Chapter 1298: The Villa Rumors

he door of the educated youth's point and wanted to exchange the rabbit fur for some pickled cabbage."That's great! We can use this rabbit fur to make the lining for our cotton shoes."Wang Xiufen touc...The intermediary heard Ripple's words and his eyebrows danced with delight. It was great that she wasn't afraid of ghosts, it seemed like he had a chance to close this dead deal.

"Miss Chou, I'll take you to see it right now. The house is definitely a good one, and all the furniture inside is already there. Just have someone clean it up, and you can move in."

The younger brother eagerly opened the car door and immediately drove Ripples to see the house.

The car stopped in front of a small villa. Lian Ri got out of the car first and looked at the rusty iron fence gate. As she raised her head, she saw a woman in red standing at the second-floor window. The other party’s gaze was unkind, and her eerie eyes made her skin crawl.

"Interesting."

The ripples, however, became more interested because the woman in red had a heavy resentment about her, but she seemed unable to leave this place. She was more like being bound here, which is why there are rumors of ghosts haunting this place.

The middleman, a fellow named Xiao Ge, took a long time to pry open the rusted lock. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he pushed open the door and let Lian Yi in to take a look at the interior of the two-story villa.

After the door was opened, a cold wave of air hit him, mixed with dust and mildew.

"Miss Chou, I apologize. Since this is a last-minute viewing, I wasn't able to arrange for someone to clean beforehand. Please understand."

The intermediary looked a little embarrassed, waving away the dust with his hand before stepping inside first. He opened the heavy curtains in the living room on the first floor, letting the sunlight flood the room. Lian Ri stood at the doorway, motionless, waiting for the dust to settle before she took a step across the threshold.

Once inside, the ripples felt as if they were in another space. Outside, the sun was scorching hot, but inside the house was unusually cool, even a little cold. It felt like the sunlight coming through the windows wasn't so intense anymore.

The real estate agent rubbed his goosebumps-covered arms and, gritting his teeth, led Lian Ri on a tour of the first and second floors, even showing her the attic. He kept the visit to an hour and then left the house.

As soon as Lian Yi sat back in his car, the real estate agent visibly let out a breath of relief. That’s when she finally spoke:

"Brother, tell me the story behind this haunted house!"

"Miss Chou, to be honest, no one has ever died in this house. It's just that some people spread rumors, and over time, it became known as a haunted house. You know, when rumors are embellished and exaggerated, they take on a different flavor."

The intermediary explained.

I understand what you mean, but I think there's a reason for this. As for how exactly, just tell me what you know and I'll figure it out.

"Okay."

The intermediary saw that LianYi was interested in the house, so he blurted out everything he knew. Anyway, if he didn't say it, others would find out too. It's better not to have the deal fall through and damage his reputation later. The boss would definitely reprimand him.

This small villa was built by a wealthy overseas Chinese who returned to his hometown. He spent a lot of money on it with the intention of finding a wife and starting a family. He had a successful business, but unfortunately, he couldn't have children. He was almost forty years old, and his wife hadn't given him any sons or daughters either.

This overseas Chinese man's wife is a tigress, she doesn't give her husband any chance to flirt. So he doesn't even have an illegitimate child.

As he grew older, the overseas Chinese felt increasingly anxious. He had worked hard to amass this vast fortune, and when combined with his wife's own assets, the thought of it going to outsiders was unbearable. He simply couldn't accept it.

The wife wanted to adopt a child from her own family. The overseas Chinese was unwilling, and even if they were to adopt, they would adopt their Tao family's children. The couple argued endlessly, and finally Tao Jingfeng spoke:

"No matter who we adopt, they are not our own blood. It's better to give birth through surrogacy, at least keeping our own lineage. You raise the child from a young age and won't be afraid of not getting close to them."

Tao Fu thought about it and conceded, after all, it was her own body that had problems and couldn't give birth, which led to the current situation.

The couple came to Yangcheng temporarily under the pretense of returning home to invest. This house was built for comfort, but the hostess, Mrs. Tao, did not live here. She went to Guangcheng, and Tao Jingfeng pretended to be a widowed diamond king bachelor and appeared in Yangcheng.

Soon after, he started dating a woman named Xi Luo (ruo). After three months of dating, they got married in a flash and even had a wedding. They invited many people to celebrate with them. Everyone said that Xi Luo was lucky. Although her husband was divorced, he was very successful.

After marriage, Xi Nuo also lived a very comfortable life. Soon after, she became pregnant, and what's more, she was carrying twins. Tao Jingfeng was overjoyed. He had already arranged for someone to take a look and knew it was a boy and a girl. He became even more attentive to Xi Nuo and specially hired someone to take care of his little wife, allowing her to have a smooth delivery after ten months of pregnancy.

After having a child, Tao Jingfeng became even more devoted to Xi Nuo. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was the apple of his eye. He showered her with gifts - clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry were constantly being sent back to her. The only reason he didn't spend all his time at their villa was that his business in Yangcheng was expanding rapidly. Besides visiting home to see their child, Tao Jingfeng had to focus on work.

Shortly after, rumors began circulating nearby that Xi Nuo's childhood sweetheart had returned and was reportedly pursuing her, hoping to rekindle their past relationship. However, Xi Nuo clearly wasn't interested.

Over time, rumors naturally reached Tao Jingfeng's ears. However, he didn't care at all, claiming that he had money and status, able to provide Xi Nuo with a good life. Besides, they already had two children. His little wife wouldn't choose someone else, he even dismissed it with a smile and remained busy as usual.

Over the next few days, people started seeing Xi Nou and a man arguing, both seeming very agitated. Several others also witnessed this, and rumors began to spread.

After a month, Tao Jingfeng returned to the villa and heard what the hired nanny had to say. He even went to talk to Xi Nuo specifically. After that, Xi Nuo didn't go out for a long time, and the rumors also subsided for a while.

When Tao Jingfeng was preparing for his child's first birthday party, Xi Luo ran away leaving a note. She claimed to be going in search of true love and took all the expensive jewelry Tao Jingfeng had bought her with her.

Tao Jingfeng's high blood pressure flared up, and after waking up, he immediately arranged for people to look for his little wife. However, nothing was found, and things eventually escalated to the point of reporting it to the police. Finally, someone came forward saying they seemed to have seen Xi Nuo and her childhood sweetheart on a boat crossing the sea.

Tao Jingfeng was furious and canceled the first birthday party. He took his two children back to Hong Kong, sold the house, saying he didn't want to stay in this place of pain, and left without looking back.

Because this small villa was originally used by Tao Jingfeng to live in, it used genuine materials and sold for a good price. However, the people who moved in afterwards encountered misfortunes one after another. Even the female owner of one family went insane. Over time, this small villa became known as a haunted house.

Of course, there were also people who didn't believe in superstition and bought this small villa. However, they all ended up badly in the end, and the villa was left with their boss.

After hearing the intermediary's story, Lian Yi directly asked:

"To what extent is the rumor that Tao Jingfeng used a surrogate mother true"

"That...I really don't know, but Tao Jingfeng and Xi Ruo only had a wedding feast and didn't get a marriage certificate. This is true."take them."You keep it. In the future, I'll let you handle all the money."Song Dachuan spoke directly.Huzizi blinked his eyes and asked curiously:"Sister, when did you hide Why didn't Tiger find you""...
