Chapter 142  : Brother Girlfriend

“Lu Si, look at you now. You look like a ghost. You blame yourself every day for killing your brother, right? You’re already so thin. I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can personally go down and apologize to your brother!” The woman’s words were getting more and more unpleasant.

Although Lu Si was angry, Su Meng could tell that she was not good at arguing with others. She did not know what to say after being scolded by the woman. Her pale face turned red. It was obvious that she was angry.

“You really know how to twist the truth. My brother’s accident was obviously because of you! How dare you come here? Do you really think that I am easy to bully?” Lu Si pushed the woman out. Then, she immediately closed the door and did not want to talk to her anymore.

“Lu Si, let me tell you. Don’t think that just because you found friends to stay with you, I won’t dare to come here in the future. Who doesn’t have friends?! Hey, those two friends just now, this Lu Si is not a good person. You have to be careful when you stay with her. Lu Si is not a normal person. She will kill people! Don’t blame me for not warning you!”

The woman knocked on the door and shouted at the same time. After shouting, she saw that no one was paying attention to her. She knew that she had no interest in nagging and left.

“Sorry, I made a fool of myself.” Lu Si was a little embarrassed.

Su Meng shook her head. Recalling what that woman had said, she wondered why Lu Si would kill someone?

Whether that was true or not, she had to be careful. After all, nothing was more important than her own life.

Su Meng looked at the smoke on the small incense burner and asked Lu Si, “Who was that woman just now? Do you have any grudges?”

“Her name is Fang Yin. She’s my brother’s ex-girlfriend.”

“The two of them have been talking for almost three years. My brother loves her very much. Fang Yin’s family is very poor. She has an alcoholic father, a sick mother, and a younger brother. My brother doesn’t mind this at all. After all, I’m his only relative. For me, as long as he’s happy, it’s fine. I don’t care who he’s with.”

“But one day half a year ago, my brother suddenly told me that he saw Fang Yin hugging another man. The two of them were still discussing how to get all the money under her name after Fang Yin and my brother got married.”

“My brother is a good person, but he cares too much about relationships. He felt that he had been deceived and cheated on, so he committed suicide in a fit of anger. As for that Fang Yin, she always thought that I killed my brother. She thought that I did it just to monopolize the family property.”

Lu Si lowered her head. Su Meng could not see her expression, but she could hear her voice trembling.

“She just wanted to take the family property from me again, so she kept coming to look for clues. Unfortunately, the police have already investigated. My brother committed suicide and his bones were cremated. The evidence was conclusive. It was useless for her to make a fuss.”

Su Meng did not expect there to be such a story between them. She understood a little. It was all about money anyway. As for who was telling the truth and who was lying, that was not certain. Sometimes, the person who looked the most like a good person was actually a bad person.

“Miss Lu, this place is so remote, and you’re the only one living here. You have to be careful during normal times. It’s too dangerous,” Su Meng said.

Lu Si nodded and didn’t say anything else. Su Meng began to focus on her own things.

The smoke had already floated up a lot. It was actually in a rotating shape. The shape was like a small tornado.

“What does this mean?” Shen Jian had never seen the smoke float into such a shape. He looked at Su Meng in shock.

Su Meng ignored him and took out a compass from her bag. She sprinkled the incense ash in the censer on it and the compass began to spin. At first, the needle spun very slowly, but it became faster and faster, just like that day in the small building in the manor.

Su Meng’s heart sank, but her expression did not change. She quietly put her things away, then turned around and sat on the chair, pretending that nothing had happened.

The air conditioner had been turned off at some point, and the room was getting hotter and hotter. Su Meng and Shen Jian were already starting to sweat.

“I’m really sorry. This house has been around for a long time, so things often break. The air conditioner is broken again, so I’ll have to trouble you to bear with it. I’ll get someone to fix it later.” Lu Si brought two cups of cold tea. She looked a little embarrassed.

“It’s okay. It’s not easy for Miss Lu to live here alone. Haven’t you thought of selling the house and then going to the city to buy another one?” Su Meng once again rejected the tea Lu Si brought over, and at the same time, she did not ask Shen Jian to take it.
