Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 41 Storm In The Ghost House

Looking at Jacob in front of her, Leah was a little surprised. Did he know Zoe?

"You?" Leah looked at Jacob and then at Zoe, who was covering her head.

Hearing what Leah said, Zoe raised her head and looked at Leah in confusion. "Leah, is he your friend?"

"Yes, yes." the corners of Leah's mouth twitched. She looked at Jacob's pale face and then looked at Zoe's confused eyes. "Don't you know each other?"

Zoe grinned, "Angus keeps an eye on me. I seldom know other men."

Jacob's face changed when he heard the three words "Angus", but he immediately resumed his usual casual and talkative manner. "Is Angus the boyfriend of this lady? It sounds that you two have a good relationship. "

"Of course." when Zoe heard others ask her about Angus, she was immediately interested. "Angus is very good, and he is also very good to me."

Jacob's heart ached, but he still smiled gently, "then this lady must be very happy."

"Right." Zoe lowered her head and took out her phone, which was vibrating. She smiled and showed her two cute canine teeth. "Leah, Angus sent me a message and told me that I must go home for lunch this noon. It's so long winded."

Leah covered her mouth and smiled, "He was afraid that I would abduct you."

"Hum, it's just long winded." Zoe pouted, the sweetness in her eyes could not be wiped away.

Jacob felt a sharp pain in his eyes and smiled stiffly. "You can play. I'm going there. I'll treat you to tea another day."

"Okay." Looking at Jacob's receding figure, Leah was lost in thought.

Jacob ran out of the amusement park and smiled bitterly.

She was back, but she was no longer his.

In the amusement park, Zoe took Leah to the shop selling candied haw berries.

"I want two candied haw berries." As soon as Zoe took out the money, the person selling the sugarcoated haws immediately smiled and handed her two skewers.

"Zoe, isn't this for children?" Frowning, Leah looked at the candied haw berries that Zoe put in her hand.

"Who said that? Angus always bought it for me. He said that as long as I like it, I don't need to care about others. " Zoe was full.

Leah also took a bite and asked, "Zoe, do you like Angus very much?"

"Yes, I have known him since I had my memory. He is so good to me and he is not bad looking. There is no reason for me not to like him." Thinking of how good Angus had been to her, Zoe couldn't help smiling sweetly.

"Well, Zoe, what do you want to play later?" [叶歆瑶] didn't say anything more. She looked at the happy face. No matter what stories had happened between [芊羽] and [顾飞] in the past, it was over now, perhaps a long time ago.

"I want to take the pirate ship, go to the ghost house, and play with the jumping machine." [白芊羽] rolled her eyes mischievously.

Leah rubbed her forehead and wondered how Angus had taught her. It was not good for a girl to play such a dangerous thing.

"Let's go to the ghost house first." Zoe held the candied haw berries with one hand and dragged Leah into the ghost house with the other.

Although Leah was an atheist, she was still scared when she entered the ghost house.

"Wow, Leah, look at them. They are all fake. It's boring." Zoe rolled her eyes and complained.

Leah was so scared that she asked, "What are you talking about? Zoe, aren't you afraid? "

Taking a bite of the last candied haw berries, Zoe pointed at a white figure in front of her and said, "Look, that man is wearing a bad quality bed sheet. I can even see his clothes inside."

"By the way, that one's make-up is about to drop. Is it worth coming in? The ghost house I used to go was so horrible." Zoe looked regretful.

Leah broke into a cold sweat. Why was such a lovely girl so valiant?

Leah turned her head and looked at the excited face speechlessly.

"My lady..."

Suddenly, Leah felt a gust of cold wind blowing near her ear, and she couldn't help shivering.

"My lady..." The voice was still haunting.

Leah was scared, "who are you?"

"Ha ha..." A weird smile sounded in her ears.

Suddenly, a thing covered in blood rushed in front of her, with a sharp knife in its hand.

"Ah!" Leah yelled, "Aren't they all dressed up? How could there be such things?"?

"What's wrong?" Zoe turned around and saw Leah staring ahead in horror.

Leah was too scared to say a word. Following her sight, Zoe saw a man covered in blood floating towards them with a sharp knife, and beside them were people whose necks were cut off by him. She also felt scared.

"Leah, what should we do? Let's go. We can't let him hurt us." Zoe got close to Leah and looked at the person cautiously.

"He has a knife." Leah was also anxious.

"Forget it." Zoe quickly stood up and rushed over, punching the man on his bloody face.

"Ah!" With a scream, the man disappeared from their sight.

"Where is he?" Zoe looked around.

"Ah!" Another scream.

Following the voice, Zoe saw herself stepping on a face.

"I was scared to death." Regardless of anything, Zoe kicked her feet randomly.

"Zoe, are you okay?" Leah hurried to help Zoe kick the man on the ground.

"Stop! Stop!" The man on the ground held his head and begged for mercy.

"What's wrong?" The owner of the ghost house walked out anxiously.

The ghost house suddenly lit up. The man who dressed like a ghost on the ground trembled and stood up. He covered his face and looked at Zoe and Leah resentfully. "I'm going to sue you. I'm going to sue you for hurting people for no reason."

