Chu Nian said with a serious face: "I'm telling the truth. Your brother is my boss. I'm counting on him to let me continue singing and making money at the New Jue Nightclub, so I won't hurt you."

Chen Baiying felt weak all over and felt that she should say something, but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only let out a "heh" and finally couldn't stand up and sat down on the ground.

Everyone else was completely baffled by their conversation.

It was truly not a glorious thing for Chang Fenglin to do, and if word got out, the Chen family would lose all face. So neither of the Chen siblings told anyone about it, and naturally, no one present knew about the zombie.

Although Chen Baiying had just closed the door to pour out her troubles to Zhou Qianqian, she only complained about men's infidelity and didn't go into details about Chang Fenglin.

Chu Nian herself claimed to be a zombie, but she looked like a bright and beautiful woman, and she hadn't harmed anyone (the trick that scared Chang Fenglin off the building was just a distraction used on him alone; no one else saw the female ghost on the ceiling). In addition, information wasn't readily available in this era, and while people had heard of the term "resurrected corpse," the term "zombie" was rarely heard of by ordinary people. So, no one realized they should be afraid, and they all looked at Chu Nian in a daze.

Zhou Qianqian even blinked her eyes and asked innocently like a curious child, "Sister Baiying, what does she mean by that? One minute she says her name is Luo Nian, and the next minute she says she's Jiang Shi. What is her real name?"

Chen Baiying turned to look at Zhou Qianqian, speechless for a long time, but her expression revealed what she was thinking: This is so hard for me!

Chu Nian then answered Zhou Qianqian for her: "My name is Luo Nian. Zombie... is not a name, but a... species." She wanted to explain it as clearly as possible to the girl.

Zhou Qianqian: "I don't care what species you are, you caused Brother Chang to fall down the stairs as soon as you arrived, and you also made Sister Bai Ying so distraught. You must not be a good person."

Chu Nian said, "I am engaged to Chang Fenglin."

"A marriage contract?" Zhou Qianqian was stunned. "You're engaged to Brother Chang? Then why were you so intimate with that man this morning? How could you do this? You're already engaged to Brother Chang, and when you see that other man is so outstanding, you turn around and seduce him. Don't you think you're being too promiscuous?"

Chu Nian was speechless: Girl, who are you referring to as fickle and promiscuous?

Zhou Qianqian then said indignantly, "Since you have a marriage agreement with Brother Chang, you should obediently marry Brother Chang and not get involved with him anymore."

I know he's a hundred times better than Brother Chang, no, no, saying he's a thousand times better wouldn't be an exaggeration. Brother Chang probably can't even compare to one of his little toes, but you can't just fawn over him just because he's better than Brother Chang!

Chu Nian couldn't help but giggle and say, "Silly girl, why are you saying such obvious truths?!"

Her words left Zhou Qianqian speechless, stunned and unsure how to respond. She managed to stammer a couple of "I...I..." before looking around in bewilderment. When her gaze met Chen Baiying's, she was even more confused to find her glaring at her.

Chu Nian could only say, "Girl, your emotional intelligence is worrying!" This girl still doesn't seem to understand that her words have completely criticized her friend Chen Baiying's husband.

"What emotional intelligence?" Zhou Qianqian asked blankly, then quickly pointed at Chu Nian and scolded, "Don't change the subject. Since you're already engaged to Brother Chang, you can't get involved with him anymore, do you hear me?"

Chu Nian shrugged, remaining noncommittal, then turned and sat down on the sofa, saying to the butler, "Butler, the coffee is cold, could you please get me another cup?"

The butler was a shrewd person, unlike Zhou Qianqian, who was a complete idiot. Although she didn't fully understand what "Jiang Shi" was, seeing Chen Baiying, who had always been well-mannered and had a good upbringing, almost wet herself in fear, she could imagine that the person in front of her was no good.

He quickly ordered his servants to bring Chu Nian another cup of coffee and some desserts that women love.

Chu Nian elegantly sipped her coffee.

When Dr. Liu arrived, the housekeeper led him upstairs to Chang Fenglin's room.

Chen Baiying finally calmed her terrified soul, but she still couldn't stop trembling. She sat down opposite Chu Nian and asked in a trembling voice, "Can't you just let Feng Lin go?"

Chu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Okay." After a pause, she added, "But I need to talk to him first."

Chen Baiying said helplessly, "What's there to talk about with him..." But when she turned her head, she met Chu Nian's cold gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly added, "Actually, I think... considering your conditions, it's possible to find someone better. Why do you have to hang yourself on Feng Lin?"

Chu Nian laughed and said, "I didn't hang myself, I was strangled by Chang Fenglin."

Chen Baiying looked over in horror and saw the stunning woman opposite her with her lips raised, but her smile was unusually cold, which made her feel even colder.

She swallowed hard, and finally mustered her courage to say, "But Feng Lin said that you... you hanged yourself."

Chu Nian chuckled softly and said, "You said it yourself, with my qualifications, I can find someone better. Since he's married to you, then our engagement can be dissolved. Why would I hang myself?"

Chen Baiying turned away, not wanting to face Chu Nian directly. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't believe Feng Lin would kill someone, especially his own childhood sweetheart... It's impossible. You must have hanged yourself, not been strangled by him, it wasn't... Waaah..."

She buried her face in the armrest of the sofa and started crying.

Zhou Qianqian stood to the side, completely dumbfounded: The conversation between these two on the sofa is so mesmerizing!

After a long while, Zhou Qianqian pointed at Chu Nian with some disbelief and asked, "You...you're already dead?"

Chu Nian: "As I just said, after I died, Chang Fenglin sent me to Zhang Pengju of the Corpse Witch Sect to refine my corpse. My soul was also locked in this body. Now I have become a zombie, but in fact I am no different from a living person."

Zhou Qianqian's eyes darted around for a while before she seemed to realize something, and she said in a trembling voice, "So, zombies are... are corpses?!"

Chu Nian: "Yes!"

Zhou Qianqian's rosy face instantly turned deathly pale, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and her lips turned purple.

"I...I...I'm home," Zhou Qianqian said in a trembling voice. However, she was wearing high heels and was so scared that her legs were shaking. She lost her balance and twisted her ankle, falling directly to the ground.

The housekeeper and servants weren't in the hall at the moment. Chen Baiying was sobbing uncontrollably, leaning on the sofa armrest. Chu Nian had no interest in paying attention to this spoiled young lady who had just pointed at her and scolded her. She had no choice but to push herself up, take off her high heels, and limp towards the hall entrance.
