Chapter 456: Be Careful in What You Say and Do
"Tongtong, this is Miss Zhong Nianyao." Guan Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and introduced her, "She is here to help you. With her around, you will definitely get better soon."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao, who was about the same age as her, although Chu Tong didn't quite believe it, she still tried to smile at Zhong Nianyao and greeted her, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Looking at Chu Tong, who was weak but trying hard to smile, Zhong Nianyao also smiled and nodded, then said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
Unlike the fake Shen Yixue, this girl named Chu Tong is obviously a kind-hearted person. Even after experiencing many hardships in life, she still manages to maintain a positive attitude. How could anyone not like such a person!
Even she, when she saw Chu Tong like this, couldn't help but feel a little fond of her. This is a rare good girl, but it's a pity that she is unlucky and has encountered so many hardships in her life.
"Okay, let's not talk about other things." Old Master Chu on the side spoke up. He looked at Chu Tong and said, "Tongtong, your illness this time is not just a simple problem with your body, but someone has borrowed your life."
"Borrow my life?"
Chu Tong had never heard of such a statement before. She was very surprised. "What do you mean by borrowing a life?"
"Borrowing a life, as the name suggests, means borrowing your lifespan." Zhong Nianyao explained directly, "Your lifespan has been borrowed by someone, so your vitality is constantly slipping away and entering someone else's body. If you don't find the person who borrowed your life as soon as possible, you won't be able to survive."
These words completely overturned Chu Tong's worldview and shocked her. In her past life, she had been taught a scientific worldview. However, the girl's words now were completely bizarre and supernatural.
Especially since this girl looked about the same age as her, yet she heard so many things that she found unbelievable. Furthermore, she glanced at the expressions of her family members around her, and they didn't show any suspicion at all; they even looked trusting.
This made her start to doubt herself. Was she making too much of a fuss?
Lu Yichen, who was thought to be silent, looked at Chu Tong with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Perhaps it was because he didn't like others not trusting Zhong Nianyao!
However, it was obvious that although Chu Tong had doubts, she didn't say it out loud. Furthermore, she didn't look down on him at all, but simply had some distrust.
Therefore, although Lu Yichen was dissatisfied, he did not take any action.
Chu Tong, half leaning against the head of the bed, couldn't help but shiver, but she didn't think much about it. She just wondered if there was something wrong with her body that made her feel cold?
"Don't you believe it?"
Although she asked this, Zhong Nianyao's face didn't show any sign of anger. She continued patiently, "I know you may have doubts, but this is the fact and it can't be changed."
"Also, the most important thing right now is to find the person who borrowed your life as soon as possible and get your life back. Otherwise, your life force will be plundered in the next two days. By then, it will be too late to save your life."
After taking a look at her family, Chu Tong finally believed it. She looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "I understand. I believe you. No matter how you ask me to cooperate, I will do my best."
Now she was trying hard to live. She had finally had parents and a family, and she didn't want to die. She wanted to get along well with her family and feel the warmth of her family.
"Now think carefully, have you ever picked up anything strange, or received any special gifts?" Zhong Nianyao's face turned serious. "If you find anything strange, tell us everything. Because no matter how small the matter is, there is a high possibility that there is a connection."
After trying hard to recall, Chu Tong's facial features were almost squeezed into buns, but she still couldn't think of anything, so she shook her head helplessly, "Ms. Zhong, I really can't remember. And I can be sure that I haven't picked up anything recently, and no one has given me any gifts."
After getting Chu Tong's answer, Zhong Nianyao frowned slightly, narrowed her eyes, and then continued to ask, "What about the people around you? Has anyone behaved unusually? Have they given you anything? It's very likely a small gift, but it's very unusual."
"Yes! Tongtong, you should think about it carefully!" Guan Liu's tone was a little anxious, but he was afraid of affecting Chu Tong, so he tried hard to control his emotions. "This is not a trivial matter. It concerns your life. You must think it through carefully."
Chu Tong nodded, and then began to try to recall the past. Then, her expression became a little strange.
"Sister Tongtong, have you thought of something?" Chu Xu had sharp eyes and saw it immediately. He quickly urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"But..." Chu Tong's face showed embarrassment, "I don't know if this is related to that?"
Growing up in that environment, she had long been accustomed to being cautious with her words and actions. She knew full well that the price of saying the wrong thing was a beating. Therefore, she wouldn't dare to speak carelessly unless she was sure of something. Even now that she had recognized her biological parents, this habit wasn't easy to change.
"Whether it's related or not, just tell me first!" Chu Xu was a little anxious. "We can't miss any possibility now."
"That's right." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "Tell me first and then we'll see if it matters."
Although Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu didn't say anything, their expressions were encouraging.
Seeing Chu Tong's timid appearance, they felt heartbroken. They knew full well that their daughter's condition was closely linked to her upbringing. Originally, their daughter could have grown up in a wealthy family, becoming a bold and outspoken person. However, it was their negligence that led to their daughter's upbringing in such an environment, and they were to blame.
Their greatest wish now was for their daughter to recover. Later, they would definitely find a way to double their compensation. Therefore, their most important priority at this moment was to find the cause.
