At this point, Qian Lailai suddenly remembered that she had gone downstairs. She had sensed her junior uncle's presence, which was why she had rushed downstairs.
"Junior Uncle, could it be that something happened to Su Yu? Did you save her?"
Wen Lu didn't hide anything from Qian Lailai, and she nodded.
Actually, she had already noticed that Qian Lailai's expression was off that day, and roughly guessed that Qian Lailai had discovered the little ghost on Su Yu. Qian Lailai had a special constitution since childhood; she possessed the ability to see yin and yang, allowing her to see things that ordinary people couldn't.
Wen Lu is different. She doesn't have the ability to see ghosts; she cultivated it for a period of time, which is why she can see those things. This is a unique skill that her master taught her.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Lu began to explain the origin of the little thing to Qian Lailai.
"Actually, that little thing is none other than the owner of this body. She was supposed to leave, but she was unwilling to accept it. She never thought that she would be betrayed by the friend she considered her best."
"She only learned after her death that her misfortunes were all caused by the people she considered to be her relatives. Her brother Xiao Ran, the Wen family couple, and Su Yu—none of them were truly kind to her."
"Just before she died, she still fantasized that Su Yu would come to save her, so she was unwilling to give up and kept following Su Yu's side."
"The longer she stayed by Su Yu's side, the more she knew, and the more resentment she harbored. Later, she developed hatred for Su Yu, and it was Su Yu who caused Su Yu's arm to be broken."
“I was afraid that she had done too many wrong things and would eventually disappear into nothingness, so I wanted to help her fulfill her wish, to redeem Dong Zhimeng, so that she could leave sooner and start a new life, and strive to live a sweeter life in her next life.”
"Unfortunately, Su Yu is still unrepentant and deliberately targets Dong Zhimeng. This time, she was provoked. At noon, she completely disregarded the fact that she would be reduced to ashes and wanted to perish together with Su Yu. If I had arrived any later, she might already be gone."
"I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but I can't just let someone like Su Yu be reduced to ashes. I inherited her body, so I have to do something for her. I will make Su Yu suffer more than if she died. The most painful thing is that you can't get something no matter how hard you try."
Although Qian Lailai didn't know what Wen Lu wanted to do, she felt inexplicably sorry for the kid after hearing about his story. She looked at Wen Lu and spoke earnestly.
"Junior Uncle, would you be willing to convert that little ghost? I only need a strand of your hair to make her a little nest. I can take her with me and take good care of her. When I return to the mountain, I can convert her and send her to reincarnation. She will be a happy little girl in her next life."
Wen Lu saw Qian Lailai's relieved smile and knew that Qian Lailai must have a way to deal with that little thing. She reached out and pinched Qian Lailai's cheek, speaking in a rare gentle tone.
"Thank you so much. I'll take you out for hot pot tonight. I guarantee you'll love it."
Upon hearing about the delicious food, Qian Lailai's eyes lit up. In the past, she felt that she had no relationship with Wen Lu, so she was embarrassed to eat Wen Lu's food. Now that she knew that Wen Lu was her junior uncle, she knew that her junior uncle was very rich and would definitely be able to support her. She no longer needed to feel embarrassed.
"Junior Uncle, I want to eat more chicken drumsticks. I heard they're especially delicious fried chicken drumsticks. Will you take me out for some tonight?"
“Okay, take Dong Zhimeng with us. Part of the reason that little thing was furious was because of Dong Zhimeng. She really didn’t know what Dong Zhimeng had gone through. Wen Zhengnan and his wife deceived her, telling her that after Dong Zhimeng protected her, the Wen family would give her a sum of money. She always thought that Dong Zhimeng was doing very well.”
"I only found out now that it was all a lie. But she can rest assured now. With me here, Dong Zhimeng will be fine. Before long, Dong Zhimeng's parents and younger brother will come back, and then they will be reunited as a family."
Thinking that Dong Zhimeng could be reunited with her family, Wen Lu began to worry about Dong Zhimeng's studies. She knew that Dong Zhimeng used to be a good student, but later, because of Zhuge Peng, Dong Zhimeng began to give up on herself. She just didn't know if she could catch up.
How are you feeling about your studies at school? Would you like to go out and see a big city?
Although Qian Lailai has never come down from the mountain, Wen Lu has never neglected her studies. He used to teach her personally, and later he found someone to give her lessons every day. He just doesn't know how well she can use the knowledge she has learned to cope with the college entrance examination.
When Qian Lailai heard that Wen Lu was starting to worry about her studies, she looked at Wen Lu with bright eyes.
"Junior Uncle, don't worry. Although I've never been to school, I've already learned everything in the textbooks. I promise I won't let you down."
Qian Lailai assured Wen Lu with certainty that she felt bored in class today, so she flipped through her textbooks and found that she had already learned all of those things. She felt no pressure at all about going to school now.
"Well, that's good. Now that you've come down the mountain, don't go back. Go to university and see the world. Visit those old folks during winter and summer vacations. I'm sure they'd be happy to see you living this kind of life."
Wen Lu smiled knowingly at the thought of those old men, and that very old man. After the college entrance exam, she would definitely take Qian Lailai back to the mountain, where they could rest comfortably for a while and cleanse their souls.
At this moment, Yan Luo returned from outside. He looked at the open door, glanced at Wen Lu sitting in the room, smiled slightly, and then walked into the room.
"Your door-opening technique is pretty good."
Hearing Yan Luo's teasing, Wen Lu turned her head, smiled gently, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really wanted to talk to her about something private, but I couldn't find a suitable place, so I could only come here. I hope you won't blame me!"
Yan Luo was somewhat surprised to hear Wen Lu's apology. Looking into Wen Lu's eyes, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen Wen Lu's eyes somewhere before.
"No need to be so polite. I just think it's wrong to break into a house. Here's a key. You can open the door if you need anything."
As she spoke, Yan Luo took a key out of the drawer and placed it beside Wen Lu. Wen Lu did not refuse, picked up the key, and put the key to the infirmary together with the key to her dormitory.
"Um... thank you. We're going out for hot pot tonight, why don't you come along? Do you have a car? Can the three of us hitch a ride with you?"
