Chapter 85 - Didnt This Woman Know She Already Had Someone?
Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser
Chi Shuyan smiled faintly. âLook at how scared you are. Why would a living person need to be scared? That person was just given a fright and his soul left his body. There was a slight problem when it returned to its original location.â
âThen why does he have two faces and two heads?â Lin Haoxing puffed out his cheeks in confusion.
âDid you take a closer look and see that his two faces and two heads are completely the same?â Chi Shuyan smiled faintly and said, âThe soul didnât fuse well, so it looks like a slight overlap. If he was possessed, two different faces would have appeared.â
âOh, so thatâs how it is.â Lin Haoxing patted his chest. âThat scared me. I really thought he was a ghost. By the way, Sister, wonât it be bad for him?â
Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment and realized that this situation was still a little complicated. The soul hadnât fused well, so it was easy to see some dirty things that normally couldnât be seen, or even attract them.
Now was the most vulnerable moment when a person couldnât receive a shock. If they were frightened a few times, the entire soul or part of it might leave the body. If they were lucky, they might come out of it unscathed.
âMaybe. In the long run, heâll either turn into a vegetable or an idiot.â Chi Shuyan thought about the cases she knew of where the souls had left the bodies. Too few of them escaped unscathed, so she took the middle ground.
Chi Shuyan finished speaking and was about to take Lin Haoxingâs hand and leave, when the door to the menâs restroom opened with a bang and two men came out.
A man stared furiously at Chi Shuyan and Lin Haoxing, rolled up his sleeves angrily and threatened, âWhat nonsense are you saying? Donât think I wonât dare hit you just because youâre a child. You really have no manners. Didnât your parents teach you what to say and what not to say? Do you like to talk about people behind their backs so much that itâs fun to spread rumors about others?â
Lin Haoxing was frightened by this manâs murderous appearance; he looked like he was going to rush up and hit someone. The boy was timid to begin with, and now, he didnât dare look at anyone. He shivered and closed his big eyes tightly, and turned around to hug Chi Shuyanâs legs in fear.
Chi Shuyan frowned and patted Lin Haoxingâs back comfortingly. She was puzzled by the manâs excessively aggressive attitude. He wasnât the host here, so why was he so angry?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Besides, what she said just now was the truth and wasnât random talk. Even if he didnât believe it, there was no need for him to get so angry and scare a child.
Chi Shuyan looked at the two who obviously didnât believe a word she said. She also didnât want to rush to bring trouble on herself. She had planned to give them a small warning, but it now seemed that it was unnecessary, so she apologized lightly. âSorry weâve offended you.â
After apologizing, she held Lin Haoxingâs hand and turned around to leave.
âWhat kind of attitude is that? No sincerity at all. Kids nowadays are really becoming more and more ill-mannered,â Qian Hongxin complained. Seeing Yang Feiyu staring fixedly at the same spot, Qian Hongxin elbowed Yang Feiyu. âFeiyu, you donât believe them, do you? Let me tell you, donât look at these types of kids like theyâre harmless; when it comes to fooling people, even adults canât compare.â
âI know; itâs just that your tone just now seemed too aggressive. After all, itâs just two kids.â Yang Feiyu snapped back to his senses.
âFeiyu, I say, youâre just too kind-hearted. You forgot what happened to me. I sympathized with a beggar on the roadside, and see what happened? That man relied on the sympathy of passersby like us to make a fortune, f*ck. Anyway, in my eyes, all beggars are liars now, especially children.â Qian Hongxin clenched his fists. âIf they dare to fool me again, Iâll beat up every single one I see.â
âHongxin, youâ¦â Before Yang Feiyu could say anything extreme, Qian Hongxin waved his hand first. âForget it, forget it, letâs not talk about this rotten thing. When are you and Xinfang getting married? Sheâs three months pregnant now. â
The corners of Yang Feiyuâs mouth went up and his eyes softened. âShould be this month.â
âYou have to treat her well. I donât think Xinfang has any sense of security,â Qian Hongxin suddenly said.
