Facts proved that no money would come even if they waited until afternoon.
Rong Lan was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep lying on the table. Si Mo couldn't bear to watch any longer and got up to go out. "I'll go to the nearby café to buy you a cup of coffee."
Rong Lan waved her hand at Si Mo. "Go ahead, go ahead."
She was so sleepy that her mind couldn't react for a moment. Only after Si Mo left did she suddenly remember that if Si Mo left, apart from her, there would only be these little ghosts left in the fortune - telling shop.
Rong Lan sat up straight silently, reached out to tidy the fur of her fox ears, and looked seriously at those little ghosts.
Although those little ghosts thought Rong Lan was an outlier, she was the one whom their respected Dragon God had to call the boss. They didn't dare to underestimate Rong Lan. Sensing that Rong Lan was looking at them, they also silently straightened their backs.
After looking at them for a while, Rong Lan cleared her throat and spoke. "Why didn't you enter the Ghost Gate and reincarnate in the Underworld back then?"
If she didn't talk to someone, she would fall asleep. But she didn't dare to fall asleep under the gazes of these little ghosts. It gave her the creeps. However, the only ones who could talk to her on the spot were these little ghosts. Helplessly, she could only find topics to chat with them.
Those little ghosts looked at each other and then started to speak one by one.
"I couldn't let go of my child. When I had a car accident, my child was also in the car. She was so little, only one and a half years old... I wanted to make sure if she had survived. But after I confirmed that my child had survived safely, the Ghost Gate that had opened for me had already closed..."
"Now, even I find my reason ridiculous. I was waiting for someone and was reluctant to enter the Ghost Gate. But I never managed to wait for him. I waited for ten years when I was alive and another twenty years when I became a ghost. I just couldn't wait any longer, so I went to find him on my own initiative. As a result, I found that he was living a happy life with another woman, respecting each other as guests and having a large and prosperous family."
Rong Lan was silent. She knew that these little ghosts all had their own stories. After all, no ghost would not want to enter the Ghost Gate for no reason.
Si Mo returned to the fortune - telling shop with a cup of coffee in each hand. Seeing the little ghosts and the little fox chatting merrily, he almost suspected that the little fox had been possessed.
Had she been so bored? Before, she didn't even want to say a word more to those little ghosts. He had only been out for half an hour, and he felt that they were almost becoming friends.
Si Mo put the coffee in his right hand in front of Rong Lan. Rong Lan thanked him. Just as she picked up the coffee and took a sip, her phone rang.
The name displayed on the phone screen was 'Chu Hengyuan'. Even though Rong Lan knew that ordinary people couldn't hear the voices of the little ghosts, she still made a shushing gesture at the little ghosts, signaling them to stop for a while as she was going to answer a call.
The little ghosts cooperatively paused their chat. Only then did Rong Lan swipe the phone screen, raise the phone to her ear and say, "Brother?"
He knew that this was her working time. He wouldn't call her at this time if there was no important matter.
The person on the other end of the phone was smiling gently. "Do you want to see Ms. Chen Hong being sent to the mental hospital with your own eyes, Lanlan?"
Rong Lan's fox ears twitched. "Yes, I do."
"Then Lanlan, pack up and wait for me at the bus stop opposite the shopping mall entrance. I'll go pick you up." As Chu Hengyuan said this, he picked up the car keys and prepared to go out.
"Okay!" After Rong Lan answered, she hung up the phone, turned to tell Si Mo that she was going to skip work today. "It's said that Chen Hong is going to be sent to the mental hospital. I'll go and check the situation. Maybe I can comfort Xie Xinxin."
Si Mo: "..." Could he say that he also wanted to go and have some fun? But with this group of little ghosts in the fortune - telling shop, he couldn't leave. He could only nod helplessly. "Go ahead. I'll stay here to watch the shop."
The little ghosts looked at Rong Lan longingly. "Master, the money..."
"Don't worry. If I receive the money in my card, I'll send a message to Si Mo immediately." Skipping work was one thing, but she didn't plan to ignore everything. Although she thought that based on today's situation, she wouldn't be able to get the 200,000 yuan.
"Okay, then we'll be at ease."
Rong Lan bounced out of the fortune - telling shop. She wasn't sleepy anymore and was in a really good mood.
Not only Rong Lan but also Si Mo was in a good mood. After all, he also liked to hear the news that the person who had tricked him was about to be in bad luck.
As soon as Rong Lan reached the bus stop, a small car stopped in front of her.
She recognized the license plate of Chu Hengyuan's car, opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.
After the little girl fastened her seat - belt, Chu Hengyuan restarted the car and drove towards the place located in the navigation.
"Did Chen Hong want to stay in the mental hospital by herself, or was it someone who sent her there?" Rong Lan was extremely curious. After all, she thought that it would take ten days or half a month to hear this good news. She didn't expect Chu Hengyuan to be so fast and achieve his goal in just two days.
Hearing the undisguised smile in his little wife's tone, Chu Hengyuan's eyebrows were gentle. "Ms. Chen Hong's husband sent her there himself."
"Huh?" Was it that interesting? She still remembered that Chen Hong had told her and Si Mo that she and her husband loved each other deeply and were a loving couple. She seemed to have also said that she didn't choose to divorce because she couldn't let go of love. Was Chen Hong now going to be abandoned by the love she had extolled?
Rong Lan was extremely looking forward to seeing what state Chen Hong would be in when she saw her later.
Chu Hengyuan drove the car directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the mental hospital.
As soon as the car stopped, Rong Lan couldn't wait to open the door and get out.
Chu Hengyuan got out of the car right after her, walked around to the other side and took his little girl's hand. "I've seen Ms. Chen Hong."
Rong Lan squinted her eyes. "I've seen her too."
Chen Hong was much calmer than she had imagined. She had thought that Chen Hong would be hysterical and beg her husband not to be so cruel and abandon her. As a result, she was just a bit haggard and her eye sockets were a bit red. She could still maintain the elegance of a noble family's wife.
"Let's go in." When Chu Hengyuan and Rong Lan got closer, the head of the Xie family said with a straight face.
Chu Hengyuan didn't care about the other person's bad attitude. After all, this was the person who was going to send his wife to the mental hospital with his own hands. If the head of the Xie family could smile, it would seem too heartless. This attitude was normal.
Rong Lan didn't care much either. She only cared about how Chen Hong was feeling now. But unfortunately, Chen Hong just gave her a cold glance and then never looked at her again. She didn't say a single word to her. If it weren't for the blue veins popping out on the back of Chen Hong's hand that was holding the bag, she would have thought that Chen Hong had changed her nature.
Chu Hengyuan and Rong Lan fully demonstrated the good behavior of onlookers. They watched the head of the Xie family complete all the procedures for a long - term stay in the mental hospital without saying a word. They were in a state of watching the show throughout the whole process.
