Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 85: Didn’t This Woman Know She Already Had Someone?

Chi Shuyan smiled faintly. “Look at how scared you are. Why would a living person need to be scared? That person was just given a fright and his soul left his body. There was a slight problem when it returned to its original location.”

“Then why does he have two faces and two heads?” Lin Haoxing puffed out his cheeks in confusion.

“Did you take a closer look and see that his two faces and two heads are completely the same?” Chi Shuyan smiled faintly and said, “The soul didn’t fuse well, so it looks like a slight overlap. If he was possessed, two different faces would have appeared.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Lin Haoxing patted his chest. “That scared me. I really thought he was a ghost. By the way, Sister, won’t it be bad for him?”

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment and realized that this situation was still a little complicated. The soul hadn’t fused well, so it was easy to see some dirty things that normally couldn’t be seen, or even attract them.

Now was the most vulnerable moment when a person couldn’t receive a shock. If they were frightened a few times, the entire soul or part of it might leave the body. If they were lucky, they might come out of it unscathed.

“Maybe. In the long run, he’ll either turn into a vegetable or an idiot.” Chi Shuyan thought about the cases she knew of where the souls had left the bodies. Too few of them escaped unscathed, so she took the middle ground.

Chi Shuyan finished speaking and was about to take Lin Haoxing’s hand and leave, when the door to the men’s restroom opened with a bang and two men came out.

A man stared furiously at Chi Shuyan and Lin Haoxing, rolled up his sleeves angrily and threatened, “What nonsense are you saying? Don’t think I won’t dare hit you just because you’re a child. You really have no manners. Didn’t your parents teach you what to say and what not to say? Do you like to talk about people behind their backs so much that it’s fun to spread rumors about others?”

Lin Haoxing was frightened by this man’s murderous appearance; he looked like he was going to rush up and hit someone. The boy was timid to begin with, and now, he didn’t dare look at anyone. He shivered and closed his big eyes tightly, and turned around to hug Chi Shuyan’s legs in fear.

Chi Shuyan frowned and patted Lin Haoxing’s back comfortingly. She was puzzled by the man’s excessively aggressive attitude. He wasn’t the host here, so why was he so angry?

Besides, what she said just now was the truth and wasn’t random talk. Even if he didn’t believe it, there was no need for him to get so angry and scare a child.

Chi Shuyan looked at the two who obviously didn’t believe a word she said. She also didn’t want to rush to bring trouble on herself. She had planned to give them a small warning, but it now seemed that it was unnecessary, so she apologized lightly. “Sorry we’ve offended you.”

After apologizing, she held Lin Haoxing’s hand and turned around to leave.

“What kind of attitude is that? No sincerity at all. Kids nowadays are really becoming more and more ill-mannered,” Qian Hongxin complained. Seeing Yang Feiyu staring fixedly at the same spot, Qian Hongxin elbowed Yang Feiyu. “Feiyu, you don’t believe them, do you? Let me tell you, don’t look at these types of kids like they’re harmless; when it comes to fooling people, even adults can’t compare.”

“I know; it’s just that your tone just now seemed too aggressive. After all, it’s just two kids.” Yang Feiyu snapped back to his senses.

“Feiyu, I say, you’re just too kind-hearted. You forgot what happened to me. I sympathized with a beggar on the roadside, and see what happened? That man relied on the sympathy of passersby like us to make a fortune, f*ck. Anyway, in my eyes, all beggars are liars now, especially children.” Qian Hongxin clenched his fists. “If they dare to fool me again, I’ll beat up every single one I see.”

“Hongxin, you…” Before Yang Feiyu could say anything extreme, Qian Hongxin waved his hand first. “Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about this rotten thing. When are you and Xinfang getting married? She’s three months pregnant now. ”

The corners of Yang Feiyu’s mouth went up and his eyes softened. “Should be this month.”

“You have to treat her well. I don’t think Xinfang has any sense of security,” Qian Hongxin suddenly said.

Yang Feiyu nodded seriously and patted Qian Hongxin. “Don’t worry, I’ll treat her well and won’t forget the strings you, the matchmaker, pulled. I’ll give you a big red packet when the time comes.”

