Chapter 274: 274 Are You Ashamed? (Second Update)

Wen Ziyao’s changes were all seen by Shen Suhua, who watched her daughter with such nervousness that she barely dared to blink, afraid she might miss something.

At this moment, Zhang Zijun also finished his phone call and walked in from outside the house. He was just about to speak but was silenced by a look from Song Shiqin.

The air in the room was still, and nearly everyone’s attention was on Wen Ziyao except for Li Mi, who sat on the sofa.

Finally, under everyone’s gaze, Wen Ziyao’s fingers twitched, and a drop of clear liquid fell from the corner of her eyes, sliding through her black hair.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes, her lips trembling as she spoke, "Mom..."

Her voice was very weak, as thin as a mosquito’s, and carried a hint of hoarseness.

The muddiness in her eyes was slowly clearing up, it was evident that her consciousness had fully awakened.

"Yaoyao!" Shen Suhua hugged Wen Ziyao excitedly, crying out loud.

This was the first time in two months of Wen Ziyao’s confused state that she called out for her mom so earnestly.

No one could understand her emotions.

"Mom, don’t cry. I’m fine, I’ve worried you," Wen Ziyao gently patted Shen Suhua’s back.

Li Mi, sitting on the sofa, looked over incredulously.

She hadn’t expected that wild girl to have some real skill.

She had actually managed to awaken Wen Ziyao’s consciousness.

Could it be that Western medicine is not as good as Chinese medicine?

Could it be that decades of medical study were inferior to an eighteen-year-old girl?

Li Mi fell into deep thought.

She did not snap out of it for quite a while.

Song Shiqin and Zhang Zijun, on the other hand, were startled to realize that Chu Jin had not been bragging earlier.

She had truly found a way to cure Wen Ziyao.

Zhang Zijun was taken aback for a moment before he remembered the content of the phone call he just had and whispered a few sentences into Song Shiqin’s ear.

Song Shiqin frowned slightly, a fierce coldness flashing in his eyes and vanished in an instant before he nodded slightly to indicate he understood.

"Auntie," Song Shiqin lifted his gaze towards Shen Suhua and slowly said, "Shiqin and I have something urgent to attend to, so we won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll visit Yaoyao another day."

Shen Suhua nodded, "Go ahead, official business is important."

Song Shiqin nodded slightly, "Farewell."

Zhang Zijun also bid farewell to Shen Suhua, "Auntie, goodbye."

With that, the two men turned and left.

After the two left, the spacious room was left with only Chu Jin, Li Mi, and Shen Suhua and Wen Ziyao, the mother and daughter.

Wen Ziyao was sobbing quietly in Shen Suhua’s arms, the entire ordeal through these days making her shiver all over, "Mom... what do we do, I saw Little Man, she has come back for me, she said it’s too cold underground and wants to take me with her, but I don’t want to die, mom, please find a way to save me."

The room was quiet, so quiet that only Wen Ziyao’s crying could be heard.

And although her voice was filled with sobs, it carried an inexplicable chill.

It sent a shiver down one’s spine.

Li Mi, sitting on the sofa, swallowed hard. As a steadfast atheist, she surprisingly found the scene somewhat terrifying.

Moreover, she kept feeling like someone was blowing cold air on the back of her neck.

Grim and eerie.

Together with Wen Ziyao’s words, Li Mi felt increasingly that the room was filled with a creepy atmosphere.

Could there really be ghosts?

Li Mi was startled by this thought and began to frantically pat her chest in a panic.

Shen Suhua held Wen Ziyao, patting her back rhythmically, and softly comforted, "Yaoyao, don’t be afraid, mom’s here, nobody will hurt you, you must have seen it wrong, Little Man has already died, how could she possibly come for you? It must be a mistake..."

These words did not comfort Wen Ziyao.

She shivered, her face turning instantly pale, her eyes void of any vitality, "Mom, I didn’t see it wrong, Little Man might be dead, but she really has come back! Mom, do you remember? Little Man loved red, every piece of clothing in her wardrobe was red, just like the one I’m wearing, Little Man has always been here, the arrangement here is all her doing..."

