Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1149 - 1145: Profiting from the Deceased

Although Zhou Zifu loves himself, saying that Zhou Zifu doesn’t love Han Qiaoqi at all is simply impossible.

After all, with Han Qiaoqi being such a gentle and beautiful rich woman chasing him, few men would not be moved.

So at the moment of the car accident, Zhou Zifu regretted a little.

He gave up fighting for the steering wheel, but it was too late; the accident still happened.

Therefore, in the accident appraisal, it seemed as if the vehicle had lost control, with Zhou Zifu protecting Han Qiaoqi.

Unfortunately, Han Qiaoqi wasn’t so lucky and died, while Zhou Zifu, who was protecting her, survived but was seriously injured.

"So your parents think it was you driving when the accident happened?" Xiao Yue immediately understood.

"Yes."

Han Qiaoqi’s eyes reddened, not from sadness, but from anger.

"After Zhou Zifu woke up, he did not mention the previous argument and his emotional outburst at all; instead, he kept blaming himself to my parents, saying it was all his fault for not taking care of me..."

"That pretentious... uh..."

Han Qiaoqi wanted to curse, but when she met Dou Dou’s innocent gaze, she couldn’t utter the word.

"What’s a pretentious person?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"Just tea leaf water, don’t interrupt." Xiao Yue quickly replied.

Xiao Yue had passed away at the age of thirteen; she understood everything, naturally knowing what Han Qiaoqi wanted to say, so she rushed to answer for her.

"Sister Han, don’t mind her, go on."

Han Qiaoqi gratefully glanced at her and continued, "I saw him taking all the blame upon himself, and then seeing him covered in wounds, my parents started to warm up to him."

"I actually bear some responsibility too; I insisted on choosing him, creating friction with my parents. I didn’t want them to think that the person I chose was so bad, didn’t want them to see me as a joke."

She lowered her head, her voice full of regret, "I kept thinking, once he changes a bit, my parents could accept him again, but I didn’t expect it to end this way."

In the end, her parents felt guilt and sympathy only towards Zhou Zifu.

"They think it’s my own defiance that caused harm to myself and to him."

Han Qiaoqi choked with emotion, "After recovering, Zhou Zifu visited my house daily, showed concern for my parents, helped with the orchard care, more attentively than when I was around. My parents felt they had misjudged him before, thinking Zhou Zifu was deeply affectionate and loyal, saying it’s me who lacked fortune..."

Han Qiaoqi spoke with a sarcastic smile on her face, amazed that such a person could exist.

Dou Dou listened blankly: "But he’s clearly not good, why don’t you tell uncle and aunt?"

"I want to, but I’m just a spirit. They can’t hear or see me."

Han Qiaoqi smiled bitterly, "I can only watch him act in front of my parents, watch them trust him more and more..."

And Zhou Zifu’s purpose in all this, Han Qiaoqi saw clearly, he coveted the Han family estate.

"I’m the only daughter in my family. After I passed, my parents aged; the orchard and business would need someone to take over sooner or later."

Han Qiaoqi’s gaze turned cold, "He knew this well and took advantage of my parents’ grief from losing their daughter, desperately trying to win their favor, hoping they’d entrust him with the family assets."

"He even suggested to my parents that he would recognize them as godparents in a couple of years and take care of them in their old age."

Han Qiaoqi gritted her teeth, "My parents even considered it, thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea, at least someone would care for them in their old age..."

"Well, that’s quite wicked."

Dou Dou tilted her little head, feeling this person redefined her understanding of bad people.

Xiao Yue also felt angry for Han Qiaoqi, "How can there be such wicked people in the world?"

Han Qiaoqi’s voice overflowed with despair and plea, "I’m not afraid of dying, but I can’t accept my parents being deceived like this, treating the enemy as family. I can’t accept my family’s belongings being seized by such a hypocritical person; I can’t accept that he thrives on the merit of killing me, while I can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything."

She looked at Xiao Yue and Dou Dou, her eyes full of hope, "I know I’m being greedy, but I really have no other choice. Can you please help me make my parents see his true face? Can you make sure he pays the price for what he’s done?"

The wind blew from the Dragon King Temple, carrying the scent of incense.

Han Qiaoqi’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and defiance, those feelings kept her stalling in the Mortal World.

Dou Dou immediately patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry, big sister, I’ll take you to see Potato now. He will definitely help you for my sake."

Beside her, Xiao Yue couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "What sake do you have?"

Han Qiaoqi also found it amusing, breaking the somewhat tense atmosphere instantly.

"Of course I have, my adorable sake. Potato will definitely agree to help you." Dou Dou said earnestly.

Both Han Qiaoqi and Xiao Yue were amused again.

After the laughter, Xiao Yue said, "Dou Dou is right about one thing, brother will definitely help you; later, you can go back with us."

Seeing Xiao Yue speaking so seriously, Han Qiaoqi found it credible, tears rolled down her cheeks, "Thank you... Thank you so much, as long as my parents are not deceived, even if I vanish, I’d be willing."

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou opened her arms and swayed side to side like a little penguin, "No, no, only bad guys should vanish, big sister you are a good person, Potato will protect you."

"Thank you, but who exactly is this Potato you’ve been mentioning?" Han Qiaoqi asked curiously.

"Potato is just Potato, he’s really awesome, he’s the boss, and I’m working for him." Dou Dou said.

"You work at such a young age? Isn’t that exploiting child labor?" Han Qiaoqi laughed.

As she interacted with the two little ones, her initial tension and caution gradually relaxed.

"Child labor?" Dou Dou scratched her head, seeming to have heard it somewhere but couldn’t recall.

Oh well, if she couldn’t remember, she wouldn’t think about it.

"Ah~, I am child labor." She said gleefully.

Then she covered her mouth with surprise, looking nervously at Xiao Yue, "I became Tang Tang."

Xiao Yue said with amusement, "You caught her bug."

"Caught a bug?" Dou Dou looked confused, not quite understanding the meaning.

"She passed the sugar to me, so am I now Tangdou? Bean sugar works too..."

She said while foolishly giggling to herself.

Looking at her silly yet adorably daft appearance, both Xiao Yue and Han Qiaoqi shared a knowing smile.

Especially Han Qiaoqi, she suddenly understood why Potato, mentioned by Dou Dou, would employ "child labor."

This little thing, even if she can’t work, is pleasant to watch.
