My Tenant is a Female Ghost
Not long ago, Huang Jiangliu was a big winner in life, standing at the peak of his success. He had two adorable children and a beautiful wife. But today, his life felt like it had plunged into hell; his wife had inexplicably passed away overnight, and he was already making arrangements for her funeral. Without his wife, he feared nothing but could not let go of his two children or the enemy who had caused her death. He was truly desperate, hiding in the bathroom and crying silently.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Huang Jiangliu wiped away his tears and asked, "Who is it?"
"Boss Huang, it's me, Bai Zhuo."
In his despair, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Huang Jiangliu's heart. He hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Bai, Mr. Bai, you haven't left?"
Bai Zhuo sighed. "Ah... Boss Huang, do you know Dean Ouyang from Good Baby Orphanage?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Jiangliu immediately understood the situation and showed an awkward expression. "Just now, I was preparing for a backup plan for my two children. Dean Ouyang knows a Yin-Yang master; it turns out that it's you... Mr. Bai, if this is difficult for you, you don't have to worry about me..."
Bai Zhuo waved his hand. "Boss Huang, no need for that. You really called the right person. Regardless of the outcome, I will help with this matter since you know Dean Ouyang."
Huang Jiangliu felt utterly crushed. He thought to himself that not only was he the richest man in Ningcheng, but he was also someone who could rank among international billionaires. Yet here he was, finding that his status meant less than that of an orphanage director in front of Bai Zhuo. He felt disheartened. However, no matter what, he finally found some hope within himself. "Mr. Bai, whatever you need, just tell me—I will do it myself!"
"Boss Huang, remember this: I feel that almost no one around you can be trusted, including that driver named Zhao."
Huang Jiangliu frowned and wanted to defend that person for a moment but suddenly recalled something and silently nodded to indicate his understanding.
"Boss Huang, if you trust me, let's put on a show together."
"Mr. Bai, just say the word! As long as it can save my life, I would even give you my position as the chairman of Wanbao Group!"
"Heh heh, Boss Huang is too kind; all you need to do is..."
Bai Zhuo spent the night at Huang Jiangliu's house. During this time, Ouyang Shirei called Huang Jiangliu to check on things. It was only when Bai Zhuo answered the phone that she felt relieved, advising him to be careful, resembling a dutiful wife reminding her husband as he went out. This made Bai Zhuo ponder whether he should make a move on Ouyang Shirei. From the attitude and behavior of Qin Mother in the past, it was evident that she did not dislike Bai Zhuo; on the contrary, she had given him a perfect score for support! It all depended on Ouyang Shirei's own attitude.
"Just... brother... so annoying," Bai Zhuo muttered to himself. At that moment, a woman in stockings approached and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Zhuo turned around and was surprised to see Zhang Ni. What was she doing here?
Zhang Ni feigned ignorance, saying, "Hmph, this isn't a place for you to find a match. What are you doing here?" Bai Zhuo was somewhat baffled; it was early in the morning—what had this woman eaten? She spat fire at him with her words. Bai Zhuo replied irritably, "You gold digger, I'm here for the same reason you are. Are you out of your mind? Do I need to explain?"
The term "gold digger" struck her like a blade, and she raised her right hand, ready to slap Bai Zhuo. However, Bai Zhuo would not let her succeed. With a strong scent of perfume wafting through the air, he quickly caught Zhang Ni's hand before it could reach him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ni began punching and kicking at Bai Zhuo while shouting, "Help! I'm being harassed!" At that moment, people started coming into the front hall one after another. Huang Jiangliu had few relatives; most of those who came were businessmen with varying degrees of connections, eager to socialize. Seeing the scene before them, they all gathered around with smiles.
A man with a protruding belly angrily stepped forward and shouted, "You want to die! You dare touch my woman?" He pushed Bai Zhuo's hand away and gently embraced Zhang Ni, saying, "Nini, don’t be afraid; I'm here!"
Bai Zhuo sneered inwardly. This woman had been matchmaking with him just days ago and now had hooked up with a rich guy. Had he been blind to even consider marrying someone like her? He snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and turned to leave. Nearby people began to murmur.
"This guy thinks he can flirt with President Zhu's woman just because he's related to Huang Jiangliu? He's only a distant relative; if he were Chairman Huang's real son, would he dare?"
"Who isn't? Chairman Huang is of high status; I didn't expect such disgraceful relatives."
...
Zhang Ni had mingled in society for many years and played the victim convincingly. Coupled with Bai Zhuo's scruffy appearance—his stubbly beard and thick glasses made him look old-fashioned—many onlookers genuinely believed that he was the one harassing Zhang Ni and showed expressions of indignation.
President Zhu with his bulging belly exclaimed, "You think you can just walk away after touching my woman? Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you're a distant relative of Chairman Huang!" The crowd grew more chaotic as they chimed in, "Exactly! You think you can just touch President Zhu's woman and leave?" "This guy must have never been with a woman before; seeing a beauty has gone straight to his head!" "Haha! A broke loser thinking he can get lucky? I see he's just here to mooch off the food!"
"Hey, hey, look at him. No one would like him anyway; he’s probably still a virgin!"
Bai Zhuo gritted his teeth, wanting to lash out. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but reason held him back. He explained, "That woman was about to slap me; I just blocked it..."
"Oh? Slap you? Why would she slap you? If you didn't harass her, why would she slap you? Your explanation is just an excuse; stop pretending!"
The crowd grew more raucous, with many people acting like rowdy townsfolk, spitting at Bai Zhuo from a distance. Meanwhile, Zhang Ni nestled in Zhu Huiguang's arms and began to cry just perfectly, prompting several people to roll up their sleeves as if Bai Zhuo had committed an unforgivable act and they were determined to beat him up.
Bai Zhuo found it hard to defend himself, his eyes reddening with anger. He wondered if those people were jealous of his "status" or if there was another reason for their mockery. They started taunting him again: "Oh, your eyes are red from anger! Want to hit someone? Come on! Let’s hurt each other! Not afraid of you at all!"
Bai Zhuo knew that if he retaliated now, it would only provoke the crowd further; he would be outnumbered and practically asking for death. He pointed at Zhang Ni and shouted angrily, "What kind of eyes do you people have? Do you think I would go after a woman like her? Am I blind?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in outrage, firing back at Bai Zhuo: "You pathetic loser! Your mouth stinks worse than a pit! You’ve probably never even touched a woman before, yet you dare look down on President Zhu's woman? Who knew there were still scumbags like you in the world? Truly disgusting!"
"Exactly! What right do you have to look down on Ni Ni? If you don’t give us an explanation today, humph! I, Zhu Huiguang, am not someone easy to bully!" Zhu Huiguang held Zhang Ni protectively, looking all tender and caring, unaware that Zhang Ni was secretly smiling in his embrace.
Bai Zhuo was furious; it was supposed to be a fine morning, but this shameless woman Zhang Ni had made it impossible for him to save face. If looks could kill, the crowd would have died countless times over!
Just when Bai Zhuo found himself unable to argue back and the situation escalated further, a charming figure squeezed through the crowd. She approached and hugged Bai Zhuo's arm, asking, "Bai, what’s going on? Can we talk calmly? Why are you arguing with everyone?" The newcomer was none other than Ouyang Shirei!
