Once Anning left, Qu Lan threw a fit.

This time he was angry with Mrs. Yan.

He said to Qu Zhen and Aunt Qu, "My sister is becoming more and more worthless, she’s filled with nonsense all the time. I think that man Yan has brainwashed her. She wasn’t so opportunistic before she married, how did she end up like this? Look at all the things the Yan Family has done; Anning is such a good girl. If she were my biological daughter, I would wake up laughing from my dreams, but as for her, she forced her biological daughter to sever their relationship."

Saying this, Qu Lan was even more displeased: "Can she have a good life in the future like this? Ha, the remaining members of the Yan Family are quite heartless. What Yan Anhua did, what do you call that? Fraudulent marriage? How can one even conceive of it, let alone carry it out? And claiming Lina didn’t suffer a loss? Disgusting, wasted her good years, and she didn’t suffer? Thinking about it makes me sick; how can my sister still want to rely on him? No way."

Aunt Qu was also baffled about what Mrs. Yan was thinking.

"Thinking about what Xiao Nan said, it gives me chills. How could he be sincere to others when he’s so heartless to his own mother?"

"Don’t associate with them anymore."

Qu Zhen made a firm decision: "Dad, I don’t care what you and Mom do, I won’t have any more contact with the Yan Family."

Qu Lan nodded: "A family of bastards; just thinking about them makes me uncomfortable. Associating with them - not in this lifetime. If I do, it’ll only be with Lina and Anning."

Qu Zhen chuckled: "Dad, you’re wise. Only Sister Shi and Anning are decent people in that family; the rest, you can’t even begin to describe."

At this point, Qu Lan asked Qu Zhen about his visit to the Liu family.

Qu Zhen shared his feelings: "Xiaxia’s family is decent; her parents are honest and straightforward people. I don’t know her sister, but Xiaxia said she has a good relationship with her sister."

Just as Qu Zhen was saying this, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller was Liu Xia, he hurried to the bedroom to take the call.

"Xiaxia."

Qu Zhen’s smile was obvious as he answered the call, showing all the signs of a man in love: "What’s wrong? Is there something going on, or do you just miss me?"

Liu Xia’s voice sounded a bit hoarse, even nasal, as if she had just cried: "Azhen, I... I’m at my wit’s end, please help me."

"What happened?"

Qu Zhen’s smile faded: "Speak clearly, don’t cry, don’t worry."

Liu Xia sniffled: "It’s about Feifei. Feifei has always been a good child, diligent in her studies, never associating with shady people, but... our upstairs neighbor Song Jiajia says Feifei stole her boyfriend and calls her a slut, claiming she works in some place and mingles with many men. Recently, she was said to have hooked up with a rich second-generation heir. Anyway, what’s being said is outrageous. My parents are furious; I argued with Song Jiajia, and she showed me a forum with... I can barely speak."

Qu Zhen frowned deeply: "Have you asked your sister? What’s going on exactly?"

Liu Xia spoke softly: "I asked her, Feifei denied it, but there are so many pictures on the forum, they don’t seem Photoshopped..."

"Don’t worry, send me the forum’s address; I’ll have a friend look into it."

Qu Zhen soothed Liu Xia until she calmed down, then had her send him the address.

Qu Zhen opened the forum and carefully examined the post. He had studied computer science, and his skills were quite good. In his expert view, the pictures weren’t Photoshopped; they were entirely real.

The photos showed Liu Feifei dressed impeccably, adorned in designer brands, entering hotels with one millionaire after another, and there was one of Liu Feifei chasing after a young rich heir.

Qu Zhen scrutinized the photo; the rich heir was blurry, but he recognized him as Li Hai.

Thinking of Li Hai, Qu Zhen immediately thought of Anning.

He called Anning.

"Ningning, do you still keep in touch with Li Hai?"

Anning had just showered and was about to rest; she sat cross-legged on the bed, taking the call while playing with a stuffed toy: "We still have contact, his shares are in Yinong Company. We’re business partners now, why?"

Qu Zhen took a deep breath: "Can you ask him if he was involved with Liu Feifei recently?"

Bringing up Liu Feifei, Anning immediately paid attention.

After all, the girl was rather innocent, overtaken by an alien soul, using her body to do many harmful things. If not handled properly, the impact on her could be severe, possibly ruining her entire life.

"Brother, there’s no need to ask Li Hai, I know."

Anning tried to explain gently and steadily to Qu Zhen: "Recently Li Hai was in the Capital, and he did have contact with Liu Feifei. Liu Feifei was working at a club and happened to meet Li Hai; she became entangled with him, and Li Hai, fearing her persistence, returned to Hai City."

Qu Zhen’s expression grew increasingly grim: "It seems Liu Feifei deceived her family."

Anning shook her head: "No."

Uh?

Qu Zhen was puzzled.

Anning spoke softly: "Liu Feifei’s situation is similar to mine; during that time, she was also overtaken by another personality. Uh, Brother, have you read novels? Or ghost stories?"

"I have," Qu Zhen quickly understood Anning’s implication: "You mean Liu Feifei was possessed?"

"Yes, in ghost stories such a situation is called borrowing a corpse to return the soul."

Anning wanted to be more detailed: "Modern psychology refers to this as schizophrenia, if you can’t accept the ghost story explanation; use modern science to view this. In other words, Liu Feifei had a split personality recently; the other persona was vain and unscrupulous, and these personalities acted independently. When the other is present, Liu Feifei has no memories, so she knows nothing of these events."

Qu Zhen took a deep breath: "I understand. I’ll explain clearly to Xiaxia, she must handle this with care and not stimulate Liu Feifei."

"If necessary, have Sister Xiaxia take Liu Feifei to a psychologist, make sure she’s not neglected."

"Okay."

Qu Zhen nodded: "I got it."

Qu Zhen hung up and drove to the Liu family.

When he arrived, Liu Feifei was in distress.

The young girl had her hair loose, her face pale, and was crying with tears streaming.

"I didn’t, I said I really didn’t, I don’t know what’s going on? I don’t know these people..."

She cried out shrilly, seeming emotionally out of control: "I don’t know what’s happening, I really have no idea, don’t pressure me."

Qu Zhen saw the situation was bad, hurriedly calling out: "Xiaxia."

The Liu family, seeing Qu Zhen arrive, quickly abandoned their questioning of Liu Feifei and invited Qu Zhen inside.

Qu Zhen went up to Liu Feifei, trying to meet her gaze, and spoke softly: "Feifei, I am your sister’s boyfriend. If all goes well, I will be your brother-in-law."

Liu Feifei took a deep breath and softly called out: "Brother-in-law."

"Feifei, I believe you didn’t do those things."

Qu Zhen’s words caused Liu Feifei to burst into tears instantly.

She covered her face: "I really didn’t, I don’t understand what’s going on, I just fell asleep, and why did things turn out like this after waking up..."
