Chapter 974 Looking for Qi Zhenbai to Help
"Then what should we do?" Wei Xiao"s face changed drastically as he suddenly thought of something. "Yan Yan, Shen Rongyin is no longer human, right? Can we use your talismans to expose her real ident.i.ty?"
He just wanted to stop her now. The sooner she was stopped, the better.
Chi Shuyan shook her head. "Although she will be swallowed up by the ghost thing in the bracelet sooner or later, she can still be considered human for now. Talismans won"t be of much use on her."
She felt that the other party"s weakness was the bracelet, but Shen Rongyin was also aware of this. She valued that bracelet more than her life.
After she said that, Chi Shuyan realized that her father hadn"t said anything from beginning to end. He just listened to them expressionlessly. For a moment, she really felt a little guilty.
At that moment, Chi Lingyan finally said, "What on earth is going on with that woman, Shen Rongyin?"
Wei Xiao looked regretful. Only then did he realize that there were a lot of things he hadn"t told Old Chi. He glanced at Yan Yan, who looked a bit guilty, and took the initiative to shoo Chi Shuyan away as he indicated that he had something to say to her father.
Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that Uncle Wei was here. It just so happened that she wanted to look for Qi Zhenbai. It was best to expose the matter of the bones in the flowerbed of the Shen residence as soon as possible. Even if that woman, Shen Rongyin, didn"t admit that she was the one who had done it, it could simply serve as a warning; at least, she wouldn"t dare make any rash moves for the time being.
"Dad, Uncle Wei, you guys talk! I have something to discuss with Zhenbai first!" Chi Shuyan said quickly.
Chi Lingyan stared with a complicated gaze at his daughter as she left in a hurry, and said in a somewhat jealous tone, "Old Wei, you"ve been getting closer to Yan Yan than me, her father! Those who don"t know might think you"re father and daughter!"
Wei Xiao didn"t hear the jealousy in his friend"s tone, and instead was delighted by his friend"s words. He now wished more and more that he had such a beautiful, sensible, and capable daughter. He chuckled. "How can my relations.h.i.+p with Yanyan not be good? Anyone can see it!"
Chi Lingyan: …
Without waiting for Chi Lingyan to speak, Wei Xiao said, "How about I take Yan Yan as my G.o.ddaughter?"
A son-in-law had just come to s.n.a.t.c.h his daughter away, and now here was a G.o.dfather? What was going on?
Chi Lingyan refused without thinking. "Get lost! That"s my daughter!"
Only then did Wei Xiao hear the jealousy in Old Chi"s voice, and he couldn"t help but laugh out loud. "Old Chi, are you jealous? You"re actually jealous? This is the first time I"ve seen it!"
After saying that, Wei Xiao took a closer look at his friend"s face, which alternated between green and white, and was even more amused.
Chi Lingyan, on the other hand, had no expression at all. Thinking of Mother Wei, he asked after her with a solemn face. After Old Wei confirmed that Sister-in-law was really fine, Chi Lingyan heaved a sigh of relief.
Father Wei told Chi Lingyan about Yan Yan giving his wife the Safety Talisman which saved her life. Father Wei lamented, "Old Chi, if it wasn"t for Yan Yan, I really don"t know what would have happened. I don"t know how to thank you and Yan Yan now!"
Father Wei thought of how his wife had liked Yan Yan at first sight. It was a pity that Yan Yan had a partner, and he was from the Qi family. Father Wei could only give up on his last thought.
When he heard Father Wei say that Yan Yan had given Mother Wei a talisman which protected her when she fell from the third floor, Chi Lingyan was still somewhat stupefied; he wondered if Old Wei was exaggerating.
He was half-dazed for a moment before he quickly came back to his senses. He waved his hand and said, "We"re all family, so why are you thanking me? I know how good Sister-in-law is to Yan Yan. By the way, what on earth is going on?"
