CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 289: I’M NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP

It’s simply inhumane!

...

When Qiao Qiqi returned home, Wu Lening was sitting in the living room waiting for her, not looking very happy.

"Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?" Qiao Qiqi walked into the living room and sat down.

"Qiqi, what exactly did you do today?" Wu Lening asked.

"Went to a concert with classmates."

"Who’s the person who brought you back? Has he brought you back before? Qiqi, you’re still in high school, you can’t be in a relationship."

"Mom, I’m not in a relationship! He’s my friend! I promise, if I were to date, I would definitely seek your approval!" Qiao Qiqi assured her mother very solemnly.

Wu Lening, "..."

"Qiqi, I’m just worried about you; your studies should still be your priority." Seeing her daughter’s seriousness, Wu Lening immediately believed her.

"Of course, I will get into Jing University."

"Then why don’t you go to Class One? I heard you got first place in your grade this time; you could go to Class One, right? Are you reluctant to leave your deskmate?"

Qiao Qiqi immediately knew what was going on; Qiao Yue’er must have ’accidentally’ told Mom about school matters.

"Mom, my deskmate and I are just friends! Don’t let your imagination run wild; go back to sleep. Have you been taking your medication regularly?" Qiao Qiqi pulled her mom up and guided her toward the bedroom.

"Yes, I take it on time every day. So, you rest early too. Qiqi, it’s not that I don’t believe you, I just worry." Wu Lening truly worried about this daughter, though she worried about everyone in the family.

"I know, relax, I’ll be fine." Qiao Qiqi escorted her mom back to her room. As she turned her head towards the staircase corner, a white fabric swiftly vanished.

Qiao Qiqi slightly curled her lips, realizing she’s been too indulgent with Qiao Yue’er lately, giving her too much comfort, leading her to create trouble at home every day!

At midnight, a woman’s scream pierced the night’s silence, followed by continuous screams, awakening the villa’s residents to see what was happening.

Wu Lening listened for a while and confirmed it was her daughter Yue’er’s voice, immediately calling the servants to go and check what was going on.

When the two reached upstairs, Qiao Yue’er dashed toward the stairs like a madwoman, nearly knocking down several people who had just come up!

"Yue’er, what happened? What’s going on?" Wu Lening nervously hugged her.

"Ghosts, there are ghosts!!" Qiao Yue’er was so frightened her face was pale, trembling continuously, on the edge of collapse.

"Wh... what? Are you dreaming? How could there be ghosts?" Wu Lening frowned at her, feeling like she was hit by something malevolent.

"There are really ghosts! So much blood! And two heads floating in the air! If you don’t believe me, go see!" Qiao Yue’er was agitated, her gaze frantic like a lunatic.

The look she had scared them—could there really be ghosts?

"Go see what’s really going on?" Wu Lening was held tightly by Qiao Yue’er and couldn’t move, so she had to let the servants investigate.

The two exchanged a glance and had to go check, though they didn’t quite believe in ghosts.

Nanny Zhang and Sister-in-law Li went to Qiao Yue’er’s room and first turned on the light; there was nothing inside. They went in to check around again but found no abnormalities. As they came out, Qiao Yue’er immediately shouted, "Must be ghosts!"
