Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Remember Even If I Turn to Ashes_1

The elderly woman gazed intently at her dearly pampered granddaughter, her hand gently stroking Wu Qiyi’s black, smooth hair. She whispered softly, "My dear girl, you must understand that for a woman, the greatest fortune in this life is to find a man who truly cherishes her. As you say, you and he have been childhood sweethearts, inseparable since you were little, with not a shred of distance between you. That’s precisely why you should cherish this and strive for it, even if it means resorting to any means necessary!"

Wu Qiyi looked at the elderly woman and noticed a hint of reminiscence flash through her eyes.

Wu Qiyi nodded. She didn’t ask any questions, for she was clever enough to know that some things, like memories, are akin to old scars on a person’s body—it’s better not to peel them back.

At last, the elderly woman added, "Since that rascal isn’t coming, Granny will accompany you to Yuhang in a few days. We’ll go knock some sense into him."

"Granny, is that really a good idea?" Wu Qiyi was immediately flustered. She hadn’t expected her grandmother to leave the house she hadn’t stepped out of for over a decade just for her sake.

The elderly woman fondly stroked Wu Qiyi’s head, smiling as she said, "What’s wrong with that? You’re Granny’s granddaughter. For you, there’s nothing Granny wouldn’t do. Hmph, I’d like to see just how formidable this rascal is, thinking he has Three Heads and Six Arms!"

"Ah-Choo!"

Sitting in the car, you suddenly sneezed!

"Boss, are you catching a cold?"

Zong Wangyue, who was gnawing on a soup-filled bun, turned to glance at you.

"No, it’s just my nose feels itchy. I guess someone must be talking about me behind my back again." You rubbed your nose.

Zong Wangyue tossed the bun into his mouth, chewing with big bites. He casually pulled out a tissue, wiped the grease from his face, and said to you, "By the way, it’s Christmas Eve tonight. You’re not going to be with your wife? Is that okay?"

You rolled your eyes, "Even if Zhao’er were with me, she probably wouldn’t be too interested in a foreign holiday."

Zong Wangyue nodded, "True that. Ah, sometimes I really envy you, having found two such wonderful wives. They’re not only perfect in appearance but also have such good characters, considering things entirely from your perspective. Unlike those flashy girls out there. They’re always thinking about getting gifts from their boyfriends on holidays. Tell me, is it easy being a man these days?"

You smiled but didn’t speak. You knew that some words were wasted on Zong Wangyue, this slippery fellow who never took anything seriously.

"Now it’s Christmas, and for this Christmas, I’ve given gifts to three different girls. There goes my food budget for this month and the next. Once Christmas passes, it’s Valentine’s Day. Geez, by then, I might as well start selling my blood or my kidneys!"

"Valentine’s Day?" You couldn’t help but chuckle, "Don’t you know that there are twelve Valentines’ Days a year?"

"What the heck?" Upon hearing this, Zong Wangyue jumped up as if his butt had been pricked by a needle, "Boss, don’t scare me!"

"I’m not scaring you. Sometimes, foreign holidays can be quite twisted. Take Valentine’s Day for example, each country has their own definition, and we Huaxia people like to celebrate everyone’s holidays. These girls really break their backs trying to get gifts," you said.

As you spoke, you extended one finger to Zong Wangyue:

"Look, January 14 is Diary Day;

February 14 is the traditional Valentine’s Day;

March 14 is White Day;

April 14 is Black Day;

May 14 is Rose Day;

June 14 is Kiss Day;

July 14 is Silver Day;

August 14 is Green Day;

September 14 is Photo Day;

October 14 is Wine Day;

November 14 is Movie Day;

December 14 is Hug Lovers’ Day."

"Crap! I absolutely can’t let those three women know about this, or I’d be so deep in debt I couldn’t pay it back even if I sold myself!!"

The two of you were chatting merrily in the car when suddenly, your pocket rang with the sound of a phone.

Pulling out the phone, you pressed the answer button, and Yang Kai’s voice came through: "Old Shu, we are in position now."

"Hmm, be careful."

"I know."

After hanging up the phone, a woman wearing a white long dress with her black hair draped loosely, suddenly leaned forward from the back of the car.

"Whoa!" Zong Wangyue just happened to turn his head and got a severe scare, patting his chest while saying to the ghostly woman, "Elder sister, next time you show up, could you please give a little warning first?"

The ghostly woman turned to look at Zong Wangyue and suddenly cracked a smile: "Squeak."

Zong Wangyue shivered and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, I’ll just shut up."

The ghostly woman turned to you and said, "Mr. Li, make sure they are very careful. That person is very wicked, very strange."

"How strange?" you asked.

The ghostly woman pondered, "I can’t quite put my finger on it right now, but it’s very strange. I was just coming back from work, because it was a little late, so I took a shortcut home. Then he suddenly appeared halfway, just waved at me, and I felt like I was lifted up. By the time I realized what was happening, my soul had already left my body."

Zong Wangyue looked up at the ghostly woman and asked, "Elder sister, even if your soul left your body, did you have to turn into what you are now?"

The ghostly woman coldly glanced at Zong Wangyue and angrily said, "Try being locked up in a bottle the size of a fist by him every day, and then being violated by him daily, and see if you wouldn’t turn out like me?"

Upon hearing this, Zong Wangyue immediately shut up. He neither dared nor wanted to pour salt on the ghostly woman’s wounds.

After hearing the ghostly woman’s words, you frowned and asked, "Are you saying that when you saw that man, just by a wave of his hand, your soul flew out of your body?"

"Yes," the ghostly woman nodded.

"How much time was there in between?"

"In between? There was no interval—it felt like it happened in just a flash."

"Just a flash?"

If someone else had said this, you might not believe it, but this ghostly woman had been through your talisman, and you had left a Magic Seal on her, so you could discern the truth of every word she said.

According to her, that man couldn’t possibly be a normal person.

"What is he like usually?"

"He’s a madman, a complete and utter madman!" The ghostly woman seemed extremely unwilling to mention that person. Just the thought of him would make her lose control.

"Alright, alright, calm down," you quickly said to soothe her, "Do you remember what he looks like?"

"Of course, I remember! Even if he turned to ashes, I would remember!"

You nodded understandingly and picked up the phone again, dialing Yang Kai’s number.

Once Yang Kai answered, you said to him, "Little Kai, don’t take any action, I’m coming over right away."

Honestly, it was lucky that the ghostly woman reminded you, otherwise Yang Kai and Nie Ying might have been in trouble.

"Zongzi, wait for me in the car."
