137 Chu Lian’s screams

Chu Lian was sleeping peacefully on her bed when she was woken up by the sunlight flickering through the window, her eyebrows scrunched up and her lips curved up into an annoyed sneer. She was too tired after all, last night she had to act as a good wife and had to see her husband off, and now this —— she turned around and faced the other side of the bed hoping that it will diminish the blinding light effect on her face but unexpectedly, today the sun was shining as brighter as ever and she couldn't ignore the way her bedroom lit up.

She started patting her bed trying to find the remote to switch on the blinding to block the sunlight when he hand fell on something rough and scrapped. Chu Lian frowned as she carefully examined the thing and was surprised to find that it was a human hand, smiling she patted the hand and shyly said, " Umm, so you missed me so much huh, darling that you came two days earlier? You are too sweet."

Then she lovingly caressed the hand and added with a slight grimace. " You must have been skipping on moisturiser again aren't you, you shouldn't do that, just look how rough your skin has gotten, Brother Song." When she didn't hear a response, Chu Lian thought that her Brother Song was asleep, so she smiled and tucked in closer before tugging his hand over her waist, as a mistress, she knew all the tactics to make a man's desire flare up for her. With her skills, she can make any man let loose ——huh?

She was thinking about making her Brother Song's desire let loose, how come his hand was the one that became—— loose? Stunned, she opened her eyes and came face to face with a dried, shrivel-up corpse whose eyes were missing and his mouth was opened in a silent scream, with her heart thudding against her chest, she looked down and what she saw made her almost pass out again.

Because in her hand she was holding the ripped-out arm of the corpse!

Screaming in terror, she threw the arm away and scampered back, falling on her butt as she did that. However, at the moment Chu Lian couldn't care less about anything or anyone, all she knew was that she was hugging a corpse and maybe slept with it for an entire night.

Bile rose in her mouth as she flailed her hands and rushed to the bathroom where she washed her hand over and over again while vomiting whatever that she had in her stomach. A corpse, she slept with a corpse!

Chu Lian's scream wasn't small at all, Song Lan who was sleeping in her room peacefully was startled as she jumped out of the bed. When she realised what was happening, a disgruntled glint flashed in her eyes. Seriously? She worked the entire week and finally got a chance to take a break yet her mother screamed so loud that the drums of her ears started to ring and she even disturbed her sleep! What the hell?

Annoyed, she got off her bed and then without looking at the mirror strode out of the room.

"Mom! What's the matter with you? Why are you screaming like that? Are you out of your mind?" Song Lan who marched inside her mother's room full of rage didn't notice the black and rotting corpse on the bed, instead, all her attention was on her mother who was washing her hand until they turned red, seeing how intensely her mother was washing her hands, Song Lan's frown deepened. " What are doing, you will start bleeding?"

Chu Lian was so engrossed in washing her hands that she didn't hear a thing that Song Lan said, who got extremely annoyed by how her mother was ignoring her. She was the one who woke her up and now she was ignoring her? What did she mean by this? Song Lan raised her hand and patted Chu Lian's shoulder causing the latter to look up and look over her shoulder.

Chu Lian who already received the scare of her life early in the morning jumped after seeing Song Lan's face and shrieked, " Ahhh! A monster! Help me! Help me!"

Scared worse than a scaredy-cat, Chu Lian started flailing her hands, as she hit Song Lan left and right—— front and down. " Get away from me, Get away from me!"

"Mom! Mommm! MOM!" Song Lan who was beaten by her mother clasped her wrists and strapped her hand to her sides and looked at her mother in disbelief and anger. But because she was shocked after seeing her mother acting up like this Song Lan was too surprised to stay angry at her mother. " What's the matter with you? I am Song Lan! Your Lan'er!"

Only then did Chu Lian woke up from her daze and stopped struggling, she looked at the woman in front of her and carefully studied her face and sure enough the woman standing in front of her was her daughter, Chu Lian was shocked as she cupped her daughter's face and turned it left and right with her eyes shaking in incredulity. " Lan'er? How…How did this happen to you?"

Song Lan pulled a long face as she wrenched her face out of her mother's clutches and asked in a huff. " What happened to me? Aren't I alright? It's you, you are the one who is screaming and yelling like a banshee early in the morning. What's the matter with you?"

Chu Lian shook her head as she dragged Song Lan to the mirror in the en suite bathroom, the latter looked at her in distaste as she tried to get rid of her hold. " What are you doing——"

" This … I am asking you, how did this happen?" Chu Lian pushed Song Lan in front of the mirror and pointed at her face. Song Lan followed her direction and looked up in the mirror with a scowl.

And then two seconds later another scream resonated in the Song mansion.
