Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao had a bad feeling when she heard Madam Chai say that, especially when she saw Mr and Mrs Zhou's sorrowful eyes. However, she knew that Madam Chai did not pick her words carelessly.

Therefore, Jiang Yao quickly interrupted Madam Chai's words with a hint of impatience. "Madam Chai, you said that you wanted to resolve this matter. I am not here to listen to any superstitions in Yuan City. A life for a life. Madam Chai, you are not a child, so I don't need to tell you that Xiaocheng did not commit suicide—she was killed. I don't know if you have anything to do with it, but I am sure it has everything to do with Chai Xianglong and the doctors at that hospital. These people are the criminals who killed Zhou Xiaocheng. So, if you want to discuss it, then let them surrender to the police."

"It seems like Young Madam Lu is really humorous. Zhou Xiaocheng is dead because she committed suicide. Why would that have anything to do with doctors? Even if you are Third Young Master Lu's wife, it doesn't mean that you can go around accusing someone without any proof, right?" Madam Chai smiled forcefully.

Then, she chuckled and continued to speak with the Zhou family. "Even though Zhou Xiaocheng is dead, she can still be our daughter-in-law if you are willing for that to happen. My son's second wife will pay respect to her when they get married. And when their children grow up, they will also continue to burn incense to pay their respect to Xiaocheng. Of course, I understand if you don't want to do that. After all, Xianglong had wronged her. I can find a medium for Zhou Xiaocheng and also a good-looking husband with a good family background so that they can get married in the underworld. We can raise a child on their behalf, and the child can address them as Mom and Dad."

Madam Chai looked at Mr and Mrs Zhou to gauge if they would agree to her suggestion. She said, "I heard the news mentioned that a 19-year-old boy died in an accident about a month ago. He was a university student, and he looked like Zhou Zheng. When he was alive, he had a good temper, was filial and well-behaved. At a glance, he looked like a person who would dote on others. He seemed like a perfect match for Zhou Xiaocheng. That boy's family is quite well-off. The boy's parents adopted a child from a relative's family for their son. Therefore, Zhou Xiaocheng can go with him. You don't have to worry about her being a wandering ghost."

"As parents, you have to think about your children. Zhou Xiaocheng is already dead, but you still have a son and a daughter. You can't ignore them because of your dead daughter. You have to worry about their future. If you insist on making a fuss, I'm sure you know that your family has no money and can't afford to waste any more time. It will only bring disaster to your two remaining children." Madam Chai's tone became colder. Then, she took her teacup and drank from it. She wanted the Zhou family to think about her words.

Zhou Xiaoxia shook her father's arm gently. "Dad, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not afraid! In any case, we can't let my sister die in vain. Those who wronged her must pay the price!"

"Eldest Sister is right! If you're worried about Second Sister's burial plot, then we'll just bury her in our family's ancestral grave. I'm the only son in our family, and I'll agree to that. When I get married and have children, I will tell my children to burn joss sticks and paper money for her!" Zhou Xiaoguang nodded in agreement.
