“Sister, take a seat.” Hu Jing patted the black charred object beside her and gestured for Shen Chun to sit down.
Shen Chun couldm’t bear to dirty her expensive coat, but she still sat down.
After resting for a while, the female ghost had already recovered some strength. She pieced her face back together and finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
“Sister, listen to me. 1 really never had the intention to harm anyone. Someone changed did this tp me.” Blood and tears began to flow from her eyes again and landed on the black and greasy floor.
“Mommy, don’t cry.” Hu Jing wiped the female ghost’s tears gently, but unexpectedly, the tears froze on her hands.
The female ghost quickly pushed her away and stuffed her into Shen Chun’s arms.
The female ghost said that she was originally the vice-president of the Changtu Group and her husband was a freelancer. She was in charge of external affairs while her husband was in charge of internal affairs. Their lives had been calm and stable until one day, when her husband suddenly called and said that there was a fire at home.
“Then why didn’t you call the fire department?” Shen Chun felt a little baffled. No matter how ignorant she was, she should know that the first thing to do when there was a fire was to look for the fire department. Why did he mean by calling his wife?
The female ghost laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “I didn’t think too much at that time and immediately rushed back to save the child, but there was no sign of him in the house at all.”
She tried her best to save the child, but she died in the fire.
“I didn’t know until 1 became a ghost that he was the one who started the fire. He and the mistress ended my life.”
Shen Chun saw a faint fire in the female ghost’s eyes, as if it would explode at any moment. From the looks of it, she was filled with resentment and could still turn into a malicious ghost.
Hu Jing sat at the side silently without saying a word.
“What happened to the child after that?” Shen Chun was a little confused. The child should have still been young at that time, so she couldn’t be alone.
At this moment, Hu Jing suddenly said, “I’m staying at Grandma’s house. After Mom came back, 1 went home to stay.”
Her eyes were filled with joy, as if she was already very happy. “Wherever Mom is will be my home.”
However, the child did not know that she was already half-human and half-ghost. If she was not saved in time, she would be the next resentful ghost floating in the mortal world.
The female ghost saw through Shen Chun’s thoughts.
“It’s my fault, but… my heart really aches for the child.”
When the fire happened, the child was only four years old and still needed to be fed. Hu Jing did not have a good appetite. Therefore, when she was at home in the past, every meal took a long time.
At her Grandma’s house, her grandma did not feed her. If she did not eat, that was her problem. She would remove the plates and wash the dishes when it was time.
The reason the female ghost turned into a female ghost was not only because she hated her ex-husband, but also because she missed her child.
Many times, she saw that the child was so hungry that she felt dizzy, but she could not do anything about it. The child could not see her or hear her cries, so she could only accompany her silently, in hopes that one day, the child would feel her and even dream of her.
However, she became even more anxious day by day.
The originally chubby child had become emaciated, and her face was always sallow. She watched as the vitality in the child’s body decreased bit by bit, but she did not know that all of this was because of her.
As she drifted around, she gradually learned from the other ghosts that there were ghost pills.
Then, she began to slaughter and refine pills tirelessly.
Later on, the child was finally able to see her. She could finally give the ghost pill in her body to the child so that the child could live more comfortably.
“Let us be together for a while longer, fortune teller. 1 beg you.” The female ghost knelt in front of Shen Chun. “The ghost pill can’t be suddenly stopped, right?”
Shen Chun frowned. “But she can’t eat it all the time.”
However, she still agreed to the female ghost’s request.
With such huge resentment, she would not be able to reincarnate if she did not end things.
As soon as Shen Chun left the villa, she called the form teacher. “The child is safe. Give me her guardian’s number.”
After she got the number, Shen Chun immediately called to ask about the child’s situation.
The person on the other end of the line said aloofly, “She’s the one who refuses to eat. It’s not our fault that she’s starving..”
