Rat Brother, who always said "I don't understand but I'll do it anyway", bought ten pounds of joss paper in a daze and started burning it in front of the apartment gate.
The big zombie ghost, who had been half - believing and half - doubting, suddenly felt a huge surge of energy flooding his whole body. He took out his underworld phone and saw that his balance was skyrocketing at a multiple rate.
He suddenly grabbed Jiang Shang's arm and danced with excitement. "Ah! Tell the guy outside to burn the paper faster!!"
Jiang Shang raised her eyebrows at Gu Siheng. Her delicate and pretty face was full of smugness.
Jiang Shang's crazy move once again refreshed Gu Siheng's perception. Sure enough, there was no problem in this world that money couldn't solve.
Outside, Rat Brother was still burning the joss paper like an unlucky fool. The big zombie ghost was so impressed that he knelt down in front of Jiang Shang.
"Sis, you're my one and only sis!"
The big zombie ghost eagerly wanted to massage her shoulders, but was pushed away by Gu Siheng. He had to turn to serve his second big spender, but his eyes were always on Jiang Shang.
"Dear sis, what do you want me to do? I'll do anything for you even if it means sacrificing my life!"
"After I'm done, you take your minions to the training center and have a good 'play' with those unscrupulous businessmen."
Jiang Shang pointed at his minions. Those villains who had harmed the girls should be punished as they deserved.
As for Tang Xuan, she would make him voluntarily spit out all his illegal assets.
"Sure thing, sis! I'll do a great job, guaranteed five - star praise!"
The big zombie ghost was willing to assist Jiang Shang in collecting evidence. He even wished he could strip Tang Xuan's underwear off and give it to her.
After getting all the evidence of Tang Xuan's harm and domestic violence against Qu Yan, Jiang Shang handed all the evidence to Gu Siheng and asked him to hand it over to the police for filing a case.
Two days later, the intimate photos of Tang Xuan and Lin Jingru went viral on the Internet. Lin Jingru became the target of public criticism.
Lin Jingru was terminated by several brand partners, and her career was on the verge of collapse. Tang Xuan became even more restless.
Tang Xuan paced anxiously in the room. Lin Jingru had been slow to transfer the money, and without seeing any results, his business partners had scolded him mercilessly.
He kept dialing Lin Jingru's phone, but it was always busy. After the 38th attempt, her phone finally connected.
As soon as the call was answered, Lin Jingru's sobbing came through.
"Woohoo... Xuanxuan, they've all terminated their contracts with me. What about my career..."
Tang Xuan casually comforted her. Who cared about her career? He was more concerned about whether he could get his one - million yuan!
Lin Jingru cried so pitifully that Tang Xuan got more and more annoyed. Just when he was about to lose his gentle - boyfriend persona, Lin Jingru suddenly changed the topic.
"Xuanxuan, I don't want to be a celebrity anymore. It's too tiring. I want to get married."
Tang Xuan's eyebrows twitched violently. This woman was really pushing her luck. She wanted to marry him without giving him anything.
In her dreams!
Lin Jingru swallowed her sobs. "My grandpa has a mountain villa in Linqing District. Will you go with me to meet my grandpa? If we get his approval, that mountain villa will be our wedding home."
Hearing the word "villa", Tang Xuan's eyes instantly lit up, and his whole attitude did a 180 - degree turn.
"Ruru, what's your grandpa's background?"
"My grandpa was a businessman when he was young, and now he has several companies to support him in his old age. He's very good to me and has been urging me to choose a good husband and get married over the years." Lin Jingru explained.
Hearing this, Tang Xuan was even more glad that he hadn't let go of her back then. He didn't expect that he had hooked a rich young lady who was just playing around in the entertainment industry.
There was no way Tang Xuan would refuse. "Of course, Ruru. When shall we go to meet your grandpa?"
Lin Jingru replied firmly, "Tomorrow."
Tang Xuan was a bit embarrassed. "Is it that urgent? Do I need to prepare well?"
The corner of Lin Jingru's lips curled up as she comforted him. "My grandpa is not a rigid person. You just need to 'show up'."
Tang Xuan finally relaxed and began to daydream about his wonderful life after getting the huge sum of money.
Early the next morning, Tang Xuan drove to pick up Lin Jingru. Jiang Shang watched them leave for the villa and then snapped her fingers at Qu Yan, who was sitting on the car window eating snacks.
"It's time to start."
A suppressed excitement curled up at the corner of Qu Yan's mouth. She summoned the little ghosts around and they all set off for the villa together.
They were all Lin Jingru's relatives and friends, so of course they were going to "welcome" Tang Xuan properly.
It took a few hours to drive from the city to the villa. After a tiring morning on the road, they arrived near evening.
Looking at the villa that was as tall as half a mountain, Tang Xuan could hardly contain his excitement.
That huge villa would be his soon!
Lin Jingru pushed open the villa's main door. It was quiet inside, empty.
Tang Xuan was a bit puzzled. "Where's your grandpa?"
Lin Jingru looked down at her phone, coordinating with Jiang Shang. "My grandpa has gone out. He said he'll be back soon and told us to have dinner first."
There were delicious dishes on the long table. Hunger made Tang Xuan put down his guard for the time being.
Tang Xuan feasted on the food while Lin Jingru chatted with him off and on to distract him.
As he ate, Tang Xuan felt his vision getting blurrier and the world spinning.
"Ruru, why do I feel so sleepy after eating this...?"
His limbs were getting weaker and weaker. Tang Xuan realized something was wrong. When he tried to stand up, his vision went black and he fainted.
Before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw Mengmeng's face on Lin Jingru's.
Lin Jingru got up and walked to his side. She gently patted the back of his head, and the overwhelming hatred in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
"Go to sleep. Before long, my Mengmeng will come to find you."
Maybe it was the side - effect of the drug, but Tang Xuan didn't sleep well. He seemed to be haunted by a nightmare. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't break free.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Tang Xuan suddenly sat up straight, gasping for breath. He patted his chest as if he had survived a disaster.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Thinking of Mengmeng in the red dress in his dream, he cursed in a low voice, "Damn woman."
He turned to look out of the window. He didn't know what time it was. The sky had turned black, and there were a few flashes of lightning in the night sky.
Lin Jingru wasn't by his side.
He sat up and looked at the huge and empty bedroom. Memories slowly came back, but he couldn't remember what had happened during dinner.
The bedroom door was half - open. Suddenly, a red ghostly figure flashed by, overlapping with Mengmeng's figure in his dream.
The figure flashed by very quickly. The woman's ankles were hanging in the air. It seemed that she didn't walk but floated.
"Damn it!"
Tang Xuan was so scared that his hair stood on end. He quickly called out for Lin Jingru, but his cries echoed through the whole villa.
Tang Xuan finally realized that there was something strange about this villa. But thinking of his one - million yuan, he resisted the urge to leave and took out his phone to call Lin Jingru.
The beeping sound echoed in the bedroom. The red ghostly figure outside the door was getting closer and closer.
Tang Xuan swallowed hard. Just when he was in a state of extreme anxiety, Lin Jingru finally answered the phone.
"Ruru, where are you?"
"I'm outside."
Tang Xuan's hands were cold. He curled up into a ball, and his voice got weaker and weaker. "When will you come back? And when will your grandpa arrive? There seems to be something evil in the villa..."
"Grandpa?"
There was a hint of confusion in Lin Jingru's voice, and her words scared the wits out of Tang Xuan.
"My grandpa died three years ago."
