Chapter 7: Can't let Aunt Go Back

Five minutes later, the lights inside the Banquet Hall suddenly went out, leaving only the central stage illuminated. Su Chenjin's voice was heard, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I have an important announcement to make."

Everyone looked over, their faces registering surprise.

Was that actually Su Chenjin and his girlfriend Lin Rou?

The guests had already been wondering why there had been no mention of Su Chenjin and Lin Rou's engagement, which had been expected for today, by Elder Su. Now that they saw Su Chenjin stepping onto the stage, they understood—it was because Su Chenjin intended to make the announcement himself?

Upon seeing this scene, Elder Su immediately frowned, "What is the eldest doing?"

Elder Su had barely finished speaking when Mianmian also turned her body to look at her grand-nephew.

And she was startled at the sight.

That wasn't her grand-nephew at all; it was clearly a ghost that had entered her grand-nephew's body, which could harm his physical well-being! With this thought, Mianmian jumped down from the children's chair. While everyone's attention was absorbed by the stage, she walked with her short little legs, pitter-pattering her way onto the stage.

Since the room was dimly lit and everyone was focused on "Su Chenjin" and Lin Rou, nobody noticed Mianmian.

It was only when Mianmian stood beside "Su Chenjin" in the circle of light that everyone noticed her.

At this time, "Su Chenjin", reaching into his suit pocket for the ring box, knelt on one knee before Lin Rou, paying no mind to the little bun beside him.

Lin Rou didn't care either.

To her, it was just a mischievous kid wanting to join in the fun. Her whole heart and soul were with the man before her, her face beaming with joy.

Su Chenjin, the most outstanding man of Dragon Country, was now kneeling under her pomegranate dress, asking to become her man! If only the Su family weren't so strictly guarded, preventing paparazzi from entering, this moment would dominate the headlines of major news platforms for at least a month!

Even though it wasn't actually Su Chenjin kneeling, what did that matter? Which of the mortals present could know that Su Chenjin was being controlled by a ghost?

Afterward, she, Lin Rou, would be the Su family's eldest daughter-in-law, with all the women in the world beneath her feet.

So, hurry, hurry up and say those words!

Lin Rou's face was bashful and timid, but her heart was bursting with eagerness.

She stared at Su Chenjin's perfectly shaped thin lips, wishing she could say the words for him.

"Rou Rou..." "Su Chenjin" barely opened his thin lips when his expression suddenly stiffened after calling Lin Rou's name.

Lin Rou also noticed something wrong with Su Chenjin, furrowing her brows and turning her gaze to the little girl at his feet. The little girl, wearing a blue pouf dress, stood there solemnly, her pale hand appearing to hold something.

Could this child actually touch a ghost?

Panic-stricken, Lin Rou silently chanted in her mind, "Come back, come back."

Her eyes fixed on the red jade bracelet on her wrist, but there was no response from the bracelet.

This gave Lin Rou a sudden bad premonition. In her panic, she instinctively reached out to push Mianmian aside.

But as her hand moved towards Mianmian, it was caught by someone else.

"Lin Rou, you actually dare to push our Little Auntie?" Su Chenfei grasped Lin Rou's hand tightly, his tone filled with disgust, "Are you looking for death?"

The Su family members didn't have any other faults, just that they were fiercely protective. It wasn't just Su Chenfei who was present; other Su brothers also gathered around Lin Rou.

Surrounded by people bearing such looks of disgust, Lin Rou became frantic inside, "What are you talking about? I just wanted to lead her away, I didn't mean to..."

"So many people are watching, and you still want to argue? There are surveillance cameras in the Banquet Hall, do you want me to play it for you right now?" Su Chenfei was utterly unapologetic.

Lin Rou's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She cast a hopeful look towards Su Chenjin, still harboring a sliver of hope in her heart.

What if Mianmian was just being a mischievous child?

But reality slapped Lin Rou hard in the face.

As Mianmian stepped back with her tiny legs, Su Chenjin's gaze gradually became lucid. He looked at Lin Rou with contempt, as if she were trash on the ground.

In that moment, Lin Rou knew it was over, everything was over!

Unable to bear the blow of shattered dreams, she rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.

After pulling the evil ghost out of her great-nephew's body, Mianmian was very happy.

