Mrs. Lu knelt down and looked at Jiang Lan with disgust on her face.

Jiang Lan's eyes flickered and he stared at Mrs. Lu for a moment, trying to find out from Mrs. Lu what mistake he had made.

But Mrs. Lu only said: "I originally wanted to kill you, but seeing how pitiful you are, I just need to reflect on you here."

"I won't let you out until Jingchi gets married."

Jiang Lan's pupils dilated little by little, and the expressions in her eyes kept changing. She understood every word of what Mrs. Lu said, but when combined together, she couldn't understand it.

What does it mean... Lu Jingchi is married?

When Mrs. Lu saw her look like this, she became even more angry, "You damn mute, don't you pretend to be innocent every time? Now that I see your eyes, I want to gouge them out for you!"

Jiang Lan panicked and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Mrs. Lu again.

However, Mrs. Lu became even more angry.

Mrs. Lu laughed angrily and said to the servant next to her: "Look, this little goblin usually seduce Jingchi like this, right?"

"As if I have wronged her, tell yourself, if you hadn't had to rely on Jing Chi, would I have locked you up?"

"Jiang Lan, you asked for this, so don't blame me."

Jiang Lan lowered his head and stared at his toes without responding.

Mrs. Lu saw her fingers clinging to the iron bars without giving up, with a vicious look on her face. She suddenly stood up and said, "Seal this door too."

Jiang Lan raised her head suddenly. She looked at Mrs. Lu beseechingly and shook her head desperately.

Madam Lu turned a blind eye. The more she begged for mercy with this look, the more Madam Lu wanted to see her become more desperate, as if this could alleviate the resentment in her heart.

"Sealed!"

Jiang Lan's eyes were red, and she shook the iron rod, wanting to break the iron railing and get out.

But she can't do it.

She could only watch helplessly as the bodyguard brought a wooden board to block the dim light in front of her eyes.

The wooden board got stuck in the cracks of the stone and stuck tightly to the railing. The bodyguard kicked her a few times. Jiang Lan's fingers were caught between the wooden board and the iron railing. The pain caused her eyes to turn black and she fainted several times.

The bodyguard brought a stick and pressed it against the wooden board outside. This ensured that no matter how hard Jiang Lan pushed inside, he could not push the board away.

People standing outside could clearly see that the wooden board was shaking slightly as Jiang Lan was pushing inside.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have much effect.

She couldn't cry out. No matter how much despair and grievance she felt, she could only swallow it in her stomach. She could only rely on this insignificant shaking to express her plea.

But this slight shaking can also make the bodyguard at work feel unbearable. He seems to be able to hear the mute's cry for help and despair under this weak tremor.

Therefore, when Mrs. Lu was not paying attention, the bodyguard slightly opened a corner of the board to let in the light.

Jiang Lan stopped and saw the glimmer of light in the corner, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

The glowing light like a firefly became her only hope in this dark world.

For a moment, she seemed to see Lu Jingchi outside, and he came to save her like before.

He came out of the backlight, opened the door to hell, and brought light to her.

When Mrs. Lu saw the trembling wooden board, she felt agitated, so she turned and left.

She actually wanted to kill Jiang Lan, but she was afraid that Lu Jingchi would find out by then and the relationship was already at a standstill. If they had a complete falling out because of this mute, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

Therefore, we can only lock up the mute first, force Lu Jingchi to get married, and then release the mute.

By then, this mute will no longer have to worry about her.

Jiang Lan sat down against the wall, raised his head and stared at the tiny bit of light, and twitched his lips.

It was indeed an illusion, he didn't come.

The light was still so dim, and she was still in darkness.

She curled up into a ball and buried her head in her knees. The cold basement was chilly to the bone.
