Li Xin felt a tightness in his chest. Seeing the three idiots looking at him nervously, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.
He turned to Shen Hui and asked, "Why did you come out? Last time I saw you fall flat on your face against the wall and didn't come out."
Shen Hui; "……………………"
If you can't chat, just shut up!
Jia Ming and that woman were deeply in love, but upon hearing the name Shen Hui, he immediately stood up, his face filled with fear and panic, and then looked around.
He turned around and looked at Li Xin with a gloomy expression, asking, "Did you call her Shen Hui?"
"Give me ten dollars and I'll tell you."
Jia Ming; "……………………"
He stared at Li Xin for a long time, then took out ten yuan from his wallet. Li Xin glanced at it and quickly said, "I want one yuan at a time, I don't want one-yuan notes."
Li Xin pursed his lips. He figured it was just the right amount of food to take the bus home. He planned to take the group to his grandmother's house.
Shen Hui's lips twitched. "Why do you still want money?"
"Why not? We're not related at all. Even looking up information costs data! If he asks me, shouldn't I charge him a service fee?" His grandma told him that there's no such thing as a free lunch. What's wrong with charging a little money? Besides, every freebie is a freebie.
Jia Ming's gaze darkened; he was certain that this kid knew something.
He counted out the coins one by one from his wallet and handed them to Li Xin.
"Drink! Bah!" Li Xin spat a little saliva onto his finger, then started counting the bills one by one.
The three brothers; "……………………"
Hey Xin'er! We're a wealthy family! Can you please stop acting so stingy? It's a bit embarrassing! Luckily, no one we know saw us.
Otherwise, where would they put their faces?
Jia Ming's lips twitched. What's the point of counting these one-yuan notes? Why make such a big fuss? Sure enough, a poor person is a poor person.
After receiving the money, Li Xin finally smiled a little. "Hey! Uncle, you've come to the right person. This Shen Hui! She was the school beauty of our No. 1 High School, very beautiful! It's a pity she died young, a short-lived ghost, a person without good fortune."
Shen Hui; "…………………………"
I don't know if what they said was a compliment or an insult, but it just doesn't feel right.
Jia Ming dared not miss a word he said, and listened attentively.
"That's the one who died! She was so unkempt, her face was covered in blood, and she got worse and worse at dressing up. She was supposed to be the school beauty, look! She's sitting right next to you. Look at her, wearing a red dress, no makeup, her hair is all over the place, and her lips are white and chapped. She doesn't even know how to put on some lipstick or color. She's not as good at dressing up as my grandma."
Shen Hui; "……………………"
Li Xin got more and more carried away as he talked, but he didn't see that Jia Ming's face was ashen, his lips were pale, and he was sweating profusely.
"Hey! Uncle, why are you sweating? It's not cold in October! Here, take a tissue to wipe yourself off."
Jia Ming subconsciously took the paper, and after wiping himself, he saw Li Xin hold out his hand, "Two yuan for a napkin, uncle, please pay!"
Jia Ming; "……………………"
Is this even reasonable? Are they just obsessed with money?
He silently took out two yuan and handed it to Li Xin, who counted it before putting it in his pocket.
The three brothers; "……………………"
There's no need to keep track of two dollars, is there?
Shen Hui has learned something new. Her family was also poor, but she had never been as snobbish as Li Xin!
However, seeing Jia Ming's frustrated expression made her feel good.
"Uncle, the dead can't be brought back to life. You...you should try to think more positively! Shen Hui...she's doing very well. You don't need to worry about her. Sigh! She's still filial. Look, she's sitting right next to you, looking at you with such longing! But don't be afraid. It just means you two have a good relationship. You really have a good daughter."
Li Xin thought Shen Hui was quite filial, and turned to look at her with a regretful expression.
Jia Ming: "??????"
"God, she's my daughter! I'm terrified! I killed her, I was running for my life, I wish she were dead again, and you think I care about her? You want me to go down and join her? Forget it!"
Shen Hui: "??????"
"Ha! This beast in human form is her father? He's dreaming! I just broke through to the third level of the Fiendish Ghost realm yesterday and got rid of the Earthbound Spirit. If I don't kill him tonight, he's not Shen Hui."
The atmosphere between the two touched Li Xin. The bond between father and daughter was too deep, even though they were from different worlds. Yet Shen Hui still went to great lengths to meet him. This was probably what family affection was all about.
Jia Ming didn't see Li Xin's pity and was about to pay the bill and leave, but unexpectedly...
"Uncle, it's fate that we met. Please accept my condolences for my senior's passing. How about you treat us to this meal? I didn't have a chance to attend her funeral, so this meal is my way of paying my respects as her junior. You can't refuse, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the deceased and a disrespect to me. Here's the money for the occasion, please take it."
Jia Ming stared at the one yuan in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead. He... wanted to strangle this little beast.
What's most outrageous is that Li Xin followed him around, only stopping when he paid the bill. That was utterly shameless, and he kept saying that Shen Hui was watching and telling him not to upset her, it was just the cost of a meal.
Zhang Releng; "……………………"
Hong Botao; "……………………"
Zhu Gaozhao; "……………………"
Shen Hui; "………………………"
This is simply... shameless... indescribable.
Li Xin felt relieved. He'd gotten another freebie! He'd been quietly listening to the advice his grandma had given his aunt. It really was great to get something for free.
He smiled, noticing the way his three brothers looked at him, and felt a little smug. "Brothers, admire your brother!"
"Ahem... Alright, are you done eating? If you're done, let's go to the arcade," Li Xin said arrogantly.
"Hehe...I'm done eating, let's go!"
"Mmm! I'm done eating."
"Let's go to the arcade."
As soon as they left, new customers quickly filled the void left by them.
After getting rid of the woman, Jia Ming felt a chilling wind around him, as if someone was following him.
He knew that Shen Hui must be around him. That bitch was so pretentious. She embarrassed him when she was alive, and now she's still messing with him even after she's dead.
As soon as he got home, he saw his wife doing yoga in the living room, covered in sweat and with a slightly flushed face.
Hearing the door open, she turned around and asked calmly, "Didn't you say you were going on a business trip? Why are you back?"
With a gloomy expression, Jia Ming said, "Something came up, so I can't go." As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door to a room.
The woman's eyes held indifference, and she said with a hint of flippancy, "Hmph! He'll die from a woman's body sooner or later."
Shen Hui stood in the living room, looking at the woman, her eyes bloodshot.