"Two ladies, what did our staff do to you the you have to do this? " The boss looked at the injured man and found that he didn't look well.

Looking at the man in front of her, Leah felt embarrassed. That person's eyes blue and swollen. She apologized in a hurry, "I'm really sorry. We didn't mean it."

"We did it on purpose." Zoe said angrily, "He scared us first."

"Go to the police station. I work in the ghost house and my work is to scare people. Why should I be beaten. I'm going to find the police to judge." The man was still wearing blood red clothes. The bright red color and his swollen face looked terrible.

"Don't go to the police station." Leah didn't want to make it a big deal.

"If you don't go to the police station, you have to pay for it." The man glanced at Leah.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Fifty thousand." The man demanded an exorbitant price.

"Fifty thousand? Why don't you go rob? " Zoe was furious. She just kicked him a few times? Fifty thousand. He was robbing the bank.

"Go to the police station if you don't give it to me." The man didn't agree.

"Sir, we can go to the police station only to pay for your medical expenses." Leah's face darkened.

"You hurt me. Are you still reasonable?" The man looked at the two beautiful girls in front of him. If he was more domineering, he might get the money.

"Do you believe that I will beat you up again?" Zoe raised her fist.

"No, no, No. let's have a talk." The owner saw that there was something wrong with the aura and hurried to reconcile.

"Tell me, will you compensate or not?" The man took off his clothes and took off his sleeves, revealing the tattoo on his arm, and his eyes were full of malice.

"You..." Leah held Zoe's hand, hinting her not to be impulsive.

"What if we don't compensate today?" Leah looked into his eyes.

"No compensation? Then let's go to the police station. " The man snorted. His brother-in-law was an officer in the police station, so he could solve this problem for him.

"Don't, don't go to the police station. If this matter goes to the police station, what else can I do with my business?" The boss was anxious.

"What about my medical fees?" The man shouted at the boss.

"I don't think it's worth two thousand for your wound. Two thousand at most. Do you want it or not?" Leah said coldly.

"No, I want fifty thousand." Fifty thousand and two thousand? What a big difference.

Hearing this, the boss was unhappy. "If you insist on asking for fifty thousand, get out of my shop today."

The man immediately stopped talking. He was incompetent and had been fired by many companies. If he lost this job, his wife would divorce him.

"Well," the boss looked at the man who behaved well and turned to Leah, "Miss, the medical fee is two thousand. Are you cash or card?"

"Pay by card." Leah didn't take out so much cash today. She still had some money in her deposit account, and she could afford to pay two thousand.

The boss took them to the dressing room and watched them swipe the money into the man's card before letting them go.

"Boss, you can't hire such an employee. He just think for himself but not the business. Do you think your business can go on? Aren't you afraid that he will cause any big trouble in the future? Can you continue your business?" Leah walked to the door and sneered.

Embarrassed, the man glanced at Leah awkwardly and went back to the dressing room dejectedly.

Out of the ghost house, Zoe looked at Leah with admiration.

"Leah, you are awesome!" Zoe's eyes lit up. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"You, let's go back quickly." Leah smiled.

In the Great Garden, Angus looked at the excited Zoe and asked with a smile, "Where did you go this morning, Zoe'? Why are you so happy? "

"I beat some guy." Zoe blurted out.

Leah choked on the water.

"Slow down." Lucian gently patted her on the back.

"Did you fight?" Angus was shocked. "Did you get hurt somewhere?"

"Oh, no, we beat him up." Zoe picked up the apple on the table and took a bite.

"Oh, does your hand hurt?" Angus held Zoe's hand and examined her carefully.

"We kicked him with our feet." Zoe looked at Angus innocently.

"……"

Angus looked at the pair of shoes with rivets on Zoe's feet and was speechless.

"You don't know that Leah is so shrewd. The person insisted on extorting fifty thousand. Leah defeated him with wisdom and courage." Zoe waved her fist.

Lucian lowered her head and looked at the red faced woman in her arms, "really?"

Leah was embarrassed. What kind of wisdom and courage was she? It was the boss who forced the man to agree in the end.

"By the way, Leah is really good at beating people." Zoe added. She could see clearly that at that time, Leah had exerted more strength than her.

Lucian smiled, "You've made progress."

"I'm hungry. Let's eat." Leah stood up and walked to the kitchen. They are talking about how Zoe had a fight, but why did they talking about her in the end.

In a hotel room of Wilson City, a thin figure was sitting on the ground, eating a piece of hard bread.

Her big eyes were not as charming as before, but now dull and stiff.

Since Charlie made a public apology, Alina was terminated by the entertainment company. The money in her account was almost used up, and she had no way to live.

"Ring, ring, ring..." She remembered her phone in her pocket.

"Hello." Alina said stiffly.

"Alina, it's me." A sweet female voice said.

"What do you want from me? I'm already a wreck. " Alina smiled with self mockery.

"How could our big star be a wreck?"

"My reputation has been ruined."

"How about I send you abroad?"

"Why? What else can I do to you? "

"Big star, don't belittle yourself. You are invaluable."
