"You're right. I admit I'm biased." Qiao Yuan admitted and accepted the criticism with a humble heart.
"????"
This time, not only Gao Tao, but even the spirit in the mirror was dumbfounded. She was just making a casual remark.
"You're not angry?" The woman in the mirror asked.
Qiao Yuan shook his head and took a sip of hot water.
[Cultivation base +1]
"What you said makes sense. How could I be angry? I've always advocated freedom of speech. I'm not a dictator."
The woman in the mirror fell silent as she looked at Qiao Yuan, who was smiling kindly outside.
"I thought you would fly into a fit of rage out of humiliation and kill me."
Qiao Yuan waved his hand. "Rumors. They're all rumors. I don't believe in rumors. I also don't spread rumors."
Then, he stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the beautiful sunset and placed his right hand on the curtain.
"This is the prejudice you spirits have against us humans. Of course, I don't blame you. After all, humans are different."
"You can ask your childhood sweetheart about this. Ask him what he thinks of me."
The woman's head in the mirror turned and made a cracking sound. It moved towards Gao Tao, and Gao Tao's eyelids twitched in fear!
A wife who had reunited with her husband and a childhood sweetheart who had turned into a ghost after death were two completely different feelings.
One was to fly together and wait for a hundred years after death to find him.
The other was happening at the moment, and it was haunting him.
...
"Ah... Ah Zhen, this little brother is indeed a good person. I can guarantee this."
Gao Tao bit the bullet and told the truth.
The first time they met, he had knocked him flying and he had only asked for 100000. A mere 100000... It was an amount that he could even give him as a gift, but Qiao Yuan had forgiven him and even consoled him.
The second time they met, he had helped him solve a problem. Otherwise, he would not only be in prison, but his life would also be in danger.
He was a businessman and had met many people.
Human face, beast heart, beast in human clothing, sanctimonious, two-faced, double-faced, deceitful, deceiving the world...
He had seen all of these before!
However, Qiao Yuan could be said to be the most upright young man he had ever met.
It was just that he had no background.
...
After listening to Gao Tao's words, the woman in the mirror lowered her head. Gao Tao's heart trembled, and he silently turned the mirror to Qiao Yuan. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I apologize too,"
The woman's voice came from the mirror.
Thump thump thump.
A human head appeared and kowtowed three times to the coffee table.
Gao Tao was so scared that he grimaced in pain and clutched his chest tightly.
In the distance...
Qiao Yuan released his grip on the curtain and turned to look at the woman who had already entered the mirror.
His eyes flickered.
"I accept your apology."
"Since we've apologized to each other and know each other's background, we must be friends. For friends, the most important thing is to be sincerity."
"So... What else do you want to say?"
Qiao Yuan looked at the mirror quietly.
The sun was setting, and the brilliant afterglow shone through the window on the coffee table, reflecting a light golden luster. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was quite warm.
"I admit that I was the one who caused the first car accident. I blindfolded Gao Tao's eyes and caused the car to lose control."
The spirit in the mirror hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly.
Gao Tao's face was full of horror, and his body subconsciously leaned back. No wonder he suddenly felt that his vision went black that day. It turned out that she was the one behind it.
But why did it do that?
Perhaps sensing Gao Tao's confusion, the woman said in a low voice, "The sun was very bright that day. The sunlight was piercing. Gao Tao didn't wear sunglasses, so..."
"..."
"So you just want to use your hands to block the sun?"
Qiao Yuan said in a deep voice.
The mirror spirit nodded. "There was no one on that road," she said. "And no one would expect someone to run straight into the road without looking at the car."
"No one would be stupid enough to not look at the car."
The woman in the mirror emphasized.
Qiao Yuan was speechless.
Recalling that day, he realized that he was indeed absent-minded and did not observe his surroundings due to a moment of negligence. This reason... Was valid.
The atmosphere gradually became quiet.
Seeing that Qiao Yuan's face didn't change much, the spirit in the mirror let out a sigh of relief. "I'm the one who caused the accident," she said.
"As for the reason... That passer-by was not human. I was afraid it would hurt Gao Tao."
