TLCBITAR Chapter 131

Chapter 131: A Man’s Mouth, a Liar’s Ghost

Night fell, and Zhou Zhou’s group of five were taken by a black car to a luxurious three-story villa.

“There are many rooms inside, choose whichever you like. If you need anything, please call the administrator’s number.” The driver left those words and left.

Su Wanxing had been dazed all day. Looking up at the luxurious villa, her heart felt as if it was being clenched. She walked to Zhou Zhou’s side and pleaded in a low voice, “Zhou Zhou, can I sleep next to you tonight?”

Zhou Zhou was dumbfounded and “huh?”

“I misspoke, I meant in the room next to yours. I’m afraid dirty things will harass me in the middle of the night, is that okay?”

Zhou Zhou was speechless, “I’m not a ghostbuster.”

Su Wanxing was a little excited and grabbed his hand, “Aren’t you good at fortune-telling? You must know a little bit about it, right?”

Zhou Zhou suggested, “How about you sleep in the same room as Mu Xinyao?”

Su Wanxing looked at Mu Xinyao, who refused without even thinking, “Don’t even think about it.”

“How about I sleep next to you?” Liu Qian came over, smiling lewdly.

Su Wanxing curled her lips and muttered softly, “You’re more terrifying than a ghost.”

Liu Qian heard it, and his expression twisted for a moment.

“Don’t just stand here like idiots, let’s go in.” Zhou Zhou pulled his suitcase and took the lead.

Su Wanxing followed closely behind, her legs a little weak.

The first floor of the villa was lit with dazzling lights. The group of five raised their hands to shield their eyes, stepped into the elevator, and went straight to the second floor.

“Zhou Zhou, why don’t you stay next to me?” Mu Xinyao leaned close to Zhou Zhou, blinking her almond eyes.

Zhou Zhou said in a flat tone, “Am I some kind of hot commodity?”

“I’m afraid of being attacked in the middle of the night.” She glanced at Liu Qian, hinting at something.

Liu Qian understood and was immediately filled with anger, “What do you mean?! Am I that kind of lecherous person?”

Mu Xinyao nodded, “Yeah, you look a lot like one.”

Zhou Zhou ignored them, feeling depressed, and just wanted to wash up and sleep.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he pulled his suitcase and left, randomly choosing a room, and said in a flat tone, “Don’t anyone bother me while I’m sleeping.”

With that, he waved goodbye to the four of them and closed the door without waiting for a reply.

“I’m staying here!”

“I’m sleeping in this room!”

Two female voices sounded at the same time. Mu Xinyao and Su Wanxing exchanged glances, grabbed their suitcases, and rushed inside.

“Can’t you change to another room?” Mu Xinyao stood in the doorway, raising her small face in anger.

Su Wanxing was in a bad mood and was uncharacteristically no longer gentle. She said coldly, “Why shouldn’t you be the one to change?”

Mu Xinyao crossed her arms, her eyes showing disdain, “What do you mean? Don’t think that just because you’re Zhou Zhou’s sister, I’ll let you have your way!”

Su Wanxing was a bit taller than her, and her aura was no weaker than Mu Xinyao’s, “Who said I’m his sister, stop making things up! Move aside, can’t any of the other rooms catch your eye? What are you plotting?”

The two of them argued back and forth until they were about to fight, before Zhou Zhou opened the door and said helplessly, “Can you guys go downstairs to fight? Don’t disturb my sleep.”

Mu Xinyao glared and questioned, “Zhou Zhou, you lied to me?!”

Zhou Zhou rubbed his forehead in annoyance, “Miss, what did I lie to you about?”

“You said this white lotus flower is your half-sister!”

“Did I? When did I ever say those words?”

“Damn it! A man’s mouth, a liar’s ghost! I hate you!” Mu Xinyao’s eyes turned red with anger, and she dragged her suitcase towards the room in the furthest corner.

Zhou Zhou: …

Su Wanxing frowned and tentatively asked, “Why did you lie to her?”

Zhou Zhou didn’t want to explain, feeling like his head was about to explode.

“Let’s sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow.” He said sullenly, preparing to close the door.

