Chapter 528: Retribution

Lu Sheng had just put on her shoes when she sent Chu Yan a WeChat message.

The other party replied quickly, saying that he was free.

Lu Sheng went to the garage to open the birthday gift Shangguan Dian gave her previously. It was a pink BMW sports car.

To be honest, Lu Sheng did not like pink. Shangguan Dian had chosen this car for her himself.

Lu Sheng drove to the entrance of the district and sent Chu Yan a message.

“At the entrance of the district. I’ll wait for you.”

“Yes, I’ll be there soon.”

Lu Sheng smiled at the message.

Soon, Chu Yan walked over in a casual outfit.

He was wearing a white shirt, a pair of black sweat pants, and a pair of white shoes. He looked fresh and sunny.

“So soon? Your house shouldn’t be far from my house, right?”

Lu Sheng leaned her head against the window and looked up at him with a smile.

Yesterday, Pei Jiayou sent her home first. Hence, she did not know where Chu Yan alighted from. She only knew that his house was in this neighborhood as well.

Chu Yan raised his hand slightly and was about to stroke her black hair. However, he felt that it was inappropriate and retracted his hand.

He ran over to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and sat in.

After buckling his seat belt, he looked at her and said, “Yes, it’s not far from your house.”

Lu Sheng started the car and left the district.

“A person’s fate is really strange.”

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke emotionally.

“What do you mean?”

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked her.

She smiled and said, “I’ve lived in this district for more than ten years, but I’ve never met you and Pei Yan. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“That’s normal.” Chu Yan smiled faintly and said, “I don’t even know if I have neighbors.”

The villas here were all detached. Everyone had their own courtyard, so they rarely interacted.

“I know mine.” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “There were originally two elders living next door. They often practiced Tai Chi and basked in the sun in the courtyard. I’m very familiar with them, but later, they seemed to have been fetched away by their children. Now, there’s no one living there anymore. There are only occasional housekeepers who come over to clean.”

Chu Yan stared at her profile for a while and fell into deep thought.

He dreamed again last night. He dreamed that he had brought the girl called Sheng Sheng to the Netherworld.

There were blooming Red Spider Lilies in the Netherworld. When the flowers saw them walk in, they shook and emitted a surprisingly bright red light.

The patrolling guards called him His Highness when they saw him.

It was a strange and fantasy-like dream, but he vaguely felt that it was familiar.

It was as if it was not a dream but a memory he had experienced before.

However, until now, he still could not see the face of the girl called ‘Sheng Sheng’ clearly.

It was always blurry. Every time he wanted to see her face clearly, he would wake up from his dream.

“What are you thinking about?”

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.

He shook his head slightly. “Nothing. I just had a ridiculous dream last night. Now that I think about it, I think it’s a little fun.”

“Ridiculous dream?” Lu Sheng glanced at him and continued staring at the road ahead. “Why don’t you tell me how strange it is?”

He smiled faintly and said disapprovingly, “I dreamed that I was an ancient person, and a highness of the Netherworld.”

Screech.

With a sharp screech, Lu Sheng stopped the car by the roadside.

Seeing that she suddenly braked, Chu Yan looked at her in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Lu Sheng laughed dryly and shook her head. She started the engine again.

If she had previously suspected that Chu Yan was not Chu Sihan, she was completely certain now.

He was Chu Sihan, the person she had waited for more than a hundred years.

How great!

“You seem… very happy?”

Seeing the smile on her lips, Chu Yan could not help but ask.

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Of course.”

“Can you tell me why?”

She turned her head to look at him and smiled. “Because you’re here.”

Chu Yan was stunned. He did not expect her to be happy because of him.

He lowered his eyes and smiled.

The two of them reached the restaurant where Guan Xin was at quickly. When they entered, they realized that besides Guan Xin and Pei Jiayou, there was also Pei Yan.

“You’re finally here?”

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow and complained to the two of them. “If you were any later, I would have fainted from hunger.”

Guan Xin smiled and invited the two of them to sit. When he heard Pei Yan’s complaints, he hurriedly got the waiter to serve the dishes.

“Uncle Guan, how do you feel?”

Lu Sheng picked up the kettle and asked as she washed the dishes.

“It’s really amazing!”

Guan Xin widened his eyes and said, “I did as you said. Although my neck still hurts, it’s not as bad as before.”

