Considering that Ji Qian had finally gained some fame, Liu Xia decisively skipped the budget chain hotel they usually stayed at when booking the hotel and instead chose a nearby three-star hotel with considerable extravagance.
Of course, it's not that they can't afford five-star hotels, it's just that three-star hotels offer better value for money.
Ji Qian was very satisfied with the hotel. Her only requirement for the room was that it be 'clean' enough and that no semi-transparent humanoid creatures would suddenly appear.
As for her living environment, Ji Qian never really cared, since she had even slept in a cemetery several times due to certain special reasons.
Liu Xia helped Ji Qian pack her luggage, reminded her to rest, and then reluctantly left.
It's no wonder Liu Xia is worried, since Ji Qian's ability to see ghosts was much more severe when she was a child, and she was often pulled into another dimension by ghosts.
So while the other children in the orphanage were learning self-care skills such as washing clothes and cooking, Ji Qian's main task was to learn how to escape.
This also resulted in Ji Qian's self-care ability and self-protection ability being almost inversely proportional, and Xu Qi had the same symptoms.
Xu Qi was born with a constitution that attracts ghosts. When he was a child, he looked like a big, golden meat bun in the eyes of evil spirits.
Of the ghosts Ji Qian encountered, at least eight out of ten were lured there by Xu Qi.
It wasn't until Xu Qi grew a little older and was sent to a Taoist temple that their situation of being tied up while trying to escape finally improved.
After seeing Liu Xia off, Ji Qian lay down on the bed and was about to browse Weibo for a while when she received a message notification:
[Xu Qi has added you to the "Bricklaying Squad" group chat. There are three people in the group who are not your friends. Please be aware of your privacy and security.]
At the same time this message popped up, a group chat message also popped up.
Han Mengyao: Welcome Qianqian to the group chat!!! [Sprinkling flowers jpg]
Ji Qian: [Observing secretly.jpg]
Xu Qi: How does it feel to be trending on social media for a whole day?
Ji Qian: ? ? ?
Miyesi: You don't even know you're trending on social media?
Ji Qian: I just arrived at the hotel and haven't had a chance to look at it yet.
Zhao Chengyuan: [Share Link]
Ji Qian clicked on the link and found that it was a thank-you post from the Zijing City Museum, which had already received over a million likes.
Ji Qian was about to reply when she realized that Liu Xia had already replied and forwarded the post on her behalf as soon as it was published on Weibo.
Ji Qian clicked on the link in the article, which contained the historical background and estimated value of several antiques compiled by museum staff.
Looking at the article's total price of the antiques, which was as high as tens of millions, a familiar feeling of palpitation struck Ji Qian once again. She had thought that these things were valuable when she donated them, but she did not expect them to be this valuable!
If she were given another chance... she would still choose to donate.
After all, that hair ornament was obviously expensive; it would have been enough for her to spend ages behind bars.
People in the group, unaware of Ji Qian's complex emotional journey, were still discussing her magnanimous act of donation:
Ying Xu: I may have misunderstood Sister Qian before, I didn't expect Sister Qian to have such a broad perspective.
Xu Qi: No comment
Miyesi: Some people shouldn't be so jealous!
Han Mengyao: Actually... I also feel that this is not like Ji Qian's style.
Seeing the doubts of her two old friends, Ji Qian felt very heartbroken. She was clearly a noble person!
Ji Qian: Sister Meng, Xu Qi, you two may have misunderstood me. Selfless dedication has always been my life principle for many years.
Xu Qi: Hehe
Ji Qian: You have a problem with that? [A murderous intent begins to stir.jpg]
Xu Qi: ...I was being presumptuous. [Rapidly sliding to his knees - JPG]
Han Mengyao: Qianqian, why are you staying in a hotel? Do you have work to do next?
Ji Qian: No, it's just that there are more ghosts in my house than in the Qian family now, and I don't want to go back and experience that kind of shock. [Tired smile jpg]
Xu Qi: I remember your house is quite far from mine, right?
Ji Qian: It's alright, only about ten kilometers.
Xu Qi: That's enough. I'll have to prepare to move overnight if I'm within five kilometers.
Yingxu: In this situation, should we find someone to exorcise the evil spirit?
Miyesi: Can't you exorcise evil spirits yourself?
Ji Qian: It's no use. The house was already in ruins from the moment the first ghost moved in. I'm going to move out now.
Han Mengyao: My friend has an apartment to rent out. Do you want to come and take a look tomorrow?
Ji Qian: Okay, I don't have a job every day.
After agreeing to meet Han Mengyao at her house the next day, Ji Qian drifted off to sleep peacefully, the most restful sleep she had had in a week.
Han Mengyao lives in one of the most upscale residential communities in the capital, more than an hour's drive from Ji Qian's hotel.
Ji Qian overslept and rushed to the entrance of the residential area at around 9:40.
Liu Xia had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw her arrive, he quickly waved to her:
"Hurry up, the commuter bus is about to leave!"
"Commuter bus?" Upon hearing this, Ji Qian subconsciously quickened her pace, but a hint of confusion still appeared on her face.
Liu Xia saw her running over, but didn't explain. She just reached out and pulled her into the side gate of the community.
Inside the door, a luxury car worth millions was waiting for them with its doors open.
Ji Qian was pulled into the car by Liu Xia. Looking at the leather interior, the car refrigerator, and the television, she had a clear understanding of her poverty for the first time.
Ji Qian tugged at Liu Xia's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "You call this a commuter bus?"
Liu Xia appeared calm on the surface, but only her slightly trembling hands betrayed the turmoil within her.
"The security guard said it was a commuter bus, I never expected it to turn out like this."
The million-dollar commuter bus took about ten minutes to finally arrive at Han Mengyao's doorstep.
Han Mengyao had been sitting in the yard waiting for them for a while, and when she heard the car, she quickly came out to greet them.
Even after Han Mengyao pulled her into the room, Ji Qian was still in a daze.
Ji Qian had heard rumors about Han Mengyao's family background before and had some understanding of her wealth, but she never expected it to be to such an extent that it would refresh her understanding.
Han Mengyao poured Ji Qian a glass of water, then quickly got to the point:
“My friend’s apartment is right next to this complex. It’s a regular high-rise, but a lot of people in the industry live there, so the security is pretty good.”
As Han Mengyao spoke, she took out the novel materials she had prepared overnight.
Actually, Han Mengyao originally wanted to introduce Ji Qian to the apartment in her own neighborhood, but after she inquired about Ji Qian's financial situation from Xu Qi, she decisively shifted her focus to the apartment in the neighboring neighborhood.
Fortunately, Ji Qian had a good impression of the house. Perhaps because of its excellent lighting, there were not only no ghosts, but also very little yin energy.
Even someone like Han Mengyao, who is sensitive to cold all year round due to her constitution, felt a sense of warmth in this house.
Ji Qian was very interested in this place, but the high rent made her hesitate.
