Chapter 236: Chapter 234: Slapping the Apocalypse Reborn Woman 15
In that life, Tang Anning had no clue whether her bracelet was lost or stolen.
She searched for a long time and couldnât find it, so she assumed it was really lost, oblivious to Su Leqingâs theft, hence there was no scenario where she went to the Xiao Familyâs doorstep to point fingers.
At that time, the Xiao Family was relieved that the Su family had broken off the engagement and did not notice Su Leqingâs abnormal behavior. Afterwards, they paid even less attention to the Su familyâs affairs, naturally unaware of many things.
But in this life, because of Anningâs intervention, she had alerted the Xiao Family.
Due to Su Leqingâs theft, the Xiao Family started paying attention to her and thus discovered many abnormalities about her.
Xiao Keke looked down upon Su Leqing even more and did not hold back in smearing her in front of Zhou Zhiyan.
Zhou Zhiyan felt outraged that her idol was bullied.
Conveniently, on Sunday, Zhou Zhigang took a day off as heâd been working particularly hard recently, and his salary with Qian Yue Mei was increased. Both had earned a good amount that month and wanted to use the opportunity to take Zhou Zhiyan shopping for some clothes and have a good meal.
The three of them agreed to have a meal together.
Zhou Zhiyan arrived early.
She waited at the agreed-upon restaurant for a while before Zhou Zhigang and Qian Yue Mei joined her.
After they sat down and ordered the dishes, Zhou Zhiyan directly asked Zhou Zhigang: "Brother, Iâve heard from my classmates that youâve been quite lucky with the opposite sex recently."
Zhou Zhiyan came from a modest household, but she was also treated like a little princess.
Both her mother and brother doted on her, and everything good in the household was reserved for her. She was straightforward and said whatever was on her mind in front of Zhou Zhigang.
Zhou Zhigang became particularly nervous upon hearing Zhou Zhiyanâs comment.
He kept looking at Qian Yue Mei, worried that she might get upset: "What nonsense are you talking about? What âlucky with the opposite sexâ? I have no idea what youâre talking about."
Zhou Zhiyan pouted in frustration: "Brother, my classmates already told me, donât try to deny it."
She then turned to Qian Yue Mei and advised: "Sister-in-law, you better keep a close eye on my brother, lest his soul gets ensnared by some little demon."
Qian Yue Mei looked at Zhou Zhigang.
She knew Zhou Zhiyan well enough to know that Zhou Zhiyan wouldnât fabricate such things without a basis.
Zhou Zhigang quickly explained: "No, it was just a wealthy young lady who was lost. I simply showed her the way. Later, she wanted to thank me, but I declined. She invited me to dinner, and I never went."
Qian Yue Mei sensed something else.
As a woman herself, she understood a certain psychology.
She scrutinized Zhou Zhigang: "It couldnât really be a stroke of romantic luck, could it?"
"Isnât that the case."
Zhou Zhiyan crossed her arms and scoffed: "My classmate and that Miss Suâs family are old family friends. She said that itâs become known in Capitalâs wealthy circles that Miss Su has called off her engagement and is running after a construction worker, and that the Xiao Family is being embarrassed because their son canât even compare to a construction worker. If this werenât true, why would people talk like this? At the very least, that Miss Su is up to no good."
Zhou Zhigang felt helpless: "Sis, just look at your brother. Iâm neither as handsome as a Heavenly Immortal, nor do I have the wealth of a nation, and to be honest, Iâm not that smart either. Iâm just a high school dropout without a proper diploma. How could a young lady heiress possibly take a fancy to me?"
Zhou Zhigang was quite self-aware.
"Who knows what sheâs thinking."
The more Zhou Zhiyan spoke, the angrier she got: "Brother, if she comes looking for you again, just avoid her. If it comes to it, just scold her. Letâs see if she still has the audacity to be the other woman. Let me tell you, her character is not good at all. My classmate said she even stole our Senior Sister Tangâs ancestral bracelet and wouldnât admit it."
"Really?"
Qian Yue Mei was puzzled: "Would such a young lady still steal? These wealthy people are really something else."
"Maybe she just enjoys stealing other peopleâs things, not just material objects, but she probably wants to steal a man too."
