In the master bedroom of the Gu family, the private doctor fixed Chen Hui's leg and checked the rest of her physical condition.
He turned to Mr. Gu who was standing by and said, "Mrs. Gu is fine. The injury on her foot was treated promptly. She will be fine in a few days."
Gu Xuesong said: "Thank you, doctor. Xiaoying, send the doctor out."
He unbuttoned his suit, sat beside his wife's bed, and said with a worried look, "I told you to rest at home, but you had to go out everywhere. You know how anxious I was when I heard the news of the accident. If something really happened to you, what would I do in the future?"
Gu Xuesong is over fifty years old, but he has maintained himself very well, without a single gray hair on his head. He is one of the most prominent Confucian businessmen in the circle.
Outsiders don’t know that although the head of the Gu family is very successful outside, he is a real wife slave at home.
When his wife got into trouble this time, he was so scared that he had some heart arrhythmia. Fortunately, his wife was found to be fine after the examination, and he felt a little relieved.
"I'm fine, right? Don't worry too much."
Chen Hui reached out and patted the back of her husband's hand. She felt a little sad when she talked about what happened today.
"I didn't expect that at my age, I could be saved by a little kid."
"Xuesong, we can't be ungrateful. Please find her here for me so I can thank her in person."
Gu Xuesong frowned and said, "Thank you for sure, but don't worry about your current condition. I'll let my subordinates do it."
For the Gu family, they have no shortage of money and power, so it is very easy to thank a little kid.
However, Chen Hui shook her head and said, "This is different. I have a connection with the child. If you don't agree, I will find someone myself."
"Okay, okay, I can do it for you."
Gu Xuesong knew his wife's character well. If he didn't agree, she would definitely do what she said.
As the couple was talking, a figure rushed in in a hurry, "Mom, I heard from my family that you were in a car accident, are you okay?"
The guy who came was a boy in his early teens, dressed in a very middle school style, with yellow hair. He was a little out of breath because he ran too fast.
"What's the matter with you?"
When Gu Xuesong saw his son, his elegant face almost couldn't hold back his expression. He never thought that his son in his old age didn't come to repay his kindness, but rather to seek revenge.
Gu Yu had long been accustomed to his father's sarcasm and simply turned a blind eye to it.
"Okay, is it fun for you two father and son to quarrel every day?"
Chen Hui knew that the father and son could get along at the beginning, but later the younger son refused to listen and insisted on entering the entertainment industry and becoming an idol star. Since then, the two of them have completely turned into enemies. Whenever they meet, they would quarrel and no one could stop them.
"Xiao Yu, Mom is fine. Weren't you filming in another city? Why did you come back suddenly?"
"We finished filming yesterday, and the company called me back temporarily because of something."
Seeing that his mother was fine, Gu Yu felt relieved. He was about to sit for a while when his father stopped him.
"You've seen it all, go out and give your mother some rest."
Because of his son's temper, he stays in this room and never stops talking, so how can his wife have a good rest?
"Hey, Lao Gu, this is not very kind of you, I just... Hey, hey, a real man doesn't mention the back of his collar, ahhhh!"
Gu Xuesong was too lazy to talk nonsense. Although he looked elegant, he was actually a muscular man. He carried his youngest son like a chicken.
"have a good rest!"
"I'll find the person for you right now."
Gu Xuesong turned around and said before leaving.
Chen Hui nodded. She was very confident in her husband's work. She was also a little tired after a busy day. She put her head on the pillow and fell asleep in a daze.
She didn’t know if it was because she was tired, but she kept having dreams one after another, making it difficult for her to distinguish reality.
And in these clips, there was always a gray figure, staring at her coldly and resentfully.
What's even more terrifying is that it kept getting closer to her, until the last time she regained consciousness, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and its pale fingers tightly grasped her neck.
The huge force made her breathless, and at this moment, she finally saw the figure clearly.
It was a woman with disheveled hair and no face!
The place where the face should have been was empty, and its skin was wriggling and even tearing apart bit by bit.
Through the crack, she saw the other party's suction-like mouthparts, which were covered with sharp teeth and looked hideous and terrifying.
Just as the horrible mouthparts were about to bite her, Chen Hui suddenly felt a burning sensation in the palm of her hand.
A golden light flashed, and the faceless gray figure was like being hit by boiling hot oil, and instantly retreated away, with a shrill roar rushing straight into the eardrums.
"ah!"
As the restraints on his body loosened, Chen Hui suddenly sat up with cold sweat on his forehead.
Is it a dream?
This is so true!
What on earth is that white shadow!
She gasped for breath and looked around in horror. When she found that she was in her bedroom, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But her fingers suddenly touched something and she froze because she remembered that her palms had become hot just now.
Chen Hui tremblingly lifted the quilt and spread out her hands, only to see that the talisman bag that she had held in her palm before going to bed had now burned into ashes.
At this moment, she stopped breathing.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
Gan Xiaoying had been waiting outside. When she heard the noise in the house, she hurried in.
However, after she saw the lady's appearance, her eyes widened and she trembled, "Madam, you...your neck!"
Chen Hui paused when she heard this. She quickly took the mirror on the bedside table and turned it over. She was finally able to see the condition of her neck clearly with the help of the light.
I saw a circle of red and purple pinch marks on the originally fair skin. Just by looking at the marks, I could tell how much strength the other party had used.
"Who is it? Who wants to harm you?"
Gan Xiaoying was so angry that she was about to explode. She was guarding outside and there were so many bodyguards at home. Who could have sneaked into the house without making any noise and strangled his wife like this?
If this force lasts a little longer...
Her heart was beating like a drum, and she dared not imagine what the master's expression would be when he came back and saw the lady like this!
Actually...it’s not a dream!
It’s true!
Chen Hui's heart sank to the bottom at this moment. The gray shadow in the dream definitely couldn't be a good thing!
This time it failed to kill her, so it would definitely not give up. After all, she remembered very clearly the resentful gaze it gave her when it retreated.
She was able to escape this time, but what about next time?
Too many doubts came to her mind at once, and suddenly the crisp voice of a little kid appeared in her mind...
"After you use the talisman, remember to come find me!"
Yes! The talisman, it was that talisman that saved her!
The talisman was given to her by the little doll during the day, and she asked me to find her. Does it mean that she has a way to solve my current problem?
Chen Hui was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly looked at Xiaoying and asked anxiously, "Where's the husband?"
She still remembered that before going to bed, her husband went to find someone for her.
Gan Xiaoying was frightened by the lady's appearance and began to tremble.
"First... sir, he went out with the young master. He said he went to look for the girl who saved the lady during the day. He has been gone for a while and should be back soon."
"Ma'am, are you...are you okay?"
Chen Hui heard this and took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. Go call the gentleman and ask them to come back quickly."
After saying that, she looked at the moving house and suddenly changed her tone: "Let others make the call, you stay and accompany me."
She didn't know where the gray shadow was hiding, but when she thought that it might still be in this room, Chen Hui felt a chill all over her body.
