She has arrived

  In the afternoon, Munni woke up. Although her body was still wrapped in white gauze, fortunately she was conscious and clear-headed. However, when An Tingren asked her questions, she kept crying out in terror about ghosts and such things.

  An Ting was first surprised, then puzzled, while An Jing and An Ming on the side looked quite bad, one pale with terror, the other with a gloomy and suspicious face. As for me, who had faced the female ghost head-on, I wasn't very interested in the ghost that Muni was yelling at, but rather in An Ming's and An Jing's behavior...

  Huoxiao has always been by my side, warning me not to interfere with Anjia's affairs. But after thinking about it, I think he's right. Even if I need to settle down, I've already made a deal with Anting before, and as long as I can confirm that I saved Muni on my own initiative and not under someone else's orders, Anting will stand by me.

  After Munni recounted the events of that day, An Tingren came to talk to me and acknowledged that the An family owed me a favor. I directly brought up the matter of moving Yunli over, and it's true what they say about old ginger being spicier - facing An Tingren, I couldn't guess how he really felt about this matter.

  Until An Tong anxiously blew on the fire beside him, An Ting finally said a sentence: "I will never gamble heavily!"

  "Old Master An?" I fell into thought, and this sentence was not good news for me! In my opinion, the meaning behind his words was very clear: if Yun Lian and I were to bet on only one thing, he would not be willing. Thinking of this made me laugh, and I said: "Old Master An, if I win, half of the Ho family's assets will be given to Master An Ming?"

  An Tingren's eyes sparkled at that moment, and I had nothing more to say. I believed that with this one condition, he would definitely agree. The reason was simple: An Tingren was a businessman!

  "Since Mo Jie has shown her sincerity, I should also show my attitude. Yun Lian, no matter what, although you married into the Huo family, as the wife of Xiao Ran, you are the one who should be the legitimate heir. So, I will stand behind you, remember, only behind you."

  I'm a bit stupid, looking at An Ting Ren, too cunning! Isn't this obviously not wanting to confront Yun Li head-on?

  "Tell him, at the board meeting he must show up, to let Yun Li and those people know that you have a backing!" Huo Xiao Ran's voice suddenly appeared, just like before, I didn't dare look directly at him. With so many people around, if I suddenly turned my head to stare at the empty air beside me, wouldn't they think I had a problem?

  Looking at An Tingren, I said lightly: "An Lao Sheng first, during the board meeting, I hope you can show up. After all, without this big tree of yours, what would I do?"

  An Ting's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, followed by a piercing gaze at me. I couldn't help but smile coldly in my heart, understanding Ho Xiao Ran's intention. This old fox might suddenly think that I'm not as simple as I seem.

  Of course, I didn't know how to react at first, but as soon as Huo Xiao Ran reminded me, I understood. I have participated in a board meeting before, if An Ting Rong is an old fox, then those are at least foxes too! Without a reliable and powerful backing, how could they possibly stand on my side?

  If the situation is overwhelmingly against Yunlin, then everything I want to do will be in vain.

  "I got it!" An Tingren stood up and left after throwing down this sentence. As he was about to leave the door, An Tingren suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at me. I felt that there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but when I raised my confident smile, he shook his head and said: "An Xiang, I will be away from home for a few days. Today, you and An Ming bring Muni back home together, it's more convenient at home, and Mo Jie can also stay at my house for a few days. If you go back now, you might not get a good reception at Yun Lian's place."

  I nodded, after all, how could An Tingren be an old fox otherwise? Yun Li even called today and told me to get on good terms with An Tingren, think of a way to make her appear at the next shareholders' meeting and support her.

  Sometimes, I really don't know what Yun Li is like, asking me to do these things and making her believe in me is absolutely impossible. I took a look at Huo Xiaoqi outside the door, it seems that Yun Li believes not in me but in him! It seems that Yun Li regards Huo Xiaoqi as one of her own people, while I am just a pair of hands controlled by her from afar.

  They didn't stay in the hospital for long, An Ke and An Ming followed An Tingren's instructions to take Muni back home that night. If not, how would they have enough money? When they were discharged from the hospital, the dean came over and arranged for doctors to go to the An family every day to work until Muni recovered, and also told An Tingren not to worry too much!

  Entering the An family is not much different from the Huo family! The yard where the accident happened earlier had been cleaned up long ago, and the servants had prepared some food. That night, An Ting left after dinner, while the only difference between the An family and the Huo family was that the servants never stayed overnight at the An family, they all left after work.

