Chapter 1441 - 1441 Returning to the Capital (1)

1441 Returning to the Capital (1)

Chi Shuyan nodded at him. Seeing that he had already come downstairs, she didnt bother anymore, and simply waited for him to come and get breakfast.

But before Chi Shuyan could put the tray back, the man had already come downstairs and was standing behind her. He pursed his lips and said, Did you prepare this for me?

When the man asked the question, his eyebrows were no longer as cold as before, and his face was quite gentle. Chi Shuyan didnt deny it. The porridge had already been ladled out, and she couldnt pour it back, so she simply handed the tray to the man in front of her and said, Have some breakfast. Theres still half an hour left!

Qi Zhenbai took the tray, and his dark eyes grew even darker as he watched her turn around and go upstairs.

In the end, he didnt waste any more time. He took the tray and chose a seat opposite Feng Yuanlin. He picked up the spoon expressionlessly and ate the porridge one mouthful at a time. His movements were neither fast nor slow, and his bearing was regal.

Because of what happened last night, Feng Yuanlin wanted to approach his friend, but was wary and suspicious. After holding it in for a long time, he couldnt help but probe a lot about their past personal affairs. Unfortunately, although Qi Zhenbai was still expressionless, he answered smoothly. As he answered, he stared faintly at Feng Yuanlin. There was no warmth in his eyes at all, and there was even a hint of disdain. Feng Yuanlins heart jumped and he choked. He hurriedly waved his hand in surrender. Friend, dont dont look at me like that. Im scared of you!

Time pa.s.sed, and it was soon 10:30am. There was no need to remind everyone; they gathered at the hotel entrance and prepared to return to the capital. Director w.a.n.g and the others took one van, and Yan Zhengming drove.

Xiao Shan drove another car. Everyone was about to get in, when Aunt Miao suddenly stopped and said to Chi Shuyan, Miss Chi, Im not going back to the capital with you. Im going to take the child somewhere else!

At the mention of the child, everyone followed her gaze and saw the beautiful little guy obediently standing next to Aunt Miao under an umbrella. Compared with his muddle-headed state last night, the little guys eyes were darting around at that moment. He was very animated and beautiful, though his face was too pale and he looked a little sickly. He also had a shy personality. Every time someone looked at him, the little guy was very embarra.s.sed and smiled especially bashfully. Not to mention Chi Shuyan, even Director w.a.n.g, Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong and Yan Zhengming felt that the little guy was too cute.

Director w.a.n.g had been prepared to cast the little guy in his movie. When he heard that Aunt Miao was going to take him away, he was a little anxious. He strode over and said, Why dont you come back to the capital with us? Its good to raise a child in the capital. If this child needs help, I can help sponsor him, and also you, Grandma!

When he said the word grandma, the atmosphere fell silent.

Director w.a.n.g wasnt some sort of philanthropist, but he was willing to sponsor the child this time. For one thing, he liked this child. For another, after having his worldview overturned so many times, Director w.a.n.g felt that it was safer to be a good person in this world. Besides, he had done all sorts of wicked things for benefits in the past. He felt guilty now and was afraid of retribution. He was anxious to do good deeds to clear his name.

Xu Tong had liked the little guy before, and the more she looked at him now, the more she liked him. She gave Ruan Shenglin a look, wanting him to go over and say a few words. In fact, if the little guy didnt have Aunt Miao, Xu Tong would have adopted him.

The others didnt sense anything strange about this child, but Ruan Shenglin could clearly discern the strange difference between the childs behavior at night and during the day. He could also guess the little guys true ident.i.ty from Aunt Miaos account last night. As for how this child could come back from the dead, he didnt dare guess much. In fact, he was more inclined toward another possibility. Ruan Shenglin looked in the childs direction.

Sure enough!

There was no sign of the little guys shadow on the ground. Ruan Shenglin took a closer look and only saw the shadow of the small umbrella on the ground; under the umbrella, there was no shadow at all. Ruan Shenglin couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver. No matter how beautiful the little guy was, the difference between a human and a ghost subconsciously terrified him.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Director w.a.n.g a few times, took in Ruan Shenglins terrified gaze, and curled her lip.

At that moment, Aunt Miao turned down Director w.a.n.gs offer without hesitation. Her character wasnt as strange as before; she was quite grateful for Director w.a.n.gs sponsors.h.i.+p offer, and her att.i.tude was friendly.

