Chapter 40: The Dong Family's Xiaowan

The morning after returning from the Tianshan Mountains to Wushi, Li Jingwei embarked on a journey back to Puhai, imagining the scene after his grandfather's recovery.

It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things;

Thinking back to his original decision, and then successfully capturing the Red Flame Snake, Li Jingwei was also secretly happy in his heart. If you had given up when you heard that the Red Flame Snake was difficult to find, you would definitely not have today's results.

Therefore, to find hope in despair, even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must strive to achieve it. This experience is also a hone for Li Jingwei on his own growth path.

This time, in the stone chamber at the bottom of the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains, he learned that there are still twelve demons in this world, and he must find the crystal skull they entrust in order to find and completely destroy them. So far, he may be the only one who knows this secret, which also makes him feel a kind of responsibility, a responsibility to destroy the twelve demons and protect humanity.

If what Muraki of the Black Dragon Society said was true, then the crystal skull on the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty might be one of the remaining twelve crystal skulls. Therefore, he had to find this treasure map and find out what was going on on the shipwreck.

For the person who taught the Dong family in the hidden door at the Jade Emperor International Hotel, Li Jingwei was not worried that the other party would retaliate. Because he is now a member of the Xuanyuan Dragon League, the people of the Dong family are the first to break the rules, even if they teach them a lesson, they have nothing to say.

Last night, I had a long talk with Zhang Yuanpeng, and Zhang Yuanpeng also mentioned that the Xuanyuan Dragon League now has a lot of opinions about the Dong family.

According to the rules established by the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance and the Hidden Gate, the Hidden Gate is not allowed to interfere in secular affairs. However, in recent years, the Dong family and some secular families in Huaxia have come too closely, and even helped out, which has violated the rules.

Therefore, this time Li Jingwei taught the people of the Dong family, and the Xuanyuan Dragon League was also happy to see it.

After arriving at the airport in Wushi, Li Jingwei waved goodbye to Meng Kai, who drove him.

"Uncle Meng, when I come back from the United States during the winter vacation, I will bring you a few bottles of whiskey, and we will have a good drink. Li Jingwei said to Meng Kai before parting. Since they made an appointment to go to Wudang Mountain together, the two will definitely meet.

"Haha... Jingwei, then it's decided, Uncle Meng, I'm just waiting to drink the wine you brought back. Meng Kai said happily. Because Meng Kai still had to make some preparations for Zhang Longcheng to come to Wushi, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. He patted Li Jingwei on the shoulder, and the two parted.

After entering the terminal building, Li Jingwei did not go through the security check immediately, but walked into the bathroom first. For the sake of safety, the special incubator containing the Red Flame Snake was directly placed into the Sumeru ring by him.

This is the first time he has used the Sumeru ring, and he is a little unsure if he will be able to pass through the security check. But there is always a first time in everything, and how can you know if you don't try.

When entering the security checkpoint, Li Jingwei began to be a little worried, and was still thinking about what excuse to explain if he failed the security check.

However, the security process went surprisingly smoothly. When he passed through the security checkpoint, the X-ray security inspection machine did not have any abnormal reaction, which made Li Jingwei breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

Since there was still nearly an hour before the registration time, Li Jingwei came to the VIP waiting hall of Longhua Airlines and asked the staff for financial newspapers such as "Huaxia Finance" and "Financial Daily" to look through them.

Longhua Airlines is one of the three largest airlines in China, and this VIP lounge is about 200 square meters, and the decoration is low-key and luxurious.

This year, the global stock market has shown a bull market, and the Chinese stock market has also risen sharply. These newspapers are also full of optimistic judgments of securities analysts and experts about the future. The China AMC stock index has risen from 1,800 points to 4,000 points, and some experts have even shouted that "10,000 points are in sight, and 20,000 points are in anticipation." slogan.

