Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

However, Tang Jiakai could see nothing, but Gu Ning could!

Tang Jiakai was even more scared now. He wanted to ask Gu Ning about it, but it wasn't the right time.

Although Chen Yuxi didn't know where the voice came from, he still answered the question and he knew whom Gu Ning was talking about. "Three years ago, the year after the National College Entrance Examination, Zhang Lihong, Wang Qiwei and I went to travel in Country T. We stayed in a hotel. When it was late at night, I was starving. I asked Wang Qiwei and Zhang Lihong whether they wanted to have some night snacks. Zhang Lihong was in a deep sleep, and we couldn't wake him up. I didn't want to bother him, so Wang Qiwei and I left to buy some food.

"After we had night snacks and came back, we found that the hotel we stayed in was on fire. Because Zhang Lihong was asleep, he failed to run away and was caught by the fire. I blamed myself for leaving the hotel. If I hadn't gone to buy night snacks, we could have woken Zhang Lihong up and he wouldn't have lost his life in the fire. I feel very guilty, but it was an accident!" said Chen Yuxi.

If so, it was really just an accident. Chen Yuxi and Wang Qiwei were innocent.

However, from Zhang Lihong's perspective, they went to travel together and stayed in the same hotel. Chen Yuxi and Wang Qiwei went to have night snacks, but left him alone. It was understandable that Wang Qiwei harbored a grudge.

"If you had woken me up back then, I wouldn't have been caught by the fire!" Zhang Lihong shouted, but Chen Yuxi couldn't hear it.

"Zhang Lihong, I understand your anger. You went out for a trip together. You stayed in the same hotel. If they had woken you up and went out for night snacks together or if they had stayed with you, you could have survived the fire, but it isn't their fault. They didn't know what would happen when they went out. If they had known about the accident, they would have woken you up and taken you out. You were asleep, and they didn't want to bother you, so they left you in the room," said Gu Ning. She wasn't criticizing Zhang Lihong, because he was in a terrible mood. If he was angered, he could become violent.

Hearing Gu Ning's conversation with Zhang Lihong, Tang Jiakai, Chen Yuxi, and Wang Qiwei were all frightened, especially Chen Yuxi and Wang Qiwei.

They thought that Zhang Lihong was already dead, but Gu Ning was still talking to him. Was she talking to a ghost?

"W-Who are you? Are you talking with Zhang Lihong? Isn't he..." Chen Yuxi asked Gu Ning and thought to himself that she might also be a ghost. Otherwise, he should be able to see her!

"You don't need to know that. Don't talk again until I ask you another question. Be honest with me, but close your mouth when I'm not talking to you," said Gu Ning. She didn't want Chen Yuxi to annoy Zhang Lihong and she mainly needed to deal with Zhang Lihong right now.

"Oh, sure!" Chen Yuxi agreed. He somehow felt that this girl wouldn't hurt him no matter who she was. Obviously, she was defending him.

Zhang Lihong thought that Gu Ning's words were reasonable, but he was still reluctant to accept the result. "So what? I died and they survived."

"What will make you willing to get over it and let them go?" Gu Ning asked. She stopped persuading him and tried to figure out his purpose first.

"I want them to die with me," said Zhang Lihong with strong hatred. He couldn't get over it until they were dead too.

Gu Ning was displeased. "They're innocent. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get into the next incarnation by doing that?"

Chen Yuxi and Wang Qiwei trembled heavily, and were filled with horror. To their surprise, Zhang Lihong wanted them to die with him.

"I don't care. If I get into the next incarnation, I'll forget who I am," said Zhang Lihong.

Some ghosts wanted to get into the next incarnation, while some had no interest in it, because they would lose all of their memories of the previous incarnation.

"Aren't you afraid that your family might be affected? They could have bad luck and be dragged into unnecessary trouble because of you," said Gu Ning.

Zhang Lihong was surprised and hesitated.

Seeing that, Gu Ning understood that he cared about his family.

Chen Yuxi heard from Gu Ning's words that Zhang Lihong wanted them to die with him. Although Chen Yuxi was aggrieved, he felt guilty upon thinking that Wang Qiwei and Tang Jiakai were completely innocent. He didn't want them to die due to his mistake.

Besides, Tang Jiakai was born in a family of high status. If the Tang family learned that Tang Jiakai died because of him, the Tang family would certainly punish his family for that. Chen Yuxi didn't want his family to be affected.

Thinking of that, the timid Chen Yuxi summoned up his courage and said, "If Zhang Lihong wants someone to die with him, I'll do it. Let Tang Jiakai and Wang Qiwei go. They're innocent."

Gu Ning and Zhang Lihong were shocked. They didn't expect him to make such a decision.

It was hard to see a man who cherished friendship nowadays.

Even if Chen Yuxi felt guilty for causing trouble for his friends, it wasn't an easy decision.

"Zhang Lihong, I can see that Chen Yuxi cherishes friendship very much. Your death was an accident, but they never stop blaming themselves for it. If they were caught in the fire instead, I believe that they wouldn't harbor a grudge," said Gu Ning. Although it didn't happen and Gu Ning actually had no idea what they would do, she still tried to persuade Zhang Lihong by saying so.

"They weren't caught by the fire. Why do you think they wouldn't?" Zhang Lihong questioned.

"Do you have no confidence in your friendship?" Gu Ning asked, "If so, there is nothing I can say now."

Instantly, Zhang Lihong fell silent. In fact, he was convinced by Gu Ning, but it was hard for him to get over it after he had harbored the grudge for so long.
