Chapter 791: Meeting Again the Strange Woman Who Reeks of Blood
Chi Shuyan received a call from the man and was puzzled when she heard him ask where she was. Before she could speak, the man said in a deep voice, “Stay away from that Yu rascal from now on!”
Chi Shuyan: …
What did she do?
Although Qi Zhenbai wasn’t very familiar with Haozi’s friends, he knew that his wife had a good relations.h.i.+p with the boys, so he naturally knew about Yu Jinzhou and his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Chengfu.
When he saw the photos earlier, he had been jealous of his wife taking the initiative to get close to Yu Jinzhou. The more he looked at that Yu rascal, the more irksome he seemed. That didn’t mean, however, that he would fall into someone else’s trap.
Besides, how could he not know what his wife was like after all this time?
The other party was clearly targeting his wife. Thinking this, a cold light flashed in Qi Zhenbai’s eyes. He would rather that he was the target than his wife. Since this had happened, however, he could only make an example out of the other party and have them pay the price.
Chi Shuyan was busy with Yu Jinzhou’s matter and didn’t know what this man was getting at.
She couldn’t help but roll her eyes. The man’s cold and sharp tone faded, and he suddenly changed the subject. “Wife, when will you come to see me?”
Chi Shuyan was baffled. Why was this man suddenly asking her to go and see him? Although he was usually clingy, it wasn’t to the point of being dependent. Thinking that she had to go out late tonight, Chi Shuyan felt a little guilty, and changed her words just as she was about to refuse. “Then, I’ll go over and see you now. Are you free?”
Qi Zhenbai really didn’t expect such a big surprise. As soon as he heard his wife’s words, his face turned very gentle and his eyes couldn’t be any more indulgent. “I’m free, come over! I’ll wait for you here!”
“Okay, wait for me!” Since there was nothing to do in the apartment, she might as well go see that man and ask about her father.
After hanging up, Chi Shuyan took a taxi. As for cars, while she didn’t have one, the man had many in the garage. However, Chi Shuyan wasn’t used to driving and felt that parking was a bit troublesome, so she might as well take a taxi.
Since it was almost noon, Chi Shuyan specially got takeout from a restaurant which this man had once taken her to. Who would have thought that she would see that strange woman again in this century-old shop. This time, when the woman walked past her, Chi Shuyan couldn’t smell the slightest bit of blood on her. If it wasn’t for the deep impression the woman had left on Chi Shuyan last time, she really would have thought that she had been mistaken.
When she arrived at the door, she saw the woman surnamed Shen gently place some takeout in front of an old beggar. Chi Shuyan stood still and observed her, only to see her generously give a few gentle instructions, which made the grateful old beggar sigh repeatedly that this girl was a Bodhisattva who had descended to the mortal world.
At that moment, Chi Shuyan finally understood why Yan Youwei said that this Shen woman was kind-hearted and didn’t put on airs. If Chi Shuyan hadn’t smelled the blood on her previously, and if the woman hadn’t been with the same Warlock, Chi Shuyan might have really believed Yan Youwei a little and thought that this woman was indeed incomparably kind and had a good character.
There were two possibilities. Firstly, the smell of blood might have been a coincidence, and this Shen woman was indeed kind-hearted and didn’t have much to do with the Warlock. Secondly, this woman was too good at hiding; the mask she wore was too thick and she was too good at pretending.
Of course, Chi Shuyan was more inclined to believe the latter. The sudden lack of the b.l.o.o.d.y scent on this woman definitely couldn’t have been done without the help of a Warlock. Moreover, when she looked at the woman not far away, her face seemed rosier and smoother than last time.
Chi Shuyan absolutely didn’t believe there wasn’t anything fishy about it.
This woman was too scary, to be so meticulous and not miss the slightest detail! There was absolutely no way her father could marry a woman like this!
