Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin left, Qin Qing ran in to buy talismans.
Chi Shuyan didn’t give them to her immediately, but asked for her reason to do so.
Qin Qing didn’t hide anything at that moment and recounted the matter. It turned out that she was a light sleeper, and ever since she invited the Buddha statue in, she would sense something walking around in her room every night when she slept. Not only that, when she went to the washroom every night, she always felt that the Buddha statue was staring at her. Once, she even saw its eyes move.
Qin Qing trembled as she spoke, her eyes filled with fear. Chi Shuyan didn’t speak for a long time, but stared at Qin Qing.
Qin Qing panicked and hurriedly said, “Shuyan, I’m really not lying to you! I’m telling the truth. I did see the eyes of the Buddha statue move. Those eyes look real, like they can spy on people.”
!!
Chi Shuyan’s face eased a little; although Qin Qing hadn’t finished speaking, she indeed wasn’t lying. However, this was a rare moment that the other party would beg her, so she wasn’t prepared to let her off easily. She was prepared to pry her mouth open, and also address the matter of giving the Ruan family the Buddha pendant as well as the person behind it.
Sure enough!
At the mention of her giving Xu Tong the black Buddha pendant, Qin Qing felt guilty, terrified and scared. She also knew that the Ruan family probably already knew what she had done. At that moment, Qin Qing didn’t know whether to be glad that she hadn’t rushed to die in front of Film Emperor Ruan, or glad that he had been magnanimous enough not to take revenge on her and kick her out of the film crew.
In fact, Qin Qing had long been prepared. If the Ruan family really questioned her, she would pretend to be stupid and innocent, and push the blame on others. Now that the matter of her giving Xu Tong a Buddha pendant with ill intentions was brought up, Qin Qing felt very guilty and was prepared to use the excuse she had thought of.
But before she could say anything, this Chi girl in front of her seemed to have a pair of penetrating eyes as she stared at her quietly, as if she could through everything. Qin Qing felt even more uneasy and apprehensive, and her face turned a little green.
In the next second, the other party said indifferently and coldly, “You better tell me the truth, or I won’t sell you a single talisman. I believe you should know some of the inside story and how serious this matter is. Of course, since you don’t want to say why you gave the Ruan family the Buddha pendant back then, why don’t you tell me who gave you that Buddha pendant?”
Qin Qing opened her mouth, but before she could say the words “Zhuang Yanru,” a seal flashed through her mind, preventing her from saying the name at all. Moreover, she had a strong premonition that once she said the name, she would definitely die faster than anyone else. The fear in Qin Qing’s eyes grew. Her face was pale and she looked very haggard. She didn’t want to die at all.
In the end, Qin Qing’s eyes flashed and she hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t know anything!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan stared at Qin Qing in front of her and wasn’t in a hurry, but her eyes were very cold. “Oh? Since Miss Qin has the heart to hide this matter, I also have my own selfish motives and don’t want to waste my talismans on you. Miss Qin, take care of yourself. I still have other things to do. Goodbye!”
Qin Qing saw the Chi girl burn the bridge so quickly. No matter what, she had revealed a lot of the truth just now. However, not only did this woman not sell her the talismans, she also wanted to kick her out. Qin Qing hated her to the core, but she was reliant on her favor now.
Qin Qing was filled with hatred, and her eyes were cold and fl.u.s.tered. She hurriedly said, “Wait, Shuyan, you clearly said that as long as I tell you about the Buddha pendant, I can buy talismans from you. I’ve already said a lot…”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t soft-hearted at all when she strung Qin Qing along, nor did she feel guilty. She said coldly, “I already know that information. Do I need you to tell me?”
Qin Qing didn’t believe the woman in front of her and was certain that she was deliberately playing with her. Her eyes were filled with hatred. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had a favor to ask, she really would have shed all pretense of cordiality with this Chi girl.
Qin Qing stood there and refused to leave. Seeing the Chi girl shout for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to kick her out, Qin Qing panicked and hated them. However, she was in a fl.u.s.ter now. She couldn’t contact Zhuang Yanru at all, so she could only throw herself on the Chi girl’s mercy. Qin Qing couldn’t tell her about Zhuang Yanru, but she quickly thought of something and said, “I know why that person from the film crew died in an accident!”
Afraid that Chi Shuyan would get Feng Yuanlin’s men to throw her out, Qin Qing hurriedly repeated, “I really know why that person died!”
“So? What does that have to do with me?” Chi Shuyan sneered.
Seeing that the woman in front of her was unmoved, Qin Qing panicked completely and hurriedly said, “I know that his sudden death has something to do with the Buddha statue.”
Qin Qing was certain that if she said this, the Chi girl would definitely want to know.
In fact, Chi Shuyan did pause, and told Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan to stop.
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan felt that it was a pity. At the thought of how the Qin woman in front of them had cheated on Director Feng, they really wanted to avenge him. It would be good if they could throw this woman out. The two of them planned to be ruthless!
Chi Shuyan turned around and stared at the Qin woman in front of her. She said indifferently, “Speak!”
This time, Qin Qing was careful and refused to say anything. Instead, she said, “I want to buy talismans first!”
This time, Qin Qing made up her mind not to say anything until she got tangible benefits. She even pushed her luck and said that if the Chi girl didn’t want to listen to her, she would leave first. If she wanted to know, she could look for Qin Qing again.
When Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan saw Qin Qing’s att.i.tude, they simply couldn’t help but advise Master Chi, “Sister-in-law, if she doesn’t want to buy them, so be it. Let her go!”
When Qin Qing heard this, her face almost twisted with anger.
Chi Shuyan could indeed tell that the woman in front of her was just deliberately forcing her hand, but she didn’t have time to waste with the woman. After thinking for a while, she agreed. “Okay!”
However, Chi Shuyan didn’t want to let the woman who had betrayed Brother Feng off so easily. She was only willing to sell her a few Exorcism Talismans. She didn’t sell her the Guiding Lightning Talismans, Exploding Talismans, and especially the Safety Talisman.
Although Qin Qing felt that these five or six Exorcism Talismans weren’t enough, she didn’t dare push her luck. She obediently explained the matter clearly. “The day before the accident, I heard him badmouth the Buddha statue. Then, something happened to him the next day!”
Afraid that Chi Shuyan wouldn’t believe her, Qin Qing also said that the people staying with that person also knew about this, and they were now very wary of the Buddha statue, and didn’t dare not believe in it.
