"Xiaojie, I really didn't expect you to say this. When I was pregnant with you, your father desperately wanted a boy."
He wasn't sexist; he just wanted a son so he could personally teach him how to be a policeman.
But after you were born, your dad felt that you were the child he had always longed for, and he would hold you tightly as soon as he got off work.
Before your father passed away, I whispered his name in his ear, and he kept calling out "Jie, Jie..."
He thought of you until his death, and now you feel he's affecting you? What about me? Wouldn't you despise me even more?
Hearing her mother's words, Xia Jie silently lowered her head.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I'm just begging you, please leave me alone, or I'll leave."
Xia Jie's resolute attitude shocked her mother, who was immediately stunned.
After a long while, she slowly spoke.
"Xiaojie, could you go to the clinic and get me some sleeping pills?"
Seeing her mother's reaction, Xia Jie immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing in her haste, and she felt very upset as well.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now,"
After saying that, she turned off the light for her mother and left her mother's bedroom.
Without realizing it, she walked back to her room and collapsed wearily onto her bed.
At that moment, she stared blankly at the ceiling, deeply troubled by her relationship with her mother, unsure how to win her over.
The next morning, Grandma Li called to say that the ghost had come again. Chen Xincheng, along with Li Dawei and Wu Mingcheng, went into Grandma Li's house again.
As soon as the three of them entered, they immediately continued to search the room, looking for any changes.
Grandma Li followed behind them, saying incessantly,
I thought to myself, "The police have come; even if there were ghosts, they'd be scared away."
It seems they didn't come around 12:30.
Before my secret feeling of relief had even faded, she suddenly appeared again.
This scared me to death! Ghosts that aren't even afraid of the police? I stayed up all night under the covers.
Wu Mingcheng observed the situation at the computer desk for a moment, then whispered to Chen Xincheng,
"Uncle Chen, the markings I made yesterday haven't changed,"
Li Dawei even took a magnifying glass and searched the carpet in Grandma Li's house, but still found nothing.
Chen Xincheng checked the doors and windows again, but there were no signs of forced entry, and no one had come in through the windows.
Li Dawei scratched his head and said.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? In your room, the only thing that can make a sound is this speaker,"
Grandma Li was terrified.
"I already told you, it's really haunted! What are we going to do?"
Chen Xincheng glared at Li Dawei and comforted him.
"Grandma Li, don't worry, even if it's haunted, we'll definitely help you get rid of the ghost."
· ·······Request flowers····· ······
Grandma Li looked at Chen Xincheng with a puzzled expression and asked,
"You? How do you plan to capture them?"
Chen Xincheng glanced at Wu Mingcheng, who immediately nodded in understanding. Chen Xincheng was planning to personally catch the ghost tonight.
Wu Mingcheng comprehended the Dao.
"Understood, Uncle Chen,"
Xia Jie rushed to the hotel coffee shop and immediately saw her aunt waiting there. She quickly went over to her.
She smiled and said,
"Auntie, you must be happy to see your old classmate, right?"
My aunt sighed.
"Sigh, it's better not to see them than to miss them; my sisters are all getting old."
........ .... ...
Upon hearing this, Xia Jie said...
"Auntie is still so young. My mom has been staying with you for so long, I'm so sorry for the trouble."
Her aunt glanced at her and then said,
"Who's who? Your mom is the youngest, I'm eight years older than her. She grew up on my back, and everyone in the family dotes on her the most."
When I married your father, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, thinking we had entrusted ourselves to a reliable person. Who knew…”
Xia Jie shook her head and said,
"Auntie, let's not talk about the past. Aren't I all grown up now?"
Seeing how mature Xia Jie had become, her aunt couldn't help but feel moved by the hardships Xia Jie had endured over the years. She also knew that her younger sister had been spoiled by the family.
She said with emotion,
"That's true. Look how successful you are now. You've worked hard too, taking care of her all the time."
Your aunt called you over to discuss your mother's situation. Your father has been gone for ten years.
Your mother has always been alone; do you expect her to stay single for the rest of her life? Isn't it tiring for you to be single too?
Xia Jie said helplessly.
"Auntie, I've always hoped that someone could take care of my mom and love her."
"I do have this responsibility, but a daughter can't shoulder everything. But my mother can't let go of my father," the door opened.
Chapter 456 Catching Ghosts
Seeing that Xia Jie didn't object, the aunt was secretly pleased. As long as Xia Jie didn't object, everything would be easy to discuss.
She quickly explained,
"Your dad used to have a subordinate named Liang Wei, you know him, right?"
Xia Jie vaguely remembered Liang Wei, whom her aunt had mentioned, and nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Liang, he was my dad's apprentice, and he's been my dad's partner ever since. They have a good relationship."
He took good care of us after my dad passed away. Later, he quit being a policeman and I heard he's working in a government agency now. What happened to him?
Auntie said with a smile,
"Your mom was in Qingdao this time, and he went there too. I saw the two of them together, and your mom seemed quite happy."
I made some inquiries and found out that Mr. Liang, number "843," is divorced, and custody of the child was awarded to his wife.
Xiaojie, what do you think about this? What do you think of your Uncle Liang?
Xia Jie thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Uncle Liang has always been very kind to my mom and me, but I never thought about it in that way before, even though I knew he had a family."
"Auntie, as long as my mom is willing, I have no objection. Having someone take care of her is such a good thing, isn't it?"
Auntie laughed heartily. Since Xia Jie had no objections, things were much easier to handle.
She began to speak.
"That's why I came today, Xiaojie. Your mother has a lot of problems. It's all my fault for spoiling her since she was little, your grandparents and I did."
It's really not easy to find someone who doesn't mind her little temper tantrums and even likes her.
I find that guy surnamed Liang strange. What does he like about your mother?
But he really does like your mom, and I think I can't let this person slip away.
But your mother clearly likes him too, yet she's putting on airs.
When asked, she said that no one in the world can compare to your father, Xiaojie. No matter how good your father was, he's no longer here.
"And your mother, she can't lift a basket or carry anything heavy, it's good enough that someone likes her."
After listening, Xia Jie smiled helplessly and sighed.
"Auntie, it's a good thing you're her older sister,"
Auntie smiled wryly.
"I'm her older sister, that's why I dare to say this, Xiaojie. I think she can't miss this opportunity."
Otherwise, you'll have to live alone for the rest of your life, and that would be tough for you.”
Xia Jie hesitated for a moment,
"Auntie, I definitely agree, I just don't know how to tell my mom,"
My aunt immediately said,
