Chapter 144
Only then did Lu Lanzhi reacted and even followed suit, “Yes, yes, that’s right, I’m just here to see the view.”
The old lady gave her a suspicious glance, “Yes?Why do I think you’re lying?”
Lucian: “…”
After all, it was her own daughter, the old lady knew her temperament, and one look at her reaction and she knew she wasn’t telling the truth.
She sneered, “Lanzhi, did you go looking for Biden his daughter-in-law?”
Lucian stalled, subconsciously trying to deny it.
But the old lady suddenly interrupted her, “Okay, it’s okay if you don’t tell me the truth, anyway, I’ve seen Biden his daughter-in-law, she’s a very good child, I like her very much, so you’re not allowed to get involved in them anymore, and you’re not allowed to trip them up, do you understand?”
Lu Lange was furious at the news.
“Mom, how can you say that?What do you mean by “tripping”?Do you know what kind of person that woman is?”
“Of course I know!”
Jenny is a kind and good girl!
Not only is she caring, but she also respects the elderly, and she’s seen it all in the last two days!
“Mom, if you know, why did you agree to her being with Biden?You don’t even know what people are saying about her out there!To have such a woman marry into the Lu family is simply a disgrace to the Lu family!”
“Enough!”
The old lady suddenly got angry, “Empty words, I don’t care what people say?I only believe what I saw with my own eyes, and you!Come back to Kyoto with me right away, don’t stay here and cause any more trouble, and if you refuse to go back, don’t come back at all!”
“Mom…”
“Okay, let’s go!”
After the old lady said that, she exhaled and left with Ann.
Lu Lanzhi was so angry at the sight that she almost vomited blood.
“Xuefei, do you think my mum she was under some kind of compulsion by that woman?Why do you trust her so much?”
Guan Xuefei dropped her eyes slightly, the fingers placed at her side clenched darkly, and for a moment, smiled.
“The old lady is devoted to goodness, so it’s normal to see everyone as good, Aunt Lu, you don’t have to be too angry.”
Lucian rubbed his forehead, only to feel angry that his brain hurt.
“Alright, alright, you don’t need to comfort me anymore, I knew that in the old lady’s eyes, everyone is more important than me, it’s ridiculous that a little girl piece who hasn’t even officially passed away can coax her into believing so much!”
Guan Xuefei asked gently, “So what do we do now?”
Lucian gave her a look.
“What else can I do?The old lady has given the word. Of course we’re going back to Kyoto!It’s hard to believe that I’m really not going to enter the Lu family ever again!”
Lu Lanzhi took Guan Xuefei back to Kyoto.
And on the other side, the Jing family was in trouble again!
This time, it was in the middle of the night.
Not long after Clara had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard a woman’s cry outside the window.
The cry, whimpering, was like the mournful cry of some small animal in the night.
She snapped awake and opened her eyes wide, looking towards the window in the darkness, even as her nerves tensed.
The curtains moved, and something, raising a corner of the curtain, danced in the air, like the outline of a woman.
And the outline drifted leisurely toward her, like a black, sharp claw reaching out to try to choke her.
“Ah-!”
Screaming in terror, Kyo lifted the blanket and ran outside.
“What’s wrong?What’s going on?”
The room where Clara was staying was on the first floor, next to Yu Xiu Lian and Kevin Jing’s bedroom, and when she heard the screams, she immediately ran out in her clothes to ask questions.
I saw Clara wearing only a thin nightgown and a cape, shaking with fear as she stared in the direction of the corner of the room.
“She’s here!She’s here!”
“Who?”
Everyone was in a fog, and some of the servants who heard the noise and ran over, saw the scene and showed a puzzled look.
“What’s going on with Second Miss?”
“Who’s here?”
Clara paled, fiercely grabbed Yu Xiulian’s wrist and stared at her pupils, trembling, “Mom, it’s her back!She’s come back to claim my life!”
Yu Xiu Lian’s face changed at the words.
Kevin Jing snapped harshly, “What are you babbling about?Who’s back in the middle of the night?”
Yu Xiu Lian gave him a stern look, surrounded by the blank and gossipy eyes of the servants, Kevin Jing seemed to realize something, and his face changed slightly.
Just then, a harsh, old voice came from behind him.
“What are you guys arguing about in the middle of the night?”
Someone helped Kelly Wang to come up, Kevin Jing saw the situation and said, “It’s Clara, it seems that something dirty has entered her room, and she ran out in fear just now.”
When Clara saw Kelly Wang, it was like a drowning person seeing a straw that saved his life, and he ran over.
“Grandma, help me, she’s coming!She’s come to claim my life!”
Kelly Wang darkened her face and swept around with a stern gaze, saying coldly, “What’s the claiming of life or not?If I don’t do evil deeds, I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking at my door, I’d like to see who dares to play God in front of me today!”
