Chapter 137 Ma Xiaoling

"Zhenzhen, please persuade your mother. The Sun God Church is a scam. It's better to let Aunt Jiajia go to church and believe in Jesus than to believe in this!"

Hooking Ma Xiaoling's arm, Zhenzhen said helplessly: "Xiaoling, you know that even though my mother looks so fashionable, she is very superstitious!"

"Don't talk about her, I will try to persuade her!" Zhenzhen stopped and pulled Ma Xiaoling: "But Xiaoling, you haven't told me yet, why did you open a cleaning company after returning from studying abroad?"

"Also, what are you wearing now? You've really changed a lot!" Zhenzhen raised her glasses and looked at Ma Xiaoling, who was wearing a short skirt and short boots, revealing a pair of long legs.

Ma Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and hugged Zhenzhen with a smile: "Teacher Zhenzhen, please don't treat me as a student and try to educate me! Just send me here, and I will come to your house tomorrow to eat."

Zhenzhen looked at Ma Xiaoling reluctantly: "You just came back yesterday. We haven't seen each other for so long. Why don't you stay at my house today? I still have a lot to say to you."

"I also have a lot to say to you, Zhenzhen, but I have something else to deal with tonight. I'll chat with you and Aunt Jiajia tomorrow." Ma Xiaoling patted Zhenzhen lovingly, "Okay, don't be unhappy. You've already sent me downstairs, so go back."

Zhenzhen sighed: "Okay then, Xiaoling, remember to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I will prepare a lot of your favorite dishes after I get off work."

"Yeah, Zhenzhen, you're the best."

Ma Xiaoling watched Zhenzhen reluctantly walk into Jiajia Building, raised her wrist to check the time: "Oh no, it's already nine o'clock! I have to hurry back."

She stretched out her long legs and hailed a taxi on the road. Looking through the window at the sign of Jiajia Building, Ma Xiaoling still felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, in the Kowloon Villa

Zheng Wenjie looked at the table full of dishes, holding up his chopsticks but not knowing how to start eating. Tang Xue kept looking at him with resentful eyes, so Zheng Wenjie put down his chopsticks helplessly:
"Xiaoxue, if you have anything on your mind, just say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart. Also, can you be a little more normal? The look in your eyes makes me feel scared."

"Is it useful to say it out? You have already brought the person home!" Tang Xue's resentful eyes swept past Zheng Wenjie and looked at Meiyue who was sitting opposite her.

Miyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and she said with a bit of bitterness and grievance: "Father didn't tell me that you not only have a wife but also a daughter!"

"Who is his daughter? If he goes to Japan, he will bring back a daughter. If he travels around for a while."

Tang Xue couldn't help but snorted and continued, "Then I will congratulate Mr. Zheng Wenjie on having many children and grandchildren!"

Gong Ruomei, who was quietly picking food for Zheng Wenjie, couldn't help but hit Tang Xue's wrist with her chopsticks at this time: "Don't talk like that, since you have already acknowledged the relationship of foster father and foster daughter, you should treat her as your sister."

"Sister... I can be her grandmother at my age." Tang Xue said as she looked at the rich dishes on the table. She was even more annoyed when Gong Ruomei even put some food into Meiyue's bowl.

"Miyue, right? Do you know what we eat every day in this house?"

Miyue looked at the dishes on the table in confusion, thought about it seriously, pointed to a plate of dumplings and asked, "Is this it?"

"Don't listen to her, eat quickly! Have a good rest after dinner, and see you tomorrow..." Gong Ruomei was in a trance when she said this, and finally smiled and looked at Zheng Wenjie and said
"I was thinking of having a proper ceremony, but now we don't even know who to invite as witnesses."

Zheng Wenjie reached out and held Gong Ruomei's hand, laughing out loud, "We are all so old now, let's not talk about red tape. Since we have adopted her as our adopted daughter, it doesn't matter whether we hold a recognition ceremony or not."

Gong Ruomei smiled and held Zheng Wenjie's hand with her backhand: "But I was still surprised when you told me that you adopted a daughter in Japan. Can you take on this responsibility like a child?"

Zheng Wenjie said speechlessly: "You are talking about Tang Xue, right? Xiaoxue, you are so old, and you said you can be Meiyue's grandmother, but you are still so angry. When will you grow up?"

Tang Xue was so angry that she laughed. She shook her wrist and a blood talisman appeared in her hand: "Look carefully, we have to drink this every day in our house. Can you bear it?"

The blood symbol glowed red, and drops of blood oozed out and fell into the snow-white porcelain bowl. A bowl of blood, still emitting hot steam, was placed on the table.

"My young lady knew that Mr. Zheng Wenjie was going home today, so she started preparing this delicious meal from noon."

"But normally, we only drink this. Do you know what it is?"

