The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 14 The Spirit Child

"Oh, so you're a kind and beautiful person. You should go to the police for this. No one has lost a child here because there are no children here. Everyone here is an elderly person who has been retired for a long time. Their children are all away. It's impossible for them to have children."

After hearing Chu Xinglan's explanation, the old man cleared up his misunderstanding of her.

Chu Xinglan knew that even the old gatekeeper wouldn't know where the little baby came from, so she had no choice but to go back. As she was thinking about whether to call the police and let them handle it, Shu Weiting suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

"Lanlan, where are the criminals?"

To make it easier for Shu Weiting to come and go, Chu Xinglan also gave Shu Weiting a key. When Shu Weiting pushed the door open, she only saw Chu Xinglan, so she asked curiously.

"It was a false alarm, a misunderstanding. There were no criminals." Chu Xinglan waved her hands repeatedly.

She was so focused on finding the baby's parents that she forgot about this matter; otherwise, she would have called Shu Weiting to tell her not to come.

"Luckily, I was worried that the thugs would hurt you, so I didn't call the police, otherwise I would definitely have been scolded by the police." Shu Weiting breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chu Xinglan say this.

"Tingting, you're the best! You knew I was in danger, yet you still came to rescue me so late!" Chu Xinglan hugged Shu Weiting, deeply moved.

"Stop being so mushy." Shu Weiting quickly pushed her away. "By the way, what exactly happened? Why did you think there was a thief? You mean this neighborhood can't be so completely unsafe, right? We just moved in and there's already a thief?"

"A child has come into my house," Chu Xinglan said seriously.

"A child?" Shu Weiting thought she had misheard. "You really mean a child?"

"Come with me." Chu Xinglan led Shu Weiting into her bedroom and pointed to the baby on the bed, saying, "Look, she's already asleep."

Shu Weiting glanced at the bed, then stared at Chu Xinglan in surprise. She remained silent for a long time, only touching Chu Xinglan's forehead with her hand.

Are you running a fever?

"I'm perfectly fine, how could I have a fever?" Chu Xinglan was puzzled as to why Shu Weiting thought she had a fever.

"You don't have a fever, and you're not sick, so why would you suddenly have hallucinations? Saying there's a child in bed? Lanlan, have you been feeling unwell lately?" Shu Weiting suspected that Chu Xinglan had suffered some kind of shock and suddenly lost her mind. Otherwise, why would she have moved out in such a hurry, then said that a thief had broken in in the middle of the night, and now say that there's a child in the house?

"Isn't this little baby on the bed? Didn't you see him?" Chu Xinglan asked in surprise.

Then she looked at the sleeping baby on the bed, then at her best friend, and suddenly seemed to notice something.

"Tingting, can't you really see this little guy?" She gently patted the baby's pretty little face.

"Lanlan, don't scare me. What happened to you? Tell me quickly, so I can help you get back to normal." Shu Weiting pulled Chu Xinglan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and shook her vigorously.

Chu Xinglan was shaken so badly by her that she quickly slapped Shu Weiting's hand away.

"I'm perfectly fine, don't worry. I was just joking, I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

Chu Xinglan is now certain that Shu Weiting really can't see the baby.

This world is full of wonders. She can be reborn, so it's only natural that a spirit child that no one else can see would appear. However, what makes Chu Xinglan curious is the identity of this spirit child and why he is by her side.

Although Shu Weiting, who was beside her, heard what she said, she was still worried.

"Are you telling the truth?" Shu Weiting asked, still somewhat doubtful.

"Do you want me to have a problem or not?" Chu Xinglan asked with a grin.

She knew exactly how to dispel her best friend's concerns.

Sure enough, Shu Weiting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Chu Xinglan's words.

"It's good that you're alright. You've been trying to scare me to death every day. Luckily, I have a strong heart." Shu Weiting pretended to be angry and pinched Chu Xinglan's arm.

"Tingting, I'm fine now, you can go back first."

"You brat, don't you have any conscience? I came all this way to save you from this predicament, and you want to send me back? It'll be dawn by the time I get there!" Shu Weiting was truly angry this time.

"Alright, alright, Miss Shu, it was my oversight. Don't be angry." Chu Xinglan quickly massaged her feet and back to calm her down.

She only wanted to get rid of her best friend, wake up the baby herself, and ask her what was going on. If it were just an ordinary baby, she wouldn't get any answers, but this wasn't an ordinary baby. It was a spirit child and must know something. But for now, she could only put the matter aside. Although she was full of doubts, she could only wait. After all, the little one was already asleep, and she couldn't kick her best friend out in the middle of the night.

Shu Weiting lay down on the bed without a care in the world.

Chu Xinglan was afraid that she would crush the baby, so she took a step forward and lay down next to the baby to protect him.

Since she couldn't see the baby, Shu Weiting assumed that Chu Xinglan was trying to take her bed, so she laughed and scolded, "Chu Xinglan, have some self-respect! Only a child would do something like taking a bed. You're just a child who never grew up."

Chu Xinglan stuck out her tongue, not caring what she said.

It's as if they're saying, "I just stole it, what can you do about it?"

I can't do anything to you, but you'll see what I do to you!

Shu Weiting glared fiercely at Chu Xinglan, then suddenly pounced on her and tickled her armpits.

Chu Xinglan was tickled so badly she rolled around on the bed, but she still tried her best to protect the baby.

"Alright, stop fooling around, or you'll disturb the neighbors." Chu Xinglan interrupted Shu Weiting, actually because she was afraid of startling the baby.

She lay down beside the baby, gazing at him, lost in thought.

Who is she? Whose baby is she? Is she dead? Is she a ghost? How heartbroken must her parents be to lose her?

The next day, Chu Xinglan bought some breakfast and desserts and came back. When she got to the door, she saw the baby lying on Shu Weiting's shoulder, but Shu Weiting didn't seem to notice. Seeing Chu Xinglan standing at the door, staring straight at her, she felt a little scared.

Why are you staring at me like that?

"It's nothing. I brought you breakfast. Eat breakfast before you go back," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.

"Mommy!" The little baby riding on Shu Weiting's shoulders stretched out his hands, asking for a hug.

Chu Xinglan glanced at Shu Weiting strangely. Not only could she not see the baby, she could not hear her voice either. Just as the baby reached out for a hug, Chu Xinglan saw the baby float from Shu Weiting's shoulder into her arms.

Fortunately, Chu Xinglan was also someone who had lived a second life, so she was not frightened by this and remained calm.

She really is a prodigy!
