Chapter 786: Not Love Gu
Zhao Yun'er, who went out to pick up the person, had no idea that in just a minute or two, the enemy had gained another wave of goodwill and subtly put her down.
When she saw Ye Wanxi and the others, she almost burst into tears on the spot.
"Brother Jun, Miss Ye, you've finally arrived."
Hearing Zhao Yun'er's sobbing voice, Li Guangjun's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? Your sister and that guy are here? What happened? What did he do to you?"
Zhao Yun'er shook her head, feeling defeated. "This man is terrifying. He managed to fool my parents with just a few words. Now they probably believe him and have switched sides."
Li Guangjun was also surprised upon hearing this: "Is he that powerful? What did he say?"
“He said that my sister argued with me and my parents that day because she was too tired from work and was in a bad mood, which caused her to lose control of her emotions. He also said that the homeless man said those things because he had stopped the man from robbing a lone girl before, and the man held a grudge against him and deliberately lied to slander him in revenge.”
“My sister believes him wholeheartedly, and my parents seem to believe him to a large extent as well. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll be the one who doesn’t fit in with this family.”
The feeling of isolation and helplessness that she had just experienced while sitting inside truly chilled Zhao Yun'er to the bone.
She couldn't imagine whether she would have a mental breakdown if she stayed with that man any longer, whether she would be assimilated like everyone else, or whether she would be targeted by others for being too clear-headed and have to flee in panic.
Upon hearing Zhao Yun'er's words, Li Guangjun's expression turned somewhat solemn.
"It's alright, don't be afraid. I've brought Miss Ye and Mr. Feng with me. Miss Ye has also found two other helpers. If he really has a problem, there are always people who can handle him."
"Foreign aid?" Zhao Yun'er then noticed that there were two other people following behind Ye Wanxi.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi touched her nose and said with a strange sense of guilt, "I'm sorry, I was worried that my skills weren't good enough, so I took the liberty of finding an outside helper."
Zhao Yun'er seemed to wake from a dream and quickly waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. The person Miss Ye invited must have extraordinary abilities. We are more than happy to have you come to help."
Ye Wanxi and the other woman noticed that Zhao Yun'er seemed a bit out of sorts, so they stopped exchanging pleasantries and quickly followed the others inside.
When such a large group of people walked in, not only Zhao Zhenzhen and her husband, but even Zhao's parents were startled.
I thought there would only be two or three people, including Li Guangjun, but I didn't expect there to be five or six!
When Dou Hong saw so many people coming in, his eyes immediately fell on Ye Wanxi.
He knew who Ye Wanxi was, and he also knew that Zhao Yun'er and her boyfriend had recently collaborated with the person in front of him on a variety show.
I never expected that Zhao Yun'er would invite people to her home.
The moment Ye Wanxi appeared, Dou Hong already had a guess in his mind: today's scene was probably a trap!
Unlike Dou Hong, who seemed to have a feeling about it, Zhao Zhenzhen's face darkened as soon as she saw Zhao Yun'er leading a large group of people in.
Just as he was about to lash out, his gaze unexpectedly met Qi Yao's. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Zhenzhen? Zhenzhen? What's wrong?" Dou Hong's shoulder was suddenly bumped, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Zhenzhen clutching her chest, her face pale.
Startled, she grabbed the woman and asked, "Where do you feel unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital? I'll take you there right now."
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Dou Hong's mind. If he could go to the hospital now, he could avoid direct contact with these people.
Ye Wanxi and the others clearly realized this as well. Zhao Yun'er's expression changed slightly. On the one hand, she was worried about her sister, and on the other hand, she had a gut feeling that if they were let go like this, she would probably never have another chance to change her family's impression of Dou Hong and save her sister.
Zhao Zhenzhen's discomfort seemed genuine, and her parents were also worried. They searched everywhere for a phone to call for an ambulance to take Zhao Zhenzhen to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenzhen suddenly grabbed Dou Hong, panting as she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a bit tight in my chest, and I want to go inside and rest. Ah Hong, help me to my room to lie down for a while."
Dou Hong's hand, which was supporting her, stiffened slightly, and he said with disapproval, "Are you really alright? If you're not feeling well, you should say so. Physical discomfort can be serious or minor. Why don't we go to the hospital to get it checked out, so that your aunt and uncle won't worry?"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao chimed in, "Dou Hong is right. If we really feel unwell, we should go to the hospital instead of enduring it."
Surprisingly, even though Zhao Zhenzhen was in so much pain, she still refused to go to the hospital.
Even though Zhao's parents felt sorry for her, they couldn't force her. They could only ask Dou Hong to help her into the house to rest. They said she would feel better later, but if she was still in so much pain, she would have to go to the hospital.
Since the parents had already expressed their opinion, Dou Hong couldn't insist any further and had no choice but to help Zhao Zhenzhen into the house.
Zhao Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned her head, she saw that Ye Wanxi and the others looked a little off, especially Qi Yao.
"Did you see anything?"
“It’s not a love potion.” Ye Wanxi had seen a love potion once before.
People afflicted with this type of Gu have a connection between the mother and offspring Gu, and it's immediately noticeable when they stand together.
However, there was no such connection between Zhao Zhenzhen and Dou Hong.
“It’s definitely not a love potion,” Ye Wanxi said, and Qi Yao echoed her.
Zhao Yun'er felt a little disappointed after hearing this. Could it be that she had really misunderstood?
Before she could think further, Qi Yao added, "But she was indeed bewitched."
"What?" Zhao Yun'er exclaimed in surprise, attracting the attention of her parents.
"Yun'er, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... nothing."
Mr. Zhao looked at her suspiciously: "You heard what Dou Hong just said. Why don't we just let this matter go? Consider it an invitation to these friends to come over for dinner later, and we can all have a good chat."
As for what they talked about, it certainly wasn't the kind of talk they were originally going to have.
Zhao Yun'er wanted to say something, but Li Guangjun stopped her.
"Uncle and Aunt, we have something we'd like to discuss, please excuse us for a moment."
After Li Guangjun finished speaking, he led Zhao Yun'er, Ye Wanxi, and the others to the small living room on the other side.
Zhao Yun'er was pulled along for a while, then said angrily, "Why didn't you let me explain things to Mom and Dad?"
"Didn't you see that your parents are already on Dou Hong's side? If you jump out now and tell them that your sister has been bewitched, do you think they'll believe you?"
Zhao Yun'er wanted to say yes. In the past, her parents and sister would believe whatever she said. But when she thought about how Dou Hong's few words had made her parents and sister doubt her words, and even think that she had been deceived and had done something wrong.
The words that were on the tip of my tongue just wouldn't come out.
