It was all over in an instant, the corpse water disappeared along with the talisman paper.
Gu Mengyang looked at the scene before him, his emotions extremely complex.
His mood now was just like back then, when the little girl had taken their family to practice Ancient Martial Arts.
He only felt that the already mysterious world had become even more fantastical.
After clearing the negative energy from Gu Mengyang’s office, Gu Zhiqi left Mengyang Entertainment.
Gu Mengyang had his driver take Gu Zhiqi back to the villa, while he himself stayed at the company to deal with work matters.
However, Gu Zhiqi did not return to the villa, instead asking the driver to take her to the shopping center.
"Gu Zhiqi!" Just as she arrived at the entrance of the building, she heard someone call her, and Gu Zhiqi instinctively stopped in her tracks.
Turning around, she followed the voice to its source, and upon seeing the person calling her, Gu Zhiqi’s brows lifted ever so slightly, adding a touch of world-weary disdain to her languid eyes.
The caller was none other than her nominal mother, Zhang Xiuli, who was striding powerfully toward Gu Zhiqi in high heels, adorned in gold and silver, with a face full of loathing and disdain.
Gu Zhiqi wasn’t interested in entertaining her, nor did she intend to stand there waiting for her to approach, and was just about to turn around and leave when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the girl following Zhang Xiuli and suddenly changed her mind.
Standing in place, she looked meaningfully at the girl walking behind Zhang Xiuli.
Zhang Xiuli approached quickly, and in no time, she arrived in front of Gu Zhiqi.
Coming face-to-face with Gu Zhiqi, Zhang Xiuli looked at her accusingly, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Zhiqi ignored her and instead focused her gaze on the girl behind Zhang Xiuli, asking with a lazily amused tone, "May I ask how to address you?"
The girl clearly hadn’t expected Gu Zhiqi to speak to her. She paused at first, then a warm smile played at the corners of her mouth as she stepped forward, extending her hand to Gu Zhiqi, "So you’re Xiao Qi, right? I’m your elder sister, Yuk Weiyin."
As soon as Yuk Weiyin’s words fell, her extended hand was seized by Zhang Xiuli who first said to Yuk Weiyin, "Elder sister? She’s got nothing to do with us."
Then, stepping forward, she shielded Yuk Weiyin behind her and looked disgustedly at Gu Zhiqi, "Weren’t you following Tang Yun to Yueqi Village? What are you doing in Yan City?"
Gu Zhiqi paid no attention to Zhang Xiuli but continued to look at Yuk Weiyin, whispering the name "Yuk Weiyin" to herself.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuli’s alarm bells rang, "Gu Zhiqi, don’t even think about getting me to take you into the Yuk Family. You’re nothing compared to Weiyin."
Gu Zhiqi heard Zhang Xiuli’s words, but didn’t respond, instead looking at Yuk Weiyin with a dispersed smile, "Let’s have dinner together sometime, elder sister."
The young girl’s features were delicate, her smile relaxed and unrestrained, looking lazily at Yuk Weiyin with half-closed eyes, the term "elder sister" taking on a deeper meaning as she spoke.
Meeting the girl’s profound and hazy eyes, Yuk Weiyin froze for a moment, then quickly conjured a gentle smile, "Sure, elder sister will definitely..."
"Definitely what? Who let you call her elder sister?" Zhang Xiuli interrupted Yuk Weiyin sharply, looking at Gu Zhiqi with a mean expression, "I’m not your mother, and she is not your elder sister. Don’t call her that again in the future, and don’t even think about climbing the social ladder with the Yuk Family."
Having said that, she pulled Yuk Weiyin away with a cold face, "Weiyin, let’s go."
Yuk Weiyin was forcibly dragged away by Zhang Xiuli, glancing back at Gu Zhiqi while walking, nodding apologetically to her, then followed Zhang Xiuli away.
