Chapter 211 Strange Events
Cheng Ai noticed his predicament and immediately drew five peace talismans and handed them over, saying, "One hundred thousand each, normal price."
Ye Jingke caught it blankly, staring at her without blinking, utterly shocked. "Ai Ai, you don't mind Aunt Hui tearing up the talisman?"
"That's why I'm taking the money!" Cheng Ai scurried onto the bed and rolled under the covers, pretending to be impatient as she urged, "Hurry up and get rid of that annoying man. I'm so sleepy and want to rest."
Ye Jingke's eyes were red, and he turned around and went downstairs impatiently.
Although I can draw talismans myself, Ai Ai's talismans are more meaningful.
He cares about her feelings, and she considers his feelings in return. Their mutual sacrifices are the greatest happiness.
The bedroom was at a comfortable temperature, and the blue tulips on the bedside table emitted a delicate fragrance, making Cheng Ai drowsy.
Before she knew it, she found herself in a warm embrace.
Immediately afterward, her breath was taken away; the other person was gentle yet domineering, yet cautious.
Cheng Ai gave a token response before drifting off to sleep.
Before losing consciousness, she seemed to hear, "Ai Ai, thank you."
The next day, the sky was overcast, a light drizzle was falling, and the autumn wind was chilly.
After breakfast, Ye Jingke took Cheng Ai to the Lü family's house, while he rushed off to a meeting at Shengding International.
He sold all his shares in Xunliao Beauty Salon at a low price in the early hours of last night, and he needs to explain this to the board of directors.
Li Xiaolin was still asleep, while Cheng Ai sat on the sofa like a queen, being served by a group of people without any guilt.
Lu Hanmo peeled melon seeds, his mother Zhou Qi washed fruit, his father Lu Yan brewed tea, his mother-in-law Lu Xiao prepared lunch, his father-in-law Li Ao steamed cakes, and the servants massaged his shoulders and backs and swept the floor. The division of labor was clear.
Cheng Ai held a cup of tea in her left hand and an apple in her right, her eyes darting around.
If the living room is fine, then the problem must be elsewhere.
She stood up and went into the kitchen, startling Lu Xiao and Li Aoshou. "Miss Cheng, the air here isn't good. Please go out. Just call out what you want to eat from outside the door."
Cheng Ai smiled and nodded, glancing around before turning and leaving, surrounded by Lü Hanmo and the others.
She then went to the balcony, the storage room, and the guest room; apart from the master bedroom, every place was deserted.
Finding nothing amiss, Cheng Ai returned to the living room, drank the tea in one gulp, and looked thoughtful.
Lu Hanmo pushed a small dish of melon seeds in front of her and asked softly, "Little Ai'ai, how is it? Have you found the reason?"
Cheng Ai munched on the apple, while Lü Yan and Zhou Qi exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with nervousness.
Last night, on a whim, they came to visit their daughter-in-law and happened to overhear some strange things at the door.
The two were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths, and immediately rushed in to find out what was going on.
Zhou Qi was confused after hearing this, but Lü Yan was convinced because he had also had an unbelievable experience.
Fifteen years ago, on his son's birthday, he booked a restaurant, planning for the family to get together and relax.
That evening, he left work early to go to the appointment, but unexpectedly encountered a ghost wall.
The car drove around the city center again and again, but couldn't get to the restaurant.
He tried to contact Zhou Qi, but his phone had no signal.
Lu Yan was anxious and fearful. He opened the car window to ask passersby for help, but the road was empty and he didn't see a single person.
He didn't know how he escaped the danger; he only remembered that at one point, he wanted to seek thrills, so he frantically stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel wildly.
With a deafening crash, Lü Yan fainted, and when he regained consciousness, he was already lying in a hospital bed.
He suffered a mild concussion, a long gash on his right cheek, and injuries to both legs, nearly resulting in amputation.
Lu Yan specifically asked someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from that day. In the footage, his car seemed to be possessed, weaving through the endless stream of vehicles.
He stuck his head out of the car window and roared loudly. Passersby and the driver looked at him in horror, wanting to stop him but powerless to do anything about it.
Eventually, his car crashed into a flower bed and spun around several times before coming to a stop.
Lu Yan told Zhou Qi that the other party only touched his forehead and then insisted on taking him to the hospital to check his head.
The police investigation concluded that the car went out of control due to brake failure, but he had it inspected a week ago, so that claim was unfounded.
He couldn't figure it out, but he could only keep it buried in his heart and dared not mention it again.
However, just as Lü Yan was beginning to forget the accident, his son told him about the unbelievable things that had happened to his daughter-in-law. His dead memories suddenly attacked him, and he desperately wanted to find out the truth.
Just in case, he also called his in-laws, explaining that his daughter-in-law was unwell and it wouldn't be right not to inform their parents.
Cheng Ai threw the apple core into the trash can, ate all the melon seeds, and then slowly opened her mouth, "It's probably in the bedroom, but I'm not sure yet."
Seeing Lü Hanmo rushing upstairs in a hurry, she hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother Lü, what are you doing?"
"Rescue Xiaolin!" Lu Hanmo replied matter-of-factly.
"No rush." Cheng Ai smiled gently and placed a round, red apple in his hand. "Don't disturb her rest. I'll take care of everything."
Lu Hanmo gradually calmed down, and the two sat down again.
Lu Xiao put the dishes she had just finished making into the refrigerator, and together with Li Aoshou, they brought out the pastries.
Just as Cheng Ai was about to say a perfunctory "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle and Aunt," Lü Yan spoke first, "Ms. Cheng, I have a private matter I'd like to ask you about, is that convenient?"
She glanced sideways and saw a scar running from her mouth to the corner of her eye.
If we ignore that, Lü Yan is also very good-looking, and he bears a resemblance to Lü Hanmo.
Cheng Ai removed the jade hairpin, her long hair falling down. As she lightly brushed a few strands of hair aside, she slipped the hairpin into his pocket. "Uncle Lü, please speak."
Zhou Qi was disgusted by her actions, but forced himself to endure it because of his daughter-in-law.
Lu Yan dismissed the servants, took out his phone, found the strange video from fifteen years ago, and started playing it.
Zhou Qi craned her neck to peek, then frowned. "Honey, you still have this video? But why are you showing it to Miss Cheng?"
"Wife, don't interrupt," Lü Yan said casually, then went on to explain his ordeal in detail, using gestures and descriptions to make it vivid and lifelike.
Cheng Ai listened quietly and watched until the video and narration ended, then shifted her gaze, saying, "Uncle Lü is lucky."
Lu Yan paused for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Miss Cheng, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Cheng Ai summoned a manifestation talisman, activated it with spiritual power, and quickly circled the phone once. "Take another look."
Lu Yan stared intently, and the next second his eyes widened in shock. Lu Hanmo curiously leaned closer, and the father and son had identical expressions.
The other three also came over, their eyes fixed on their phones, their faces filled with horror.
A light green cloud floated in the passenger seat of the Audi that Lü Yan was driving.