Li Jingwei has been paying close attention to the economic development of the United States, China, and other major countries. He noted that defaults in the U.S. home mortgage market were already increasing rapidly, and that financial institutions were accumulating bad debts to alarming levels. Under such circumstances, the US economy is likely to have a crisis in the short term of one year or two years in the longest, and the stock market will inevitably collapse.

Although China's economic development is very stable, the United States is the world's largest economy after all, and once the U.S. stock market crashes and falls, it will inevitably affect the whole world. While the stock market may continue to rise in the near term, it is likely to see a significant downward correction in a year or two. Therefore, Li Jingwei also laughed at the so-called '10,000 points'.

Li Jingwei quickly flipped through these newspapers, and he had no idea of continuing to read them in depth. He looked up and saw that in the corner of the VIP lounge, there was actually a grand piano, which seemed to be of the Steinway brand, and his hands immediately itched.

He has been playing the piano almost every day in the United States for several years. After returning to China in the past few days, I have been running around for my grandfather's treatment, and I have not had the opportunity to relax and play the piano for a while. Now, when he saw a good piano there, he was a little eager to try it.

In addition, after obtaining the Red Flame Snake, Li Jingwei was in a good mood, and he always felt that there was always a strong feeling of pleasure in his heart that needed to be vented.

Li Jingwei looked around and found that there were not many passengers in the VIP room, so he walked to the service desk and asked the staff, and after learning that he could play the piano, he walked quickly to the piano and sat down. Soon, Richard Clayderman's famous piano piece "Destiny" flowed through Li Jingwei's fingertips.

After the realm was improved, Li Jingwei was more sensitive to sound, and his control of muscles was more delicate and calm. From the moment he pressed the first button, Li Jingwei found that his fingers moved with his heart, and his fingering was skillful and exquisite. He has more than ten years of piano practice foundation, and he already has a high level of performance. Now, he feels that his piano playing skills have also been upgraded, giving him a wonderful feeling that he has never felt before.

At the end of the song, Li Jingwei felt that his mood had never been more comfortable. This is not only the enjoyment that the piano brings him, but also the incomparable relaxation of knowing that his grandfather's illness is in sight.

Although Li Jingwei has been practicing the piano since he was a child, it is only today that he realizes that he really loves the piano.

When he put on the top of the piano and turned around to leave, he found a group of people not far behind him. Seeing Li Jingwei turn around, he didn't know who applauded first, and then everyone applauded.

Li Jingwei felt a little embarrassed, so he bowed to everyone and thanked them! Then, he quickly left the performance area and walked back to his original seat and sat down. The crowd also gradually dispersed!

Not long after Li Jingwei sat down, he saw a girl walking towards him, a little familiar, but he couldn't react at once to where he had seen it.

This girl is dressed very fashionably, with a little powder, but it is difficult to hide the original ice skin and jade skin, and there is a kind of refreshment like a hibiscus on her body. In terms of appearance, it is actually on par with Wei Rulan, and it is also a face that captivates the country and the city.

"Hello!" The girl stretched out her hand towards Li Jingwei, smiled and introduced herself: "My name is Dong Xiaowan." The sound you play is very beautiful and fascinating. ”

Li Jingwei couldn't remember where he had seen the other party for a while, so he also shook hands with the other party politely and said, "Hello!" However, he did not take the initiative to introduce his name, but he met in Pingshui, and it seemed that there was no need to introduce himself.

Dong Xiaowan didn't seem to care about Li Jingwei's reaction, or on the surface. As a popular movie star, she is used to being chased by men, ignored by Li Jingwei, and she is also wondering in her heart. Could it be that your charm has decreased recently?

She asked instead, "Can I sit across from you?"

"It's okay, please be seated. Li Jingwei folded the newspaper that had been spread out on the tea table. He looked at his watch and saw that he was about 20 minutes away from boarding.

