Chapter 30: Grandpa Jun’s Threat
But Mia was unusually calm, and as his hand tightened, she said in a calm and collected voice, “What more do I have to say when you’ve already decided it was mine that said it?”
“Damn you, how dare you retort!” Asher was even more furious, the grimness under his eyes burning with rage, appalling.
“That’s funny …,” Mia laughed despite the pain in her little face, a laugh that choked in her throat and sounded strangely poignant, “Asher, if you decide I did it, then I did it, and I have nothing to say.”
Mia’s face was smiling, but tears were slowly trickling down her cheeks. The tears dripped down Asher’s arm, and as if he was burned, he jerked loose of the large hand that was restraining her, a complicated look in his eyes.
The two men looked at each other coldly, and the atmosphere was silent.
The phone rang again and Asher looked to the ground with a grim look at the phone that kept vibrating. Finally, he slammed his fist into the wall and his icy gaze shot to Mia once again, “I’ll deal with you when I get back!”
With that, Asher left the bedroom with a frenzy.
Mia sat crumpled on the floor, listening to Asher’s departing footsteps, steady, not pausing for a moment as he walked out of the bedroom, across the hallway, through the living room … then the slight slamming of the door and he was gone …
Mia’s gaze froze, her petite body sliding slowly down the doorway to the floor, and a single tear dripped down her tiny chin, making a splash on the ground.
Someone leaked the pact between her and Asher …
The relationship between her and Asher was about to be exposed … Thinking of this, Mia sluggish gaze gradually lost focus, completely sinking into her world, and on her miserable white face, only a dead silence remained at the moment.
A knock suddenly came from outside the door panel, and Mia took a deep breath and reluctantly got up, turning the handle to open the door and seeing the butler standing respectfully outside with a telephone.
“Miss Luo, Master wants you to answer the phone.” The butler respectfully handed the phone to Mia.
Mia’s face turned paler, and with a faint doubt in her mind, she took the microphone with a trembling hand, and the butler walked down the stairs with a deep look at the pale woman.
Mia’s trembling fingers had just leaned the microphone to her ear when Grandpa Jun’s powerful voice came through the end of the microphone, “Leave Asher immediately or not only will the orphanage suffer, but even your previous contract will be made public by me, so Mia, be sensible, the Jun family is not a place you can enter. ”
As soon as the words left her mouth, the call was hung up on the other end before Mia could respond.
Mia was left standing there alone with a stiff face, crystal tears couldn’t help but spill out of her eyes, and her trembling fingers gradually lost their strength, even when the phone slipped out of her palm and landed on the floor with a loud clang, she didn’t even seem to be aware of it.
It’s over, it’s all over …
It was then that Mia let the flood of tears weep and allowed herself to cry out in pain, tears that seemed to never stop as she hugged herself and kept crying …
It was at this time that she realized that Asher had long since taken root in her heart, even though she had endured it very hard each time. Now it seemed that she could hardly escape even if she wanted to
Sadness, sorrow, and despair … didn’t even begin to describe how she felt. She knew that this time she was done for, she was leaving Asher for good …
Mia walks alone in the vast night, she doesn’t know where to go, or where the future lies. And where should she go now? There were many unanswered questions lingering in her mind as to how she had ended up in such a miserable situation.
Her wavering feet unknowingly walked to the entrance of the villa, the guard who had been standing guard at the gate saw Mia approaching the place and immediately stood up from his chair, respectfully bending a bow to her, “Miss Luo, the young master has orders not to let you go out privately.”
Mia’s eyes, red and swollen from crying, suddenly floated to a soft gaze, as if the trance-like disillusionment she had just felt was just an illusion of the crowd. She calmly took a finger-sized stamp out of her pocket and smiled slightly at the guard, unaware that her clenched palm had long since been soaked with tears.
“It’s Master Jun’s seal, he asked me to send it to him at the office, there’s a very urgent case that needs his seal right now.” Mia tried to sound perfectly natural and looked at the guard quietly.
Seeing the seal in her hand, the guard bluffed and hurriedly pressed the open button in his hand, and the gate slowly opened in front of her, “In that case, Miss Luo you take care on your way.”
Mia nodded softly at him, forcing herself to calm down and slowly walked out of the villa’s front door, moving quickly to stop a taxi, just getting into the cab her faked calm face instantly cracked, her eyes full of unease, “Go to the Night Bar.”
