“Yes,” Lin Yuan agreed with a slight smile, “It is indeed interesting.”
The car drove through several winding alleys and soon arrived at the Chen family's old house.
This place originally belonged to Chen's father, but after his death, it naturally became the property of Chen's mother and Chen Yiwei.
The old house was passed down from the Chen family ancestors and is currently valued at over five million yuan, making them among the wealthiest people in this small county.
Chen Yiwei and his mother lived here, comfortably stepping on the corpses of others and enjoying their own honor.
As soon as Si Jin entered the door, he saw a woman wearing high heels and a red dress walking towards him, holding a white envelope in her hand, her every step exuding arrogance.
"Oh, you're here? I thought you were too guilty to come because you let your puppet hurt my dad and splashed hot water on my mom."
The woman's name was Chen Xi. She was the daughter of Yu Lili and Chen Yiwei. She was an illegitimate child, but she was born a few days earlier than Si Jin.
She waved the envelope in her hand and said dismissively, "This is the address and admission ticket for the circus performance at the end of the month. Dad asked me to give it to you."
Si Jin reached out her hand, wanting to take it.
But the next moment, Chen Xi tore open the envelope, scattered the scraps of paper on the ground, and laughed in a low voice.
"Oh dear, Si Jin, you're so careless! If you can't go to the circus, how are you going to save your brother?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice came from the second floor: "Oh my, thank you so much for remembering to dress up this old lady. Lili, your makeup skills are really good. You make me feel like I've become ten years younger."
It was Chen Yiwei's mother's voice!
Upon noticing that Old Mrs. Chen had come downstairs, Chen Xi immediately remembered her mother's instructions: "Your father doesn't allow me to mistreat Chen Sijin. Today your father isn't here, and your grandmother likes you the most. Help your mother put on a show and make him suffer a bit."
So, he immediately yelled and fell to the ground without warning, looking as innocent as could be.
Chen Xi knew that Old Mrs. Chen favored her granddaughter the most and would never tolerate her being wronged.
So she sat down amidst a pile of scraps of paper and gently wiped away her tears: "Si Jin, I only gave you a ticket to the circus performance. If you didn't want to go, you could have just said you didn't want to go. Why did you have to do this to me?"
"Don't hit me! I won't give you a ticket next time. It's Grandma's birthday today, don't spoil her fun, waaaaah~"
This move successfully made Lin Yuan roll his eyes. He took a step forward, about to kick this disgusting, low-level white lotus away, when Si Jin grabbed him.
The boy's eyes darkened slightly. He hugged the urn in his arms tighter with his left arm and reached out to tug at the white glove on his right hand.
Only after confirming that he wouldn't touch Chen Xi's disgusting skin did he slowly lower his hand and aim it at her face.
Snap snap snap snap—
He slapped me hard four times in a row.
Si Jin wore a puppeteer's ring hidden inside her glove, originally intended to help awaken Chen's father's vengeful spirit.
This unexpected turn of events had a magical effect, and within a few moments, blood was drawn from the corner of Chen Xi's mouth.
Chen Xi never expected that Si Jin would dare to hit her in front of her grandmother. Her cheeks swelled up, and the tears in her eyes became real.
The more genuinely she cried, the more heart-wrenching her cries of "Grandma" became.
"Chen! Si! Jin!" Old Mrs. Chen was furious. She quickly walked downstairs with her cane and shielded her little granddaughter behind her.
Just as he was about to reprimand her, Si Jin gave him a serious reminder.
"Don't go near Chen Xi. She's been somewhere and is possessed by a vengeful ghost. It will take several blows to exorcise it."
"Otherwise, the entire Chen family will be in turmoil."
The boy's eyes were deep and his words seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, inexplicably convincing people.
