Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Old Man Who Sells Sugar-Coated Haws Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Old Man Who Sells Sugar-Coated Haws “What can I do? Since ti cannot be rewound, what else is left for ? Either send to the police station for a year or let commit suicide to atone.”
Qiao Qingyu was so angered she laughed, “You’re not a child anymore. Who exactly do you think you’re talking to?”
He Juanjuan felt embarrassed as well, biting her teeth and saying, “It’s all Liu Ge’s fault.”
“Even if you bla Liu Ge, your character is still questionable.”
He Juanjuan looked up glaring at Qiao Qingyu.
Qiao Qingyu spoke slowly and deliberately, “Don’t look at like that. I am rely discussing the matter. We’re not close friends. According to what I think, had you not called out to today, we could have peacefully remained just acquaintances, which is fine by because I truly don’t like you.”
He Juanjuan, “…”
But she didn’t retort, instead, she accepted it.
So Qiao Qingyu inquired further, “What exactly did Liu Ge do to make you hate her so much that you take your anger out on He Xuerong, venting your own indignation?”
Qiao Qingyu hadn’t wanted to ask, but perhaps this was the crux of the issue.
Although she didn’t want to know the ssy affairs of Liu Ge and He Juanjuan, it involved He Xuerong after all. Rongrong was growing up day by day, and maternal instincts in these regards are sothing no one can let go of—otherwise, Rongrong wouldn’t cry at the sight of Liu Ge.
He Juanjuan looked at Qiao Qingyu.
People might say she’s opportunistic, compromising, or spineless, but right now, she didn’t feel superior in front of Qiao Qingyu at all.
Just like her mother said, she wasn’t as good as Qiao Qingyu in studies, nor in doing business.
Let alone now that Qiao Qingyu had Mr. Wu standing behind her.
She deluded herself into thinking that the slaps Qiao Qingyu had given her were, in a way, for He Xuerong’s sake.
Moreover, compelled by so unfathomable force while facing Qiao Qingyu’s clear, penetrating eyes, He Juanjuan blurted out the deeply suppressed mories—mories that no one would believe after all these years.
Their room door was closed, the curtains were open, and sunlight stread through, warming the room with a pleasant light. Yet, even so, Qiao Qingyu felt a chill down her spine as He Juanjuan spoke.
He Juanjuan hadn’t expected such a reaction from Qiao Qingyu and was surprised. Letting go of all concerns, she grabbed Qiao Qingyu’s hands, her voice trembling, “Qiao… Qiao Qingyu, do you believe ? Do you think what I am saying is true? Liu Ge is a bad woman. If it weren’t for those firecrackers, I might have been gone; she must have conspired with that that… Liu Ge, she’s just that that…”
He Juanjuan was nearly talking gibberish by now.
After much hesitation, she still didn’t say those four words: a demon in disguise.
Even in the privacy of her ho but especially in the early 1980s, one must be cautious about such matters; the saying “calamity cos from the mouth” was sothing everyone had learned deeply just a decade ago.
Qiao Qingyu quickly withdrew her hand, glancing at the doorway before frowning and asking, “He Juanjuan, have you talked about this with anyone else?”
“I’ve only told my mom. I didn’t dare tell my dad. My eldest brother was away on business, and my second brother wasn’t ho at that ti, after that, I didn’t dare speak of it again.” But as she said this, He Juanjuan suddenly stood up straight, her hand still trembling, yet she raised her hand, “I swear, I swear to heaven, what I’m saying is the truth, absolutely not a dream!”
She then murmured, “It was late at night, I wasn’t at ho—we were at the grocery store entrance. Why would I possibly be dreaming standing in the cold wind for no reason?”
Qiao Qingyu scrutinized He Juanjuan’s expression carefully and nodded to herself. She felt that He Juanjuan wasn’t lying, it must have been just as she described.
If it had been before, Qiao Qingyu truly wouldn’t have believed her.
After all, all demons and ghosts were just spoken about, written in novels, and portrayed on television. Who had ever really seen one?
It seed like there was no one around who had witnessed these things firsthand.
At most, it was perhaps ambiguously true, mixed with one’s own imagination.
But ever since she had transmigrated into this book, after encountering Han Lishi and Han Liuya, especially since she had a Space Device in her hand.
Thus, now Qiao Qingyu just didn’t speak. Even though she kept silent, in her heart she believed more in these mysterious things than anyone else.
It had been a long ti since there was any news of these two people.
But Qiao Qingyu knew that as long as Han Liuya was alive, she would not give up on coveting her body.
Mysterious, indeed it was so.
Liu Ge and Han Lishi were just as mysterious.
Then there was the enigmatic Zhang Family behind Wu Hong.
Why was Liu Ge with Wu Hong? Was it rely a secret elopent, or was there so secret they both didn’t know?
Furthermore, having t Lan Jianqing yesterday, he had been in the Qiao Family Team for five years, yet she had no recollection of him whatsoever, including the year she fell into the water at twelve…
Actually, Qiao Qingyu wasn’t keen on recalling Lan Jianqing. After seeing the expression on his face yesterday, Qiao Qingyu knew that Han Liuya, who had possessed her body, must have done or said sothing extrely shaful.
Where exactly did her mory go wrong?
Qiao Qingyu was zoning out for quite so ti, but He Juanjuan seed to see a savior. Just now, Qiao Qingyu had freed her hands, and she tugged at her sleeves, “Qiao Qingyu, do you believe too?”
Qiao Qingyu finally snapped back to reality and gave He Juanjuan a cold glance, saying without any courtesy, “He Juanjuan, even if I believe you, what does that have to do with you hurting Rongrong?”
“I… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated Rongrong that way, but Liu Ge must have been trying to kill then.”
Qiao Qingyu remained silent.
“Really, I am not thinking irrationally, I am already in the first year of middle school. How could I possibly forget this? Over the years, I have been thinking about why she was so kind that day, saying she wanted to take to buy candied haws. She had passed by that place with my older brother when they ca to our house. She should have known whether there were candied haws there. I think she did it on purpose…”
Qiao Qingyu felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
Liu Ge from back then, if she truly could see energy bodies different from humans, that is, energy bodies existing in another world, then what exactly did she want to do?
If she had no ill intentions, why would she turn and run, then blatantly lie about it?
If it weren’t for the firecrackers that scared off the sinister candied haw vendor, He Juanjuan being dragged into the dark alley, who knows where she would have been dragged to.
The whole incident seed like Liu Ge intentionally delivered He Juanjuan into the hands of the old candied haw vendor.
But why would Liu Ge do such a thing?
What was her objective?
What benefit could she possibly gain from this?