Gao Tao was stunned and couldn't calm down for a long time. It... Did she do all this for me?
Gao Tao felt deeply ashamed when he thought of his behaviour.
His conscience was condemning him.
In a sense, he had betrayed his wife, his "wife of his past life", and also let down his childhood sweetheart.
I'm really nothing!
"I'm sorry, Ah Zhen. I really didn't know it was like this. I'm sorry..."
Gao Tao lowered his head, his face full of regret.
The mirror rippled again, and a pale hand slowly reached out from the middle. Then, driven by some strange power, it lifted the mirror and turned to Gao Tao.
"As long as you're alive..." She said.
For a moment, the human and the spirit revealed their true feelings.
...
Whoosh~
Qiao Yuan closed the curtains at that moment, and the hall instantly darkened.
Gao Tao raised his head and looked at Qiao Yuan in confusion, his remorseful face full of confusion.
"Humans and ghosts are different,: Qiao Yuan explained with a smile." It'll be a bad influence if the paparazzi take photos of us.
"You're a businessman. Your face is very important."
Gao Tao thought for a moment. It seemed to make sense. Most people in the secular world could not understand this kind of feeling.
"Since all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, it's easy to handle."
"Old Gao, you're already in your forties. You should consider finding another partner. I think Miss Ah Zhen is not bad. She has done so much for you. I sincerely wish the two of you well."
"Today is better than another day. I saw the Almanac today. It's suitable for marriage. I'll be thick-skinned and be a witness. You have to get married today!"
Qiao Yuan approached Gao Tao step by step with a smile on his face, showing his approval.
"How about this? Since we're fated to meet because of the sunglasses, I happen to have a pair here. You can wear it."
Qiao Yuan handed the sunglasses on the coffee table to Gao Tao.
Gao Tao didn't think much and put it on directly.
Qiao Yuan's smile grew even wider, revealing his white teeth.
"Newbies, give me your hands."
Gao Tao hesitated for a while, but in the end, he put his hand on Qiao Yuan's hand, and so did the spirit in the mirror.
Grabbing their hands, Qiao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She couldn't escape this time!
"Next is to witness a miracle ..."
Before Qiao Yuan could finish his sentence, Gao Tao immediately pulled back his hand and patted his head.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get the ring!"
...
Qiao Yuan was stunned for three seconds.
This Gao Tao really treated this place as a wedding hall. This kind of person was really a scumbag.
His wife had just died, and he had already gotten together with the 'wife of his previous life'. Even after knowing her true identity, he still dared to have a seamless connection.
However, this was Gao Tao's private matter. He was not a judge, so it was not convenient for him to ask.
Then, he turned to look at the woman in the mirror.
"It's just the two of us now, so it's time to tell the truth."
The atmosphere in the air started to become tense.
The woman in the mirror replied, "I've said everything I wanted to say."
It sensed that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw its hand, but Qiao Yuan grabbed it tightly.
"No, you haven't finished."
Qiao Yuan picked up the family portrait with his left hand and placed it in front of the mirror. Then, he took out his phone and opened a news article.
[Car accident at Four-Corner village]
"Can you explain to me why the driver of the tourist bus suddenly blacked out, just like when Gao Tao hit me?"
The woman's arm in the mirror started to turn abnormally pale, and Qiao Yuan's body was also gradually changing color.
"Also... Can you explain why Gao Tao's wife and her son's names were among the eight people who died?"
The woman's arm in the mirror started to lose its temperature, as if it was a dead person.
"Are you going to say that they have the same name?"
The woman's hand gradually became cold, like ice in a cold pool.
"Shush... Don't lie, in the Death Horn village... I've seen the mother and son."
At that moment, Qiao Yuan's body exuded a golden light that was dazzling and eye-catching, as if he were a God.
It was filled with unparalleled dignity, nobility, and dominance!
At that moment, the woman in the mirror let out a shrill scream.
"Despicable human, you're abusing your power to take personal revenge. You said you wouldn't get angry, you said you had the freedom of speech..."
The spirit roared madly.
Qiao Yuan revealed a row of shiny, golden teeth.
"I agree with freedom of speech, but I can't guarantee that you'll still be free after you speak."
