When Qin Hanshu saw Li Lidan walking towards her, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and asked, "Sister Li, why did my sister-in-law leave first?"
When Cao Jing left, she didn't even come over to say goodbye to Qin Hanshu. Feeling ashamed of her younger sister's lack of manners and tactlessness, Li Lidan tried to make amends for Cao Jing:
"She suddenly remembered something came up at the troupe, so she had to leave in a hurry and asked me to tell you."
Qin Hanshu knew what kind of person this fake Cao Jing was, and smiled indifferently.
Li Lidan thought for a moment, then hesitated to speak.
Although she refused Cao Jing's request, she was afraid that Cao Jing hadn't given up and was still thinking about transporting the goods.
If anything really happens, Qin Feiyang will definitely be implicated.
Should we tell the Qin family about this?
But if the Qin family finds out, will they have a negative opinion of Cao Jing? Will it affect Cao Jing's relationship with Qin Feiyang?
After hesitating for a long time, Li Lidan swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Forget it, the fewer people who know about this, the better. She should go back and tell her mother so that her mother can discipline her younger sister.
"Well, Xiao Qin, you and your partner enjoy your meal. I'll be going now."
Qin Hanshu nodded and smiled as he watched Li Lidan leave.
After sitting down, Qin Hanshu's smile slowly faded.
She overheard Li Lidan and Cao Jing's conversation.
Although the two were far apart, perhaps due to the long-term nourishment from the spatial water, her five senses were now very sharp. Noticing that Cao Jing and Li Lidan's expressions were off, she listened intently.
This fake Cao Jing is mentally ill!
For such a paltry sum, they took such a huge risk, involving so many people!
I have no idea where she gets the ability to cause so much trouble!
Seeing Qin Hanshu suddenly become sullen, Zhou Weiguang felt uneasy. He had only criticized the food for being too bland, and she was already unhappy?
"Well... it's better to be less salty, less salt is healthier."
Qin Hanshu ignored him, lost in thought.
Zhou Weiguang suddenly realized that when Qin Hanshu had a long face and was unhappy, he was actually a little scared!
He's never been this timid in front of his superiors!
While cursing at herself in her heart, she asked Qin Hanshu in a gentle voice, "I saw that they are still selling Western-style pastries on the first floor, including some kind of big cream cake. Should we buy one to take home?"
Qin Hanshu snapped out of her daze and shook her head, saying, "It's not her birthday, why would we eat a big cream cake... But buying one is fine too, Lan Hua will definitely love it, let's buy one for her to take back."
"Okay! I'll go right now!" Zhou Weiguang went downstairs eagerly.
The cream cakes are all made to order, so you'll have to wait a while.
After finishing their meal, the two strolled around the area before taking the cake they had made back home.
Just as they reached the entrance of the building, they heard a scream coming from the second floor where they lived.
It belongs to Cao Jing.
Qin Hanshu quickly went up the stairs.
When Zhou Ruilan saw her, she said anxiously, "The tiger wants to hurt Sister-in-law Qin!"
"What happened?" Tigers don't attack people for no reason!
Qin Hanshu rushed over.
"The door wasn't closed. Tiger was just sitting there peacefully when he saw Sister-in-law Qin coming up the stairs, and he rushed out before we could even react!"
"When we came out, this is what it looked like!" Zhou Ruilan pointed in a direction.
Cao Jing huddled in a corner of the stairwell, her face deathly pale, her eyes wide with terror, and her body trembling like a leaf.
The tiger was growling in front of Cao Jing, its roar unlike any other, carrying a chilling and eerie quality.
The tiger didn't do anything to harm anyone; it just kept growling at Cao Jing, which terrified Cao Jing as if she had seen a ghost.
Zhao Chunmiao wanted to take the tiger away, but strangely enough, she didn't dare to take a single step closer! Even though she often played with tigers.
At that moment, the tiger seemed to have suddenly turned into a cat!
Qin Hanshu stopped and looked at Cao Jing.
Tiger often played with the spirit beasts in the space, so it must have absorbed some spiritual energy, which had a deterrent effect on the wandering ghosts in Cao Jing's body.
Qin Hanshu didn't stop the tiger, but slowly said, "Sister-in-law, tigers don't bite people, why are you afraid of it?"
Hearing Qin Hanshu's voice, Cao Jing slowly looked over, her voice trembling as she said, "Is this your cat? Get it away, quick!"
Just as Qin Hanshu was about to say something, there was a commotion at the bottom of the stairs, and Qin Feiyang came up.
Why are you all gathered in the hallway?
"Feiyang..." Cao Jing's voice trembled, "Save me..."
Qin Hanshu then picked up the tiger and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take it away now, don't be afraid."
Once in Qin Hanshu's arms, the tiger immediately became docile, and the terrifying eeriness disappeared.
Cao Jing collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat, looking pitifully at Qin Feiyang who was walking towards her.
No matter how outrageous Cao Jing's recent behavior is, Qin Feiyang can always easily soften his heart when he sees her face.
Qin Feiyang helped Cao Jing up and comforted her, saying, "Cats don't bite, what's there to be afraid of? Don't be afraid."
Qin Feiyang then looked at the cat in Qin Hanshu's arms and laughed, "You actually brought a cat all the way from the Northwest. Don't you find it a burden?"
Zhou Weiguang said, "The tiger is Xiao Shu's treasure, not a burden."
Qin Feiyang clicked his tongue and said, "I'm just joking with my sister, do you have to rush to protect me like this?!"
Zhou Weiguang said without changing his expression, "I'm protecting my wife, why do you, as her older brother, have so many opinions?"
"Feiyang..." Cao Jing said weakly, "I want to go inside and rest. Help me."
Qin Feiyang stopped arguing and helped Cao Jing into the house. "It's just a cat, are you really that scared?"
Only after the door closed did Cao Jing feel safe again.
She sat in the chair, biting her lip and remaining silent.
That's definitely not an ordinary cat!
She clearly felt that her soul was about to leave her body.
Since the plot of the book has changed, has the female lead's space not been taken over and is still in the hands of the female supporting character Qin Hanshu?
The book only describes the spiritual spring and celestial fruits in the space, saying they can make people more beautiful and prolong their lives. Besides that, it mentions that there are some miscellaneous animals in the space, but it doesn't explain what their uses are.
Could that cat be from the other world?
Cao Jing felt terrified. She had never fully controlled this body, and now she felt like she was in danger of being expelled from it at any moment.
Her body before she transmigrated into the book had already died suddenly, and she was still floating in the air watching her body being cremated.
If this body is unusable, where can her soul go?
Could it be... true death?
Cao Jing shivered.
She didn't want to die! She wanted to live!
This body shares her name and surname, and her soul fits perfectly within it; it was destined to be hers!
The next day, Cao Jing first called the troupe to ask for leave, and then traveled a long distance to a bungalow area in the west of the city.