The driver nodded knowingly, and the car quickly turned into a plume of smoke and disappeared into the distance.
An unmarked seal lay among the grass beside the road, shimmering dimly in the dusk sun.
The neon lights, the deafening and powerful music, and the enchanting bodies constantly writhing on the dance floor, the heavy smell of smoke and alcohol constantly stimulating people’s nostrils, the noisy environment still makes people indulge in it and keep degenerating.
Mia sat on a swivel chair at the bar, a cold blue drink in her hand, her small face still full of despondency, and a large pile of empty bottles in front of her, long before her. She sat there, spirits being poured down her throat one after the other without any intention of stopping.
Seeing her drinking this way, the female bartender standing in the bar had a headache, and after glancing at her helplessly she jerked the glass back from her hand.
The bottle in her hand was jerked away and Mia, who was already dazed and confused, looked at the bartender in front of her with dazed eyes, her eyebrows immediately furrowed and her mouth was full of alcohol, “Xin Xin, give me back my wine, I want a drink!”
Wang Yuxin looked at the usually thunderous Mia, at this moment showing this daughterly shyness, and shook her head in good humor and amusement and said, “Mia , you’re drunk, it’s better not to drink.”
Mia, already half-drunk, reached out towards her regardless, stubbornly trying to snatch the glass back.
Wang Yuxin unceremoniously slapped her hand away, put the bottle of wine into the counter with one hand, and shoved a bottle of drink into her hand with the other, saying discontentedly, “I say Mia, after disappearing for three months, you still dare to come to my place for a drink?”
Mia was a regular customer at her bar, and both of them were very bright in nature, so the two of them became good friends within a few days of meeting each other.
The more Wang Yuxin thought about it, the more worried she became.
Just tonight, Mia actually appeared in front of her suddenly and with a depressed look on her face, desperately trying to pour herself a drink, so she knew with her toes that something must have happened to her. However, Mia didn’t even seem to want to interact with her and just kept on drinking.
Mia dazedly took the drink and drank it straight away without saying a word, Wang Yuxin looked at her disheveled appearance without good grace, “Hey, what the hell happened to you, looking like you’re dying makes me feel uncomfortable. Also, take a look in the mirror, the way you look now, it’s strange that you won’t attract all those perverts, I won’t care about you then!”
Mia was originally pure and beautiful, and from the moment she entered the door she became the prey of many men’s eyes, and Wang Yuxin had already seen several of them getting aroused.
Now Mia’s beautiful eyes were full of ecstasy, and her white cheeks were tinged with an ambiguous blush, which was even more appealing to people’s infinite imagination.
“Xin Xin, do you think men are all assholes who see the other side? Have you ever met an asshole?” Mia’s eyes remained misty, unable to find focus, and she hiccuped, unable to even speak properly.
Wang Yuxin, who was wiping the wine glass, helplessly rolled her eyes, and soon had a vague feeling that Mia, with this kind of look, should be out of love! Seeing Mia’s face in pain, she had to softly comfort her, “Mia , you’re right, men are all bastards. Well, you tell me now where you live, and I’ll send you back now.”
Mia shook her head, took a large sip of the drink in her hand, and pointed her finger at Wang Yuxin across the room, “I’m telling you ah Xin Xin, men are fucking no good, do you know that Jun …”
The words came to Mia who braked just in time, “No … I can’t tell you who he is or he’ll … he’ll … ”
With that, a line of tears couldn’t help but slip out of her eyes, “Xin Xin, he doubted me … he actually doubted me!”
Wang Yuxin hugged Mia and by the way, put her tilted body back on the chair to set it right so that she wouldn’t fall off the chair, “Mia, sit down for me right now! You tell me where you live and I’ll send you back, you hear me, I’m really not comfortable with you going back in this state.”
“Xin Xin, I… I don’t know where I live?” Mia hung her head in dismay and said grimly, “I, I don’t have a home anymore …”
Wang Yuxin froze in place and softly reassured Mia, “Mia , I’ll go backstage to take care of something else, you stay here obediently and don’t move around.”
Not hearing what Wang Yuxin was saying at all, Mia nodded her head haphazardly and said, “I’m fine, you go busy, I, I have to drink …”
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Yu Xin turned around and left.
Shortly after she left, three stylishly dressed beauties walked in through the doorway, walking familiarly and directly to the second floor, and just as they were at the stairway to the second floor, the beauty walking in front of them suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the direction of the bar.
