Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1569 Brother Feng’s Nosiness

Chi Shuyan returned to the villa with a bellyful of anger. She simply doubted life when she thought of what happened tonight; in particular, she was shocked and furious at the man’s abnormal behavior. For a moment, she thought that his core had been switched out. Otherwise, why would he suddenly explode with emotion and smash her phone?

Could it be that something serious had happened to the Qi family or that the old man’s condition was very serious? Otherwise, why did Qi Zhenbai lose control of his emotions so easily?

Ignoring her anger, Chi Shuyan immediately wanted to call Brother Feng and ask him about the Qi family. Unfortunately, her phone had already been smashed, so Chi Shuyan could only go downstairs and borrow Chef Li’s phone.

Ever since Chef Li opened Imperial Restaurant, he also had a phone, and there was no issue with Chi Shuyan borrowing it.

Using Chef Li’s phone, Chi Shuyan immediately called Brother Feng and got straight to the point. She asked Brother Feng if anything had happened to the Qi family recently, and if there had been something wrong with Qi Zhenbai’s mood recently.

When Feng Yuanlin received Shuyan’s call, he had just returned home and put on his house slippers at the entrance. When he suddenly heard Shuyan ask about the Qi family and Zhenbai, he immediately perked up. He thought that Shuyan had never forgotten Zhenbai and was suddenly enlightened and concerned about him. He couldn’t help but tease, “Why are you finally concerned about Zhenbai? Do you want to get back together? Shuyan, don’t say one thing and mean another. If you still like Zhenbai and can’t forget him, just admit it! It’s most likely the same with Zhenbai. If the two of you continue to be awkward, I, as a bystander, won’t be able to take it anymore. You won’t die if you admit that you still like each other and want to get back together, right?”

Chi Shuyan was rendered speechless by Brother Feng’s words.

As Feng Yuanlin spoke, he suddenly remembered that Shuyan was a woman. Even if the two of them really wanted to get back together, it should be the man who took the initiative. He then thought of Zhenbai, who had been holding back his feelings. Feng Yuanlin had updated his WeChat Moments several times, and he hinted ambiguously that Shuyan had a new boyfriend and was very happy.

He originally thought that Zhenbai would immediately call him to ask about the situation. Who would have thought that Zhenbai would call him once and hang up without asking him anything?

He really had to hand it to Zhenbai. He immediately corrected himself. “Wait, cough, cough… Shuyan, if you really want to be with Zhenbai, you have to wait for him to make a move. You’re a young lady, so you still have to be reserved and let him take the initiative. If a man doesn’t even have the guts to take the initiative to woo the woman he likes, what use is such a man?”

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Feng Yuanlin changed the subject and continued, “Cough, cough, Shuyan, I’m not referring to Zhenbai. Don’t misunderstand. I am completely on your side. No need to tell anyone what I told you tonight!”

Especially not Zhenbai. This guy had always been vengeful since he was young.

Feng Yuanlin only dared to prattle away when Zhenbai wasn’t around; he definitely wouldn’t have the guts to talk nonsense where the other party could hear him. He didn’t dare imagine the consequences if Zhenbai found out that he had persuaded Shuyan not to make the first move.

Chi Shuyan: …

“Although Zhenbai is my childhood friend, I still support you!” Feng Yuanlin said again.

Why did Chi Shuyan feel that Brother Feng was getting further and further away from the topic? After calming down, she suddenly remembered what Qi Zhenbai had said when he lost control and questioned her tonight. No matter how she thought about it, something wasn’t right!

But she couldn’t figure out what the problem was.

If she had a new boyfriend and he suddenly questioned her, she could still suspect that he was jealous, but she was single. What did he mean with his questions?

What did he mean by “Who are you rushing back to see?”

What did he mean by “is he that important to you?” and “Is sitting with me for a while now a waste of your time?”

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment, then told Brother Feng about her meeting with Qi Zhenbai tonight. She continued, “I think his mood seems a bit off tonight. Brother Feng, did something happen to the Qi family recently? How is Grandpa? Is his condition serious?”

After thinking about it, she was inclined to believe that the other party had suddenly lost control of his emotions because the old man had been hospitalized for poor health.

Feng Yuanlin was originally a little sleepy while on the phone with Shuyan, but when he heard that she had met Zhenbai tonight, and the other party had seemed to be in a bad mood and had even flared up at Shuyan, his sleepiness was immediately swept away. He perked up and asked inquisitively, “Wait, Shuyan, are you saying that you met Zhenbai tonight? When did you meet him? What a coincidence. Did that kid take the initiative to look for you? He even lost his temper?”

If Brother Feng was in front of her now, Chi Shuyan would be able to see his suddenly bright, gossipy and animated expression. However, the two of them were on the phone at that moment. Hearing Brother Feng suddenly ask a string of excited questions, Chi Shuyan didn’t know which one to reply to first. However, she didn’t think much of it and just thought that he was worried about Qi Zhenbai.

She simply told him that Grandpa Qi had been hospitalized. She had been anxious and a little fired up when she heard that, and so had taken Qi Zhenbai’s car to go to the hospital with him.

When they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already resting. It was late, and she couldn’t disturb him, so she planned to go back to the villa first and then go see him in the morning tomorrow.

Feng Yuanlin sat on the couch in his house slippers and listened excitedly. He was amused, especially when he thought about how he had been posting on his Moments for a while, and the other party had only called once before hanging up without asking anything. He had wondered before if Zhenbai had a high tolerance or if he really didn’t care.

Who would have thought that this childhood friend would do a turnabout so quickly? He pretended to be calm and didn’t do anything at all, but then ran over to Shuyan’s house in the middle of the night to wait for her, and even baited Shuyan into taking his car to see the old man.

Grandpa Qi was hospitalized, and Zhenbai, that rascal, knew that Grandpa Qi was resting at that time. He knew that Grandpa Qi was already asleep, but still pretended to be innocent and took Shuyan there for nothing. He didn’t believe at all that Zhenbai didn’t know what he was doing.

Feng Yuanlin listened with particular interest and continued, “Shuyan, continue. Be more specific!”
