<Gu Changsheng>'s actions were truly disgustingly repulsive to the extreme! As a result, it also affected the fortunes of the entire Gu family.
"Tang Tang is just a poor little girl, she doesn't have such great abilities."
Zhi Yao sighed, feeling somewhat regretful about how she had treated Tang Tang before.
"I know what to do now, I'll come again tomorrow, you all should prepare some of Tang Tang's favorite foods and toys from when she was alive."
The Gu family members looked at each other, somewhat incredulous, "Is it really that simple?"
Zhi Yao didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
She truly felt this family was too repulsive!
The little girl walked out in a huff, going faster and faster.
Fortunately, Pei Chiyao had long legs, and caught up with Zhi Yao in just a few strides.
He reached out to hold her hand, but Zhi Yao shook it off.
Pei Chiyao was taken aback, then smiled helplessly, "Little lady, what did I do to offend you?"
The more Zhi Yao thought about it, the angrier she became, "You men are all big jerks! Big jerks!"
There's not a single good man, Mother was right!
Pei Chiyao was inexplicably wronged, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he bent down and picked Zhi Yao up, carrying her horizontally, "I'm not."
He placed the little girl in the passenger seat, "What did I do wrong?"
Zhi Yao thought for a moment, then began counting on her fingers earnestly, "First, you're not allowed to drink milk tea or eat spicy snacks. Second, you're not allowed to stay up past midnight. Third, you don't let me play on my phone too much, afraid I'll be led astray. Fourth, you tell me that everyone in the world except you is bad..."
By the end, the little girl couldn't help but mutter, "You're really just like my mother."
In the past, her mother was just like this, not letting her do this or that. Not letting her leave Mount Baiquan, not letting her go out alone. Cautioning her that the only person she could trust was her mother.
The more she spoke, the sadder she became, thinking of her mother's smiling face and warm embrace. The little girl suddenly burst into loud sobs.
She hugged Pei Chiyao tightly, "Mother... I miss you so much... Mother..."
Pei Chiyao: "..."
The little girl's tears and snot got all over Pei Chiyao, and she cried for about five minutes before finally stopping.
Her eyes were red, like a little rabbit's.
Pei Chiyao took some tissue and gently wiped Zhi Yao's face.
"You little crybaby, just a while ago you were yelling at me, how come now you're crying on your own?"
Zhi Yao sniffled, "I was missing my mother, Pei Chiyao, don't you miss your mother?"
She seemed to have never seen Pei Chiyao's parents either.
Pei Chiyao was silent for a moment before speaking, "My parents passed away."
Zhi Yao's eyes widened in shock, "How pitiful, we're both orphans."
After saying that, she suddenly pulled Pei Chiyao into the car, straddling him and hugging his waist tightly. She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong, rhythmic heartbeat, "It's okay, I'll stay with you."
"Just now, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you."
She nuzzled Pei Chiyao's chest. Seeing Zhi Yao acting so obediently, Pei Chiyao felt his heart melting, "I like it when you get angry at me."
Like a little kitten baring its claws, very cute.
People only get angry at those closest to them, including the little vixen.
Pei Chiyao placed one hand behind Zhi Yao's head, gently stroking her long hair.
He shook his head, inwardly sighing that he was a lost cause.
He had already fallen for Zhi Yao to the point of no return.
Perhaps this feeling was love.
...
The next day, Zhi Yao finished filming early and left the crew, whose work was entering the final stages with just some wrap-up left. After shooting for another week, she would be able to complete her role.
She had originally planned to wait for Pei Chiyao so they could go to the Gu family together, but who knew Pei Chiyao had some sudden matters to attend to, so he told her to go first while he would join later.
As soon as she entered, Xiao Nuan came up to Zhi Yao, "Sister Fox..."
She said sweetly, and Zhi Yao bent down to gently pat her head.
Then, she looked up and patted the little ghost's head as well.
The little ghost had a very long scar across her face, and there were scars all over her body too. Zhi Yao didn't think much of it before, but only now... did she realize those must be scars left from the car accident.
The little ghost turned her head unhappily, not letting Zhi Yao touch her.
This vixen! As if she couldn't see through her.
Gu Old Lady hurried over to Xiao Nuan's side, "This child, your head is muddled again, what sister fox!"
Zhi Yao didn't really mind, only telling Gu Old Lady, "I have something to discuss privately with Xiao Nuan."
Gu Old Lady nodded, letting them go to Xiao Nuan's room.
As soon as they entered, Zhi Yao saw that Xiao Nuan's room had many toys.
She picked one up at random and said to Xiao Nuan, "Xiao Nuan, go ahead and play, I need to talk to Tang Tang about something."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nuan immediately froze, "You can see Tang Tang sister?!"
Zhi Yao was also surprised, "You... you know Tang Tang?"
Xiao Nuan nodded, "Tang Tang sister has always been sleeping on my back. Tang Tang sister is really nice, she tells me stories at night to help me sleep, and plays with toys with me."
Zhi Yao suddenly looked at Tang Tang.
But Tang Tang just kept her head lowered, not looking at Zhi Yao.
"Tang Tang, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, a gust of chilling wind suddenly blew through the room. Right after, Zhi Yao saw there was another woman in the room.
Tang Tang immediately tensed up, telling Zhi Yao, "Quick, run!"
"Xiao Nuan, you run too, get out of here!"
Saying that, she left Xiao Nuan's back and quickly went to stand in front of the woman, "Mother, don't hurt Xiao Nuan anymore, she's not Father's child... Mother..."
But that woman ignored her, shoving Tang Tang aside to float straight towards Xiao Nuan.
"Auntie..."
As her hand was about to grab Xiao Nuan's neck, Zhi Yao hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Nuan to block her.
"No—"
Tang Tang screamed frantically, "Quick, get away..."
But to everyone's shock, as soon as that woman's hand touched Zhi Yao's body, she looked like she had been set on fire, twisting and screaming in agony.
"Who... who are you?!"
With one look, Zhi Yao recognized this woman.
She was the pitiful first wife from the story.
She understood everything now.
Tang Tang had always been protecting Xiao Nuan, while the one truly trying to kill Xiao Nuan was Tang Tang's mother.
She had mistaken Xiao Nuan for Gu Changsheng's child with another woman...
Zhi Yao narrowed her eyes, tapping rapidly on her jade pendant, then fiercely jabbing at the female ghost's forehead.
The female ghost's eyes widened incredulously, then she vanished before everyone's eyes.
Tang Tang hurriedly got up from the floor, "Mother... where's my mother? What did you do to her?"
Zhi Yao tapped her jade pendant, "In here."
