couldn't stand Mo Luoluo's wailing day after day, Lin Xiangwan was finally grinded by her to agree to participate in the banquet of the Baili family.

Baili Manor is built on the mountain, covering a huge area, Lin Xiangwan opened on the winding mountain road I don't know how long, from the foot of the mountain I saw the red and white spire of the manor from a distance, but it seems that I can't open the head.

"I don't understand, since you all know that people's treasures are hidden underground, and there are so many institutions to protect them, you can't see them, you can't take them, why do you have to come over?" Lin Xiangwan was dizzy when he walked on the winding mountain road, and couldn't help but complain. "That's it?"

Mo Luoluo laughed with him, dogged Lin Xiangwan's shoulder, and said, "It's okay to look at the gate, I am not allowed to steal ...... No, I'm not allowed to look at it, and I'm not allowed to look forward to it? If I have money in the future, I also know how to hide it. ”

The parking lot of the villa has been neatly stacked with many luxury cars, Lin Xiangwan rented a Mazda6 in a Maserati, Porsche looks very pitiful and shabby, she really can't afford to lose this face, she parked the car a little farther away, got out of the car and walked to the gate of the manor with Mololo.

There was a special person outside the gate to check the invitation, Lin Xiangwan handed out the white envelope, and the invitation was a very young but very generous woman wearing a white shirt and a black tuxedo, and her makeup was elegant.

She looked at Lin Xiangwan's invitation to herself several times, and saw that Lin Xiangwan's heart was furious, and she thought that the decoration of herself and Mo Luoluo was too casual, and she was going to be invited out, and when she was about to explain, the woman suddenly laughed, "It turns out that you are Miss Lin, and Scarlet didn't choose the wrong person." ”

Lin Xiangwan was confused when he heard it, "Scarlet?"

The woman continued to smile and said, "It's the blood jade bracelet you auctioned at the Shen family's auction, and its name is Scarlet Silk. ”

It's not uncommon to name the bracelet, but if it chooses her...... Seeing that Lin Xiangwan was still puzzled, the woman explained, "People who love to appreciate jade know that jade is a very spiritual thing, as the saying goes, people raise jade and jade raise people is also the truth, jade can be psychic, it has been recorded since ancient times, and there is a saying that good jade is the main disaster prevention." Scarlet has always been withdrawn and doesn't like to be close to people, and this time I chose Miss Lin, which can be regarded as your fate with it. ”

The woman said so much at once, but Lin Xiangwan just smiled noncommittally, she didn't believe in these things, so she didn't say anything.

Perhaps seeing Lin Xiangwan's thoughts, the woman gently changed the conversation, "Look at me, when I talk about jade, it's endless, and I haven't introduced myself to the two of you, my surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Mingfei." ”

"Miss Xu is the housekeeper of Baili Manor?" Seeing that she was dressed in a neat and straight tuxedo, Lin Xiangwan speculated.

Xu Mingfei nodded, "I grew up in Baili's family, and I have always been working here, and I was just promoted to housekeeper a few years ago...... However, in addition to the position of housekeeper, I am also the eldest daughter-in-law of the Baili family. ”

"Huh, you are the ......" Mo Luoluo, who had been listening to the two of them quietly beside her, couldn't help but scream when she heard this, and after seeing Lin Xiangwan's searching gaze, she immediately realized that she was out of shape, and quickly stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth.

Xu Mingfei didn't think it was wrong, but still maintained a modest and polite attitude, turned his body to the side and said, "It's hot and humid outside, the two of you are the distinguished guests of Baili Villa, please go to the banquet first, if there is any inconvenience, you can come to me at any time." ”

"What did you just do?" Lin Xiangwan and Mo Luoluo walked in the villa for a while, and when she saw that there was no one nearby, she asked.

Mo Luoluo looked around before replying, "Sister Wan, you really don't know anything?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Baili family...... Gee...... That's no ordinary person. Mo Luoluo squinted his eyes, looking unfathomable, Lin Xiangwan was amused by her little appearance, and nodded her small nose with her finger, "Don't sell it, what gossip is good, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, say it and share it." ”

Hearing this, Mo Luoluo leaned forward, put his mouth into Lin Xiangwan's ear and whispered, " Baili family originally had two young masters, the eldest young master Baili Ze and the second young master Baili Tong, although these two young masters were born in the main room, but because the eldest was a few years older than the second child, he was designated to inherit the family business, but I didn't expect that more than ten years ago, the Baili family drove a trip, the car on the road lost control, and fell off the cliff, the eldest young master died on the spot, and the second young master was also seriously injured, and it took a few days and nights to snatch back a life from the hands of the king of Hades, but his legs and feet have not been very neat......

