Chapter 179 – Bringing Gasoline to the Villa
Inside the Lai family villa.
“Nana? Nana? Are you in there?” Ever since Lai Na was sent back to the Lai family last time she had been locked herself in the house, not coming out the whole day. Even if she came out occasionally, she refused to say a word, which made Lai’s mother worried to death, “Say something, mom is worried about you, don’t think about it, okay?”
As Ri’s mother knocked on the door of Ri Na’s room, her heart was already hanging in mid-air when Asher came to visit that day and told about all the acts that Ri Na had done. Although she had heard Grandpa Jun talk about some of them, but when it really came out from the person’s mouth, the feelings of the two elder members of the Lai family were a different matter.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The situation of the Lai family is getting worse and worse, Lai’s father is outside all day and night to talk about acquisition with other companies, socializing a lot, coming home is already tired and full of face, but seeing his demented daughter although his heart hates iron, but in the end, blood is thicker than water, can’t bear to scold and can’t bear to fight, pressure forced him to get worse and worse, full of black hair has also turned into silver overnight.
The mother of Lai, needless to say, had to take care of her daughter who was in a trance at home during the day, and her husband had to comfort and guide her when he returned at night. Originally, she was well maintained, but even her face was full of wrinkles, and she had aged ten years in a few days.
“Nana, open the door and let mommy in. Mom made you the barley congee you do like to eat, it’s good for your body, so drink a little bit more or less.” Mother Li knocked painstakingly on the door, but there was just no answer.
Li’s mother was worried that Li Na would kill herself again like last time, so she immediately called her driver Lao Wang to kick the door open, “Good girl, why are you squatting in the corner by yourself and not turning on the light?”
Ri’s mother didn’t see Ri Na when she opened the door and thought she had run out. Only when Old Wang turned the light on did she find Ri Na nestled in the corner of the bed alone, her hands hugging her knees and staring at the sky.
Lena, however, looked belatedly at the ceiling in a daze, her voice in a trance, “Mom, why is it that some things, like stars, you can’t even get them by picking them?”
Ri’s mother looked at the dazed looking Ri Na, her heart ached, reaching out to run her hand through Ri Na’s hair that was scattered across her chest.
“Ah! Don’t touch me, don’t touch me! I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!” Lena suddenly looked panicked, and in a trance it seemed as if Mia was standing over her, about to reach across and choke her. She immediately pulled the covers over her head and shivered all over.
“Nana, don’t do this, don’t do this. It’s mommy, it’s mommy. Mommy won’t hurt you.” Mother Ri ripped off the quilt covering Ri Na’s head and held Ri Na in her arms, “Silly child, it’s mommy. Even if everyone in the world disowns you and ignores you, mommy won’t leave you. You have to get better quickly, Daddy’s company is already being driven to the end of its rope by Jun, how can mom feel at ease with you in this state?”
Ri’s mother hugged Riina and stroked her daughter’s head, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Riina didn’t say anything, only the hatred and fear in her eyes flattened her hostility and her body kept trembling.
“Okay, okay. Good boy, good boy. Mom won’t say anything else, we’ll ignore Jun’s, even without Jun’s we’ll still have this disaster ah. Mom doesn’t ask for anything else, it doesn’t matter if all the money is gone, as long as you and Dad are okay. As long as the family can be together, it’s fine.” Ri’s mother burst into tears as she spoke, hugging the delirious Ri Na as she cried.
“Mommy doesn’t cry,” Riina struggled out of her mother’s arms and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “Riina be a good girl and eat, Mommy doesn’t cry.”
Riina picked up the porridge Ri’s mother brought in and drank it all, outwardly meek, but her eyes were filled with nothing but hatred. Sooner or later, a fire like this would burn her to death, but Riina didn’t know how to forgive people when she had to.
Riina finished her food and said she wanted to rest, so Ri’s mother retired.
Seeing that Leena’s condition had improved somewhat, Leigh’s mother finally got a glimmer of comfort and closed the door and went out.
Almost at the same time, suddenly Leena, who had been lying in bed, opened her eyes and looked out the window at the darkening sky silently chanting, “I want you to die, I want you all to die!”
The night was just filling out when Mia accompanied Lily home from the mall. By this time, they were preparing dinner.
“Aunty, Asher said he likes your roast pork the most, can you teach me how to make it?” Mia asked as she peeled potatoes in the kitchen, although the villa was full of servants, Mia liked to cook her own food.
This, as it happens, is very similar to Lily, and they become even more compatible. Lily, in particular, is now seeing Mia, and the more she sees her, the more satisfied she is.
“Oh yeah, the boy has loved this dish since he was a kid. Eats a lot of it every time.” Lily looked at Mia, who was messing with the potatoes on the side, and snorted a laugh.
