Seeing his awkward expression, Madam Ji couldn't help but feel disgusted: "How can you teach your daughter like this? Qi Bao is so young, and you're already telling her these things."
The most crucial point is that if he were simply teaching his daughter to guard against bad people outside, that would be fine, but he's just jealous and possessive.
"Qibao, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. You can do whatever you want in the future. As long as our Qibao is happy, Mom will always support you!"
Qiqi immediately cheered up, hugged Madam Ji, and rubbed her soft face against her cheek: "Mmm, Mommy is so good, Qiqi loves Mommy the most."
My mother is such a good person, yet she's keeping that bad woman a secret from her. If my mother finds out, won't she be angry with her?
Thinking this, Qiqi's face fell.
She didn't want her mother to be angry.
"What's wrong?" Noticing her beloved daughter's mood, Madam Ji quickly asked softly.
Qiqi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her mother about it and let her mother make the decision herself.
So she said, "Mom, I'm sorry, there's something Qiqi didn't tell you."
Seeing her little girl's guilty and uneasy expression, Madam Ji found it amusing and couldn't help but pat her head: "What happened? It's so serious that our little Qi Bao is so scared that her face has turned pale."
"Mommy, that Aunt Wen is a big bad person. She wants to harm you." Qiqi twisted her fingers as she spoke, while secretly glancing at her.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji's expression changed: "What? Qi Bao, explain yourself clearly."
“The curse that Mom was under last time was caused by this Aunt Wen. I can smell the stench of the curse on her.” After saying that, Qiqi took out the Buddhist beads that Wenlan originally intended to give to Madam Ji from her bag, but she put a talisman to suppress evil spirits on them. “The Buddhist beads that she gave to Mom are also harmful things.”
Qiqi peeled off the talisman paper from the Buddhist beads, and the suppressed evil energy soared into the sky, with an indescribable stench spreading throughout the carriage.
Ji Chengfeng and his wife both changed color. Ji Chengfeng wrinkled his nose, and his wife covered her mouth, saying, "Why does it smell so bad?"
Buddhist prayer beads are usually made of bodhi seeds, and those that have been blessed will have the scent of sandalwood. They would never be like these, which smell like they were fished out of a cesspool and are extremely foul.
Seeing that her parents could smell the talisman, Qiqi quickly put it back on.
Then he explained, "Because this is not a Buddhist rosary at all, but a bead made from a coffin board that is covered in evil spirits."
"What?" Madam Ji was horrified, and her expression turned ugly.
She never expected that Wenlan would give her such a gift.
Qiqi put the beaded string back into her bag and looked at Madam Ji, saying, "So Qiqi didn't intentionally steal the gift that Aunt Wen gave to Mom. It's just that this thing has too much evil energy, and it's bad for ordinary people's health if they come into contact with it."
"I'm sorry, Qibao, Mommy didn't know." Although she believed that Qibao had her reasons for doing this, she never expected it to be for this reason.
Qiqi shook her head, reached out and touched Madam Ji's face, being incredibly obedient: "Mommy, don't be sad. It's not worth being sad for such a bad person."
"Mom isn't sad." Madam Ji's face was grim, and her emotions were difficult to calm. "Nannan just can't understand why she did that."
She prided herself on having treated Wenlan well; the two had been best friends since high school, and over the years, she had always considered her her best friend and trusted her completely, never imagining that she would actually hurt her.
Qiqi didn't understand either. In her previous life, she had never figured out where the malice in a person's heart came from.
"Mom, I heard her say that at the restaurant that day..."
Qiqi repeated what she had overheard in the bathroom. After hearing it, Madam Ji's face turned pale, and her expression became even more bitter.
It turns out that all the malice stemmed from just two words.
envy!
She was jealous that Ji Chengfeng chose her instead of Wenlan.
He was jealous that she married better than him!
Even though she was always worried that Wenlan would feel disappointed, she was very careful to avoid anything that might make her uncomfortable, and secretly took care of their family business, wanting Wenlan to have a better life.
But all her sincerity was rewarded with Wenlan wanting her dead!
Ji Chengfeng, standing to the side, was ashen-faced, wishing he could immediately grab Wenlan and tear him to pieces.
He did meet Wenlan first, but he only saw her as an ordinary junior. It wasn't until he met Wanqing that he fell in love with her at first sight.
Even when he was first pursuing her, Wanqing avoided him like the plague, so there was no truth to the claim that Wanqing snatched him away from her.
Looking back now, I think Wanqing avoided him back then because she knew Wenlan liked him and didn't want to compete with her good friend.
Fortunately, his persistence eventually moved Wanqing, and he was able to win the heart of his beloved.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he got eliminated.
Over the years, his wife has supported Wenlan and her husband immensely, but Wenlan has always harbored resentment towards his wife, even the gifts he gives her are calculated.
Gift?
Ji Chengfeng suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Qibao, she has given your mother some gifts over the years. Could there be something wrong with those too?"
He's now so paranoid that he can't trust Wenlan at all.
"I'll know after I see it, Dad," Qiqi said, not giving a definitive answer.
"Okay, when we get back we'll find those things and let you take a good look at them."
Ji Chengfeng told the driver to drive faster. After arriving home, he and Madam Ji immediately took Qiqi back to their bedroom.
The gifts Wenlan gave to Madam Ji weren't particularly valuable, but because they were from a good friend, Madam Ji cherished them and stored them all in the storage room of the master bedroom's walk-in closet.
"The things she gave me are all in that box on the top shelf." Madam Ji usually dresses very simply and doesn't like to wear jewelry; she only wears it on special occasions.
However, the ones Wenlan gave her were not really suitable for wearing to those occasions.
So Madam Ji put it in a box and placed it on the top shelf of the storage shelf.
Ji Chengfeng stepped on the shelf and carried the box down. As soon as he opened it, Qiqi felt a wave of yin energy rushing towards her.
The things the wicked woman gave to my mother were all soaked in evil energy.
"Dad, Mom, all these gifts have evil energy on them," Qiqi said truthfully.
Ji Chengfeng's face suddenly turned gloomy. He reached out to support the swaying Madam Ji, and felt extremely distressed seeing her pale and unable to accept it.
"Wasn't I good enough to her? Why did she do this?!" Madam Ji couldn't understand.
She believed she had done everything she could, so why did Wenlan have to do this?
"In this world, bad people always have all sorts of strange reasons, and we are unable to empathize with them."
