My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

" You mean to say this is not about just money?" asked Fu Yu Sheng sipping on his beer, he really didn't understand why Song Yan liked this thing when he could get her more than just a few dollars beer can and fried chicken. There were countless bottles of fine wine sitting in his cellar but for some unknown reason, his wife liked this frizzy drink more than she liked the carefully aged wine, what he didn't know was that after he and Fu Chen passed away, no one burnt any offering for her, Song Yan as a ghost needed a subtle amount of Yang energy and back then she would only rely on the cheap offerings that Gu Yijin burned for her and Fang Yanli after the decline of the Gu family.

There were times when the masters of the Gu family wouldn't offer them anything, so even things like fried chicken and beer became their soul food. So, when Gu Yijin started to burn those cheap offerings from the money she earned, it was as if they came alive again, that was how these two things became Song Yan's favourites.

" No," she threw the can that was in her hand skilfully in the trash bin and then picked another one. " Chu Lian first came to my house when I was seven, she came alone with a sob story of being abandoned by her husband and kicked out of the house. She was my mother's friend so no one suspected her but even back then when she first came to my house, I had a feeling that she looked at my dad in a really weird way, it couldn't be counted as love nor could it be counted as possessiveness." She frowned taking a sip of her beer. " It was like she was just obsessed with the idea of having him no matter in what situation or condition, like a child wanting a toy that he has been hung up on."

" With no luggage in her hands, it goes without saying that she borrowed everything from my mother, from dresses to shoes. She wore everything that was owned by my mother and she especially liked the dresses that my father gifted my mother, as a child, I never figured out why she did that but now that I try to remember the time when she was staying at our house, I remember that she would deliberately act similar to my mother and with their similar physique it was sometimes hard for us to differentiate between my mother and her. I caught her sneaking around the house late at night, there were times I saw her coming out of her room and standing in front of my parents' room for hours in the middle of the night."

" That must have been scary," Fu Yu Sheng couldn't even imagine how startled he would have been if he caught a woman standing in the middle of the corridor at night.

Leaning back on the chair, she turned to Fu Yu Sheng.  " It was, she had her hair scattered all over her face and everything. But then I don't know what happened but my mother kicked Chu Lian out of the house, back then Chu Lian swore that she will come back and she will return as the mistress of the house at that time we thought that she was just saying those words because she was angered by my mother throwing her out but now I realised, she wasn't swept away by emotions, she was speaking the truth, she was far more confident than someone saying nothing but nonsense."

Tilting her head she pressed the tip of her tongue to the back of her teeth. " Six months later my mother vanished as if she never existed on the face of this planet and then a few years later Chu Lian turned up at my house, with a sickly girl claiming that she was my father's daughter. Do you think that my father who was so reluctant of letting that woman and her daughter step inside the house will suddenly let them in for no reason? And then soon he changed as well kicking me and Brother Ling Yan out…. I believe that everything that Chu Lian was a well-thought plan."

Fu Yu Sheng placed the can on the table if Chu Lian was targeting his wife's family for so long then.  " She is a dangerous woman, a woman that can wait so long for every piece to fall in the right place is one who fears no one."

" She is and so is Wu Genji," Song Yan threw her head back and sucked in a breath as she carefully remembered each and every expression that the girl made back then before straightening her neck and looking at Fu Yu Sheng. " She looked at you the same way as Chu Lian looked at my father."

He reacted the same way she expected him to, at first he looked at her in disbelief then with confusion before saying, " There is no way right? I mean she might have some little infatuation with me when she was young but now...I am past thirty, almost two decades older than her."

Song Yan breathed out and smiled at Fu Yu Sheng with her lips tightly pressed together. " Imagine being in her shoes, will you? All alone with no friends, having only her biological brothers as her playmates but then one day a boy comes walking into her life, he takes pity on her and plays a few games with her even if that was something he did out of pure sympathy, don't you think that the girl will have some sort of special feelings for that boy?"

When she said it like that there was nothing Fu Yu Sheng could say because he knew that she was right.

" So the reason, you told me about Chu Lian was——"

" To warn you against that girl named Wu Genji," nodded Song Yan interrupting Fu Yu Sheng in between. " Did you think I was just blabbering about my family's problem to you?
