Chapter 59: The Shadow in the Mirror is Nothing
After thinking about it, Bai Hengqi looked like he wanted to say something. What the head of the Gan family encountered should not be a bad thing, but something that made him a little confused, something hesitant to grasp, or a person.
"Nothing has changed here. Xishuang walked to the steps in front of the courtyard, walked up and down, "I remember when I was a child, the steps were very high, and it was a little laborious to step up, but when I grew up, they were all ordinary. β
Han Sui listened patiently to Xishuang, almost talking to himself.
"I promised my mother that I would always stay in Tianxiu Town and live a good life. If my mother knew that I had returned to Liyupu, would she be very angry or disappointed?" Xishuang smiled, the corners of her mouth bitter, "I don't want to go back to Gan's house, I want them to let me go." β
Bai Hengqi went and came back quickly, and he really lived up to what he said: The head of the family hasn't finished dealing with important matters, and I can't see her. But you can't run for nothing, so come in with me. β
The Gan family is definitely not a place where idle people wait, they can enter if they want to, and they can get out when they want. Han Sui noticed that they walked in all the way, and met at least three or five groups of people, those people were clearly vigilant, and the moment they saw Bai Hengqi, they were very fast. Relax.
He remembered that Xishuang said that Bai Hengqi was the adopted son of Gan Wangmei, the head of the Gan family, and he was also the most handy weapon in her hand. The status of such a person in the Gan family is very delicate.
"Where are you taking us?" Sunset noticed that they had walked through the atrium and were almost to the backyard. That was the place where the Gan family could enter, that is, where she once lived.
"I once asked the head of the house, if you came back, where would you stay? Bai Hengqi has been bringing Xishuang to the position she is most familiar with, the door, gently covered. He whispered softly with a gentle look in his eyes, "Do you still remember here?"
Xishuang was not moved at all, and said coldly: "How can you forget the place you have lived? When I left, you didn't enter the Gan family, and you didn't recognize me, so I was deceived." β
Bai Hengqi was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't explain anything for himself. This is the task that the head of the family once arranged for him, and he has only completed more than half of it.
He elaborated that although it is important for the head of the family to deal with things, he still shows up every evening to deal with some important tasks in the clan. At most, half an hour later, he will see the head of the family and truthfully return the news that Xishuang has returned to the Gan family.
"As for this senior, as long as he doesn't break the rules of the Gan family, he can stay. Bai Hengqi had heard Xie Anzai call Han Sui like this, and he only felt funny at the time. But this person protected Xishuang all the way to the Gan family who left the garden. is particularly bold, is the spiritual power is particularly strong, or both, no wonder Xishuang doesn't look at herself anymore. In Xishuang's eyes, only this person remained.
Sunset pushed open the door of the house, and memories came to her face like a tide. It's really funny, the furnishings in the house and her memories are almost overlapping, and there is no disobedience in the slightest. A cup of tea is not stained with dust, it seems that it is being cleaned every day, and even the flowers in the vase on the table are fresh. Xishuang couldn't help but walk over and stroke it with her fingers, it was soft and fragrant, and it was really the freshest bloom.
Why did she do this? Xishuang didn't know if she was asking herself, or Han Sui, to show that she was remorseful?
Although she didn't want to admit it, Xishuang was a little frightened in her heart, she would rather see a fierce Gan Wangmei who wanted her to give in. Instead of never seeing the real face, it made her heart soften, and she almost forgot those bad pasts.
is really a master who understands people's hearts, and she suddenly found that those resentments were almost diluted by the scene in front of her. Xishuang hurriedly pinched herself, don't forget that this person forced you and your mother to leave the Gan family, and the ghost has not stopped all these years. You must be on the highest alertness, not to see what to hear, not to be naΓ―ve, not to be soft-hearted!
Bai Hengqi didn't leave immediately, he also looked at the person in front of him. Xishuang's words are not bad at all, when he entered Gan's house, Xishuang had already been taken away by Gan Wangzhu. He had heard of such a person and her child, and later met in Tianxiu Town, and an idea kept coming to his mind, if Xishuang returned to the Gan family and lived in the Gan family, it would be the beauty that should have been.
"The head of the house sometimes comes here and stays alone for most of the hour, and no one is allowed to follow him. Every time she came out, she was also very haggard. Xishuang, I know you have some misunderstandings about the head of the house, but I want you to reconcile. Bai Hengqi once again found that he couldn't go on.
Xishuang has been in Tianxiu Town for too long, if the head of the family intends to recall her. Then he shouldn't have been sent to hurt Sunset. He swayed inwardly, and found that he couldn't figure out what the head of the family was thinking.
"I have nothing to do with the Gan family, and I have no relationship with it for a long time! You know what, I want to reconcile with a sentence or two!" Xishuang walked over and closed the door slamming the door, the door panel was almost against Bai Hengqi's face, almost touching his nose, "Since you said that I could have this patience after waiting for half an hour, but I really don't want to see your face again." β
Bai Hengqi outside the door left in a huff, this Xishuang was soft and hard, and in front of another man, Bai Hengqi felt that his usual disguise was torn apart by her. The truth that wanted to be covered by him and didn't want to see people was almost exposed, and if he didn't leave, he would only look even weaker.
