Chapter 91 - 91 Evil Neighbor
The woman was carrying a large bag of things she had just bought from the supermarket. She enthusiastically gave her a few fruits and smiled. “You’re still a student, right? You must be studying hard since you come back so late every day. You need to eat more to nourish yourself.”
He Miao accepted it with a smile. When she got home, she took out a few bottles of imported milk from the refrigerator as a return gift. Grandpa Jing had someone send them over. She knocked on the door of her neighbor upstairs.
The person who opened the door was not the woman she had just met, but a man with a buzz cut and a face full of stubble.
The man opened the door impatiently and cursed, “I told you to bring your keys with you when you go out, why did you have to trouble me to open the door for you? Why can’t you learn from your mistakes? are you deliberately making me unhappy?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady standing at the door, holding a few bottles of milk that he had never seen before. He was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes were glued to He Miao. He asked with a smile, “Little girl, who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Aunty Li,” He Miao ignored the man’s undisguised gaze and said indifferently.
The man immediately stepped aside in surprise. “So you’re looking for my wife. Come in and have a seat. She just went downstairs to throw away the trash. She’ll be back soon. ”
“No, I won’t.” He Miao turned to leave, but the man grabbed her arm with a perverted look.
He looked friendly, but he blocked He Miao’s way with evil intentions. “Little girl, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Come in and have a cup of tea. Your Auntie Li will be upstairs soon. What are you afraid of? ”
He Miao glanced at his arm in disgust. She frowned and turned to the side to avoid his hand. Her voice was slightly impatient. “I said, no need.”
After the man was rejected, there was an obvious layer of anger on his face.
Familiar footsteps could be heard from the corridor. The man shut his mouth and looked coldly at the woman who was rushing up the stairs with a stunned expression.
“What are you doing here?” Aunty Li’s eyes hesitantly wandered back and forth between her husband and the girl she had just met.
Aunty Li quickly accepted the milk with a smile after He Miao’s explanation. “It’s been hard on you. You even went upstairs to bring it to me personally. But it’s getting late now. It’s too dangerous for a young lady like you to be out alone. You’d better hurry home.”
“What are you saying!” The man glared at Aunty Li in dissatisfaction, then quickly went to He Miao with an obsequious smile. “Why don’t you come over to our house and have a chat? We’re all neighbors. What’s so dangerous about that? Your Aunty Li is just an alarmist, don’t believe her.”
He Miao put some distance between them in disgust and smiled at Aunty Li. “Then I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll go back first.”
The man stretched his neck and watched as He Miao left. He saw with his own eyes that she had gone into one of the rooms downstairs before he dragged Aunty Li into the house angrily. “So you know such a beautiful girl. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“She’s still a child!” Aunty Li’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Over the years, her husband had been out eating, drinking, womanizing, and gambling, and she did not dare to raise any objections. She had endured it and lived with him, but she did not expect that he would go from bad to worse. He would hit and scold her, and now he had his eyes on the little girl who had just moved in.
“What do you know?” The man gave Aunty Li a tight slap and pointed at her nose as he scolded, “You still dare to talk to me like that? I’m telling you, you have to help me trick this little girl into coming home, or I’ll kill you!”
“You’re an animal!” Aunty Li covered her red and swollen cheek and looked at her hateful husband with tears on her face.
Her son’s cries in the room gradually became louder. She quickly got up from the ground and stumbled into the room. She picked up the child who was still crying in the crib and fed him despite the pain.
However, the man did not plan to let her go so easily. He followed her into the room and waited for the woman to feed the child. Then, he pounced on her and strangled her neck. His eyes were red and protruded out. He said fiercely, “Do you agree? Eh? Speak!”
Aunty Li patted the man’s arm weakly. Her face was blue and purple, and her vision was getting more and more blurred. Her son was still lying by her hand, crying in fear.
