At the nightclub in S City, after hearing Chu Nian's words, Jiang Yuxuan was somewhat confused and asked, "What do you mean by that? I killed you purely because you are a zombie, it has nothing to do with whether you are attractive or not."
Chu Nian sneered, "Whether it matters or not, go back and calm down and think it over carefully!" She sensed that the female lead's mind might be a little confused.
The original owner, Luo Nian, was controlled by Zhang Pengju after becoming a corpse, and she did indeed harm many people. Luo Nian herself was well aware of this and knew that she would be punished. Therefore, when she was later taken in by Jiang Yuxuan and her soul was scattered, she did not have much hatred for Jiang Yuxuan.
She only hated Chang Fenglin, who betrayed her and killed her, and Zhang Pengju, who turned her into a corpse and prevented her from being reincarnated properly.
Chu Nian had never actually killed any of the Taoist priests from Maoshan before, mainly because they weren't the targets of the original owner's hatred; furthermore, their targeting of her because she was a zombie was, after all, part of their duty as a Celestial Master.
But if someone like Jiang Yuxuan insists on a "either you or me" relationship with her, then Chu Nian will no longer hold back when she takes action.
Chen Boteng drove Chu Nian and Zhou Qianqian away. On the way, he thought of the things in his bag and couldn't help but sigh, muttering, "Luckily, I put the recorded records in my bag a long time ago, otherwise they would have been destroyed in the explosion."
It was already past three in the morning when they got home. Since Chen Boteng hadn't returned yet, the housekeeper and some servants were still awake at the Chen mansion. They prepared a late-night snack for Chu Nian and the others.
Chen Boteng took out a record and put it in the gramophone next to the sofa to play.
The butler reported what had happened that night: the young lady had gone to see the Taoist priest twice, and had gone to the outskirts of the city; the young master had hanged himself in the woods in the outskirts of the city, and the young lady had not yet collected his body...
I don't know what's wrong with the Chen family tonight. They're all causing so much trouble!
Zhou Qianqian said with some surprise, "Why didn't Sister Baiying collect Brother Chang's body? She and Brother Chang have always had a good relationship. Even if they had a little disagreement recently, it shouldn't have escalated to this point! Also, why would Brother Chang hang himself in the mountains in the far suburbs? This is very strange. Brother Baiteng, should we call the police?"
Zhou Qianqian had no idea about the love triangle between Chen Baiying, Chang Fenglin, and Luo Nian. Given the suspicious nature of the death, it was perfectly normal for her to think of calling the police.
Chen Boteng said with a stern face, "This has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it." He paused, then added, "If you ask me, Chang Fenglin deserved what he got." He then glanced at Chu Nian.
Chu Nian calmly ate the wontons in her bowl, elegant and composed, just like usual. There was no indication that she was happy about avenging her great enemy, nor any sign of her having any feelings about her past or future.
Chen Boteng was somewhat impressed by her composure and said, "Miss Niannian, are all people who have truly experienced life and death like you...?"
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Chu Nian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Chen Boteng: "Not showing your emotions?"
Chu Nian smiled faintly and said, "Who knows? Besides, when have I ever been one to keep my emotions hidden?"
Chen Boteng asked curiously, "You've gotten your revenge, aren't you happy?"
Chu Nian straightened her shoulders and said, "I'm fine! It's not like it's her fault."
Besides, revenge is just venting hatred in one's heart; it's not something to be happy about.
The truly gratifying thing is that there was no revenge to be had at all.
"Lou Qianzong's songs are so captivating!" Zhou Qianqian suddenly exclaimed, getting up with a look of rapt attention and walking to the gramophone, listening intently to the songs, almost pressing her face against it.
After returning home, Chen Baiying locked herself in her room. Presumably hearing the commotion in the living room, she came out of her room in her pajamas and stood behind the second-floor railing, looking down at everyone in the living room with a sorrowful expression.
The people in the hall all thought that she was probably sad because of Chang Fenglin's matter, so they all quieted down and quietly ate their late-night snack.
The sound from the gramophone paused for a moment, then started again. Lou Qianzong later sang the English songs that Chu Nian had taught him. The butler and servants couldn't understand these songs at all, but the Chen siblings and Zhou Qianqian, who had all studied English at prestigious universities, could understand them.
It must be said that Lou Qianzong's performance talent is in no way inferior to Chu Nian's. Although it was an English song and just singing, Lou Qianzong was still able to move countless people.
"There's a girl but Ilethegetaway......"
Even with just the first line of this song, he can capture people's hearts.
Standing there listening for a long time, lost in thought, Chen Baiying softly asked the others, "These are... Mr. Lou's songs?"
Chen Boteng replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"
Chen Baiying: "Really...really..."
"Isn't it amazing?" Zhou Qianqian couldn't help but chime in. "I've never heard such a beautiful song before. Only someone as stunningly beautiful as Lou Qianzong could sing it so well."
Chen Baiying: "Yes, it's so beautiful. I never imagined there could be such a captivating voice in the world." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Qianqian said sadly, "Sister Baiying, are you sad because of Brother Chang? Don't be too sad..."
“Brother Chang? You mean Chang Fenglin?” Chen Baiying laughed self-deprecatingly. “How stupid I am! What else can his existence prove besides my stupidity? Hehe…” She laughed a few times with a strange tone.
Chen Baiying chuckled a few times, then suddenly stopped, straining to listen to the song on the gramophone, murmuring, "This singing is so beautiful... such a poignant voice..."
"Yes, it's really beautiful." Zhou Qianqian nodded in agreement, unaware that Chen Baiying's tears were streaming down her face.
"Shh!" Chen Baiying put her index finger to her lips to signal her not to listen, then closed her eyes and listened to the song.
Chu Nian glanced at the group and secretly curled her lip: The characters in the drama have all become fans of Lou Qianzong! Case closed!
Chen Baiying was so engrossed in listening to the song that she probably didn't notice where she was. Suddenly, her body swayed heavily, and she tumbled over the second-floor railing.
She was caught off guard and let out a startled cry. She saw the light and shadows flickering before her eyes and heard the soft whistling of the wind as she fell.
Everyone in the hall was startled by her voice and turned to look in horror. Chen Boteng was so frightened that he stood up and dropped the bowl he was holding to the ground without even realizing it.
The moment he stood up, he felt a gust of wind brush past him, and then he saw a figure flash by...
The next moment, Chen Baiying felt herself fall into a warm embrace; everyone also saw a beautiful woman catch Chen Baiying as she fell from the second floor.
As Chen Baiying breathed a sigh of relief, she saw the extremely beautiful face in front of her. It could be said that only Lou Qianzong could compare to her in terms of skin and features!
