Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

316 The Xu Family’s Secret

Su Cunyi’s eyes widened, “mine? This house?”

However, before he knew what’s going on, Pei Huai got into the car and drove away.

Su Cunyi was confused. He was about to leave when he felt a wind behind him.

Perhaps he had developed some kind of survival instinct after being hit by the fork last time. This time, after feeling the wind behind him, he turned his head back very quickly with great agility.

!!

A plow flew towards him!

Su Cunyi quickly dodged and said, “Xu Mingzhi! What are you doing!”

The plow was stabbed into the big tree opposite him.

There were two flames in Xu Mingzhi’s eyes, as if some kind of valve had been opened, and all the chakra in her body was released. “Su Cunyi, so you’re the one living next door? That book is also yours? Did Ning Lihua buy it for you? Or you bought it for her? Why did you move next to us??”

“I…” Su Cunyi felt guilty. “I’m moving out today!”

With that, he picked up his suitcase and rushed into the car.

By the time Xu Mingzhi reacted, Su Cunyi’s car had also driven away.

Xu Mingzhi stood in the courtyard, her chest heaving.

Pei Huai was driving in front of Su Cunyi.

So whose house was it?

She seemed to have heard Pei Huai say that the house belonged to Su Cunyi…

However, Xu Mingzhi suddenly remembered that she’d seen Pei Xingxing around!

He was the one who was walking the cat in front of her house!

At this moment, the door behind him opened. Uncle He was about to come out and clean up the yard.

“Hello.”

He met Xu Mingzhi’s eagle eyes.

“Goodbye, madam!”

“Bang!”

Uncle He closed the door again.

Xu Mingzhi narrowed her eyes. She’d know who the house belonged to when someone came back!

When Su Ji entered the house, Lu Ailian kept reminding Xu Ni not to take her to the backyard. Then, Xu Ni obediently took Su Ji to her room. When the relatives who came to visit started chatting again, Su Ji went through the back door and to the backyard…

“The patient is there?” Su Ji asked.

“Yes…” Xu Ni pursed her lips.

Su Ji followed her. In the seemingly desolate and old backyard, there was indeed a small two-story building.

The Xu family’s villa was luxurious and magnificent, but the one at the back looked far inferior.

The front yard was bustling with noise and excitement, while the backyard was quiet and even a little cold.

Su Ji walked on the bluestone path with her hands in her pocket as she followed Xu Ni to the front of the two-story building.

The wall was mottled, and there was a damp smell.

Xu Ni brought her into the house.

It was clean and tidy inside.

“Son, are you here to see me?” A woman’s gentle voice came down from upstairs, followed by the sound of high heels.

Soon, the woman’s thin figure appeared.

The woman’s hair was tied up in a bun, her makeup was exquisite, and her clothes were expensive. She looked no different from the visitors in the villa, but her face was abnormally pale. She looked like she had not left the house for a year.

Xu Ni closed the door and introduced Su Ji.

The woman was her mother.

Qin Bingjie was very beautiful, and Xu Ni looked just like her.

However, when Qin Bingjie saw Su Ji, her expression clearly froze for a moment.

Su Ji observed her.

Xu Ni replied, “this is my best friend from the crew. Her name is Su Ji. I brought her to visit you.”

“I see…” Qin Bingjie only glanced at Su Ji and then looked away. She brought the fruits that had been on the coffee table for a few days, “sit, have some fruits.”

There were several kinds of fruits on the plate. The bananas were already black and the pears were wrinkled. Xu Ni pointed at the oranges, “I just bought these yesterday. You can eat this.”

“Sure, thank you,” Su Ji took an orange and observed Qin Bingjie’s expression as she peeled it.

Judging from her complexion, other than a little malnutrition and lack of sunlight, she didn’t look like she was sick.

However, there must be a reason why she was locked up in the backyard.

Qin Bingjie pulled Xu Ni to sit next to her and glanced at Su Ji. She lowered her voice and said, “son, you’re a man and she’s a woman. You should be careful. Otherwise, there will be a scandal if the paparazzi saw you…”

Halfway through her sentence, she seemed to have noticed that Su Ji was looking at her and subconsciously retreated. “Well, it’s not good for Su Ji too.”

Xu Ni frowned. She obviously didn’t like what she said, but for some reason, he didn’t say anything. Instead, she got straight down to business. “Mom, Su Ji’s medical skills are very good. Everyone in the crew knows that. I asked her to have a look…”

“Why? I’m not sick!” Qin Bingjie suddenly raised her voice.

Su Ji had a rough understanding now.

...

Xu Ni held her shoulders and stopped her from moving. “Mom, be good. Let her check if you’re sick or not.”

Qin Bingjie gradually became agitated. As she struggled, she seemed to have remembered something and grabbed Xu Ni’s arm. Has she taken your pulse? Don’t let her do it!”

Xu Ni knew what she was worried about. “Mom, don’t worry about me. You…”

“No! You have to promise me! Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. She will know just by taking your pulse…”

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and quickly looked at Su Ji, as if she was afraid that she had revealed something.

Xu Ni couldn’t bear to see her like this, so she laid her cards on the table. “She already knows. She knows that I’m a woman!”

Before she could finish, there was a sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Qin Bingjie immediately pushed her to the ground and covered her mouth, her hands and voice trembling.

“What did you just say?”

“What are you talking about, son?!” The voice was loud and sharp.

Su Ji stood up, and at the same time, Qin Bingjie took out a fruit knife. “Don’t come near me!”

...

She became hysterical after Xu Ni said that. “Did you hear what my son said?”

As she spoke, she raised the fruit knife and was about to attack Su Ji. Xu Ni was faster and stood up to hold her back. However, Qin Bingjie was like a mad woman. She waved the knife around and cut Xu Ni’s face, causing blood to ooze out.

Su Ji frowned.

Qin Bingjie was stunned for a moment. Su Ji seized the opportunity to snatch the knife from her hand and kicked it aside.

Qin Bingjie wanted to grab the knife, but Su Ji kicked the knife away and held her down. Qin Bingjie became even crazier when she could not break free, and she bit Su Ji’s wrist.

Su Ji’s eyebrows twitched as she called out to Xu Ni, “open the door!”

Xu Ni didn’t care about the injury on her face and quickly went to open the door.

The afternoon sun instantly shone in, and even some of the noise from the front yard could be heard.

Qin Bingjie’s body instantly stiffened. The next second, she loosened her mouth and fell into Su Ji’s arms, trembling. On Su Ji’s thin and fair wrist, there were bloody teeth marks. Xu Ni’s face turned pale when she saw that.
