Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Chapter 189 There is no trace of Zhan Luya in this world.

Xiling family

When Xi Ling Yi Yao returned home from shopping, she saw Xi Ling Chang Xian sitting on the sofa with a deathly pale expression.

"Hey, this afternoon, when I was shopping, I ran into Zhan Jinxi on Renmin Road," Xi Lingyi said, sitting down and picking up some blueberries from the coffee table.

"Is she alone, or with someone else?"

Xi Lingchang finally showed an expression and asked excitedly.

“At first there was one person, but then another guy came out, probably in his early twenties, very handsome, the kind of roguish charm,” Xi Ling Yi Yao said.

"Did they do anything intimate?"

"No, it's just that the boy was very fierce and didn't seem like a good person. He looked like he was involved in organized crime," Xi Lingyi said, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

Just then, Su Yu'er came downstairs and overheard their conversation.

At first, she was quite worried that Zhan Jinxi might have a boy he liked, but when she heard that he was involved in organized crime, she immediately stopped worrying. The Zhan family would never accept a hoodlum as their son-in-law.

“Changxian, you can rest assured. That hoodlum is no match for you. Even if the Zhan family has no shame, they would never let Zhan Jinxi marry a hoodlum.” Su Yu’er said as she sat down next to Xiling Yiyao.

Xi Lingyi echoed, "That's right, he's just a small-time hoodlum. Being good-looking is not as important as having a powerful background. I think you are the one who is most suitable for Zhan Jinxi."

Xi Ling Changxian lowered his head, saying this, but he still felt insecure.

He knew very well what place he held in Zhan Jinxi's heart.

They were just friends; from beginning to end, they only interacted as friends. Xiling Changxian was merely indulging in wishful thinking.

Su Yu'er suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, I have something to tell you. Zhan Xiangyu has fully recovered and has been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Zhan family manor..."

"What?!" Xi Ling Yi Yao was so shocked that she dropped the blueberries in her hand and exclaimed.

That disdainful and contemptuous look was instantly replaced by terror.

"What's wrong?" Su Yu'er asked, looking at her terrified daughter with confusion.

Looking at Xiling Yiyao's reaction, Xiling Changxian wondered if Zhan Xiangyu's impending trouble was related to her.

"Zhan Xiangyu, Zhan Guiting's sixth younger brother." Xi Lingyi's lips trembled as the memory of poisoning him with Zhan Luya three years ago came vividly to her mind.

She thought Zhan Xiangyu would never wake up in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, he did, and so quickly.

Zhan Xiangyu has woken up, and the fact that she and Zhan Luya conspired to poison him will soon be exposed. Now that Zhan Luya is not around, she will have to take the blame for everything.

She couldn't bear the Zhan family's wrath; even if she had nine lives, she couldn't withstand it.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiling Changxian asked, looking at Xiling Yiyao.

"It's nothing... Maybe it's just that the weather has gotten cooler lately, and I'm a little... not used to the current temperature."

Xi Ling Yi Yao's face was ashen, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and she was terrified.

Su Yu'er ignored Xi Ling Yiyao and said to Xi Ling Changxian, "Once Zhan Xiangyu has recovered and returned, Mom plans to take you and your sister to the Zhan family manor tomorrow to visit Zhan Xiangyu and also to bring up your marriage with Jinxi."

Xi Ling Changxian lowered his head and lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression, but he exuded an extremely low pressure, clearly indicating that he was in a terrible mood.

"Changxian, how was your trip with Jinxi last time? Did you have fun?" Su Yu'er asked again.

"Did not go."

Su Yu'er became anxious, "You didn't go? Why? Didn't you make plans?"

Xi Ling Changxian's face was dark, his head was lowered, and he remained silent.

He was puzzled. What exactly did Zhan Guiting say to Zhan Jinxi that day that made Zhan Jinxi change her mind so quickly?

He believed that he and Zhan Jinxi got along quite well, although they interacted as friends. But surely it wouldn't be necessary for him to break his promise so quickly.

"Alright, we're going to visit the Zhan family tomorrow. You should all go to bed early tonight, pick out your clothes carefully, and dress appropriately." Su Yu'er said and went upstairs.

Zhan Family Manor

After dinner, the entire Zhan family sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted.

Qin Yimo asked about why Zhan Xiangyu was shot and poisoned.

Zhan Xiangyu told everyone the whole story.

While on a mission, he was accidentally shot. He found a secluded spot to bandage his wound and unexpectedly ran into Zhan Luya and Xiling Yiyao. Zhan Luya expressed how much she hated Wen Zijin because her arrival had stolen all her limelight and love. Xiling Yiyao, seeing the wind blowing, sowed discord between them. In the end, the two discussed how to kick Wen Zijin out of the Zhan family and have Xiling Yiyao take her place.

Zhan Xiangyu never expected that Zhan Luya would join forces with outsiders to ruin his own brother's happy marriage. He was furious and immediately lost his temper and accused her.

Zhan Luya and Xiling Yiyao were both terrified, thinking it was all over.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Xiangyu was so angry that he was shot and passed out. When he woke up, he found himself in an abandoned factory, where Zhan Luya and Xiling Yiyao were injecting him with poison.

The poison entered his body, causing him unbearable pain. He eventually lost consciousness and did not wake up until three years later.

After the story was told, everyone's face was filled with indignation.

Especially Qin Yimo. Just thinking about how she loved Zhan Luya like her own daughter, all she did was to help Xiling Yiyao enter the Zhan family by sowing discord between Zhan Guiting and Wen Zijin, causing them to misunderstand each other and eventually divorce. Even after Zhan Xiangyu learned about this, in order to prevent exposure, she joined forces with Xiling Yiyao to turn against her brother who had doted on her for more than ten years without hesitation. How could she be so heartless? Zhan Xiangyu doted on her so much, how could she do that?

"Grandma, hug me, it's all the bad people's fault." Yoyo noticed Qin Yimo's mood, and with her milk bottle in her mouth, she quickly ran over, hugged Qin Yimo, comforted her, and then put a lollipop in her mouth.

"Thank you, darling." Qin Yimo almost burst into tears after being comforted like that.

"Zhan Xiangyu, how do you plan to handle this matter?" Zhan Guiting asked Zhan Xiangyu.

Everyone has already told Zhan Xiangyu about Zhan Luya being the fake heiress of the Zhan family, including how Zhan Luya hurt the real heiress Zhan Jinxi. They will support him in how he wants to handle the matter, as long as it is reasonable.

"Zhan Luya, I will personally escort her in."

Zhan Xiangyu looked at everyone, and no one had any objections.

"But Zhan Luya no longer has any trace of existence in this world," the little guy said in his childish voice.

"What? No breath? What does that mean, baby?" Qin Yimo asked anxiously.

"Does it mean she no longer exists?" Zhan Guiting asked.

"That's right. Although she's already passed away, her soul is still there. I can still feel the yin energy of her soul."

"What does this mean? Oh my." Zhan Xiangyu looked puzzled. This little niece seemed to be even more capable than he had imagined.

"Simply put, Zhan Luya is dead, but her soul still lingers in the mortal realm," Zhan Juzhou explained.

“How could there be no news at all if he’s dead?” Zhan Jinxi said.
