Although Lydia Patterson had already experienced a "ghost sighting" once, facing a person who was supposed to be dead still made her blood freeze for a moment.
The old man in the traditional outfit remained unaware and floated joyfully over to his grandson’s side, swaying back and forth, "I heard your mom bragging to her friends today again. As expected of my big grandson, getting into Capital University purely on your own merits. That’s the way! There’s no need to listen to your dad about studying abroad, our first-class universities in the country are in no way inferior to those foreign schools..."
Lydia felt a twitch in her forehead and realized that the old man seemed somehow different from the strict grandfather he knew before.
Before Lydia could fully process this, two more old ladies drifted over. If she remembered correctly, one of them seemed to be her great-grandmother?
Great-grandma walked over and immediately pulled the old man in the traditional outfit aside. "Why are you blocking the child at the door? Aren’t you aware of the heavy shadow energy on you? You should hurry and reincarnate given your age. Aeliana came up a while ago, and you didn’t dare to meet her. Once she’s reincarnated, you won’t ever see her again."
Great-grandma didn’t seem much older than the old man in the traditional outfit, but he instinctively bent over, "Mom, you died before me. Why aren’t you in a hurry to go down? Why are you always pushing me?"
"Don’t I have to guard this family? Who asked you to leave Capital Metropolitan and develop in Sea City because of those old men? Now you can’t go back."
"Oh mom, it’s been so long since that happened, and you’re still nagging. Besides, our family is developing pretty well in Sea City, with a successful grandson."
As the two old men and women chatted, another old lady suddenly spoke up, "Sister-in-law, why does little Lydia look so strange, standing still at the entrance?"
This old lady was undoubtedly their great-aunt. Lydia, although she couldn’t remember, did know of such a person.
The great-aunt lost her husband early and lived with her elder brother and sister-in-law. She was long gone by the time the Patterson branch moved to Sea City. Lydia never expected her great-grandmother and this great-aunt to continue following their family.
Perhaps Lydia’s reaction was too stiff, as the speaking great-aunt squinted her eyes and moved closer.
"Why does it seem like little Lydia can see us?"
That single sentence immediately made the two endlessly arguing old men and women turn their heads to stare at Lydia.
Lydia’s expression instantly froze.
But it was precisely this expression, combined with suddenly locking eyes with them, that made the three old figures in front of her delight.
"Oh wow, little Lydia can actually see us!"
"It’s true, just like Aeliana last time."
"Grandson, I’m grandpa. Can you see grandpa?"
Lydia: ...
At this moment, he realized why she suddenly saw several ancestors...
It had to be Scarlett Jennings causing trouble!
Lydia never expected Scarlett Jennings to be so impolite.
She was clearly determined to pursue her sincerely.
If Scarlett wasn’t interested, that was fine, but she went as far as to make him see ghosts...
Even though the ghosts were her own ancestors.
...
Not to mention Lydia endured her most tormenting night ever, on the other end, Scarlett Jennings returned to the banquet and was pulled aside by Alicia Sharp for a private chat.
"The talisman you sold me last time worked!"
Alicia Sharp spoke with a hint of excitement.
