened the window in the hallway, as if to observe how one climbed from that window onto her balcony.
Xiang Zhilan was startled. There are usually more thieves around the end of the year, but she didn't expect them to be so brazen as to steal from an apartment like this.
She hurriedly picked up the phone and called the property security guard. After the call, she was still not at ease. If it was just theft, that would be fine. But she was afraid that the person she felt staring at today was the thief. If the thief knew she was at home and still came to steal, then he might have other intentions.
Xiang Zhilan returned to her bedroom, quickly closed the door, and locked it again. Feeling anxious, she called the property security guard to urge him to hurry up.
Then she heard the sound of glass shattering and a flurry of footsteps!
Oh my god! A thug has broken in!
Xiang Zhilan's heart sank. She heard footsteps getting closer and closer to the room, so she quickly carried the two children to the closet and hid them.
Hearing the sound of the lock being picked, she was so frightened that she panicked and hurriedly moved the tables and chairs over to block the door.
This is no ordinary thief. Knowing the lights were on, they still made such a commotion. They should be called robbers!
Her phone suddenly rang. She saw it was Shen Muzhi calling and immediately answered, "There's a robber breaking in! Come quick!"
Just as she finished speaking, the door lock was suddenly pried open!
She threw down her phone and braced herself against the table and chair, but the man outside was very strong and pushed her away in one go.
"Hello!" Shen Muzhi heard the noise on the other end of the phone and stepped on the gas.
Xiang Zhilan had already been pushed aside and knocked down, her head hitting the back of her head so hard she saw stars. She looked at the man who came in wearing a black mask and a black hoodie, and he was holding a hammer.
His gaze felt familiar, and she was startled, blurting out, "Feng Jingxian!"
"So you haven't forgotten me after all? Tsk tsk, that's really touching." Feng Jingxian took off his mask, walked over and approached her, bent down, grabbed Xiang Zhilan's hair, his face contorted with rage, and said fiercely, "Thanks to you, I've ended up in this state. Since I'm going to jail anyway, I'll take it all back today!"
