Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling

Chapter 215 - 216: She’s Here

Despite the opulent decor and what had always been excellent soundproofing, a soft rustling sound now drifted out.

It sounded just like someone sitting up in bed.

The security guards shivered in unison as a strange, eerie chill seeped into their bones.

This time, without waiting for the man to say another word, the guards bolted and ran for the exit.

CREAK... CREAK...

The sound of someone getting out of bed, putting on shoes, and then footsteps in the hallway...

The sounds carried down from upstairs with chilling clarity. The man’s lips turned white with terror, and the woman was just as frightened.

She was like a startled cat, every hair on her body standing on end. At this point, the slightest sound was enough to make her faint from fright.

The footsteps left the hallway and started down the stairs, growing closer and closer. The manor’s servants were already long gone.

Now, in the enormous house, it seemed only the four of them remained.

Su Nian lifted her chin slightly, savoring their fear.

"Master Qingran, let’s go. We shouldn’t interrupt their family reunion."

The man and woman had lost the pretentious airs they’d put on earlier. Now, they were trembling uncontrollably, their lips quivering nonstop.

Master Qingran turned to leave, following right behind Su Nian without a moment’s hesitation.

TAP... TAP... TAP...

Closer and closer, louder and louder...

In the absurdly large house, the footsteps even began to echo.

’He was scared...’

"Don’t! Don’t go!"

"I’ll pay you! I’ll pay you lots and lots of money!"

"Save me! Please, don’t go! I know I was wrong! I’ll do anything, just save me!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the lights in the room suddenly went out, leaving only the light from upstairs spilling down.

At the same time, the footsteps stopped. A dark silhouette seemed to have entered the first floor.

The pair shivered violently. Their pleas had received no response.

Now, it seemed they were truly the only two living people left in the room.

"You bastard! You just had to kill our daughter for your own selfish desires! Are you happy now?!"

Under such intense fear, the woman was the first to break.

She began to sob, her quiet cries interspersed with accusations against the man.

"What’s the use of saying this now? Weren’t you supporting me back then? You thought our girl never listened to you, that she wouldn’t take care of us when she grew up and became successful!"

"Everything I did—did you not know about it? Did you not support it? When it comes down to it, this is all your fault for egging me on!"

The man was terrified, but he still roared back.

In the midst of such fear and panic, arguing seemed to become a good way for them to vent.

"It was clearly your idea! You wanted to live longer, that’s why you killed our daughter with your own hands! My poor daughter... murdered by her own father!"

"You bitch, what are you pretending for? When I did it, weren’t you standing right there watching? You were afraid I couldn’t hold her down, so you came over and helped me!"

Su Nian felt increasingly sick to her stomach. ’How utterly hopeless that girl must have felt.’

Her destiny was a powerful one; if she had wanted to escape, she would have had a sliver of a chance. But the ones who killed her with their own hands were her own parents.

With her heart dead, she no longer resisted or struggled.

The man was still railing in impotent rage when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

’Why has that bitch gone silent?’

"Wi... Wife? Wife! Wife!"

There was no response. He didn’t even know when she had disappeared...

And just then, Su Nian saw her—the breathtakingly beautiful young girl.

She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, dressed in a school uniform. Her youthful face still had a touch of baby fat, but her complexion was deathly pale and her eyes were bloodshot.

Her hair was plastered to her forehead, but the most striking feature was the deep, crimson mark on her neck.

Whoever had strangled her had used immense force; it even looked as if the bones in her neck had been broken.

Now, her hand was wrapped around the woman’s neck. They were nose to nose, eye to eye.

A pair of blood-red eyes, now hollow and lifeless, stared straight at... her mother.
