Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Tortured
Li Xia gritted her teeth in anger; she really wanted to get out of bed and give the caregiver a smack.
But she couldn’t stand up and could only lie in bed, letting the caregiver torture her soul.
The caregiver played with her phone, not looking up, not glancing at Li Xia at all.
Li Xia, who never suffered such grievances before, shouted hoarsely, “Bodyguard!”
“You can scream your lungs out, but no one will listen to you. Here, I call the shots. Your family said you’re reckless and unruly, need me to treat you strictly. You want to go east, I’ll make you go west. In short, I can’t listen to you.”
Li Xia shook her head, her body showing resistance.
“Who sent you?! You’re definitely not the one my mom found! Who paid you, tell me, I’ll pay you double.”
The caregiver looked up, her eyes lit up, “Wow, incredible! Your family said you’d offer double, but you have no money. The person who hired me said you’re out of cash.”
Li Xia: “…”
Li Xia’s phone was taken away by the caregiver, she now couldn’t reach anyone, enduring grievances here.
“Get out! You’re not hired by my mom, someone wants to harm me! Someone, help, someone wants to harm me!”
“If you want to go to the psychiatric hospital, scream loudly!”
Li Xia didn’t dare to scream anymore, fearing this person might really send her to a psychiatric hospital.
Li Xia lay in bed, suffering both physically and mentally, in great pain.
The caregiver took out her phone, capturing Li Xia’s various painful expressions, and clicked send.
Meanwhile.
Huo Siyu received the photos sent by the caregiver, and laughed coldly.
“Li Xia will never think she’d still be tortured. This is just the beginning; more pain awaits her.”
Huo Siyu held her phone and moved forward, bumping into Mo Shaolin.
Mo Shaolin bought a bunch of flaming red roses, a bright smile on his handsome face, walking towards Huo Siyu.
Huo Siyu shouted, “Mo Shaolin, you don’t care about anything I say, huh!”
“Si Yu, I…”
“What do you mean ‘I’? Don’t show up in front of me, I don’t want to talk to you! And don’t play the chasing wife crematorium game either.”
Huo Siyu made a right turn, keeping a distance from Mo Shaolin.
She was tired of saying these words, yet Mo Shaolin never seemed tired of hearing them.
Huo Siyu walked forward, Mo Shaolin chased after her like a tagalong, unable to shake him off.
Huo Siyu turned around, her expression irritated and angry, “Mo Shaolin, stop following me!”
Seeing Huo Siyu truly angry, Mo Shaolin could only halt, too afraid to pursue further.
“Xiao Yu, I won’t follow you; could you please just accept this bouquet first?”
“No way! Absolutely not!”
Huo Siyu walked swiftly, her steps like the wind.
Mo Shaolin stood in place, not daring to follow, only standing there, secretly feeling distressed.
Mo Shaolin held onto the flowers, defeated, and walked back.
Seeing a trash can, he tossed the flowers inside.
…
Huo Siyu returned home, Nan Qiao was cooking dinner.
“Si Yu, you’re back. Dinner is ready; it’s everything you love.”
Huo Siyu sat down, her demeanor different from usual.
“What’s wrong?”
Huo Siyu said helplessly, “Mo Shaolin came again; is he shameless or what? When I had amnesia, he didn’t want my kindness. Now, with my memories back, I only scold and beat him, yet he keeps trailing behind.”
Nan Qiao said helplessly, “Mo Shaolin regrets it; he surely knows it was his fault before, regrets it, and wants you back.”
“Let him dream his spring and autumn dream! Seems I need to move again.”
Nan Qiao said, “Moving doesn’t solve the real issue; no matter how many places you change, Mo Shaolin will find you.”
Huo Siyu leaned against the chair, her body slumped in it, anger surging out.
“I’ll call Li Yehan, let him talk to Mo Shaolin.”
Nan Qiao got up and went to make a call to Li Yehan.
Li Yehan answered almost immediately, his tone cheerful, “Qiaoqiao, you finally decided to call me. I just landed and received your call, what a coincidence.”
Nan Qiao ignored his words and said, “Li Yehan, didn’t you talk to Mo Shaolin last time to stop bothering Si Yu? He came again today; does he plan to be relentlessly annoying?”
Li Yehan: “…”
Li Yehan felt helpless; his imagined concern was gone just like that.
“I’ll talk to him again, but Qiaoqiao, in matters of love, it’s not easy for an outsider like me to intervene.”
Nan Qiao sat on the balcony chair, “You’re right, but you still need to advise Mo Shaolin.”
“Okay, I’ll give him a call later.”
Nan Qiao responded with a gentle “Mm,” “I’ll go eat now.”
…
Jiang Linyu had been imprisoned at home for a week, during which she couldn’t sleep or eat well.
More importantly, whenever Jiang Linyu called Li Xia, the other side always said she was fine.
Jiang Linyu felt something was certainly wrong.
Jiang Linyu wanted to reach out to someone outside, but it was as difficult as climbing the sky because the villa had signal blockers, making it impossible for anyone to contact the outside.
Thus, Jiang Linyu summoned a maid.
The maid lowered her head, and Jiang Linyu smilingly took off her bracelet, handing it to the maid.
“Madam, I can’t accept this.” The maid quickly returned the bracelet.
Jiang Linyu chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I just see you as having a good connection with me, like my daughter, so I’m giving you the bracelet.”
The maid shook her head, “Madam, the master instructed us that whoever dares to collude with you will be driven out, never able to find work in Jing City.”
Unable to find work in Jing City, there’s no hope elsewhere.
The maid dared not collude with Jiang Linyu, she could only work nervously.
Jiang Linyu cursed Li Tianhong in her heart, but outwardly showed a warm smile.
“Why listen to Li Tianhong? I’m the mistress of this house; if you help me, I guarantee you won’t be treated poorly.”
The maid retreated in fear, “Madam, I have other things to do; I’ll be going now.”
The maid ran away.
Jiang Linyu was furious, “Fool! Useless fool! Not taking money-making opportunities, you deserve to be poor all your life.”
Jiang Linyu paced anxiously, feeling very afraid.
She increasingly felt things weren’t right, worried more about Li Xia’s safety.
What method could she use to send a message out?
Jiang Linyu couldn’t think of anything, but thought of Li Ye.
Li Ye wasn’t imprisoned; he could surely see Li Xia and ensure her safety.
Thinking this calmed Jiang Linyu a bit.
…
Li Ye had long forgotten Jiang Linyu’s words.
Li Ye invested himself fully in research, eager to produce results quickly, demonstrating his ability to Li Tianhong and wanting to outshine Li Yehan.
As Li Ye walked out of the company, a beautiful red-dressed woman passed by, slipping him a note.
