Wu Mingyu's fingernails were caked with dirt.
I frowned and dodged to the side, avoiding the hand she reached out to grab me. "What's wrong with you? Zhou Wei has great news for you! He truly loves you and wants to marry you!"
"What?"
Wu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, looking at me as if she had seen a ghost. "Stop talking nonsense. He drank pesticide and died!"
"We've saved him."
I took out my phone and played a pre - recorded video of Zhou Wei.
Thank goodness I had the foresight, fearing that Wu Mingyu wouldn't believe me.
After watching Zhou Wei's sincere expression of longing for her in the video, a hint of smugness flashed across Wu Mingyu's ghost - pale face.
Then she shivered. "You're both in cahoots to deceive me, aren't you? You want me to leave this room so that that dead woman can claim my life!"
"Why would she want your life?"
I asked in confusion. "It was Zhou Wei who killed his wife. What does it have to do with you?"
"…I! Uh…"
Wu Mingyu was silent for a while, then pointed at the trash on the floor. "Do you know how I've survived these days?"
"…You were also involved in Zhou Wei's business?!"
Looking at her, I could basically confirm the answer without waiting for her reply.
"What does it matter to me?! What does it matter to me?!"
Suddenly, Wu Mingyu exploded in her silence. She screamed at me, "That stupid Zhou Wei didn't want to divide the property with his wife. I just casually suggested that she might as well commit suicide! Who knew that stinking man would actually make his wife drink pesticide? It has nothing to do with me!"
As she spoke, she kicked a lunch box on the table to the ground. "Zhou Wei isn't dead. Why is his wife haunting me?"
It turned out that after her grandmother's death, Wu Mingyu still returned to the Mingmen Shengyan to work.
That was when Zhou Wei came into her sight.
He was a "country bumpkin"!
Wu Mingyu's first impression of Zhou Wei was that he was rustic. Relying on his money, he acted like a big shot at the Mingmen Shengyan.
Her colleagues were too lazy to talk to him. Since Wu Mingyu couldn't meet her monthly liquor sales quota, she forced herself to strike up a conversation with Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei, who was actually an extremely self - abased but arrogant man, felt honored when he found a woman taking the initiative to talk to him.
He spent over 20,000 yuan on liquor from Wu Mingyu in one night.
Wu Mingyu thought she had really met a sucker.
From that day on, this "country bumpkin" named Zhou Wei came every night to buy liquor, becoming a regular customer of Wu Mingyu's.
As they got to know each other better, Wu Mingyu learned that this "country bumpkin" was actually a demolition household from the suburbs of Beijing, with about ten to a hundred million yuan in demolition compensation.
However, Wu Mingyu had never been attracted to Zhou Wei. She had seen so many rich people that Zhou Wei was just a nouveau riche in her eyes. She was only with him for the liquor sales commission.
But Zhou Wei regarded her as his soulmate and constantly complained that his wife was boring... Wu Mingyu got annoyed with his complaints and joked that if he divorced his wife, she would marry him.
Zhou Wei didn't take it as a joke. He went home and started domestic violence every day, waiting for his wife to file for divorce.
However, Zhou Wei's wife said that she could divorce, but she must take half of the family property.
Their child was sick and needed a large amount of money for treatment.
Wu Mingyu took what Zhou Wei said as a joke. She casually asked what disease the child had. Zhou Wei cursed and said it was syphilis.
This really scared Wu Mingyu. It was a dirty disease that, once infected, would be carried for life and could be directly passed on to the next generation.
Zhou Wei asked Wu Mingyu what to do and how to make his wife leave the house without a cent.
Wu Mingyu was scared and annoyed, so she casually said, "Let your wife drink pesticide and die!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei took it seriously.
Two days later, he called Wu Mingyu on WeChat and said that in a couple of days, he would be free!
Wu Mingyu had just had a full - body check - up, and the results were okay.
Although she had gone on a few dates with Zhou Wei, she had some sense of self - protection and hadn't been infected with the virus yet.
She was already tired of Zhou Wei. There were so many rich people spending money at the Mingmen Shengyan every day. She was too lazy to entangle with this "loser". She perfunctorily said a few words and hung up the phone, then went to hook up with other rich customers.
But Zhou Wei came to the place where Wu Mingyu worked to relax. This time, he seemed preoccupied. However, he still ordered liquor to boost Wu Mingyu's sales performance, which made her "colleagues" laugh at her and say, "The twenty - four filial piety sucker is here to give you pocket money again!"
That night, Wu Mingyu always felt something was wrong.
She always felt a pair of angry eyes staring at her from behind, but when she turned around, there was nothing abnormal.
Zhou Wei drank half a bottle of red wine and somehow started acting drunk. He smashed a bottle on Wu Mingyu's head and cursed her as his dead wife!
Wu Mingyu was knocked unconscious on the spot and had a dream.
She dreamed that a woman with blood oozing from all her orifices was looking at her, asking her to go to court with her.
Wu Mingyu woke up in the hospital. Those nosy "colleagues" told her that "the twenty - four filial piety sucker seemed to have gone crazy. He killed someone and was locked up in a mental hospital by the police".
When Wu Mingyu heard this news, she felt relieved.
In this way, she didn't have to say those nauseating words to that "country bumpkin" anymore...
Unexpectedly, although Zhou Wei no longer appeared in Wu Mingyu's life, a more terrifying "person" started to haunt her!
At first, Wu Mingyu would casually catch a glimpse of a white shadow.
When she looked closely, it was gone.
Wu Mingyu always worked late at night. She could always hear footsteps in the alley behind her that didn't belong to her. Later, it developed to someone peeping at her through the small window of her rental house... When Wu Mingyu looked closely, a woman with a blood - covered face actually appeared in her room!
Wu Mingyu thought she was having a nightmare and pinched her thigh desperately to wake up.
But the woman with dark - red tears streaming from her eyes viciously approached her, grabbed her neck, and wanted her to go to the underworld to fight a lawsuit with her!
The cold and eerie touch of the woman's claws and the suffocating feeling of being strangled made Wu Mingyu realize that this was not a nightmare. There really was a ghost!
She was being choked by the ghost woman and pressed to the ground of the rental house. Just when she thought she was about to die, a faint sigh suddenly came from the room. Then, a thin and hunched figure gradually emerged in front of Wu Mingyu...
