Thinking about their relationship over the years, Wenlan may have a sharp tongue at times, but she's not a bad person at heart.
In addition, since the apology was sincere, Madam Ji decided not to hold it against her and reached out to take it.
"Thanks."
Suddenly, a small hand snatched the prayer beads away.
"Wow, Mommy, these prayer beads look so pretty!" Qiqi played with the beads, her eyes full of delight. "Qiqi loves them so much, can I have them?"
Wenlan's face was contorted!
This wild girl, how can she be so unruly!
“Qiqi, this is something I specially got for your mother. It was blessed by a high monk and it matches your mother’s birth chart. It’s not really appropriate to give it to you.” Wenlan gritted her teeth, but still managed to force a gentle smile. “If you like it, Auntie will get you another one another day.”
"No, I want this one." Qiqi turned to Mrs. Ji. "Mommy, can I have it?"
Madam Ji had no reason to refuse her beloved daughter's request: "If Qi Bao likes it, then give it to Qi Bao."
Anyway, she used to feel at ease when she saw things like Buddhist beads and amulets.
But now that I have Qiqi, no matter what kind of messy things happen, Qiqi will be there to prevent any trouble.
Since Qiqi likes it, it's fine to let her have it as a little toy.
"Lanlan, you know I've never believed in these things, but thank you for your kindness anyway. Since our Qibao likes it, let's give it to her. Later, I'll buy you whatever you like to make up for it, okay?"
She'd already said all that, what else could Wenlan say?
"Since I've given it to you, you can do whatever you want with it." Wenlan was quite angry, but she still suppressed her anger and glared at Qiqi, a cold smile creeping onto her face.
Wild girl, you like to steal things, huh? I'm afraid you're lucky enough to steal them, but not lucky enough to spend them!
As for that bitch Gu Wanqing, let's see who's willing to stand up for her when she goes to beg for another one.
Qiqi played with the Buddhist prayer beads in her palm, then gave Wenlan a meaningful look, her eyes filled with coldness.
For some reason, Wenlan felt as if she had been seen through.
She lowered her head somewhat guiltily, cut a piece of steak, and put it in her mouth.
I wonder if the Taoist priest has any more of these Buddhist prayer beads. Even if he doesn't, he should have something else.
Qiqi stared at her, and seeing her eyes darting around, she knew that she was definitely plotting to harm someone again.
He glanced down at the prayer beads in his palm. They were just beads carved from a piece of wood taken from a dead person's coffin. How could they be called prayer beads?
Hmph, they're utterly ignorant of their own limitations!
She played with it for a while, her fingers almost rubbing the beads raw, before finally putting it into her crossbody bag.
The talisman and magical artifact in the bag smelled the evil energy and tried to come closer, but Qiqi slapped them away and gave them a warning glare: Behave yourself, I have a use for this bead, don't break it.
With a table blocking the way, and her child seat being too narrow, all her movements were hidden, and no one noticed her little trick.
With good things being ruined one after another, Wenlan lost her appetite and ate a steak that tasted like nothing at all.
But when I looked up, I saw that wild girl across from me was holding a chicken wing in her left hand and a chicken leg in her right, gnawing on it with grease dripping from her mouth, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Wenlan was even angrier!
All you do is eat, eat, eat! You'll stuff yourself to death!
She wished Qiqi would be stuffed to death, but she watched helplessly as Qiqi ate the entire table of food and was perfectly fine.
Looking at the stack of plates piled high, Wenlan felt like she was going to grind her teeth to dust!
When paying, she almost couldn't hold back and spat a mouthful of blood directly onto Qiqi's face.
That brat ate all her savings in one meal.
Over 100,000 yuan! This girl must be a reincarnated starving ghost, eating so much!
After paying the money, Wenlan lost all interest in staying and made up an excuse to take a taxi and leave.
On the way back, Mrs. Ji put Qiqi in a car seat.
Qiqi poked her finger and looked at Madam Ji, asking softly, "Mom, I snatched the Buddhist beads that Auntie gave you today. Do you think Qiqi is very rude?"
The dean said that it is very impolite to take other people's things without permission.
But she had no choice. In that situation, she couldn't directly tell her that the prayer beads were made of coffin wood. If she let her mother touch them, her mother would definitely be harmed by the evil energy. So, she had no choice but to snatch the prayer beads away first.
Mrs. Ji fastened her seatbelt, and when she heard this, she looked down at her and saw the troubled look on her face. She couldn't help but smile and pat her head.
“Mom knows that Qibao is a good child. There must be a reason why Qibao did this.” Madam Ji’s voice was gentle, full of trust in her little daughter. “Although Mom doesn’t know why you don’t like Aunt Wen, sometimes that’s how it is between people. You can dislike someone for no reason. Besides, Aunt Wen’s mouth is sometimes not very pleasing.”
She didn't do it without reason; that wicked woman started it.
However, she didn't say it aloud. Judging from her mother's expression, she seemed to care quite a bit about that bad woman. She decided it was better not to tell her mother for the time being, so as not to upset her.
"That's great! I'm glad Mom doesn't blame me!" Qiqi immediately cheered up and took Madam Ji's hand, saying, "Mom, please stay away from that Aunt Wen in the future. Qiqi doesn't like her. If Mom likes Buddhist prayer beads, Qiqi will make one for you. The prayer beads that Qiqi makes are much prettier than this one. This thing is dirty and doesn't deserve Mom."
"Okay." She was so touched by her little girl's thoughtfulness that she couldn't bear to refuse. "But there's no rush. You've already given your mother so much. This string of beads won't make a difference."
After returning home, Qiqi finished acupuncture on Huo Yusen and Ji Jinsu, went back to her room to catch up on her evening lessons, and then rummaged through her small bag.
After searching for a long time, she finally found a piece of peach wood that had been struck by lightning. She had found it by chance in the director's office when she was in the orphanage. The director had used it to prop up the corner of the table, and she had secretly taken it away.
However, she did get other things for Grandpa Dean, since the piece of lightning-struck wood was useless to him anyway.
Qiqi divided the wood into eighteen small pieces, first polishing them into round beads with a file, and then carving the Heart Sutra, which can calm the mind and ward off evil, onto them.
By the time all this was done, it was already dawn.
Qiqi yawned widely, looked at the bright daylight outside, released the female ghost from the red rope to accompany her in her morning prayers, and then collapsed onto the bed.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt myself swaying and sinking into a dream!
