He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 180 After Raising Ghosts, I Choose to Lie Down (Part 13)

Madam Wu's words were so blunt that even the battle-hardened Qianqian couldn't help but blush with anger.

With Mr. Wu present, she couldn't retaliate like a boorish person.

Her furrowed brows and tearful eyes, her aggrieved expression, made Mr. Wu's heart tremble. He cursed his wife fiercely, determined to get justice for his beloved.

Madam Wu knew what kind of person he was, so she elegantly rolled her eyes and turned away, not even glancing at him directly.

"Pah, a sour, dirty, rotten cucumber, how dare you spout nonsense."

"you you you……"

Mr. Wu was so angry that he couldn't get to the bottom of it after talking for so long, and his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

Qianqian took the opportunity to lean over and pat his chest to help him catch his breath. She secretly glared at Madam Wu, then turned her head and looked pitiful again.

"Cough cough cough."

Having witnessed a good show, Wen Yan stopped pretending to be stupid and cleared her throat, intending to take her leave.

She stood up, and Jiang Yu, who was sitting next to her, followed suit. Out of habit, he floated behind Wen Yan again, and it was only after Wen Yan tugged at him that he landed on the ground.

Jiang Yu lifted his foot to leave, but as he did so, he noticed a strong gaze. Looking up, he saw Qianqian's terrified expression.

"A ghost...there's a ghost..."

Qianqian was so frightened that she could barely speak, hiding behind Mr. Wu with a face full of fear.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu's heart skipped a beat. Then, remembering that Qianqian had been saying there were unclean things in the house, she assumed that Qianqian was talking about her son and scolded her first.

"Ghost, ghost, I'm afraid you're really going crazy from missing ghosts."

He pushed Sui Sui backward with his hands.

Perhaps because the direction of Wenyan Station was similar to that of Madam Wu, and because Madam Wu had just learned that her son had become a ghost, she reacted too strongly to the word "ghost," which caused her to overlook a problem.

Qianqian wasn't looking at her at all.

It was Wen Yan next to her.

To be precise, it was Jiang Yu, who stood next to Wen Yan with an icy expression.

As the baby was small, he was almost completely covered by Madam Wu's shield.

Jiang Yu was tall and slender, exuding a strong sense of resentment. His cold and aloof demeanor was impossible to ignore.

Wen Yan frowned and decisively grabbed Jiang Yu's hand to shield him.

Jiang Yu, who was about to make a move, stopped and looked at his hand that was being held. The resentment that had been floating back and forth subsided for a moment before slowly retracting behind his back.

Qianqian was shouting about the male ghost she had seen that was obviously not to be trifled with when Madam Wu heard that it wasn't her son and breathed a sigh of relief.

"A ghost! A ghost is behind that woman!"

Qianqian screamed even louder as she looked at the dark red resentment behind Jiang Yu. Wen Yan was confronting her.

With nothing to do, Jiang Yu lowered his head and carefully observed the whorl on Wen Yan's head.

He placed his hand on the top of her head, lightly pinched it with his fingertips, just covering the whorl of her hair, and then, suddenly feeling playful, twirled it a few more times.

Wen Yan felt an itch on her head. Knowing it was Jiang Yu, she didn't pay much attention and just continued to try to trick Qianqian.

"You say there are ghosts, but we haven't seen any. Why should we believe you?"

"But the ghost is right behind you, and he's still rubbing..."

"Alright, you say a ghost is behind me, but I didn't feel it at all. Mr. Wu's affair, I have to remind you, a ghost seen by one person is not a ghost, a ghost seen by a group of people is a ghost."

Qianqian was taken aback by her question and asked in a daze, "Really?"

"of course."

Wen Yan raised her eyebrows confidently, her bright and sparkling eyes seemed to speak volumes, and the words that came out of her thin lips were so convincing.

In Qianqian's eyes, she seemed to suddenly radiate golden light.

Qianqian was startled. She felt as if the girl in front of her had some kind of magic, and she wanted to believe everything she said.

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

Wen Yan nodded with absolute certainty.

"Young people shouldn't worry about these trivial matters. We should firmly uphold materialism and believe in science."

