Chapter 122: Chapter 122: They Even Cut Off Her Tap WaterThat night, Lin Xinlan witnessed Rong Shaoze’s cruel side for the first time. She thought that this was the extent of his brutality. It wasn’t until a long time later, when she saw his truly terrifying side, that she realized the brutality of that night was just the tip of the iceberg... ---- Lin Xinlan wrapped herself in a blanket, hands covering her face, and took a deep breath. Her slender body couldn’t help trembling lightly, like a wounded little animal. It took her a while to regain her composure and get out of bed with the intention of taking a shower in the bathroom. She turned on the tap, but there was still no water. With a slight frown of annoyance, she was about to go downstairs to ask if the water pipes were broken when she happened to hear the sound of water sprinkling outside. The garden’s sprinkler system watered the flowers and plants every morning on a set schedule. She walked to the window and looked down, indeed the sprinkler was irrigating. This meant that the water had not been shut off. So, why was there no water in her room? Recalling what Rong Shaoze had said the day before, that she was not allowed to drink any water, she understood. He was worried that she would drink tap water, so despicably, he had cut off even the tap water to her. Lin Xinlan’s shoulders slumped, a flicker of disgust flashing across her eyes. No one was here, so she dared to show this emotion. If Rong Shaoze had seen it, he would have been shocked. He thought Lin Xinlan just disliked him, having no idea that her dislike had reached its peak, escalating to disgust. Returning to the bedroom, Lin Xinlan changed the blanket and sheets and continued to sleep. She thought she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, yet surprisingly she quickly drifted off. She didn’t sleep well, troubled by terrifying dreams that left her both physically and mentally exhausted. Unexpectedly, she slept through the entire day. Waking up exhausted, she thought it was still daytime, but after checking the date, she incredulously realized she had slept for a full 24 hours. Trying the tap again, water flowed. She usually didn’t bathe in the tub, but she was so tired that day, she soaked in the bathtub for a long time before getting out. Downstairs, the old butler saw her, hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Young Madam, you’re awake? Would you like to eat now? The meal is already prepared." Was it because the two days of punishment had passed, and therefore the servants were no longer cold to her? Lin Xinlan, expressionless, spoke indifferently, "Bring me a bowl of porridge first." "Certainly, right away." She wouldn’t petulantly refuse to eat, that was the least wise choice. Moreover, she had long passed the age of acting on impulse. In her eyes, dignity and face were worth less than a solid bowl of rice. After eating something, Lin Xinlan felt much stronger. She rested for a while longer and felt even more energetic. Thinking that she could continue playing games today, she went upstairs, brought down her computer, placed it on the glass table, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and started playing. She already knew the answer, so she just had to select the correct character directly. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
