120 slapped on the face

” What’s that?” Jia Li asked as she looked at the black spot in the middle of the bathtub with her hand over her eyebrows she tilted her head while focusing her attention on the black dot that was slowly getting bigger and bigger with each second. ” Why do I think that something is going to go very wrong here?”

She didn’t even finish speaking when suddenly the dot grew bigger and she immediately took several steps back with a frightened and questioning look on her face. ” W..What? What is this about? What’s going on in here?”

Grandma Lan Fen too stood up from the spot where she was sitting and then stared at the slowly growing black spot that was getting bigger by the second. The two of them exchanged a look with each other before they turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was frowning slightly, the three of them continued to look at the growing black spot, little by little it grew big and then suddenly a woman with her hair covering her face jumped out of nowhere as she screamed, ” LIU HUI YING!”

” ARGHHHH!”

” WHAT IS THAT THING!”

Both Grandma Lan Fen and Jia Li screamed at the same time as they backed away from the woman that popped out of the water, Liu Hui Ying on the other hand raised her hand and then smacked the ghost on the face with a loud smack causing the woman to stop in her stride and cover her cheek with a stunned look on her face.

” Aish, what are you doing? Do you want me to send you to the underworld the hard way?” Liu Hui Ying snapped at Zhai Chenguang who popped out of the water giving her a scare, even though she did not show it on her face, she was a delicate woman all right? She was scared as well! ” Do you think that I am treating you too well and that is why you are acting like such? Is that the reason you tried to pull this prank on me?”

After she was done scolding Zhai Chenguang, she turned to look at Jia Li and grandma Lan Fen before rolling her eyes at them and sneering, ” And why are you getting all scared out of nowhere? You two are dead already!”

” Oh, it is just that she popped out of nowhere and startled me all of a sudden, nothing else,” Jia Li patted her chest, even though her heart was no longer beating she sure as hell felt her dead heart jump in her chest right now, she has to admit that a ghost who has been left to walk on the surface of the earth for a very long time was indeed rather scary than others.

.....

” I am old and I get jumpy easily,” grandma Lan Fen replied from the side as she looked at Zhai Chenguang with a reproachful look on her face. ” I might be a ghost but I died of old age, you cannot expect me to act all mighty with my aged body... even if it does not exist any longer.”

Liu Hui Ying scoffed and that only made Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen flush in shame, even though they didn’t turn red their complexion did turn a shade darker as they turned to look at the culprit and couldn’t help but take their anger out on her.

” What is this about? Why did you jump on us like that?” Jia Li asked with a frown as she looked at Zhai Chenguang, they haven’t been rude to her and compared to other ghosts, Liu Hui Ying has been rather polite with her.

Zhai Chenguang lowered her head as she sniffed and then pointed at Liu Hui Ying who was sitting at the edge of the stairs and then replied, ” You said that nothing will happen to my mother but she fainted the second I went to tell her about my situation! You lied to me!”

“When did I lie to you?” Liu Hui Ying looked at Zhai Chenguang with a frown, seeing her acting innocent like this Zhai Chenguang was rather angry but before she could explode at Zhai Chenguang, the latter raised her hand and started counting everything off her fingers as she said, ” I told you that your mother has a long life ahead and will not necessarily die but I never said that she will not get a scare either, did I say that? I did not say that. In fact, not once did I say that she will be fine completely when seeing a ghost, fainting is the most common thing to happen, it’s your fault that you did not think that far.”

” But..” Zhai Chenguang began speaking, she was frowning looking a bit confused but then she was stopped by Liu Hui Ying who raised her hand and snapped her fingers in front of her face as she said, ” Did I or did I not say that your mother will be fine? She is alive, right? That’s what I took a guarantee for, if she died then you could have come to me and complained about my service but I didn’t say that she will not faint, no guarantee was given about that ... in short I and my team are not responsible for this little hiccup that you faced at the moment.”

Zhai Chenguang looked at Liu Hui Ying with a bewildered look on her face, she could feel that something was wrong and that Liu Hui Ying was sort of making a fool out of her but then she thought about what Liu Hui Ying said to her before sending her to her mother’s courtyard and she couldn’t find anything to say, even if she wanted to find a reason to complain, she slowly realised that Liu Hui Ying was right. She did not once say that her mother will not faint but–

” But you said that if I do this then I will be able to get what I want! My mother fainted and she will not bring my case in front of you and ask for your help!”

That’s right, Liu Hui Ying said that if she did that then she will be able to get justice and find out who killed her but nothing like that happened.
