Chapter 1979: Chapter 1977: This Little Girl Can See You
He unconsciously walked forward, and at this moment, the door was half-open. Standing at the door, Chen Lanxiu was staring with her eyes wide open and mouth agape, looking at Chen Cheng in shock.
Her chest heaved violently. Suddenly, she extended her hand, trembling as she pointed in Chen Cheng’s direction, her mouth opened, but she abruptly turned around and ran into the house.
However, she didn’t close the door. Chen Cheng was about to follow her in but was pulled back by Gu Junbai, who calmly said, "Don’t go in yet. This little girl can see spiritual bodies."
Gu Qiaoqiao and Ling Nan exchanged a glance.
The young girl was indeed extraordinary.
Though she couldn’t see them when they were invisible, she could see spiritual bodies, which was something Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t anticipated. This child had such a talent. No wonder she could see the blood aura on that so-called Uncle Jiang.
No wonder Officer Zheng had said such things to her; clearly, she had once used her abilities to earn some money.
Thinking this, Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up.
At this moment, Chen Lanxiu rushed out from the house, holding a photo. The photo was black and white. Since Gu Qiaoqiao knew Chen Lanxiu couldn’t see her, she boldly walked over and looked down to see that it was a wedding photo of Chen Cheng and his wife, the two heads leaning together, smiling happily and brightly.
And at this point, Chen Lanxiu suddenly burst into tears, "...Daddy, Daddy, are you my daddy?"
At this moment, Chen Cheng realized his daughter could see him. He hadn’t expected his daughter to have such an ability, feeling joy, pride, gratification, bitterness, heartache, despair, sadness...
All sorts of emotions were fermenting, surging, and seething in his heart. He stepped forward, looking intently at the little girl in front of him.
Her eyes were so much like his.
When he died, the child hadn’t been born yet. At that time, he and his wife had imagined countless times how a little girl or a little boy would be like. It turned out his daughter grew up so beautiful, so outstanding. So young, yet she could already be the head of a family.
His voice choked, each word seemingly laborious to speak, "You are... Xiuxiu, I... I am your father, my name is Chen Cheng."
He then extended his hand, wanting to touch Chen Lanxiu’s hair, but alas, being a spiritual body, he couldn’t touch anything, while Chen Lanxiu was frantically wiping away her tears, crying as she said, "Daddy, I’ve dreamed many times, I dreamed you were gone, all covered in blood, trapped in a very dark place..."
The young girl was sobbing uncontrollably, her voice broken and intermittent, "...Daddy, I know you must not be alive anymore, otherwise, I wouldn’t see you this way, Daddy... I’m sorry, I hate my eyes..."
Chen Lanxiu was extremely sad, somewhat incoherent, and at this moment, an alarmed voice suddenly came from inside the house, it was Chen Lanxiu’s grandmother, "Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, who are you talking to?"
Chen Cheng was already choked with emotions, not knowing what to say, but clearly, Chen Lanxiu was going to continue.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly said in Chen Lanxiu’s ear, "Little girl, don’t be afraid, come with us first, don’t let your family know your dad has now become a spiritual body."
The crying abruptly stopped, Chen Lanxiu looked around in panic, seeing nothing.
At this moment, Chen Cheng quickly said, "Xiuxiu, don’t be afraid, they are the ones who brought daddy out. Let’s not talk at the door, or you’ll scare your grandpa, grandma, and your mom."
Even though he saw his daughter, he also wanted to see his parents and wife.
However, knowing it wasn’t the right time.
Only then did Chen Lanxiu react, and at this moment, Chen Cheng’s mother was already standing beside Chen Lanxiu. Looking at the empty yard, she naturally knew her granddaughter could see some unclean things. Her face was already grayish, and it grew more severe as she hurriedly pulled Chen Lanxiu, saying, "Xiuxiu, go back inside quickly. It’s broad daylight, don’t talk nonsense."
At this point, Chen Lanxiu hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Grandma, don’t misunderstand. I just remembered what Uncle Zheng said to us earlier, and I felt both sad and happy, so I was just talking to myself. Don’t worry, Grandma. Daddy’s case will be cleared up soon."
The old lady’s attention was diverted at once. She nodded, showing a rare smile, "Yes, my son definitely wouldn’t do such a thing. He must have suffered a lot outside all these years. Once we clear his name, he’ll come home."
Chen Lanxiu’s tears flowed down again, but she hurriedly pushed the old lady, "Grandma, it’s cold outside, you go in quickly. I’m going to Grandma Li’s house for a bit."
It was clear that Chen Lanxiu was the decision-maker at home. Grandma, understanding her poor health, was persuaded. Knowing that catching a cold would add to the family’s financial burden, she quickly went inside.
Then Chen Lanxiu wiped her tears and looked around, seeing nothing, but she followed Chen Cheng outside.
This walk led them to where they parked the car.
Gu Qiaoqiao waved her hand casually, and a car appeared in front of her. Then, she lifted the invisibility spell as there was no one around. Besides, a barrier talisman and an isolation talisman were set, so no one would see them.
Chen Lanxiu’s eyes widened in shock, staring at the suddenly appearing three people.
A pretty girl, a handsome man, and a handsome boy about her age.
She blurted out, "You must be immortals from heaven, right?"
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t answer her question but asked another, "You can see spiritual bodies, but not us when we’re invisible. By the way, can I call you Xiuxiu?"
Chen Lanxiu quickly nodded, "Yes, you can call me Xiuxiu. I didn’t see you three, but I can see spiritual bodies..."
Then she lowered her head, but in the next moment, she looked up again, staring blankly at her father. Honestly, her father’s image in her mind came from her mother’s stories and the family photos.
Since she became aware of her own peculiarity, she vaguely felt her father was not as her grandparents said, and surely there was some compelling reason for him to leave, not merely a permanent departure. Her father hadn’t just left them; he had left this world altogether.
Ever since she realized she could see spiritual bodies, she often used various opportunities to roam around. Although she couldn’t go far, she knew spiritual bodies like this had an attachment to their family.