“Hey, no need. Xinfang is just like my sister. I’ll be happy as long as you treat her well.”

…

Chi Shuyan led Lin Haoxing out and found that there was no one at her father’s table. She hurriedly grabbed a waitress and asked, “Where did the people at that table go?”

The waitress looked at the table and said, “They left long ago.” She gave Chi Shuyan a strange look.

“Oh, thanks.” Chi Shuyan was all smiles, thinking that her dad must have found the person introduced by her grandma boring. It seemed that he had probably gone home first. She lowered her head and tapped the tip of Lin Haoxing’s nose. “If I knew that it would be over so quickly, I wouldn’t have brought you out. Come on, let’s go and pay the bill.”

Lin Haoxing pursed his lips, somewhat resentful that Chi Shuyan didn’t want to take him with her, but he quickly grasped her legs with sincerity. “Sister, I’ll pay the bill.”

As he spoke, he took off his backpack and fished out a large panda piggy bank.

“You don’t have to. Buy yourself candy with that money.” Saying that, Chi Shuyan was about to put the piggy bank back inside the backpack. When she took it, however, she found that it wasn’t heavy with coins, but felt light as a feather. She promptly took a curious glance inside, and saw dozens of hundred-dollar bills folded into hearts; there were at least several tens of thousands of dollars in here.

Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched. It turned out that this brat hadn’t been exaggerating and was really ‘rich.’

Chi Shuyan sent Lin Haoxing home and called her father on the way. However, when Chi Shuyan found out that Chi Lingyan hadn’t gone home yet and was instead sending the girl home, she was a bit surprised. It had to be known that her father was the kind of person who acted decisively once he made up his mind. If he had no interest in the girl, he definitely wouldn’t send her home.

“Sister, are you unhappy?” Lin Haoxing asked. He felt that something was off with his sister at that moment. It was a bit like… like… Lin Haoxing propped his chin in his hand and racked his brain hard. Who was she like?

Chi Shuyan shook her head. “Maybe I’m thinking too much.” Forget the girl’s looks and family background; just the fact that she was distantly related to Big Aunt meant that this girl would definitely vent her anger on Big Aunt from now on. If she could think of this, so could her father.

Chi Shuyan’s phone rang and she pulled it out to see that it was Qi Zhenbai.

“Hello, Young Master Qi. Did you need something?”

As soon as Qi Zhenbai heard Chi Shuyan’s question, he knitted his eyebrows and was somewhat displeased. It was one thing if this woman didn’t remember to give him a call when she got home, but when he took the initiative to call, she actually thought something was wrong. Couldn’t he call when things were fine? His handsome face instantly sank, and he said nothing for a long while.

When she didn’t hear anyone speaking, Chi Shuyan pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at the name on the screen again, thinking that the signal was bad. “Hey, hey, Young Master Qi, can you hear me?”

“When are you coming back?” After a while, a deep, magnetic male voice rang out.

The words “come back” were used too strangely. It wasn’t like she lived there, and she thought that Qi Zhenbai was inviting her out to have fun. She thus said politely, “We’ll talk about it after the college entrance exam.”

Qi Zhenbai was obviously dissatisfied with Chi Shuyan’s cryptic words. “Let me know when you apply for the evaluation test. Your grades are good, so you should be able to enter Yanjing University.”

“Young Master Qi, you’re putting me under a lot of pressure like this. What if I perform badly?” Chi Shuyan really didn’t know where Qi Zhenbai’s confidence came from. Even if her grades were okay, she might not get into that first-class prestigious university.

“It’s fine. Even if you don’t get into Yanjing University, there are other good universities in the capital.”

Chi Shuyan: “…”?Why do I have to go to a university in the capital?

“Oh, Sister, I get it. Were you jealous when they went on a blind date just now?” Lin Haoxing, who had his chin in his hand on the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Recalling how his mother always looked sour when she saw his dad, he was struck with realization, and shouted loud and clear.

On the other end of the line, Qi Zhenbai heard the clear voice of a child, and caught the words ‘matchmaking’ and ‘jealous’ in particular. He straightened his back, his handsome face turned gloomy, and his phoenix eyes flashed fiercely. Who did this woman have her eye on? Didn’t she know she already had someone?
