1466 Zhuang Yanru’s Motive
Chi Shuyan didn’t hide anything and briefly recounted the matter of the Buddha in Dashan Village. Although she downplayed the situation, Teacher Yu could still sense how dangerous and frightening it had been. Teacher Yu never expected the Buddha pendant to have such a huge connection to a village, especially when Shuyan mentioned that there were no living people in the village and that there had been a magnitude 9 earthquake. Hearing this, Teacher Yu, an outsider, was in shock and felt lingering fear. Only when he heard Shuyan say that the matter with the Buddha pendant was over did Teacher Yu heave a sigh of relief.
As the two chatted, they arrived at the entrance to the neighborhood. Chi Shuyan told Teacher Yu there was no need to see them off, and took the little guy’s hand as she prepared to flag down a taxi.
Just as Shuyan was about to get into a taxi, Teacher Yu suddenly thought of something and said, “Shuyan, actually, Xiao Wei said that a strange woman approached her a few days ago and indirectly asked about Xiao Wei’s pregnancy and about you.”
Chi Shuyan paused and looked at Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu took a few steps closer and continued, “Xiao Wei said that the woman was very strange. The way she looked at her was also very strange. It was like she was looking at a dead person!”
If it wasn’t for the good relationship between the brother and sister, Xiao Wei wouldn’t have told him this. Xiao Wei had been very flustered when she ran into that woman a few days ago.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked seriously, “Teacher Yu, do you know that woman’s name? Has she looked for Sister Xiao Wei more recently?”
Teacher Yu shook his head and said, “That woman hasn’t looked for Xiao Wei for the past two days. As for her name, Xiao Wei said that she seemed very mysterious and didn’t reveal any information related to her. Wait, I remember now. Xiao Wei said that she heard the other party on the phone. Xiao Wei has good hearing, and she heard her being addressed as Miss Zhuang.”
Hearing the words “Miss Zhuang,” Chi Shuyan subconsciously thought of Zhuang Yanru. This couldn’t be considered a blind guess; Qin Qing had some connection to Zhuang Yanru. Chi Shuyan had always wondered where the Buddha pendant which Qin Qing had given to the Ruan family came from.
Now, Teacher Yu’s words reminded her that it seemed she had forgotten about Zhuang Yanru. This woman had given her a strange feeling since the beginning. She seemed like someone in the same circle as Chi Shuyan, and didn’t seem to be an ordinary woman.
What if Zhuang Yanru really had something to do with the Buddha pendant?
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan became more and more suspicious of Zhuang Yanru.
What role did Zhuang Yanru play in the matter of the Buddha pendant?
Now that the black-robed man was dead, however, Zhuang Yanru shouldn’t be able to do much.
However, she wondered if this woman had an ulterior motive for getting close to Qi Zhenbai. The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she frowned and her face didn’t look good.
Perhaps because he had stopped for too long, the taxi driver couldn’t wait any longer. He rolled down the window, poked his head out and shouted at Chi Shuyan, “Are you getting in or not? If you’re not, I’ll drive away first!”
The taxi driver had a fiery temper. Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to respond, he stepped on the gas and left.
Chi Shuyan: …
Li Yu puffed up his cheeks. “…Impertinent!”
Teacher Yu: …This child is too cute!
Chi Shuyan finally came back to her senses. Seeing Teacher Yu looking at her worriedly, and then seeing the little guy stomp his foot as he stared at the departing taxi, Chi Shuyan’s mood improved a lot. She said, “Teacher Yu, the information you provided is very useful to me. Thank you. I’m really leaving now. You can go back!”
Teacher Yu nodded and turned to leave. Before he left, he suddenly thought of his wife’s words. Just as Shuyan was about to get into another taxi, Teacher Yu suddenly said in embarrassment, “Shuyan, your sister-in-law… your sister-in-law said that she wants to ask you for a Safety Talisman. Is it convenient?”
To be honest, Teacher Yu never dreamed that he would one day ask his student for talismans. After all, he had been a staunch materialist before. However, after all the things that had happened, Teacher Yu’s thoughts had changed drastically. It was just that he was still a little embarrassed to ask his student for talismans. If he didn’t ask, however, given his wife’s temper, she would definitely turn the world upside down later, and so would his mother.
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. Without thinking, she generously gave Teacher Yu a few Safety Talismans.
Teacher Yu took them with a red face. He still wanted to say a few more words, but he saw the little guy next to Shuyan looking at him curiously as he ate his snacks.
Teacher Yu saw that the little guy actually had a braided hairstyle. This child was really cute. He was good-looking and obedient!
Thinking of the child’s casual use of the word “impertinent” and his old-fashioned hairstyle, however, he felt that he was too deeply affected by TV!
Teacher Yu didn’t think that this child was Shuyan’s son, and thought that they were siblings. After the two got into the car, Teacher Yu advised earnestly, “Shuyan, watch your brother more in the future and don’t watch those brainless TV dramas! If it really doesn’t work out, I have a lot of famous works that this child can take back for a look. Even if he can’t understand them, he can still learn a little!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Li Yu: …
Fortunately, the taxi driver this time was just as impatient. Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to reply, the driver stepped on the gas and drove away. Seeing Teacher Yu’s figure get further and further away in the rearview mirror, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed the little guy’s head.
Li Yu was already very dependent on Chi Shuyan. He rested his little head on her stomach and giggled. As he smiled, he raised his little head and asked, “Shuyan, was this royal one good today?
“By the way, Shuyan, can you bring this royal one here again next time? This royal one still wants to watch the show!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan was also speechless at how nosy this little guy was. It turned out that when the Yu and Yang families were quarreling just now, this kid really thought that it had been a show!
“Isn’t it just two women fighting over a man? This royal one once watched it on TV, but why didn’t Sister Xiao Wei slap that scumbag today?”
Chi Shuyan: …
“If it were me, I would have definitely slapped that scumbag!”
