CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: GO FIND YOUR SISTER

Ji Hua pushed the door open and entered with Xia Mian and the others.

Ji Ling was originally lying on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes.

Seeing Ji Hua entering with Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan, and a Daoist, a hint of vigilance and hostility instantly flashed in Ji Ling’s eyes. "What are you here for? Get out!"

Ji Ling didn’t like Xia Mian, especially after knowing that Xia Mian and Gu Zhi were not on good terms, Ji Ling harbored deep hostility towards Xia Mian.

"Gu Zhi has approached you, right?" Xia Mian’s eyes flickered slightly, and although her tone was calm, her words made Ji Ling unable to help but become alert.

"What’s it got to do with you?" Ji Ling’s tone was unfriendly.

Her relationship with Gu Zhi was beyond ordinary people’s imagination, so even though Gu Zhi almost harmed her last time, she wouldn’t betray Gu Zhi!

"Your complexion looks much better," Xia Mian ignored Ji Ling’s outburst and continued, unhurriedly, "Gu Zhi must have spent a lot of energy saving you, right?"

Ji Ling stared intently at Xia Mian, "What exactly do you want to say?!"

"Do you know, Gu Zhi is from the Heavenly Maiden Clan," Xia Mian lightly raised her eyebrow, "As far as I know, if the Heavenly Maiden Clan wants to save someone, it comes at the cost of sacrificing their own lifespan."

As soon as Xia Mian said this, Ji Ling’s face changed immediately, "You’re talking nonsense!"

Just by looking at Ji Ling’s expression, Xia Mian knew that Gu Zhi must have been here.

Otherwise, in such a short time, Ji Ling couldn’t have recovered from her previous dying state to her current appearance.

"Ji Ling, Gu Zhi has really treated you well, huh!" Xia Mian implied.

Ji Ling’s face went pale, Gu Zhi hurt himself to save her!

Thinking about it made Ji Ling feel particularly uncomfortable and she struggled to get up.

Xia Mian didn’t stop her, but Ji Ling’s body was still weak, and after struggling a few times, it was all in vain.

Dejected, Ji Ling lay back on the bed, resignedly closed her eyes, "Xia Mian, I know you did it on purpose."

Ji Ling gritted her teeth, "You’re trying to find Gu Zhi through me. I tell you, don’t even dream about it!"

Ji Ling lay back and refused to speak any further, leaving everyone with only a stubborn back.

Xia Mian chuckled lightly, "You’re wrong, I just needed to confirm something with you, and now I’ve got the answer I wanted."

After saying that, Xia Mian turned and left the room.

Ji Ling could no longer lie still. She suddenly opened her eyes, feeling like her heart was in turmoil.

"Confirm something? What thing?" Feeling uneasy, Ji Ling finally took out her phone to call Gu Zhi.

On the other end, Gu Zhi’s voice came through, gentle as ever, "Ah Ling, what’s up?"

"Ah Zhi, Xia Mian just came to see me." Ji Ling briefly explained what had happened, "She’s targeting you again, be careful."

Gu Zhi laughed, "Silly girl, nothing will happen to me. Don’t worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhi’s eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Xia Mian had found Ji Ling, which meant she was already suspicious of her.

However... even if she suspected, so what?

Xia Mian had no evidence to prove the things happening in the Ji Family were related to her, and as long as she denied it, what could Xia Mian do?

Gu Zhi chuckled softly, raised her hand to smooth her hair at the temples, exuding allure just like her mother.

Outside the room came Gu Heng’s voice, "Ah Zhi, open the door!"

Gu Heng’s voice carried a hint of aggression and impatience, Gu Zhi’s eyes darkened, "What is it?"

"Ah Zhi, what are you up to with that Lu Family girl?" Gu Heng was very irritable, "Do you want to ruin our Gu Family?!"

Gu Zhi chuckled, "Isn’t it you who’s playing with the Gu Family?"

With these words, Gu Zhi pushed open the back window of the servant’s room and climbed out.

If Gu Heng found out what she had done, her life in the Gu Family would only become more difficult.

Gu Family, she couldn’t stay there any longer.

Not seeing Gu Zhi come to open the door, Gu Heng’s anger intensified, "Someone, break this door open for me!"

The Gu Family servants forcibly broke open the door, but found no sign of anyone inside.

Gu Heng’s face was unsightly, his gaze deep.

Indeed, nothing good comes from a despicable person’s offspring!

Tried to fool him and when it failed, she was quick to vanish!

"Call Gu Xiao back!" Gu Heng said solemnly.

At this point, Gu Heng finally realized that only the child with his legal wife could be truly aligned with him, while the child from other women, their heads just weren’t right!

Gu Heng sensed something wrong with Gu Zhi, his heart becoming uneasy, prompting him to have Gu Xiao quickly seek the help of high-level experts to assist the Gu Family.

Meanwhile, in the Ji Family, after Xia Mian left Ji Ling’s room, Ji Hua was filled with questions.

Downstairs, Ji Hua couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Xia, why did you talk to Ah Ling about those things?"

"To confirm the whereabouts of your ancestor’s belongings," Xia Mian said nonchalantly.

"Could they be with my sister?" Ji Hua was full of doubt.

Xia Mian smiled faintly, "It’s hard to say for sure!"

Gu Zhi had come, and Ji Ling had recovered quickly. Besides needing to sacrifice some lifespan, Gu Zhi also needed something related to the Ji Family.

The Ji Family’s ancestor’s lost item was just perfect for use here.

"I’ll give you a talisman, so if your family ancestor comes looking for you again tonight, send him to find your sister!" Xia Mian spoke while lightly drawing on Ji Hua’s forehead.

Ji Hua felt a cool sensation on his forehead, and something seemed to slip into his mind, making his previously muddled brain feel incredibly refreshed.

"Alright, now you can sleep well," Xia Mian said, leaving the Ji Family with Lu Zechuan.

Just as they stepped out the Ji Family’s door, Ji Changxing and Mu Keying returned from incense burning and prayer.

As soon as they got out of the car and saw Xia Mian, excitement lit up their faces immediately.

"Miss Xia! You’re finally back!" Mu Keying approached warmly, grasping Xia Mian’s hand, as if she were closer than her own daughter.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly, pulling her hand back, "Mrs. Ji, I’ve already dealt with Ji Hua’s matters earlier."

"Miss Xia, it’s not about that. It’s my father, he..." Ji Changxing said with a bit of embarrassment, "My father’s leg..."

"I’ll come over in three days," Xia Mian nodded, directly.

Ji Changxing immediately smiled, "Then thanks in advance, Miss Xia!"

Xia Mian nodded slightly and left the Ji Family’s door.

Not long after getting in the car, Xia Mian received a notification of a bank transfer.

With a full eight zeros, the Ji Family was indeed generous to her.

"Mianmian, Aunt Song doesn’t want you staying at my house anymore," Lu Zechuan spoke in a low tone, sounding a bit aggrieved.

Xia Mian pursed her lips, "Then I’ll stay at home temporarily."

Lu Zechuan replied with a gruff ’mm’ like an abandoned puppy.
