Chapter 53: So freaky!

I felt like I had entered a maze. Whose words were real? Whose words were fake? Strangely, I never saw Xu Weishan’s ghost again…

She was like the wind that had disappeared from my life.

“Why?” After hearing Hong Xiaobei’s story, I went to visit Grandmother Meng. I had my arms on my waist as I demanded answers from her.

“What?” She appeared to be surprised by my sudden visit and didn’t move from her seat for a long time.

“Why is it that the story I heard from the ghost is different from the story I heard from a person? Didn’t you say I could experience her thoughts if I allowed Xu Weishan to enter my body? Could it be that what I saw wasn’t the truth?”

Grandmother Meng lowered her head as she thought about it. “When you allow a ghost to enter your body, you’re only temporarily allowing her to occupy your mind. That way, you can see her thoughts. However, if she has the intentions to lie to you, then what you see would naturally be based off her imagination.”

“She could do that?” I opened my mouth wide. I felt like all the strength had been sucked out of me as I weakly sat down on the chair, “So…..so I was lied to?”

“Were you lied to by the ghost that you came with last time?” Grandmother Meng leaned her body forward as she leaned forward.

I nodded, “It appears that I was.”

Being deceived by Xu Weishan was like getting hit at the back of my head by a stranger. The more I thought about it, the more speechless I became. “She came to me like a victim, begging me to help her capture her killer. But it turns out she was the one who caused her own death. What the hell?! How could a person be like this…?! Ah! No, how could there be a ghost like this?!”

“Not all the ghosts in this world are good. There are also bad ones. Since there are bad people too, naturally there will be bad ghosts as well.” Grandmother Meng tried to comfort me.

“Why are you telling me this now?” I resentfully responded. “If I had known the information I was shown could’ve been fake, I could’ve prepared myself!”

“I told you beforehand! You probably forgot on your own!”

“Huh?” I shook my head and instantly lost confidence, “R-really?”

“Perhaps, I have forgotten to say?” Grandmother Meng seemed confused herself.

While she was scrambling through her thoughts, I raised my voice, “Of course you didn’t tell me! If not, how could I have been deceived?!”

Although that was what I said, deep down, my memories were vaguely beginning to surface. I think Grandmother Meng had warned me once. At the time, I was probably not paying attention.

Grandmother Meng suddenly changed the topic in another direction. “By the way, how is my treasured grandson doing lately?”

“How’s he doing? The same as usual….he eats well, sleeps well, still has a poisonous tongue and a heart of stone.” I casually replied.

“Are there any women he’s getting closer with? Do you know whether he likes anyone right now? Or maybe….”

Deep down, I thought to myself. Suyang is a fickle person. When he's happy, he would appear to love or pamper you. But when he's grumpy, he would ignore you…. Whoever that he likes will suffer a lot of bad luck!

“The woman that he’s closest with is me! Granny, am I an insider that you have placed around Suyang? No! On a work relationship level, Suyang pays me a salary. I refuse to leak out any of my boss’s secrets. This is the basic principle of an assistant!”

“Do we have a work relationship? We’re talking as sisters! ….it’s a common topic. Come on. Let’s talk about our grandson.”

I felt a stab in my chest and nearly spat out blood. I had totally forgotten that we were sworn sisters!

“Granny, can you not joke around? Granny, how old are you? How could we be sworn sisters?”

“Being sworn sisters has nothing to do with age. Plus, I’m trying to prevent you from having inappropriate thoughts about my Suyang!” Grandmother Meng grinned. Suddenly, her smile froze on her face.

“What? What? Why did your expression change so suddenly?”

All of Grandmother Meng’s wrinkles were scrunched together. She was motionless. It was making me feel very apprehensive.

“Don’t move! Let me see you.” Grandmother Meng firmly stated as she began to flip my eyelids and browsed up and down.

“What’s going on?”
