Chapter 184

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. The scenes that made Chu Shao sad and weak, Chu Jiujiu panicked and uncomfortable, and Han Shengyi silent, seemed nonsensical to others.

Why did the brother hit his sister when nothing happened? He wasn't angry after being hit, and he even went to apologize. Is there something wrong with this sister?

There is no way around it. We all move forward on our own journey of life, and the feeling can only be understood by those who participate in it.

Chu Jiujiu was slapped, and her face quickly swelled up because she had thin skin. Chu Shao wanted to coax her and comfort her, so he basically watched the whole process of Chu Jiujiu's face swelling.

After he was no longer angry, he began to feel uneasy.

Seeing Chu Jiujiu looking timid, seeing Han Shengyi looking timid, and thinking about the questions his wife would ask him when he got home, he felt even more timid.

Han Shengyi didn't bother with him about this, but he resented in his heart why he hit her so hard. Chu Jiujiu stopped crying and sat quietly in the car, letting Han Shengyi show her his face.

Chu Jiujiu, who had stopped crying, turned back into her usual fairy self. Chu Shao felt guilty, and so did Chu Jiujiu. She secretly glanced at Chu Shao, a little afraid that he would be angry, but if he was angry, she would still say, "Um... I want to talk to Zhang Nan alone later."

Chu Shao glanced at her and asked, "Are you talking about the necklace?"

Chu Jiujiu suddenly stared, "How do you know?"

Very good. If he hadn't known it in advance, Chu Jiujiu would probably still want to hide it from him. His hands were itching to scold her again, but looking at Chu Jiujiu's miserable appearance, he couldn't say anything harsh.

After a moment of silence, he told the story of Chu Yue.

"Chu Yue disappeared some time ago. Her family thought she had gone abroad, but she was actually detained by Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan must have tortured her. She is now unconscious and has revealed everything, including the necklace and..."

After taking a look at Han Shengyi next to him, Chu Shao didn't continue speaking. He took Chu Jiujiu's hand and wrote two words on her palm.

Han Shengyi just watched the two of them whispering in front of him in silence, unable to get angry.

Chu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment when she found out that Chu Shao had written about rebirth. After two seconds, she suddenly let out a long "Oh," "So that's it."

No wonder Chu Yue’s identity is so perfect. She is a person of this era. Unlike her, she was an illegal resident when she first came here.

After a pause, Chu Jiujiu said, "Zhang Nan also knows this. She came to us just for this reason. Let me talk to her. I have a question. I'll come out after I've clarified it."

There was no room for compromise when it came to what Chu Jiujiu wanted to do. Knowing he couldn't stop her, Chu Shao frowned and said, "I'll give you five minutes."

Chu Jiujiu laughed, but it pulled her cheek, causing her to gasp in pain.

"That's enough, I just have one question."

The car drove back to the city and Zhang Nan was sent to the police station. No one knew what Chu Shao said to them, but in any case, he actually bought Chu Jiujiu five minutes of alone time.

Zhang Nan was locked in a chair. When he saw her come in, his expression was as gloomy as water.

Knowing that her image was not very good, Chu Jiujiu did not laugh and directly called her, "Aunt Wanhe."

Zhang Nan's face changed. Chu Jiujiu, who was sitting opposite him, thought for a moment and changed her tone, "No, based on our relationship here, I should call you Aunt Wanhe."

"If it were based on our relationship in another place, I would have to call you Grandma Wanhe."

Zhang Nan didn't understand what she was saying. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Looking at her, Chu Jiujiu lowered her head and took something out from the inner pocket of her coat. She pinched the rope between her fingers, and with the effect of gravity, the pendant fell gently into the air. Seeing this necklace that was exactly the same as the one in her pocket, Zhang Nan's expression was wonderful.

Almost in an instant, she figured it out.

"The necklace has always been in your hand!"

Chu Jiujiu: "Of course it's been in my hands all along. The one you got was a fake I had made. Actually, I don't understand why Chu Yue was so sure that Uncle Nie was the one holding the necklace. Maybe she thought that if someone held the necklace, they must have been reborn."

This statement contained too much information. The necklace not only allowed people to have a second life, but also had even more surprising functions. However, Chu Jiujiu's words were ambiguous. Zhang Nan could guess the direction but not the truth.

At this time, Chu Jiujiu came over considerately, pulled another chair, and sat in front of her. "When I was very young, you were already an old lady in your eighties. I never met you, but I have heard your name. It's almost the same as now. You are looking for me and approaching me now because of the necklace. At that time, you sent people to look for me and approach me for the necklace."

