In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Chapter 53 The Money Jar Gradually Getting Out of Control

The group arrived at their destination in this small town, the Yuelai Inn.

Among the group at the inn, Zhong Shi spoke with the Xie family guards:

"We'll be staying here for the next couple of days. In the morning, you should prepare the items you'll need for the journey."

"Yes."

After arranging everything, he took the room number of the superior guest room and walked over to the young master who was resting at a table.

"Young Master, everything is arranged. Let's go."

"Alright, Brother Gu, I'll head back now."

Gu Chaomu, who was sitting at the same table as Zhou Xinyue, nodded.

Watching Xie Ze disappear from their sight,

Chunxia, ​​who was late in checking in, finally handed the room number to Gu Chaomu.

He smiled and said:

"Young Master Gu, this is your room number. Please enjoy your meal."

"... "

Following Miss's previous instructions, Chunxia arranged an ordinary guest room for Gu Chaomu.

The young lady stayed in the superior guest room.

So when Chunxia returned, she directly gave Gu Chaomu the room number of the regular guest room.

Gu Chaomu saw that it was an ordinary wooden board.

The room number wasn't as nicely engraved as the one in the previous premium guesthouse.

There's no need to guess; you can tell at a glance that it's a standard guest room.

This made him slightly stunned.

He glanced at the table next to him, where Qiao Wanwan was completely ignoring him.

Knowing she was angry, his lodgings became extremely meager.

Sure enough, when money is in someone else's hands, it's easy to manipulate them.

If in the future, I could obtain all of Qiao Wanwan's money.

He will definitely make Qiao Wanwan taste all the humiliations he suffered at her hands.

Now, all he can do is silently endure it.

Gu Chaomu's face was clouded with anger, but he did not voice his dissatisfaction.

He took the room number from Chunxia.

After completing her mission, Chunxia returned to her young mistress's side.

He didn't even notice that Young Master Gu's face was turning pale.

This made Gu Chaomu even more dissatisfied.

Now even a maidservant has rebelled against him?

He was cursing inwardly.

Like master, like servant.

Suddenly, a small hand appeared before the man, carrying a cup of fragrant tea.

He looked in the direction of the hand and saw Zhou Xinyue, her eyes crinkling with a gentle and considerate smile, asking:

"Brother Gu, where are you staying tonight?"

"I'll just stay somewhere casually..."

Zhou Xinyue glanced at the wooden room number plaque in his hand and said with slight surprise:

"Oh! What a coincidence, Brother Gu, you live here too? I live next door to you."

Gu Chaomu's eyes lit up when she heard that she was also staying in a regular room.

Weiwei said in slight surprise:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and gestured to the maid beside her.

He then took out a room number card that was similar to his own.

"It's perfectly normal for a grown man like me to stay in a regular guest room. But how come a rich young lady like you is staying here too?"

"Isn't it true that we should keep a low profile when we go out? Xin Yue believes that now that she's out in the game, she should be fearless like Brother Gu. It doesn't matter which place she stays at, she can save some money for unforeseen circumstances."

"Ah."

Gu Chaomu nodded in satisfaction.

“Xin Yue is right. As a young lady from a wealthy family, you are quite enlightened. Compared to that woman Qiao Wanwan, you are really quite remarkable.”

"... "

Zhou Xinyue smiled gently, but inwardly she couldn't understand.

Why does Gu Chaomu always compare her to that woman, no matter what she did?

Why?

She did nothing, does she deserve it?

I felt a surge of displeasure.

Suddenly, I felt that it wasn't worth secretly buying an extra regular room to keep Gu Chaomu company.

As expected, she still disliked Qiao Wanwan.

Even while looking at her, she didn't try to steal Gu Chaomu's affection.

She still hates it.

That woman had captured Gu Chaomu's entire attention.

...

Qiao Wanwan, who was at the next table, overheard the entire conversation between the male and female protagonists.

Zhou Xinyue was willing to sleep in a regular guest room with the male lead for his sake?

She was secretly applauding.

Wow!

What a spirit of dedication!

In reality, it was just her self-pity.

That's so stupid. If you have money, why not live in a nicer place?

She insisted on suffering and toil alongside the poor boy.

Is it worth it?

She silently mocked him in her heart.

Suddenly feeling resentful towards Zhou Xinyue, she felt a chill emanating from the next table.

It gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Chunxia, ​​who was beside her, did not notice her mistress's discomfort and reminded her:

"Miss, everything is arranged. Let's go back to our rooms and rest."

"Well, let's go."

Run away quickly!

She doesn't want to be a third party in the main couple's relationship.

...

In the blink of an eye, the half-moon had already climbed into the dark sky.

Spring and summer were making up the bed for her.

As a pampered young lady, Qiao Wanwan was never allowed to do anything.

Spring and summer naturally bring order to everything.

She has too much free time.

She sat comfortably in front of the dressing table, having already removed several of her outer garments.

She was wearing only a white undergarment, preparing to go to sleep.

She stared at herself in the bronze mirror and slowly removed the silver hairpin that she had worn all the way.

They couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.

She covered her red lips and yawned.

"Ha~"

Upon hearing the young lady's voice, Chunxia smiled and asked:

"Miss, are you sleepy now?"

"Well, a little bit."

"Spring and summer will finish making the bed soon, please wait a little longer, Miss."

"it is good."

Qiao Wanwan wasn't in a hurry. She smiled at her, inwardly sighing:

This kind of lazy life is really comfortable.

If she were in the Alliance Leader's Mansion, with a doting father protecting her, that would be even better.

Hey!

When can we go back?

Qiao Wanwan propped her chin up and looked out the window.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew past on the rooftop in the distance outside the window.

With a "whoosh," it disappeared into the moonlight.

Qiao Wanwan was also stunned for a moment, then blinked.

Where are those dark figures in the distance?

She could only console herself silently.

It must be because he was angered by Gu Chaomu this morning.

Are you seeing things?

"Miss, Chunxia has already made the bed. Please lie down first. Chunxia will go out and get some tea in case you need it tonight."

"Okay, it's getting late. Be careful and come back quickly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Spring and summer were being cared for by their young mistress, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

He opened the door with the kettle in his hand.

There was a "crunch".

Then she gently closed the door.

Qiao Wanwan had just lain down on the soft, spacious bed in the superior room, burying her head in the blankets, feeling incredibly comfortable.

At that moment, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.

There was a "bang" sound,

The sound of something falling to the ground came from outside the door.

"?"

what sound?

Qiao Wanwan, whose head was covered, suddenly sat up and looked out the door.

But then they saw a distinct black figure reflected on the door.

It seemed as if he bent down and picked up something.

A swishing sound came from the floor.

Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself:

"Is it spring and summer that have returned?"

"But why is this figure so burly?"

Qiao Wanwan paused for a moment, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She clutched her blanket tightly, faintly hearing the sound of the door next door opening.

Isn't the room next door unoccupied?

wrong,

Qiao Wanwan heard Chunxia say this morning,

It seems that Zhou Xinyue's maid also bought the room next door.

However, she said she wanted to stay in a regular room, so the room was left vacant.

It probably wasn't her who came.

It's also possible that spring or summer passed by the door?

"... "

Let's go out and take a look.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and casually threw on her coat.

With a hint of doubt, I opened the door and looked around.

There wasn't a single person in sight.

Spring and summer aren't here either.

Who was that person who just passed by?

"嚓～"

"嚓～"

Qiao Wanwan's five senses were amplified in the darkness.

I heard strange noises coming from the next room.

Horror movies suddenly popped into my head.

She broke out in a cold sweat, but quickly dismissed the idea.

how can that be possible?

This is a martial arts world, not a supernatural tale...

It shouldn't be a problem to take a look, right?

Driven by curiosity, Qiao Wanwan cautiously stepped out of the room.

The long, narrow corridor at the entrance was only lit by a few yellow lanterns.

The rest of the place was pitch black.

"crunch"

"crunch"

The woman's embroidered shoes made a soft sound as she stepped on the floor.

As I passed the next room, I suddenly noticed that the door was half open.

There was still a faint sound coming from inside, and the dark, ominous figure...

Qiao Wanwan's breathing trembled slightly, and she felt inexplicably afraid.

But I was also very curious and wondered:

Is it because Miss Zhou is not used to staying in a regular guest room?

So you came back?

But why not turn on the lights?

Filled with doubt, she boldly and slowly approached the half-open door.

The woman walked to the door and peeked inside furtively.

A pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes saw the person inside and her eyes slightly opened.

She did see Zhou Xinyue.

But what she saw was Zhou Xinyue being dragged into the darkness by a man who was grabbing her wrist.

"!!!"
