"Haunted?"
Jiang Wanyan was surprised, recalling what Sheng Shanshan had said before about not investing too much in the early stages, and also remembering that when the store opened yesterday, no one except Liu Yao wanted to come into the store to take a look.
Obviously many people were curious and wanted to come in to take a look, but in the end no one came in.
Now after hearing what Ge Yan said, Jiang Wanyan finally understood why no one came in. It was a haunted shop, so it was good enough that they didn't avoid it.
"What's the deal with it being haunted? Has anything happened here before?"
Ge Yan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure either."
Jiang Wanyan said with a smile: "Just tell me what you know, and you can tell me if you are not sure whether it is true or not."
Ge Yan nodded and said to Jiang Wanyan, "This shop was last opened ten years ago. At that time, I was studying in another province..."
This shop used to be a steamed bun shop, and its business has always been good. Anyone who grew up in this place knows it.
The bun shop is run by a couple who have a son. The wife is capable, the boss is honest, and the son is outstanding. They are a model family in the eyes of others.
Later one day the shop was closed, and when Ge Yan returned home for the winter break she found out that the bun shop was closed.
I heard from others that the boss's wife ran away with someone else and his newly-adult son ran away from home, so the boss locked himself in the store for a week and then quietly left one night without telling anyone.
Everyone sighed over this family and accused the proprietress of being fickle and destroying a good family.
After the boss left, some people said that they often heard noises inside the bun shop, as if someone was knocking on the door.
It lasted for about a week, and then there were no more sounds, but the news of the haunting spread.
No one dared to rent this shop, so it has been empty ever since.
When the people in the Sheng family saw that no one wanted the shop that the young man had been fighting for, they thought about it and gave it to Sheng Shanshan, saying that they did not favor boys over girls and gave her a shop.
Sheng Shanshan was almost driven crazy at the time and was about to tear down the shop with a hammer.
Sheng Shanshan has a cousin, a cousin, not a biological brother. The cousin quickly told the people in the Sheng family to stop Sheng Shanshan from demolishing the shop.
The Sheng family had originally agreed to give the shop to the cousin, but now it was haunted. The cousin didn't dare to take it, but he didn't want Sheng Shanshan to be happy, so he deliberately made trouble.
The Sheng family could see that their cousin was making trouble, but even if they saw it, what did it matter? They still allowed him to bully her.
Sheng Shanshan was also angry. She didn't care about the store anymore. It didn't matter whether it was rented out or not. She was not short of money.
Ge Yan started talking about the Sheng family from the bun shop. Seeing that she wanted to continue, Jiang Wanyan said helplessly, "That's enough. No need to say so much."
Ge Yan realized what she had said and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I haven't chatted with anyone in a long time, so I talked too much."
Jiang Wanyan was still thinking about the haunted incident. She calmly took Ge Yan out of the store and changed the subject, asking, "Is there no one chatting with you?"
"Yes," Ge Yan said with a wry smile, "but we were all talking about the children. No one wanted to talk about the bun shop."
"Many people think the place is haunted because the boss' wife ran away and the boss is resentful, so it's haunted."
Jiang Wanyan was a little scared at first, but when she heard that the boss was holding a grudge, she couldn't help but say, "The boss is fine and alive. If he has a grudge, then he has a grudge. How could he turn into a ghost?"
"That's true, but there are some things that we would rather believe than not believe."
Whether they were old or young at the time, everyone believed the rumor, which led to the store not being rented out for so many years.
Jiang Wanyan looked at the carefully decorated store. It was clean and the colors were warm, which made people want to stay in.
But combined with what Ge Yan said, Jiang Wanyan suddenly felt a little weird.
She was silent for a moment, then asked Ge Yan, "Since you believe in ghosts, why do you still dare to come to work here?"
Ge Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If I had no choice, I wouldn't come here."
She's not wanted anywhere else.
I discussed this with my husband yesterday. When he heard that the dessert shop was a former bun shop, he was a little hesitant, but he couldn't bear to discourage Ge Yan's enthusiasm, so he agreed to let her come here to work and try.
With the opportunity to work and her husband's support, Ge Yan had no reason not to seize it.
"It's okay," Jiang Wanyan said, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or Ge Yan. "It's been so long. Even if there are ghosts, they should have been reincarnated."
Since she assumed that ghosts existed, she also followed this assumption and assumed that ghosts were reincarnated.
Seeing Jiang Wanyan was a little nervous, Ge Yan laughed and said, "Why are you scared too?"
Jiang Wanyan coughed lightly and said, "I'm not afraid."
I just feel a little uneasy. Anyone would feel uncomfortable knowing that the place where they work has been haunted.
Superstitious people would pack up and run away that same day, not even think about staying.
Some desserts need to be made on the same day, so Jiang Wanyan goes back to the kitchen to make new ones, while Ge Yan stays outside to familiarize herself with the desserts and their prices.
When it got dark, Ge Yan said she was going back. Jiang Wanyan remembered that she hadn't seen Xinxin all day and asked in confusion, "Isn't Xinxin coming today?"
Ge Yan said, "Her father is off today, so he took her out to play."
Jiang Wanyan nodded and said, "If you want a cake, pick one and take it back."
Ge Yan didn't hesitate and took a small cake. Before leaving, she asked worriedly, "Can you go back alone?"
"Sure, don't worry."
After Ge Yan left, Jiang Wanyan closed the door and ran out of the store quickly, as if there was something invisible behind her.
She turned on the flashlight on her phone, locked the door, and unknowingly got goosebumps all over her body.
The people on the road disappeared without a trace. Jiang Wanyan rubbed her arms and her breathing became much lighter.
She was worried that the road back was dark and she would think too much, so she wanted to take a taxi back. She took out her cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and then called Xi Chenzhu.
Xi Chenzhu was a little surprised when he received her call and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wanyan asked embarrassedly: "Can you send someone to take me home?"
People in the suburbs probably don’t pay much attention to trending searches, so no one knows her identity yet.
It is hard for people who often travel between the suburbs and the city center not to know who she is.
She almost had "I am Xi Chenzhu's flash marriage wife" written on her forehead.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Wanyan still thought it would be better to ask someone she knew to pick her up.
Xi Chenzhu may have thought of this and agreed without asking any further questions.
"You wait."
Jiang Wanyan stood on the side of the road, intentionally or unintentionally moving away from the store behind her.
She didn't wait long. When she saw a familiar car approaching, she was stunned for a moment and jogged to the slowly stopped car.
Xi Chenzhu rolled down the window and said to her, "Get in the car."