  Night fell, and An Ming had been a little absent-minded since Mu Ni woke up with a fright after seeing the ghost. On the other hand, An Tian was unusually cheerful, seemingly already savoring the joy of victory. Huo Xiao Jue had always been very considerate in taking care of me, even helping to conceal my pregnancy.

  I'm really grateful for this!

  In the middle of the night, Huo Xiao Ran was still in my room, lazily sitting in mid-air, explaining to me the business philosophy of the Huo family and some simple propaganda techniques. This was part of the agreement he had made with me, in order to take control of the Huo family from Yun Li's hands, he was giving me a crash course. Until I suddenly felt that the floor beneath me seemed to be shaking, I abruptly sat up straight.

  "What is this?" I asked aloud.

  His eyes, which had been gazing emptily into space, suddenly turned towards the window. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes and said: "She's here!"

  "Who?" I frowned, unsure who she was until Huo Xiao Ran waved his hand and the door suddenly locked. It dawned on me that it might be An Wei! That female ghost!

  The air in the room began to slowly diffuse with a chill, Huo Xiao Ran merely moved his fingers and the quilt wrapped me up tightly. He looked at me straightly, shook his head, I understood, he was reminding me again not to interfere.

  I stroked my belly, now I can no longer do some things recklessly, because there's still him inside! Nodding slightly, for the first time in my life, I forcibly covered up that kind heart of mine. In my heart, I kept repeating: yesterday's debt, today's repayment!

  An Wei can't get peace of mind, it must be because An Ming did something, that is the debt owed by An Ming!

  Anming's room was just upstairs from mine. The pendant lamp in the room began to shake violently, and some dust fell down.

  "No! No! You're not... you're not!" An Ming's voice was abnormally shrill, his footsteps were chaotic, sounding as if he was running around the room trying to escape something.

  I've been staring at the top, but my heart is beating even faster now, because An Ming's sharp voice sounds more urgent than before. Huo Xiao Ran floats in mid-air with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

  "An Wei! I was wrong, please forgive me, let me go, I don't want to die, I...". An Ming's words were cut off by a loud "crack" in the night, a sound that sent shivers down my spine, like the snapping of bones. An Ming let out a blood-curdling scream, and I covered my ears in terror.

  Anming called for a long time, until his voice sounded very weak. But the eerie laughter in his room made my hair stand on end, and I started to shiver. The sound was something I had never heard before in my life. It's not even possible for humans to make that kind of noise! It sounded like a cat, yet also like a crow!

  "Give me back my life!" A woman's voice floated vaguely in the air, very unreal, but I knew it was An Wei.

  "It's not me! Really, it's not because of me, it's An Chong, it's An Chong!" An Ming was frantically shouting, and my rooftop started to transmit the ear-piercing scratching sound of fingernails on the ground.

  A burst of woman's laughter interrupted Anming's loud shout, a very crazy one. Then, the top suddenly transmitted a rapid "bang" sound, like something was being lifted and slammed around randomly. As the sound rang out, my eyes moved around everywhere. Every time the impact sound came, I could even feel the wall or floor trembling violently.

  The sound of bones shattering accompanied An Ming's miserable cries and pleas for help, I hastily closed my eyes because I really wanted to beg An Wei to spare him, but I knew it was futile. Last time, when she wanted to kill Mu Ni, I had already touched her bottom line, this time, I was powerless!

  Not long after, the top of the room calmed down, and I curiously stared at the roof.

  "This is the sixth time, I've made you lose someone you deeply loved, and yet, don't you have any regret? Does your heart ache? Like how I suffered back then, unable to be with the one I loved, it was agonizing. And what about you? Ah... Heh..."

  A chilling laughter like a ghostly whisper, Bang! Another crashing sound, accompanied by the cracking of bones.

  "No, not you... it's me!" An Ming's voice was now very weak, and he even took a long time to finish the simple words. After that, I heard what sounded like pounding on the ground... and An Ming's cries for help: "An Xiang, save me..."

  Bang! I heard the sound coming from the door next door, followed by a flurry of footsteps. I was shocked - it was An Chong's room! Was she going to save An Ming? Originally, I wanted to follow and take a look, but unexpectedly, just as I thought about getting out of bed, I was stopped by Huo Xiao Ran. The struggle between humans and ghosts, if you want to win, unless you are a ghost-fighting master!

  "An Wei! Is that you? Your death has nothing to do with us!"

  "Hahaha" The eerie laughter came again, I swallowed the saliva in my mouth, and really admired An Xiang's courage.
