Ch 23: Haunted By A Little Ghost
Gu Yun, upon seeing Zhang Buran again, adopted a pressing and aggressive attitude.
Zhang Buran, however, directly ignored him, proceeding towards Wen Chuhan’s hospital room.
Gu Yun frowned.
Already irritated by Wen Chuhan’s severe headache and suffering,
Gu Yun had to pretend to be a patient Big Brother in front of Wen Chuhan, which further exacerbated his impatience.
Now, this Waste, Zhang Buran, dared to ignore him?
Gu Yun extinguished his cigarette, his anger rising as he chased after him.
“Zhang Buran, I’m talking to you! Chuhan is in a bad state right now, you Waste, and you’re still bothering her!”
“We haven’t divorced yet, so your White Moonlight is in such a hurry to become a Mistress?”
Zhang Buran retorted angrily.
Gu Yun was immediately enraged by Zhang Buran’s words.
As the Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, Gu Yun was always surrounded by admirers wherever he went!
Now, to be called a Mistress by a Waste son-in-law of the Wen Family was infuriating!
“Zhang Buran, you dare say that again!”
“Idiot.”
Zhang Buran didn’t even give Gu Yun a glance.
This further fueled Gu Yun’s rage, and he raised his arm to slap him.
“Zzz——”
However, Gu Yun seemed to be electrocuted by something; his arm felt numb, and he quickly retracted his hand.
Gu Yun looked at his trembling hand as if he had seen a ghost.
Zhang Buran had used a minimal amount of the Thunder Method for self-protection; the electric arc was extremely fast, practically invisible to the naked eye.
“You…”
Gu Yun thought it was an illusion and pointed at Zhang Buran again.
This time, however, the current traveled down Gu Yun’s arm into his entire body, instantly numbing him.
Gu Yun fell to the ground with a “thud,” convulsing like he was having an epileptic seizure.
“Doctor! Someone here is having an epileptic seizure.”
Zhang Buran told a passing Nurse.
“Oh! Emergency aid immediately!”
…
Finally, peace and quiet.
With some apprehension, Zhang Buran entered Wen Chuhan’s hospital room.
Outside the room, two tall Gu Family bodyguards stood; recognizing Zhang Buran as the son-in-law, they allowed him to enter.
Inside the room, Ouyang Hong and Wen Churou were by Wen Chuhan’s bedside.
Wen Chuhan was asleep in the bed.
However, her furrowed brows and dark circles revealed that her sleep wasn’t restful.
Of course, her sleep wasn’t good.
Little Ghost possession; how could she sleep well?
The moment Zhang Buran entered the room, he saw various Little Ghosts surrounding Wen Chuhan.
Mostly Thought Ghosts.
These Little Ghosts, with their semi-transparent bodies or withered arms, clung tightly to Wen Chuhan.
No wonder she couldn’t sleep well.
Hospitals are places where many Ghosts gather.
Many people who died suddenly or unexpectedly are unwilling to leave, their souls remaining in the world, forming Thought Ghosts.
Although Ordinary Little Ghosts don’t cause much harm to humans,
the number of Little Ghosts clinging to Wen Chuhan, even without counting, was at least a dozen.
If a single Little Ghost clings to a person, those with weak Yang Qi will experience nightmares and insomnia, leading to lethargy, lower back pain and aching.
This is what’s known as Little Ghost possession.
Little Ghosts are common, seen everywhere on the street, but so many clinging to one person…
is rare.
Actually, at first glance, Zhang Buran saw that Wen Chuhan had an extremely special destiny.
Wen Chuhan and Wen Churou, the sisters, seemed to have been cursed.
Before they came of age, a force suppressed the curse’s effects.
Zhang Buran was very familiar with the force suppressing the curse—it was his Grandfather’s Magic.
After they came of age, the curse on Wen Chuhan and Wen Churou would begin to manifest, attracting Little Ghosts.
When Zhang Buran approached the Wen Family with a Marriage Contract, Wen Churou was 16 and not yet of age, while Wen Chuhan was 20 and already an adult.
Wen Churou was unharmed, but Wen Chuhan was plagued by Little Ghosts and frequent nightmares.
However, Zhang Buran had an extremely strong destiny and abundant Yang Qi; even without his Magical Power, ordinary Little Ghosts dared not approach him.
So after Zhang Buran arrived, the Little Ghosts clinging to Wen Chuhan were dispersed.
Wen Chuhan and Wen Churou had been safe for the past three years.
Zhang Buran had expected Wen Chuhan to be plagued by Little Ghosts after his departure,
but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, and in such a terrifying number.
“Zhang Buran? You Waste, what are you doing here again?”
Ouyang Hong’s face quickly showed displeasure upon seeing Zhang Buran.
“Mom, don’t worry, I called him. Zhang Buran often gave Sister massages before, maybe he can relieve her headache…”
said the weary Wen Churou.
Obviously, Wen Churou was also afflicted by Little Ghosts.
However, because Wen Churou was not sick and had stronger Yang Qi, only three Little Ghosts clung to her.
For the past two days, Wen Churou had also inexplicably been unable to sleep well.
“Him? What can that Waste do? He can massage? I bet he learned it online!”
Ouyang Hong snorted disdainfully, rolling her eyes at Zhang Buran: “Don’t cause trouble. After Chuhan is discharged, you and this Waste will divorce. I don’t want to see you! Get out!”
Ouyang Hong pointed at Zhang Buran, acting bossy.
“Mom… let him try?” Wen Churou pleaded, holding Ouyang Hong’s arm.
After all, it was Wen Churou who had called Zhang Buran.
To summon someone and then tell them to leave was a bit…
Wen Chuhan also felt a little embarrassed.
“Oh, Churou, you’re a grown woman, why are you so clueless! He’s just a Waste, what kind of massage can he give?”
“I’ve already booked the best massage expert in Magic City to massage your sister.”
Ouyang Hong said to Wen Churou, then looked at Zhang Buran with his hands in his pockets, her disdain unconcealed:
“As for you, humph, don’t get in the way!”
“Heh.” Zhang Buran chuckled.
“What a motherly and filial scene. Wen Churou, so you were playing me?”
Even a clay figure has three points of fire.
He had come with good intentions, only to be told to leave.
Zhang Buran was slightly annoyed.
Wen Churou was embarrassed and about to explain when Ouyang Hong yelled at Zhang Buran:
“You Waste, what are you doing here causing trouble!”
“Chuhan is sick in bed, what can you do!”
“Bodyguards, get him out, don’t let him bother me! And don’t let this man in again!”
Outside the door, two nearly two-meter-tall bodyguards came in, glaring at Zhang Buran.
“Hahaha, fine! I’m leaving! I’m gone, don’t regret it!”
Zhang Buran turned and left without emotion.
Next time, if they wanted to ask Zhang Buran for help, he wouldn’t be so considerate.
“Tch, just a Waste, thinking he’s so capable, pretending.”
Ouyang Hong said viciously.
“Wait!” A man’s voice came.
The two bodyguards saw the man who came in, paused slightly, and then greeted him respectfully: “Family Head.”
The man who walked in was Wen Tianqing.
