1650 Another Nightmare
Ever since Huang Chong didn’t die, Yuan Yuan couldn’t help but feel terrified and afraid of having another nightmare. Yang Ji didn’t die, and now, Huang Chong wasn’t dead either. One could imagine how anxious Yuan Yuan was.
Over the past few days, Mother Xia had called her several times to ask her to go over, but Yuan Yuan could only demur reluctantly. She really liked Xia Mingcheng, but no matter how much she liked or loved him, they weren’t fated to be together. No matter how much she loved him, how could she be with Mingcheng forever?
Moreover, even though she didn’t have a nightmare for several days, the uneasiness in her heart increased day by day.
Thinking of how Yang Ji and Huang Chong had been saved one after another, Yuan Yuan gritted her teeth in hatred. Why did that woman keep opposing her? Why did she save Yang Ji and Huang Chong? Couldn’t she just let them die?
She would make that Chi woman pay.
The more Yuan Yuan thought about it, the more her face twisted malevolently. Her cold eyes burned with hatred, scaring Chai Qing, who had just come out of her room and was yawning. When she saw Yuan Yuan in front of her, she inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine. For some reason, her face stiffened and she subconsciously said, “Sister Yuan, why aren’t you asleep?”
Speaking of which, Sister Yuan had seemed very irritable lately, and only told Chai Qing to visit Huang Chong and contact Yang Ji from time to time.
Although Chai Qing was curious, it wasn’t good for her to ask. Ever since she probed Sister Yuan the first time round and was ignored, Chai Qing didn’t dare ask more. Although she was curious, she still had some brains. What if Sister Yuan didn’t like her?
As for contacting Yang Ji and the others, Chai Qing didn’t have a good relationship with them to begin with. Ever since they ignored her after she contacted them, she couldn’t be bothered to do so anymore. In any case, she could just make things up, and Sister Yuan wouldn’t know.
That was indeed what she had thought before, but when she saw Sister Yuan’s very unsightly face under the living room light, she couldn’t help but feel a little uncertain, afraid that Sister Yuan would ask her about it.
Sure enough, whatever you were afraid of happening would happen.
When Yuan Yuan saw Chai Qing, she regained her usual expression. However, her nerves had been very frayed recently, and she looked impatient and irritable. She no longer pretended to be as gentle as before, and didn’t appear easy to get along with. Occasionally, she would look at Chi Shuyan with a sinister gaze, which was really creepy.
“What are Yang Ji and the others up to lately? What did they say? Also, have you visited Huang Chong recently? Is there someone watching him day and night?”
Chai Qing wasn’t confident and really didn’t dare let Yuan Yuan know that she hadn’t done as she was told. She pretended to be calm and nodded. “Sister Yuan, I contacted Yang Ji and the others, but unfortunately, they didn’t say anything!”
When Yuan Yuan heard this, she immediately frowned and looked at Chai Qing in displeasure. Chai Qing’s heart thumped and she hurriedly added, “Sister Yuan, it’s really not that I don’t want to contact them. I call Yang Ji, Wang Jinyang and the others from time to time; I don’t know if they have a problem with you, but they ignore me!”
As soon as Chai Qing said that, Yuan Yuan’s suspicions were confirmed. Could it be that the Chi woman had said something she shouldn’t have, and Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji and the others had really started to suspect her?
In fact, when Yuan Yuan went to see Huang Chong before, she already had an idea when she saw the wary gazes of those people; it was just that she hadn’t wanted to dwell on it. If Wang Jinyang, Yang Ji, Li Xiaoyan and Yi Junzhong all suspected her, what about Xia Mingcheng?
Yuan Yuan’s expression was very complicated, filled with hatred and anxiety.
Seeing that Yuan Yuan seemed to be lost in thought, Chai Qing heaved a sigh of relief and continued to spout nonsense. “Sister Yuan, I can see now that Yang Ji and Wang Jinyang really don’t think much of you, plus they’re indifferent toward me. We shouldn’t bother with such ungrateful people. Sooner or later, they’ll definitely regret it! I wonder what kind of potion that Chi woman gave Yang Ji and the others. They believe everything that woman says, even Brother Xia!”
Chai Qing thought of how Brother Xia had also been there when that woman went to see Huang Chong in the evening. Perhaps that woman had deliberately chosen to visit when Brother Xia was there so that she could get close to him. The more Chai Qing thought about it, the angrier she became. When she brought this up with Yuan Yuan, sure enough, Yuan Yuan’s face changed drastically. Her face turned livid and she gritted her teeth in hatred.
