Chapter 33
Demolition
Wasn’t she just a little rich? Wasn’t she just a cripple? She doted on this wild child every day and didn’t even care about her actual granddaughter. When she died, she would be the Madam of the Gu family. Just wait.
Ye Yan turned around and left with a cold expression. Old Madam Gu looked at her back and sighed. She knew what her daughter-in-law was like, but it was Gu Lin who wanted to marry her back then. As his mother, she could not say anything else.
When Ye Yan arrived at the construction site, Yunbao and Gu Zi were resting in the office. After following Gu Luo around the entire morning, the two children’s stamina could no longer keep up.
“Baby Zizi!” Ye Yan’s sudden opening of the door shocked the three people in the room. Gu Luo’s hand trembled as he drew.
“Mommy, why are you here?” Gu Zi ran forward. She was still a child, so she was naturally happy to see her mother.
“Hello, Eldest Aunt.” Yunbao also stood up obediently to greet her. Ye Yan only nodded lightly and scanned the room, but she did not find the person she was looking for.
“Zizi, where’s Daddy?”
“Daddy’s in a meeting!”
“Then let’s go find him!” Ye Yan was too anxious to show off in front of Gu Lin. She pulled Gu Zi with her right hand and turned to leave with the lunch box in her left hand.
“It’s best not to disturb Big Brother when he’s working,” Gu Luo interrupted her.
Gu Luo did not like this sister-in-law. She was shrewd and scheming, and she was also brainless. He was very happy to see his brother and sister-in-law get a divorce. If Ye Yan rashly barged in, it would deepen the conflict between the two of them, but it would not be good for the children if they really quarreled in front of them.
Ye Yan also knew Gu Lin’s habits when he was working. She had forgotten about it in her rush.
“Brother Luo, why didn’t you go to the meeting?” Ye Yan smiled ingratiatingly. After all, if she wanted to stay in the Gu family, she had to maintain a good relationship with the brothers.
“Because Big Brother and the others are discussing the demolition now. It has nothing to do with me.”
Demolition?! Ye Yan’s lunch box fell to the ground.
“Mommy, are you alright?” Gu Zi held Ye Yan’s hand. Ye Yan’s face was unusually pale. What if something was dug out? She did not dare to think about it.
“Mommy is fine.” She smiled at Gu Zi, but her expression was twisted. She sat to the side trembling, but her clenched hands showed the uneasiness in her heart.
“Yunbao, look behind her!” Song Yun’s voice suddenly sounded. Yunbao looked up and saw the female ghost riding on Ye Yan’s head. The surrounding darkness was oppressive and sinister.
“Master, why is Auntie targeted by a female ghost?” Yun Bao saw that it looked a little scary. She was afraid that she would not be able to hide her emotions, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
“Usually, the ghosts we can see must have had strong obsessions when they were alive. They usually only follow two types of people. One is those who they think can talk to them to help them, and the other is those who harmed them. Before meeting these two types of people, they usually won’t move.”
“I see.” Yunbao nodded to show that she had learned something.
“So, even if your aunt isn’t the mastermind, she should have a lot to do with it.”
Yunbao was in disbelief. Although her eldest aunt didn’t like her and was fierce, she couldn’t believe that her eldest aunt would kill someone. The female ghost seemed to have noticed Yunbao’s gaze. She stared straight at Yunbao for a while before slowly floating out.
“Yunbao, hurry up and follow her. That female ghost must be trying to tell you something!” Song Yun urged.
Yunbao raised her short legs and chased after her.
“Yunbao, where are you going?” Gu Zi asked her.
“To the toilet!” Yunbao’s back view was getting further and further away.
Was it really that urgent? Gu Zi thought. Gu Luo was engrossed in designing and did not take it to heart when he heard that Yunbao was going to the toilet. Ye Yan looked at Yunbao who was gradually running away and thought that this child was really uneducated like a little lunatic!
Because it was a construction site that was going to be demolished, many places had been abandoned. The glass windows have already been removed. The office they had been in previously was one of the few well-equipped buildings.
Yunbao followed the female ghost to the rooftop. The afternoon sun was very hot.
“Why did she ask us to come here?” Yunbao asked Song Yun.
“Let’s wait and see,” Song Yun replied. “Don’t worry, Master will protect you.”
With her master protecting her, Yunbao felt more confident. She approached the female ghost step by step and gradually placed her hand on the railing on the rooftop. Perhaps because there was no one to repair the entire construction site and because of the wind and rain, the railing was rusty and creaked.
The moment she placed her hand on it, Yunbao felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that the sky was already dark.
