Became a vicious male mother

198

Two days have passed since he was sidelined by that brat Li Hetai.

Company matters excluded him, and Li Hetai stopped contacting him. Most of the time, he would follow behind Li Hetai, looking at his phone or spacing out.

The only thing that could cheer me up during this period was to ask the system the next day whether the duration of my session the night before had decreased or not.

Sometimes the temperature drops for a few hours, and sometimes it doesn't drop at all. The key thing is that I can't see Li Hetai every morning when I wake up.

He also asked the system if it needed to check for bugs, but the system said there were no errors, so the only problem must be Li Hetai.

It didn't snow all day yesterday. The snow on the ground melted and became wet, and the water reflected the sky, making it look gloomy.

Gu Xinglan nestled on the sofa in the Zhang family's villa, wearing a mask, drinking tea through a straw while reading a book.

The words in the book are like living people; you get a different feeling every time you read them.

He was a bit irritable right now, so he couldn't concentrate on reading more than half a page.

"Uncle, did you see a dark figure last night?" The person who came out of the bathroom looked haggard, with increasingly deep eye bags, and his voice was weak and slurred.

"Zhang Cheng, look at the corner of your eye."

Gu Xinglan pointed to the corner of her right eye.

A small scar, already scabbed over, was located next to the boy's right eye.

"Did I cut you while I was cutting your bangs yesterday?" He squatted down to look for the first-aid kit.

Upon hearing his words, Zhang Cheng looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with shock and fear. He scrambled to Gu Xinglan's side, asking, "Uncle, did you... see...?"

The boy repeated it again, and Gu Xinglan thought for a moment and shook her head.

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened.

Deep down, I neither want to admit it nor deny it.

“You didn’t see it, but I did.” Zhang Cheng bit his fingernails, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Gu Xinglan paused in her rummaging through the first-aid kit, panicking. "Where is he? Did you see him there with your own eyes?"

Could it be that Li Hetai really came back in the middle of the night? If so, he shouldn't have run upstairs to scare people, especially since the door has a smart lock.

"Have you been sleeping poorly lately? You don't need to go out to buy breakfast later, I'll do it."

The boy buys breakfast in the morning, they order takeout for lunch, and he buys groceries and cooks dinner in the evening. This routine has been going on for several days now.

"Breakfast?! I didn't buy breakfast at all!" Zhang Cheng shouted loudly, as if he had caught something unbelievable.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, he glanced timidly at Gu Xinglan and asked weakly, "Did my brother and the others come back secretly?"

But Gu Xinglan had no intention of answering; her face was filled with shock.

Wasn't breakfast bought by Zhang Cheng?

"I'll sleep in the bed tonight, and you can sleep on the sofa. What do you think?" He swallowed hard.

"..."

Zhang Cheng fell silent, and after a long while, shook his head.

“That’s my brother’s room. He doesn’t like strangers sleeping in his bed. Let’s sleep downstairs together.”

The two of them had been chatting from time to time these past few days, and he was very clear about the Zhang family's disregard and contempt for Zhang Cheng, their illegitimate son. Zhang Cheng's occasional sadness also showed that he was not a completely ignorant person.

However, when facing the Zhang family, they still treated them with almost perfect respect.

The layers of dark clouds eventually began to rain, and the pitter-patter of the rain made people inexplicably impatient.

The financial channel on TV was broadcasting news that the Zhang family's company had been acquired by the Li family, and that the Li Group had replaced Chang Geng as the largest shareholder.

However, what's puzzling is that the informant he had previously sent out told him that the Li Group had already sold back its shares in Changgeng at a high price, and this matter had not yet been announced to the outside world.

It was neither an acquisition of Changgeng nor becoming Changgeng's largest shareholder.

What exactly does Lai Tae-ha want?

Gu Xinglan's messages went unanswered.

This matter seems to have come to an end just like that...

Yet, he, as one of the main actors in this play, knew nothing about it.

night.

Gu Xinglan sat on the sofa, listening to Zhang Cheng's snoring, which came in varying volumes.

A midnight movie played silently on the television; the incoherent art film seemed both long and boring.

Finally, a faint sound suddenly drifted out from upstairs.

Finally, her drowsy mind cleared, and Gu Xinglan flipped off the sofa, stepping barefoot onto the floor.

The floor was so shiny from being swept by the robot vacuum that it reflected light. With ten rounded toes pointing outwards, they walked upstairs step by step.

My foot stopped at that door with a "thud".

The crack in the door widened, but there was no one inside.

Upon seeing what he wanted to see, his eyes crinkled into a smile. He first locked the door with his fingerprint, then went to the balcony and locked the balcony door as well.

The transparent ribbon that was originally placed on the top of the balcony floated down... Someone climbed over the balcony.

In the enclosed space, the radiators continuously emitted heat, and the temperature rose higher and higher.

Gu Xinglan walked to the bedside, lowered her head and carefully looked under the bed, and finally focused her gaze on the dressing room.

My fingertips lightly rested on the doorknob of the walk-in closet.

The sound of his heartbeat was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped into his palm as he gripped the doorknob.

With a "click," a fragrant breeze wafted out the moment it was turned on.

The cloying scent of agarwood is mixed with an indescribable floral fragrance.

Gu Xinglan squinted, using the dim light to look at the suit jackets neatly hanging in the dressing room.

You wouldn't notice unless you looked closely, but the clothes were swaying gently, as if someone had just passed through them.

When you pull open the clothes rack, all sorts of clothes are piled up inside, like a medium-sized dog's kennel.

There was a water cup and two books next to it, as well as two small nightlights, one charging and the other glowing faintly.

He touched it and found the lamp was still warm.

In fact, he had long suspected that Li Hetai was in the house every night, after all, it was freezing cold outside and Li Taihe had given orders.

Since I wasn't sleeping outside or in the Changgu villa, I could only be sleeping in this villa, sneaking in quietly at sunset and leaving quietly at dawn.

The truth is now out: Lai Ho-Thai was sleeping in this walk-in closet.

The dark figure Zhang Cheng saw every night was Li Hetai.

He just didn't understand why the other party wouldn't come out.

Before Gu Xinglan could explore any further, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Got you!"

The sound startled Gu Xinglan.

With a "bang," the door to the walk-in closet slammed shut, plunging the room into darkness.

"Zhang Cheng!"

Gu Xinglan hurriedly ran to pull the door, but it wouldn't open at all.

"I've already locked it!" Zhang Cheng stood outside the door. "You thief! You usurper!"

"..." Gu Xinglan was completely dumbfounded.

"If there's any misunderstanding, can you please let me out first?"

"There's no misunderstanding, your family must have been kidnapped by you!" Zhang Cheng's face turned red.

None of the four family members had ever appeared. A stranger suddenly appeared in the house wearing a mask. He started getting close to him on the first day, asking him for information, and even spying on him every night. And those locked rooms must be hiding his father and mother!

Every day he would stuff food and water into the crack of the door, and he would also put razor blades in there, but no one ever came out.

Just yesterday, this person actually cut his bangs. The chilling madness and oppressive feeling made him almost unable to breathe.