Chai Qing took in Yuan Yuan’s livid and unsightly face and gloated in her heart.
Yuan Yuan quickly changed the subject and asked, “What about Huang Chong?”
In fact, Chai Qing’s heart still jumped when she thought of Huang Chong. She occasionally wondered if what happened to him was an accident or something else. However, Yang Ji wasn’t dead yet, and Sister Yuan had said that he would die for sure. As long as he wasn’t dead, it naturally wouldn’t be anyone else’s turn yet, so what happened to Huang Chong was most likely an accident.
The more Chai Qing thought about it, the more she felt that was the case. As for why Sister Yuan cared so much about Huang Chong, she was very puzzled. She hid her thoughts and couldn’t ask much, so she could only nod and answer Sister Yuan’s question. “Mm, Huang Chong is fine. The doctor said that he’ll be discharged after a while. Yang Ji, Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan take turns sitting with Huang Chong every day. By the way, there are two police officers guarding the door of Huang Chong’s ward. They said it was on Director Feng’s order!”
The more Chai Qing spoke, the deeper Yuan Yuan frowned. Chai Qing wasn’t looking at Yuan Yuan, so she naturally didn’t notice her strange expression. She just gloated. “Why are they bothering to guard Huang Chong? He was just unlucky. No one wants to harm him, so what’s there to guard against? What a waste of time! Anyone who doesn’t know better would think that Huang Chong is some bigshot! Bah!” Chai Qing’s tone was very contemptuous when she said the last sentence.
After listening to Chai Qing, the veins on Yuan Yuan’s neck throbbed. She was about to speak, when her thigh suddenly started to hurt and itch.
At that moment, Chai Qing smelled a stench and blurted out, “Sister Yuan, do you smell anything? It smells especially bad!”
Yuan Yuan’s face changed drastically and was incomparably stiff as she said that she didn’t smell anything.
Who would have thought that Chai Qing would be stubborn at that moment? She sniffed hard for a while longer and said, “Sister Yuan, I really smell something. It really stinks, like rotten meat.”
Chai Qing looked around for rotten meat and didn’t see the increasingly dangerous and cold gaze that Yuan Yuan was giving her at all. She didn’t think much of it and continued to babble. “Wait, Sister Yuan, why do I feel that this smell… is coming from you?”
As soon as Chai Qing blurted out the words, she immediately came back to her senses. It seemed she had offended Sister Yuan. Afraid that Sister Yuan would be angry, she hurriedly looked up and wanted to explain, but who would have thought that Sister Yuan would smile gently at her? Her tone was also very good. “Ah Qing, the smell really isn’t on me. You’re probably mistaken. Okay, it’s getting late. I’m going to bed first!”
With that, Yuan Yuan turned around. When she turned around, the gentleness on her face was swept away and replaced with a cold and sinister expression.
Chai Qing could only stare blankly at Yuan Yuan’s back. It was useless no matter how anxious she was. Fortunately, Sister Yuan didn’t blame her. Thinking this, Chai Qing was relieved.
Now, she was the only one who was willing to stay on Sister Yuan’s side. Sister Yuan would definitely be very grateful to her. As for Huang Chong, he could join the others; without him around, Chai Qing was the only one whom Sister Yuan could use. As long as she was attentive to Sister Yuan during this period of time, Sister Yuan would definitely protect her.
In the bedroom, Yuan Yuan locked the door before she immediately took off her pants. She saw that the large black growth on her thigh had grown a lot larger. Moreover, the faces on the growth had rotting pustules on them. It was a ghastly and disgusting sight.
Yuan Yuan was already used to seeing the growth and the faces on her thigh, but she didn’t stop frowning when she saw the pustules and rotting flesh.
She couldn’t help but wonder why Yang Ji and Huang Chong hadn’t died. If the two of them had died as planned, this black growth wouldn’t have gotten bigger or started rotting.
The more Yuan Yuan thought about it, the more hatred she felt. Looking at the wound, she felt a little numb. She endured the itchiness and pain, and she could only ignore the black growth for now as she went to take a shower.
As long as they all died one by one, she would be able to return to a normal life sooner or later and grow old with Xia Mingcheng. Yes, all of them would die!
