Chapter 1565: Another lunatic in 1564
Tan Rou thought with a speechless expression, oh, so you’re quite a nice person too.
“Thank you for your invitation, but I’m not hungry right now. Why don’t you go ask the lady inside if she would like to eat? I think she really needs to replenish her nutrients,” said Tan Rou.
“Hahaha.” Mrs. Hai Wei covered her mouth with laughter, “Little girl, you really are an interesting person. I really want to keep you here. Why don’t you stay and keep me company? After all, it’s just me living in this big house. It’s quite lonely.”
“No, my husband is waiting for me to come home for dinner,” Tan Rou said calmly, “If you want to invite me for a meal, you’ll have to wait until I’m free.”
“You look so young. Did you get married early?” Mrs. Hai Wei seemed very interested in this topic, “When I was your age, I also had someone I liked very much.”
Tan Rou said, “You also look very young, but you already have a husband and a daughter, so it’s not surprising at all that I got married at this age.”
“Do you think I look young?” Mrs. Hai Wei touched her own face, “Actually, I am already thirty-eight years old.”
Tan Rou did not show any surprise as she had already guessed this condition. Plastic surgery indeed could keep a person’s youth and beauty, but after all, it involved cutting on the face, and after the surgery, the expressions on her face could never be as lively as before. That’s why Mrs. Hai Wei had a very small range of facial expressions when she laughed, and she always had to cover her mouth to prevent her face from cracking with laughter.
“I had someone I liked very much, and then I married him. Every year after our marriage, we lived very happily,” Mrs. Hai Wei said. “He, like you, was from a foreign country. We met while studying abroad. All his family had passed away, so after we graduated from university, we settled back here.”
Tan Rou did not want to listen to Mrs. Hai Wei’s story at all. Her time was almost up, and if she didn’t leave soon, she was afraid that Zhuang Liu would come storming in with a rocket launcher.
“Mrs. Hai Wei…” Tan Rou wanted to interrupt Mrs. Hai Wei’s story, but Mrs. Hai Wei did not give her a chance to speak.
Mrs. Hai Wei was absorbed in her own story, “Later, our daughter was born. She was a very beautiful little girl with black eyes, fair skin, lovely hair, and an angelic smile.”
“Mrs. Hai Wei, I think…” Tan Rou said, “Could I possibly…”
“But ten years ago, they left me forever,” Mrs. Hai Wei’s face turned sorrowful, “In my husband’s country, people believe in spirits after death. If no grim reaper comes to take the spirit away, then it will wander in the human world.”
“In order for them to see me, to remember what I look like, I preserved myself at my most beautiful age—eighteen, the age when I met my husband.”
“What a sad story!” Tan Rou gave a brief comment, “Mrs. Hai Wei, I think it’s time for me to leave. Next time I’ll come and listen to more of your stories.”
Mrs. Hai Wei glanced at her, “Little girl, if my daughter were still alive, she would be about your age now.”
Tan Rou’s heart tightened. What is this crazy lady up to? She wouldn’t be trying to keep her here as a daughter, would she? Or turn her into an actual standee?
“What a pity, if she had grown up, she would have been a very beautiful girl,” Tan Rou said with a smile.
“Click—” The shutter sounded, and a photo was captured on the camera.
Upon hearing the shutter sound, Tan Rou immediately felt her scalp tingle. Sure, she could fight people, but the other party was a creature neither human nor ghost, which seemed horrifying no matter how you thought about it!
“So pretty!” Mrs. Hai Wei looked at the photo with satisfaction, “I’m going to make it into a bookmark, a wall painting, then print it out as a photo and cover my room with it. That way, I can always look at it.”
Tan Rou: “You…” You’re sick!
“Beep beep—beep beep—” It was 5:30 now, and the alarm began to ring, making Tan Rou’s goosebumps shoot up.
“Mrs. Hai Wei, I think I should leave,” Tan Rou said once again.
“Where are you going?” Mrs. Hai Wei asked.
“My husband is waiting for me outside,” Tan Rou pointed out the window, “So I’ll come over for breakfast another time!”