Towards the end, Wen Ziyao clutched Shen Suhua’s neck and burst into a loud wail.

No one could know the terror in her heart.

Listening to Wen Ziyao’s words, Shen Suhua’s face also turned somewhat pale.

She had originally thought that her daughter had simply changed her tastes, suddenly taking a liking to the color red, but she never expected...

A fear that made it impossible to breathe instantly spread throughout the entire room.

Mothers are strong!

Shen Suhua struggled to calm herself down, "Yaoyao, don’t cry, mom has sought out an expert for you; she will definitely be able to save you."

Hearing this, Wen Ziyao immediately stopped crying, staring blankly at Shen Suhua, "Mom, are you telling the truth?"

She had had enough of these days.

Memories that she had thought forgotten were reappearing before her eyes.

Moreover, she had no idea when Lin Xiaoman would appear.

Maybe it would be upon waking, or perhaps in a midnight reverie.

All the time.

Living in endless fear every day.

Suffering from relentless mental torment.

"Of course," Shen Suhua nodded, wiping the tears from her face, and looked up at Chu Jin, "Yaoyao, this is Master Chu, she is the one who brought you to your senses, she definitely has a way to save you."

Wen Ziyao quickly lifted her gaze towards Chu Jin, and seeing that the other party was a girl even younger than herself, she didn’t show any surprise, but nodded politely at her, then spoke with a husky voice, "Master Chu, can you help me?"

At this moment, Chu Jin was her only hope and lifeline.

"Do you feel guilty?" Chu Jin slowly began, with a faint expression on her face, the thick lashes casting shadows under the light, making it hard to discern the emotions in her eyes.

But her voice was tinged with a chill, piercing straight to the depths of the soul.

Wen Ziyao bit her lip and kept her head down, remaining silent.

"Those who are guilt-free cannot possibly attract those things, nor will they harbor fear," Chu Jin lifted her gaze to Wen Ziyao, her originally clear peach-blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, piercingly sharp, making Wen Ziyao feel even more guilty.

It made her unable to meet Chu Jin’s gaze directly.

Li Mi was also sitting on the sofa nearby, watching the activity here.

Hearing what Chu Jin said, her tense emotions relaxed a bit; she admitted that, at times, she might lose control of her emotions and act too proudly, but she never did anything bad.

She was guiltless in her heart, so naturally, she wasn’t afraid of those nonsensical things.

A girl in the face of such a situation could still remain composed.

Could her courage really be less than that of a young girl?

Although she thought this, Li Mi still silently clutched the cross pendant hanging in front of her chest in her hand.

With the cross in hand, a hundred ghosts dare not invade!

As Chu Jin finished speaking, a cool breeze began to blow within the room.

The curtains swayed from side to side, and the crystal light ornaments clinked.

Carrying a chilling Ghost Qi, seeping into the flesh and bones, a shiver overcame the heart.

In this room, the door was closed, the windows too, and an inexplicable gust of wind arose.

It caused everyone’s hearts to tense immediately.

All at once, Wen Ziyao clutched Shen Suhua’s arm, trembling all over, and a crying voice was heard, "...She, she’s here, Little Man is here, she’s come to take me away...."

The air was very still, eerily still.

So still you could only hear breathing.

"Master Chu!" Shen Suhua’s knees hit the floor with a ’thump’ as she knelt down before Chu Jin, "Please, save Yaoyao, I am willing to give my life for hers..."

Chu Jin sighed softly, bent down to try to lift Shen Suhua up, but Shen Suhua refused to get up, "Master Chu, I beg you, please save Yaoyao, or else I won’t get up." Shen Suhua’s attitude was very firm.

Seeing this, Wen Ziyao couldn’t care less about her fear and hurriedly threw off the covers, without even bothering to put on her shoes, she knelt straight down before Chu Jin.

’Knock, knock, knock,’ she knocked her head on the ground three times.

She knew that Master Chu must possess some ability; otherwise, Lin Xiaoman would have appeared by now.

Instead of employing tricks like summoning a ghostly breeze, she must be wary of Master Chu.

"Master Chu, please save me, please save me, I don’t want to die yet, I’m willing to pay any amount of money if you will save me."
