Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 266


    Chapter 266 This Must Be Your First Time Being Sold


    In days gone by, Mu Zhi had the feeling that Secretary Rao was an unfriendly person.


    But it was justifiable, because she cared for Xie Xiu, and Mu Zhi had always troubled him.


    However, Mu Zhi suddenly discovered another side of Secretary Rao today. She exuded a shuddering


    chill around her.


    It was hair-raising.


    Mu Zhi did not respond to Secretary Rao’s words. She merely nced at Secretary Rao worriedly.


    Secretary Rao raised the corner of her lips and sniggered, “You wouldn’t know, nor care because we


    were born different.”


    Secretary Rao slowly walked towards a shelf and said, “There were thirty of us in our batch. We fought


    and grew up together. Nevertheless, when we reached a certain level of training, we were made to


    battle each other to death. Some lost their lives during the battle, some survived. However, some of the


    survivors could only take on lowly jobs after that because they were no longer physically fit. I’m able to


    stay by Mr. Xie Xiu’s side right now because of the countlessst breaths I waged for.”


    “That’s awful.”


    Mu Zhi let out an uncontroble sigh.


    “Mr. Xie Xiu has always been a careful and strong person. But he has now hesitated countless times


    because of you. Do you know what huge mistake you have made?”


    Mu Zhi did not know how to continue anymore as she heard Secretary Rao’s words.


    It sounded atrocious no matter what.


    How could there be such a creepy person…


    Xie Xiu had made such a terriblew.


    “You wouldn’t know because you are one who gets love easily.”


    Secretary Rao chuckled lightly at her conclusion.


    “I think you might have misunderstood some of the things.”


    Mu Zhi fudged and mudged, then exined to Secretary Rao, “My rtionship with Mr. Xie Xiu isn’t


    what you think it is. I love Lu Jinye.”

    “Enough!”


    Secretary Rao hollered at Mu Zhi, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to prove that you do not


    have feelings for Mr. Xie Xiu, and he is the one who’s badgering you? So that no fingers will be pointed


    at you?”


    Mu Zhi could only watch Secretary Rao as she raged with anger. When she was done, Mu Zhi


    apologized quietly, “I’m sorry.”


    Secretary Rao looked at Mu Zhi and snickered, “You don’t have to be. Let’s get going.”


    She turned around spontaneously and walked away. Mu Zhi checked behind her and hurriedly tagged


    along.


    She knew Secretary Rao meant immediate action when she said that. She followed closely behind


    Secretary Rao out of this significant and creepy building. She walked to the front of the car and opened


    the door.


    Mu Zhi slowly got into the car. When she saw a helicopter in the yard, she hesitated, “Are we going to


    the airport?”


    Secretary Rao nodded.


    Then she got into the car.


    When Mu Zhi had gone into the car, Secretary Rao started the engine.


    After going through a series of overloaded days, Mu Zhi had been very tensed up. Sitting beside


    Secretary Rao, she was aware that her nerves had tightened deeper, even though she had no idea


    why. She sat vigntly beside Secretary Rao.


    Secretary Rao could feel Mu Zhi’s jitter. She nced at her and said, “It’s alright, you may take a rest.


    There’s no use keeping watch now. If I wished to take your life, you wouldn’t be able to run away.”


    Mu Zhi had no clue how she should react towards Secretary Rao’s random topics anymore.


    She merely gazed confusedly at Secretary Rao and asked, “Did Mr. Xie Xiu directed you to send me


    here?”


    Secretary Rao looked into Mu Zhi’s eyes and replied firmly, “Yes.”


    “Then did Mr. Xie Xiu direct you to bring me back now?”


    “No.”


    “Then…”


    “I made the decision myself for you to leave Xie Xiu. Mr. Xie Xiu had wanted you to stay by his side.”


    Secretary Rao exined.


    Mu Zhi was mucked up for a response. She did not know if this was a good or bad thing.


    The atmosphere was enveloped in a tense air.


    Mu Zhi pondered for quite some time, then pried, “You like Mr. Xie Xiu, don’t you?”


    This question made Secretary Rao’s eyes waver, “Mr. Xie Xiu is not interested in women.”


    Just then, Mu Zhi realized that Secretary Rao had swerved into a junction heading into the woods.


    Oddly, there was another junction towards a more developed area.


    Mu Zhi was appalled. She reminded Secretary Rao, “Are we going the right way?”


    “Absolutely!”


    Secretary Rao did not borate further.


    “Then where are you bringing me to?”


    Mu Zhi suddenly got high-strung.


    “Las Vegas’ Underground Gambling House!”


    Secretary Rao stepped onto the elerator just as she finished. The sudden flush of speed gushed


    through Mu Zhi’s body that instant.


    Mu Zhi was bowled over.


    Trembling, she tried to find her voice and begged Secretary Rao, “Please don’t send me there!”


    “This is the best solution I can think of for you to leave Mr. Xie Xiu!”


    Secretary Rao’s words were so distressing that it sent chills down Mu Zhi’s spine.


    Mu Zhi did not dare utter a single word anymore.


    She sat aside and watched as the car glided faster and faster. There was not even a single chance for


    her to jump out of the vehicle.


    This terror apanied her all the way. When she had entered Las Vegas City, her heart dropped.


    This was the end. She was doomed.


    There was no way she could attempt an escape anymore.


    After Secretary Rao brought Mu Zhi to the gambling house, she left right away after leaving a few


    words to the person in charge. Then, Mu Zhi was brought to a pitch-dark cell.


    There was only a faint stream of light in the cell whenever someone opened the door.


    Mu Zhi tried her best to shout for help, but her efforts were in vain. Nobody responded.


    Mu Zhi lost count of how long she had shouted. After quite some time, suddenly Mu Zhi heard a


    woman’s voice, “This must be your first time being sold. You can stop shouting. Nobody in this ce


    will save you.”


    “Sold?”


    When Mu Zhi heard this word, she shuddered.


    She looked at the person beside her in disbelief.


    She couldn’t see the person’s face in this darkness. She could only make out the contour of her face


    slightly.


    The person smiled and continued, “Every ck Friday, there will be a Beauty and the Beast


    performance. Ten women will go on stage for bidding. Nine will be sold, and the one with the least


    votes will be fed to the lions.”


    Mu Zhi was bewildered.


    What is this hell?
