Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1152 - 1148: Going Home
"Damn it~"
Taozi gritted her teeth, her face full of anger, and slammed the table hard.
"Ah~fu~fu..."
She used too much force and quickly blew on it near her mouth.
Seeing this, Han Qiaoqi couldn’t help but find it funny, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Help me rub it." Taozi extended her hand to Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan reached out and gently pinched her hand.
Han Qiaoqi stopped smiling.
"We can’t just let that scumbag get away with it, I’m going to see your parents and tell them all the bad things he did."
After learning about Han Qiaoqi’s experiences and the cause of her death, Taozi was indignant and felt they couldn’t let that opportunist get away with it.
Watching Taozi’s indignant appearance for her injustice, Han Qiaoqi felt a bit touched.
However, she shook her head and looked at Shen Siyuan.
Since she could be visible in front of people, she didn’t need Taozi’s help at all, and she could go see her parents herself to show them Zhou Zifu’s true colors.
Noticing Han Qiaoqi’s gaze, Taozi finally realized, and excitedly said, "Right, let Siyuan help you, that scumbag will surely be punished."
"Siyuan, you’ll definitely help, won’t you?" Taozi clung to Shen Siyuan’s arm and cooed.
"Alright, let her handle this on her own." Shen Siyuan reached out to block her waist.
Then he looked at Han Qiaoqi and said, "Do as you planned, don’t worry about anything."
"Okay, thank you." Han Qiaoqi immediately stood up and bowed to Shen Siyuan in gratitude.
Shen Siyuan waved his hand.
"Taozi, goodbye." Han Qiaoqi straightened up and said to Taozi.
"Oh, huh? Goodbye." Taozi said somewhat flustered and a bit reluctant.
Without any hesitation, Han Qiaoqi’s form vanished, disappearing into a Yin Wind on the balcony.
Taozi stared at the spot where Han Qiaoqi disappeared for quite a while before asking, "Is Qiaoqi gone?"
"Yeah, she’s gone." Shen Siyuan nodded.
"Sigh~"
Taozi couldn’t help but heave a long sigh, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.
"What’s wrong, sighing for no reason?"
"I never thought that someone my age would actually pass away."
"It was just an accident, don’t overthink it," Shen Siyuan comforted.
"Qiaoqi is a really good person, she really is... really..." Taozi didn’t know what to say.
"Life is unpredictable, no one knows what will happen next, don’t overthink it," Shen Siyuan said.
"That’s true, and luckily she met you, otherwise she wouldn’t just be dead but also very aggrieved, that scumbag is really too bad, too insidious..."
Before Shen Siyuan could speak, a voice beside him said, "If it weren’t for me, you might meet the same kind of man in the future."
It was Ruan Hongzhuang speaking, standing at the balcony door with a cup of coffee.
She had heard about Han Qiaoqi’s matter, so she couldn’t help but speak up.
"You’re talking nonsense, that won’t happen," Taozi said defiantly.
"Why not? Your situation is actually similar to hers, and you’re even more simple-minded than she is. Getting deceived by men isn’t all that strange, is it?" Ruan Hongzhuang said casually.
"You’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense, you’re slandering..."
Taozi was furious upon hearing this, but in her heart, she felt a bit fortunate because what Ruan Hongzhuang said wasn’t wrong.
Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t argue with her, just let out a casual hum.
"Hmm~"
But this was almost worse than arguing with her and made Taozi feel defeated.
Taozi glared, puffed out her cheeks, almost about to explode in anger, but as her anger rose, it suddenly disappeared.
She leaned over and kissed Shen Siyuan on the cheek, "But I’m lucky."
Ruan Hongzhuang’s expression froze.
"He’s my husband," Ruan Hongzhuang said.
"He was supposed to be mine," Taozi said defiantly.
"It was me who went on the blind date with him, you seized the opportunity to snatch him, but what’s the use of that? He’s mine in the end."
Taozi said, snuggling up to Shen Siyuan even closer.
She was so reasonable that Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t refute it for a while.
Seeing Shen Siyuan watching the commotion with a smile, she frowned and said angrily, "All you do is smile, can’t you say something?"
"Uh..."
-----------------
When Han Qiaoqi returned home, only her mother was there; her father was not at home.
Although their family was relatively well-off, they hadn’t hired any maids or housekeepers, after all. Their family had fought their way up from the bottom, so even though they had money, it only improved their living standards a bit, without much else changing.
The household chores were basically all done by her mother, while her father was busy with business outside.
Watching her mother bustling about the house, Han Qiaoqi felt an impulse to become visible and meet her immediately.
But she worried that her sudden appearance might scare her, so she decided to wait for her father to come home before showing herself.
So she followed behind her mother, watching her cook, clean, and bustle about.
She rarely ever settled down to watch her mother at work, always impatient, thinking it was a waste of time. Now, looking back, she realized that such a mundane life was indeed good, and following her mother around brought her an unprecedented sense of peace.
But soon, this good mood was ruined because her father came home.
Of course, it wasn’t her father that ruined her good mood, but the man following behind him, who was none other than her boyfriend Zhou Zifu.
"Uncle, the exchange went well this time; it should be fine."
Zhou Zifu walked behind Han Changfa, his face beaming with a bright smile, which seemed so glaring.
"Thanks to you, otherwise it might not have worked out," Han Changfa said with a smile.
"No, what I did was insignificant, the main thing is that our family’s product quality is good," Zhou Zifu said.
Hearing this, Han Changfa let out a hearty laugh.
But Han Qiaoqi was even more furious. He was already referring to it as "our family," which showed the level of trust placed in Zhou Zifu.
"You’re back? Zifu, stay for dinner tonight?" Han Qiaoqi’s mother, Yang Qingfang, heard the voices and came out to greet them.
"No, Auntie, I’ll head back first; I have some work tonight," Zhou Zifu quickly declined.
"Even if you have work, you still need to eat, so it’s settled; I’ve already made your portion," Yang Qingfang said.
"Then I’ll intrude," Zhou Zifu didn’t insist further.
"We’re all family, no need to talk about intruding or not. You’re such a polite child," Yang Qingfang said.
"You all sit for a while, dinner will be ready soon," she said, turning into the kitchen.
Han Changfa asked Zhou Zifu to sit and wait for a while, but Zhou Zifu didn’t sit; instead, he picked up Han Changfa’s cup and started making tea for him.
Han Changfa didn’t stop him, just watched with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Han Qiaoqi was almost exploding with rage, but she held it in. Now was not the time to show herself.
It wasn’t enough just to become visible and call Zhou Zifu deceitful and insidious, making her parents cut ties with him. She wanted Zhou Zifu to pay a price.
Out of sight, out of mind, she thought, and left the house, heading for her family’s orchard.
There, she found Chen Youming still in the orchard.
Compared to the Chen Youming in her memory, he looked extremely sloppy now, with dirty clothes and a beard that hadn’t been shaved for days, looking very haggard.
At that moment, he was standing in front of a fruit tree, recording something in a notebook.