Previously, he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to rub his neck every now and then. However, ever since he followed Lu Sheng’s instructions, as long as he did not twist his neck, he basically did not feel any pain.

Lu Sheng smiled. “That’s good.”

Guan Xin exclaimed, “I didn’t expect you to know so much at such a young age. How admirable!”

“Uncle Guan, you flatter me. I just learned a little from my father.”

“This is just a little?” Pei Yan’s lips twitched. “You can even turn paper figurines into living people.”

Pei Jiayou smiled and said, “Finish the food first. We’ll talk about other things later.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Guan Xin nodded frantically. “Let’s eat first.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. She picked up a piece of chicken feet for Chu Yan. “Try it.”

“Yes.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly and ate silently.

Pei Yan pretended to be unhappy and said, “Junior, you’re always so biased. You always give Chu Yan food, but not me.”

Lu Sheng smiled and did not intend to give him food.

Pei Yan snorted and placed each dish into his bowl spitefully.

When they were almost done eating, Pei Jiayou suddenly looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Speaking of which, we all live in the same district, but I’ve only seen your uncle. I’ve never seen your father. Is your father in City H?”

“Yes, he lives with us. Uncle Pei, you’ve seen him before.”

Lu Sheng remembered that they had met Pei Jiayou once in Jade Hotel. Her master was there too.

“Really?” Pei Jiayou frowned and said in a low voice, “Did I forget?”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Lu Zhou is my father.”

“Huh?” Pei Jiayou was shocked. “Isn’t he your uncle’s friend?”

Although he had only seen Lu Zhou once, he had a deep impression of him.

He looked to be in his thirties. He was handsome and looked gentle. There was a faint smile on his face, but he gave off an unfathomable feeling.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “He’s my father. Don’t look at how young he is. Actually, he’s already very old.”

Pei Jiayou could not help but sigh. “I really couldn’t tell. I thought he was only in his thirties.”

“Come, little niece. This is the big red packet I promised you.”

At the side, Guan Xin took out three red packets. He gave the biggest to Lu Sheng and the other two to Chu Yan and Pei Yan.

The duo did not want to accept it, but seeing how he forced it, they could only accept it.

“Thank you, Uncle Guan!”

Lu Sheng touched the thickness of the red packet and thanked him with a smile.

“Sigh, it’s alright. You deserve it.” Guan Xin smiled and said, “If Uncle had known that you had this ability, I wouldn’t have suffered for so long.”

Lu Sheng smiled and kept the red packet quickly.

They sat and chatted for a while before Guan Xin’s phone suddenly rang.

“Have you found out?”

He picked up the phone and asked in a deep voice.

The person on the other side said something. Guan Xin’s expression changed slightly. He replied softly before hanging up.

“What did they say?”

After he hung up, Pei Jiayou asked.

Guan Xin sighed softly and looked at Lu Sheng. “The previous owner of the car was in a car accident on the highway today. He’s still in the hospital for emergency treatment. It’s unknown if he’s dead or alive.”

“This can be considered retribution.” Lu Sheng smiled coldly and said, “That car owner knocked into someone because of his drunk driving. However, because he has someone behind his back, he only compensated the victim’s family with a mere hundred thousand yuan. When they didn’t accept the money, he threatened them and forced them to move. This can be considered retribution.”

The ghost from last night was only seventeen or eighteen years old and was still in puberty. It was a pity he died just like that!

Guan Xin was shocked. “There’s actually such a thing?”

After being surprised, he said, “That family does have a strong backing. No wonder.”

Pei Yan snorted coldly. “It’s better if such a person dies.”

Chu Yan and Pei Jiayou nodded in agreement.

The few of them parted ways downstairs.

Guan Xin said that he wanted to return to City A and had a flight in the afternoon, so he left early.

As Pei Jiayou was returning to the company, he asked Pei Yan and Lu Sheng to go back together.

“Where are we going to play next?”

Pei Yan placed his hands in his pockets and asked the duo.

Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng and asked, “Where do you want to go to play?”

Lu Sheng shrugged. “I’m fine with anything. Do as you deem fit.”

“Let’s go to Feng Yun KTV to sing. It’s been a long time since we’ve karaoke,” suggested Pei Yan.

Chu Yan looked at Lu Sheng again. Seeing her nod slightly, he nodded and said, “Then, let’s go.”

The three of them drove to Feng Yun KTV. When they entered, they met a few familiar faces at the counter.

