Chapter 13 A guilty conscience

"What are you doing in such a panic? Do you know the deceased? Or have you done something shameful?" Shi Jian noticed that Shi Rui's expression changed after seeing the news, and her expression was very strange.

Shi Rui was not as panicked and fearful as Tong Ruixin, but her eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look directly at the parents of the deceased on the TV. Her hands on her knees were unconsciously clasped and rubbed together, her expression

Somewhat unnatural whitening.

Thinking of her relationship with Tong Ruixin, Shi Jian's heart moved and she spoke abruptly with a hint of questioning.

Shi Rui seemed to be startled. She raised her head and glared at Shi Jian, and retorted in a sharp voice: "Xiao Jian, what are you talking about! Even if you are dissatisfied with me, you can't say such nonsense!"

Gu Danqiu was also shocked and couldn't understand why her daughter was so good and turned against Rui'er.

but……

"Rui'er, do you know this poor girl? Is she from your classmate's family?"

This is not impossible.

Although Ruier went to a private high school and the tuition was expensive, the school admitted students with excellent grades every year.

This type of students are generally students from ordinary families who cannot afford expensive tuition fees, but they have excellent results.

Maybe the deceased was a relative of one of Rui'er's classmates.

Shi Rui's complexion changed slightly again.

"What can't you say if you don't have a bad conscience? I found that you and Miss Tong are both very strange. They dodge whenever this matter is mentioned, with a guilty look on their faces, which makes me suspicious."

"You have seen the news. Now the matter has become a big deal. It is easy to find out with just one investigation. It is better to make it clear earlier and think of a solution!"

Gu Danqiu didn't believe it at first, but now when she saw her adopted daughter's expression, her heart suddenly thumped!

"Ruier, you..."

"Mom, I really don't!" Shi Rui said anxiously, "Jian doesn't know who I am, but don't you also know, Mom? I am the daughter you have raised for more than ten years!"

Did Shi Jian mean what he said?

Seeing her acting aggrieved again, Shi Jian almost wanted to roll her eyes, "Come on, don't look like I'm bullying you. Why don't you just ask if you know the deceased and if you've done anything like this before?"

Look like I'm forcing you to admit the crime. If it's really all right, is it so difficult for you to answer properly?"

She wanted to see how long Shi Rui and Tong Ruixin could hold out!

Shi Jian got up and went upstairs. Shi Rui's face turned red and blue, and she was so angry that she shed tears in the end.

"Mom, you have also seen that since little Jane came back, I think I have given in everywhere because I know that I am not qualified to fight with her, and I should not fight with her. I also want to get along well with her and be filial to you and dad together.

But...she just doesn't like me at all, and she always criticizes me for whatever I do...Rui Xin left angrily today, and I don't know what she did..."

"Mom, tell me, what should I do? Otherwise, I'd better move out. Although I'm not an adult yet, I think I can support myself... You have raised me for so many years and you have treated me so well.

It’s a great favor, I can’t ask for anything more…”

Shi Rui seemed to want to vent out the panic, worry, grievances and dissatisfaction that had been accumulated in her heart during this period, covering her face and crying sadly.

Gu Danqiu looked heartbroken.

The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. Xiao Jian was her biological child, so of course it hurt her. But Rui'er had been raising her by her side for more than ten years, and even though she wasn't her biological child, she was still the same!

She is not that confused. She really hopes that Xiao Jian and Rui'er will love each other, as long as they live in peace. And Xiao Jian also said that she doesn't mind them keeping Rui'er... But Xiao Jian's mouth is indeed... this

The child speaks too directly and doesn't know how to be tactful.

Her family can definitely tolerate her at home, but what about outside?

After thinking about it, Gu Danqiu's mind went astray!

Shi Rui cried a lot but did not hear any comfort for a long time. She choked up and looked up slightly, feeling even more aggrieved.

Mom is actually distracted at this time!

She was really sad now!

When Shi Jian returned to her room, she immediately noticed something strange.

She waved her hand to set up a barrier and said, "Come out!"

After a while, a vague figure floated out tremblingly. When Shi Jian glanced over, the figure immediately shrank into a corner.

Shi Jian: "..."

He has become a ghost, and he is still so timid. No wonder he is bullied by a few little kids.

Then she became deeply suspicious.

For such a timid, even cowardly person, she would not be any better if she became a ghost. What could she do?

Also, was it really her resentment that triggered the opportunity?

She expressed deep doubts.

"How did you find this place? If you don't say anything, I'll kick you out!"

The erratic figure was frightened and said quickly: "I...I, I am Xu Jingru...I...I fell to my death in the shopping mall a few days ago..."

Speaking of this, her voice dropped.

It took her some time to accept the fact that she was dead.

She couldn't believe it but had to accept it. When she fell from the mall that day, she guessed that she would definitely not survive. Even if she didn't die, she would probably be seriously injured and lying in the hospital. Her family would definitely not be able to afford this huge

of medical expenses.

It would be better to die.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to feel grateful or resentful.

"Hmm, so what? What do you want to do, take revenge?"

Xu Jingru was stunned for a moment, "Revenge? Can I still take revenge?"

Shi Jian: "..."

"If you don't want revenge, why are you looking for me? If you didn't want revenge, you wouldn't stay in this world."

"I...I can't let go of my parents..."

"But your parents believe you have seen it. You are their only daughter, and if you die like this, they will not let it go."

It seems that there is still a fight to the death.

Xu Jingru was silent for a long time before murmuring in a low voice: "They can't fight those people..." Listening carefully, the voice was still a little trembling.

Shi Jian seemed to understand somewhat.

It's not that Xu Jingru doesn't hate, complain, or want revenge, but she has been bullied for too long, and the impact those people had on her has been deeply imprinted on her soul, even if she has become a ghost now.

Generally speaking, people are afraid of ghosts, but she was actually afraid of people.

This also reflects from the side that she must have deeply experienced the oppression brought by power.

"Can you help me? I, I know you are different, you can definitely help me, right?" Xu Jingru suddenly raised her head and looked at her pleadingly.

She didn't know who the girl in front of her was and why she could see herself. But since she could see herself and not panic at all, she must be special!

Moreover, she felt that something was pulling her to find this girl!

So she can definitely help her, right?
