Xia Lan and Zhang Xiaojuan became best friends. Although Zhang Xiaojuan went to work in another place, he often contacted her and sometimes even mailed clothes, food, etc. to Xia Lan.

Zhang Xiaojuan's father was very angry and worried when he learned about his daughter's divorce. He called his daughter and said, "Why do you want a divorce? Don't you know you're sick? If you leave the Shao family, no one will want you. What will you do when you're old?"

Zhang Xiaojuan blamed his father in his heart. Why couldn't he be more assertive and make decisions for himself like other people's fathers? Why did he always give in and tolerate things?

It was because of his tolerance that she developed such a character. It was because of her original family that she did not dare to resist. Even if she was bullied and beaten, she endured it herself.

Are you saying hate?

It seems that I don’t hate it.

It was their father who raised them all with great difficulty.

It was also because of them that their father remained single.

Now he is over seventy years old and still working hard in other places.

I received another call from my father. Again, he showed no concern or questioning, only questioning and impatience.

But this time, Zhang Xiaojuan was not sad, perhaps because his mentality had changed.

From this moment on, she no longer needs her father's protection. What she didn't have as a child, she won't have when she grows up, and she doesn't need it now. She can protect herself in the future.

She smiled and said, "Dad, do you understand my life? Do you know what kind of life I live in the Shao family? Do you know whether your daughter is happy or not?"

There was silence on the phone for a long time. Perhaps it was because it was the first time I questioned him like this and he was stunned. But on the other hand, it also showed that my father knew that I was not living a good life, but he still chose to ignore it and let me continue to stay in the Shao family.

Perhaps from the father's perspective, this is for the good of his daughter, but from Zhang Xiaojuan's perspective, she thinks her father is wrong.

She didn't argue with her father and hung up the phone. It was the first time she ended the call without saying goodbye.

The old man on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while: "Did I really do something wrong?"

Zhang Xiaojuan has not returned home since she went out to work. She doesn't know how to face her father. She feels strange but can't blame him, so she decides to just avoid seeing him.

She would still answer her father's calls, but the intimacy was gone. Some things had changed.

***

Live broadcast room.

After Chen Xi posted Zhang Xiaojuan’s video, he sent out another lucky bag and had already sent the video link.

A very cute little girl appeared in the video and said in a sweet voice, "Master Chen, hello, my name is Tiantian."

Well, the name really suits the person.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Hello, Tiantian..."

I wanted to ask her what she wanted to know as usual, but suddenly I noticed a black gas appeared in the girl's life palace, and it was increasing little by little. This was a sign of death.

Chen Xi changed the subject and asked, "Have you encountered any bad things recently?"

Hearing this, Tiantian instantly became nervous and looked around as if searching for something. Probably because she didn't find anything, she looked at the video in horror: "Master, please save me, I'm being haunted by an evil spirit!"

Chen Xi frowned when he heard this: "Can you tell me the whole story?"

Tiantian nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I am eighteen years old and currently in my third year of high school. Because the college entrance examination is approaching, my parents signed me up for a cram school during the winter vacation. The classes are held in the evening.

In the past, my parents would come to pick me up after class, but last night my grandma suddenly fell ill, so they went to the hospital together. When it was time for me to get out of class, they hadn't returned yet, so they called and told me to go home by myself.

After class, I walked towards home as usual and arrived home soon. Unexpectedly, my parents were already home and they were sitting at the dining table waiting for me to eat.

I shouted in surprise: "Mom and Dad, you are back?"

They didn't answer or look at me, but just said very coldly: "Come and eat!"

I originally wanted to ask about grandma's condition, but seeing that they all had stern faces, I didn't dare to ask. I put down my schoolbag, washed my hands, and sat down at the dining table.

My mother then spoke expressionlessly: "Eat!"

I felt something was wrong. In the past, my mother would always ask me about my studies first, but tonight she kept asking me to eat, so I observed her carefully.

This observation almost scared me to death. I saw that her eyes were empty, not like a normal person.

My father was even more terrifying. He didn't say a word, just held the bowl and ate with big mouthfuls.

I was so scared at the time that I whispered, "Mom and Dad, are you okay?"

Hearing this, they slowly looked at me and said, "Eat!"

It was the same repeated urging words again.

Do you understand how I felt at that time? My calves were shaking, how could I dare to eat? "

[I really don't dare to eat anymore. I'd probably pee my pants if it were me.]

[Is this a case of evil spirits?]

[It looks a bit like that. I must have run into something unclean at the hospital and got entangled.]

Chen Xi frowned: "It's not that she's being pestered, but these are not her parents at all!"

Tiantian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Chenxi in surprise: "Yes, these are indeed not my parents."

"What's going on? The more I listen, the more confused I become. If they're not your parents, then who are they?"

Chen Xi said: "Don't be anxious, just continue to listen to her."

She nodded sweetly and continued, "Wasn't I scared at the time? I didn't dare to eat, and then I went back to my room on the pretext of feeling unwell. I locked the door and stayed inside, feeling something was wrong. Then I took out my phone and prepared to call grandma, but no matter how hard I tried, the call wouldn't go through.

My phone clearly had full signal and I couldn't make any calls. I was anxious and even more scared at the time.

Then I bravely opened the door a little and looked outside. I had planned to quietly go out when they were not in the living room.

Who would have thought that as soon as I showed my head, they all looked over at me, and the moment we looked into each other's eyes, I was absolutely sure that these were not my parents."

[My guess is that she probably saw something extremely terrifying, like her neck spinning 360 degrees, her eyeballs falling out, etc.]

[The person above is so venomous! Have you watched too many horror movies? You're just talking nonsense. I think Tiantian must have seen these two people transform. I think it was the kind with green faces and fangs.]

[Briefly tell me what you saw. I am very curious now.]