Wen Yan's eyes were resolute, his bright black eyes filled with trust in materialism and science.

Mrs. Wu was stunned.

No.

Didn't you just say you saw my son's ghost?

So now you're a materialist youth?

Mrs. Wu wanted to say something, but the damp, cold air suddenly climbed up her back and spread to her entire shoulder blades.

I have a bad feeling about this, so I'd better keep quiet.

Qianqian seemed to have lost all her energy, her eyes filled with a dazed look, but she finally stopped saying anything about ghosts and quietly hid behind Mr. Wu, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

Mr. Wu wanted to say something, but Qianqian pulled him away, and he immediately forgot about it.

He was busy comforting people and didn't even know when Wen Yan left. But it didn't matter whether he knew or not, he didn't care about Wen Yan.

Madam Wu came out to see them off, and Sui Sui came out with her mother.

"Miss Wen, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Rather than staying at home watching two people being all lovey-dovey and annoying, it's better to go out for a walk.

This is a villa area, and it's not convenient to take a taxi, so Wen Yan readily accepted Mrs. Wu's suggestion.

We can take Sui Sui with us and settle her in the same place.

"I'm going home, so I'll have to trouble Mrs. Wu."

"No trouble."

The villa was quite a distance from the old, run-down house where Wen Yan lived, and it took more than an hour to get there.

Mrs. Wu groped her way to pick up Sui Sui and followed Wen Yan out of the car. She was stunned the moment her feet touched the ground.

"Miss Wen, do you live here?"

The mottled plaster on the wall, dried by the wind, fell off at just the right moment, creating a desolate scene.

Mrs. Wu, wearing red-soled black leather high heels, found it difficult to find a place to stand.

"Correct."

Wen Yan was quite composed. After a brief introduction, she went upstairs first, followed by Madam Wu.

"If I may ask, does Miss Wen intend to settle Sui Sui here?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Mrs. Wu stopped and decisively took out her phone to make a call.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, we've bought that plot of land in the south of the city... Yes, that old, run-down house... I need to see the contract tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan, who was walking ahead, almost stumbled.

"Madam is going to buy this place?"

"Yes, and you can fill in your name."

Wen Yan:! ! ! !

"I'm just sorry to trouble you with all this every year."

Wen Yan: That's utterly inhumane.

However, this was exactly what Wen Yan wanted. She originally wanted to create a ghost house specifically to house wandering ghosts during their transitional period after the exorcism.

Mrs. Wu's gift was just right, but she wasn't one to only take advantage of others.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of lustrous, golden-hued jade pendant and said to Madam Wu:

"Consider this jade pendant a return gift for Madam. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Mrs. Wu kept the item with her at all times after receiving it. Just then, another phone call came in, and she had to leave because she was in a hurry to deal with the matter.

Before leaving, she touched the air again and said gently, "Mommy has to take care of something, I'll be right back, okay?"

After saying that, he got up and left.

They just weren't moving fast.

Wen Yan couldn't stand it, so she quickly took a few steps and picked up Sui Sui, who was hanging from Madam Wu's leg like a pendant.

Mrs. Wu immediately rushed downstairs as if she had sped up, disappearing in a few moments.

Sui Sui watched her mother leave with longing eyes but didn't make a fuss. She just stayed silently in the corner, becoming withdrawn again.

At this moment, Xiao Bao came out holding his head. Sui Sui was not afraid when she saw Xiao Bao without a head. She glanced at him a few times and then looked away.

Xiao Bao was completely ignored.

He was a guy with a very strong sense of pride, and he immediately started pestering Sui Sui.

Wen Yan didn't have time to inquire about the child's affairs. She lifted Jiang Yu's clothes and took out a few talismans to stick on the main entrance of the building.

Using a bit of Jiang Yu's resentment, he created a magic array.

Jiang Yu obeyed her in everything, and after realizing Wen Yan's intention to perform a magic array, he became even more proactive.

Their cooperative manner, going wherever they were told, combined with the frigid atmosphere of the temperature dropping to negative numbers, created a slightly strange incongruity.

An inappropriate description suddenly popped into Wen Yan's mind: washing underwear with a cold face.

Her face flushed, and she shook her head, dismissing all these random thoughts.