It was her first time seeing a real ghost too! When she was learning in the mountains, all she saw were fake ghosts in the illusions set up by her mom.

Because she was so happy, Mianmian looked up with her little head at the ghost in her hand, which was emitting dark Qi, and asked curiously, "Why did you enter my great-nephew's body?"

The evil ghost was caught by Mianmian's chubby little hand and didn't dare to move.

Normally, ghosts are intangible; common people can't touch or see them. Evil ghosts do have the ability to materialize in front of ordinary people, but once they do so, it usually means they wish to kill.

Beings capable of touching ghosts are even rarer, usually transcending the realm of yin and yang, progressing towards the direction of a Fairy or Yin Envoy.

But even Yin Envoys capturing ghosts need to use the Soul-hooking Chain, so who exactly is this child?

The evil ghost was somewhat cowering, and said, "I... I was made to enter his body by this woman. Little Fairy, spare my life, please. I was forced to do all these things. This woman even has a master, who gave her me to do evil deeds with."

"Her bracelet is the magical instrument that can control me. I was originally a good ghost; I've never killed anyone. I've confessed everything, Little Fairy, please spare me."

The evil ghost kept begging for mercy.

Mianmian furrowed her little brows, glanced at Lin Rou, and then at the red jade bracelet on her hand.

"Little Fairy, can you loosen your grip? You're holding me too tightly. Ouch, it really hurts," the evil ghost saw Mianmian hesitate and, shifting its eyes, continued to act pitiful.

Mianmian looked at the ghost in her hand which seemed like it was about to cry, and felt a bit sorry for it. If what the ghost said was true, then the bad people were the master and this woman; she shouldn't harm the ghost.

Just as Mianmian was thinking about loosening her grip, she heard her great-nephew's voice, "Little Auntie, don't let him go."

Mianmian looked at Su Chenjin, puzzled, and asked, "Great-nephew, can you see the ghost?"

Su Chenjin, looking at the little one who had saved him once again, said tenderly, "I couldn't see before, but now I can. Little Auntie, can you lock him up?"

"No, don't lock me up..." Seeing that Mianmian was considering Su Chenjin's words, the evil ghost quickly continued to plead.

Remembering what her mom had said before she came down the mountain, to listen to her great-nephew's family, Mianmian nodded and spoke in a tender and sticky voice, "Okay, I'll listen to great-nephew, and lock the ghost away!"

Mianmian gave Su Chenjin a sweet smile and without giving the evil ghost another chance to speak, squeezed the evil ghost into a ball as if she was kneading dough.

The evil ghost needed to be placed in a container.

After thinking for a moment, Mianmian took out the Buddhist prayer bead bracelet from her small bag, stuffed the evil ghost inside, and trapped it with a Talisman Spell.

Su Chenjin, having watched Mianmian's entire process of bundling the evil ghost, felt his strength return and stood up to face the guests.

"I apologize for the spectacle. My Little Auntie is young and was just attracted by the fun happening here and stood by my side. Lin Rou, however, felt disturbed and wanted to push her away, something I had not expected."

"It is my, Su Chenjin's, poor judgment that allowed Lin Rou, with such character, to almost become my wife, thus wasting everyone's time. Please continue your meal," he said.

Unconscious Lin Rou was unaware that she had just been sentenced to death by Su Chenjin.

The guests present all witnessed Lin Rou reaching out towards Mianmian and naturally, no one spoke up for Lin Rou. As for the Little Auntie standing beside Su Chenjin, she was too small for the guests to clearly see her movements, so they simply chalked it up to the mischief of a child.

The Su Family's bodyguards took Lin Rou out of the Manor, and Lin Mei, who had been waiting for a while, was shocked to see her sister being carried out unconscious.

"What happened? What's wrong with my sister? Where is Su Chenjin?" she asked.

The bodyguard just snorted coldly and did not answer Lin Mei's question.

Before long, the banquet concluded.

The servants took care of cleaning the venue, and the Su Family left the Banquet Hall to sit on the sofas in the villa's Living Room.

Seeing that all the guests had left and the ghost had been captured, Mianmian spoke up politely and well-manneredly, "Great-nephew, Mianmian has completed Dad's task, so I'll be going back now."

As soon as Mianmian finished speaking, Elder Su's face changed instantly.

The letter had clearly stated that the Little Auntie must not be allowed to return!
