Chapter 109 Gloating over misfortune
Chapter 109 Gloating over misfortune
Jiang Ning whispered in a very low voice:
"We should be the ones gloating over this."
Unexpectedly, the puppy didn't hear it, but the driver heard it clearly. He looked at Jiang Ning in the rearview mirror.
"Ah? Miss, what did you say?"
Jiang Ning waved his hands and said defensively:
"Oh, no, no, I was just talking nonsense, you heard it wrong."
Only now did she truly realize what it meant to "cover one's own secrets".
The car drove all the way back to Li Yiming's villa.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Ning felt that everyone's face was shrouded in a layer of tension, and the whole atmosphere became strange.
Jiang Ning randomly asked an aunt:
"Auntie, where's my brother?"
Thinking of her aunt, she acted as if she didn't hear her words, continued to do her own work, and ignored Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning now felt really strange. Logically speaking, no matter what, her aunt shouldn't ignore her. After all, she was her boss's biological sister.
She tried to pull the aunt again, but the result was the same. She still ignored her.
Jiang Ning was speechless and was about to retort, but the puppy behind her said to her:
"Hurry up and find a safe place to hide. Something is wrong here. If you stay any longer, you will be in danger!"
This sentence suddenly woke Jiang Ning up from her trance. She should have realized that something was wrong here.
Jiang Ning lowered his voice and asked the puppy:
"Where are you going to hide? This is someone else's house!"
The puppy immediately showed her a clear way:
"Go to your room! Quick!"
Jiang Ning took two steps at a time and went up the stairs, then followed the route she remembered to the room where she stayed last night.
He locked the door immediately upon entering, which made her feel a little more secure.
She thought back carefully. Before the door was closed, it seemed as if everyone's eyes were looking towards her room at the same time. There was speculation and staring in their eyes. In short, it made Jiang Ning feel very uncomfortable.
She leaned against the door and asked the puppy:
"What's going on? Didn't we agree to go home and rest? Why did you get so scared?"
The puppy jumped in the air, revealing its half-visible arm, and answered Jiang Ning's question, saying:
"I don't know. Anyway, my intuition tells me that the atmosphere here has changed."
He then added a specific example:
"And when I first came here, the aunt did see me. I don't know why I suddenly became a physical being, so I was seen by everyone except you."
Jiang Ning covered her head and slid down the door. She lay on the ground and looked at the ceiling:
"Huh? What are these things? Why do I hear such a mess?"
The gorgeous chandelier on the ceiling caught Jiang Ning's eyes. She blocked her sight with her arms. For some reason, she felt sleepy.
Half asleep and half awake, Jiang Ning felt as if he had a dream.
Gu Yuan was in the dream, but he was not dead at that time, and Jiang Ning did not insist on traveling to that damn place.
Later, Gu Yuan insisted on stopping Jiang Ning from traveling to that place.
But Jiang Ning felt that Gu Yuan wanted to keep her by his side, so Jiang Ning slapped Gu Yuan.
The dream ended here. Jiang Ning felt like a very long time had passed, but when she glanced at the clock on the wall, she found that only 15 minutes had passed.
Jiang Ning had no idea what this dream meant. Was it a projection of her inner thoughts, or was Gu Yuan trying to tell her some news? However, she couldn't tell him in reality and could only convey it in her dreams.
She just felt a terrible headache, but she couldn't explain why.
The puppy flew to her and said:
"Having a nightmare?"
Jiang Ning looked at the puppy in disbelief, as if she had finally found someone who was on the same wavelength as her, and asked, "How did you know?"
"Of course I saw it. I was watching you in your dream the whole time. Didn't you notice?"
Jiang Ning covered her head, feeling a throbbing pain, and the content of her dream seemed to be about to disappear from her memory.
"Bang bang bang-"
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Ning's head was still leaning against the door. The sound scared her so much that her hair stood on end.
She almost jumped up from the ground like a frightened cat.
Jiang Ning turned his head and said to the puppy:
"Hide! Don't let them see you! Quick!"
The puppy wisely hid aside.
After making sure it was hidden, Jiang Ning readjusted his tone to face the people outside.
"Who is it?"
She shouted angrily.
A familiar and kind female voice came from outside the door:
"Ms. Jiang, it's me, Aunt Wu."
Jiang Ning brainstormed for a while and thought carefully. There was indeed such an Aunt Wu, and she was the one who delivered meals to her twice last night.
She came back to her senses, trying not to let outsiders see the change in her emotions, then she opened the door and said to Aunt Wu in a normal tone:
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Jiang Ning lowered his head and saw Aunt Wu holding a plate of food. Her face was still the same as yesterday, still so friendly, unlike the others who suddenly changed today.
Aunt Wu brought the dish to Jiang Ning and said:
"Miss, this is our newly developed dish, please try it."
She looked eagerly at the scene in Jiang Ning's room, but because Jiang Ning only opened the door a crack, no matter how hard she looked, she could only see the area around the door.
Then, she suddenly leaned her head closer to Jiang Ning and said mysteriously:
"Miss, you should have noticed something is wrong at home today, right? I know why. Please let me in."
Jiang Ning still found it hard to believe. She had only been out for a while, so why did everyone suddenly become so weird?
She looked Aunt Wu up and down, thought about it and decided to take a gamble. Anyway, she had no one to rely on around her, so she might as well trust Aunt Wu for once.
If anything unexpected happens, I can find someone to be with me.
Aunt Wu almost squeezed herself in through the crack in the door. As soon as she came in, she quickly locked the door and then pulled Jiang Ning to the inner bedroom.
"Aunt Wu, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ning was still confused, but Aunt Wu made a silencing gesture to Jiang Ning, indicating that Jiang Ning should shut up.
The puppy hid in the dark, watching Aunt Wu's every move.
Auntie said nervously:
"Miss, the situation outside has changed now. That master is just a half-baked master. We all thought he got rid of the ghost, but in fact he didn't."
After Jiang Ning heard this, her pupils dilated. She had never expected that such an accident would happen.
Auntie pushed Jiang Ning to the corner, hugged her and said:
"Now everyone else outside has basically been assimilated, so they look at you in such a strange way, because you are not the same kind as them."
Then, she mysteriously took out a handful of something that looked like flour from her bosom and said to Jiang Ning:
"Miss, take this, it can save your life."
"what is this?"
Jiang Ning asked, and then she touched the mass with her fingers. It was icy and delicate to the touch, more like talcum powder.
But the aunt’s next reply made Jiang Ning unforgettable for the rest of his life.
"Miss, this is the ashes left after the master burned the ghost's body to death."
"What……"
Jiang Ning's heart seemed to stop at that moment. Was it possible that what he touched just now was ashes?
She pushed the packet of white powder away with disgust:
"Take it away quickly, isn't this thing even more unlucky?"
"Miss, you still don't know."
The aunt carefully put away the powder and told Jiang Ning in detail how the master exorcised the ghost.
At the end, the master asked them to clean up the debris on the ground, but only Aunt Wu did it. She was the only one who touched the white powder with her hands, and it has not been assimilated until now.
Aunt Wu advised Jiang Ning earnestly, saying:
"Miss, you better believe me. I really want this for your own good. My husband is not coming back, and you are the only one I can rely on."
Jiang Ning couldn't make up her mind either. She looked at the puppy in the corner, asking for its opinion.
The puppy nodded at Jiang Ning thoughtfully.
Jiang Ning took the white powder and said:
"Okay, I believe you. It won't be a big deal if we just hide forever. What should we do?"
"There is a way, there is a way."
The aunt's expression relaxed all of a sudden, which made Jiang Ning begin to question herself and wonder whether her decision was right.
