Chapter 414: Chapter 418: Pen Fairy (17)

Xiao Xiao, the Little Ghost Baby, shook its head slowly under Su Li’s fierce gaze, gesturing with its fingers.

"You’re saying you’ve already repaid the kindness of your mother’s blood and flesh and are unwilling to watch over her anymore?"

The Little Ghost Baby nodded repeatedly, confirming that what Su Li had said was precisely its own thoughts.

Su Li withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, indicating that she understood.

Had the little spook not learned its lesson and stubbornly insisted on staying with Shu Ya, then she wouldn’t want to play the fool or the kind-hearted ghost anymore.

She would have let its soul shatter to pieces.

It seemed the little spook had a small brain capacity, yet it wasn’t a complete mush.

When it came to innocent babies, Su Li had shown a soft spot.

The Little Ghost Baby’s soul had not yet completely dissipated, and with a simple wave of her hand, she could easily bring it back together.

However, if the Little Ghost Baby remained deluded and entangled in the impure blood relations, she would not interfere in matters that did not concern her.

Her leniency was reserved only for the Little Ghost Baby. As for adults, they had to bear the consequences of their own choices.

Also, for the Little Ghost Baby, her kindness was not unconditional; everything had constraints.

And the only criterion for that condition was her own comfort.

For instance, seeing Shu Ya crying her heart out made Su Li feel comfortable.

Likewise, it cheered her up to see Cheng Bin in utter agony.

In a good mood, she decided to give Xiao Xiao, the Little Ghost Baby, another chance.

With a wave of her hand, a washbasin-sized portal to a Different Space-Time opened up in mid-air between them.

Su Li said, "Go and be reborn. In your next life, you will have parents and family who truly love and cherish you."

The Little Ghost Baby nodded, looked back at Shu Ya through the window one more time, and with no sign of reluctance, jumped into the portal.

The debt of parental flesh and blood had been paid with everything he had in his previous life; now, in the next life, he could fully love his new parents and relatives.

That was truly good.

Shu Ya and Cheng Bin had no idea what they had lost.

Suddenly, a layer of black fog clouded Su Li’s eyes just as the cycle of reincarnation opened up, and she glimpsed the Little Ghost Baby’s original Life Chart.

This child was meant to repay kindness; he was destined to become a philanthropic entrepreneur.

Not only did he carve out his own success, but he had also taken the Shu Family’s corporation soaring to new, untouchable heights.

From a young age, Cheng Bin and Shu Ya had been enjoying the blessings of offspring.

Also, due to the child’s generosity, the couple was assured a life of wealth and smooth sailing in their next incarnation.

But now, they had destroyed it all with their own hands.

Though ignorance sometimes seems to lead to a happier life.

Unawareness can indeed be a blessing.

------------

Shu Ya began to dream on the night she watched her husband being taken away by the police.

In the dream, her child had not died.

Because of Cheng Bin’s conscience, the child had not been sold, and when the truth later emerged, he was immensely relieved.

Because of this, Shu Ya and Cheng Bin had a falling out over divorce, but no real harm was done, and she quickly forgave her husband after his sweet talk.

Cheng Bin, guilty over his wrongdoing, was extremely good to his wife and son.

The family of three was happy and harmonious, and Shu Ya felt blessed for a lifetime.

A woman had everything she could ever want.

She had a husband who loved her, a filial son, incalculable wealth, and the envious gaze of everyone around her, as well as a respected status.

Even after she woke up, the feeling of satisfaction from her dream lingered for a long time.

If possible, she would rather remain asleep and never wake up.

Shu Ya stretched her hand into the air, as if by doing so, she could grasp everything she had experienced in her sleep.

"Sleep, sleep... I want to sleep," Shu Ya thought of every possible way to fall back to sleep.

Everything in the dream was just too beautiful.

Similar to Shu Ya’s experience, although he was at the police station, he too was immersed in the same beautiful dream at the very same moment.

One misstep and all subsequent steps lead to further errors, Heaven and Hell are often just a thought apart.

They could have had a good life just like in the dream, but everything had been ruined by their own hands.

Shu Ya never had children again in her lifetime, as if that miscarriage had exhausted all her good fortune and blessings.

Her mental state affected her, and she made several wrong decisions at the company, leaving the once-flourishing public enterprise barely clinging to life.

Cheng Bin’s fate wasn’t much better; he was brutally worn down in prison, and by the time he was released, he looked like an old man in his seventies, despite being of middle-aged.

As for Su Li, after sending away the little ghost baby, she settled down in a feng shui treasure land at Mingrui University, attending classes and enjoying the gossip among the young male and female students, living comfortably and contentedly.

Later, she encountered several former beauty queens at the university who had returned to study.

After the previous ordeal, each had clearly matured a lot, and their temperaments had become much more restrained.

Whether it was sheer misfortune or not, their courage had diminished to the point where it matched that of a mouse.

No longer courting danger, they absolutely refused to participate in any activity that had even a thirty percent chance of risk.

Actually, this was quite good. What’s wrong with being alive?

Shu Ya sat in the car, absentmindedly watching pedestrians through the window.

On holidays, the city was always particularly crowded.

The traffic light at the intersection had turned green a while ago, yet the cars in front had barely moved a few meters.

"President Shu, there’s a traffic jam up ahead...."

Shu Ya nodded vaguely and said casually, "No matter, it’s just a small meeting, tell them to wait."

Her gaze fell on the kids outside the window, and she couldn’t help thinking, if her own baby were still around, he’d be their age by now.

In the dream, what was he doing at the age of those kids outside?

It seemed like he had already won several prestigious awards.

Suddenly, Shu Ya’s pupils constricted as her gaze fixed intently on one of the children.

The car door opened, and the driver in front turned around in surprise and called out, "President Shu, you....."

Shu Ya was deaf to any sound around her, that child, he was...

Shu Ya ran across the street as if mad, then threw herself in front of the boy.

He was an incredibly beautiful boy, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the son she’d dreamed had grown up.

The five or six-year-old boy was terrified by the sudden spectacle before him.

Inexplicably, a premonition rose within Shu Ya’s heart that this child was her own, the one who had not had a chance to grow up.

Shu Ya quickly pulled up the young boy’s sleeve, revealing a crescent moon-shaped red birthmark on his wrist.

Joy erupted on her face; yes, she was right, he was her child.
