Chapter 59: You Passed! (1)
A melodious tune of piano sounded in the silent night, mellow and tactful, but a little unusual . Then, suddenly, there was a gust of wind outside, gushing continuously, appearing like an omen .
Ye Sui and Chen Shu looked at each other, while Xi Zhao’s heart was fiercely shaken . Calming himself down a bit, he said, “Come in . ”
After entering, Ye Sui and Chen Shu noticed that the more they walked in, the clearer the piano sounded, as well as the eerie atmosphere ringing in the huge house .
When they went to the living room, a big piano became visible . There was no one on the piano stool, but the black and white keys were moving on their own . The sound of the piano was low pitched, and even if someone came, it did not stop .
Ye Sui saw a woman standing beside the piano . She had long hair, a pale face, and calm eyes . She was none other than Xi Zhao’s wife, Ning Ling .
Ye Sui took a deep breath and called out, “Ning Ling?”
Just after the words fell, the piano stopped, and Ning Ling turned to look at Ye Sui .
Ye Sui: “Can I have a word with you?”
Ning Ling nodded . She knew that Ye Sui and others were outside, so she especially played the piano to lead them in .
Xi Zhao watched Ye Sui talking to the air, and his eyes flashed with shock . Chen Shu had long been accustomed to Ye Sui doing this, his eyes having been fixed on her .
Ye Sui: “Do you have anything to say to him?” Ning Ling did not answer .
“Only when some words are spoken does the truth become clear . ” Ye Sui saw Ning Ling’s expression . Obviously, she had some grievances before she died, and there was a layer of anger written on her face .
The facial features were still beautiful, but the eyes were like a dead lake .
After a long time, Ning Ling opened her mouth . “Ten years ago, an accident happened: our daughter died . It is our common pain…”
Ning Ling and Xi Zhao blamed themselves for it . However, even though Ning Ling managed to get out of the painful memories and wanted to start a normal life with Xi Zhao, he changed .
He was often on set . Even when he went home, he busied himself in writing scripts and seldom spoke to Ning Ling . The two became more and more estranged as time went by .
Ning Ling was angry with Xi Zhao as a result . Because of his work, he forgot his daughter’s death and the feelings between them .
As Ning Ling spoke, Ye Sui conveyed her words to Xi Zhao, who was very surprised . What she had said was all that happened between him and Ning Ling, with no way for Ye Sui to know .
It turned out that his wife was really present here . Xi Zhao looked at the air beside Ye Sui with a complicated expression .
When Ning Ling spoke, she did not look at Xi Zhao at all . Instead, her eyes were filled with hatred .
Others said that Xi Zhao only loved movies, not caring about anything else . And she shared the same thought . Their daughter was dead, but he didn’t give a hoot . She was unhappy at his cold-heartedness .
She wanted to see if he would remain so unfeeling and heartless now that she was dead .
With this conviction, her soul drifted back here after her death . Ning Ling hated his indifference towards her before her death, yet this was still the place she wanted to return to the most .
Ning Ling watched Xi Zhao, who just sat there in silence for a whole day and soon began to work again .
Speaking of her experiences, Ning Ling cried . She choked up and said, “Even when I am dead, he is so indifferent . He really doesn’t love me at all . ”
Xi Zhao opened his mouth but did not speak .
Ning Ling growled as her face darkened even more . “I intentionally played the piano late at night, walked around the ground in the early morning, and sometimes also destroyed his manuscript . I don’t want him to have a comfortable life .
“People say that this place is haunted, and they can’t live here any longer . I have achieved my goal, scaring everyone away . But why hasn’t he left yet?”
