午夜的女人

Jing Muchen leaned against the back of the sofa casually. With handsome and deep facial features, he looked at Helian Xun calmly and indifferently. It was as if he didn’t have much interest.

Shaker got the order, so he opened his laptop and said, “Miss Xia, you disguised as a dancer and approached Mr. Ryan, our dealer in Los Angeles. You used your beauty and charm to seduce him, got his money, and escaped. We have a witness and a video as evidence. The woman in the picture is clearly you.”

Xia Xiaoli glanced at Shaker impatiently and said, “Little boy, Ryan and I just had a fair deal. If he didn’t covet my body, how could he fall into my trap? To be honest, I was also a victim. I only promised to date him, but he wanted to rape me. I got some of his money to compensate for my mental loss. Was it too much?”

Shaker’s expression slightly changed. He didn’t expect her to be so straightforward and sharp.

Jing Muchen glanced at Helian Xun’s relaxed appearance. His eyes were indifferent, and his voice was very calm when he said, “Su Ruowan is now in D City.”

When Xia Xiaoli heard this name, she immediately glared at Helian Xun.

Helian Xun sneered, shook his head, and said in a low voice, “Why do you have to mention her again? First love… its memory was indeed beautiful. I could still remember when I sent her back to G City. I didn’t even have the guts to enter her house back then. I was only her ex-boyfriend. Why should I take over your mess? Actually, I hadn’t settled this with you yet. But forget it. After all, it has been more than four years. She must have remarried a long time ago. Well, it’s good. Xiaoli and I are getting married soon anyway.”

Xia Xiaoli’s eyes lit up, and her mouth curved into a smile. Her expression calmed down. She retracted her murderous stare and sat beside Helian Xun obediently.

When Jing Muchen and Shaker left, Xia Xiaoli closed the door, turned around, and kicked Helian Xun’s abdomen. She frowned and snapped angrily, “Are you still thinking about your first love?”

Helian Xun grabbed her small fair foot with both hands, raised his head, and smiled wickedly. “With you, how can I care about that boring woman?”

Xia Xiaoli couldn’t withdraw her foot for a long time, so she said angrily, “A boring woman? Just now, you were still thinking about your first love.”

Helian Xun pulled her with great strength. She lost her balance and fell into his arms. He bent over and kissed her lips loudly. With a smile on his lips, he said, “I deliberately said those words in front of Jing Muchen. He has changed now. Before we can figure out his intentions, we’d better be cautious. We have to hurry up and get more money. When we return to D City, the Helian family and Xia family will join forces in politics and business. By that time, we can show everyone our real power.”

Xia Xiaoli looked at his charming face and sighed inwardly. She was completely trapped by this man for the rest of her life.

That night, Jing Muchen hurried back to D City by plane.

It was seven o’clock in the evening when he got off the plane.

But instead of going back to the Jing family’s villa, he drove to Yi Yuan Community in the southeast of D City.

Standing in front of Room 501, he took out the key but did not open the door. He just lit a cigarette, stood there, and smoked.

Next door, which was Room 502, he could vaguely hear the sound of the TV from the inside and smell the home-cooked dishes.

This was the property he gave to Su Ruowan after they divorced that year. This was also where she stayed after she gave birth.

But before she left, she sold all the furniture here at a low price. Before he went to Italy, he bought back the empty house.

And it was only tonight that he came here again.

After a while, Jing Muchen threw the cigarette butt on the floor, turned around, and left.

The sensor lights in the corridor dimmed again.

A few seconds later, the door of Room 502 creaked open. The sensor lights turned on again.

Then a little figure came out with a small bag of trash.

“Jiu Jiu, just leave the trash bag outside the door. The cleaner will come and take it away tomorrow,” Su Ruowan shouted from the inside.

“Okay,” Jiu Jiu replied in a sweet voice. As she put the trash bag outside the door, she saw the cigarette butt on the floor. After thinking for a while, she turned around and closed the door.

“Mommy…” She threw herself into Su Ruowan’s arms and said, “An uncle smoked outside just now.” She thought for a while and added, “I guess.”

Su Ruowan was shocked by Jiu Jiu’s words. Was someone outside just now? She let go of Jiu Jiu and peeped through the peephole. It was pitch dark.

“Ha-ha!” Seeing her reaction, Jiu Jiu giggled. “There is a cigarette butt on the floor.”

Su Ruowan was still worried, so she didn’t dare to open the door. She took a chair and leaned it against the door. Then she turned around and said seriously, “From now on, don’t open the door casually, especially when I am not at home, okay?”

This community was in good order, and they could rest assured that living here was safe. But since they were just a woman and a child, they’d better be careful.

Su Ruowan glanced at the door again and decided that she would change the lock into a more durable one tomorrow..