"If he ever broke your heart, you should have done the same to get revenge on him. Han Sui's eyes were interesting, looking at the balanced relationship between the two. Although Xishuang didn't say it very clearly, he could roughly think that it was not difficult for Bai Hengqi to impress a little mirror master in Tianxiu Town.
Yushuang was injured and got up again. When they fight again, the high and low scores obviously have the upper hand, and they are still the ones who will not lose.
"He did it on purpose, and I did it on purpose. Xishuang walked slowly around the house, "I used to live here with my mother, and there was a small courtyard in the back. My mother likes to take me with me, basking in the sun during the day and counting the stars at night. β
Xishuang always thought that her mother was going to take her away because she hated the Gan family. At this moment, the calm mood was narrating, and she found that her mother's brightest smile was all here.
After arriving in Tianxiu Town, she almost never saw her mother laugh again, occasionally once or twice, but it was also very shallow and light, not as good as when she was in the Gan family, she smiled so wantonly and brightly.
Han Sui looked around, this room was one after another, and it was indeed very suitable for the mother and daughter to live. His gaze stayed in front of the mirror on the wall, and Xishuang saw that he couldn't take his eyes off it, so he couldn't help but turn an angle and stand beside him, and followed him to the mirror: "Can you see any other tricks in this?"
Han Sui's fingers pressed against the surface of the mirror. Xishuang looked over and saw that the mirror was like water waves, from top to bottom, slowly flowing through. The scene in the mirror has completely changed.
It was a house in disrepair, dusty, with broken window lattices, and only half of the window paper remained, and if the wind blew, what was left of the house would have been blown to pieces. Sunset looked in the mirror, then behind her. What appeared in the mirror was completely different from what her eyes could see.
What is going on? Xishuang couldn't understand it, so she could only ask Han Sui.
"The shadow in the mirror is virtual, and the object outside the mirror is real. Guess which one is true and which one is false?" Han Sui stretched out his finger again and clicked on the mirror a few times.
The scenery in front of Xishuang has changed, it is still the same furniture, it is still the same furnishings, but it has fallen into disrepair for a long time and gradually lost its original shape. She looked at the flowers in the vase again, and where there was still any life, it had long since dried up and shrunk into a ball. And in the bottle, there is not a drop of water.
"Which is the truth I see, just now or now!" Xishuang couldn't accept such a huge change, she knew that Han Sui was for her good, and wanted to remind her and let her open her blinded eyes. It's ridiculous that she still has a trace of innocence, and Gan Wangmei has withdrawn the last trace of innocence.
Sure enough, when Xishuang opened his eyes again, where was the window in front of him, it was just an illusion to fool people, and it was right to think about it, Gan Wangmei hated their mother and daughter to the core, how could they clean up the vacant house every day.
Xishuang suddenly thought of who did this, and shouted through the door panel: "Bai Hengqi, I won't forgive you for doing this!"
"In that case, this place can't be occupied for the time being, so let's just take a look. Han Sui looked down at the layer of ash on the table. Xishuang said that he had left the Gan family for more than ten years, and the house had been vacant for more than ten years.
Xishuang didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so she barely controlled her anger and changed the subject: "Let's guess what is holding Gan Wangmei's footsteps back, so that she has to deal with it wholeheartedly." I don't have time to deal with it. β
It should be taking care of a very important guest, Han Sui's words made Xishuang's eyes widen, as if asking, how did you guess?
From Bai Hengqi's words, it can be roughly guessed. It seems that the Gan family has seen a great character, and Gan Wangmei knows the identity of the other party, so she can't leave anything. And this big man naturally has to rest at night, so Gan Wangmei can take time to deal with the chores in the clan.
"But I'm not interested in any adults or things, and you've been in Tianxiu Town for more than ten years, so I guess you don't know anyone outside. Han Sui lowered his head and smiled, "As far as you are to me, there is not much difference. β
After waiting for more than half an hour, Bai Hengqi knocked on the door again and asked cautiously, "The head of the family has vacated, do you want to see her?"
"Could it be that the head of the Gan family, she doesn't know that I'm here now?" Xi, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a faint bruise on the bridge of Bai Hengqi's nose, which was obviously photographed by her with the door panel, so she was in a good mood, "She saw me, if she wants to kill me, what will you do?"
Bai Hengqi just stepped forward and covered Xishuang's mouth: "Don't say these stupid things, how can the head of the family kill you." She's just trying to keep you. β
"Then tell me, what big man is from the Gan family. Let this, the head of the Gan family, who is high above, stutter back and forth, can't take time, and can't get out. Xishuang deliberately embarrassed Bai Hengqi, knowing that she couldn't talk about the family behind her back, she wanted to ask, "It's just a person's name, why is it inconvenient to say?"
"It's a big guy here, and the whole Liyu Garden may not be under his nose. This man was so fascinated that he knew how he had passed through this place. The head of the family wants to keep people to live for a longer time, just enough to deal with the four major families. Bai Hengqi gritted his teeth and made all the things that should be said and what should not be said.
