CHAPTER 479: 479: XUE TONG... YOUR UNCLE

One kilometer away from the old mansion.

The red sports car broke down, temporarily ending its short-lived life.

Due to the aftereffects of her headache, Xia Xi’s body was still in a weakened state, as if about to fall apart, without much strength.

Throughout the journey, she had her arm draped over Gu Tong’s shoulder, maintaining a brotherly posture.

Of course, she wasn’t entirely without utility.

The fragmented memories served as a natural guide, pointing the direction ahead—it’s the most natural navigation system.

Not knowing how long they had walked, they finally reached the gate of the old mansion.

Gu Tong pushed the door open with one hand, then stepped inside the Gong Family’s old mansion, but a scream erupted from behind her!

Normally,

Gu Tong would have immediately turned around to defend against an attack.

However, she showed no reaction just now.

Instead, she strode determinedly deeper into the mansion!

The screams behind her intensified, even accompanied by curses, saying, "Xue Tong... you bastard!!! You ungrateful wretch, throwing me aside after using me up..."

Damn! Do you have to be this ruthless...?

All used up??

Squeezed dry??

And then just discarded??

She’s no longer your little darling, a bit too pitiful and cruel...

Xia Xi, with a dejected face, staggered to her feet from the ground, her face full of resentment.

Inside, she cursed Gu Tong madly, this heartless fellow.

Clearly, Gu Tong paid no heed to her.

Instead, she wandered around inside the old mansion.

The mansion was like a villa, yet it was of traditional Chinese design, with many decorations resembling the styles from the Republic of China era.

Even the carvings on the railings bore the popular patterns of the time.

Gu Tong, with great interest, studied the decoration design, and despite this superficial study, she was able to discern clarity!

Her deep eyes surveyed the surroundings, finally fixing her gaze on the scene at the entrance.

It was a painting of a middle-aged man holding a child, and it was clear that this painting was of a realistic style.

Because the composition was too detailed, it would be difficult to complete without a real-life reference.

"Is this the Gong Family’s ancestor?"

Gu Tong raised her eyebrows.

Logically speaking, only the ancestor’s portrait would be hung in the old mansion.

No one else would have the qualification!

Xia Xi had just arrived, and her eyes were also drawn to the painting.

At the moment her pupils met the painting, she felt a double image appear before her eyes.

She became dizzy, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Gu Tong, quick-eyed and nimble, supported her waist!

Her brows furrowed tightly as she asked nervously, "Feeling unwell again?"

Throwing Xia Xi away previously and now being concerned for her were two separate matters!

The former could only have happened when assured of the other’s wellness.

"It’s that terrifying sense of familiarity again..."

Xia Xi shook her head desperately, the splitting headache gradually dissipating...

Fragmentary images floated in her mind.

She hesitated, saying, "This person... seems like an old gentleman... someone absolutely important to Gong Chenli... but why he is important, I can’t remember at all..."

Gong Chenli was the most important person in Xia Xi’s life.

She would never joke about matters concerning him...

Gu Tong clearly understood this, her brows knitting as she tentatively asked, "Without causing your head to throb painfully... can you recall anything else?"

She wanted to uncover more clues, but was also mindful of Xia Xi’s physical condition.

Xia Xi clutched her head, shaking it desperately, her face towards the door, her pupils contracting slightly as she said, "Outside... there should be... a swimming pool..."

With that, she forced herself to stand up and bolted outside...
