Natalia quickly took the boiled water handed to her by He Xiao, poured her some, looked at this elegant woman with pity, and lip-synced to the young man.

"That's just how she is."

Nata really felt a little sorry for Miss Zheng. It wasn't because a bodyguard who was starving felt sorry for his master who was well-fed, but because she knew how painful Zheng Xueyuan's life was.

Miss Zheng is afraid of places where light doesn't reach.

You have to put sensor lights in the wardrobe and drawers, and you have to close your eyes when getting dressed. You dare not go out on the street. When encountering emergencies, the most habitual action is to close your eyes and ask her what happened.

Because she has been living in excessive light for many years, her eyes have been severely damaged. This morning, she was in so much pain that she cried when she put on her contact lenses.

Closed spaces would also make her heart palpitate. When she arrived at He Xiao's house, Zheng Xueyuan patted her chest and said she was thankful, because if He Xiao had gone downstairs to pick her up, he would have seen the embarrassment of the young lady closing her eyes and being led upstairs by someone.

Zheng Xueyuan will grasp every straw, no matter how slim the hope is - if she does nothing, she will definitely die.

Chapter 163 Two Souls

He Xiao saw Natalia's compassionate hint and Miss Zheng Xueyuan's passionate look, and said carefully: "It's not impossible to give it a try. I will definitely do my best to help you."

What? Is it easier to help someone become the governor of Lan Fang than to exorcise ghosts? Why did you agree so quickly?

Miss Zheng clenched her fists, and a trace of unexpected confusion appeared in her slender black eyes. Shouldn't she be frightened by her lion-like request, and then forced to agree to her second-best goal?

"Lan Fang is in power through an elective system, so he should at least be the head of a department first..." Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Xiao spoke to himself.

They actually started to analyze it! Zheng Xueyuan and Natalia were both stunned. Only elder sister Xi Nanfeng sipped her tea with a stern face, trying not to laugh.

Xiao Xiao pretends to be confused, and Miss Zheng is also fooling around, inexplicably pinning her hopes on others! Is there any inevitable connection between He Xiao's winning the football bet and exorcism?

Of course there is a connection! Zheng Xueyuan stared at He Xiao with a pursed mouth. She was unsure about other things, but she was extremely confident about this matter - in fact, she was really sick. Of course, she was not afraid of ghosts, but there were two souls in her body.

One is Zheng Xueyuan, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family who is afraid of the dark and ghosts. She takes care of her grandmother in Jiangbai Garden and often receives domestic and foreign dignitaries and financial tycoons on her behalf.

Another one is the serious music teacher Zheng Fujin, who is quietly teaching music classes at Fuqiu No. 1 Middle School, and is paying attention to He Xiao deliberately.

There are many causes of schizophrenia. As the dominant person in the body, Zheng Xueyuan underwent a detailed psychological diagnosis, and the doctor concluded that the other personality was born to protect her.

Ten years ago, she only remembered that after she had a fever, she had a nightmare of walking alone on the road at night. After waking up, an evil ghost appeared in the darkness. She didn't know why this evil ghost came to haunt her, but she knew that praying to all the gods and Buddhas was of no use.

The other personality in her body, Zheng Fujin, was born to protect her and must know something.

She was only nine years old ten years ago. Why did her other self go to such great lengths to get key personnel from her elders to secretly protect He Xiao?

Why did my other self help He Xiao and Xi Nanfeng settle down in Fuqiu, and suddenly start paying attention to a child who had lost his parents for no reason?

Time, place, people, so many coincidences overlapped together, Zheng Xueyuan didn't believe that this had nothing to do with the ghosts that were haunting him.

Zheng Xueyuan wore light makeup and had her eyes lined, making them look long and narrow but beautiful. Her dark and bright eyes were not lively. The quiet lake reflected a handsome and silent boy, and her gentle smile was full of inquiry.

"Zheng Fujin, why are you so anxious? I won't do anything..." Zheng Xueyuan said in her heart with her eyes narrowed. The first time she saw He Xiao in Jiangbai Garden, she could feel the throbbing of another self, the kind of accelerated heartbeat that was full of warning.

Zheng Fujin was warning herself not to act rashly, because if she took extreme measures it would definitely cause backlash from the other personality.

Her doting grandmother is getting older and older and her health is getting worse. Her parents have already given her younger brothers and sisters and it seems that they are going to give up on her, a mentally ill person.

Zheng Xueyuan just wanted to understand the whole story and get rid of her mental illness. She didn't want to be a woman who was afraid of darkness and had schizophrenia. She had ambitions, money and power! She could have enjoyed an infinitely beautiful life! Instead of shrinking in a specially made room and suffering!

