Instantly, she felt a chill run straight into her bones, so cold that her entire body froze.
When Zuo Hancheng saw the things on the table, he quickly walked in and pulled Anhao, who was so stiff that she could not move, into his arms. He pressed her head against his chest and patted her back gently to comfort her. He said softly,””Stop looking.”
Inside those transparent wine bottles were snakes that had been caught from somewhere. Although the snakes were already dead, they were still soaked in the wine bottles.
It was popular among the older generation to soak snakes in wine. The longer the wine was soaked, the more nourishing it would be. It was also extremely valuable. However, this kind of snake wine was a very scary thing. Putting a living snake into a bottle filled with white wine and soaking it like this was extremely terrifying in terms of visual effects.
There were more than ten bottles of this wine on the table. Inside were snakes that could be covered. At a glance, those who were timid would be scared out of their wits.
Anhao was quite brave, but snakes were not something she could ignore just because she said so. She saw so many dead snakes on the table beside her bed, and even her mother’s photo was pressed under those wine bottles!
Gu Tianming walked in quickly and was shocked when he saw the wine bottles. However, he endured the disgust and horror of the dozens of dead snakes soaking in the wine in front of him.
Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was comforting Anhao in his arms, he quickly walked over and whispered, The servants at home must have been making wine. Anhao often doesn’t come back to stay, so they’re afraid that this kind of thing will scare others, so they kept it in her room for the time being. They didn’t mean to scare her…”
“Was it unintentional for the servant to hide Anhao’s mother’s photo under those things?”There was no warmth in Zuo Hancheng’s voice.
Gu Mingtian’s expression froze, and he quickly explained, ‘”‘This matter…………….. …………………….. ..” Mr. Zuo, those are just dead snakes. They won’t do anything to Anhao…”
“Enough!” Anhao suddenly raised her head from Zuo Hancheng’s arms and glared at Gu Tianming with slightly bloodshot eyes.””Bring me my mother’s photo!”
Gu Tianming frowned. He was about to give her a warning glare, but when he caught Zuo Hancheng’s gaze in the next moment, he turned his head away. He had no choice but to walk to the bedside and move the scary and disgusting wine bottles away. He picked up An Ping’s photo.
However, the moment he picked it up, Gu Tianming’s expression froze again.
He held the photo and did not turn around.
Anhao sensed that something was wrong with him and exchanged glances with Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng held her hand and walked over. At first glance, he saw the photo that Gu Tianming was holding in his hand. There was a yellow and red talisman on the photo.
Anhao immediately went forward and snatched the photo. She picked up the talisman on the photo and flipped it over to see the words “Underground Evil Spirits Will Never Reincarnate” written on the back.
Her hands couldn’t help but tremble. She held the talisman tightly in her palm and turned to look at Gu Tianming at the same time.”Your good daughter is not even letting a person who has been dead for many years off!”
“Anhao, I can explain this. Shishi might not have done it. Calm down, let’s go downstairs and talk.”Gu Tianming’s expression was hidden in the darkness. He turned around and was about to leave.
Anhao suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the bed to lift the blanket. As expected, her bed had been tampered with.
When she lifted the blanket, the eight treasures porridge that had been spilled on the bed had already rotted and dried up. Because it was winter, the room was very cold, so there were no worms. However, the traces of vomit all over the bed still made her clench her fists.
She sneered at the same time, threw the blanket aside, turned around, walked to the cabinet, and opened it.
There were only a few pieces of clothing in her closet. There was only an old school uniform and a few pieces of clothes that she had worn when she was still in junior high school a few years ago. They were much smaller now.
There was nothing in the cabinet, but her eyes suddenly fell on the desk next to her.
Several books on the table had been torn apart, including the An Tong story and the One Thousand and One Nights story book that An Ping used to hug her and tell her when she was young. Those two books had been carefully wrapped up and placed in the drawer because they were too old, but now they had been torn into pieces. A piece was scattered in the drawer, and half of them were placed in the dustbin under the table.
There were also all kinds of textbooks left behind by her mother, including the thick book she had occasionally seen the Ice Blue Dried Flower. They were all placed under the table, soaked in water, and the pages were glued together.
This bedroom that belonged to her in the Gu family had become more and more messy in the half a year that she had not been back. Gu Shishi’s methods had even gone overboard.
Anhao stood by the table in a daze and looked at the mess without saying a word. Zuo Hancheng’s cold gaze turned to Gu Tianming, who had an awkward expression on his face. Mayor Gu, let’s talk outside.”
Gu Tianming suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he looked at Anhao.”She…”
“She’s been able to persevere in the Gu family for so many years. I believe that she’ll be able to handle her emotions well. ”Mayor Gu, let’s settle this score alone,” said Zuo Hancheng coldly.”
” Mr. Zuo, Anhao has been safe and sound in the Gu family for so many years. What you saw just now was just a coincidence. Maybe Shishi just borrowed her room. There’s absolutely nothing else. I can explain what happened yesterday.
Mr. Zuo, there’s really nothing between us…”
However, before Gu Tianming could finish speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already walked out expressionlessly, not giving him a chance to explain or make peace.
Gu Tianming instantly froze on the spot. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly turning to look at Anhao’s motionless back. He cursed fiercely, “Gu Anhao, you’re ruthless! Just because you have Zuo Hancheng as your backer, you actually dare to directly point the spearhead at the Gu family…”
“If you don’t want to die so early, get out!”Anhao didn’t even turn her head. Her voice sounded calm yet frosty.
Gu Tianming pointed at her and wanted to scold her a few more times, but he could not do anything to her because of Zuo Hancheng’s existence. He gritted his teeth and suddenly walked out the door.
Gu Tianming left, but Anhao was still standing in front of the table, looking at the last things she had left in the Gu family. These were all memories of An Ping, everything she had when she was young.
All these years, no matter how much Gu Shishi had gone overboard, she had never gone so far as to do such a thing. This room was not the bedroom that Anhao had lived in for five years, but a living hell that belonged to her.
He could finally leave this place completely.
However, she was unable to keep all of her mother’s belongings..
