Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 356 Star's Doubt

It was nearing evening, and it was also a typhoon day, with no lights around.

The surroundings were rather dim.

Zhang Qiumei was already thinking about how Xingxing and Yueyue were dead.

Imagine this: one second you're thinking someone is dead, and the next second, that dead person emerges from the darkness and suddenly appears right in front of you.

How could you not be scared?

Zhang Qiumei was terrified and screamed, panting heavily.

Her scream startled all the military wives around her.

This also made Xingxing and Yueyue frown.

"Brother, this auntie is so strange. Is she saying we're ghosts?"

Xingxing's eyes scrutinized Zhang Qiumei, and she gave a soft "hmm" before pondering something.

"Madam Lin, what are you yelling about? How could you say these two children are ghosts?"

"They have shadows."

"Besides, ghosts are a feudal superstition, and you can't talk about them."

"Yeah yeah."

Not a ghost? There's a shadow?
Zhang Qiumei immediately looked over.

Although the light was dim at the time, there was still some light in the place where they were.

These rays also reflected the shadows behind the stars and the moon.

At this moment, another figure emerged from the darkness, almost startling Zhang Qiumei as well.

The figure that emerged was none other than Amber, who had returned with Xingxing and Yueyue.

Amber slowly stepped forward, shielding Xingxing and Yueyue behind her, her cold eyes fixed on Zhang Qiumei.

Zhang Qiumei covered her chest.

Therefore, these brother and sister are not ghosts.

Or is it a person?
This situation was even harder for Zhang Qiumei to accept than the fact that they were ghosts.

Because if it's a ghost, then it proves that the two children are dead.

But at this point, the two children are not ghosts, which means they are not dead!

Why, why didn't they die!

Zhang Qiumei barely managed to hold back and not rush forward to question Xingxing and Yueyue.

She can't ask; if she does, she'll be exposed.

Moreover, she needed to calm down at this moment.

The word "ghost" just now has already given me away a bit, so I can't say anything more.

Zhang Qiumei didn't have time to say anything, she turned around and ran away.

"This Qiu Mei is acting strangely."

The military wives didn't have much respect for Zhang Qiumei to begin with, but now that she's gone, the so-called Mrs. Lin is now being addressed by her first name.

"But aren't these Dr. Gu's two little children?"

"Yes, why did you come back from outside?"

Just then, Huijuan and Gou Dan also came out.

They called Xingxing and Yueyue home.

Xingxing and Yueyue returned to the Zhao family home, and Huijuan began preparing dinner at home.

Xingxing, on the other hand, had been sitting in a chair with her hands supporting her chin since she returned, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long pause, he seemed to have finally made a decision.

He got up and greeted Huijuan in the kitchen.

"Aunt Zhao, I want to call my mother."

"Are you going to make a phone call? Do you have to go now?" Huijuan looked at the sky outside; it was already dark.

However, things are alright within the military region; there's not much to worry about regarding safety.

After seeing Xingxing nod, she said, "Okay, then let your brother Gou Dan go with you."

"it is good."

So, accompanied by Gou Dan, Xingxing quickly arrived at the communications station. Upon arrival, she heard the soldier say that communication between Huansha Island and the outside world seemed to have been cut off.

Things are relatively okay on the island for now.

Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief; that's good.

That way I can call my parents.

Upon learning Xingxing's identity and that he wanted to call Dr. Yao Chungu at the county hospital, the soldier agreed.

They quickly helped me dial the county hospital, specifying that it was Dr. Gu's son looking for Dr. Gu.

So, at the county hospital, Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing heard from a nurse that the military region had called, saying that their son was looking for them.

"Did Xingxing call?" Gu Jianing frowned. Calculating the time, Xingxing and Yueyue had only just returned to the military region not long ago.

Why did you call?

"I'll go pick him up; maybe it's something urgent."

"Well, you go."

Soon, Sheng Zexi received a call.

“Dad, it’s me, Xingxing. Yueyue and I have returned to the military region. It’s just that…” Xingxing didn’t hesitate for long before telling them about their encounter with Zhang Qiumei and how Zhang Qiumei saw them and said they were ghosts.

Sheng Zexi understood almost immediately after Xingxing finished speaking.

His face darkened.

However, he didn't say much, but let Xingxing continue talking.

"...Dad, no one else in the military region could possibly know about what happened to Yueyue and me today."

"She probably couldn't possibly know."

"But judging from her expression, it seemed like she thought something bad would happen to Yueyue and me, or even... that we would die, or that Yueyue and I would become ghosts."

"That's why they were so scared and surprised when they saw me and Yueyue."

"Who would have known that Yueyue and I might die?"

"Since it's not just hearsay, then it must be me and Yueyue!"

Ultimately, the stars made their own judgment.

His little face was full of seriousness as he spoke his last words.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to revert to his childlike self, asking with a mix of nervousness and trepidation, "Dad, is my analysis correct?"

"Yes, Star, your analysis is correct."

"Xingxing, you're amazing. You can analyze things from such small details. You're very capable."

Xingxing never expected to receive praise from her father.

Upon hearing the praise, Xingxing's face flushed slightly, and she became a little shy.

"Okay, Dad knows about this."

"Ah."

Sheng Zexi gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

When they got back to the ward, he told Gu Jianing about it.

Gu Jianing's expression was not very good after hearing this.

Even her emotions fluctuated greatly. "If Zhang Qiumei said that, it must be related to her."

"What exactly is going on with Zhang Qiumei?"

"We've never provoked her, yet she's determined to kill Xingxing and Yueyue!"

"Damn it, it's really damned!"

"Ningning, don't get excited, take care of yourself." Sheng Zexi saw that Ningning was so angry, so he quickly went over to comfort her.

Sheng Zexi was naturally furious, after all, Xingxing and Yueyue had faced a life-or-death crisis today, and Xingxing and Yueyue were his and Ningning's flesh and blood.

Sheng Zexi was also desperately trying to control his emotions.

"Ningning, I'll talk to the boss about this and have him investigate in the direction of Zhang Qiumei. Don't worry, if she did it, she won't get away with it."

"Okay, Brother Xi, those who hurt Xingxing and Yueyue must not be let off the hook."

Gu Jianing has never been a saint.

She also knew that being lenient with the enemy was being cruel to herself.

So, since you've hurt her family and children, you have to pay the price!
