Aladdin Clam - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I was taken back to the Shen Family.

On the way there, I seized every second to make a wish to the Clam.

“My first wish is to have an unlimited number of wishes!”

The Clam roared on the spot: [There’s a whole gold mine sitting right in front of you, and you don’t even know to take a bite?]

[Why are you trying to exploit a bug with me?!]

I couldn’t help asking, “Is he really your son?”

The Clam’s voice dropped. [Yes… When I left, he was only three.]

“Then why don’t you tell him his mom is a clam spirit?”

Then again… how exactly did a clam give birth to a child?

The driver kept sneaking glances at me through the rearview mirror.

Shen Shixian was busy on his phone the whole time. I knew he was digging up my background.

Whatever.

I was an abandoned orphan. After the director passed away, I was the only person I had left in the world.

When you’ve got nothing, you’ve got nothing to hide.

If he could help me find my biological parents while he was at it, I’d honestly have to get down and kowtow to him.

When I got out of the car, the grand mansion in front of me left me speechless.

In my head, I cried out, “Clam spirit, how could you bear to give up such a luxurious villa and go live in that muddy, weed-choked river?”

The Clam bristled. [How many times do I have to tell you? I am not a clam spirit!]

[I was dumped there after I died.]

Dumped after she died??

Wasn’t that a murder case?!

I shuddered in fright.

Shen Shixian happened to turn his head just then. Thinking I had a guilty conscience, he grabbed my wrist.

“Until I get to the bottom of this, you’re not going anywhere.”

I looked up in terror.

How was I supposed to say this?

What, tell him that his mom had been eaten clean by fish at the bottom of the river and her soul was now attached to this Clam?

“Then… do you want me to help you call the police?”

The Clam said, [The Shen Family must have called the police long ago. But the killer… still hasn’t been found, right?]

I hurriedly asked the important question. “Then what about my wishes?”

She actually sounded a little embarrassed.

“Now that my son is here, whatever you want, just ask him directly.”

Did I dare ask him??

With that murderous look on his face, he clearly saw me as suspect number one!

This was all my fault!

I was greedy instead of lustful!

I actually got tricked by a Clam!

If I’d handed her over to the authorities back then, maybe I could’ve gotten a five-hundred-yuan reward…

The Clam was still trying to comfort me. [My son respects me very much. Don’t worry. He’ll definitely satisfy your wishes.]

Like hell I wasn’t going to worry.

Did she not see that he had already arranged for two bodyguards to stick to me like glue?

As soon as we entered the house, the Clam started urging me nonstop inside my head.

[Hurry and ask him for me. All these years… has he been doing well?]

I had no choice but to brace myself and turn to Shen Shixian.

“Dandan, your mom wants me to ask you if you’ve been doing well all these years.”

Shen Shixian’s gaze sharpened.

“If my mother asked you to say that, then why doesn’t she come ask me herself?”

I’d like that too!

Was I supposed to pull a Clam out of my pocket right in front of you?

Wouldn’t you send me straight to a psychiatric hospital?
