Chapter 36: Don't Hear the Old People Cry (6)

Ji Xinxin's car stopped directly at the entrance of Shi Mansion. She lifted her eyes to gaze at the majestic and luxurious house in front of her. It was pitch black, in stark contrast to the brightly lit villa next door.

Ji Xinxin raised her eyebrows, a trace of sarcasm crossing her features. She glanced sideways at Ling Chuxia, "Look at this pitch-black house. You must be alone quite a lot, right? Anyway, your husband only comes home a few times a year. I really don't understand why you're always in such a hurry to get back home."

What use was a house, however large and luxurious, if you lived in it alone and worried about ghosts at night?

Ling Chuxia seemed as though she hadn't heard, her lips curling slightly as she smiled at Ji Xinxin, her voice gentle, "Thank you for picking me up and bringing me back. When you're free, I'll treat you to a meal."

As Ling Chuxia spoke, she unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.
