章 253: Chapter 253: Can Ghosts Get Sick?

When she returned to the family compound in the evening, Si Chen was still not back from work. Tong Yao was almost asleep by the time he arrived home past nine in the evening.

I can't believe Tong Sikui would put on such a show pretending to be possessed by the spirit of our grandfather. He really did outdo himself."
