Chapter 368
Xu Ke made a phone call right in front of Xu Jiahui, and as they waited, Xu Ke sat back in his chair. Both of their gazes involuntarily fixed on the doorway, waiting for the person who would soon come through.
Xu Jiahui didn’t even know what kind of state of mind she had while waiting, but when the door opened and she saw the two people who usually accompanied her sides walk in, her heart unexpectedly ached for a moment. It was brief, but it nearly took her breath away.
“Why?” Xu Jiahui looked at the two people in front of her with a face full of confusion and asked.
“Was I not good enough to you? Was your salary not high enough? Was your job not easy enough? Why betray me?” One question after another poured out of Xu Jiahui’s mouth.
Agu still maintained his poker face, but the bodyguard who liked Xu Jiahui couldn’t help but shed tears.
“I’m sorry.” He spoke up.
“I do like you, but I also have responsibilities to my brothers. They were doing just fine in America, and I called them over. I can’t abandon them.” The bodyguard’s face was full of tears—even though he was a man nearly two meters tall, he was crying like a child, afraid to look up at Xu Jiahui’s expression.
“And you? He betrayed me for his ridiculous brothers, but what about you? For what?” Xu Jiahui withdrew her confused gaze from the man and turned it to Agu.
Agu, who had just been expressionless, now showed a relieved smile. “Of course it’s because you’re disgusting.” He said softly.
“Do you know? Every time after I’m with you, I have to take three showers. I feel like you’re the dirtiest woman I’ve ever met. If I don’t shower, I feel like I’ve been polluted by you. You’re just too disgusting, there were several times I almost threw up right in front of you.” Agu’s face displayed obvious disgust.
This look of disgust from those who spent every day with her was like a sieve piercing through Xu Jiahui’s heart.
Xu Jiahui’s eyes were wide open, filled with tears and red blood vessels, but not a single tear fell.
“So this is what you think of me. To think I regarded you as my confidants, only to find one is a scheming wolf and the other a coward. My eyes have grown in vain. I always thought I could see through people’s hearts and nature, yet I failed to see the intent of the two wolves closest to me. Hahaha.” Xu Jiahui bent over with laughter, tears falling from her eyes unnoticed to the floor where they disappeared into the carpet.
The three men in the room—one dared not look up, hiding his head desperately like an ostrich, while the other two were unmoved by her performance.
Just as Xu Jiahui was crying in sorrow, the door opened once more, and Housekeeper Zhao entered with a kindly smile, wrinkles lining his face. His hands, aged like dead wood, grabbed Xu Jiahui’s arm, pulling her back to her senses from her emotions.
“Who are you, what are you doing, where are you taking me?” Realizing that Housekeeper Zhao wanted to drag her outside, Xu Jiahui showed panic for the first time. What people fear is not the known, but the unknown.
Even though the outside was bright as day, Xu Jiahui felt like the outside was the mouth of a beast, waiting to swallow her whole.
“Please, calm down. I don’t want to use any force on a beautiful lady. I hope you can understand my wish to be a perfect gentleman, right?” Housekeeper Zhao smiled warmly at Xu Jiahui.
Though it was a friendly smile, it made Xu Jiahui shiver uncontrollably, nullifying any chance of resistance. In the blink of an eye, Xu Jiahui was pushed into the adjacent room.
The adjacent room was the polar opposite of Xu Ke’s. It was as bright as day, everything in white. In the center stood an enormous bed, surrounded by the latest cameras, all aimed at the lone bed.
Xu Jiahui felt a sense of unease growing in her heart.
“What is this, what are you going to do to me?” Xu Jiahui’s belated shame led her to cover her private areas with her hands, her expression one of rare panic and anxiety.
“Just a small gift chosen according to your taste. I’m sure you’ll like it.” Housekeeper Zhao said with a smile. As he clapped his hands, a dozen men emerged from behind him, precisely the ones she had sent here initially.
Xu Jiahui took an uncontrolled step back, a thought began to form in her mind.
“You can’t do this to me.” Xu Jiahui widened her eyes, retreating.
“Don’t forget what you promised the Family Head. I hope you can complete the task satisfactorily. I’ll have someone watching you.” Housekeeper Zhao cast his gaze around the room at the cameras. Despite being much stronger than Housekeeper Zhao, the men couldn’t help but tremble. Heaven knows how relieved they were to walk out of that secret room. As long as it didn’t mean going back there, they’d do anything. It was truly horrifying, a living hell.
Housekeeper Zhao nodded in satisfaction and closed the door with a collective effort, locking them in the room.
“Don’t come near me. I’m a daughter of the Xu Family. If any of you touch me today, not one of you will survive. The Xu Family will not spare you.” Xu Jiahui tried to use her family background to intimidate the dozen men approaching her, their eyes filled with wolf-like menace.
But her efforts were doomed to fail. None of the men advancing on her showed any fear or hesitation in their eyes, and in fact, they carried a hint of mockery and disdain.
“If you kill me, so be it. As long as I don’t fall into Mr. Xu’s hands, anything else is heaven to me.” One man said casually, undressing as he approached.
“From the moment I met Mr. Xu, I realized that death was such a blissful thing, if not cherished, it’s indeed a grave sin.” One commented.
Their words earned unanimous agreement, leaving Xu Jiahui bewildered. What on earth had they experienced to make such statements!
