After waking up, she ate the roasted chicken her elder brother left for her as usual, and then played with the tablet with Little Amber.
She had just logged into her social app on the tablet and clicked on the group with the most gossips. The hot topic in the group was a big scandal about the Chu family.
Rong Lan's fox eyes sparkled with excitement as she transformed into a gossip - loving spectator and scrolled through the chat records.
It took her half an hour to fully understand the whole story.
"I know why my elder brother reported this to mother. It's true that mother's intervention can work wonders in such matters," Rong Lan murmured in admiration.
According to the group chat, the person in power of the Chu Group hadn't been able to enter his own home in recent days. He was mercilessly locked out of the old mansion by his current wife, Mrs. Chu.
The chat also said that this was because the mistress of the Chu Group's boss had come to cause trouble for Mrs. Chu.
It was further reported that the mistress was sued by Mrs. Chu for breaking into a private residence. The boss of the Chu Group didn't even dare to utter a single word of protest. Instead, he hired the best lawyer for his wife, determined to send the mistress who broke into the house to prison for some time. Only after making this clear did he manage to enter the house.
This was truly heart - rending. After all, for Ms. Han, the last straw she could grasp should have been the boss of the Chu Group. But that "straw" was so afraid of being involved that he didn't hesitate to abandon Han Xiaoshuang.
"Meow~"
Hearing the cute meow of the little ragdoll cat, Rong Lan reached out her paw and stroked the cat's head. "Little Amber also thinks mother is amazing, right?"
Thanks to mother's outburst, father didn't dare to help Ms. Han.
With her greatest support gone, Ms. Han not only had to pay for the new door lock of their house but also had to experience prison life.
"Meow~"
"I wonder how she managed to escape from the mental asylum. I also wonder if Chu Chuan will be furious when he hears this news," the little fox murmured to herself.
"Han Xiaoshuang escaped from the mental asylum because Chu Chuan bribed the doctors there."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.
Rong Lan was startled. She turned around and saw the ghost Bai Rong Lan. She let out a sigh of relief and her fox ears drooped slightly. "It's you."
It really scared the fox! There should have been only her and Little Amber at home, but suddenly there was a third voice.
Rong Lan covered Little Amber's eyes with her paw. "Be a good girl, Little Amber. Mommy's friend is here to talk about something very important with mommy. You go to your little room and play for a while. Don't look back when you leave."
She was afraid that the little ragdoll cat would be scared if it saw the ghost.
Chu Amber was very obedient. It meowed in response, jumped off the sofa on its short legs, and walked slowly towards its room without looking back.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan was surprised. "Your little cat is quite spiritual."
The little kitten seemed to understand human words.
Even though the compliment wasn't for herself, Rong Lan still proudly raised her fox tail. "Maybe this is what they call 'like mother, like daughter'. I'm a smart little fox, so it's no wonder that Little Amber is smart too."
"Come on, please sit down," Rong Lan patted the empty space on the sofa. "Do you want some tea?"
The ghost Bai Rong Lan twitched the corner of her mouth. "No, thank you." She sat down on the sofa and sized up the little fox. She really couldn't imagine how the little fox could make tea for her. She was worried that there would be fox hair floating in the tea.
Although the ghost Bai Rong Lan said she didn't want tea, the hospitable little fox still went to the fridge and fetched a can of drink.
To avoid getting saliva all over the Coke can, Rong Lan rolled the can with her tail and ran back.
She placed the cold Coke on the coffee table and cast a little spell on the can. "Okay, you can touch the Coke now. If you want to drink it, go ahead. If not, I'll find you another drink later."
The ghost Bai Rong Lan thanked her. Out of curiosity, she picked up the Coke, pulled the tab, and took a small sip.
This was the first time she had tasted something since she became a ghost. She let out a comfortable sigh, with a hint of a smile in her eyes. "Little fox, are you so excited because you think I'm here to give you the answers you want?"
"Eh? No," Rong Lan squatted on the sofa, hugging her fox tail and patting the tip of her tail that was wet from the water droplets on the Coke can. "This is the first time a friend has come to my home. Maybe I'm just a little bit too excited."
As for the purpose of the ghost Bai Rong Lan's visit, she really had no idea.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan was stunned. Only then did she remember that the little fox must be lonely in this world. Since the original her didn't have many friends, the little fox also didn't have many playmates.
"Little fox, you seem weaker than last time," she said. The last time she saw the little fox, the wound on its ear hadn't fully healed. This time, the wound was already healed and the ears looked shiny. But somehow, the little fox seemed weaker to her.
"Eh?" Rong Lan looked shocked, with a big smile in her heterochromatic eyes. "Amazing! You actually noticed."
She thought that besides herself and Si Mo, the thousand - year - old Dragon God, no one else could tell that something was wrong with her.
She was indeed weaker, and she could feel it herself. The reason was very simple. Just as Si Mo had mentioned, she was actually just a soul from another world. Without a host body, she would be rejected by the world consciousness of this world.
She spent all the cultivation she gained from her hard - work every day resisting the rejection of the world consciousness. No wonder she was getting weaker.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan tightened her grip on the Coke can. "Your weakness must be related to your inability to return to your original body, and that must be related to me. Why didn't you come to me?"
Rong Lan waved her fox tail. "I don't want to influence your decision - making. And although I'm getting weaker, I won't die. I can hold on for a long time. It's not too late to come to you when I really can't hold on anymore."
She still hoped that the ghost Bai Rong Lan would have more time to think and make a decision without regret, instead of making a hasty decision under her influence and urging.
The opportunity of rebirth wasn't something everyone could get. If the ghost Bai Rong Lan still ended up regretting after getting such an opportunity, it would be a great loss.
"I came to you because I've already made up my mind," the ghost Bai Rong Lan put down the Coke that she had only taken a sip of, and reached out her hand to the little fox, palm up. "Little fox, give me your paw."
Rong Lan tilted her fox head and obediently raised a paw and placed it in the ghost Bai Rong Lan's palm.
Her intuition told her that the decision the ghost Bai Rong Lan made would be what she hoped for.
Sure enough—
The ghost Bai Rong Lan curled her fingers and gently held the soft fox paw. Her expression was calm and determined. "I've decided to revoke the second wish I made to you. I don't want the Bai family to be ruined, and I won't take revenge on Bai Rong Ran anymore."