Zhang Nan's head was buzzing. When she was in her eighties, Chu Jiujiu was very young. Her confusing and illogical words made Zhang Nan open her eyes wide in shock.

Chu Jiujiu ignored her reaction and continued, "Why would an eighty-year-old lady want the necklace? Before I knew Chu Yue was reborn, I couldn't understand it, but now I understand. You definitely don't want to die, so you want to find the necklace to prolong your life. However, I still have one question for you. I won't be able to rest easy unless I get the answer from you in person."

Holding the necklace in her hand, Chu Jiujiu asked her seriously, "Meng Wanhe, I was only nine years old at that time. If you found the necklace from my house, how would you deal with me, an orphan who is always scheming?"

Zhang Nan looked at her without saying anything.

After looking at her for a second, Chu Jiujiu chuckled, "Okay, I understand."

She is an orphan and very cunning. Perhaps if one condition was missing, Zhang Nan would have let her go. After all, she is just a child, and it doesn't matter whether he kills her or not. But she is fearless like a newborn calf. When she sees someone bullying her, she will bully back immediately. She will call the police and seek help from adults, but she will not hide her light and stay out of the limelight.

At this time, being without parents became the knife that prompted Zhang Nan to take action.

Chu Jiujiu didn't even need to think about it to understand why. How great it would be! The whole family of the child who would cause trouble for her would be wiped out. If she died, she wouldn't be able to make a splash. It would be a permanent solution. Why wouldn't she do it?

From a long time ago, Chu Jiujiu had been wondering why her parents didn't send her here earlier, why it happened on that day, and why they let her live alone for a year before making such a decision.

It turned out that this decision was not made by them, but was forced by Zhang Nan.

Chu Jiujiu stood up and said to Zhang Nan sincerely, "Even if you didn't mean it, even if you only have ill intentions towards me, I still want to thank you. In return, I won't let you suffer here for too long. I will help you urge them to send you on your way as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way," Chu Jiujiu habitually raised the corner of her mouth, smiling very maliciously, "I hope you can do me another favor. Until you are brought to justice, you will continue to be Zhang Nan, right? Don't mention your former name Meng Wanhe anymore. I will also take care of everything for you outside. Didn't you drive Chu Yue crazy? Then you can go crazy too. You can't believe what a madman says. When foreigners come and ask us for Meng Wanhe, I will tell them that there is no such person."

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment before she realized what Chu Jiujiu was trying to do. She immediately became excited and said, "Don't even think about it!"

Chu Jiujiu looked at her, almost jumping up, and raised her eyebrows. "I thought you could remain calm."

"Forget it. Since you don't want to cooperate, I won't force you. Anyway, it's only a matter of one or two months. Special matters will be handled specially. Maybe in less than a month, you can reunite with those you killed."

After saying that, Chu Jiujiu walked to the door, waved to Zhang Nan in a good mood, and then she walked out of the room.

The corridor of the police station was long and quiet. Chu Jiujiu walked slowly. The smile that was on the surface because of Zhang Nan gradually became sincere when she was away from Zhang Nan.

In the past ten years, she has grown from a thorny child with many shortcomings to an adult who has hidden her thorny nature and has many shortcomings.

It is said that as people grow older, their personalities become better and better, and their shortcomings become fewer and fewer. Chu Jiujiu felt that she was lagging behind this statement.

However, there is no need to be discouraged, because she is still growing up, and there are many elders around her who accompany her, teach her, and care for her.

And her parents who love her the most have always protected her.

Living a good life is always the most important thing.

After returning home, she would kneel down sincerely and apologize to her whole family, and then explain everything to Chu Shao. As long as Chu Shao was no longer angry, she would have passed this hurdle.

Chu Jiujiu thought this plan was feasible. She wanted to go home quickly, and even her steps became lighter. But just as she reached the stairs, she heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.

"Han Shengyi! You're going to piss me off! I thought you were sensible, but how could you do something like this? Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you didn't expect this. Chu Shao, beat him up, beat him up!"

"Where's Chu Jiujiu?! When she comes down, I'm going to give her a beating! She's grown up, and you dare to hide such a big thing from your family? Don't stop me! What's wrong with having a child? If I force you, I'll beat your child too!"

Chu Jiujiu: “…………”

Standing quietly at the stairs, Chu Jiujiu looked back silently.

Otherwise, I might as well not go home. Actually, wandering life is pretty good, close to nature...
