Chapter 332 - Nei Huang (2) (1/2)

”Father, why are you calling us? Is there something important that you want to talk about?” Yao Ling asked with a smile. Having more time to talk with her father, she naturally became quite happy.

Rong Qiu motioned for them to sit down and asked Yao Ling seriously without beating around the bush, ”Now... tell Father. What is wrong with you?” Rong Qiu felt if he didn't directly ask, Yao Ling would just keep being worried without telling him the reasons.

Yao Ling's expression changed and asked in distress, ”What do you mean, Father? I'm fine!” She didn't know how to answer the question honestly and didn't even dare to look at her father's face.

Rong Qiu sighed. ”You can try to lie to me because I just met you recently and probably, you think that you can get away with it. However, can you lie to Yao Ying too? He must have noticed your weird behavior from the start!”

Yao Ling was taken aback and she looked at Yao Ying while biting her lower lips. Yao Ying nodded his head, telling her that what Rong Qiu had said was correct... He felt that something was wrong with Yao Ling right after their departure from Crescent Lake.

Yao Ling sighed and finally decided that she should have admitted from the start --- there was no use to lie anymore. Ever since her grandmother was gone, she had a dream each night about her... and it wasn't a good one.

”Grandmother is already dead, isn't she?” Yao Ling asked carefully. She had a guess, but didn't dare to say it out loud at first. However, she couldn't help herself --- she needed to know the truth.

”How do you know?” Both men asked in surprise at the same time.

Yao Ling didn't want to tell them the content of her dream, because it was actually a nightmare --- not a mere dream. It made her become haggard and afraid. It was like her grandmother was pointing at her and blaming her for her death.

Rong Qiu sighed. ”Your grandmother wouldn't blame you...”

Even if Yao Ling tried to convince herself that her grandmother didn't blame her, but she couldn't. The nightmare felt too real for her and it didn't stop at that!

”Father... it started after we make our plan...” Yao Ling admitted. ”The nightmare...”

”What do you mean?” Rong Qiu asked in surprise.

”After you mentioned the jade pendant...” Yao Ling bit her lower lip in apprehension.

”Tell me in details!” Rong Qiu's heart skipped a bit. He started to feel that he had made the wrong decision by using that jade pendant to frame Bai Bing Wen.

”At first, the dream wasn't really clear. However, one or two days after that, what grandmother said has become clearer... Don't let other people have that jade pendant!” Yao Ling honestly told them her dreams. That was the reason that she couldn't warn then beforehand... she couldn't hear what her grandmother had said inside the dream!

”What else? Did grandmother mention why?” Yao Ying asked. He had abandoned the idea that the dream that Yao Ling had dreamt about must have been only a simple dream, after knowing that Yao Ling had a special power. Thus, he preferred to believe in the content of her dream.

”No... ” Yao Ling answered. ”At first, I really thought that it was only a simple nightmare until it was getting worse.” She didn't know how to open up this weird thing, but when she saw her father's reaction, she started to feel that she had made a great mistake.

”Ying... Father... what should we do?” Yao Ling asked in fear.

Both men sighed. This matter couldn't be blamed to Yao Ling --- if someone wanted to blame... it would be Rong Jiu's fault, the latter thought to himself.

”We can do nothing for now... after all, we don't know the secret of that jade pendant,” Yao Ying answered with a frown. ”The most important thing is to find out about this man's identity. However, I don't think it will be possible to take the jade pendant back...”