Yang Feiyu nodded seriously and patted Qian Hongxin. âDonât worry, Iâll treat her well and wonât forget the strings you, the matchmaker, pulled. Iâll give you a big red packet when the time comes.â
âHey, no need. Xinfang is just like my sister. Iâll be happy as long as you treat her well.â

Chi Shuyan led Lin Haoxing out and found that there was no one at her fatherâs table. She hurriedly grabbed a waitress and asked, âWhere did the people at that table go?â
The waitress looked at the table and said, âThey left long ago.â She gave Chi Shuyan a strange look.
âOh, thanks.â Chi Shuyan was all smiles, thinking that her dad must have found the person introduced by her grandma boring. It seemed that he had probably gone home first. She lowered her head and tapped the tip of Lin Haoxingâs nose. âIf I knew that it would be over so quickly, I wouldnât have brought you out. Come on, letâs go and pay the bill.â
Lin Haoxing pursed his lips, somewhat resentful that Chi Shuyan didnât want to take him with her, but he quickly grasped her legs with sincerity. âSister, Iâll pay the bill.â
As he spoke, he took off his backpack and fished out a large panda piggy bank.
âYou donât have to. Buy yourself candy with that money.â Saying that, Chi Shuyan was about to put the piggy bank back inside the backpack. When she took it, however, she found that it wasnât heavy with coins, but felt light as a feather. She promptly took a curious glance inside, and saw dozens of hundred-dollar bills folded into hearts; there were at least several tens of thousands of dollars in here.
Chi Shuyanâs mouth twitched. It turned out that this brat hadnât been exaggerating and was really ârich.â
Chi Shuyan sent Lin Haoxing home and called her father on the way. However, when Chi Shuyan found out that Chi Lingyan hadnât gone home yet and was instead sending the girl home, she was a bit surprised. It had to be known that her father was the kind of person who acted decisively once he made up his mind. If he had no interest in the girl, he definitely wouldnât send her home.
âSister, are you unhappy?â Lin Haoxing asked. He felt that something was off with his sister at that moment. It was a bit like⦠like⦠Lin Haoxing propped his chin in his hand and racked his brain hard. Who was she like?
Chi Shuyan shook her head. âMaybe Iâm thinking too much.â Forget the girlâs looks and family background; just the fact that she was distantly related to Big Aunt meant that this girl would definitely vent her anger on Big Aunt from now on. If she could think of this, so could her father.
Chi Shuyanâs phone rang and she pulled it out to see that it was Qi Zhenbai.
âHello, Young Master Qi. Did you need something?â
As soon as Qi Zhenbai heard Chi Shuyanâs question, he knitted his eyebrows and was somewhat displeased. It was one thing if this woman didnât remember to give him a call when she got home, but when he took the initiative to call, she actually thought something was wrong. Couldnât he call when things were fine? His handsome face instantly sank, and he said nothing for a long while.
When she didnât hear anyone speaking, Chi Shuyan pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at the name on the screen again, thinking that the signal was bad. âHey, hey, Young Master Qi, can you hear me?â
âWhen are you coming back?â After a while, a deep, magnetic male voice rang out.
The words âcome backâ were used too strangely. It wasnât like she lived there, and she thought that Qi Zhenbai was inviting her out to have fun. She thus said politely, âWeâll talk about it after the college entrance exam.â
Qi Zhenbai was obviously dissatisfied with Chi Shuyanâs cryptic words. âLet me know when you apply for the evaluation test. Your grades are good, so you should be able to enter Yanjing University.â
âYoung Master Qi, youâre putting me under a lot of pressure like this. What if I perform badly?â Chi Shuyan really didnât know where Qi Zhenbaiâs confidence came from. Even if her grades were okay, she might not get into that first-class prestigious university.
âItâs fine. Even if you donât get into Yanjing University, there are other good universities in the capital.â
Chi Shuyan: ââ¦â?Why do I have to go to a university in the capital?
âOh, Sister, I get it. Were you jealous when they went on a blind date just now?â Lin Haoxing, who had his chin in his hand on the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Recalling how his mother always looked sour when she saw his dad, he was struck with realization, and shouted loud and clear.
On the other end of the line, Qi Zhenbai heard the clear voice of a child, and caught the words âmatchmakingâ and âjealousâ in particular. He straightened his back, his handsome face turned gloomy, and his phoenix eyes flashed fiercely. Who did this woman have her eye on? Didnât she know she already had someone?
