Why does this aunt come back again and again, and doesn't play her cards according to the routine?
"I.."
"Madam! I'm not talking about you! As a servant, I'm not qualified to talk about you, but I still have to say a few words. Your husband built your body bit by bit. Now that your husband is gone, you just ruin it like this. If he knows about your weak body, how sad would he be?"
"Aunt, don't be angry, I..."
Aunt didn't listen to her, "Fortunately, there are still some in the kitchen, I'll bring them all to you now!"
"Aunt, I'm fine..." Vianna wanted to say that she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her, but Aunt walked straight out and didn't listen to her, and brought her the remaining medicine in the kitchen. Come here and place it in front of her.
"Madam, drink it while it's still hot." Aunt stood in front of her, her posture intent on watching her finish the drink.
Vianna looked at the dark bowl of soup in front of her, which was more than twice the size of the bowl she had thrown away before. The residue was floating happily on it, and she felt the bitter taste spread to the base of her tongue, and her stomach immediately turned.
"Aunt, my menstrual period has been adjusted and I'm fine."
Aunt was indifferent and even thought that Vianna was making excuses.
Just a month or two ago, before anything happened to my husband, my wife couldn't even get up from her menstrual period. How could this be called nothing?
Aunt said with a stern face, "Madam, the doctor said that even if the condition is healed, you still need to drink a few more drinks to consolidate it."
"But..." Vianna tried to struggle.
"Drink it quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold."
Under Aunt's selfless expression, Vianna had no choice but to pick up the bowl like a hero, mustered up the courage, and took a sip of the soup in front of him.
As the saying goes, it's better to kill her than to taste it one bite at a time.
After Vianna finished, her face was even paler than before at the funeral. She covered her mouth and almost burst into tears.
Aunt said with satisfaction: "Madam, please go to bed early tonight and I won't disturb you."
After that, she took the bowl and left the room.
Vianna got up in a hurry, locked the door, and found the candy he usually took after taking medicine from the drawer, which suppressed the bitter taste on the back of his tongue.
Wow--
Wind poured in from a floor-to-ceiling window that was not closed, and the curtains were raised high but did not fall down. There was nothing behind the curtains, as if there was someone hiding behind them.
With this association in mind, Vianna suddenly felt terrified when she thought of last night.
Suddenly, a very familiar, gnashing voice sounded in her ears, as if it was right next to her ears, but also seemed to be far away. It was very ethereal, but she heard it clearly.
--"Are you afraid too?"
Vianna trembled, her heart was pounding, her legs were weak, and she looked around cautiously. There was no one else in the empty room except her.
Cassius is back?
impossible!
Vianna suddenly denied it in her heart.
Cassius is dead, and how could there be a ghost in this world?
It's okay, it's okay, don't make a fuss and scare yourself. I miss Cassius so much that I'm just hallucinating.
Vianna patted her chest to calm herself down.
Vianna was trembling with fear, insomnia, and didn't go to bed until midnight. She slept until she woke up naturally the next day.
The light outside the window overflowed through the gaps in the curtains. She stood up and opened the curtains. There was a big tree in the yard with lush branches and leaves, as high as the villa. There were a few birds on the branches and jumping happily. She could vaguely hear the sound outside the window. There was a squeaking sound.
Seeing this scene, Vianna stretched herself comfortably, and she forgot all the weird scenes in the room last night.
She used to be Cassius's pillow. When Cassius got up, she had to get up, choose a shirt, a coat and a tie for Cassius. A full-time nanny seemed to have to take care of Cassius personally, even if Cassius was on weekends. On days when he wasn't at work, he got up early, so how could she have time to sleep in?
After Cassius's death, she was too busy acting out that she was so hurt that she didn't even think about food or drink. It wasn't until today that she fell asleep and woke up naturally.
After washing up, Vianna held the door handle and prepared to open the door, and performed a superb acting skill on the spot for Cassius who was beside him.
It only took a second to go from ecstatic to devastated.
Cassius was amazed.
Going downstairs, Aunt at the dining table saw Vianna coming down and quickly stood up and said, "Madam, what should I have for breakfast?"
Vianna smiled thoughtfully and said, "Just give me two slices of bread and a glass of milk."
"Okay, sit down first and I'll bring it to you right away."
Vianna was despairing and sat at the dining table waiting for Aunt to bring her breakfast, but she was thinking in her heart that Cassius had just died, when would it be appropriate for her to come out of this shadow?
Don't do it too quickly, lest you be criticized.
She couldn't be too slow. She was tired of pretending every day that she couldn't eat anything and that the world was gloomy and colorless.
Aunt knew that she was in a low mood recently and couldn't eat, so she just brought her bread and milk. Vianna thanked her with a smile, broke the bread with her hands, and stuffed it into her mouth bit by bit.
