Chapter 396: Inhuman Treatment

After all, she had lived here for a period of time, so she naturally knew that the woman in front of her named Xie Min was the mistress of this place!

Every time Mother saw her, she would be servile and submissive, and even then, she was still frequently slapped by her!

In Xiaoxue's eyes, this woman was simply a tigress—no, even more terrifying than a tigress!

Xie Min was not alone; behind her followed a large group of bodyguards in suits.

Those bodyguards in suits all looked fierce and malicious, and the one leading them was even bald, looking even more ferocious.

Xie Min glanced sideways at the maid next to her, then asked, "Did that dead girl seem to be banging on the door just now?"

"She said she was hungry and wanted to eat," the maid replied tremblingly.

"Hungry?"

Xie Min was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter: "So she's hungry, that's easy, that's easy."

Afterward, Xie Min beckoned to Xiaoxue and said, "Come, Auntie will take you to get something to eat."

Xiaoxue shook her head repeatedly and said very fearfully, "Auntie, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry at all now."

"I told you to come over, so get over here!" Xie Min scolded.

Xiaoxue still did not go over, so Xie Min flew into a rage.

"You dead girl, you're even more detestable than your mother! Go, grab her and bring her to me!"

At Xie Min's command, the bald bodyguard immediately strode in front of Xiaoxue, grabbed Xiaoxue by the hair, and dragged her in front of Xie Min.

Xiaoxue cried out in pain and struggled continuously, but how could her tiny strength resist this bald bodyguard?

"Take her and follow me!"

Xie Min ordered, then left the room and walked toward the outside.

Xiaoxue was dragged by the bald bodyguard all the way to the backyard, to the front of a doghouse.

Xie Min pointed at the doghouse and said, "It just so happens that the poodle I raised died of illness last month, and this doghouse has been empty. Since you've come, you can live in this doghouse from now on!"

Xiaoxue looked at the doghouse, her face covered in tears.

"I won't live in a doghouse, a doghouse isn't for people to live in, I don't want to..."

Before Xiaoxue could finish her words, the bald bodyguard, under Xie Min's instruction, grabbed the iron chain on the ground and fastened it around Xiaoxue's neck.

"I tell you to live in it, so you must live in it. Here, I have the final say!" Xie Min sneered repeatedly.

Afterward, Xie Min ordered again: "What are you all still standing here for? Didn't you hear her say she was hungry just now? Go get some food for her, and remember, it must match her status!"

Before long, a bodyguard in a suit ran back excitedly, holding a stainless steel basin in his hands.

This stainless steel basin, which looked like a washbasin, was filled with leftovers and scraps; there was no telling when they had been left over, as they were already stinking!

"Look, Madam, I found food that matches her status," the bodyguard said as if asking for credit.

"Not bad, not bad, you are very good at getting things done!"

Xie Min said with a sneer, then ordered: "Go, take this basin of leftovers and serve it to her."

The bald bodyguard took the food basin, placed it in front of the doghouse with a 'thud', and then dragged Xiaoxue over by the iron chain.

Xiaoxue struggled desperately but could not break free; her slender, snow-white neck was scratched with streaks of blood by the iron chain, but she was still dragged by the bald bodyguard to the front of the doghouse, and of course, to the front of that full basin of leftovers and scraps.

"This is the food Madam has bestowed upon you, what are you waiting for, eat!" the bald bodyguard said very fiercely.

"I won't eat it, I won't eat it, this is already rotten..."

Xiaoxue wailed loudly, but the next second, the bald bodyguard grabbed her hair and pressed her face completely into the basin of leftovers and scraps.

Watching Xiaoxue's disheveled appearance, Xie Min laughed loudly, and the surrounding bodyguards all followed suit with jeering laughter.

"Look at her like that, she's simply a dog!" Xie Min said, laughing.

Xiaoxue cried even louder and even knelt on the ground to beg, but even so, Xie Min did not soften her heart; instead, she laughed even more heartily.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Xie Min finally lost her patience.

"Until she finishes this basin of leftovers, she is not allowed any other food, not even water, do you hear me!" Xie Min ordered.

"Yes, we hear you!"

The group of bodyguards answered in unison.

After Xie Min left with these bodyguards, only Xiaoxue was left at the doghouse.

Xiaoxue kept using her hands to wipe the dirty things off her face, crying uncontrollably.

"Uncle, where are you? Xiaoxue is being bullied... Xiaoxue is so scared... Uncle, come quickly and save Xiaoxue..."

Xiaoxue wailed, but no one came to look at her.

By midnight, it began to rain.

Tied by the iron chain, Xiaoxue could go nowhere and had no way to take shelter; in desperation, she could only crawl into the doghouse.

Her stomach began to growl again; Xiaoxue was dizzy with hunger and kept swallowing her saliva.

However, the only thing she could eat was that basin of stinking leftovers and scraps.

After hesitating again and again, Xiaoxue finally dragged the basin of leftovers and scraps into the doghouse bit by bit, while shedding tears.

"This is a chicken leg, this is a hamburger, this is braised pork, this is mapo tofu..."

Xiaoxue kept talking to herself as if she were hypnotizing herself. It was unknown how much time passed before she finally made up her mind, endured the feeling of nausea, and began to eat the leftovers in the basin with her hands.

Heartache and grievance welled up in her heart, and Xiaoxue's tears flowed down once again.

In the hotel, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

For some reason, he suddenly felt flustered and palpitated, as if something bad was about to happen.

"This feeling, what exactly is..."

Lin Feng touched his chest, his brows tightly furrowed.

It was at this moment that a faint 'click' sound came from the doorway.

Lin Feng looked toward the door and immediately saw a small card being slid into the crack of the door.

That small card moved slowly, inching into the door lock; it looked like someone was trying to open the locked door with this small card!

Lin Feng got off the bed without a sound and came to the door, but he did not stop them.

He stood quietly to one side of the door, waiting for a long time until the door was finally opened by the person outside.

Then Lin Feng saw a slim young girl wearing black leather clothing and a face mask, who snuck in and looked around furtively.

"No one? Great!"

The girl said as if talking to herself, looking incredibly excited.

The girl then began rummaging everywhere, searching for valuable items, yet after searching for a long time, she did not find anything of value.

Because the vast majority of items were stored by Lin Feng in his Storage Ring, there were only two or three pieces of clothing he had changed out of in the hotel room.

Moreover, Lin Feng was excessively low-key; the clothes he usually wore were all bought online for nine yuan and nine cents with free shipping, which could be said to be worthless.
