Chapter 264 Beware of the People Around You



“It was a face that had been burned by fire, with pits all over it.

The hand she extended to my shoulder was incomplete, with five fingers curled into a fist.

Gu Qingli was afraid that the woman in front of him would do something dangerous, so he could only cautiously test her: "Do you know me?"

The woman raised her hand and circled her face before she said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know him. I just saw that you had a bloody disaster recently, so I wanted to remind you to be careful about the people around you."

After saying that, she left, leaving Gu Qingli with a confused look on his face.

Even after walking out of the fitting room, Gu Qingli was still thinking about the meaning of the woman's words.

When she saw the waiter outside, she became furious.

She threw the clothes in her hands onto the sofa and pointed at the marks left on her shoulder: "You have such a big store, don't you even have security? You let outsiders enter and leave the fitting room like this. If it was a robber who came in today, I would be dead."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the manager hurriedly checked the surveillance camera outside the fitting room and saw a woman dressed strangely entering the fitting room door.

The strange thing is that the woman seemed to appear out of thin air, leaving only an image when she entered the door. As for how she came in and how she left, no one knew.

Gu Qingli thought of the woman's warning. Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, she no longer had the heart to continue shopping. She simply picked out a few gifts and asked the manager to deliver them to her home.

"After returning home, I told my mother about this incident. Her face turned very ugly when she heard it. She kept asking me what the woman looked like and whether she had said anything strange to me.

This was the first time I saw a look of fear on my mother's face. I remembered that she had a different expression when we were in a car accident.

After making sure I was in no further danger, she told my father about it.

My father was also very scared after hearing this. He tightened the defenses at home that day, asked me to go to the police station to report the incident, and ordered the mall to find the person who was following me.

But after much effort, that strange woman seemed to have evaporated in time. If it weren't for the surveillance footage from that day, I might have thought I was dreaming.

The murderer has not been found yet, and our whole family is worried.

Just when we were on high alert, she appeared again, this time at our house.

I felt uncomfortable that night and really wanted to find someone to support me, so I went to sleep with my mother.

In the middle of the night, I felt a pair of vicious eyes staring at me. I forced myself to wake up from my sleep, and when I found that there was nothing in the room, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But I didn't feel relieved for long, because I heard the closed window suddenly make a noise, and then the woman appeared at the window.

This time she changed her clothes and covered her feet, but from the way she walked and the exposed skin, I was sure that she was the woman who had been bothering me.

What surprised me was that she didn't seem to want to look for me. She just stood by the window and stared at me.

That look gave me goosebumps all over my body. I shook my mother beside me frantically, wanting her to get up and fight the terror with me.

When my mother woke up, she screamed in fright. The man heard the sound. She glanced at the two of us and disappeared into the house.

She really disappeared directly, without any unnecessary movements, and was gone in an instant.

The only proof that she had appeared was me, who was terrified and stunned, and my mother who was always comforting me.

At this point, things have reached a new deadlock, and because of her strange behavior, our long-standing speculations are about to be overturned.

Both sides have different opinions on whether she is a human or a ghost.

The only thing they all agreed on was that she was a very dangerous person and that they needed to be extremely vigilant in dealing with her.

Later, she appeared in our house several times again, in all kinds of places, such as in the kitchen and in the garden. As long as I was alone, there was a high possibility of running into her.

But she had no intention of hurting me. She just stood beside me obediently and left as soon as someone appeared.

During this period, she caused chaos at home. My parents were afraid that she would suddenly go crazy and hurt me one day, so they found a large group of bodyguards for me and asked them to stay by my side day and night.

Even when I sleep at night, there is someone guarding the door in case of emergency.

What touched me most in this incident was my mother. She didn't show any fear at all and stayed by my side every step of the way, even not going to the company.

At first, I was afraid that it would affect her, so I asked her to stay away from me, but she sternly rejected my suggestion and stood firmly on the same front with me.

As the woman appeared more and more, I was surprised to find that her frequency decreased as long as my mother was around.

Therefore, I enjoyed my mother's company with peace of mind. During this time, I felt that the relationship between us became deeper.

Now I am not particularly afraid of that woman. If I wasn’t afraid of delaying my mother’s work, I would not take this ghost who poses no threat to me seriously at all.

Master, if you really have the ability to exorcise ghosts, please persuade her to leave. Since I was not harmed, I can spare her life."

Gu Qingli raised his chin proudly, as if he had done a great thing.

[This matter is full of strangeness. I now suspect that the ghost is the girl's deceased mother. She is worried about her child and wants to come back to see her.]

[This is unlikely. If she was really her mother, why would she say such strange things to her in the beginning? Besides, even if it had been so long, others should have been able to recognize her identity.]

[Am I the only one who feels her stepmother is a bit too kind? This is totally illogical.]

[What logic is there in relationships? I think you're just envious of the bond between mother and daughter.]

[Anyway, I think there's a huge conspiracy going on. Someone in her family might not be innocent.]

Gu Qingli looked at the speculations on the barrage and refuted the rumors himself: "We have also speculated whether she is my mother, but my father and mother have seen her in person, and they both said that she has no resemblance to my mother.

As for why I call her mom, it is because she is good to me and I am willing to give her this title. I believe that if my mother knew about this, she would also accept it.

Moreover, not only do I think so, even my grandparents are very satisfied with her and treat her as their own daughter."

Su Yan looked at Gu Qingli, who was beaming with joy, feeling somewhat helpless. She didn't know if she could bear it after the truth was revealed.