Afterwards, he brought a group of people into the room.
In the beautifully and luxuriously decorated bedroom, everything was as it should be, the lights were on, and there was nothing unusual at all except for the bed, which was slightly messy, showing signs that someone had been lying on it.
“Where’s she the one?”
“The window there!”
Clara grabbed Kelly Wang’s arm, the whole person trembled and pointed her finger towards the window.
“Right over there, I heard her, she was crying, and she reached out and tried to choke me, I saw it all.”
Kelly Wang frowned tightly.
Next to her, Yu Xiu Lian instructed the two maids, “You guys go over and take a look.”
“Yes.”
The maid walked over, pulled the curtains open, and inspected them again, inside and out, including the outside balcony.
“Old lady, sir, ma’am, second lady, this side has been checked, no one.”
Kelly Wang turned to look at Clara.
Clara stood there dumbfounded, his face full of incredulity.
“No way, I clearly heard voices, and I saw her reach out to me…”
“Could it be that you’ve been so tired lately that you’re hallucinating?”
Kelly Wang was still very distressed about this granddaughter, especially recently, she had been victimized by Jenny and had no one to take care of her child, but also had to stay at home to avoid scandal, so she must have been under a lot of pressure.
So, even if she got upset like that in the middle of the night, she didn’t get angry.
Clara shook her head, “But, but I clearly saw it!”
In the meantime, Yu Xiu Lian looked over to the window and ordered the lights to be turned off for a moment.
“Mom, why did you tell them to turn off the lights?”
“The hand, isn’t that.”
Yu Xiu Lian instructed her to look in the direction of the window, and in the next second, Clara screamed.
Chapter 145
“Ah-!Don’t come any closer!”
All the lights in the room swished on.
Clara’s entire body hid in Kelly Wang’s embrace, Kelly Wang patted her back gently and sighed.
“This child, I really take it for what it is, look carefully, that’s a curtain, you yourself sleep at night without closing the window, the wind outside blows in and blows the curtain up.The hand you’re talking about is nothing more than a saiman.”
The old lady said, showing her how to see for herself.
Clara took a serious look at it for a while, and that’s when she realized that the ghostly figure she had been mistaken for was really just Saiman.
She was heavily relieved by this.
“Is it really me that’s seeing things?”
“It should be that you’ve been under too much stress lately.”
In fact, in the middle of the night, frightened by a curtain, but also woke up everyone in the family, Kelly Wang is also quite speechless.
But looking at Clara’s pale face, she couldn’t be too harsh.
Just patted her hand, “Okay, don’t think about anything, there’s nothing there, get some rest.”
I said, and left with a group of people.
Clara stood in place and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t.
Yu Xiu Lian looked at her and gave her a reassuring look before leaving.
On the corridor, Kelly Wang paused and asked Yu Xiu Lian, “How is Clara’s contact with the people in Kyoto?”
Yu Xiu Lian respectfully replied, “It’s been tested, and there hasn’t been a definitive reply from there yet, but the things have been confirmed to be true and correct, so I’m sure a reply will be given recently.”
Kelly Wang frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied.
Yu Xiulian said evenly, “After all, it’s been missing for over twenty years, it’s normal for them to be cautious, a gentry family like that would want to make sure that if they were really sure that Clara was his family’s bloodline, they wouldn’t let it go.”
Only then did Kelly Wang snorted heavily.
“This matter concerns the entire Jing family, and we must not make any mistakes.Clara’s future, and the Jing family’s future, can all depend on this matter, you must be careful only.”
Yu Xiulian agreed, “I know, Mom.”
Kelly Wang didn’t say anything else and led the man away.
Yu Xiu Lian looked in the direction the old lady had left and breathed a sigh of relief.
King came up from behind and snorted heavily.
“It was me who had a hard time climbing up to that woman surnamed Mo to earn the current family fortune for the Jing family, but she’s good, she actually wants to give all this family fortune to that brat and doesn’t take me seriously in the slightest, it’s abominable!”
Yu Xiu Lian lightly lifted her lips.
“What’s a King family?”She dropped her eyes slightly, a calculating smile curving her lips.
“If this matter is really successful, then we Clara are flying up the branch to be a phoenix, then not to mention the Jing family, even if he Hua family Mu family, he will kneel down and befriend us, Kevin, we have to look at the long term, always care about the small profit of the rope in front of us, it will not have a good result.”
Kevin Jing’s eyes lit up at the words.
“You’re right, we’ve got to succeed in this thing!Never let anything go wrong!”
The two of them smugly returned to the bedroom, but just then, Yu Xiu Lian was suddenly on her feet.
“What’s this?”
On the bedside of the bedroom, there was a delicate white gift box with a pink ribbon tied with a bow on top, obviously placed there by someone deliberately.
