Zhang Zhe subconsciously clenched the glass in his hand, swallowed, and continued, "When we climbed halfway up the mountain, we suddenly saw a red sedan chair at the fork in the road ahead. It was the kind that brides used to ride in during weddings in ancient times."
Qin Can paused flipping through the menu, turned his head to look at him, his eyes widening involuntarily, and guessed: "Shit, are you guys going to meet some ghost bride?!"
Zhang Zhe shook his head. "No, not really. Everyone was quite scared at the time, and I couldn't help myself. Out of curiosity, I walked over and lifted the curtain, but luckily there was nothing inside."
He paused and continued, "The strangest thing was that it was a sunny afternoon, but suddenly the sun disappeared and it became gloomy. There were bamboo forests on both sides of the fork in the road, and out of nowhere, white fog suddenly filled the air. We were so scared when we saw it that we quickly turned around and walked back."
Li Shu's eyes flickered slightly, her arms resting on the table, her chin lazily supported by her slender, cold white hands, and she said slowly, "Did you receive anything after you came back?"
Zhang Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he came to his senses and couldn't hide the shock in his eyes and eyebrows. "How did you know?"
"I already told you he's a master." Qin Can tapped the table with his fingers and reminded him, "Also, be respectful and call him Master Li!"
He paused, then continued, "So what did you receive after you returned?"
Zhang Zhe now really began to believe that Li Shu was possessed by something. "After we got down the mountain, we didn't take it too seriously. Since it was still early, we simply had a meal together and then went to the Blue Mountain Club to play for a while before we went our separate ways."
Qin Can's eyelids twitched. "No, can you get to the point?"
"Sorry." Zhang Zhe coughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and continued, "Then I returned home that night and found a red wedding invitation on the table in my room. The bride's name wasn't on it, but the groom's name was fucking mine!"
"I later asked the maids at home, and they all said that apart from cleaning my room in the morning, no one had entered or left since then, so this wedding invitation must have appeared out of nowhere!"
Qin Can raised his eyebrows. "Without surveillance, we can't trust everything the servants say. Could this be a prank?"
"The following is the main point I want to talk about." Zhang Zhe's eyes were covered with a layer of fear. "At the time, I thought it was a prank, so I ignored it and threw the wedding invitation into the trash can in the living room downstairs. But when I woke up this morning, I found that wedding invitation appeared on the table in my room again!"
"The most frightening thing is that a name actually appeared in the bride's name column. I can guarantee that it wasn't there at first!"
"No, are you sure it's not a prank by your nanny or servants?" Qin Can said.
Zhang Zhe frowned, "They must be brave enough to do that. Besides, I haven't treated them harshly before."
Qin Can raised his hand to signal the waiter, who handed him the menu. After confirming the dishes he had ordered, he looked up at the girl sitting opposite him and asked, "Master Li, what do you think?"
Li Shu leaned back slightly, leaning casually on the back of the chair, "Did you bring the wedding invitation with you?"
Zhang Zhe shook his head upon hearing this. "Master Li, I wouldn't dare carry this with me. I simply tore it up and flushed it down the toilet. Then I asked the girl to come over here for dinner."
Li Shu tilted her head, her black pupils clear as the bottom, and said slowly: "Don't worry, it will be on your desk when you go back later."
Zhang Zhe: “…”
Qin Can laughed a little immorally, and accidentally met Li Shu's eyes. He clenched his fist, put it to his lips, coughed twice, and said seriously, "Master Li, what's going on with him? Is it related to that red sedan chair?"
Zhang Zhe looked at Li Shu nervously, "Yes, Master Li, is it because I lifted the curtain? I asked other people, and nothing strange happened to them, except me..."
Li Shu nodded, her face expressionless and nonchalant. "It's indeed related to the red sedan chair. Luckily you met me today, otherwise you would have had to ride in the sedan chair tonight and become the bridegroom of that female ghost."
Zhang Zhe: “…”
"Oh my god, this is so exciting. Could this be the legendary ghost marriage or ghost peach blossom?" Qin Can teased without thinking too much.
"Master Li, what should I do now? As long as you can help me, I am willing to pay you any amount of money." Zhang Zhe clasped his hands together and completely entrusted his life to Li Shu.
"Don't worry, I'm here, so it won't be a big problem." Li Shu raised her chin slightly, "As for the money, since you're Qin Can's friend, you can give it as you see fit."
Zhang Zhe finally felt relieved when he heard Li Shu say that. He turned to look at Qin Can beside him and said, "Brother Can, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Qin Can didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and made the number two.
Zhang Zhe nodded, "Okay, two million, right? No problem!"
Qin Can curled his lips, "What two million, twenty million!"
Zhang Zhe scratched his hair, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "Brother Can, I can't take out so much at once..."
Qin Can glanced at him sideways and said, "Ask your father for it. Just tell me whether your life is worth 20 million."
Zhang Zhe agreed with this and said, "Okay! Then 20 million!"
Li Shu picked up the glass and took a sip of water, then pressed down the corners of her mouth that were turned up. Originally, she estimated the price in her mind to be only a few million, but she didn't expect that Qin Can would actually help her raise it to 20 million.
Although this guy is sometimes stupid, he is still useful at critical moments.
Li Shu spun the glass, her knuckles tinged with red, her deep eyes dark and clear, her tone soothing and cool, "Qin Can and I will come to your house before 12 o'clock tonight, you just need to take us to your room then."
"Master Li, you mean that my life is not in danger for the time being, right?" Zhang Zhe asked.
Li Shu nodded slightly, "Yes."
Zhang Zhe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine. I plan to stay by your side forever."
He paused, took out his phone from his pocket, and continued, "Master Li, let's add each other on WeChat."
Li Shu hummed, picked up the phone beside her, clicked on the WeChat QR code, and then turned the phone screen towards him, "Scan me."
Seeing this, Zhang Zhe quickly scanned her QR code with his phone, "Master Li, please give me your consent."
Li Shu: "Okay."
"By the way, should I transfer the money directly to your bank card or write you a check?" Zhang Zhe asked.
Li Shu thought for a moment and said, "I'll send you a bank card later."
It seems that she still needs to take the time to apply for a bank card, otherwise it will be inconvenient to receive such large sums of money in the future. If it is a check, she will have to go to the bank to exchange it, which is also troublesome.
Zhang Zhe nodded, "Okay."
