The female ghost from the brothel said, "Master, shouldn't you go and take care of my business?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Mm."
She brought two female ghosts to an ordinary family's home.
Through the iron bars of the window, the interior of the house was very dirty and messy.
Inside stood an elderly mother in her sixties, and next to her sat a man playing video games; he was her son, who was in his thirties.
He was thin, with an average appearance, a face full of acne, and oily skin and hair; you could smell him even through the window.
The old mother said, "Son, you're over thirty years old. You know our family's situation. What good girl would want to marry into our family?"
"The fat widow next door may be divorced and has a daughter, but she's about your age and not bad looking. You should just settle for her and marry her."
Ding Huizhou, engrossed in his game, didn't even turn his head. "Mom, that fat woman is not only ugly, but she's also secondhand. Don't introduce women like that to me again."
The old mother snorted upon hearing this, "Don't you know what kind of scum you look like?"
Ding Huizhou said, "Mom, I'm not an ordinary person. In my dream, I was a very rich young master, and I also had a very handsome face."
"The women who like me must be fair-skinned, beautiful, smart, from a good family, rich and capable. Only such women are worthy of me."
The old mother looked at her son, who remained stubbornly unrepentant.
"Son, I beg you, please stop dreaming, okay? The girl you want is incredibly outstanding. She studies at a prestigious university, is beautiful, and comes from a wealthy family. How could a girl like that possibly be interested in you?"
Ding Huizhou snorted, "That woman is just looking down on me because I'm poor. Fortune changes every thirty years, never underestimate a young man's potential. When I become successful, hmph, they'll be practically begging me to like them. Even if they throw themselves at me then, I won't want them!"
The old mother shook her head, looking at her son who was dreaming big.
Her son was ambitious from a young age and vowed to do great things and become the person at the top.
She was very pleased to see her ambitious son, and felt that he would definitely be successful in the future. She indulged him in everything from childhood to adulthood, spoiling him excessively.
As a result, he couldn't even get into a regular university, and then blamed the school's education system for the problem.
Not only that, he also offended a group of wealthy young men, and he often slacked off at work, eventually being fired by his boss.
When looking for a job, people either feel that the boss doesn't know how to appreciate talent, or that the boss looks down on them because of their low educational background.
However, he dislikes jobs such as security guard, deliveryman, and waiter.
Life is already so miserable, yet the son still fantasizes all day about his future success, surrounded by beautiful women, and a life of triumph.
She used to hope her son would become successful, but now she's so disappointed that she no longer expects him to be outstanding.
As long as he's ordinary, honestly finds a girl to marry, and lives a stable life, that's fine.
However, her son has become increasingly prone to daydreaming, constantly complaining about the unfairness of society, and spending all his time in front of the computer acting as a keyboard warrior, attacking anyone he doesn't like online.
The female ghost from the brothel stood there listening to the mother and son talk for a long time, but no one else appeared in the room.
Unable to resist asking, "Master, where is the faithless man?"
Bai Xi: "That's the man you just saw."
The courtesan ghost, "???"
"Master, are you sure? He's clearly an ugly monster, not as handsome as him."
The man in the room was clearly very ordinary, yet he was so confident, and the daydreaming things he said were disgusting.
She's so much worse than that heartless man.
Bai Xi: "This is him after his reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, the female ghost from the brothel felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
Why is he so ugly in this life?
Bai Xi: "Perhaps it's karma and reincarnation."
The female ghost from the brothel was a complete looks-obsessed person. Back in the brothel, she took a liking to that handsome young master at first sight.
He was always good at sweet talk and had promised to come and redeem her from her servitude and marry her, but she waited until her death and he never came back.
She heard from the other women in the building that he most likely wouldn't come; people in their line of work don't really have any real feelings.
She eventually died of depression, and this incident became her obsession. Even after her death, she kept trying to find him and ask him why he didn't come to marry her.
Upon seeing his reincarnation today, she instantly lost all her obsessions. It turned out that what she was obsessed with and fixated on was simply his face from his previous life.
"No wonder I can't find him. He's so ugly and yet so confident. He's not even worthy of my attention."
The female ghost from the brothel turned and left.
The mother and son were still talking inside the house.
"Son, do you know what the neighbors are saying about you? Why don't you play less video games and read less novels, and find a job first?"
"Mom! Stop talking here. You keep saying it, aren't you tired of it? I told you, your son will definitely be rich and powerful in the future! When that happens, I'll make those people who look down on us wash your feet every day!"
Ding Huizhou was playing a game, looking annoyed. Finally, he threw the keyboard on the table and went out.
Bai Xi, who had just come out, asked, "Do you want to be sent to the underworld for salvation?"
The courtesan ghost shook her head, "I don't want to go."
Bai Xi: "Okay."
Just as I was about to leave, I saw Ding Huizhou come out of the house.
When Ding Huizhou saw Bai Xi, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He quickly straightened his clothes, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, waiting for her to come over.
Bai Xi glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and walked past him.
Ding Huizhou's expression darkened. He walked over and said, "Can't you see me standing here, a grown man?"
Bai Xi said, "I didn't see it." She then walked away.
Ding Huizhou's face darkened at her disdain.
Lin Xinxi spat at Ding Huizhou from behind, "A toad trying to eat swan meat?"
Ding Huizhou stared at Bai Xi's departing figure with a sinister look in his eyes and clenched his fists.
"You snobbish women who only care about looks, just you wait! I'll make you come back kneeling before me!"
...
Bai Xi returned home.
Lin Xinxi was overjoyed to find that her strength had increased a little more.
Bai Xi opened her phone.
Another trending topic has emerged, and it's still about Luo Xiaozhu.
