NovelEnglishChapter 731: Aunt, I’ll Call Uncle for Dinner
Chen Meilin had been willing to give Master Chi’s talismans to this niece before. Although she still held a slight grudge, it wasn’t good to keep bickering with a junior. Thinking of how this niece had suffered an undeserved calamity and had been hospitalized because her daughter had provoked an evil spirit, the anger in Chen Meilin’s heart dissipated a little.
Besides, she had to give Father Meng face no matter what, so she immediately had him push Jiang Xue in.
Father Meng said lovingly, “Xue, look, your aunt isn’t a petty person!”
Jiang Xue immediately nodded. “Thank you, Aunt! Thank you!”

Father Meng was about to help Jiang Xue into a chair, but Jiang Xue hurriedly said, “Uncle, I have a crutch. I can do it myself, I can do it myself!”
She looked at Chen Meilin fawningly as she spoke.
Chen Meilin also knew of Jiang Xue’s injuries. A fall from the second floor sounded serious, but Jiang Xue had actually been quite lucky back then. When she was thrown down, she caught on a tree branch. In the end, she had a minor fracture in her left calf, but she was fine and could walk.
When Chen Meilin was scooping out the rice, Father Meng pretended to be affectionate as he took the bowl from Chen Meilin’s hand. However, when the two of them touched, Father Meng’s pupils contracted and his face twitched violently. A black aura seeped out of Father Meng’s hand.
Father Meng reacted quickly and took advantage of the moment before Chen Meilin looked over to hide the hatred and strange chill in his eyes. “Meilin, I don’t feel like eating right now. I’ll… take a shower first. I’ll eat later! You guys eat first!”
Chen Meilin was stunned. “I’ve already scooped out the rice for you. Why don’t you eat first?”
Father Meng no longer had his usual benevolence at that moment. His eyebrows were cold and he looked irritated. Afraid that Chen Meilin would touch him again, Father Meng turned around and left. “I’ll go take a shower first!”
Jiang Xue thought she was being considerate as she advised, “Aunt, Uncle must be tired after working all day! Let Uncle take a shower. I’ll go help call him later!”
Chen Meilin hummed and frowned slightly. She felt that something was off. She looked at Father Meng’s back and saw that it was a little stiff. He was a little slow when he walked, and it didn’t look human.

Besides, Old Meng had been moving normally before this. Chen Meilin felt that she was pessimistic, and needed to change her way of thinking.
Since Father Meng planned to take a shower first, Chen Meilin didn’t say anything else. She had wanted to share the news that their daughter might wake up in a few days with Old Meng, but who would have thought that his face would suddenly turn cold?
“Okay, let’s eat first!” Chen Meilin looked at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue looked around. After all, that evil spirit had left too deep an impression last time. Jiang Xue still felt a little scared and cold. She asked, “Aunt… Uncle said that the Master drove that thing away?”
Chen Meilin subconsciously thought that Father Meng didn’t want his niece to worry too much. After all, ordinary people sometimes got afraid when they heard ghost stories, let alone seeing a ghost with their own eyes and knowing that it could harm people.
Chen Meilin didn’t want Jiang Xue to worry or be scared. With Master Chi around, the matter should be resolved soon, so she nodded.
Jiang Xue heaved a sigh of relief. Knowing that the Meng family could no longer drag her down, she looked at Chen Meilin with increasing enthusiasm. After dinner, Jiang Xue took the initiative to say, “Aunt, I’m full. I’ll go call Uncle for dinner!”
Without waiting for Chen Meilin to refuse, Jiang Xue immediately went upstairs on her crutch.
