The old man looked down at his coarse palm, his face as normal, and if it weren’t for Tai’s instantly swollen half-face and the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, it would be almost impossible to believe what he had just done.
“Is smartness a new skill you’ve learned?”
Tai’s voice trembled slightly, “Ah Gong, I have no intention to hide it from Ah Gong.”
“But you still concealed it, and instead of reporting your whereabouts first, you took matters into your own hands, and I don’t care what you did to get there, that is no reason for you to act privately.”
Although the old man was old, he spoke in a muddy and calm voice, not angry, “Your one carelessness will lead to countless people wasting their time, money, and strength because of you. Had I known you were so insouciant, I would not have saved you at all in this negotiation.”
Tai clenched his fists and listened to the reprimand in silence.
After a long time, he suddenly asked, “Grandpa, if I reported my whereabouts after I escaped, would you still save Little Night?”
The old man frowned and showed his face in disbelief.
“How many times have I taught you not to put your limited energy into people who don’t matter.”
Irrelevant people.
Yes, for Black Wolf, no matter who is in him and Calla Moon, it only matters when there is value, when there is no value it is discarded like grass, how would he spend time and effort to exchange a worthless person back.
Taking a step back, if one day his own value to him disappears, then he will also become like Calla Moon to him.
“I got it, Grandpa.”
“Hmph,” the old man snorted coldly, “I see you don’t know enough to go to San and collect your punishment yourself.”
“Yes.”
He left the lawn, his shadow shone short by the blazing sun, a dark mass right at his feet, the doubts he had always had about his existence over the years following him like a shadow, this moment to the extreme.
—
The maids brought over food, all Southeast Asian specialties.
Amelia Bright was eating okay, but Aily was uncomfortable.
“It’s so bad, it tastes so weird, I’m going to throw up.”
“Eat this,” Amelia Bright fished out a compressed cookie from inside her pocket, which was given by Tai when she was on the boat, and the ones she didn’t finish were secretly hidden away.
Watching Aily eat the compressed cookies, Amelia Bright was a bit worried and warned, “Aily, I’m afraid we have to be prepared to stay here for a long time, even if we escape, it’s a long way from here to the embassy, you have to get used to the food here.”
Aily although young, but very understanding, sniffing a mouthful of compressed cookies, looking at the plate of food inside a difficult swallow, reluctantly eat.
“No need to rush, take your time, eat a little bit a day, you will always get used to it.”
“Hmm.”
The good thing is that Ann still has most of the can of milk powder, as long as there is water, eating is not a problem.
Late at night, the sound of servants talking came from outside, very respectful.
Amelia Bright, who was already a light sleeper, woke up from her dream at once and looked alertly at the door.
Tai seemed to be injured and the maids assisted him to take care of it.
As she expected, the black wolf really punished him, it can be seen that Farren Austin’s previous analysis is right, the black wolf did not take the pair of siblings seriously, one is the use of all the value of the discarded, the rest of the current still have value, so stay, but for his private actions or give the punishment.
When you think about it, this brother and sister are also poor people.
I don’t know how long it took, but the ‘creaking’ sound of the door opening was particularly clear in the dark night.
Aily also woke up with a start.
“Sis.”
Amelia Bright shielded her behind her and looked warily at Tai who entered the door.
The strong smell of wine covered the sandalwood scent inside the room, and he drank wine.
“Clang”, the vase on the table was knocked over by him, and the moment it hit the ground, it shattered into countless pieces.
“Do you know what I came to see you for?”
Amelia Bright’s face was tight and she was too nervous to speak.
A drunk person, you can hardly guess what he will do next, and it is difficult to control his mind.
“I’m going to send you to Little Night, to be her servant for the rest of your life, to be her cow and horse, Little Night is my sister, my only family in this world, she deserves the best, you stole the man she likes, so you don’t get it either.”
He spoke incoherently about something that made no sense.
Amelia Bright instructed Aily to hold An An, her spirit was like a taut string, paying full attention to Tai’s movements.
“I didn’t steal the guy she liked, she didn’t want it, and now that I’ve divorced Farren Austin, you can go get it back for her again if she likes it.”
“You bullshit!” Tai glared at her, his face red, “How can two people with different positions be together?”
Amelia Bright frowned, more and more unable to understand what Tai was saying.
Tai, however, did not have the patience to talk to her anymore, and after muttering something to himself that she could not understand, he suddenly clapped his hands and
“Someone, come in.”
The sound of clapping fell a split second, the outside came in two short beaten men, not tall, tiger back, looking very fierce.
“Send this woman to Little Night and tell her to serve her well, and if she doesn’t listen and doesn’t know what to do, beat her.”
After a brief and concise sentence, two hans immediately came up to pull people.
“Sister …”
Aily got anxious and hurriedly put down Ann and went to drag Amelia Bright.
“Let go of my sister, you guys.”
The big man impatiently pushed by the hand, Aily fell straight to the wall.
Amelia Bright said sharply.
“Aily, shine Chambers well anon, I’ll be fine.”
Saying that, she broke free from the shackles of the two hans and chided
“Don’t touch me, I’ll go on my own.”
The two hans couldn’t understand what she was saying, but Tai next to her sneered and gibbered as if to translate for her, and the two hans nodded and made an inviting gesture.
Amelia Bright followed the two men around the corridor towards the other courtyard.
Just now Tai said to send her to the place where Calla Moon lives to her as a maid, Calla Moon is a terrible woman she has seen, she hates herself so much, fall into her hands, not dead or have to take off the skin.
The two men stopped in front of a carved mahogany door, said something, pushed the door open a crack that could only accommodate a person to enter sideways, and then looked at Amelia Bright.
She hesitated for a moment, pointing to herself and then to the doorway.
The two men nodded their heads at the same time.
This means that you have to go in yourself.
There are wolves in front and tigers at the back, how to die, the unknown may be better, so comforted himself, Amelia Bright hard into the house.
This room is almost the same layout as the one she was locked up in before, the only difference is that this room is decorated with all kinds of furnishings, the purple veil on the big bed penetrates the strong court style, extra noble.
But the house, it seems, is empty.
