Chapter 396 Evil
"Thank you, my daughter, thank you for understanding your mother, sob sob sob..." Song Xiuying didn't cry for long this time, nor did she sigh. She wiped away her tears, pulled Tingnan to stand up, and said decisively, "Tingnan, let's go back to Songjia Village and ask your parents."
With her daughter's marriage at stake, Song Xiuying, who had always been unhurried, began to get anxious. Since Factory Director Mu wasn't home, she ran back to find her son. Just then, Zheng Ruidong returned for the New Year, and Song Xiuying grabbed him to drive.
Zheng Ruidong has graduated from university and got married last year. His wife is also a fashion designer. The couple is a perfect match and opened a studio in Shenzhen, creating their own brand that specializes in designing high-end custom-made clothing.
Of course, he still takes on the clothing design for Little Sun Clothing, because it's not just a job; Director Mu is also his mentor, and one should never forget kindness.
A group of people rushed to Songjia Village, startling Song Wanli who thought something terrible had happened. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Tingnan, are you alright?"
Without saying a word, Song Xiuying pulled the person into the house, closed the door, and told them all about the beads in one breath. Everyone was stunned, as it was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
Song Wanli was the first to react: "Tingnan, are you feeling unwell? Is anything aching?"
Feeling everyone's concerned gazes, Song Tingnan quickly said, "No, Dad, nothing hurts. It's just that my uncle mentioned...finding a partner the other day, and I had that dream again last night."
I dreamt of distant clouds that looked like a fiery sunset, or perhaps a volcanic eruption. The clouds on the horizon were a vibrant mix of red, orange, and tangerine, and I felt myself getting hotter and hotter. Then, a flash of light pierced the bead around my neck, and I was jolted awake.
“I’ve never heard you mention this before, Ting Nan. Do you often have dreams like this?” Zheng Ruidong asked worriedly.
"Ahem!" Song Tingnan said embarrassedly, "I've always been abstinent and have never thought about dating. So I've only had a few dreams. The first one was when I had my period, the second one was when Song Yi's mother came to arrange a marriage, the night I turned eighteen, and the last one was when someone expressed their feelings for me. The most recent one was the one I just mentioned."
Zheng Ruidong circled around Ting Nan, "Is it that strange? It's like you have a camera inside your body. Will that heat burn you?"
"Camera? Thankfully, they weren't very hot. It was like a warning. I didn't really care anyway, it didn't have much of an impact, so I ignored it and it passed quickly. I didn't even tell you guys." Song Tingnan had never cared about getting married; it was just the way society was, and she hadn't thought of being different, assuming this matter would disappear in a few years. Now, what she wanted to understand was why no one could see the bead.
"Tingnan, could it be that your grandma gave it to you when you were little? But they probably confiscated all the good things passed down from their ancestors, right?" Gao Wanli couldn't understand how the whole family didn't know when Tingnan had a bead around her neck, and why no one could see it.
Song Tingnan shook her head. Her grandmother was very sensible and would never give her such an item. Moreover, when Song Yi's family proposed marriage, her grandmother was still healthy and didn't say anything.
“Ruidong, drive over and invite Master Gao over. He’s more knowledgeable and experienced. They’ve all gone home for the New Year.” Song Wanli wrung his hands anxiously. Like Tingnan, he felt this was no good.
Gao Haoran arrived quickly. He had already heard the reason from Zheng Ruidong on the way. As soon as he entered, he pulled Ting Nan to look at her and touched her arms, back, and other muscles and bones. "Your body hasn't changed much, has it? Ting Nan, how do you feel?"
"Master, you don't think I've been possessed by an evil spirit, do you?" Song Tingnan felt that everyone was being too tense.
"Pah, pah, pah, girl, don't talk nonsense." Song Wanli tapped Ting Nan; this matter was already strange.
Gao Haoran asked, "Wanli, I remember you mentioned a wandering monk who guided you. Was it him who did this?"
