Chapter 593: The Zeng Family
Zeng Fan suddenly remembered that once, when he returned to the bedroom because he forgot a document, he happened to see Wan Li opening the cabinet.
Moreover, when he entered, Wan Li hurriedly closed the cabinet. Her expression was even a bit anxious.
As he was busy returning to the company for a meeting, he did not pay much attention.
Now that he thought about it, Wan Li should have raised the little ghost there.
He returned to his bedroom expressionlessly and opened the cabinet that Wan Li often used.
Inside was a doll with a strange smile. In front of the doll was an incense burner with three apples.
“Father, how did you know it was here?”
Zeng Zijuan, who followed him in, looked at him in surprise.
Zeng Fan turned his head and looked at her. “Juan Er, can you invite your classmate to our house tomorrow night?”
“I’ll try.” Zeng Zijuan pursed her lips. “I’m not very close to her. I don’t know if she’ll come over.”
“It’s alright if she doesn’t. I can find someone else.”
As he spoke, he took out a name card. On it were the words ‘Lu Zhou’.
Zeng Zijuan glanced at the strange doll and said lightly, “Then, wait for me to try. She seems to be quite powerful.”
Zeng Fan nodded slightly. “Go back and rest early. You have class tomorrow morning.”
Zeng Zijuan replied softly and returned to her room.
…
The next day, after school, Zeng Zijuan stopped Lu Sheng.
“What’s wrong?”
Lu Sheng looked at her in confusion.
Jun Hao and Chu Yan, who had not left yet, looked over.
Zeng Zijuan hesitated and said, “My… My father asked me to invite you to my house.”
Lu Sheng frowned. “Didn’t I tell you not to tell anyone that I gave you the video?”
“I’m sorry!” Zeng Zijuan scratched her head and said, “I didn’t want to say it initially, but if I didn’t expose you, my father won’t believe me.”
Lu Sheng sighed helplessly. “Wait.”
As she spoke, she sent Lu Zhou a message, telling him not to come and fetch her today.
Then, she said to Zeng Zijuan, “Chu Yan might come along with me.”
When Zeng Zijuan heard that, she subconsciously looked at Chu Yan.
The two of them were always inseparable. When she invited Lu Sheng, she had thoughts that Chu Yan would definitely follow her.
However…
She turned to Jun Hao, only to see him walking over with his bag.
“We don’t have to go to class tomorrow. I don’t want to go back too early today. Lu Sheng, Chu Yan, do you want to go for skewers together?”
“I’m afraid not.” Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Zeng Zijuan has already invited us to her house as guests. Do you want to come along?”
“Visit the Zeng family?”
Jun Hao raised an eyebrow and looked at Zeng Zijuan, who was looking at him expectantly. He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “Then, go ahead. I won’t be going.”
Then, he turned around and went to find his other friends.
Zeng Zijuan stomped her feet angrily, but could only watch helplessly as he left.
“Let’s go.”
She retracted her gaze reluctantly and walked out gloomily.
Lu Sheng looked at Chu Yan. Seeing his nod, she followed Zeng Zijuan.
The Zeng family’s driver was already waiting at the school gate. Once they left the school gate, they boarded the car and left.
When Lu Sheng entered the Zeng family, a wave of loneliness and silence hit her.
“My father is on his way back. Take a seat first.”
Zeng Zijuan threw her bag on the sofa and opened the fridge to get two bottles of drinks for the two of them.
“Is there no one else in your house?” Lu Sheng asked with her eyebrow raised.
“Others?” Zeng Zijuan smiled. “Other than me and my father, there’s no one else.”