Aunt looked at her from the side and looked worried, "Madam, please drink some milk first. There are only two pieces of bread. You must finish it. If you don't eat in the morning, what will happen if it hurts your stomach?"
Vianna listened to Aunt's words and took a sip of hot milk.
"By the way, Aunt, I want to go out for a walk today."
Aunt was worried about how to get Vianna to go out for a walk. When Vianna said this, she smiled and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk to relax. Staying at home all day can easily make you sick!"
Vianna smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Twenty minutes later, Vianna slowly finished the breakfast.
As soon as Aunt put away her bowl and chopsticks, she heard the sound of vehicle horns outside the villa. She looked outside and said with a surprised smile: "Madam, your mother is here?"
A lady wearing a dark printed cheongsam slowly got out of the car.
Vianna's mother was well-maintained, with long curly hair scattered behind her head. Her cheongsam made her slim and graceful, and her true age could not be seen. As she walked, she smiled and said, "Where's my daughter?"
"Madam is upstairs."
Aunt invited people to the living room.
Vianna's mother paused for a moment in front of Cassius's deceased photo, put on the incense stick, and sighed: "How can such a good person leave just like that?"
"Madam, it's good that you're here, but you have to give your wife some advice. She's been depressed these past two days because of her husband's affairs. If she continues like this, her body won't be able to bear it."
"Mom? Why are you here?" Vianna came down from upstairs and saw her mother, her face became unnatural for a moment.
When three years ago, she was in Cassius's bed. She didn't know what kind of coincidence caused the two of them to have an improper relationship. At that time, Cassius was already standing on the upper level of the pyramid, and her family is still a small and medium-sized enterprise struggling in the middle level. The economy is in recession and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
When Cassius went to bed with 'Vianna', they were selecting the top ten outstanding young people. This reputation was related to a project that cost him his fortune, which would inevitably cause complications. After weighing the pros and cons, Cassius simply married Vianna.
After marrying Vianna, Cassius also successfully won the project with the honor of being one of the top ten outstanding young people. His career was booming and he was in the limelight.
Later, her family also took advantage of Cassius's success, and the company grew bigger and bigger.
Cassius, who was on Vianna's side, also looked at his mother-in-law.
Although she was Vianna's mother, he didn't have a deep impression of Vianna's mother. The deepest impression was the scene three years ago when he slept with Vianna in a daze and she hugged Vianna and cried hysterically.
A girl's innocence is very important, at least in Vianna's mother eyes at that time, it was particularly important. Although it was the first time for him to meet Vianna, when he recalled the absurdity of that night, he didn't find it disgusting, and even felt a bit apprehensive, not to mention that at that time He was in a critical period and his reputation could not be damaged. Since the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, he took advantage of the opportunity and got married.
Although there is no love between them, love is not important to Cassius.
Vianna is well-behaved and sensible, which makes him worry-free, and that's enough.
Vianna's mother looked at Vianna with a smile, "Mom, come to see you."
Vianna knew that her visit would probably be bad, so she said to Aunt: "Aunt, you don't need to be busy here. My mother and I will go to the room to talk."
"OK."
inside the room. Vianna's mother sat on the sofa and looked around the spacious room.
Vianna sat opposite her and asked calmly: "Mom, why are you here today?"
Vianna's mother looked at the woman sitting constrainedly opposite her. She stood up and sat next to Vianna, holding her hand affectionately. "How could Mom not come and see if such a big thing happened? You and Aunt are the only ones left in this house. Two people?"
Vianna nodded.
"Well, you go home with mom and stay for a while."
Go back to her own house?
Vianna shook her head, "No, it's pretty good here."
She could count the number of times she had seen her mother in the past three years on both hands and feet.
Vianna's mother glanced sideways at Vianna, "You kid, you and Aunt are the only two here, and we usually can't even talk to each other. Mom can still talk to you when you go back, so why do you have to live here?"
"Cassius just died, I..."
"You are just stubborn," She sighed, but did not mention it. She glanced at the door and asked in a low voice, "Cassius died. How much inheritance did he leave to you?"
Vianna's face was calm, but in her heart she knew that her mother would have to ask about this matter sooner or later, "I'm not sure."
"I'm not sure how much it is? Vianna, Cassius has no father or mother. Does he have any brothers or sisters? The lawyer must explain his inheritance clearly to you. I am your mother, and you can't even tell me the truth?"
"No, Cassius has held a funeral now, but his body has not been found. In a legal sense, he can only be considered missing and not dead. The lawyer said that if his body still cannot be found after three months, Only then can he apply to the court to declare Cassius dead."
Vianna's mother suddenly realized, "So that's it..."
Vianna glanced at her mother, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was obvious, "Mom, Cassius has brought enough benefits to our family over the years."
It's true, when Cassius married her, he made sure that her family was no longer struggling! But family is really too greedy, especially her family.