Gong Ruomei couldn't help but look at Zheng Wenjie. Zheng Wenjie understood what Gong Ruomei meant and shook his head slightly, indicating that Meiyue didn't know that she was a zombie.

"Okay, Xiaoxue." Gong Ruomei stopped her, looked at Meiyue and smiled, "She just has a childish temper, she will be fine in a couple of days, eat your food quickly."

"You'll know it sooner or later, there's no need to hide it. Miyue, we are no longer human beings. We are zombies that can only survive by sucking blood." Zheng Wenjie said directly.

Miyue was not surprised, she just nodded and pointed at the bowl of blood and asked, "So the blood flowing out of this jade talisman is real human blood? It's amazing, can I have a taste?"

"Aren't you afraid? This is human blood!" Tang Xue asked in confusion.

Miyue tilted her head and smiled, "I thought my father was a big monster from the mainland who wanted to eat people, but I didn't expect he only drank blood. Besides, my father is so kind, why should I be afraid? If my father would eat me, I would probably be very happy, so that I can become one with him."

Gong Ruomei couldn't help but frown and glanced at Zheng Wenjie after hearing this. She decided to go back to her room at night and have a good talk with him about the issue of educating children.

Tang Xue looked at him in shock: "You...I'll take you to see a doctor tomorrow!"

"Alright!" Zheng Wenjie interrupted their conversation unhappily and tapped Meiyue's forehead with chopsticks in the same way: "You should also stop pretending. If you are afraid, then you are afraid. But since you have recognized me as your godfather, I will not hurt you."

Miyue rubbed her forehead and smiled, nodding slightly without refutation, but she thought in her heart that what she said was obviously serious.

Tang Xue looked at the three people in front of her helplessly. At first glance, they really looked like a family of three, if you ignored the young faces of Zheng Wenjie and Gong Ruomei.

After drinking the blood in one breath, Tang Xue slapped the table and said unhappily: "I heard that the office building of the subsidiary company downstairs is haunted. I'm going to check it out. No need to wait for me to come back!"

"Don't be impulsive, be careful." Gong Ruomei said as she looked sideways at Tang Xue's back as she left the restaurant.

"What's the situation now? Why did you become the president of the group?" Zheng Wenjie asked while eating.

Gong Ruomei rubbed her brows with a headache and said, "Zhao Lei died before the foundation of Tongtian Pavilion was laid. They supported Liu Lingzhi to be the president. I thought she was Sanjiangshui's adopted daughter after all, so I agreed."

"As a result, within a few months, there was a stock market crash and a subsidiary was in debt. The group was in a mess. Liu Lingzhi couldn't bear the pressure and resigned on her own initiative."

Gong Ruomei was talking halfway when she saw Zheng Wenjie put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but say, "Eat more of the three fresh vegetables. This was my favorite food when I was a child. When I can eat food like you, I will eat it every day." Zheng Wenjie suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he still put on a smile and picked up a large chopstick and put it into the bowl.

Gong Ruomei continued, "I couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, and Xiaoxue said that I would stay at home after you left, so she advised me to take charge of the group directly."

Zheng Wenjie understood: "Are you tired? If you don't want to, I will find a few more candidates. You just stay with me."

Gong Ruomei shook her head and smiled, "This is actually quite good. The feeling of being in charge of the group is very different from before. Besides, Xiaoxue is developing the Sun God Cult for you now. If you leave for something again, I will really be left alone at home."

Gong Ruomei looked at Meiyue again: "After Meiyue goes to school, she will spend less time at home."

Miyuki didn't know how to describe the feeling that Gong Ruomei gave her. She was very similar to Makoto's sister, but also completely different. Although she had no expression most of the time, she made her feel warm when she smiled, and it seemed that she wanted to get close to her in her words and deeds.

Zheng Wenjie hummed and laughed, "Then it will be my turn to stay at home every day and wait for you to come home."

Gong Ruomei laughed and said, "You are busy. You don't even know what Tang Xue has done to your Sun God Cult. Don't get angry when the time comes, and don't blame Xiaoxue."

Zheng Wenjie was stunned, put down his chopsticks and looked at Gong Ruomei. After thinking for a while, he asked in an uncertain tone: "It can't be related to money, right? Did Xiaoxue take the money?"

Gong Ruomei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue's greedy nature has not changed at all. Her basement is almost filled with gold."

Tang Xue changed her clothes, put on sunglasses that covered most of her face, picked a coupe at random, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the villa.

...

Ma Xiaoling hurried back home, picked up the exorcism box that she had packed in advance and prepared to leave, but turned back just as she reached the door.

Looking at the aunt in the picture frame on the wall who looked very much like herself, Ma Xiaoling took three incense sticks and turned them with both hands, inserting the incense sticks with curling smoke into the incense burner:
"Aunt, I'm going to make money, please bless me."