Zhu Ling had just finished paying when she bumped into Lu Sheng and the rest.

“Jiang Jing.”

Chen Yizhen greeted Lu Sheng with a smile.

Lu Sheng nodded at her and her gaze landed on the others.

There were boys and girls in this group. Zhou Mei and Lan Jia were also there.

Lu Sheng did not know any of the boys.

“Senior Pei, Senior Chu, do you want to join us?”

Zhu Ling ignored Lu Sheng and looked at Chu Yan and Pei Yan.

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow and asked Lu Sheng, “Your friend?”

Lu Sheng shook her head slightly. “A classmate.”

“Oh, so you’re classmates.” Pei Yan smiled at Zhu Ling. “No need. We’ve already booked a room.”

“Young Master Pei, Young Master Chu, the two of you are here!”

Feng Yun KTV’s manager walked over and smiled as he shook hands with the two of them. Then, he gestured for them to enter. “I’ve already reserved the usual room for you. Please come in!”

Chu Yan held Lu Sheng’s hand and walked forward first. Pei Yan hurried after them.

“Zhu Ling, is that girl your classmate?”

A yellow-haired boy glanced at Lu Sheng and asked Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling’s expression was a bit ugly. She did not answer the boy but walked towards the elevator gloomily.

The three of them entered a big room.

The interior was very luxurious and it was obvious that it was not cheap.

Lu Sheng, Lu Zhou, and Shangguan Dian had been here once. She remembered that such rooms cost at least ten thousand yuan.

There was everything inside. The venue was huge.

Pei Yan looked at the two of them and said, “Isn’t it a bit since it’s just the three of us?”

Chu Yan said lightly, “Call Shi Yi, Yun Ting, Qi Jing, and the rest over.”

Pei Yan nodded. “Okay, I’ll call them over now. You two sing first.”

When Lu Sheng heard Chu Yan say the names, she was momentarily stunned.

Could they be the reincarnation of Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and Qi Dongjing?

If that was the case, did Fu Sisi and Yu Mingyue reincarnate as well?

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Yan passed a microphone to her. However, she was in a daze, seemingly in deep thought.

“Oh, nothing.”

Lu Sheng regained her senses and smiled at him.

“What song do you want to sing? I’ll key it in for you.”

Chu Yan walked to the music stand and asked her.

“Oh, just select them casually. I’ll sing later.”

As she spoke, she sat on the sofa and took out a piece of watermelon, munching on it.

Chu Yan sighed softly and did not key in any songs. Instead, he walked to her side and sat down.

“Have you suddenly felt a sense of familiarity towards a stranger?” he asked softly.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, “Why do you ask?”

“I don’t know why either.” Chu Yan looked at her and said lightly, “From the first time I saw you, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if we had known each other before.”

Know each other before? Not only did they know each other, but they had even held their wedding and slept together.

Lu Sheng complained in her heart, but she smiled on the surface. “Perhaps, we were enemies in our previous lives?”

“I don’t think so.” Chu Yan shook his head affirmatively.

“Oh?” Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows again. “Why not?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know why, but I keep feeling that we won’t be enemies.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “If we’re not enemies, we’re husband and wife.”

Chu Yan was stunned immediately. After a while, his face and neck turned red.

As the music was paused and the lights in the room were still on, Lu Sheng could clearly see his red face.

Lu Sheng suddenly chuckled.

In her previous life, Chu Sihan was very thick-skinned. His blush was not so obvious.

She did not expect him to blush because of her words after reincarnation.

“Do… do you say that to everyone?”

Chu Yan coughed lightly and spoke in a deep voice.

“How wronged!” Lu Sheng spread her hands and widened her eyes. “I’ve lived for so many years and only said these words to you.”

When Chu Yan heard that, his tensed expression softened.

“Hey, you haven’t keyed in your songs yet?”

After ending the call, Pei Yan pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the duo sitting there foolishly, he could not help but raise his eyebrows and ask.

Lu Sheng took a piece of rice crust and threw it into her mouth. “My throat hurts. I can’t sing anymore.”

Pei Yan said, “…Won’t your throat hurt from eating rice crust?”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “My throat won’t hurt.”

Pei Yan rolled his eyes at her and said to Chu Yan, “Shi Yi said he wants to play cards. Do you want to play?”

Chu Yan said lightly, “Up to you.”

Lu Sheng looked at the door expectantly, wanting to see if the three people Chu Yan mentioned were the three people she knew.