Director w.a.n.g still wanted to say something to persuade her, but he suddenly remembered that she was an expert in Gu worms. He immediately shut up obediently and didnt dare mention it again.

While Director w.a.n.g and Aunt Miao were talking, Chi Shuyan held the little guys hand and stood in front of him. She circulated her spiritual energy and injected it into the little guys soul, making it more solid and improving his complexion.

Aunt Miao sensed Chi Shuyans act and saw the improvement in the little guys expression, and was naturally very grateful. Chi Shuyans attention was all on the little guy. She half-knelt in front of him and said a few words to him. She then took out a few bottles of Soul Condensing Pills and handed them to the little guy, telling him to hide them well and take one every day.

The little guy wasnt in a hurry to take the pills, even though they looked very attractive to him. He looked up at Aunt Miao eagerly. Aunt Miao also vaguely sensed that the bottles which Miss Chi had given her son contained medicinal pills. She knew that they were precious and rare, but she couldnt refuse them. If it were any other medicinal pill, no matter how rare and precious it was, Aunt Miao wouldnt take it. However, she really couldnt refuse this Soul Condensing Pill.

Aunt Miao was moved to tears of grat.i.tude and nodded at the little guy. When he took the pills, Aunt Miao took a deep breath and said solemnly, Miss Chi, Im the stupidest and dont know how to talk. I only know a few words, but I still have to thank you. By the way, Im prepared to take the child back to the Miao family in Chen Village. My real name is Miao Yue. If you need anything, Miss Chi, you can look for me! As long as I can help, Ill definitely do my best!

Because of the Nourishment Pill, Sister-in-law Miaos condition had improved. She had originally stopped coughing, but she was too stirred up now, so she couldnt help but cough again. She coughed a few times and coughed up blood. Director w.a.n.g and the others were scared witless, afraid that something had happened to her.

Aunt Miao immediately wiped the blood from her lips and said that she was fine.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment and decided to go all the way. She took out a few bottles of Nourishment Pills to give to Aunt Miao. This time, Aunt Miao was unwilling to accept these Nourishment Pills even if she was beaten to death. She felt very uneasy taking too many.

Aunt Miao knew that the Gu King she had given to Miss Chi was precious and rare, but it was really nothing to Miss Chi. It was precisely because of this that Aunt Miao was unwilling to take more and repeatedly refused, saying that she was fine.

Chi Shuyan found her weakness and said, Dont forget that you have to take care of yourself, Aunt Miao. As long as you take care of yourself and get better, you can take good care of this child.

Seeing Aunt Miaos expression soften a little, Chi Shuyan continued, This child likely didnt have a good life since young. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. No one else will be as meticulous and patient as you in taking care of this child! Besides, these Nourishment Pills are really nothing rare to me. Take this pill and youll recover quickly. Think about the child!

As Chi Shuyan spoke to Aunt Miao, she didnt notice Director w.a.n.g, Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Song Yanrus expressions change. They stared at the pill bottles with burning eyes. Director w.a.n.gs eyes were like light bulbs, his gaze the hottest.

At that point, Aunt Miao also knew that Miss Chi was sincere in helping her and her son. It would be a little unreasonable to refuse again. Aunt Miao gritted her teeth and took the pills with shaking hands. She remembered that she hadnt finished talking about Dashan Village last night, and said, Miss Chi, do you still want to know what happened in Dashan Village? Ill definitely tell you everything I know! For example, about the life and death of the Pan family, and how I survived in the village for decades!

This was Aunt Miaos biggest secret. She hadnt planned to reveal it last night, but she planned to be honest today, as long as Miss Chi asked.

Chi Shuyan really wasnt inclined to probe Aunt Miaos secrets to satisfy her curiosity. Who didnt have secrets?

She guessed that Aunt Miao had been hiding this secret all this time, and it was probably her last resort to protect herself. In that case, she was tactful and didnt want to ask more. Besides, she wasnt curious or greedy enough to want anything from Aunt Miao. It was better to get along with her. So, Chi Shuyan refused without hesitation. No need. Since the matter with the village has ended, its over. As for the Pan family, you dont have to say much. I can guess the outcome!

For such a person who was obsessed with power and ambition, the life and death of his family probably didnt matter much to him. This was human nature!
