Lin Mengling clutched her sleeves tightly, her face pale. She realized that Leo's sister valued Ji Rongzhen's appearance more.
"She has something else to do. She's been busy managing her business lately."
This is a lie.
In fact, after the unpleasant parting, she never contacted Ji Rongzhen again.
Jane frowned slightly - it seemed that the relationship between the two of them was not as good as she thought.
Jane Russell pursed her lips at the uneasiness on Lin Mengling's face. Well, they could also let Lin Mengling find a way to trick Ji Rongzhen over during this period of time.
The time for the ancestors to return is approaching.
Jane Russell suppressed her arrogance and disdain and chatted with Lin Mengling in a friendly manner.
After chatting for a while, Lin Mengling felt relieved - she didn't want to get along badly with her boyfriend's sister.
Because of the Russell family's objections, and because Ji Rongzhen didn't come with her, Lin Mengling was unable to enter the Russell family estate. She had originally booked a hotel, but Jane Russell thought hers wasn't upscale enough and rebooked her a new five-star hotel, even the presidential suite. This left Lin Mengling somewhat flattered; the cost of one day in this suite was equivalent to their family's monthly expenses.
During the following period, Jane Russell seemed to have really acknowledged her, often taking her out to play, and even buying her a lot of expensive clothes and luxury goods.
She threw away all the clothes she had brought with her. She wore haute couture and carried a million-dollar brand-name bag. People she met were very friendly and respectful to her because of Jane Russell, as if she were some important person.
So this is the so-called life of an aristocrat?
Ji Rongzhen, has she always lived such a luxurious life in the Ji family? It's obvious that if she leaked a little bit of something, it would make her relatives' lives much better. But over the years, she has never cared about her relatives. Mom was right, she never took them to heart, let alone treated them as family and friends.
As the saying goes, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Having gotten used to this kind of life, when Jane Russell disappeared one day and her hotel reservation expired, Ji Rongzhen had no choice but to book a hotel on her own and move back into a cheap chain hotel. This sudden drop in her quality of life made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
She called Jane Russell, but the call still went unanswered. This familiar scenario made Ji Rongzhen very uneasy.
Soon, she received news that Jane Russell was also punished by their family because she secretly helped her brother.
Lin Mengling was in great pain. Why were they unwilling to fulfill their wish?
She suppressed her grief and anger and called Ji Rongzhen again to ask for her help.
Ji Rongzhen naturally rejected her request and once again advised her to go home as soon as possible.
Lin Mengling hung up the phone angrily.
She decided not to ask Ji Rongzhen for help anymore, and would not ask for help in vain and be ridiculed and laughed at by her. She wanted to defend her love on her own.
With such courage, she rushed to the address of the estate that Jane Russell had given her.
Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment, but still kept the talisman with her.
At first, she was stopped by the vampire at the door. The vampire gave her a very dangerous aura, more like an animal than a human. Especially when the vampire looked at her, she felt like prey.
So scary...
Because Leo Russell and Jane Russell had always been very friendly and kind in front of her, and coupled with the vampire love stories she had read before, Lin Mengling had always had a good impression of the vampires.
As they stared at her, she wanted to run away, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.
"Humans...if we enjoy the delicious food they offer us, it wouldn't be against the rules, right?"
"Yes, she came here by herself."
The two guards kept staring at her with their bright red eyes. When they were about to pounce on her, they were attacked by black mist, screamed, and turned into bats.
A handsome middle-aged man walked out of the manor. He looked at the panicked Lin Mengling and said, "You are Master Leo's guest, right? Come in with me."
Lin Mengling roughly guessed the other party's identity... He should also be a vampire, and his rank in the vampire clan is higher than that of the security guard.
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her fear.
If she didn't even have the courage to face them, how could she defend her love? At this moment, she somewhat understood what Ji Rongzhen had said to her.
But Leo was different. Unlike those low-level vampires who were controlled by desire, he was definitely the one who had the final say in the family. Otherwise, why would he let the butler come out to greet her?
She mustered up her courage and followed the housekeeper.
This manor was bigger than she had imagined, and unlike outside, the sky inside was always overcast and there was no sunlight at all.
Is she going to live in a place like this in the future? I always feel that if I stay there for too long, I will easily become depressed.
Lin Mengling was lost in thought. Because the manor was so big, it took her more than ten minutes to reach the main house.
Before she came in, she heard rustling sounds coming from the house, mixed with laughter and voices that were very familiar to her.
Lin Mengling's eyes widened. Leo was out of danger?
She trotted in and was shocked by what she saw the next second.
She saw Leo and Jane kissing passionately, and Leo's hand even reached into her clothes.
Nightmare, this is definitely a nightmare. Has she not woken up from it yet?
Leo Russell had sensed her arrival, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued to kiss the beautiful Jane, and Jane responded to him passionately.
Soon, he heard crying.
"How could you do such a thing?"
Leo Russell finally stopped and looked at Lin Mengling as if he was looking at an ignorant child.
"This is normal among the vampires."
Lin Mengling vaguely recalled what Ji Rongzhen had once told her: in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, the vampires have always had a tradition of intermarriage.
In the past, she just thought it was malicious slander, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, it felt like a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and her body and heart were chilled to the bone.
