Chapter 21: Grandma, I’m going to scare you!
The Ye family lives in an upscale residential area in Jiangcheng.
"Our house is quite big. My sister's room has always been there. If you don't mind, you can sleep in my sister's room, which is next to mine. If you mind, you can sleep in the master bedroom on the second floor. Although our house is not a big villa like the Jun family's, it is also a duplex, which is big enough for us to live in!" Ye Qingtong took Gu Ji's hand and walked into the door.
The moment the door was pushed open, an old man holding a stick and with red eyes stood at the entrance.
Ye Qingtong and Ye Zheng screamed in fright.
"Grandma, why are you standing here?!" Ye Qingtong shuddered with fear, "You almost scared me to death!"
Ye Zheng also frowned, "Mom, what's with that expression? Didn't I tell you what time I'd come home today?"
"I wonder who dares to let her in today!" Liu Chunling stomped her feet. She had a plump figure and a fleshy face, and the flesh on her face trembled when she stomped her feet.
She raised her eyes and looked at herself with a very unfriendly look.
Ye Zheng walked forward, protecting Gu Ji behind him, "Mom, didn't we already agree on this? I adopted Jiji, she's my daughter now, where else can she live if she doesn't move in?"
"What daughters?! Your daughters are only Qingtong and Lingyan! You didn't bring Lingyan back, but brought back a wild girl who doesn't even have your last name. I don't agree!"
Liu Chunling's eyes were red. "Your own daughter's body is lying on the altar!"
"Mom!" Ye Zheng felt a headache. "We had already agreed to this, and you agreed to it. Why are you going back on your word now?"
Ye Zheng has been working away from home these years, and Ye Qingtong grew up with Liu Chunling. Liu Chunling is very strict, but she also loves children very much. This gave him a lot of headaches and made him feel a little embarrassed for a while.
Liu Chunling snorted coldly, "If you want to let this wild girl in, that's fine. I put Lingyan's ashes in her room. If this wild girl doesn't mind sleeping with Lingyan, then I have nothing to say."
Gu Ji looked towards the room on the right side of the first floor.
The curtains in the room were closed, an altar was placed beside the bed, and red fake candles created a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
Just one look at it makes your scalp tingle.
Ye Qingtong felt a chill down her spine, shaking with anger. "Grandma, I lost my sister because of you! You didn't believe we would have two! Jiji has suffered so much over the years, and if it weren't for Jiji, I wouldn't have been able to seek justice. Do you know that the one I love the most is Jiji? If she knew that your grandma treated her beloved friend like this, she would never forgive you in her life!"
"Ye Qingtong! Shut up!" Ye Zheng shouted angrily.
After saying this, Liu Chunling's face turned pale.
Gu Ji also pieced together what happened that year from her words.
Liu Chunling was taking care of two children alone, and she was not careful enough, which led to Lingyan being abducted by human traffickers.
Over the years, there has not been a single day when she didn't feel guilty, heartbroken, or regretful. Even in the dead of night, her soul was tortured all the time.
When Lingyan's ashes returned to her hands, she couldn't even cry.
My tears have long dried up in those days of longing.
She stumbled back twice, and Gu Ji subconsciously tried to support her, but she shook him off. "I held Lingyan's urn just like when she was born, so light and small. It's my fault, but I can't make the same mistake over and over again. I can't let you take her place. I can't let you forget her!"
Liu Chunling was almost paranoid, and Ye Qingtong was so angry that her chest heaved.
It was Gu Ji who rubbed her face and said, "It's okay, sister. I'll tell you."
Gu Ji raised his hand and said, "Show it to grandma. This is the red string Yanyan gave me. She condensed her life force and left it to me to protect me. She said that grandma went to the Taoist temple to ask for it. Sister Qingtong also has it, right?"
When Liu Chunling saw the red rope, a tender and soft light flashed in her eyes, but then she suddenly became fierce and walked over quickly, trying to pull the red rope off.
But the red rope was firmly tied around Gu Ji's wrist.
It even emitted a scalding temperature, burning Liu Chunling so much that she cried out in pain.
She looked at Gu Ji with an even more hostile look, "Ye Zheng and Qing Tong said you were some kind of celestial master, very capable, but I think you were just playing tricks!"
"You're a liar, you're a fatherless and—Ah!"
Liu Chunling was so frightened that her vision went dark. A knife flashed with a cold light and was hanging in the air facing her.
She turned left, the knife turned left.
She turned right, the knife turned right.
"This...what the hell is this."
"Yan Luo, come back!" She scratched her head. When did he run away?
The Yama Slashing Knife twisted the blade, its intention was very clear: you can tolerate this damn old woman scolding you, but I can't!
What scared Liu Chunling was that the knife was not controlled by anyone and was just floating in the air.
The blade still faintly emitted a blood-red mist, and it was obvious that it was an extraordinary object.
Ye Qingtong's eyes rolled, and she deliberately lowered her voice, "Grandma, actually Jiji can do more than just see ghosts. We adopted her because she and our family were enemies in our past life. You know this, right? We owed her in our past life. If we treat her badly, the knife in her body will chop us all off! When you die, you'll haunt my dad and cause all his companies and factories to go bankrupt!"
When my dad dies, he’ll come after me and make it so I can’t finish my studies. I might even die before I’m thirty—”
She lowered her voice, "Jiji, give my grandma a good beating!"
Gu Ji: "...Ah? How cruel can I be?"
"You're just trying to scare my grandma! You're trying to scare her! Don't worry, my grandma has a checkup every six months, and her heart is in great shape, so there won't be any problems. Trust me!"
Gu Ji pursed his lips, his heart was conflicted, and finally he made up his mind.
She didn't mind sleeping with Yanyan's ashes, and she needed to accumulate reputation points, so living in Uncle Ye's house was definitely the best for now.
She is reluctant to let her go now.
Finally, Gu Ji took a step forward.
Ye Qingtong and Ye Zheng looked at each other and cheered her on in their hearts!
Gu Ji coughed lightly, quietly drew a transformation talisman on his palm, and imagined what the Thousand Skin Ghost looked like.
Then--
"Ah!!! Grandma, I scared you!!!——"
Ye Qingtong: “……?”
Ye Zheng: “……………………”
The father and daughter held their foreheads in their hands. Isn’t this going to scare them to death? Is this going to make them cute to death?
However, in Liu Chunling's eyes, the skin on Gu Ji's face suddenly cracked, his face turned pale and gray, and maggots began to seep out of his pores.
The mouth was split to the ears, and you could see the white teeth and gums, and even the bones that could not be covered by the skin.
"If you don't let me live, I will cling to you forever—forever—ah ah ah ah—forever—"
Gu Ji was showing his fangs and claws, Liu Chunling rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
She was startled and quickly squatted down to check.
Fortunately, it’s nothing serious, just too frightened.
"Hurry up and lift grandma onto the bed, give her a hand!" Gu Ji squatted on the ground and looked up at Ye Qingtong.
Small.
Like a small figurine.
Ye Qingtong was almost fainted by cuteness.
She looked at her grandmother again and wondered how she had fainted. Could it be that she was also fainted by cuteness?