Su Wanxing reached out and held the door, asking seriously, “Have you ever lied to me?”

Zhou Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. Meeting Su Wanxing’s clear eyes, a sense of guilt and remorse arose within him.

Her originally fair and delicate face was now covered with heavy dark circles under her eyes. The nightmares of recent days must have taken a toll on her.

As for why she would dream of those melodramatic plots, Zhou Zhou wasn’t sure either. He pursed his lips, and complex emotions arose in his eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he said apologetically, “Come in, I’ll tell you the truth.”

Su Wanxing was silent for a moment, then walked into his room.

The door closed, and the corridor returned to silence.

However, Pei Yanlie was not calm.

He stared intently at the surveillance footage on his phone screen, his eyes filled with terrifying anger, his suppressed voice filled with strong jealousy, “Zhou Zhou, you really have some nerve!”

This villa was his private property. Before Zhou Zhou and the others moved in, he had already arranged for people to install 360-degree surveillance cameras in all the public areas. Now, the surveillance cameras had captured Zhou Zhou and that girl entering the same room, how could he stand it? He immediately overturned the jealousy jar.

Zhou Zhou didn’t know that Pei Yanlie was already on the verge of madness and was rushing towards the villa.

The room was large, but not suitable for talking. He walked to the balcony and sat opposite Su Wanxing.

Seeing the uneasy expression on Su Wanxing’s face, he took a deep breath and said sincerely, “I’m sorry.”

Su Wanxing gripped her skirt tightly with one hand and said in a trembling voice, “You really did lie to me?”

“About you truly liking men, it’s half true and half false. Some of it was my fabrication. I originally thought I could successfully bring you two together, but I was too conceited.” Zhou Zhou looked directly into Su Wanxing’s red eyes and continued, “I didn’t expect things to develop to this point, Pei Yanlie he… he has fallen in love with someone else.”

He lowered his voice a lot at the end, feeling a bit guilty.

Su Wanxing bit her lower lip, asking with a crying voice, “If he has fallen in love with someone else, why is he still tormenting me in my dreams?”

Zhou Zhou looked embarrassed, “How about, I take you to see a master another day?”

“If you had told me the truth before I had those nightmares, I probably would have hated you. Now, I only hate that man! I didn’t even touch his lover, why did he lock me up! His personality is so cruel and vicious!” Su Wanxing couldn’t help but shed tears, crying and cursing.

Zhou Zhou quickly gave her a tissue and comforted her softly, “You have to believe that dreams are the opposite of reality, he wouldn’t lock you up for no reason.”

Su Wanxing suddenly asked, “Then do you know who he fell in love with?”

The expression on Zhou Zhou’s face instantly stiffened, hesitant and unable to speak.

What should I do, if Little Star knows that person is me, what will she do?

Su Wanxing clenched her small fist, wearing a haggard face, and said firmly, “Tell me, who is it? I will definitely stay away from her! If I accidentally offend her, that man will definitely not let me go!”

Zhou Zhou: …

It seems that Little Star’s thought process is a bit different from others, or perhaps, she is really scared.

With a loud “bang,” the door was kicked open, scaring both of them.

“What’s going on!” Su Wanxing was at a loss, instantly darting behind Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou had no idea what was happening. He stared blankly as Pei Yanlie walked towards him with a murderous look, his small heart beating wildly.

The rapidly rising adrenaline made him tremble all over, feeling a chill rising from his tailbone, spreading throughout his body.

Pei Yanlie’s icy gaze fell on Su Wanxing, and Su Wanxing’s whole body stiffened, almost screaming out. Her legs trembled, and she tightly pinched Zhou Zhou’s arm with both hands, her sharp nails digging into his skin.

Zhou Zhou groaned, unable to care about pulling her hand away, “What do you mean by barging in here? Are you trying to catch us in the act?”

Pei Yanlie stared intently at Su Wanxing and said coldly, “Get out!”

Su Wanxing obeyed in a second, running away as fast as she could, afraid that if she was a step slower, the iron chain in that man’s hand would be put on her.

Zhou Zhou: …

[Crap! What’s wrong with Pei Yanlie!]
