Chapter 108 This is...
Zhong Wan looked at the determination in Lü Yingying's eyes, and then at the pain and reluctance on Lü's mother's face.
Looking at the woman before me, whose life seemed to be ignited by grief and longing,
Zhong Wan sighed softly; she knew she had made her choice.
Zhong Wan raised her hand to brush their hands away, walked to a chair and sat down.
"Sui Sui, give me paper and pen."
Zhong Suisui vaguely sensed her thoughts. Usually obedient, it became unusually rebellious, turning its head to look out the window, drooping its ears and pouting its little cat mouth. Even its usually swaying tail drooped limply.
"master?"
"Master Zhong?"
Zhong Wan then noticed Sui Sui's unusual behavior, but she still looked at the mother and daughter opposite her with astonished eyes and said in a deep voice, "There are two options for the price, you can choose one."
"Five million RMB,"
Zhong Wan lowered her gaze slightly, but her voice carried unusual weight: "Or, you can work for me for the rest of your life."
She spoke calmly, but inside she was extremely guilty.
They don't understand the price she'll have to pay, and they might even think she's ripping them off.
Zhong Wan couldn't help but sigh softly. If that were the case...
Lü Yingying's face paled instantly. Just as she was about to turn to look at her mother, she suddenly remembered something.
She tried to suppress her gaze, her body trembling slightly as she slumped on the bed, and asked in a dry voice, "What are the job duties if I'm working part-time?"
As Lü Yingying spoke, she looked up at the cat on Zhong Wan's shoulder and asked in a dry voice, "Is it dealing with...ghosts?"
Zhong Wan nodded: "There will be some, but don't worry. Although there is no base salary, no freedom to resign, and your life is in the hands of fate, don't worry. As long as I'm okay, you'll be okay too. In addition, you will get a commission on every deal until you help me earn five million."
At this point, she paused slightly, and seeing the somewhat puzzled look in Lü Yingying's eyes, she continued to explain, "Compared to helping you, five million is the least you have to pay, while what I have to pay is far more than that."
"Okay! Five million it is!"
Before Lü Yingying could speak, her mother said firmly, "Master Zhong, thank you for your help."
"I'll go raise the money right away. You can give me two more days. I'll transfer the money to you as soon as I've raised it."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan subconsciously turned her head to look. Seeing the affirmative expression on Lu's mother's face, she nodded slightly: "Okay, you keep your word. If you can't do what you promised me, you will pay the price."
Her voice was very soft, but Lü Yingying and her mother couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
"mom!"
Lü Yingying couldn't hold back her tears again. Seeing her mother shaking her head and sobbing, she was about to say something...
Then she saw Lu's mother shake her head, reach out to support her body, and comfort her, "In my heart, nothing is more important than you."
After saying this, she looked at her daughter in her arms, then looked up at Zhong Wan and asked, "Master Zhong, we will still pay you. If you need any work, you can contact us anytime."
“We also want to... accumulate more good karma for this child.”
Zhong Wan nodded: "Sure, just contact me anytime."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, frowned slightly as she looked at her empty palms, and turned to look at Zhong Suisui on her shoulder.
Seeing its reluctant little expression, a slight smile appeared on my lips.
"Sui Sui, be good. With you here, Mommy will be fine."
【But……】
Zhong Suisui bristled and glared at the two people and the ghost in front of her, clearly indignant.
Zhong Wan reached out and hugged it, gently stroking its head to soothe it: "No buts."
“Mom likes money, they have money,”
[Dad's rich too! This task will be very hard on your body!]
Zhong Wan chuckled: "But Mom also wants to earn money; it's Mom's job too."
As Zhong Wan explained, she looked into Zhong Suisui's big, dark eyes and said, "Isn't that why you're here with me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui let out a heavy sigh, and her entire cat body went limp.
Its tail gently rubbed against Zhong Wan's hand, then swayed slightly, and a faint black aura instantly appeared at the tip of its tail.
Lu Yingying and her mother stared in shock at the scene before them.
Looking at the wisp of black energy swirling around Zhong Wan's fair hands,
The moment the black aura disappeared, she had a pen and paper in her hand.
Upon seeing this scene, the mother and daughter's eyes narrowed instantly, but the light in their eyes shone even brighter.
Zhong Wan ignored their reactions, moved Zhong Suisui to a different spot, cuddled the cat, scribbled a few lines on a piece of paper, and handed it over: "Here, my payment method and address."
As she spoke, she glanced at the two people in front of her and reminded them, "One week is the time limit..."
She paused here, thinking, "Damn it, I should have collected the money first! What if they don't pay me back..."
Thinking of this, Zhong Wan pursed her red lips slightly, looking at their red eyes, and hesitated.
"Okay, Master Zhong, don't worry!"
Mother Lü readily agreed and took the paper.
But Zhong Wan lacked confidence. She lowered her eyes to look at the small figure beside Lü Yingying, at the bright smile on his face.
Never mind, let's leave it at that.
Even if she didn't give it to him, what could she do? In the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it...
Zhong Wan lowered her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart.
He picked up a pen and paper and began to draw intently.
Her expression was focused and earnest, and the dark energy flowing beneath her brushstrokes was palpable.
Seeing this, Lü's mother and Lü Yingying couldn't help but exchange a glance, then craned their necks to look.
As the figure slowly took shape under her pen, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
But the joy in their eyes vanished instantly when they saw Zhong Wan draw lines on the child's neck.
The two looked puzzled and confused.
Especially after seeing that line slowly turn red,
Lü Yingying couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes stinging and burning.
As the paintbrush moved, the red line seemed to come alive, vividly emerging from the child's navel, circling his neck, and then extending beyond the paper.
Mother Lü and Lü Yingying looked in shock in the direction of the red thread, and were completely stunned when they saw the other end of the red thread disappear into Lü Yingying's belly.
"What's this?"
Mother Lü looked at the scene before her with some fear and asked in a trembling voice.
"Mother-child line".
Zhong Wan answered with some difficulty, her voice heavy and solemn, tinged with the yin energy of merit points.
With each stroke, she could feel the weight of the brush in her hand gradually increasing.
The difficulty of drawing is also increasing.
Fine beads of sweat had appeared on Zhong Wan's forehead without her noticing. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to persevere.
Seeing this, Zhong Suisui continuously emitted black energy from her furry little body, diligently channeling it into Zhong Wan's hand.
Seeing the scene before them, Lu's mother and Lu Yingying couldn't help but tense up, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.
When she saw Zhong Wan finish the last stroke and looked at the small, transparent figure that suddenly appeared before her, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
"Baby……"
"Mom, look! It's my baby..."
