"Sister, is everything you're saying true? Are there really ghosts in this world?"
After listening to everything Huang Qing said, Huang Ru began to believe it, because she knew what kind of person her sister was and that she wouldn't lie without evidence.
Huang Qing, tired from talking, took a sip of tea and said, "Well, that female ghost, my husband, Xiao Hai, and I all saw it with our own eyes. You can ask them if you don't believe me. It's true that ghosts exist."
Just as they were talking, Jiang Hu returned with his eldest son, Jiang Yi. As soon as Jiang Hu entered, he saw Huang Ru: "Oh, yes, Ru is here. By the way, how is Xiao Zhan?"
Jiang Yi obediently greeted his aunt, "Auntie, you're here."
Huang Ru smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I just came over to sit for a while. Oh, by the way, your little Nian..."
Jiang Hu and Jiang Yi understood after hearing Huang Ru's words that she also knew about Jiang Nian. Jiang Yi's face remained expressionless, but Jiang Hu's expression was a little unpleasant. After all, this was a mistake he had made in the past, and Jiang Nian was a result of his mistake.
Huang Qing understood what Jiang Hu was thinking. She pulled Huang Ru aside and said, "Hey, let's not talk about that anymore. After all, Jiang Nian's mother is dead now. Let's talk about Xiao Zhan instead."
Jiang Hu was also worried that his sister-in-law would blame him for not treating her sister well, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Yes, tell me how Xiao Zhan has been lately."
Hearing them change the subject, Huang Ru realized that her sister didn't want Jiang Hu to lose face, so she said, "Okay, actually, it's like this. After Xiao Zhan was brought back by the police, he kept telling me that he saw some kind of stone monster and a giant flying snake, which made us both very worried that he might have developed delusions. But the hospital check-up showed nothing wrong, so we wanted to ask him about it."
"Stone monsters? And flying snakes? I've only ever seen ghosts, I don't know anything about monsters."
Jiang Hu said, "But our Niannian seems to have some skills. If she really saw a monster, why don't we wait for her to come back and ask her?"
Jiang Yi chimed in, "Well, I think that since ghosts exist in this world, it's normal for monsters to exist too."
Huang Qing also said, "Ah Ru, is there anything wrong with Xiao Zhan's life right now? If he can live a normal life, it might not be delusional disorder. Do you want him to come and stay here for a few days? Niannian will probably be back soon."
“Yes, Niannian has her exams coming up soon, and she should be back in the next few days.” Jiang Hu said, as he sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. “Oh, right, I remember Xiao Zhan is a senior in high school, and so is our Niannian.”
As the group was chatting, a servant came in to report: "Master, Madam, the Third Miss has returned."
Upon hearing this, Huang Qing immediately laughed: "Oh my, it really is true what they say, 'Speak of the devil, and he appears!' I didn't expect him to be back so quickly."
Jiang Yi chimed in, "Yeah, it really is quite a coincidence."
Jiang Hu was a little dissatisfied, but he still had a smile on his face: "What's so quick about it? We've been texting and calling her for days, and she's only just come back now. If we hadn't seen that she was replying to our messages, we would have called the police."
At this moment, Yue Jiu Nian, looking pale and sickly, dragged her backpack in. She greeted her familiar 'family', saying, "Dad, Aunt, Big Brother, I'm back."
As she spoke, she immediately tried to go upstairs to rest. Damn it, the smell in that taxi was absolutely awful. She felt like she was going to throw up as soon as she got out of the car, and now she had a sour face to everyone she met.
When Jiang Hu saw Yue Jiu Nian's appearance, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Niannian, did something happen? Come here, this is your aunt's younger sister, you can call her aunt like your brothers do."
Yue Jiu Nian had actually seen Huang Ru earlier, but didn't know who she was, so she didn't greet her. Now that Jiang Hu had introduced her, she couldn't continue to be impolite, so she obediently greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."
Huang Ru had initially thought Yue Jiu Nian was being a bit impolite for not greeting her, but now that she heard Yue Jiu Nian greet her, she didn't hold it against her anymore. She said calmly, "Hello, you too."
Seeing Yue Jiu Nian's appearance, Huang Qing said, "Niannian, where did you go? You look so pale, and it took you so long to come back. Your phone was off when you called. Your teacher said there will be a test tomorrow, and then an exam."
Yue Jiu nodded and went upstairs, saying, "It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well and I'm carsick. I'll be fine after a nap. We can talk about the exams later."
Originally, Jiang Hu and the others wanted to ask about the monster, but seeing Yue Jiu Nian's condition, they let her go and rest.
Huang Qing instructed the maid to cook, and said, "Call Xiao Zhan and tell him to go find Xiao Hai after school and then come back here together. Once Niannian has rested, she can see Xiao Zhan."
Huang Ru nodded and said, "That's the only way. I'll call him now."
Jiang Yi said from the side, "Then I'll tell Xiao Hai first, so he doesn't come back on his own without knowing he's supposed to wait for Xiao Zhan."
After returning to her room upstairs, Yue Jiu Nian took a long, refreshing shower, which made her feel much better. Then she took out her phone to report to Yue Jiu Ling that she was safe.
Yue Jiu Nian: Are you there? I just arrived. Oh my god, that taxi I just took almost killed me. The stench in the car was like poison gas. I threw up as soon as I got out!