Zheng Xueyuan... Didn't he just want her to learn how to be a flying bird? She was tired of hiding in the nest, she couldn't waste her life like this!

Zheng Fujin was unwilling to communicate with her, and He Xiao... was a breakthrough! He must have some connection with the evil ghost!

No one would open their hearts easily. It didn't matter. Although she was in a bad situation, she still had the skills to win over a little boy with soft and hard coaxing! She showed her tenacity of visiting the thatched cottage three times...

"He Xiao, let's work hard together." Zheng Xueyuan tilted his head, as if the surprise just now had never existed, and said gently and tenaciously: "When I become the ruler, I will definitely support you!"

The fortune hasn't even been drawn yet, and they're already promising benefits! He Xiao nodded with a fake smile. It's all nonsense that the archon can ward off evil spirits! Zheng Xueyuan's smile was kind and natural, and she seemed like a whimsical girl in the gentle breeze.

But he simply didn't believe that Zheng Xueyuan, who had a group of ruthless and tough men under his command, was a kind-hearted person. Smiling Tiger had already given him enough face today, and it would be impolite to refuse again.

Besides, He Xiao didn’t think that Zheng Xueyuan would have no chance of reaching the top of Lan Fang. This was a matter of human effort, so he nodded heavily.

Everyone smiled happily. This was the benefit of being friends. If you break your promise, you can be forgiven. After talking for so long, it was finally time for dinner. Seeing that it was almost time, Xi Nanfeng hooked the boy's little finger. He Xiao understood and stood up: "Today, please invite Miss Zheng and Natalia to taste my cooking skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xueyuan stood up and agreed, "Let me help you, He Xiao." Ignoring Nata and Xi Nanfeng's dissuasion, he squeezed into the kitchen and insisted on talking to the boy alone.

There was no lighting in the kitchen, and the young lady lost her ease and naturalness as soon as she came in. She stood stiffly at the door, staring at the ceiling, not daring to move.

The kitchen is full of dark corners. In her eyes, it must be like a devil's cave.

"How can you cook when you're like this? You'd better get out." He Xiao picked up the plate and advised her without looking back. The ingredients had been prepared in the morning and could be stir-fried or deep-fried right away.

"I really can't cook." Zheng Xueyuan bit her lower lip. Her lips, which were plump and pink with lipstick, were scratched by her porcelain-white teeth to varying depths. Her aggrieved expression made her look even more pitiful.

"He Xiao, I can feel that you are very wary of me." Now that there was no one else around, Zheng Xueyuan finally didn't have to act like a lady anymore. She folded her hands and frowned as she spoke.

This was the first time she had tried so hard to get close to and please someone, but now it seemed like a complete failure. He Xiao was clearly a half-grown child, but he had an extremely independent mind; he clearly came from a poor family, but he was not tempted by huge profits at all.

Zheng Xueyuan can be very patient. She can't enjoy the life of a normal person anyway. She can just play slowly with the boy and find some fun in her life which has no future.

Looking at the young man in front of him with an indifferent expression, Zheng Xueyuan gritted his teeth and said firmly in his heart: Go ahead and pretend, who can resist the approach of a girl with noble status, very rich and beautiful appearance?

She, Zheng Xueyuan, will never let him go!

Chapter 164 Snow Country Elves

"Under the gaze of others, we all have to play our own roles well. I am Miss Zheng who is confident in what she is doing, and you are a good child who listens to Xi Nanfeng..."

Zheng Xueyuan shook his head: "At first I thought that face-to-face conversations would allow us to be open and honest, but in fact, under the gaze of others, we still cannot express our true will."

He Xiao was stir-frying and the heavy fumes were a bit choking. Zheng Xueyuan lowered his head to cover his mouth and coughed twice. Seeing that the handkerchief was covered with pink rouge from the lips, he simply wiped off the rest with force.

"My illness, or rather the ghost, started to haunt me ten years ago, around the same time your parents had the car accident."

Zheng Xueyuan was somewhat emotional: "I was only nine years old at that time. I had a dream when I had a fever. I dreamed that I was walking on the road at night, and there was a monster walking upside down following me."

"Every time I stop, the evil ghost behind me will get closer." Zheng Xueyuan tilted his head to look at the white tiles on the kitchen ceiling, which were a little yellow because of the smoke that seeped in.

"Finally I was caught up, and when I woke up I was lying in the hospital. From then on I would see the evil ghost walking upside down in the dark."

He Xiao didn't really believe that there were ghosts in the world, but seeing Zheng Xueyuan's calm look, he could only respond by saying, "Maybe it's an illusion?"

"I heard there are some special hallucinogenic drugs or hypnotic methods." He Xiao hinted cryptically: "Your Zheng family should be able to get access to them easily, right?"

