It was already midnight, and the villa area was very quiet, with only sparse lights, giving people a feeling of loneliness in the depths of night.
While passing by Bai Yifei's villa, Ding Fan still caught a glimpse of the dim and flickering light on the balcony on the third floor. It was probably Cai Cai sitting there smoking.
Wu Yahuan parked the car in front of a three-story villa and knocked on the door. An elegant man in a suit and glasses opened the door with a smile and said kindly: "My little sister is here."
"Second brother, this is Ding Fan, I told you before." Wu Yahuan introduced.
"Nice young man, very handsome, please come in!" Wu Weiqiang smiled and extended the invitation.
"Hello, second brother!" Ding Fan also greeted with a smile.
Wu Weiqiang made a good impression on Ding Fan. He has fair skin and a quiet personality. He has no treacherous appearance or worldly snobbery. He looks clean and is a true scholar.
Walking into the villa, it goes without saying that the decoration is luxurious and the cleaning is spotless. What you see most are various scientific books. One wall is covered with bookcases, and books and periodicals can be seen everywhere. It can be said that no matter where Wu Weiqiang sits, he can easily find it.
Pick up a book and read it.
On the way, Ding Fan had already inquired about Wu Weiqiang's current situation. Ever since he was injured, he had been staying at home without leaving the house. Even his meals were brought to him by servants. This situation has lasted for nearly two years.
Wu Weiqiang does not seem to feel depressed about this kind of life. Books have made him a person who can endure loneliness.
Just as he was going up the stairs, Ding Fan stopped. He saw an oil painting hanging on the wall. On it was a woman in her twenties, holding a bouquet of flowers and smiling sweetly.
Wu Yahuan couldn't help but give Ding Fan a tug. No matter what she looked at, she felt disgusted with this painting, especially the woman on it. It's just that the second brother was too stubborn and insisted on hanging it here.
"Xiaofan, this is my wife, isn't she beautiful?" Wu Weiqiang introduced.
"Well, he is handsome and smart, and has a generous personality." Ding Fan praised.
The woman is Wu Yahuan's dead second sister-in-law, Bian Mengcai. She looks good and has wealth, but if you look closely, you can see that the roots are broken, the philtrum is narrow, and the cheekbones are barren, but she has a standard short-lived appearance.
Moreover, her chin is a bit long and pointed, and she is also a very sensitive woman.
"Alas, if I lose her, I also lose the whole world." Wu Weiqiang let out a long sigh.
"Second brother, you should forget about her. Haven't you suffered enough at the hands of the Bian family?" Wu Yahuan was indignant.
"What happened to the Bian family has nothing to do with Mengcai. She was simple and kind-hearted and had no disputes with others. But God was unfair and took her away suddenly. What happened after that was beyond the control of her poor old friend.
"Wu Weiqiang argued stubbornly.
He is definitely an infatuated species, but such a good man may even be classified as a rare species.
When they reached the third floor, they were facing a set of valuable mahogany tables and chairs. Wu Weiqiang had already made tea, and after the two of them sat down, he immediately poured the tea.
Ding Fan saw an oversized astronomical telescope on the balcony. Exploring distant worlds seemed to be a common hobby of the Wu family, but unlike Wu Yahuan's purpose, the telescope really pointed toward the sky.
Spotting Ding Fan's eyes, Wu Weiqiang smiled and said: "Only when you look up at the stars can you feel the insignificance of human beings."
"Second brother, we don't need to live a down-to-earth life yet." Wu Yahuan said, of course she hoped that second brother could go out again instead of staying at home all the time.
"Compared to the universe, human beings are not even a drop in the ocean, and wealth is fleeting. Only true love will remain in our memory forever."
Wu Weiqiang has a very stubborn temperament. As things have progressed to this day, his heart can no longer tolerate anything except his deceased wife.
"Second brother, you are a real scientist, and the things I do seem to go against science." Ding Fan said.
"No, there are still many unsolved mysteries in science, and their existence is reasonable."
It is very rare that Wu Weiqiang did not deny Ding Fan at first, because of two points. First, the cause of his wife's death was unknown, too sudden, and could not be explained by medicine; second, regarding the cheating photo, Ding Fan's explanation was also
Acknowledged by Wu Weiqiang, he did not remember having contact with this woman at all.
While he was talking, Wu Weiqiang covered his mouth and yawned again. He felt sleepy and was out of energy. Because there were guests, he resisted not going back to his room to sleep.
Something was indeed wrong with Wu Weiqiang. After Ding Fan opened his spiritual eyes, he discovered that his Yintang was pale white, but his body was covered with a light gray mist, which was the standard Yin Qi.
To put it simply, he is haunted by ghosts!
"Second brother, the telescope is very high-end. Can it let me see the starry sky?" Ding Fan asked.
"Of course!" Wu Weiqiang agreed with a smile, stood up and greeted Ding Fan, came to the balcony, and adjusted the telescope so that it was facing Mars.
Ding Fan pretended to lower his head to check the eyepiece, then rubbed his eyes, "Sister Huan, could you turn off all the lights in the room? I can't see clearly!"
"There's still a lot going on."
Wu Yahuan muttered and reluctantly went out to turn off the lights. Wu Weiqiang also helped turn off the lights. Soon, the entire villa became completely dark.
What he wants is this effect. Ding Fan's purpose is to look at the stars and wait for the ghost to appear.
He opened his spiritual eyes and scanned his surroundings. A few minutes later, a gray shadow floated up from downstairs and reached the balcony before Wu Yahuan.
Yes, the ghost is none other than Bian Mengcai!
The former mistress of this family was wearing a dress, appearing and disappearing, walking around Ding Fan.
Usually, after a person dies, the ghost will immediately rush to the underworld and queue up to wait for the underworld staff to resettle him. If he arrives late, he may not have the chance to be reincarnated.
Only ghosts with strong obsessions will choose to stay in the human world. It can be seen that Bian Mengcai truly loves Wu Weiqiang and is reluctant to part with this home that belongs to her.
But after all, she is a ghost with a strong yin energy. She has been pestering Wu Weiqiang. Over time, Wu Weiqiang's yang energy will inevitably be consumed, and Wu Weiqiang will become depressed and lethargic.
Wu Weiqiang must have felt about this, but he did not want to give up. Being able to meet his wife in his dream also made him feel satisfied. In addition to his favorite books, this may be another important reason why he is willing to stay indoors.
Ding Fan has often seen ghosts since he was a child. He has long been accustomed to this and does not feel afraid at all. Especially during the years of studying in Fuyun Mountain, he has a deeper understanding of this.
Ghosts are not scary, but rather pitiful. What they can do is very limited. As for making any noise or coming out to scare people, that is not what they can do.
Moreover, normal people with sound souls cannot see their existence at all.
