"How much money did you actually spend?"
"Fifty thousand." Ye Ying sobbed, "I thought I met a real master, but it turned out to be a damn scammer, that damn old hag, may she get run over by a car someday!"
"Did you go find Shen Congmo again?" Ye Mu asked warily.
Ye Ying admitted, "I sought him out today, and just now that ghost warned me again, saying it wouldn’t give me a third chance, and if I kept going, it would really take my soul away."
Ye Mu responded, "Didn’t you learn your lesson last time, yet you still dare to seek him out? Do you not fear being taken away? Keep on tomorrow."
"Crying mom won’t help." Ye Mu clearly told her, "Gu Lili is helping Shen Congmo deal with you. If you really don’t listen, your parents are helpless and might even have to plead with others on your behalf, after all, this matter is so sinister."
This time, Ye Ying was genuinely scared, "This is just too much!"
"Are you not excessive?" Ye Mu replied, "Although I’m your mother, in this matter, I think you shouldn’t pester obsessively. Listen to me, and never go find Shen Congmo again." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noⅴelfire.net
"But I just really like him." Ye Ying struggled with her true feelings, "He doesn’t have a girlfriend and isn’t married, why can’t I pursue him, who made that rule?!"
"You’re already causing trouble for him. Chasing someone isn’t supposed to be done this way. Not only will this not make him like you, but it will make him dislike you even more." Ye Mu finished speaking and then scared her again, "If you remain stubborn and keep pursuing him, when your soul really gets taken away, and you die, what’s more important - your life or this man who doesn’t care about you at all? You better make a good choice!"
Ye Ying felt both dejected and scared, with the image of seeing the ghost filling her head, she didn’t sleep well all night, repeatedly jolted awake by nightmares.
Shi Xiaotian ran into the company from outside, heading straight to Liang He’s office.
"It’s late at night, Brother Liang, calling me here from home, what’s the matter?"
Seeing her with disheveled hair, Liang He was taken aback, "Did you sleep?"
"Of course, I got up again." She quickly poured herself a cup of hot tea to drink, "Hurry up and tell me, what’s the emergency?"
"Actually, it’s nothing serious." Liang He shut down his computer and stood up, "Join me for a meal, I don’t feel like eating alone."
"..." Xiao Tian was stunned, "Brother Liang, I’ve already eaten."
"No worries, I’ll eat, you can just sit and watch."
"But at this hour, where can we find food to buy?"
"Let’s go out and look."
Xiao Tian really felt cursed, she had just taken a couple of sips of hot tea before she was out of the company with him again.
It began to drizzle outside, and they got into the nanny car.
They drove around but couldn’t find any restaurants still open, all were closed.
"Brother Liang, what would you like to eat?"
"How about going to my house?" Xiao Tian spoke up, "Looking at the time, it seems hard to find an open noodle shop, I can make you a bowl at my place."
Liang He wasn’t actually fixed on eating noodles; after all, the chefs at his parents’ place could make some for him anytime, so there was no need to specifically go to her place to eat.
But somehow, thinking that he had never visited her place before, he agreed.
Xiao Tian’s family was average, and she rented a one-bedroom apartment in an ordinary district.
Only when he reached her doorway did Liang He realize that she lived in such a small house.
