Good tea leaves should naturally be matched with good water, but there wasn't any good tea leaves or water in the rented house. Facing the refrigerator, I started to feel troubled.

Inside the fridge, there was only some carbonated drinks and coffee, all leftovers from working or playing overtime. There wasn't a single thing that could be given to the Buddha in the main hall.

But then I realized that there was nothing in this room that matched the old man outside, and if I had to say it, it was Luoyang's plaque.

The nobility on the signboard was on par with the old woman.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally poured myself a cup of boiling water and left the room.

The moment he left the room, he saw the woman gently caressing the plaque as if she was reminiscing about something.

I was stunned and shook my head. It was definitely because too many things had happened recently. Otherwise, why would a woman display such admiration for Luanyang?

When the woman heard my voice, she hurriedly turned her head and apologetically said with her head lowered, "I'm sorry, I saw something familiar, so I couldn't control myself and came a little closer. I'm sorry."

The way it looked made me feel like a tiny cloud of dust.

Even after working for so many years, I still felt a little awkward facing such a person. "Madam, you don't have to be so polite. Just say what you want to say."

The woman took the cup and said with a pale face, "Actually, I don't know how to say it, thank you for helping Luoyang. Originally, I should have taken Luanyang back, but I have something important, so I can't leave, and I need your help."

From her tone, it sounded as if she was very familiar with Luanyang, or at least talking to him in a family tone, which made me feel very uncomfortable, even though he was just an old woman.

Luoyang had already been dead for many years.

However, I didn't know the exact date at all. Her appearance made me realize that I didn't know anything about Luanyang at all. I knew nothing about Luanyang except her name and Mount Shu.

Such a realization made me feel inexplicably irritated.

The old woman saw that I didn't reply, nor was she anxious. Instead, she calmly took out a name card from her bag and placed it on the table.

"My surname is Bai and this is my name card. You should know about the Bai Group. If you have any urgent matters, you can ask them for help even if I'm not here."

With that, she took out a bank card from her bag.

I hope that I can help you. I know that Luanyang always likes the best things, and I hope that Miss Bai can do her best. Of course, I will also be satisfied with the final fee.

She maintained an elegant posture, as if the words did not come out of her mouth.

Every single word was like a sharp knife that stabbed into my chest. The impression from before was shattered into pieces here, leaving nothing behind.

And I have no mercy in the face of people I don't like.

"This … I don't know what kind of wife you're talking about, and what kind of person are you in Luoyang? Mother? If it was Mother, then why didn't Luanyang come to find you at the first possible moment? "

When the woman heard the word 'mother', she finally couldn't hide her elegant posture anymore. She revealed a trace of hatred and looked at me with a fierce gaze.

She spoke arrogantly, "Miss Bai, I originally thought we could have a good chat, but what I didn't expect was that you had to speak to me in a sharp tone. Don't you know how good you are in this city?"

I looked at her silently. The fire in my heart had almost died down, so I didn't need her to remind me. I naturally knew what I was capable of, but when I faced Luanyang's topic, I was unable to suppress the impulse in my heart.

The woman wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the bell in her bag. Her face was unhappy, but she couldn't refuse. She could only stand up and warn me, "Miss Bai, I hope you can understand what path you should take."

After saying that, she aggressively left my small rented room. I instantly felt at peace.

However, the two items placed on the table were extremely dazzling.

That card was not a piece of paper at all, instead, it was a kind of printed cloth with a golden glow on it. Even if one did not know what it was, one could easily tell that it was gold.

Also, the bank card on the table, I'm afraid I'll only be able to earn a million yuan in my entire life. But now, this million yuan is right in front of me.

After a long silence, I said that I had put both cards in a drawer and was waiting for a day to come when they would need them.

Luanyang never appeared. On the first day, I didn't have any reaction. I just assumed that it was just like how it usually was.

I went to work peacefully. Halfway to work, I met the woman who stopped me before. This time, she can be considered to be stopping me, but the nature of the situation is completely different.

Who would have thought that the overbearing lady would apologize to me with such an expression. If I didn't know what kind of person I was, I would have thought that I had an extraordinary status.

I coldly looked at this woman. To put it in perspective, the things that I encountered yesterday probably had something to do with this woman.

If it wasn't for her stopping me, I would definitely be able to return to my room before nightfall. At the very least, I wouldn't have to go through such a painful experience.

I looked at her with a cold expression and passed by without paying any attention to her.

Very quickly, I found out the reason. I didn't expect that Ji Nan would put me in such a high position. It was just a small matter, yet he insisted on that woman coming over to apologize to me, until I forgave her.

This kind of change made me a little scared and a little repulsed, because I subconsciously felt that Ji Nan and I were from two completely different worlds, and that this change was even more serious than the difference between a human and a ghost.

At the very least, it was fortunate that Ji Nan hadn't come back from his business outside. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what sort of scene it would be like.

For the next five days, I didn't feel any trace of Luanyang, no matter if it was the jade at my feet or the aura on the signboard. It was as if he had disappeared without a trace.

It was as if I had returned to the beginning of things. Everything was just my illusion, and there was no such thing as a ghost in this world.