"You're playing Richard Clayderman's Destiny, I love that tune too. Sometimes it is difficult for people to decide their own destiny, even if they struggle to no avail, but they must always face life positively. Isn't it?" Dong Xiaowan seemed to be asking, and she seemed to be feeling.

When Li Jingwei heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say: "This is a popular song by Richard Clayderman. ”

"I'm from the Dong family of Yinmen, and I saw you in the restaurant of the Jade Emperor International Hotel last night. Dong Xiaowan said suddenly.

Li Jingwei immediately reacted, this Dong Xiaowan was one of the people who followed the old man to his private room that day to ask for an explanation, and his attention at that time was mainly on the old man, and he didn't pay too much attention to her.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to identify herself, she didn't know what she meant by this, so she asked, "May I ask what Miss Dong is here today?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to Puhai City, I didn't expect to meet you here, so I want to apologize to you in person. That day was Dong Fan's mistake, he shouldn't pick quarrels and provoke trouble, I'm sorry!" Dong Xiaowan said sincerely.

"It's okay, it's all in the past, and he's been punished as he deserves. Li Jingwei said lightly.

"Are you from the Xuanyuan Dragon League?" Dong Xiaowan asked directly.

Dong Xiaowan's actions made Li Jingwei feel very strange, without any roundabouts or side knocks. But this kind of straightforward and unconcealed approach made Li Jingwei quite appreciative. So, he also replied unequivocally: "Yes." ”

"The Hidden Door Dong family has done some things that are not in accordance with the rules in recent years. This is because the power of the Dong family has declined, and many practices are inappropriate to deliberately use secular power to enhance the power of the family. Dong Xiaowan said, there was no lack of disappointment in her voice.

After a pause, he continued: "This time, we followed the third grandfather to find Dong Kui, who is also the future star of our family. This time, I came to Wushi to do things for the Han family, but I didn't go back on time, and the family was more worried, so I came to look for it. Have you met Dong Kui?"

Li Jingwei didn't expect Dong Xiaowan to ask herself so simply and directly, without the slightest intention to hide, and felt a little strange again. According to common sense, Dong Xiaowan shouldn't tell herself these things, but she just said it naturally.

He also replied matter-of-factly: "I haven't seen Dong Kui, and today is the first time I've heard of this name." Of course, it is also possible to see but not know that his name is Dong Kui. For your Dong family, as of today, I have encountered it for the second time. The last time I was at the Jade Emperor International Hotel was the first time. ”

When Dong Xiaowan saw the sincerity he said, she knew that he was not hiding herself, hesitated for a moment and said, "If you meet the Dong family in the future, if possible, please be merciful." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to be touched, and actually left tears, and then said: "The Dong family clan has declined, and our side branch families are also declining. In fact, I am a money-making machine pushed out by my family, and I am a radiant star in the eyes of outsiders, and only I know the pain in my heart. ”

Li Jingwei was a little at a loss for a while. After all, he is young and has little resistance to the lethality of girls' tears. took out a napkin from the carton on the table and handed it to Dong Xiaowan, saying, "I will return to the United States soon, and I don't think I will have much chance to see your Dong family again." You also know that if it weren't for the Dong family's repeated provocations last night, I wouldn't have made a move. Therefore, in the future, only the Dong family will not do bad things, and I will not do anything to the Dong family. ”

Li Jingwei didn't notice that his action of handing Dong Xiaowan a tissue was filmed by someone with a heart, and the next day, some tabloids and gossip websites appeared on some tabloids and gossip websites with content that made people think about it, and the headline was absolutely eye-catching.

For example, Dong Xiaowan is suspected of being abandoned by the rich second generation and sheds tears at the airport;

Li Jingwei accidentally made the headlines of the media entertainment section. Of course, that's all for later.

With the sound of urging boarding on the radio, Li Jingwei said goodbye to Dong Xiaowan and turned around and walked towards the boarding gate. The two were not on the same flight, Dong Xiaowan sat there, looking at Li Jingwei's back, thoughtful.
