Chapter 397: Suffering for Others

Chapter 397

Gao Min and the others were frightened by Ye Wanxi's words, and it took them a while to react.

"Impossible! Xiao Lian is not that kind of person. She doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could she risk her life? There must be something wrong!"

"Yes, I watched Xiaolian grow up. She is definitely a good child. I can guarantee this."

Gao Qiang and Qi Xiaolian are children from the same district. Because of the same age, the two families are close to each other, and they have played together since childhood. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts.

Gao Qiang and his elder sister are much older. When they were young, Gao Min was the elder sister who basically took care of them. The two children often played together, so Gao Min simply took care of them together.

Therefore, in Gao Min's heart, the status of Qi Xiaolian, the future younger sibling, is no lower than that of her younger brother.

The two are studying at the same school and have just graduated this year.

Not long before Qi Xiaolian's accident, the two families were happily discussing their marriage, and Gao Qiang was very happy to tell Gao Min about it, asking her to spare time to attend their wedding.

Who would have thought that such a terrifying thing would grow on Qi Xiaolian's body after a short time.

Qi Xiaolian was a little slow to react, and when the two siblings had finished expressing their views, she thought of defending herself in a daze.

"I... I haven't hurt anyone, I can swear, I've never hurt anyone, I haven't hurt anyone."

Qi Xiaolian just said this over and over again, and at the end she was so wronged that she almost burst into tears.

She knew that she should say a few more words at this time to make people believe in herself, but her mind went blank now, and she didn't know how to prove herself, because she really didn't hurt anyone!

Ye Wanxi didn't expect to be interrupted by someone in the middle of her speech, but this person was crying again, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

Is this girl made of water? Tears come as they say.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I know you haven't hurt anyone."

Qi Xiaolian sniffed, feeling even more aggrieved, hiccupping and saying: "Since I didn't harm anyone, why did I grow this thing?"

Gao Qiang and Gao Min obviously thought of this, and looked at Ye Wanxi questioningly.

"Because you are suffering for others."

"Suppose for others?" Gao Min almost jumped up in a hurry, "Suppose for whom?"

"You have to ask her. Her situation is not the same as that of the Xiao family before. The person who finds her to scapegoat should be someone who is very close to her. In other words, it is not a relative or someone who is very close to her. But , In her current situation, I am more inclined to relatives, or relatives with closer blood relationship."

"relative?"

"Which relative have you had physical contact with recently? Or, have you taken anything from others?"

Qi Xiaolian froze, frowned and began to think.

The hearts of Gao Min and the others also rose, and they couldn't help but said, "Think about it carefully, who praised you or gave you something before this thing appeared on your body."

"Yes, yes, if you think about it again, it should be only recently. Think about it, you must still remember."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Qi Xiaolian suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!"

"I remembered?"

"I remember." Qi Xiaolian grasped her arms subconsciously, and said cautiously, "About ten days ago, my uncle suddenly drove my cousin home to visit relatives, and gave us all presents."

"Your uncle?" Gao Min's expression was delicate, "Didn't your uncle claim to be from the city, and always look down on you poor relatives, and don't have much contact with you during the Chinese New Year? Why did you suddenly change your gender? Come back every year and every festival , and bring you gifts."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Find someone to take the place of the dead ghost, so why don't you shed some blood first?"

As soon as Ye Wanxi said this, everyone felt a chill behind them, especially Qi Xiaolian.

Because he finally saw a glimmer of life, his face was a little more bloody, but now it completely faded away.

"What gift did they give you?"

"It's just tea and some alcohol and tobacco." Qi Xiaolian tugged at her collar nervously when she said this,

"The lady in the lobby also gave me a skirt and a necklace separately. She said she knew that Brother Qiang and I had started talking about marriage, so she couldn't help but buy something special for me."

Gao Min's expression changed again when she heard this. It's not that she has never seen Qi Xiaolian, the first cousin, but in her impression she is as bitter and mean as her parents, who is spoiled by her family and has eyes on top of her head.

Qi Xiaolian was bullied by her several times when she was young, Gao Min would not believe that she suddenly changed her temperament when she grew up, and knew how to love her sister.

"Have you ever worn the skirt necklace she gave you?"

"Have."

"when?"

Qi Xiaolian thought for a while, then froze suddenly.

Gao Qiang was the closest to her, and instantly noticed her strangeness: "What's wrong?"

"That skirt, the first time I wore it was the day when this thing grew out."

As soon as Qi Xiaolian said this, the expressions of the siblings changed again. They were almost certain that the person who passed the injury on to Qi Xiaolian was her cousin!

"Where is the necklace? It was the first time I wore it that day?"

"No, she helped me put the necklace on on the day she gave it to me."

Helped you put it on yourself? Ye Wanxi squinted her eyes. Since she was wearing the necklace with her own hands, it was indeed normal for physical contact to occur during the wearing process.

"After that day, have you touched these two things?"

Qi Xiaolian shook her head, then nodded again: "I haven't worn the skirt again, and I've been wearing the necklace all the time."

Qi Xiaolian's eyes widened when she mentioned this fright, and she didn't dare to move.

The others also realized that the thing that the woman gave her is still hanging around her neck, right next to her and them!

Ye Wanxi was intrigued to hear her say that, because she didn't see any evil spirit from Qi Xiaolian's necklace.

"Wanxi, we now..."

"Don't move, I'm coming."

After she said that, the two of them naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Gao Qiang consciously stepped aside, allowing Ye Wanxi to sit next to Qi Xiaolian.

Just as the fingertips were about to touch the necklace, something popped and tried to bounce it away.

It was only then that Ye Wanxi realized that there was a small barrier placed on this unremarkable necklace, in order to prevent someone from taking this necklace from Qi Xiaolian's neck.

If it were someone else, such as the sorceress that Gao Qiang and the others just mentioned, maybe they really couldn't do anything with this thing.

Unfortunately, it met Ye Wanxi.

She wasn't even interested in studying what it was, so she directly used the most primitive and crude method, smashing the eye of the barrier with a finger, and then yanked the necklace down forcefully.

With a click, the necklace broke.

The Yin Qi locked inside also rushed out, permeating the entire living room.
