Chapter 834 Family Status
Xiao Jihui knew these people's thoughts better than anyone else. These guys often cursed them behind their backs, calling them aliens, cancer, and dangerous elements.
They are now humbling themselves to ask for their help, firstly because they are truly terrified, and secondly because, as Xiao Jihui just said, being struck by lightning has never been a good omen since ancient times.
In broad daylight, the lightning struck only a few people, causing such a commotion.
Fortunately, most of these people lived in their own houses, so the lightning strike was quite accurate, and no one was harmed.
But the people nearby could see it very clearly and knew what had happened to their family.
In just two days, people in the neighborhood were saying that they must have done something heinous that even the heavens couldn't stand it and sent lightning to strike them down.
People care about their reputation, and how can they save face after being spoken to like that? They can only hope that Xiao Jihui's people can go and eliminate the evil spirits, and attribute all of this to the work of evil people, rather than divine retribution.
It's a pity, they are destined to have only hope.
If it were truly just God avenging His own daughter, there would be no way anything bad would have been left at the scene.
Xiao Jihui instructed the people who went to explain the truth in order to completely shatter their illusions.
At that time, Ye Wanxi had no idea that after Xiao Jieyun, who loved waterproofing, left, he would stand up for her and be especially protective of her.
She and Feng Tianyu didn't have many scenes in the movie. Originally, only a week was reserved for filming, but during the filming process, the screenwriter's inspiration kept coming.
What should have been a week-long shoot was stretched into half a month.
If the crew hadn't reminded the screenwriter, adding more scenes might have turned the two into supporting characters, stealing the spotlight from the leads. If other actors' fans found out later, they would have been criticized for adding scenes and would have ganged up on them.
The screenwriter, still feeling unsatisfied, put down his pen, giving the two a perfect ending where they could retire into seclusion once again.
On the day filming wrapped, Feng's mother specially ordered a large table of delicious food to celebrate for the two of them. Du Yihuan and Han Yue also came along.
Du Yihuan was overjoyed to see Ye Wanxi and immediately pulled her to sit next to Madam Feng, leaving the two grown men aside.
“Sister-in-law, your burn medicine is really effective. Linshan said that after using it for a month, her burns were almost completely healed. Now she’s using another ointment, and the effect is also very obvious. When I went to see her a couple of days ago, her face was much better, and I could vaguely see some of her previous facial features.”
What Du Yihuan didn't mention was that when she arrived, Qiu Linshan's ex-boyfriend was also there.
So, she didn't actually go and act like a third wheel; she just glanced at the two of them from afar, greeted the Qiu family, and then returned.
Qiu Linshan and her ex-boyfriend were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Before Qiu Linshan's accident, the two were considered a perfect match by their elders, and they were already engaged and about to get married.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Linshan soon encountered such a tragedy. Although she survived, she was neither human nor ghost, and her life was worse than death.
After that, Qiu Linshan even attempted suicide several times, but her ex-boyfriend never gave up on her and never looked down on her because of her disfigurement.
The reason he became her ex-boyfriend was because Qiu Linshan couldn't accept appearing in front of the person she loved in such a terrible way, so she unilaterally pushed him away and broke up with him.
In reality, Qiu Linshan's boyfriend has never let go of this relationship over the years and has remained single.
Everyone knew he was waiting for her, waiting for her to open her heart to him again, and also waiting for a miracle.
Fortunately, heaven did not let down those who persevere. Qiu Linshan waited for this miracle, and so did her boyfriend.
Ye Wanxi was quite happy to hear Du Yihuan say that: "It's good that it's useful. I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to find time to visit her. I'll go see her when I have some free time."
Ye Wanxi had a pretty good impression of Qiu Linshan and her family. Initially, it was Qiu Linshan's aunt who met and negotiated with her. Later, after confirming that Qiu Linshan's injuries could be treated, Qiu Linshan's family paid a special and formal visit to her.
They were a very kind couple, their slightly weathered faces bearing the marks of the distress they had endured over the years because of Qiu Linshan's situation.
Even so, they never gave up on their daughter and did everything they could for her.
Such a relationship is undoubtedly enviable and admirable.
"Yes, Linshan and the others will be so happy to know you're going. By the way, sister-in-law, do you still have that face mask mud and perfume from before?"
Upon hearing this, Feng's mother couldn't sit still any longer and immediately joined the conversation: "I was just about to ask that too, Wanxi, the perfume you gave me last time, I've almost finished it..."
"I finished making the perfume a few days ago. I originally wanted to send it to you, Auntie, right away, but I got held up by some things and couldn't send it."
"It's alright, it's alright. The important matter is more important. Auntie can wait."
"I'll send it to you later. I also have some newly made lip rouge. I don't know if you'll like it, so I'll send some to you and Yihuan first. If you like it, I'll make more for you."
"Oh my, they've even released a new product!" Mrs. Feng's eyes lit up immediately. "Wanxi, you're so capable."
"You flatter me, Auntie."
Seeing that the two women in the house were both doting on Ye Wanxi, while the two grown men stood coldly and ignored across the way.
Han Yue couldn't help but nudge Feng Tianyu, gloating, "Looks like your status in the family will drop again once your sister-in-law marries into the family."
Feng Tianyu glanced at him indifferently and chuckled, "Even if Yuanyuan isn't officially married into the family, her status in this household is much higher than mine. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself."
"Me? What do I have to worry about?"
Feng Tianyu looked him up and down, then said with a half-smile, "No matter how low my status is in this family, it will definitely be a little higher than yours."
Han Yue: "..." He was so angry, yet he seemed unable to refute it!
After the meal, everyone was happy, and Feng Tianyu was responsible for escorting Ye Wanxi back.
Originally, I thought it wasn't too late outside, so we could go for a drive together while I was dropping him off.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wanxi's phone rang as soon as the two got into the car.
"Bai Haoqi?" Ye Wanxi was somewhat surprised. After this young master Bai recovered, the two of them did not have much interaction.
The last time they met was during an epidemic in the village of Qi Yao's descendants. At that time, Ye Wanxi contacted the Bai family to coordinate the medicinal materials needed for treatment. The person from the Bai family who was in charge of contacting her was this young master Bai.