"Can you still marry a daughter-in-law when you die?!" Lin Xiangwan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Moolo pouted, "What's the big deal, Yin Marriage." Not only Huaguo, but also the Wang people in many countries have retained this tradition. The Xu Mingfei at the door, Miss Xu, seems to have been adopted by the Baili family since she was a child, and later after Bailize died, I heard that she entered the church with Bailize's ashes......"

Lin Xiangwan was completely confused, she was living in the 21st century, right? In an era when science and culture were so prosperous, how could this kind of thing happen?

"Then she was forced?" Thinking that Xu Mingfei, who smiled very gently, would be forced to live in this golden cage for the rest of his life, Lin Xiangwan's heart was not good, why was it always women who were sacrificed and used in the face of these powers?

Mo Luoluo scratched his head, "It doesn't seem to be true, I heard that Miss Xu is voluntary." I've seen people secretly take photos of her taking an oath in front of the altar in the church with the urn on her face, and her expression doesn't look like she was forced. ”

If she was forced, she shouldn't have such a gentle and affectionate look in her eyes, although the photo was deleted not long after, but Xu Mingfei in the photo was deeply seared in Mo Luoluo's mind.

At that time, Mo Luoluo didn't know Shen Shijun, but she insisted on believing that the light that flashed in Xu Mingfei's eyes was what people often say, love.

Lin Xiang had nothing to say in the evening breeze, it was really thunderous every year, and there were a lot of them this year. She can't believe that there is such a relationship in the world, that people promise life and death, live without leaving death and never give up, or, she doesn't believe at all, there is love in the world.

Lin Xiangwan was alone to digest this matter, Mo Luo had already stretched his neck, and looked into the manor excitedly, Lin Xiangwan looked at her anxious appearance, and no longer stopped her, let Mo Luo go treasure hunting, while she herself walked aimlessly in the manor.

I didn't want to enter the banquet hall, because I was really afraid of those businessmen who were full of politeness and smiles, but in fact you didn't know what he was thinking about, so Lin Xiangwan casually found a path and started his own adventure.

The Hundred Mile Villa was full of people, and it was already dark, Lin Xiangwan was dizzy and didn't know where to go, and by the time she realized that she was lost, she had already walked some distance away from the main banquet hall.

No longer hearing the noise of the staggered scramble, and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Lin Xiangwan's mood seemed to have become much calmer.

In the midst of the vegetation, there was a small fountain, and in the center of the pool was the goddess of the moon, whose face was like a silver platter, graceful and moving, and she bowed her head slightly and calmly, and a clear stream of water flowed from the kettle on her shoulder.

Lin Xiangwan sat by the pool, took off his shoes, and soaked his aching feet in the cold water.

It's so comfortable......

The cold feeling made her squint her eyes comfortably, and she held her cheeks with her hands, and she couldn't help but think of when she was in Chicago, every summer, she would take Ye Nan to play at the musical fountain near the community.

The small hole on the ground is artificially chiseled, and from time to time it spits out a small drop of water with the ups and downs of the music, which can bounce to a position of about one meter, and then fall weightlessly, fall to the ground, and shatter into countless petals. Ye Nan was still young at that time, and his instinctive resistance to the outside world, even if a child approached him and wanted to play with him, he would hide aside in fear, and when other children were laughing and running to avoid the water droplets, he could only stand there in a daze, letting the water beads wet his whole body.

Lin Xiangwan looked at it from the side, but he didn't know how to comfort Ye Nan.

She could see that Ye Nan didn't actually hate this musical fountain, he just didn't know how to play, he didn't know when to run, when to stop, those screaming and running children made him feel lost, he didn't know how to fit into them, although he was so desperate to have a friend.

Later, Lin Xiangwan took Ye Nan to the music fountain again, but he refused to go.

He locked himself in the closet and screamed loudly. When Lin Xiangwan put on his coat, he was like an angry little lion, frantically tearing his clothes, and then pulling his hair, he felt that as long as he made a mess of himself, Lin Xiangwan could give up this idea.

It was a time of despair.

Every time Lin Xiangwan looked back, he felt frightened.

If Ye Nan doesn't get better, what should she do? If Ye Nan returns to that state......

Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes and covered her heart with her hands, she didn't dare to think about it.

She had always thought that she was not a greedy person, but now, she realized that she was actually a selfish and greedy guy. She wants too much, when Ye Nan is seriously ill, she wants him to be healthy, when he is healthy, she wants him to be happy, and when he is happy, she hopes that she can be by his side and verify his growth......

She's really too longing...... She knew all this...... It's all impossible......

Her eyes were uncomfortably sore, and Lin Xiangwan covered her soaked hands on her face, stubbornly thinking that what was scratching off her face was just pool water, not her tears......

"Click. There was a soft sound, the sound of a branch breaking.

Lin Xiangwan raised his head in fright and crashed into a pair of familiar and sad deep eyes......