After that, she picked up the exorcism box and left home. After closing the door, she saw a lighted signboard. Ma Xiaoling smiled with satisfaction at the big words "Ling Ling Tang Cleaning Company".

Rushing all the way to the building the customer mentioned, Ma Xiaoling checked the time and smiled slightly: "Very good, it's not yet twelve o'clock."

As soon as I entered the building, I was stopped by the security guard on duty: "Miss, what do you want to do in our company so late?"

"Didn't your boss ask me to come? I'm from the cleaning company."

The security guard was stunned for a moment and said, "I received news that a master will come to catch ghosts tonight. Cleaning company? Is that you?"

"What? Don't I look like it? I heard it's very dirty here." Ma Xiaoling looked up at the surrounding layout and said this before walking past the security guard.

The security guard followed Ma Xiaoling and apologized, then continued, "Yes, yes, it's on the third floor. He used to be the manager of our company. He's a very lewd person. Almost all the female employees in the company have been harassed by him."

"If he didn't have a relative who was a senior executive at the group's headquarters, he would have been reported long ago."

"Group?" Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before she saw the Sun logo and the four big words "Sun Pictures" facing the first floor.

"This Sun Group? When did it emerge? How come I have never heard of it?"

"Miss, have you been away from Hong Kong for a few years and just returned recently?" The security guard continued, "The Sun Group is the Yongsheng Group. It has had two presidents in the past few years and even changed its name."

As soon as Ma Xiaoling heard about Yongsheng Group, she understood. After all, Aunt Jiajia had told her that Zhenzhen's grandfather seemed to be following the big boss behind the Yongsheng Group. That's why Zhenzhen's grandfather left behind so much property after his accidental death. It was also because of the protection of Yongsheng Group that Aunt Jiajia was able to keep this inheritance intact.

The Jiajia Building, which Zhenzhen's grandfather named after his daughter, is enough for Zhenzhen to spend for a lifetime. Zhenzhen's grandfather seems to be called Lin Liangchun.

Ma Xiaoling thought about this and spoke confidently: "Since it is Yongsheng Group, I will definitely satisfy you when I catch ghosts this time. I guarantee that the reward is worth your money!"

"Miss, you must not be careless! The manager died in the locker room on the third floor. It seems that he had a heart attack because he was peeping at the female employees."

"After turning into a ghost, he was very obscene, causing many female employees to be afraid to come to work."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I can go up by myself, you don't have to follow me."

The security guard didn't even think about following up. He pointed at the elevator awkwardly and wanted to go back to the duty room.

Outside the building, there was a roar of an engine, followed by a sharp brake sound. The friction between the tires and the ground produced bursts of smoke and a strong smell of rubber.

Ma Xiaoling turned her head and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lobby on the first floor at the coupe parked at the door. A woman wearing sunglasses and sportswear got out of the car and walked straight into the lobby.

Ma Xiaoling looked at the coupe outside with envy. This car was a newly released 97 model electric eye and it was priced at over one million.

The security guards came over quickly. Tang Xue took off her sunglasses and said without saying anything to the security guards, "I'm the president's secretary, Tang Xue. My car is outside and you can find it by checking."

"I heard there's a problem here, so I came to check it out. Don't worry about me, just go and do your thing."

The security guard swallowed, turned his head to look at Ma Xiaoling and then at Tang Xue, and finally said weakly: "Secretary Tang, that person was invited by our general manager to clean up some dirty things. Why don't you wait here for a while, I will notify the general manager to return to the company immediately."

Tang Xue looked at Ma Xiaoling, who was wearing a short skirt and short boots and carrying a red box. "Isn't the company haunted? Cleaning up the dirt, does this woman look like she can catch ghosts? She can't handle the company's affairs well, and now she's looking for a liar. Let her leave!"

Tang Xue looked at the security guard and continued, "There's no need to ask your general manager to come over. Ask him to go directly to the group headquarters tomorrow. If it weren't for this haunted incident, the group wouldn't know that your deputy manager who turned into a ghost is a scumbag."

"Miss!" Upon hearing Tang Xue say that she looked like a liar, Ma Xiaoling came over unhappily and stood in front of Tang Xue, who was slightly shorter than her, and said, "I have already received the reward, so there is no way I will leave. As for whether I am a liar or not, you will know in a moment."

Tang Xue looked at Ma Xiaoling with disdain: "Then return all the rewards and leave immediately!"

Tang Xue's eyes made Ma Xiaoling a little annoyed: "I won't return the reward I received. I will leave by myself after I catch the ghost!"

Ma Xiaoling turned around and was about to walk towards the elevator, but then she stopped and turned back to look at Tang Xue and said, "I still haven't received half of the reward. If you dare to refuse my reward, I will make you pay!" (End of this chapter)
