Chapter 15 There is really a ghost
How did things get to this point?
He chewed numbly and swallowed the food in his mouth. Cheng Lei's eyes were dull, and next to him was Teng An who kept urging Qin Qinsen to eat more.
Cheng Lei was like an eating robot, he only knew how to eat, his brain was frozen and unable to process complex information.
He recognized the man who rushed in with the lunch box—the second son of the Teng Group, who was now circling Qin Qinsen like a fool. Qin Qinsen, on the other hand, chewed his food slowly and looked more like a rich young man who had received a strict etiquette education than Teng An.
"Eat the dishes. What's the point of just eating rice?" Qin Qinsen pushed the plate towards Cheng Lei, signaling him to pick up some dishes.
Noticing that Cheng Lei's eyes were wandering and occasionally fell on the teapot, Qin Qinsen laughed and said, "Don't look at it. The little devil you caught by chance can't escape. Just eat your meal without worry."
Hearing this, Cheng Lei came back to his senses instantly.
Little devil?
Is there really a ghost?
Even Teng An could see his doubts and immediately swallowed the lotus root in his mouth. "Hey, I'm telling you, don't disbelieve me. Even though Xiao Qinqin is in the hospital now, he was saved by a hero... a hero! Without him, I wouldn't be standing here in good health now!"
As he spoke, Teng An puffed out his chest and patted it loudly, as if he was the one being praised, not Qin Qinsen. He then lifted Qin Qinsen's arm and motioned Cheng Lei to look over. "Do you see this wound? Such a large area must have been scratched by a ghost. To save me, he used his flesh and blood to block the evil ghost..."
Teng An spoke vividly and was about to give a detailed description when Qin Qinsen suddenly pulled back his hand, interrupting Teng An's spell.
Putting down his chopsticks, Qin Qinsen said to Cheng Lei, "From what you described, there is a ghost haunting my aunt at my sister-in-law's house."
Without giving Cheng Lei time to react, Qin Qinsen patted the bed and shrugged helplessly, "I'm afraid I have to ask them to come over."
"But, but..." Cheng Lei hesitated, "Isn't it enough to just take a talisman?"
Qin Qinsen chuckled, his eyes deep, staring at Cheng Lei so hard that he looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.
Teng An thought that Cheng Lei didn't believe it, so he joined in and kept urging him to call people over, and even called the driver. After asking for the address, he dragged Cheng Lei along and set off.
Shaking his head in amusement, Qin Qinsen leaned back on the bed and said, "Boss Huang, why haven't you come in yet? Are you waiting for me to greet you?"
"How dare we let the wounded get out of bed?" Boss Huang, a cigarette between his ears, pushed open the door. "He's quite popular. Where's the stuff?"
Following Qin Qinsen's gaze towards the teapot, Boss Huang's expression froze for a moment.
"Just... forget it." As he said this, he took out a stack of yellow paper with corners folded due to obvious improper storage and a pen from his arms, and then took out three lighters from his trouser pocket.
Qin Qinsen was dissatisfied, "That's it?"
It was in vain that he had such high expectations, but in return he only got such a small amount of results.
"You bastard, wait for me to go back and inspect the rest."
"I help you?"
"No need." Boss Huang looked disdainful, but he quickly gathered up the leftovers and held them in his hands. "You should take good care of yourself. There's a job next week, and you have to crawl over there even if you have to."
Qin Qinsen watched Huang Baopi leave in disbelief until he was woken up by Teng An. Qin Qinsen, still in shock, didn't even open his eyes, but opened his mouth and blurted out - "Huang Baopi!"
"What?"
Facing Teng An's puzzled expression, Qin Qinsen blinked, glanced at the other three people, refused Teng An's intention to help, and sat up by himself.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Qin Qinsen was already good-looking, and at this moment his face was full of smiles, which dazzled Yu Jinglan so much that she opened her mouth but didn't know how to make a sound.
Without waiting for them to speak, Qin Qinsen said to the woman next to Jinglan, "Auntie has always been good at exercising and staying healthy. It's just that she recently got involved in something unclean, which caused her to be unable to sleep at night and even lost consciousness and sleepwalk for no reason."
Upon hearing this, Yu's mother immediately came to the bedside and said, "Young man, you think there's something wrong, right? I told them the house wasn't clean, but they all said I was too tired during the day and told me to stop working and rest at home."
"Auntie's career is very beneficial to her and will not bring any negative impact on her health. Your current career will allow you to reach a higher level." Qin Qinsen was a little amused and helpless when Ren Yu's mother grabbed his hand. Just as he was about to say something else, he felt his eyes getting hot, and Yu's mother's life was completely imprinted in his mind.
Born into a farming family, she lost her father at the age of seven and her mother at the age of ten, and grew up living at various homes with her younger siblings. Her younger sister drowned when she was sixteen, and her middle brother, a man of violent temper, got into an argument with a classmate in middle school and wounded him, ruining his own career.
Yu's mother thought her younger brother had reformed, but she didn't expect him to learn all sorts of thieving tricks in prison, even sneaking into the Yu family home to steal valuables. While searching for valuables, he was caught by his father, who suddenly returned home. He immediately grabbed a nearby fruit knife and stabbed him...
There was a constant warmth in his eyes, and Yu's mother's past experiences were like an open book, allowing Qin Qinsen to read it.
Qin Qinsen closed his eyes, his eyeballs moving constantly, trying to suppress the ability to pry into other people's privacy.
The old Taoist said it well, practicing the art of knowing people is not to pry into their privacy, but to help others better avoid risks. You must never rely on various techniques to satisfy your own improper desires.
The strange warmth in his eyes seemed to sense Qin Qinsen's thoughts and instantly cooled down, and all the details that Yu's mother had experienced in her life faded away.
There was only one sentence left in Qin Qinsen's mind: After all the hardship comes happiness, but meeting the wrong person is a blessing or a curse?
When he opened his eyes again, Teng An and the others were normal. Yu's mother was still holding his hand, and Yu Jinglan leaned against Cheng Lei, her body language full of dependence. Cheng Lei looked between Qin Qinsen and Yu's mother, his eyes unclear. Teng An, on the other hand, was still looking at Qin Qinsen expectantly, his face full of "Master, please begin the performance."
It only took a few breaths to read the story of Yu's mother's almost half life?
Putting aside his doubts, Qin Qinsen took Yu Mu's hand and revealed his palm. "Before middle age, the family fortune is not smooth and the financial luck is mediocre. At thirty-five, the fortune will rise and the career will become stronger and stronger until it enters a stable period at forty-six."
"I'm overjoyed, but there's also a hidden setback. Auntie has some good news recently."
Yu's mother turned 46 this year, and the company's development had indeed entered a stable period, no longer rising one or even several steps a year like in the past few years. Qin Qinsen had been talking about something that was just right, but he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned "good news."
"Mom, have you been in touch with Uncle Zeng again? I told you he approached you with ulterior motives! Master, please help my mom and see if it's Uncle Zeng who's causing trouble?" Yu Jinglan, who lived with her mother day and night, knew her mother all too well. Seeing her eyebrows raised slightly and the corners of her mouth drooping, what else could she not understand? Qin Qinsen must be right!
Unexpectedly, Qin Qinsen just let go of Yu's mother's hand and said softly, "No hurry."
"Miss Yu comes from a single-parent family, but she's never been wronged. She's cheerful and lively, a bit naive, and popular, but it's a shame she's hard to find a good partner. Auntie, without anyone to rely on, raised you all by herself, so it's natural that she has a strong personality. Although I'm not entirely satisfied with your boyfriend, I've never stopped you from dating."
"Senior, am I right?"
