Chapter 213 The Crying Little Girl
Xia Ling got up to wash up and put on a jade-green sweater. Her long hair was loosely tied into a bun and fixed with a unique camellia hairpin. She put on light makeup to cover up her haggard look due to not sleeping well last night, and made herself look radiant and 360 degrees without any blind spots.
Li Lei said: "You are so beautiful."
Xia Ling smiled softly. She was his girlfriend and she couldn't embarrass him. What's more, she had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and her every move had become natural. She couldn't allow herself to show the slightest flaw in front of strangers.
People came to visit one after another.
Before each visitor comes in, she will listen to Li Leike's identity, background, temperament, and their relationship with friends and foes. The relationship between their family is indeed complicated. At first, Xia Ling could barely remember it, but then she became dizzy after listening to it. "The third aunt is my sixth brother and sister's enemy, but the sixth brother's distant nephew is related to the third aunt's uncle." The relationship is very strong." "Besides me, my seventeenth cousin is my grandpa's favorite. The relationship between my seventeenth cousin and my second uncle's family is not good, and my second uncle is inciting my fourth cousin to sabotage her marriage."... Xia Ling felt that she was lucky not to faint on the spot.
"How many people are there in your family?" One morning passed, holding a long list of appointments to visit, and I was getting more out of breath than in. God, she has been laughing with her all morning, but she has only met a few of the people on this list!
Li Lei was also embarrassed: "Grandpa likes to be lively, and everyone rushes back as much as possible during the Chinese New Year, so there are more people." He comforted her: "However, there are still many people who are dealing with business outside. Don't worry, these are not all. "
Don't worry? !
This was so unreasonable, she was about to cry.
Li Lei came up to rub her shoulders and hit her back: "Tired? Then she will disappear in the afternoon. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future. I will accompany you to the nearby beach for a walk. It has a beautiful sea view and coconut trees."
Xia Ling didn't want to abuse herself anymore and nodded in agreement.
The two went to the beach hand in hand. The sea breeze in the afternoon was warm, the sun was shining like gold on the blue sea, and the warm breath of the tide made people unable to help but be intoxicated. Her depressed mood since yesterday finally improved. After walking with Li Lei for a while, her body and mind relaxed and she fell asleep.
Li Lei took her to the rest area by the beach. There was a hammock in the woods and helped her lie down on it.
"Sleep for a while, I'll get you a blanket." He said, leaned over, kissed her, and left.
Xia Ling was lying on the small hammock obediently, with the sea breeze blowing gently and her long skirt dragging on the floor. She half-closed her eyes and enjoyed her leisure time, as if she was dreaming or waking up, and faintly heard someone crying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." intermittently.
Xia Ling gradually regained consciousness. She raised her body from the hammock and turned to look. There was actually a little girl sitting by a coconut tree not far behind her, crying like a little cat. , especially pitiful.
Xia Ling couldn't help but get off the hammock, squatted down and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
The seven or eight-year-old girl raised her head and looked at Xia Ling with eyes swollen like walnuts from crying, sobbing and choking: "I, I, wuwuwu... they don't like me, and they don't take me with them. Play... Wuwuwu, when we were playing hide and seek, they asked me to turn around and count. By the time I counted from one to a hundred, they had already run away... I searched for a long time, but couldn't find it... Wuwu. Wuwuwuwu..." the little girl said and cried, the more she cried, the sadder she became.
Xia Ling's heart softened: "They don't like you?"
The little girl cried and nodded: "My eldest cousin, my third cousin, my ninth sister, they said I was a motherless child. They all bullied me and didn't even want to play with me. But, I really want to play with them." …”
The little girl wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Xia Ling remembered that when she was a child, she was also ostracized by a group of children in the orphanage. Because she was pretty, smart and popular with the adults, they were jealous of her, tore her hair tie, threw her shoes into the ditch, and would not take her with them every time they played group games. , or push and bully her.
At that time, little Xia Ling was trapped in a tight siege alone, without anyone to help her.
Now, when she saw this little girl, she couldn't help but want to help her. Xia Ling said to the little girl, "What's your name? How about we play together? I'll ask someone to bring you delicious snacks."
The little girl blinked her eyes and looked at her, then suddenly cried again: "Wow, wow, sister, you are so kind..."
Xia Ling touched her head comfortingly: "Come, follow sister."
But the little girl said: "I can't walk, wuwuwu, my foot is twisted. Sister, can you take me home? My name is Li Xiaoxing, and my father's name is Li Qingshu, wuwuwu, I want to go home..."
Li Qingshu?
Xia Ling finally found this name from the database that was forcefully instilled by Li Lei this morning. After recalling it for a long time, it seemed that she was someone with good connections in Li Lei's lineage. Since she was his daughter, she had to pay more attention to it. Wanting to do something for Li Lei, she tried to pick up Li Xiaoxing. The little girl is very light, but Xia Ling has been practicing dancing all year round. Although she is petite, she has good physical strength for a girl. At this time, she hugged Li Xiaoxing and walked a few steps, which was not too strenuous.
"Do you know how to get to your house?" Xia Ling asked gently.
"I know." Li Xiaoxing pointed her in the direction.
After a while, they came to a large and beautifully decorated house.
"This is my home," Li Xiaoxing said, "Sister, please put me down first and go to the steps and ring the doorbell. The servants at home will come and carry me in."
Although the little girl was light, Xia Ling carried her for a long distance and was a little tired, so she gently put her on the lawn and walked to the steps to ring the doorbell.
The doorbell rings.
The closed door was not opened.
Xia Ling just wanted to turn around and tell Li Xiaoxing that there was no one at home. Suddenly, she felt her feet were empty and she fell in.
She felt a pain in her body and fell to the ground. There was a "splash" above her head, and some warm and smelly liquid poured over her head and face. She felt like vomiting, and the smell of blood spread in the space. She was very scared. She wanted to see whether the blood poured on her body was blood, but she found that she couldn't see her fingers around her.
What is going on?
She just rang the doorbell, why did it suddenly fall off?
Where is this place? Is Li Xiaoxing okay?
She looked up and saw that the flap she had fallen down had been closed, and there was darkness above, without any light. She heard Li Xiaoxing's bell-like voice coming from the ground: "Li Xiaolong, Li Canglan, you all come out! I've caught the person, hahaha."
