Chapter 348 - 348 The Truth
348 The Truth
They both fell silent. Perhaps Linlin would never grow up. The blood in her body was like a volcano that had been accumulating for years, waiting for the moment to erupt.
When there was a piece of land that was struck thin enough, blood would gush out like magma and take the child’s life.
Qiao Yue replied softly after a long time, “Of course, you will grow up.”
“Then I want to be a police officer and beat up all the bad guys.” Linlin said with a smile, her small face filled with joy. “Just like Sister Lin Jie, she can cure and save people.”
“That’s good. Being a doctor is very good. I hope that the world can be like what Linlin wished, that there will never be illness.” Qiao Yue said with a nod.
Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue and then at Linlin, sighing in his heart. Why was this child so unfortunate?
After the merry-go-round, they went to the haunted house. Surprisingly, Linlin was the least afraid of ghosts among the three.
Qiao Jing looked at all kinds of blood and bones in disgust. He would still be shocked when he saw an NPC.
Although Qiao Yue wasn’t that scared, she would still scream when she was suddenly attacked by a broken hand or something.
In contrast, the young Linlin stood at the front of the team leading the two adults. She would even greet the NPCs when they met.
Qiao Yue was a little impressed with this kid.
Qiao Jing stood at the end of the line, protecting Qiao Yue.
He suddenly thought about how he would react if Qiao Yue hid in his arms out of fear.
All the thinking was useless because Qiao Yue would stand in place when she was scared. She would only pat her chest and not shrink into his arms.
Qiao Jing saw that Linlin was not afraid at all and asked, “Linlin, why aren’t you afraid?”
Linlin shook her head. “I’m not afraid because I might be neighbors with these ghost soon. Sister Lin Jie said that if a person dies, they might become a ghost in the haunted house and play with the visitors.”
Qiao Yue felt her eyes burn but she still smiled and touched Linlin’s head. “Does little Linlin like haunted houses?”
Linlin nodded. “That way, I will be able to scare them, but I won’t hurt them.”
Linlin made a face and the two of them laughed.
Just like that, Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing took Linlin to the last stop, the Ferris wheel.
Just as the three of them were queuing, Su Yan ran over from a distance.
Su Yan looked at Qiao Jing and said, “Second young master, there’s an emergency meeting. It’s about a domestic project. It’s related to our company’s recent listing.”
Qiao Yue had a bad feeling after Qiao Jing followed Su Yan out.
But she still took Linlin on the Ferris wheel.
Sitting on the Ferris wheel, Qiao Yue looked at the scenery below distractedly.
She was looking for Qiao Jing, who had left with Su Yan, but to no avail.
“Is Brother Qiao Yue looking for Brother Qiao Jing?” Linlin’s tender child’s voice sounded.
“Yes.” Qiao Yue replied distractedly when she suddenly realized that she was here today to fulfill Linlin’s wish.
“I’m sorry, Linlin. It’s my fault. I was distracted.”
“It’s okay, brother. Do you like Brother Qiao Jing?” Linlin’s eyes lit up.
Qiao Yue almost spat out the food in her mouth.
“Because when I was looking at you, you would secretly look at Brother Qiao Jing. When Brother Qiao Jing left just now, you were also a little worried, so…”
Qiao Yue scratched her head. “Linlin is so young. How do you know so much?”
“This was what Sister Chengcheng told me. She said that this is how it is for two people to like each other. But Sister Chengcheng is gone. Has she been at the director’s office this whole time? Now the director is also missing. Did he take Sister Chengcheng with him?”
The girl named Chengcheng had long since died in the basement. She was only sixteen years old, but she gave birth to that b*stard’s child before she was brutally killed.
“Brother Qiao Yue, do you know where Sister Chengcheng went?”
Qiao Yue stroked Linlin’s head and said, “Sister Chengcheng is sick, so she has gone to another place for treatment. The director did something very bad, so he has to stay in prison.”
Linlin smiled. “That’s great. No girls will get hurt anymore.”
The truth was too cruel. Qiao Yue also didn’t want to tell Linlin that she was already counting down her life.
Many of her organs were slowly failing, and her blood flow was also slowing down. However, the excitement of her wish being fulfilled lit up her lovely little face, making her look like a normal child.
