Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1551: Chapter 1552: Doubts Breed Ghosts

To say Mother Qi was previously feeling wronged and wanting to cry when she saw her grandson not being close to her, now she truly wanted to cry out of fear, all because of one casual remark from Sister-in-law Song.

The so-called "suspicions conjure up fears," she originally didn’t think she did anything wrong, but after what that damn Sister-in-law Song said, Mother Qi felt a chill spreading all over her body, making her tremble with cold.

On the day of the car accident, she was talking to that old lady when the car flipped over. The old lady died right on top of her. If she really followed her, it wouldn’t be surprising!

So, her grandson cries whenever he sees her and doesn’t want her to hold him? Is it because of this?

Children’s eyes are the purest, and they’re the ones most likely to see dirty things. Mother Qi would rather believe she is being followed by something dirty, which is why her grandson isn’t close to her, than believe that her grandson truly dislikes her.

"You’re overthinking it, I’m not that magical, capable of seeing ghosts!"

This is what little Qi Xiaoqi thought, feeling very uncomfortable being held tightly by Mother Cheng, and couldn’t help but scream to protest.

Mother Cheng realized, quickly patting his back: "Don’t worry, don’t worry, Grandma is here." She then said to Sister-in-law Song: "Sister-in-law Song, what nonsense are you talking about? We’re just having a family talk, you should head back first, and come to the restaurant for dinner later!"

But in her heart, she believed a bit of what was said, otherwise why would normally well-behaved Xiao Qi act so unusual today?

Sister-in-law Song, still not convinced, said: "You don’t believe me? It’s quite common where I come from, children generally don’t go out at night!"

"Sister-in-law Song!" Mother Cheng reprimanded, giving her a stern look.

Sister-in-law Song finally realized what was going on, seeing everyone with dark faces, she chuckled awkwardly and said: "I still have two tubs of laundry to do, make yourselves at home!" Then she pulled her two sons, and left hurriedly.

Mother Qi was trembling with anger, saying: "How did we end up with someone so ridiculous moving in next door!"

Mother Cheng reluctantly said: "Sister-in-law Song just isn’t very good with words. It stayed with us in our hearts. Xiao Qi is just shy, once he gets used to it, he’ll be fine." But frankly, anyone who heard this found it unconvincing and forced.

Shy? Everyone in this room has seen him and held him, including Old Master Cheng, yet only acts shy with his real grandmother?

What a joke!

Mother Qi’s lip twitched, saying: "Spewing nonsense on such a good day, can’t say anything well." Yet her hands trembled a lot, and she constantly felt as if something was on her shoulder, making her heart race.

The atmosphere had been warm, but now everyone felt a sense of horror and awe.

"It’s all superstition. If you ask me, maybe it’s just Xiao Qi doesn’t like the smell of the ointment on Mom!" Qi Fengping picked up Qi Xiaoqi, saying: "Dear nephew, isn’t that right?"

Qi Xiaoqi gave a cooperative smile, making Qi Fengping delighted: "See, Xiao Qi is smiling, he understands what Aunt is saying!"

"Exactly, Mother-in-law, really there’s nothing to it, don’t overthink!" said Father Cheng as well.

Mother Qi pretended to be calm, saying: "I understand, I’m fine." That’s what she said, but inside, she felt anxious and uneasy.

"Today is Xiao Qi’s full month celebration, a happy day, and there’s more happiness: Fengping has been accepted into college. It’s a double blessing for the Qi family!" Father Cheng said, "The Qi family now has three college students and a military chief. Xiao Qi will surely be accomplished too. In-laws, your Qi family is becoming more and more prosperous! The future looks only brighter. Our Cheng Zhi hasn’t achieved much, he didn’t pass the exams!"

Hearing the compliments from the in-laws, Father Qi’s face beamed with a smile, and Mother Qi relaxed her tense face, though in her heart she thought about arranging a ritual to ward off evil.
