"Mama, I'm so cold!"
Held by Mrs. Sun's hand, Sun Wenwen wished she could lean her whole body against her mother.
It was not even five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was still high in the sky, the hottest time of the day.
Mrs. Sun had just been teased by a group of kids and was extremely angry. Now that her daughter was clinging to her, she felt even hotter and more annoyed. She couldn't help but push Sun Wenwen away, then touched her head impatiently. Finding no symptoms of fever or anything, she glared at her daughter and said, "We're going to the star trainee event today. Mama has spent a lot of money on you! If you don't go, all my money will be wasted!"
"… But I'm really cold!"
Sun Wenwen shrank her neck and grabbed her princess dress, complaining aggrievedly, "Mama doesn't love me or care about me at all!"
The Sun family had only this one daughter, who was usually spoiled and domineering. She had never been scolded like this by her mother before, so naturally she pouted and got angry.
"If Mama didn't love you, how could she spend hundreds of thousands on the star training classes for you every term? Wenwen wants to be a big star, right? Then you have to be more diligent!"
While scolding her daughter, Mrs. Sun called her husband, but the phone kept going unanswered, which made her even more impatient.
"… Mama, I'm hungry. Let's eat before going to class!"
Sun Wenwen's face had turned a bit pale. Following behind Mrs. Sun, her teeth were chattering.
"Then... buy a hamburger and eat it in the car on the way."
Mrs. Sun put away her phone irritably and took her daughter towards a hamburger shop on the roadside.
"Hey, give me a big cup of hot water!"
While Mrs. Sun was ordering and paying, Sun Wenwen said to the waiter arrogantly.
The waiter quickly filled a cup of hot water and thoughtfully put a heat - resistant sleeve on it.
Sun Wenwen thought the waiter was being too fussy. She yanked off the heat - resistant sleeve and grabbed the big paper cup in her hand.
The cup was very hot, but it made Sun Wenwen, who was shivering with cold, feel a bit more comfortable.
"Wenwen, let's go!"
Mrs. Sun had already bought the hamburger and was waving at her with the paper bag in her hand.
"What's this?"
Mrs. Sun didn't buy any cold drinks. She thought the drinks in the hamburger shop were unhealthy and not suitable for her daughter's stomach.
"Water. Mama, I'm a bit thirsty."
Sun Wenwen was telling the truth, but she didn't mention that the water was almost at boiling point.
"Don't use this kind of paper cup in the future. There's wax on it, which is bad for your health!"
Since it was free, Mrs. Sun didn't stop her daughter.
The two got in the car and drove all the way to a luxurious business building.
And Si Jiangchen and I were taking Si Tong with us, slowly following Mrs. Sun's car...
I could sense A Xiu's ghostly aura. I knew she must be following Sun Wenwen, but I couldn't see her at all!!
Nor could I contact her... I never captured souls by force. Forcibly detained souls would be full of resentment, just like the little ghosts enslaved in those South - East Asian forbidden arts. They were made to be full of extreme hostility through torture and punishment, and were used to kill people with this terrifying obsession. If one was not careful when using this kind of forbidden art, they would be backlashed. Even if one was lucky enough to live a peaceful life, when their yang energy declined in old age, they couldn't escape the backlash of evil spirits!!
I originally had no intention of raising ghosts.
But due to coincidences, I always got entangled with these ghosts and spirits who were reluctant to leave the world. Raising them wasn't a hassle. It was just three sticks of incense and a few pieces of sacrificial paper, even easier than raising a cat or a dog!
Because of this casual attitude, I couldn't force Wang Yingxiu back into my soul bottle!
"Sister Xiaohe, is Auntie Xiuxiu following Wenwen?"
Si Tong was sitting in the back seat of the car. She watched as Mrs. Sun parked the car in the parking lot with her daughter and then went upstairs one after another.
Si Tong didn't know that the Taoist Su who had killed her "Dongdong" brother was already dead, but she was extremely smart. As soon as she heard me ask if there was anything strange about Sun Wenwen, she immediately understood that Wang Yingxiu wouldn't let it go easily!
"Yes! Although Auntie Xiuxiu has become a fierce ghost, she has never harmed anyone. I don't want her to be unable to be reborn into a good family in the next life because of a few evil villains."
I gently bit my lips. As soon as Si Jiangchen parked the car, I couldn't wait to get out.
"I understand."
Although Si Tong had only been with Wang Yingxiu in the spiritual state for just half a day, she knew that Auntie Xiuxiu was a very gentle elder to them.
Si Tong and I were in a hurry to follow Mrs. Sun and her daughter. This business building was one of the largest business complexes in the capital. It was composed of three semi - elliptical main buildings. There were various high - end office and entertainment institutions inside. I originally thought Mrs. Sun was here for consumption or to visit friends, but unexpectedly she took her daughter directly up the stairs to the ninth floor.
I quickly pulled Si Tong and was about to follow them in a hurry, but I stepped on thin air and almost fell.
"Don't be in a hurry."
Si Jiangchen put his arm around my shoulder from behind and said with a faint smile, "I know where they're going. We can just follow them slowly."
I couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "You know their destination?!"
"The entire ninth floor is the star - making studio of Taoran Media. They're probably going for training classes."
Si Jiangchen pointed to the sign downstairs. Only then did I notice that there were two large posters of familiar people on the sign leading to the stairs. One was Song Yixuan, and the other was Shao Lili, who had participated in the variety live - broadcast program with me and was sent to the hospital!
"… Why is Song Yixuan here too?!"
I turned my head in surprise. On the life - sized poster, the peacock - like man was still winking at us. One couldn't tell at all that he was a guy who would never be able to leave his wheelchair for the rest of his life!!
However, a chill ran through my heart again and again.
Was this a coincidence?! Why were Mrs. Sun and her daughter here?
And Wang Yingxiu hated Song Yixuan to the bone!
I couldn't imagine what would happen if A Xiu met Song Yixuan again. Would she give up her original plan?!
She had planned to have a ghost marriage with Song Yixuan and pester him for a lifetime.
Although I would always persuade A Xiu to let go of her obsession and be reborn so as not to entangle with such a man whenever I offered incense and sacrifices, she never responded to me. During this period, in order to take care of the four poor little ghosts, she hadn't mentioned asking me to arrange a ghost marriage for her...
I prayed in my heart that the scumbag Song Yixuan would never appear here. It wasn't that I was concerned about his disabled life. I was just afraid that Wang Yingxiu would ruin her good fortune and shorten her after - life for such an unworthy man!!
