Chapter 421 Everything in the Dream
Director Jiao nodded in deep agreement.
This kind of life-saving device should be carried with you at all times, because when an accident happens, it doesn't matter whether you're eating, sleeping, or taking a shower.
“Okay, I’ll go back and buy a case to put it in and send it to my son so he can wear it every day.”
Seeing the way he was so happy clutching the amulet, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh. She said casually, "Since the place you live in isn't very safe, try not to go out unless necessary."
Director Jiao paused, instinctively feeling that Ye Wanxi's words had a hidden meaning.
"Even if you need to go out, don't go east."
Director Jiao's expression changed slightly: "You..."
Director Jiao wanted to ask more, and other people who were already interested in the amulet and had plenty of money also gathered around again, buying one or two out of respect for Director Jiao.
Director Jiao swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, gripped the talisman in his hand tightly, and dared not wait any longer. He hurriedly ran to the side to call his wife.
The crew members didn't make a fuss for too long. Ye Wanxi quickly sold most of the talismans she had on her hand and retired with her mission accomplished.
At that moment, Yun Youna approached mysteriously and called out like a parrot, "Wanxi, Wanxi..."
Ye Wanxi turned to look at her: "What's wrong? Do you also want to buy a good luck charm?"
"No, no, no, I just wanted to ask..."
"Um?"
"Do you have any quick-learning talismans, the kind that you can stick on and learn anything? If not, any talisman that can temporarily ease stiffness in the bones will also work. I really don't want to stretch anymore. These past few days, after filming, my whole body aches, and my limbs don't even feel like my own. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll become paralyzed before I'm old. Sister, sis, please save me!"
"..."
Ye Wanxi was speechless for a moment, then said with a heavy heart, "You should... go wash up and go to sleep."
"ha?"
"Anything can happen in dreams."
Yun Youna: "..."
Taking shortcuts is impossible, absolutely impossible. The film crew of "Jianghu" continues filming in an orderly manner amidst someone's desperate screams of despair.
Meanwhile, Qi Xiaolian and her companion had already been staying at Ye Wanxi's place for several days.
After a few days, Qi Xiaolian's acne had completely disappeared, and she didn't encounter any more unpleasant things. She ate and drank well at Ye Wanxi's place and even gained a few pounds.
“Miss Ye, the scabs on my back are gone. Does that mean that the connection between me and my cousin that you mentioned before is over?”
Ye Wanxi glanced at Qi Xiaolian's back, where the skin had returned to normal, and nodded, saying, "Yes, the disappearance of the ghost face sores means your problem has been resolved. As for your cousin, the better you recover, the greater the backlash she will suffer. Has she contacted you recently?"
“I haven’t been in contact with him, but my mom said that my uncle went back home a couple of days ago and even came to my house for a while, asking my parents about me.”
"What do you want to ask?"
"They asked me why I wasn't home, and they also asked about my health. They said they heard I hadn't been feeling well lately and had been to the hospital several times, so they brought some supplements to help me recover."
If Qi Xiaolian didn't know the truth, she might have been moved by her uncle's sudden show of goodwill. But now that she knows the truth, she sees his actions as nothing more than a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions.
Sure enough, one should be wary of relatives who are usually estranged from each other suddenly becoming overly attentive; you never know when you might fall into their trap.
"What did your parents say?"
“I had told them beforehand not to tell them about my situation. I only said that I was not feeling well and that the medical conditions in the small hospital in the county were limited, so I came to the big city with Brother Qiang to ask his sister for help. My mother said that as soon as my uncle heard that I had come to the city to find Brother Qiang’s sister, he immediately asked for my address.”
"It's quite a coincidence that my uncle's family lives in the next city. It only takes two or three hours to drive here."
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "In that case, she should come to find you soon."
As if to verify Ye Wanxi's words, Qi Xiaolian's phone rang right after she finished speaking.
All eyes in the room turned to her. Qi Xiaolian's expression changed drastically after seeing the caller ID, and she looked at Ye Wanxi in a panic.
"Take it, let her come, don't go over there."
Qi Xiaolian nodded, took a deep breath, turned on the speakerphone, and answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Xiaolian, it's me, it's my cousin." Qi Yanjiao's voice on the other end of the phone sounded weak and powerless, not at all like her usual arrogant and spirited self.
Qi Xiaolian naturally noticed this as well, but she felt only satisfaction. The suffering she had endured and the worries of her parents and relatives should have been borne by this person!
"Oh, it's my cousin. What's up?"
"I heard you haven't been feeling well lately and even went to the hospital in City A. Are you feeling better now? Is it serious?"
“I’m much better now. It wasn’t a serious illness to begin with. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and I’m staying with Brother Qiang and Sister Qiang now. I should be able to go home after resting for a couple more days. I’m sorry to have worried you, cousin.”
Qi Yanjiao remained silent for a long time after hearing what she said.
Qi Xiaolian guessed that she was probably gritting her teeth on the other end of the phone, cursing herself for not dying sooner.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaolian's eyes became even more mocking, but she didn't urge her, and just quietly waited for her to continue.
Fortunately, Qi Yanjiao didn't keep her waiting too long.
"It's good that you're alright. It just so happens that City A is quite close to my home. Xiao Lian, you've probably never been to my house before, right? Why don't you come over and sit for a while before you go back?"
Upon hearing Qi Yanjiao's words, the expressions of the group all changed. This woman really did want to lure Qi Xiaolian to her house to do something bad!
Ye Wanxi gestured to Qi Xiaolian, instructing her to repeat what she had just told her.
Qi Xiaolian pursed her lips, trying her best to keep her tone calm so that Qi Yanjiao wouldn't notice anything amiss.
"I really want to go, but I haven't recovered yet and it's really not suitable for me to travel back and forth. Maybe I should wait until next time."
Qi Xiaolian paused, then added with a mischievous glint in her eye, "With transportation so convenient now, there will always be opportunities in the future."
Given Qi Yanjiao's current situation, it's really hard to say whether she'll have a future.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard an obvious gasp from the other end of the phone.
A moment later, Qi Yanjiao's voice came out again, faintly revealing a hint of anger.
"It was my oversight. You're sick; how could I let you go through all that trouble to come see me? I should be the one visiting you."
"This...won't this be too much trouble for you, cousin? I'm actually much better now and have been discharged from the hospital, so there's no need for a visit."
Qi Yanjiao almost gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, "Since you're much better, why didn't you come when I invited you? What's with the airs!"