"But I'm not such an important person." Zheng Xueyuan shook his head, his hair brushing across his straight shoulders, looking a little desolate and helpless.

"Even if I wasn't afraid of the dark, my father and mother wouldn't have given me so much resources and power - they've already given me two younger brothers."

Even though this reward wasn't very generous, they could still know his and Li's scores before the results came out, and they could dispatch a dozen retired soldiers from the army and the security services to protect him.

By the way, there is also the huge Jiang Bai Garden and countless servants serving around.

As if seeing He Xiao's inner complaints, Zheng Xueyuan waved his hand and explained, "Jiang Baiyuan and those retired personnel who are protecting you are not under my control. They belong to my grandma."

"I only have a few maids and bodyguards, and some money... I don't have any direct power that is decisive." Zheng Xueyuan explained frankly. She really felt that she was very weak.

Jiangbai Garden is where grandma lives in her old age. She doesn’t live there alone. She doesn’t have enough people to help her, so she often sends Natalia to run errands. The other maids can only serve people, but they are weaklings. It would be dangerous to act alone in the old city...

Most of the time, she is just relying on the power of others to bully others. She can only manipulate privileges in Fuqiu by relying on her grandmother's favor. The local bureaucrats also give face to her because of the surname Zheng. Who made her relatives hold important positions in Lan Fang?

Only in this way can we find out He Xiao’s score and crack down on some masters and temples that are cheating people out of their money.

"How much is some money?" He Xiao picked up the sizzling dishes and quickly put them on the plate: "If there are 100 or 200 million..."

"About 1.7 billion or 1.8 billion, although most of it is not in cash." The eldest lady said naively like a good baby, and walked closer with her head tilted back and suppressed her fear. She picked up the plate and went out. When she came back, the boy was still in a daze.

"Is the Zheng family so rich? How can they have so much money even if they are not favored?" He Xiao couldn't believe it and shook his head mechanically.

"My grandma saved all this for me." Zheng Xueyuan finally saw the frightened look on He Xiao's face, and he paced back and forth with a bit of pride like a penguin.

"Grandma can't hide any disturbance in Lan Fang or even the world's financial market. Let me tell you a secret... The Penglai crisis will end at the end of August, so you should sell your stocks in advance."

The "Penglai Crisis" was the dispute between Lan Fang and Oceania over an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, which they called Penglai and those over there called Hawaii.

This is indeed a conspiracy! The national debt and the stocks of arms companies have been hyped up. The warships of the two superpowers have been deadlocked for several months, and suddenly they are like brothers, and they shamelessly issued a "friendly statement"

"How much did you earn?" He Xiao asked in a low voice.

The eldest lady held up five fingers: "Five hundred million, it should be less than..." She was not evil-minded at all. Her eldest nephew was the ruler of Lan Fang, and he sold 60 billion of short-term treasury bonds in just three months.

As a reborn person, He Xiao can predict the future and can only stand on the wind, but others have already opened the whole map! If the international situation needs to be tense, it can be tense, and if it needs to be relaxed, it can be relaxed immediately. It is really shameless to stir up gimmicks.

"Where's Natalia? She seems quite pitiful, right? She's been in such a difficult time recently. A few days ago, she complained to me that you didn't pay her for the work she did."

"Ah... There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. She donated the money herself, who can she blame?" Zheng Xueyuan paused after complaining, still couldn't bear to say that to the Rakshasa woman.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Who made her come from a special background?"

"I would like to know."

Zheng Xueyuan puffed up her cheeks and leaned against the wall indignantly: "I think you can't walk after seeing a beautiful woman. She is just a little prettier. If you can be so patient with me, I can give you much more."

"I just feel sorry for the simple-minded woman." He Xiao stabbed the not-so-simple Miss Zheng. Actually, he didn't have any thoughts about Natalia. He just wanted to poach Zheng Xueyuan. In the past few days, he had been hinting that Natalia should quit her job as a response to her boss who didn't pay her.

Zheng Xueyuan smiled playfully, thinking the boy was lying, and folded his hands and said, "Natalia was born in Western Luosha, which is Luosha in the European part ruled by the Germans."

"As for the Germans, you know, unless they are so-called 'Aryans', their lives are basically like hell."

"The Rakshasas are no different from slaves. Because the infant mortality rate is so high, they are often given to local guerrillas to raise."

"She was a baby girl sent to the guerrillas for adoption. She had no memory of having parents since she was born. Only the female guerrillas taught her to speak and fed her."

"So, Natalia only has a country, but no home. When she was a child, she called the female guerrillas her mother and the male guerrillas her father. When she grew up to be a teenage girl, the newly adopted children would call her mother."

