Chapter 497: Zhou Manning Changing Luck
Zhou Manning’s voice sounded weak. She had probably just woken up after being unconscious for a few days, and had instantly called Chi Shuyan. However, Chi Shuyan had thought that what this woman would be in a hurry for her to do as soon as she regained consciousness was to kill the malicious ghost.
When Zhou Manning didn’t hear Chi Shuyan’s reply, her expression turned a little impatient. She also learned from Yu Rong that the person who saved her was indeed Chi Shuyan, and that the person who killed the malicious ghost was also this woman. However, Zhou Manning didn’t feel the slightest bit of grat.i.tude. Thinking back to that night, if that woman surnamed Chi hadn’t been mistaken, Zhou Manning wouldn’t be in such a miserable state now.
Zhou Manning suspected even more that this woman surnamed Chi was deliberately using her for personal revenge, and had lured out that malicious ghost.
Thinking of Zhou Manqing, who had turned into a malicious ghost, Zhou Manning’s heart still shuddered.
When she first woke up, she had trembled with fear all the time and couldn’t calm down, afraid that the malicious ghost, Zhou Manqing, would find her again. Later, Yu Rong told her that the malicious ghost was gone, but Zhou Manning still waited in trepidation for a few days before confirming that the malicious ghost never looked for her again.
Only then did Zhou Manning heave a sigh of relief. Only after a few days pa.s.sed, and Zhou Manning regained some of her vigor, did she believe Yu Rong’s words that the malicious ghost had been destroyed.
Zhou Manning still didn’t dare think about that night, when she had been petrified to see Zhou Manqing again, nor did she dare look at the wound on her stomach. At the thought of how she had almost been reduced to the same state as that swindler Daoist priest, Zhou Manning didn’t sleep well for the past few days. Whenever she slept, she dreamed of that terrifying night; it was a life worse than death.
That night, Zhou Manning experienced for the first time what it meant to be better off dead than alive. Her hatred for the woman surnamed Chi grew.
But now that she had something to ask of her, Zhou Manning naturally couldn’t fall out with this woman.
Seeing that the woman didn’t reply, Zhou Manning repeated, “Master Chi, I want to change my recent luck. When are you free?” Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Zhou Manning immediately said, “Master Chi, thank you for eliminating that malicious ghost for me. I’ll get Yu Rong to transfer the rest of the money to you!”
Chi Shuyan: … When did she destroy that malicious ghost?
Zhou Manning quickly said, “Master Chi, you also know that luck is very important in our line of work. I don’t mean anything else by it. I just want to ask if there’s any way to recover the luck that was borrowed from me before? Master Chi, may I ask if you have a way? No matter how much it costs!”
Was this woman used to spending money on her?
If Chi Shuyan didn’t know the truth, she might have really thought that Zhou Manning’s att.i.tude was quite sincere. At the thought of the vicious things this woman had done to her own sister, however, Chi Shuyan became even more vigilant against this woman. She didn’t directly respond to the matter of whether or not she had killed the malicious ghost. Zhou Manqing hadn’t come to find this woman these days, probably because of her own serious injuries.
Chi Shuyan really wanted to see the real Zhou Manqing deal with this woman now. She had really underestimated this woman’s lack of conscience and bottom line.
At the thought of what this woman had done to her own sister, and then even enjoyed everything which belonged to the real Zhou Manqing without any guilt, Chi Shuyan didn’t have the slightest favorable impression of Zhou Manning.
So, she wanted her to change her luck? Talk about it in the next life!
Chi Shuyan’s tone was perfunctory and cold. “Miss Zhou, there’s no other way to become luckier. As long as you do more good deeds sincerely, your luck will naturally get better and better after a few years! The luck that was borrowed from you will also be restored! Whatever luck you had before, whatever luck you have in the future!”
Heh heh, this woman indeed didn’t have a proper foundation. Chi Shuyan was now very sure that this woman’s luck had been borrowed from the real Zhou Manqing all these years. As for Zhou Manning’s own luck, Chi Shuyan sneered.
