Chapter 1280: A dark figure in a dark room (2)

More importantly, he craved the warmth of the Fu family which was simply different than his own. At least Old Master Fu was a gentle and kind man, with no schemes in his head. Though he and Old Master Fu were not related the man had raised him along with Fu Yu Sheng and the rest.

Everything that Fu Yu Sheng and his siblings had, he had it too. So when his father said that they needed to get along with the Fu family, Ma Yun was really excited. He thought that he could finally mend the broken family relationship, only for his mother and fiancee to ruin everything!

"They simply do not care about what I say or tell them," Ma Yun grumbled. When he got together with Ye Xiyuan, he felt touched and accepted. She could understand him and was even willing to motivate and praise him but now -- Ye Xiyuan had changed. She was just like his mother, thinking about profits and how certain things would benefit her.

To the point that Ma Yun was questioning whether or not he was doing the right thing by marrying her.

Maybe he should think it through again.

Ma Yun pursed his lips and closed his eyes before drifting off to sleep.

Honestly, he was too tired of everything!

Drip. Drop. Drip.

Ma Yun did not know when he fell asleep, however when he woke up he found something dripping on his face. His brows furrowed as he squeezed his eyes that were closed before opening them. There was a hazy mist covering his eyes as he couldn\'t see anything other than a dark figure standing next to his bed.

But the figure alone scared him enough to let out a scream. The figure was dressed in a large white dress, that shimmered in the dark, but this white dress was stained with faded blood spots with new ones. The long hair of the figure flickered behind its back, while the long tongue that was stretched out of its mouth was hovering right over Ma Yun\'s face.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Ma Yun jolted in his bed as he sat up straight.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway before coming to a stop right in front of his door. Madam Ma pushed the door open and behind her was Ye Xiyuan who looked at him with a concerned expression.

"What\'s wrong with you? Why are you screaming while lying in the bed?" Madam Ma questioned him as Ma Yun looked around in the dark room. Even though the dark figure was no longer in his room, he could still feel the sticky feeling on his face!

"There...there was someone inside the room, it was standing right next to my bed and looking at me hungrily." Just the thought alone was enough to send Ma Yun into hyperventilation. His face paled as he looked around the room once again, trying to find the dark figure that was looming over his head, he was certain that he saw it right beside him. How did it vanish and where?

"Ah Yun, I think you were dreaming," Madam Ma thought that her son had seen a nightmare and was yet to wake up. She looked at the dark room that only had a nightlight on and sighed, "This is why I asked you to buy a nightlight that is a bit bright, rather than a dangerous red. Look at your room, it resembles a haunted house than a bedroom. Of course, you will have nightmares!"

Ma Yun on the other hand shook his head. He touched his face and felt the slipper and sticky liquid on his face, the thing that he saw was definitely not a nightmare, it was real and it was right next to him!

If he hadn\'t woken up who knows what would have happened to him. As Ma Yun was too shaken up, he did not see the venomous gaze locked at him from behind.

"What did you say, Grandpa?" Lin Xiaoyue felt like someone had pulled the rug right off from under her feet. "Our company is in danger of bankruptcy? How is that possible?"

Their family was an aristocratic family! The Lin family was more than a hundred years old, so how come the money was gone?

"Do you think that you can use money without earning? All the purchasing that you and your mother do with your father making one loss after another, do you think that I have the money to keep filling up the patches that you make in the family\'s wallet?" Old Master Lin questioned his granddaughter back who turned silent.

Master Lin\'s face turned red in embarrassment. He said to his father, "Dad, I really did not know that this would happen. All of my friends and colleagues said that it was a good business project and yet at the last minute everything went out of control. If I had known then I would have definitely not invested in this project."

"Just help me this one time, I promise that I will not make a mistake again."

Master Lin was at the wits end, he asked the finance department to settle the debt that he had accumulated all of a sudden but they told him that the company\'s finances were tight and that he should have listened when they told him that the project was risky.

Of course, Master Lin had berated the head of the department but no matter what he did, the money was not paid to the people from whom he borrowed, which made him embarrassed and humiliated.
