Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Broken Happiness_1
His son had grown up, taller now, with his characteristics visible in the boy’s face, as if they were carved from the sa mold.
Zhu Zihao stood there, silently observing them, as if by observing for longer, he could prolong the beautiful and peaceful life they were living.
Qin Sisi understood his emotions and excused herself to the living room, examining the entire house without disturbing him.
There were no extravagant decorations. It looked like a very ordinary family ho, but every corner was cleaned scrupulously – the work of a diligent woman of the house.
The mother and son sitting on the sofa emanated a sense of harmony. The mother always spoke in a gentle, soft tone, and the little boy behaved very well.
Qin Sisi felt that, upon seeing that his wife and child had a decent life, Zhu Zihao should be able to leave in peace.
An hour later, Zhu Zihao finally moved to Qin Sisi and suggested, "Ms. Qin, let’s set down the things."
Qin Sisi contemplated and then asked, "Would they be frightened if these things suddenly appeared in the room?"
In a house with only a woman and a child, anything that appeared out of the blue, even money or beautiful flowers, could potentially cause fear and panic.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zihao’s face changed, then he hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, you’re right. What do you suppose we should do?"
After deliberating for a little while, Qin Sisi quietly opened the door and let Zhu Zihao leave the money and yellow roses outside.
Qin Sisi then stood inside and gently knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, the woman, unable to see any sign of Qin Sisi in the Invisible Bubble, naturally assud soone was knocking at the front door.
She went to open the door and saw a black plastic bag and a bunch of yellow roses.
Surprised, she looked around outside but didn’t find anyone. Thus, she brought the items inside.
The woman first examined the yellow roses. A mixture of joyful yet lancholic expression crossed her face. After being engrossed for a mont, she put down the roses and opened the black plastic bag.
When she saw the vibrant two hundred thousand yuan in cash, she was shocked. Then she found a letter in the bag.
She opened the letter with trembling hands, eagerly read it till the end, then tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mom, what’s wrong?" The little boy, who had unknowingly co to her side, extended his small hand to wipe her tears.
The woman hastily wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "Nothing, your mom is just happy."
The boy did not pay much attention to the black plastic bag on the ground. He picked up the yellow roses and asked, "Mom, who gave you these flowers?"
Coming back to her senses, the woman stared at the bright and beautiful yellow roses, her gaze expressing her confusion.
If they were from her late husband’s friend, then the money would make sense. But why the flowers?
Baffled, the woman decided not to think much of it for now and stood up to find a vase for the yellow roses.
However, after so searching, she couldn’t find one. She hadn’t bought any flowers since her husband’s death.
In the end, she found an empty mineral water bottle, cut off the narrow top part, filled it with clean water, and placed the pruned yellow roses in it.
She put the bottle with the yellow roses on the white dining table. The white table, the transparent bottle, and the bright roses added a splash of vivid color to the room.
Looking at the yellow roses, a flood of good mories filled her mind and a peaceful smile spread across her face.
"Let’s go," Zhu Zihao cast one last look at his wife and son, then turned and walked back to the balcony with gritted teeth.
Qin Sisi sighed and made her way to the balcony, once again summoning the Wings of Rainbow and flying back to ground level with Ye You and Zhu Zihao.
After Qin Sisi retracted the Wings of Rainbow and Ye You dispelled the Invisible Bubble, the two humans and one cat reappeared in Ning Hao’s line of sight.
By the ti they returned to the car, Zhu Zihao’s emotions had mostly settled. He glanced back one last ti, his eyes turning cold when he looked away, biting his lip with determination.
Such a blissful life had been shattered abruptly by his best friend. He was determined to make him pay for it!
Ning Hao looked at Zhu Zihao and inquired, "What do you plan to do next?"
Zhu Zihao’s eyes darkened as he answered, word by word, "First, I have to find Gu Liang."
Ning Hao pondered, then asked, "Do you know his ID number?"
Zhu Zihao replied, "I rember. Everything about him is etched clearly in my mind."
As he spoke, Zhu Zihao clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty rage flashing in his eyes.
Ning Hao nodded and replied, "With a na and an ID number, I can help you find him."
"Thank you," Zhu Zihao acknowledged softly and then leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, signaling that he didn’t want to talk anymore.
Ning Hao and Qin Sisi exchanged a glance, mutually agreeing not to disturb him.
Qin Sisi held Ye You, her palm unconsciously rubbing the soft fur.
Ye You looked at her affectionately, gave her a quick, gentle lick on her wrist, and then also closed his eyes to rest.
Ning Hao drove back to their residential area.
The car stopped in front of the building where Qin Sisi lived. Ning Hao glanced at Zhu Zihao, then asked Qin Sisi, "What do you plan to do with him?"
Qin Sisi looked back at Zhu Zihao and said, "He can stay with
for now. Tell him once you find any information about Gu Liang."
Although Zhu Zihao was a ghost, he was male. Objectively speaking, Ning Hao didn’t want him around Qin Sisi all the ti, but lacking a better alternative, he just reminded her, "Alright then, just be careful and call
if anything happens."
"Okay," Qin Sisi replied in a gentle voice, without taking it too seriously. With Ye You by her side, she didn’t greatly need Ning Hao’s support.
Qin Sisi called Zhu Zihao, asked him to get off the car with her, bid farewell to Ning Hao, and took him back to her place.
Zhu Zihao didn’t have anything on his mind regarding Qin Sisi’s arrangents. After all, they didn’t have any information about Gu Liang yet, and there was no use wandering aimlessly around.
After bringing Zhu Zihao ho, Qin Sisi consulted with Ye You for a mont, then proposed, "Although the amulet can protect you from the sun, your spiritual power will still be slightly affected. So, I’m going to keep you safe for now until we have information on Gu Liang. You can also use this ti to figure out your next steps."
Zhu Zihao contemplated, then agreed to Qin Sisi’s suggestion. He indeed needed a quiet environnt to plan his revenge against Gu Liang thoroughly.
