15 Don’t leave me alone

Even when the macho man fainted, the ghost woman didn't let go and kept hanging on his back like some distorted bump, it was a horrifying sight with her nails digging in the man's throat and her slit mouth that was dripping with blood, and when she raised her head to look at the portly man with those bottomless pits of hers, the portly man couldn't take it anymore. What money, what fun? He would rather keep his life intact! With that thought in his mind, he bolted out of the alley, leaving a trail of wet patches behind him.

Once the portly man was gone, the ghost woman turned her attention to Fu Rong who shut her eyes but then immediately opened them. No, this woman just saved her she shouldn't be afraid of her, " Song Yan, I don't know how you did it but thank you… you really saved my life." Though Fu Rong was really appreciative of what the ghost woman did for her, her entire figure was shivering and those eyes that were always red and dry due to extreme screen time and smoking were now shimmering with tears.

" Oh yeah?" said a voice from behind " if you are so thankful then you should at least thank the right person." Then without any warning, Song Yan walked out of the dark corner as if she melted from the darkness itself. She glanced at the surprised Fu Rong who was kneeling on the floor then turned her attention to Fang Yanli who was having a bit too much fun sucking the cold Yin energy off the macho thug. That man has killed so many young girls and helpless widows, that it was no surprise that he was plagued with such a large amount of Yin energy. " That's enough, Yanli. Leave some of him for Song Lan, we don't want to dirty our hands by killing such criminals."

Fang Yanli stuck her tongue out before getting off the back of the macho thug, she then took off the talisman for her to materialise in front of humans that Song Yan has stuck on her and vanished into thin air leaving Song Yan and Fu Rong alone in the alley.

Though Fu Rong tried to look like she wasn't as affected by the ghost named Yanli, she still breathed a sigh of relief when that creepy woman vanished and only her beautiful second sister in law was left behind, she worked her mouth and somewhat hoarsely asked " Is she … is she still here?"

Song Yan shrugged then crouched down to undo Fu Rong's bindings. " No, she left us alone…she might have thought that you and I might have a lot to say but I don't think that's the case."

Song Yan only came to save Fu Rong because of Fu Yu Sheng, though that man hardly ever appeared in her past life, he gave her and her son the respect that they deserved by never remarrying or naming anyone else as his heir. She didn't know why he did it whether it was his penance or his way of apologising for what he did but he kept his promises that he made to her during their wedding vows by staying single all his life after her death especially when bees like Song Lan and many others tried to climb his bed. If she stayed neutral while that man's sister was being ra*ed and killed then she might become the wrong one in their relationship…. That was the only reason why she came here, nothing else.

Fu Rong quietly looked at Song Yan who was looking extremely dashing for some reason, dressed in all black with that trench coat. " Second sister in law… how did you know that Song Lan would come for me?"

" It was pretty obvious… after all how can someone like Song Lan and her mother crawl all the way up to the position where they are now?" said Song Yan as she straightened up after untying Fu Rong's bindings, her gaze fell on Fu Rong's torn shirt and she tsked before taking off her trench coat and throwing it at Fu Rong. She wore it to keep her clothes clean looks like she has to get dirty at that abandoned graveyard.

Fu Rong stared at Song Yan in a daze. She was really awed at how Song Yan appeared out of nowhere but then she thought of Song Yan's accident that just happened and unconsciously shrank in fright. However, she wanted to ask so many things that she couldn't help but ask " That still doesn't explain why she tried to…" Fu Rong swallowed the words ' kill me', she was really scared after what happened tonight, just half an hour ago, he really thought that she was going to be killed. Now, that the reality was setting in she couldn't help but tremble upon realising what just happened.

Song Yan was disgusted hearing that question as she scrunched up but she still answered as she rolled the sleeves of her black shirt revealing her forearms, " go back home and ask Master Gu what it means to snatch someone's luck, I have somewhere to be." Then she turned around to leave but before she could take so much as a step forward, Fu Rong jumped and wrapped her arms around Song Yan, " sister in law, I know I was wrong but don't leave me alone, I … I am too scared."

Song Yan nearly cursed out, this was why she didn't want to get entangled with Fu Rong's mess, she looked down at her wristwatch and sure enough, it was past two in the morning, if she didn't leave for the graveyard now than she might have to deal with malevolent spirits unnecessarily, as the one hour between three and four a.m was when the evil spirits were most powerful. If she didn't waste her time playing the hero for Fu Rong, she might have already dug the grave under which the array was buried.

Fu Rong could sense that Song Yan was reluctant to bring her home but she didn't blame her after all she not only bullied Song Yan, but she also bullied the little Fu Chen whom Song Yan adored so much. But she was traumatised by what happened as well! First, she had to deal with those kidnappers then she had to see the one thing that she hated the most, she wanted to ask Song Yan how she was able to control a ghost but the two of them were not close enough for her to pry into Song Yan's secrets. If she questioned her about her weird supernatural abilities maybe Song Yan might get even more annoyed with her!

So, she could only try to play coy not only because she wanted Song Yan to accompany her to the Fu house but also because she wanted to get close to this powerful sister in law who can control dark spirits!

Thus, she pulled out her most adorable puppy dog expression and sobbed, " Second sister in law, please! I beg you to take me home, I am too scared to go home alone, I am afraid I can't even walk out of this alley alone much less return home alone."

Song Yan sighed, she knew that there was a good chance Fu Rong was just playing coy but indeed it was too late for a young woman to return home alone. She cursed herself again for being too stupid and then plastered her most fake smile as she asked " Where is the car they brought you in?"