“What’s wrong, Auntie?” Mia was curious as to what properly amused Lily so much.
Looking at Mia gently, Lily’s voice was loving and peaceful, “Oh, I was thinking, it seems like yesterday he was chasing after a child who wanted red meat, and today he even has a daughter-in-law, time flies so fast. But, luckily, he found a daughter-in-law that I like, I’m kind of satisfied with that.”
Mia, as much as she liked Lily and loved the family, but her face turned red like a tomato when Lily said that, a little head lowered almost into her chest, and her voice was even lower, “What are you talking about, who wants to be his daughter-in-law?”
“What do you say? If you don’t make me a daughter-in-law, who else are you going to marry?” At some point Asher appeared in the kitchen doorway, arms around his chest looking at the little woman who was blushing up to her neck with a happy face.
“Who told you to eavesdrop? When did you get here and what did you hear?” Mia’s face was even more sheepish at his teasing, and in front of Lily.
“I haven’t been here for a while, but I just got here and I heard that someone wasn’t going to be my daughter-in-law, and I was so sad that I’m now shedding tears.” Asher did as he said and immediately acted sad.
“No shit, auntie’s still here!” Did this guy know that his mother was here, and he actually took her in his arms like that, it was outrageous.
Lily looked at the young couple flirting in front of her and smiled a smile that seemed sweet to her heart, “Haha, well, it seems I’m the one in the way. I’ll go out and move the molly back from the yard first, there’s a chance it’s going to rain today.”
Lily said and was about to walk out, trying to catch up with Lily, but Asher had no intention of letting go? Now Mia was so desperate that her face turned red and she glared at Asher.
Asher gave Mia a light peck on the cheek, “Okay, let go of you.”
As soon as Asher lets go of Mia, Mia runs to the door to stop Lily who is on her way out.
“Auntie, I’ll go.” Mia smiled awkwardly, glanced at Asher, and ran off towards the outside.
“Hey, Mia .” Lily didn’t have time to call out to Mia before Mia ran out. But turning back, she met Asher’s mocking eyes and shook her head helplessly.
“Damn Asher, damn Asher, it’s okay to talk about me in front of my aunt, even if you talk about me, you even hug me, how can I be embarrassed, you are really too reckless.” Mia beamed and stomped the ground in anger, “This is good, you made me afraid to see my aunt.”
“It’s your fault for making me so shy! How do you make me feel good?” Mia beamed all the way to the yard, “It’s a good thing I can have an excuse to escape, otherwise how would you make me face my aunt?”
Mia looked at Jasmine off to the side, the blush on her little face still fading. But, just then, an instinct that made her feel an inexplicable chill.
“Who?” Mia felt a figure keep shifting around as if it was carrying something towards the back of the yard. But no one answered, and Mia, convinced that her eyes were not wrong, immediately followed after the dark figure.
A man in a blue and gray worker’s outfit was seen pushing some cans on a cart in his hand, looking from side to side.
“Huh? This person has never been seen before, how come this person looks and feels so familiar?” Mia slowly leaned over with a question in her mind, trying to see who this person really was.
The man in work clothes, who was not very tall and had a pair of workers’ gloves in his hand, looked around, saw that no one was around, stopped the cart and began to unload those cans.
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Mia asked, still not holding back, stepping forward.
But it seemed the man didn’t react, unloading things while prying open the unloaded cans.
“Let the flames burn everything!” Suddenly the man kicked the open jar to the ground, the man’s voice tinged with madness and hatred.
“Gasoline? What a strong smell of gasoline!” The sudden overwhelming smell of gasoline made Mia, who was standing off to the side, double awake with fright! She immediately ran from behind the bushes and grabbed the worker who was kicking the gasoline can, tugging hard on the worker’s clothes and holding her by the waist to prevent her from continuing her misdeeds, “Stop it! What are you doing? Why are you putting gasoline in someone’s house? What are you doing?”
“Let go of me!” Suddenly a woman’s voice reached Mia’s ears, “I’m just going to burn you, just going to burn you, what I can’t have, you can’t have, I want you all to be buried with me, haha …”
This is a woman?
What’s going on?
This voice is so familiar, this voice seems to be …
“Let go of me, bitch, let go of me!” The entire person’s muzzle had fallen off due to the tearing fight with Mia, and when the light came on, Mia realized that the person was still Lina!
“Lena? What are you doing here, and what are you doing with all that gasoline?” Mia shivered as she looked at Lina who smelled of gasoline, what the hell was this woman up to? Bringing gasoline here, and in disguise?
Is it hard to say that she wants to burn down the Jun family?