“Tsunade, did you put this there?”
Yu Xiu Lian thought it was a gift from Kevin Jing and wanted to give her a surprise, so she asked with great joy.
However, King’s frowned.
“I didn’t put it there.”
I said, looking suspiciously at Yu Xiu Lian.
Yu Xiulian’s face turned pale.
“What do you mean by that look?It’s just you and me in this room, so if it’s not you and it’s not me, can it still be a ghost?”
As soon as this was said, both of them felt an eerie coldness coming from all around.
They both turned slightly pale and somehow had a slight creepy feeling, but in the end, it was Kevin Jing who cleared his throat.
“Come on, open it up and we’ll see who it is, won’t we?Why are you being suspicious?”
Yu Xiu Lian felt the same, so she stepped forward and opened the box.
There was no precious gift in the box, and what lay quietly inside was nothing more than a piece of worn and painted metal and a note.
Yu Xiulian frowned and picked up the note.
In the next second, the face changed dramatically.
“Ah-!”
With a short shriek, she stepped back and slammed the note in her hand on the bed.
“What’s wrong?What’s written?”
Kevin Jing curiously picked it up and looked at it, and when he read the writing on it, he also changed colour abruptly.
The sky-blue note of convenience was written in small, jazzy letters.
–I’m back!
“It’s her, she’s back!It’s her unjust spirit that has come to seek revenge on us!”
Yu Xiulian was so frightened that Kevin Jing sank into his face and fiercely held the note in his hand, then his eyes fell on the aluminum skin in the box.
It was a piece of aluminum metal that had lost its paint after heavy rubbing, and it wasn’t hard for even the layman to see that it should have been from one of the cars.
“I don’t believe it!What the hell!These gods and spirits, I’m not afraid of people alive, am I still afraid of them dead?”
Yu Xiulian listened to his words and calmed down slightly.
“But, but what’s with all this stuff?”
“Well, someone must have put it here on purpose just to scare us!”
He said, picking up the contents of the box and walking out.
Just then, there was another shrill scream from the corner of the corridor.
It was Kyung Sia’s room.
Their faces changed and they both walked over to that room in unison.
Before she reached the door, she saw Clara escape again with a hasty face, this time her entire body was practically trembling and her face was filled with tears.
As soon as they saw Yu Xiu Lian and Kevin Jing, they immediately pounced over like they were grasping at straws.
“Mom!”
Yu Xiulian was busy catching her, Clara hugged her and cried, “Mom, I heard that woman’s voice again, it’s so scary, this time it’s real, it’s not my hallucination, she’s really back!”
If it had been placed just now, Yu Xiu Lian might not have believed her words.
But now, having experienced something so bizarre himself, he naturally believed Clara’s words a little more.
“Don’t be afraid, Mom will go in with you.”
“But…”
Clara was still a little scared and Kevin Jing snapped harshly, “Scared of what?If there are so many ghosts, how can I eat you?Follow me in!”
I said, leading the way into her room.
Everything was still the same in the room.
Both the lighting and the furnishings in the room were exactly as they had been when we had just gone out.
There was nothing unusual about it except that the bed was even more messy from panic leaving.
With a sunken face, King went to the floor-to-ceiling window and inspected the curtains again carefully.
Chapter 146
The curtains were still fine too, including the outside balcony, which wasn’t anything more than some flowers and plants.
To be circumspect, King even sent someone over the balcony railing to look outside, so there was no one hiding underneath.
It seems obvious that there shouldn’t be anything more than that.
Clara saw this and also felt incredulous.
“How is that possible?I plainly heard the woman crying the whole time, crying so miserably that it was as if someone was choking her.How, how can there be no one?”
She walked to the balcony in a daze, examining the front and back in a panic.
But the fact is that in such a not-so-large space, it would have been impossible to hide a person who would have been discovered long ago.
“Is it… really a ghost…”
“What the hell not?I never believed in any of this!”
King launched into a rage and pulled the curtains hard, but just then, a small black object suddenly fell from overhead.
Then there was a whimpering and weeping all around.
Everyone was stunned.
Almost petrified there.
The crowd looked at the tiny thing lying on the ground, and it took a long time for them to realize that it was the same thing that had been crying.
Yu Xiulian bent over to pick up the object, only to see that it was an ultra-small mini-recorder.
Someone should have recorded the sound before and set it to play on a regular basis, which was why Clara heard the cries of the woman inside from time to time.
“Insolent!”
She slammed the thing down on the floor, looking incredibly ugly.
“Who the hell is that?How dare you put something like this in Second Miss’s room?”
The maids who followed in at the back, seeing this, were all scared white.
Not even bothering to shake their heads and deny that they did it.
Kevin looked at Clara with a gloomy face.
