Chapter 585: Sister Yu, Are You Afraid of Me?
Perhaps Zhou Manning’s words were too sincere, but for a moment, Yu Rong felt a little guilty and doubtful. She couldn’t help but wonder if the person on the other end really wasn’t Manqing.
Was it a misunderstanding?
It was just that with all the discrepancies in the last few years, Yu Rong really didn’t believe that that woman was the real Manqing.
When Yu Rong thought of Zhou Manning’s scream, her heart softened a little. She called Xiao Gao first. Then, the call went through as he asked her what was wrong in his clear and familiar voice.
Yu Rong’s heart turned cold.
Yu Rong was silent for a moment before she said, “Xiao Gao, was your phone off just now?”
Confused, Xiao Gao replied, “Sister Yu, no, how would I dare turn off my phone? If Sister Zhou needs something, she has to be able to contact me!”
Yu Rong’s heart turned colder and she probed, “Did Sister Zhou call you just now?”
“No! What’s wrong, Sister Yu?” Xiao Gao was puzzled and hurriedly said, “Could it be that I didn’t pick up Sister Zhou’s call just now? That’s impossible. I just checked my phone records, but there was no call from Sister Zhou!”
Yu Rong was fl.u.s.tered and didn’t say any more to Xiao Gao, and hung up first.
When Master Chi divined her fortune back then, she said that the Zhou woman harbored ill intentions toward her and might kill her to silence her; Yu Rong had really been scared witless back then.
After that, she gradually calmed down and consoled herself with the knowledge that she hadn’t had any sort of falling out with the other party, so there was no way that woman would kill her for no reason.
Yu Rong felt that she was quite good at pretending, and her excuse for resigning shouldn’t make Zhou Manning suspicious.
It was just that Zhou Manning had been asking to meet up lately. At first, Yu Rong had just been following Master Chi’s instructions, and didn’t think much of it.
But with this phone call today, Zhou Manning had even lied just to get her to go over. What was this Zhou woman trying to do?
Could it be that this woman already knew the truth and wanted to silence her? Yu Rong shuddered and subconsciously wanted to call Master Chi.
But Master Chi dealt with evil ghosts and monsters, not humans. Back then, Master Chi had already told her everything she knew and had given her plenty of advice. In the end, Yu Rong decided not to trouble Master Chi.
Yu Rong suppressed the panic in her heart and told herself not to be afraid or nervous. As long as she didn’t fall for it, that Zhou woman wouldn’t have a chance to harm her.
When this woman surnamed Zhou attacked, she would tear her apart!
Yu Rong was afraid that the Zhou woman would come again, so she directly turned off her phone.
But perhaps because Zhou Manning was too ruthless, Yu Rong somehow felt uneasy, and her right eyelid kept twitching.
In order to distract herself, Yu Rong called her mother and talked to her two children for 20 to 30 minutes before she calmed down. She chatted and laughed with the two kids and said that she would go back to see them in a few days.
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Yu Rong was quite surprised that someone had come looking for her. Yu Rong didn’t think much of it. Still holding the phone, she called out, “Who is it?”
Seeing that there was no reply, Yu Rong walked over to open the door. When she opened the door and saw Zhou Manning, Yu Rong’s face changed drastically, and she subconsciously tried to shut the door.
But Zhou Manning was quick to block her. Taking advantage of the moment, she slipped inside and said with a half-smile, “Sister Yu, are you afraid of me? I’m not a malicious ghost, right? Or is it because you feel guilty?”