Zhou Zhiyan spoke even more disdainfully: "Sister-in-law, you better be vigilant too. Keep a close eye on my brother, and donât fall for someone elseâs tricks."
Qian Yue Mei nodded earnestly: "I will."
Zhou Zhiyan was still worried: "If a stranger comes up to you and invites you out for a meal or something, donât be fooled."
Qian Yue Mei smiled: "Donât worry, Iâm not a child anymore."
Zhou Zhiyan was so insistent, Zhou Zhigang took it to heart, thinking that if that Su guy came looking for him again, he couldnât be polite anymore; he would definitely have to send him away with harsh words.
Heâs just an ordinary person, not wishing for extreme wealth, nor envying othersâ family backgrounds. He simply wants to earn money through his own efforts, support his sisterâs education, then build a decent house in his hometown, marry Qian Yue Mei, and live a peaceful life.
Zhou Zhigang is not someone with ambition, and naturally, he wouldnât seek to ingratiate himself with such daughters of influential families.
After Zhou Zhiyan finished speaking, she happily went to eat with Qian Yue Mei, and after the meal, they went shopping for clothes together.
It was the afternoon when Zhou Zhiyan had a tutoring class to teach, so she hurried off.
South City
Yin Baichuan went back and ordered people to purchase items from a list.
The things Anning requested were quite tricky to find: black dog blood with not a single foreign hair, blood from the comb of a black rooster, some fine jade, as well as top-quality weapons and the likeâanyway, these items were not easy to locate.
But Yin Baichuan had been operating in South City for many years and had considerable influence.
He sent many people to search far and wide, sparing no expense, and they truly managed to find everything in one night.
The next day, Yin Baichuan called Anning.
Anning and the couple went to the cemetery again.
Anning looked at the time before heading out, and when they arrived, it was just past eleven oâclock. They waited for a while until it was high noon.
The items Yin Baichuan brought were already set up early, and Anning had prepared them, timing everything precisely.
The moment it turned noon, Anning directly splashed out the mixture of black dog blood and black rooster blood.
With her right hand forming a seal and mutters under her breath, at the moment the blood was splashed out, Yin Baichuan and his wife felt a chill throughout their bodies.
Both of them involuntarily wrapped their clothes tighter.
It was originally sunny, but as soon as the black dog blood was splashed, massive clouds covered the sun.
Yin Baichuan, watching, found it quite terrifying and grasped Mrs. Yinâs hand tightly and did not let go.
Mrs. Yin was also scared, leaning close to Yin Baichuan, shivering.
They were still far away; had they been closer, they would have been even less able to withstand it.
Anning grabbed a handful of jade in her hands, throwing it piece by piece, and with each throw, a puff of black mist rose up from where the jade stones landed.
With the rise of the black mist came waves of a pungent, bloody smell.
The clouds grew even heavier, and the whistling of wind could be heard, mixed intermittently with cries.
Anning said coldly, "Stop struggling in vain. Break for me, quickly."
She grabbed one of the antique knives Yin Baichuan had found, took a few steps forward, and plunged it into a certain spot in front of the grave.
As soon as the knife was inserted, the ground began to tremble, and the Yin couple was nearly shaken off their feet.
Anning lightly tapped her right hand and infused a stream of Spiritual Power into the knife, driving it even deeper: "Break for me."
As she uttered the word "break," a grayish-black fog enveloped the whole burial ground, and Anning was covered in it as well.
Mrs. Yin clung tightly to Yin Baichuan: "Miss Tang, she wonât be in any danger, right?"
Yin Baichuan couldnât be sure, but he couldnât show weakness in front of his wife: "No worries, Miss Tang is a highly skilled expert."
The black smoke grew denser, with sounds of fighting coming from within, making the Yin couple even more nervous and frightened.
After some time, the layer of fog dispersed, the clouds scattered too, and the weather was clear and bright again.
Anning stood in front of the grave with a knife, her aura sharp and enveloped in murderous intent.
Startled, Yin Baichuan swallowed his spit: "Miss Tang, Miss Tang, has the Seven Evil Formation been broken?"
Anning withdrew her murderous aura: "Itâs broken."
Yin Baichuan was overjoyed: "We really owe Miss Tang a great deal."
