Chapter 283 I Heard
Zhong Wan silently recited the name in her heart, combining it with the information about the hidden mission.
A tragedy about control, sacrifice, and the stifling of dreams has already surfaced in her mind.
She watched as Lin Wei's soul trembled slightly amidst Lin Yu's sobs, and watched as the thorns on her body seemed to wriggle slowly, drawing upon her pain, as if they were alive.
Zhong Wan lowered her eyes, slowly raised her hand and gently touched the wedding dress. The moment her fingertips touched the dress, she instantly felt a bone-chilling cold and resentment.
Zhong Wan withdrew her hand, looked up at Lin Yu, and replied in a steady and powerful voice, "I heard what's on your sister's mind."
After she finished speaking, she paused, and her gaze toward Lin Yu sharpened: "What she left behind was not just this wedding dress."
"And her shattered dreams, and the truth that has never been known to anyone, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu trembled instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes again, but her eyes shone with an alarming brightness as she looked at Zhong Wan.
She nodded vigorously, her voice almost choked with emotion, "Yes! Yes! My sister... she... she before..."
Zhong Wan raised her hand, gently stopping her from speaking: "There's no need to say it now. Leave the wedding dress here first, and tell me the address of your sister's former studio and the information about the man who was with her."
"Leave the rest to me."
Lin Yu instantly felt like she had found her pillar of support and quickly reached into her bag to rummage through it.
But he couldn't find a pen and notebook, and his face immediately turned anxious.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan picked up the brush in front of her, took out a new piece of paper, and handed it over: "Write it here."
Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly reached out and took the document, writing down an address and a name.
Only then did she hand the pen and paper back to Zhong Wan, her hand still trembling slightly.
"Thank you... thank you so much."
Lin Yu looked at Zhong Wan with anticipation and excitement, and bowed deeply to her.
Zhong Wan took the paper and looked at the neat handwriting, which showed signs of trembling.
She reached out to help Lin Yu up, then looked down at the name on the paper and murmured softly, "Gao Jun?"
Almost as soon as Zhong Wan finished speaking, she keenly saw Lin Wei's phantom image and saw her soul tremble violently. The black thorns that were originally wrapped around her wedding dress and body tightened instantly.
Intense resentment and fear permeated the air as if they were a tangible thing.
【Meow! 】
Upon seeing this, Zhong Suisui instantly perked up. Its small body sat upright in front of Zhong Wan, baring its teeth and barking at the illusory figure.
Its cry wasn't loud, but it instantly calmed Lin Wei. The thorns on her body seemed to be startled by the sound, and their tightening momentum stopped instantly.
Even the intense resentment and fear from just now were completely absorbed by Zhong Suisui.
"Don't be afraid."
Zhong Wan subconsciously looked up and reassured the human and ghost in front of her, "Here, you... are safe."
Then she looked at Lin Yu and said in a deep voice, "Lin Yu, let's exchange contact information."
"Leave this to me. I'll contact you when I have news."
Looking at Zhong Wan's determined eyes, Lin Yu felt as if she had grasped a lifeline. She quickly picked up her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Zhong Wan.
Zhong Wan reached out and took it, skillfully pressing a string of numbers, and then heard her phone ring with a familiar ringtone.
Zhong Wan then handed Lin Yu's phone back: "Go back now, don't do anything rash, just wait quietly for my message."
"good."
Lin Yu nodded hurriedly, gripping her phone tightly, and bowed solemnly to Zhong Wan again. Then, she glanced at the wedding dress one last time with reluctance before leaving, looking back every few steps.
After Lin Yu left, the store instantly returned to silence.
In less than a second, Su Mu stepped in.
Hearing the voice, Zhong Wan looked up and saw Su Mu turn his head, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You're back from vacation?"
Su Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this, then his gaze fell upon the wedding dress before he asked softly, "They detected a strong fluctuation of Yin energy over here, is that...?"
She paused for a moment, then met Zhong Wan's gaze and continued, "Have new ghosts appeared again?"
The smile on Zhong Wan's lips vanished instantly. Her gaze fell on the blood-stained and dirty wedding dress, and her eyes sharpened. She looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice, "Rather than a ghost, she is more like someone carrying the obsession of a blood feud."
Although she had not yet used her skills to see Lin Wei's memories, the few words that flooded her mind the moment she touched the wedding dress were still vivid in her memory.
These few short sentences seem to encapsulate the entire relationship between Lin Wei and her partner.
"Weiwei, your design is amazing! It's so inspired. Those commercial projects are no match for your talent. It breaks my heart to see you staying up all night revising drafts for the client every day."
“Your studio has too many people of different backgrounds. I don’t want someone as pure as you to be influenced by those vulgar people. Quit your job, and I’ll support you. Then you can focus on doing the designs you love.”
“They admire you, but only for your appearance and your design talent. But Weiwei, I’m different from them. I love your whole soul.”
"Weiwei, don't worry, your sister is my sister. With me here, I will definitely not let you two sisters suffer."
"Hehe, look at your sister. We're both married, why does she still keep bothering you? Does she hate seeing you doing well? Is she trying to ruin our life as a couple?"
"Wow, is this really my Weiwei? She's changed so much I don't even recognize her!"
"Stop wearing makeup. Weiwei looks beautiful even without makeup. Those cosmetics are for ugly, insecure women. My Weiwei is naturally beautiful and doesn't need them."
"Weiwei, don't worry. After we get married, your money is yours, and mine is yours too. You can manage the money at home. Just give me some pocket money every month."
"Keep some money for yourself each month to buy things you like. I'll cover the big household expenses. But give me your salary card, I'll help you manage your finances. Weiwei, you're too naive, you're easily fooled."
"You're just too naive. You don't understand the ways of the world. What will you do without me?"
“When you made that decision last time, I already said it wouldn’t work, but did you listen? If I hadn’t covered for you, you would have made a huge mess of things. Weiwei, you still have to listen to me from now on.”
Their attitudes before and after marriage are completely different, like a sudden change of face.
Before and after getting their marriage certificate, they were like completely different people.
