Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 275 Touching!

Chapter 275: 275 Touching!

The mother and daughter knelt on the ground together, crying in a heap.

The scene was extremely touching.

It would soften the heart of anyone who witnessed it.

Li Mi’s eyes were also slightly red at the edges.

Although she usually carried herself with an air of superiority, her heart wasn’t made of stone.

Seeing the mother and daughter like this, she couldn’t bother with releasing the mute acupoint anymore, her attention fixed on the situation before her, feeling somewhat sentimental inside.

At the same time, her perception of this wild girl had changed.

Chu Jin furrowed her brows slightly, looking at the kneeling pair, let out a soft sigh, then turned her gaze to Wen Ziyao’s face, staring straight into her eyes as she asked, "Do you want to live?"

Her eyes were too pure and too clean, yet they carried a sharp, piercing quality.

That sharpness seemed capable of penetrating one’s eyes, striking directly at the depths of the soul, revealing the dark side hidden within.

Chu Jin did feel guilty about Lin Xiaoman’s death.

Wen Ziyao subconsciously lowered her gaze to hide the guilt in her eyes and said, "I want to survive, please, Master Chu, help me."

"Get up and then we’ll talk," Chu Jin spoke, her red lips parting slightly, her eyes half-closed, obscuring the expression within.

Her voice was somewhat cold.

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter exchanged glances, then helped each other up from the ground.

Wen Ziyao’s body was still very weak.

She adjusted her breathing, then looked at Chu Jin, "Master Chu, I want to live. Please save me."

Shen Suhua also looked hopefully at Chu Jin, "Master Chu, please, save Yaoyao."

"The one who can save you has never been me," Chu Jin said.

Wen Ziyao was startled and looked up in surprise, "What?"

Chu Jin looked at Wen Ziyao and said word by word, "The only one who can save you now is yourself."

"I don’t understand what you mean, Master Chu," Wen Ziyao quickly diverted her gaze, looking elsewhere.

"This place is supposed to be an abode of righteousness where no evil spirits can step foot. How did you manage to summon Lin Xiaoman’s spirit back?" A person who’s been dead for four years, yet their spirit still lingers on earth, unwilling to move on to the netherworld—how profound must their resentment be?

And this issue with Wen Ziyao only started two months ago, which means that for the other four years, everyone was unharmed.

How, then, did the spirit of Lin Xiaoman suddenly appear in the house?

There must be more to the story.

"I..." Wen Ziyao stammered, "I played a game."

"What game?" Chu Jin asked indifferently.

The room was quiet yet eerie.

It felt as if unseen eyes were watching your every move.

It sent shivers down your spine and made your flesh crawl.

Li Mi, feeling the oddness in the air, subconsciously grasped the crucifix in her hand tightly.

Everyone was waiting for Wen Ziyao’s response.

After a long hesitation, Wen Ziyao began to speak, her voice trembling, "It’s called... the Four Corners Game."

As soon as the words were spoken, an eerie silence fell once again.

Shen Suhua immediately frowned, "You child, why would you play with such a thing? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

The Four Corners Game.

It’s a terrifying game...

Playing it could allow you to see spirits.

But simply playing that game shouldn’t have caused a spirit to follow someone home directly.

"The Four-Corner Game?" Chu Jin glanced at Wen Ziyao, his eyes narrowing slightly, "I’m afraid things aren’t that simple, are they? At this point, I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, no one can save you."

Large teardrops streamed out from Wen Ziyao’s eyes.

If she had known that things would turn out like this, she never would have taken such a risk.

"I really just played the Four-Corner Game out of curiosity, I didn’t expect to summon Lin Xiaoman, I really didn’t think it would be her..."

"Why on earth did you play the Four-Corner Game? It can’t be just curiosity, right? I’m giving you another chance, you’d better tell the truth, or I’ll be powerless too." Chu Jin’s voice was somewhat cold, and his expression was very serious, with not the slightest hint of jesting.

If Wen Ziyao was really just curious, how could she have possibly brought this ghost into her home?

It’s clear that she had some kind of purpose.

"I..." Wen Ziyao bit her lips tightly, not speaking, blood marks appearing on her lips from the biting, yet she still showed no intention of speaking.

"Yaoyao, it’s already come to this, just tell Master Chu the truth!" Shen Suhua also urged.

"If Miss Wen is unwilling to cooperate, then I can only leave, take care of yourself." With that, Chu Jin turned to leave.

Wen Ziyao hurriedly got up and caught the hem of Chu Jin’s clothes, pleading, "Master Chu, I’ll tell, I’ll tell you everything, please don’t go."

Chu Jin turned around slowly and said, "Speak."

Under Chu Jin’s gaze, Wen Ziyao slowly began, "I... I did it to cultivate a ghost."

Upon hearing this, Shen Suhua immediately stood up, shouting sharply, "Yaoyao! Have you gone mad? How dare you cultivate such a thing!"

Li Mi swallowed nervously, finding that her view of the world had been turned upside down by today’s events.

First, she was outdone in medical skills by someone younger than her.

Then, although she had always disbelieved in ghosts and spirits, today she had come to believe in the existence of ghosts.

Moreover, she had heard of people raising cats and dogs, but this was the first time she heard of someone raising a ghost!

No wonder the ghost had latched onto her; it was clearly her own doing.

Chu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "You played the Four-Corner Game and met a ghost just to cultivate it?"

Wen Ziyao nodded, "But I didn’t expect that in the end, I would summon Lin Xiaoman, I really didn’t know..."

"Your purpose?"

"What purpose?" Wen Ziyao looked up, a blank look in her eyes as she stared at Chu Jin.

Chu Jin slightly arched his brows, "Your purpose in cultivating the ghost?"

Wen Ziyao closed her eyes, as if very reluctant to answer the question.

But Shen Suhua was urging from the side, "Yaoyao, speak up quickly! Don’t keep Master Chu waiting."

Wen Ziyao let out a deep sigh, then slowly opened her eyes, her voice filled with fear, "I heard from someone that if you capture a ghost and worship it every day for forty-nine days, a total of seven weeks, you can make your wishes come true." But she hadn’t expected that getting rid of a ghost would be so difficult, let alone that she had summoned Lin Xiaoman.

In the end, it was all for her own obsession.

Chu Jin sighed softly, "So you’re saying that you didn’t provoke it during your trip two months ago?"

Wen Ziyao shook her head gently, "No."

Everyone thought she had encountered something unclean while traveling.

But that wasn’t the case.

"How long have you been cultivating this ghost?" Chu Jin asked calmly.

Wen Ziyao lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look directly at Chu Jin, "...Three years."

Upon hearing this, both Shen Suhua and Li Mi gasped in shock.

No one expected Wen Ziyao to be so bold!

To cultivate such a thing, and for three whole years at that.

Shen Suhua said with a pained face, "Yaoyao oh Yaoyao! How could you be so foolish! All your life, whatever you asked for, your father and I tried our best to fulfill it! We never refused you anything, how, how could you still raise such a thing? If you wanted something, couldn’t you have just asked me?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ziyao became agitated, "What’s the use of telling you? Can you make Tairan like me if I tell you? Can you arrange an engagement between Tairan and me if I tell you? Do you think my father’s health improved on its own? It was all me!"
