Chapter 789 Are you full?
Dou Hong's face was very ugly, but he quickly calmed down and forced a smile: "The two ladies are really good at joking, but this joke has gone a bit too far."
"What a joke, I think they're just talking nonsense and it's disgusting."
Zhao Zhenzhen subconsciously thought that Ye Wanxi and the others were deliberately causing trouble, but Zhao Yun'er believed Ye Wanxi's words without a doubt: "Are you telling the truth? Did he really drive a girl to her death?"
"Zhao Yun'er!" Zhao Zhenzhen felt her hair was about to stand on end, and she felt like she was about to explode at any moment.
"Sister, I know you believe him, but I don't. If he really is such a despicable person, then he's not right for you. We have to get this straight!"
Zhao Zhenzhen was completely deaf to her sister's words at this point. She slammed her hand on the table, her eyes red with anger: "I think you did this on purpose. A few days ago, you inexplicably told me some rumors about cat and dog abuse that you heard from a homeless man. When you couldn't argue with them, you dragged Mom and Dad to help you."
"What I hate most is your shameless behavior of dragging Mom and Dad into everything to smooth things over when you can't solve anything. From childhood to adulthood, haven't you always relied on Mom and Dad's love for you? No matter right or wrong, you're always right, and I always have to give in to you. Just because I'm older than you, just because I'm the older sister, I'm entitled to bear many things that I don't want to do. No one has ever asked me if I'm willing, and no one cares whether I'm happy or not."
"Like today, you knew I was going to bring Ah Hong here, yet you still specially invited this group of half-acquaintances. Wasn't that just to annoy us? You always like to talk to yourself and impose your own ideas on me. You even said you would use witchcraft to force someone to their death? That's hilarious. Only a naive person like you would believe such obviously deceptive words."
"If Ah Hong is really so heinous, why did no one discover his evil deeds? If he's really that bad, why does everyone who's come into contact with him speak well of him? I don't think the problem is with him; the problem is with you!"
Zhao Zhenzhen's outburst of emotion caught Zhao Yun'er somewhat off guard.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say that everyone who had met him said he was good, but that was because he pretended to be good, not because he was actually good.
But the words wouldn't come out. Even though she knew they might not have meant it, they still inevitably hurt her.
Li Guangjun clearly noticed this as well, and frowned slightly: "Zhenzhen, calm down. We didn't mean to cause trouble, we were just worried about you."
"Worried about me? Just because you're worried about me, you can slander people at will?"
Dou Hong had calmed down by now. Hearing Zhao Zhenzhen defend him like this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he comforted her instead: "Mr. Li is right, Zhenzhen, calm down first. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? You can't just say things like that!"
Seeing that Dou Hong calmed down so quickly, Ye Wanxi could roughly guess what he was thinking. She chuckled and said, "Do you think you've done this cleanly, leaving no evidence? That girl is already dead, there's no way she can come back to life and testify against you?"
Dou Hong froze, and for some reason, when he met Ye Wanxi's insightful gaze, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, a strange coldness creeping over him.
"Don't go too far..." Zhao Zhenzhen's temper flared up again upon hearing this. Just as she was about to stand up for Dou Hong, she heard a slap.
Only then did everyone notice that Qi Yao had put down her chopsticks at some point, elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue, and turned to Ye Wanxi and the others to ask, "Are you full?"
Everyone: "???"
Is this the time to ask people if they've eaten enough? This is almost turning into a fight!
"I'm full." Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Yao simply assumed they agreed, tossed the tissue aside, and said seriously, "You guys handle that girl's matter, I'll take care of my own first."
Zhao Yun'er was a little confused and asked, "Wh...what's going on?"
Qi Yao raised her hand and pointed at Zhao Zhenzhen: "Aren't you going to remove the Gu from her body?"
Zhao Yun'er's eyes brightened slightly: "It can be taken out? Will my sister be alright if it's taken out? What kind of curse did he cast on my sister?"
"She used a 'magic spell' on your sister."
"Epileptic Gu? What is that?"
Qi Yao stared at Zhao Zhenzhen and said in a deep voice, "Ancient books say that the Zhuang people bury snakes in the soil and extract fungi to poison people. This will cause them to become dizzy and unpredictable, laughing and cursing. If they drink alcohol, the poison will take effect, and they will become angry, fierce and uncontrollable. This is called epilepsy."
"It means that in the past, people in a certain place would bury snakes in the soil, and after the snakes decomposed, they would take the poisonous fungus from the corpses and put it into people. This was called 'epilepsy gu'. People who were infected with this gu were prone to dizziness, mood swings, and would suddenly laugh uncontrollably from time to time. Especially after drinking alcohol, the gu poison would take effect, and the infected person would easily lose control of their emotions, become extremely fierce, and be like 'going mad'."
As soon as Qi Yao finished speaking, everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to Zhao Zhenzhen.
Zhao Zhenzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"I bet she drank alcohol when you two had your last argument?"
“This…” Zhao Yun’er turned to look at her parents, and finally seemed to remember something, she gasped, “I remember now, she did drink that day. She said it was a class reunion, and everyone was happy together, so she drank a little. Dou Hong picked her up when she came back.”
He couldn't drive after drinking, so he asked Dou Hong to pick him up. When he returned, Dou Hong didn't go inside, but stood outside for a while.
Zhao Yun'er was eager to tell her sister about the dog abuse, but the person involved was right there, so she had to hold back and wait until they left before telling her sister. That's why she had some recollection of it.
The most outrageous thing was that after that, the two of them had a fight, and her sister called him back with another phone call. He ran away with her, which made Zhao Yun'er very angry.
"Your sister hasn't been under the spell for long, at least she just lost control of her emotions and had an argument with you. If it had lasted longer, it would have been quite normal for her to fight back."
Upon hearing Qi Yao's words, the Zhao family members looked at Zhao Zhenzhen again and had to admit that she was indeed quite emotional today.
They were either shouting and yelling or banging on the table, which was unimaginable before.
Zhao Zhenzhen was furious at the stares of the crowd and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's talking about poison and Gu, I've never even heard of them. She's clearly just making things up to deceive you."
Qi Yao didn't care that she was being treated as a fraud, and said quietly, "People who are afflicted with the epilepsy curse often have rumbling stomachs, even after they've eaten their fill."