"They fought the Germans in the Don River Basin for more than ten years but were eventually wiped out. Maybe it was because of her blonde hair and blue eyes? Unlike ordinary Slavs, she fled to Eastern Russia alone, and was later sent to Lan Fang. Now she works for me."

Chapter 165: A Schoolgirl's Pure Love Masterpiece

Zheng Xueyuan narrated the Rakshasa woman's origin in a calm and straightforward tone, and it was hard to tell how many thrills there were in this legendary life.

He Xiao sighed. No wonder Natalia and the ascetic monk saved and donated money in a self-abusing manner.

This woman has a family. The hundreds of millions of Russians who are being ravaged by the Germans and Russian warlords are her family, and every child is her son, daughter, brother or sister.

"If she hadn't been sent to Lan Fang because of her beauty, she would probably have continued her struggle in the Snow Country, right?" He Xiao sighed, not knowing whether this was fortunate or unfortunate for Nata.

"I will definitely do that." Zheng Xueyuan said with certainty. She had always been with her grandmother, so she had come into contact with many of Lan Fang's secrets.

Western Rakshasa was German territory, and hundreds of guerrillas in this land had received more or less secret assistance from them. Natalia might have eaten authentic Lan Fang canned pork... uh, the language on the box was Rakshasa.

The Germans were also causing trouble in Eastern Russia. Those insect-like warlords had no idea how many German marks were stuffed in their pockets.

With Germany and Lan Fang serving as the dragon and phoenix, it seems that the bloody struggle on the land of Luosha will continue for many years.

However, the struggle between He Xiao and Miss Zheng has come to an end for the time being.

Seeing that nothing unexpected happened to the two in the kitchen, Xi Nanfeng and Natalia put their minds at ease. They had only taken a few bites of lunch when they heard another commotion downstairs.

Natalia pricked up her ears and listened. She could hear several men making a noise and banging on doors on the second floor. A quarter of an hour had passed but there was still no sound.

"I'll go down and take a look." Natalia wiped her red lips and stood up. As a qualified bodyguard, she didn't need Miss Zheng's instructions at all and would solve the problem on her own.

He Xiao refused Xiao Qingmei's offer to share with him the pork belly slices with only fat left after the vegetarian meat was eaten: "I'll go with you to take a look."

How could he not be there? This was a big show specially prepared for him by his schoolmate Ye Tangxin.

Xi Nanfeng hesitated for a moment. She didn't want the boy to get involved in such things, but she didn't want to let the guest go alone. She straightened his collar and said, "Xiao Xiao, you go. I'm at home."

Three men were crowded in the narrow stairwell on the second floor. The leader had a shaved head and pounded heavily on the big iron door of Ye Tangxin's house with a gloomy face, and rust fell down.

"Hurry up and open the door! Don't pretend there's no one here!"

Ye Tangxin's voice came from inside, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth and pretending to be cold and hard, shouting in a shrill voice: "My... Mom is not at home, you can come to see her next time."

"Open the door first and let us go in and talk." The man with the flat head softened his tone, but the hostility in his eyes did not diminish at all. Debt collection is actually a profound sociological subject. Every debt collector must grasp one thing - meet and talk.

Whether it is through the door, by phone or by message, the creditor will have the illusion that he is safe. The creditor must be seen face to face to make people feel afraid.

He Xiao was watching the farce below from upstairs, not knowing what expression to make.

What Ye Tangxin cares most about is the sense of ritual. In her previous life, she fell in love with herself because she saved her. In this life, she must repeat this story to satisfy her obsessive possessiveness and unfounded sense of fate.

She was like a smug dramatist who, by chance in her previous life, had created a romantic love story for herself. Naturally, she wanted to reproduce this masterpiece - even at the cost of changing history and alerting herself.

Of course, Ye Tangxin inside the door could not be fooled by a few sweet words. The weak and thin girl put on a white dress today, which made her look fairy-like and also exposed the flatness of her chest. She turned a deaf ear to the noisy noise outside and stood in front of the mirror, admiring her own image.

She was really pretty, but her breasts were too small. Ye Tang was excited but also had a hint of regret. If she was given another two years to develop, she could at least beat Jian Ping...

When she thought of that silly face, the girl's delicate and unparalleled white face suddenly turned red in annoyance. Her butt was still hurting badly now. That day, when Jian Ping saw the love that Brother He Xiao had left for her, she was extremely jealous. She had to know how much Brother He Xiao loved her, and she almost died of pain from scratching him.

There was no movement from inside the door. The three gangsters looked at each other and deliberately raised their voices for Schoolmate Ye to hear: "Lao Li, please come over. We lost the key to our door. Can you unlock it for us..."

At this point, a person with a wavering mind would probably open the door and give in, but the school girl was still waiting for the actors to arrive, unmoved.
