Chapter 48: Calamity Arrives (1)

  Huǒ Líng'er only felt a loud thunder in her mind, she couldn't imagine that something would happen at home no matter what. Although she didn't have much dependence on that home, she always thought that the old man at home was omnipotent and thought that the family's savings would only continue to rise.

  Kitty?

  The masked man let Huo Ling'er lean against his chest.

  Huǒ Líng's eyes refocused after a brief moment of distraction, and she suddenly sprang to her feet. Without even bothering to tidy up her hair or clothes, she rushed out quickly.

  The masked man on the ground let out a sigh and opened his palm to lightly pat twice "Pack up the meal."

  "Pack up? We're not short of money."

  The innocent servant who appeared out of nowhere scratched his head.

  "Do I need to repeat myself? Are you done already?" The masked man's voice dropped by ten degrees, his mood very unpleasant.

  The servant was startled and didn't dare to say anything back. "No, I'll take care of it right away." After finishing speaking, he took out several lunch boxes from who-knows-where and packed everything up, then carefully put them into bags one by one with swift and nimble movements.

  "Go."

  The masked man disappeared in a few seconds at Huo Ling'er's separate courtyard.

  I wiped away cold sweat and followed him, disappearing in a few steps.

  Another courtyard

  "I feel like I've seen a ghost."

  "What?"

  "The princess herself cooks and a full table of dishes is eaten by one man. Do you believe that a person's stomach can be so big?"

  "Maybe you really did see a ghost."

  Chóng xià de shì, huǒ líng ér shēn zhe yī jiǎ hóng qún bēi pǎo zhe xiàng shì yī tuán míng yàn de huǒ, tā cǐ kè jìn rán zú gòu dàn dìng, huàn zuò shì bié rén dé zhī zì jǐ páng dà jiā zú miàn lín pò chǎn zuò de bù néng bǐ tā gèng duō de chū sè.

  At this moment, the roses in the courtyard are still as beautiful as they were when she left. The courtyard and villa are still majestic and solemn. Seeing the beautiful scenery, Huo Ling'er really couldn't accept the fact that her father told her on the phone. She ran to the gate of the villa.

  "Miss~"

  The white-haired butler hung his head and called out to Huo Ling'er.

  Huǒ Líng'er saw a familiar face, and it was as if she had found a stable exit in her heart. Her flustered emotions changed, and she calmly said, "Housekeeper, where are my father and mother?"

  "Miss~~~~ Old Master and Madam~~~~ They~~~~"

  "What's wrong with them?"

  "They owe the company too much money and can only escape from Country Z first before making further plans."

  "Are they gone?" Huo Ling'er's eyes turned dark, fortunately she was able to lean against the wall behind her and didn't fall to the ground.

  "Miss, you should take good care of yourself too." The usually spirited butler looked suddenly worn out.

  Huǒ Líng'er let out a few bitter laughs, Ah, yes, as a child abandoned by her parents, what else could she do but take care of herself? Huǒ Líng'er's remaining strength was drained away by the news.

  "Miss, Master is also helpless, time is too pressing." The butler wanted to explain something.

  "Housekeeper, did you know? I even called him yesterday."

  "The......" The housekeeper sighed several times again.

  Just at this time ————

  "Tap... tap... tap..." The sound of high heels echoed in the rotating staircase of the villa.

  Huǒ Líng'er hopes to ignite, is her mother still in the villa? Hasn't she left yet? Huǒ Líng'er plucked up the courage to explore inside.

  "Miss, you go, hurry up." The old butler suddenly changed his sorrowful expression, his hands firmly pushing Huo Ling'er out, as if he didn't want her to see the master of the villa at all.

  Huolinger couldn't figure it out and wanted to see who was walking towards the villa even more. Was the housekeeper's behavior too abnormal?

  "Housekeeper, where can we invite our guests today?"

  Her bright cheongsam, exquisite makeup, and a mischievous smile playing on her lips, while the sound came from the crystal-studded shoes on her feet.

  "How could it be you?"

  Huǒ Líng'er was stunned and spaced out for a long time, unable to snap back to reality.
