Gao Tao stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. He had thought that Qiao Yuan wouldn't believe him. Who would believe such a thing? Even the doctor said he was crazy.
However, when he thought of Qiao Yuan's peculiarity, he felt relieved.
Just as Gao Tao was about to speak, Qiao Yuan waved his hand and interrupted, "Let me think... Hmm... Was there a female spirit who said she was your wife in your previous life? The kind that loved you to death, didn't want to reincarnate, and swore to wait for you for three lifetimes?"
Gao Tao's pupils dilated, and he nodded his head fiercely.
"The point is..." Qiao Yuan continued, "It has fair skin, beautiful looks, and long legs!"
Gao Tao gasped in shock and asked after a long while, "How did you know?"
"..."
'Hehe, men,' Qiao Yuan thought disdainfully in his heart.
If the spirit was a male, the rich people would have called the police immediately.
Gender discrimination was everywhere. But to be honest, these spirits had a good grasp of a man's thoughts.
Then Gao Tao told him what had happened to him. It had been about nine months ago, when he had been negotiating a business deal. As long as he could get this business deal, his business would be booming in the coming year, and he would be able to get in touch with the top circle in Yueyang City.
Although Gao Tao's business was so big now that he could earn a few million yuan a year, it was still not enough in the eyes of the people in the circle.
Every industry had its own pyramid!
That circle was the pyramid they had to climb to even if they had to break their heads.
In layman terms, that circle was like an aristocratic family, the deeply rooted kind!
To put it in an exaggerated way, even if the world was to end, the people in that circle would still exist!
Therefore, he really wanted to blend into that circle. Only then would his position in Yueyang City be completely stable. Otherwise, everything he had worked so hard for would only be a flash in the pan.
After a few days of searching for connections while being troubled over the bidding, he had a dream.
In the dream, he was born in a wealthy family similar to ancient society. They had countless assets and thousands of acres of good land. They were well-dressed and well-fed. And they had lived a superior life since they were young.
After he became an adult, he inherited the family's business. Once, when he was listening to music in the bar, he got to know a top prostitute, Ms. Xiao Fang.
He had taken a fancy to her with just one look!
From then on, he had been longing for her and had no desire to eat or drink, so he had made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Redeem her and marry her!
He didn't care about what the common people thought.
Just like that, the eight-carrier palanquin married Xiao Fang. After that, as expected, his family was ruined. His family fell from grace, and he died of depression.
When he woke up again, he actually felt an inexplicable emptiness. He looked at his wife by his bed and smoked a cigarette.
This dream felt very real!
Then he saw the figure in the mirror. His reflection in the mirror was actually a woman, and it was the woman from his dream.
It was Xiao Fang!
...
The story was very moving, the plot was exciting, and the dream was very good.
His wife was lying beside him, but he dreamt of another woman.
Persuading a prostitute to turn over a new leaf was very manly.
"So you believed it and fell hopelessly in love with it?" Qiao Yuan commented.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Gao Tao looked a little ashamed. He waved his hand and replied, "No, I didn't. My wife was still alive at that time."
Qiao Yuan was at a loss for words.
Then, Gao Tao continued, saying that his wife from his previous life had crossed time and space to reunite with him!
It was like a dream. However, after a few days of interaction, Gao Tao found that this woman had no intention of harming anyone, so he gradually believed all of it. In the next few days, he devoted his heart and mind into his business.
But unfortunately, he received news that the quota had already been decided. His opponent managed to forge a connection and he had lost.
He couldn't imagine the consequences of this incident. It seemed like he had only lost a business deal, but he could already predict the outcome. In less than ten years, he would definitely be suppressed by his competitors. He would fall one step behind, one step behind, and one step behind, until he was completely squeezed out of the market.
He had hidden the business crisis from his family. He couldn't face his wife, but he revealed it to the woman in the mirror.
Then... the ending got reversed. His opponent's scandal was exposed, and he jumped to his death, leaving Gao Tao to become the winner.
The woman in the mirror was helping him!
Later, misfortune happened in his family. His wife and children died in a car accident, which made him depressed. He ended up relying on the spirit to keep him company.
...
Qiao Yuan took another sip of hot water.
[Cultivation +1]
"So... After a while, you two got back together?" Qiao Yuan snorted. He had just talked about how loving he was with his wife, but after his wife passed away, he got together with a female spirit.
This... what a love!
Hu~
Qiao Yuan let out a breath, stood up, and stretched his body. He had more or less understood what had happened, and it was time to make a move. A spirit that had already killed people did not need to be explained.
And according to his speculation, it was the one behind Gao Tao's two collisions, and Gao Tao was a puppet used from the beginning to the end.
He actually believed in some bullsh*t love?
"Mr. Gao, can you please invite your female friend out?" Qiao Yuan requested calmly.
Gao Tao looked at him, who was standing up. He suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
"Little brother..." He asked warily, "What do you want to do? It's a good ghost, don't—"
"There are no ghosts in this world," Qiao Yuan retorted, "It's a spirit!"
"I didn't study much, so I don't understand these things. Anyway, it's good," Gao Tao insisted.
"…"
Qiao Yuan stepped forward and patted Gao Tao's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao," he said with a smile. "I'm not a pedantic person."
"We young people are very open-minded!"
"To be honest, I've always encouraged people to live in harmony with spirits. I hate it when people see things like that."
"Please believe me, I've seen more than you've played."
"If you have the chance in the future, you can ask around about my reputation in the spirit world. If I get a bad review, I'll immediately take my head off!"
Qiao Yuan rambled on, not letting the other party speak a word.
Gao Tao hesitated, looking at Qiao Yuan's young and sincere face.
"Don't lie to me!" he warned.
"Men don't lie to men!" Qiao Yuan assured him.
Gao Tao thought about it for a while and finally chose to believe him. A person's heart was often reflected in their facial features. Qiao Yuan looked like a Sunshine Boy. He had good features and was very handsome.
Gao Tao stood up and walked toward the bedroom. Qiao Yuan followed him and they came to the second floor.
Pa~
He turned on the lights.
A large bed that could accommodate seven or eight people appeared in front of him.
Gao Tao squatted down, knelt on the ground, and put his hand under the bed.
"…"
'Don't tell me that your girlfriend is under the bed…' Qiao Yuan looked at the gap, which was only about ten centimeters high, and fell into deep thought.
It shouldn't be... impossible... unless it was deflated.