“Who’s been in your room today?”
Clara was also a bit confused, and shook her head after thinking for a while.
“Too many for me to remember.”
For a whole day, there were not five or six but three or four maids coming in and out of her room, and who knew who was causing the trouble?
“Heh!Is that so?Then call the police!Bring people in for interrogation and they will always find out.”
Immediately someone started begging for mercy.
“Sir, it really wasn’t me, I didn’t do anything like that.”
“Yes, we have no quarrel with the lady, so why would we do such a thing?It’s not good for us!”
However, where would King Tsunade listen to them?
“Alright, that’s the way it is, don’t worry, if you really didn’t do it, naturally you won’t pursue it, if I find out that there was indeed a mole in the family…”
He stared at some of the men with a dark gaze and smirked, “Heh!Then don’t blame me for being rude!”
After saying that, he directly asked people to first control the few servants who had been in and out of Clara’s room, then called the police when it was morning, and left.
Land Park.
The bedroom was quiet and the phone placed on the bedside table suddenly buzzed and vibrated twice.
Jenny opened her eyes, her slender body was held tightly in the man’s arms, a strong arm was placed on her, and the man’s nice, crisp aroma could be clearly smelled in the darkness.
She gently lifted her hand and took the man’s hand to lift his arm up, which she leaned over to get the phone.
All I saw was an anonymous text message on it, and it was simple.
“When you’re done, remember to get your money in on time.”
Jenny curled his lips and smiled, not returning the
After deleting the text message, the phone was put back in place.
Behind her, the man made a slight noise, followed by a strong arm reaching out and easily fishing her back into his arms.
“What’s wrong?”
The man did not open his eyes, and his voice was languidly sleepy.
Jenny laughed and said softly, “Nothing, sales message, just woken up.”
In the darkness, Biden Lu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.
The house wasn’t entirely devoid of a little light; Jenny didn’t like too much darkness, so one corner of the bedroom would always remain a small orange floor lamp, giving off a warm glow in the darkness.
He looked at the beautiful and clear-faced woman in his arms and suddenly smiled.
“It’s so late but you can’t sleep, so you seem to want some exercise?”
Jenny was startled, and in the next second, sensing the intent of the large hand placed at his waist, he immediately tensed up.
“Biden Lu, stop it!”
“You weren’t able to sleep?It’s easy to fall asleep when you’re tired of doing it.”
“Biden Lu!Well…”
……..
Four days later, Evelin’s scenes in Hidden River Fang Hua Lu were all killed off.
Jenny let her go straight into the set of Chasing the Wind.
Yim Sihua and Lu Yanzhi are also good friends, and although Chasing the Wind is directed by Yim Sihua, the producer and investor behind it is also Lu Yanzhi.
Jenny had been curious about the relationship between Lu Yanzhi and Biden Lu, as she had seen Lu Yanzhi appear in Biden Lu’s office more than once.
It’s fine if it’s because of business, but it’s off to chat again.
No one knew better than her how valuable Biden Lu’s time was, so she was even more curious as to what kind of relationship Biden Lu had with this man that would keep him here.
Until one day, Lu Yanzhi secretly mentions a gift to the PR department and says he wants to see her about something.
After Jenny went out, Lu Yanzhi opened his mouth directly, “Fourth aunt, I’m really sorry, before I had eyes, I didn’t know your relationship with my fourth uncle, please forgive me if I’ve offended.”
Jenny stared at him, looking like he had seen a ghost.
“What did you call me?”
“O Fourth Aunt!”
Jenny sucked in a breath of cold air.
Lu Yanzhi saw the situation and knew that she was the one who had misunderstood, so she was busy explaining, “It’s like this, I’m actually a member of the Kyoto Lu family, but I’m a side branch, and the relationship is quite distant, so most people don’t know, and according to my generation, I’m going to call Lu a fourth uncle, so of course you’re a fourth aunt.”
Jenny couldn’t put on a normal smile anymore.
“So…that’s how it is, so you know about our relationship too?”
“Know know know, now.”
Lu Yangyi’s look of celebration and post-horror made Jenny almost think that he hadn’t done something wrong to himself.
“Fourth Aunt, this is my little token of appreciation, please accept it.”
He said, handing the gift box forward.
Jenny took a step back.
Fox looked at him suspiciously.
“C’mon, don’t call me by my fourth aunt either, it sounds awkward, let’s call me by my first name.”
Lu Yanzhi didn’t insist, but he smiled and said “eh”.
Jenny pointed at the gift box in his hand, “No merit, you’d better take this back!”
She said, stepping to leave.
Lu Yanzhi was busy stopping her.
“Four… Jenny, that actually I came over this time because I had something I wanted to see you about.”
Jenny was stunned and looked at him in surprise, “What is it?”
