"You?" Xia Yan didn't want to deal with this man, although he was handsome and had a dusty temperament, she really couldn't get used to his appearance of hugging left and right, coupled with his behavior of condensing an inch of water, Xia Yan didn't have a good impression at all. She even secretly sighed that this person really gave birth to a good skin for nothing.

Even if she didn't like this person anymore, but he had news of that person, she could only ask stubbornly: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, where did you get this jade pendant?" ”

"I bought it from a jewelry store when I was wandering around." The man chuckled, "What, brother, isn't it a fancy for it?" It's a pity that I've already given it to Lu'er, and if you really want it, it's up to Miss Lu'er to mean it. ”

"It's just that the style of this jade pendant is special, so I'm a little curious." Xia Yan smiled, "This is Sister Lu'er's thing, how can I win people's love." ”

"I'll just say, it's just a jade pendant, and it's not a rare object, so Brother Tai won't make such a fuss." The man smiled slightly, "The bearing of the brother is not like the kind of ignorant one." ”

There was sarcasm in this man's words, of course Xia Yan could hear it, but she didn't bother to bother with this person, so she bowed and said, "Since I know the origin of this jade pendant, then I won't bother the two of you and say goodbye." ”

"Brother, if you can meet today, it can be regarded as fate, why leave in a hurry, it's better to stay and have a few drinks with me." The man smiled and stayed.

"You have a beautiful woman with you, won't it be in the way for me to stay?" Xia Yan declined.

The man suddenly sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that I have these good wines." I came all the way from the capital, and I really don't have any friends in this Qin County. You know, there are a lot of interesting things in the capital, and I have no one to share. ”

"Isn't there still a condensation girl?" Xia Yan didn't want to answer the man's words, but said perfunctorily.

"Like this jade pendant." The man abruptly changed the subject, "When I bought it, the shopkeeper of the jewelry store told me a lot about its previous owner, which was very interesting......

"The previous master? This jade pendant was resold? Xia Yan caught the key words in the man's words and couldn't help asking.

"That's right." The man nodded, an imperceptible smile on his lips.

"Its former owner...... Be...... Who is it? Xia Yan looked at the man expectantly, hoping to get an answer from his mouth.

"That's a long story." The man made a gesture of please, "Little brother, you might as well sit down and listen to me tell you slowly." Of course, if you are in a hurry to leave, then I have no choice but to wait until the next time we meet. It's just that I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again in the future. ”

This person was clearly threatening himself, how could Xia Yan not hear it.

Coupled with Shui Ning's non-stop super-hers, Xia Yan was confused, and he could guess that this man must have other purposes.

But in order to get the news of that man, no matter how dissatisfied she was with this man, even if there was really any danger, she was willing to bear it.

So, she sat down opposite the man and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, I am really curious about the owner of this jade pendant, so don't sell it anymore." ”

Seeing Xia Yan sit down, the man smiled with great satisfaction, and at the same time glanced at Lu'er. Lu'er understood, and immediately came to Xia Yan's side to help her get a glass of wine.

Xia Yan was anxious in his heart, how could he have any intention of drinking, and when he was about to ask, he heard the man say: "The owner of this jade pendant is a rich child in the capital. Speaking of this little boy, that's really a backbone. When he was young, he was kicked out of the house by his biological father, and he did not contact his family at all, and he was not heard from for five years. I thought that this little young master would never appear in the capital again, but I didn't expect him to return home eight or nine months ago. Everyone thought that he had reconciled with his family, but they didn't expect that not long after, he left without a sound. It is said that he completely angered his father and was kicked out of the house again. There are even rumors in Beijing that the father of this little boy has completely given up on him and will no longer care about his life or death. ”

Five years is the time when Mu Fan stayed in Qin County, and before August and September, it was also the time when Mu Fan left, plus the rich children in the capital, which made Xia Yan even more convinced that the owner of this jade pendant was Mu Fan.

It's just that...... He has always hung this jade pendant on his waist, how can he be sold to others?

"Isn't he a rich kid? Why did you sell this jade pendant? Is he short of silver? Xia Yan was a little puzzled, "No, he doesn't look like the kind of person who will be short of silver at all." ”

"Little brother, do you know the owner of this jade pendant?" The man laughed.

For some reason, Xia Yan didn't want outsiders to know about Mu Fan, so she hurriedly denied it: "No, I don't know him, it's just a random guess." ”

The man didn't dwell too much on this matter, and continued to smile: "I don't know the reason why he sold the jade pendant, but according to my guess, he probably didn't plan to take any of the items in the house because he wanted to completely cut off the relationship with that family." ”

"That young master...... He...... Where did he go? After a moment's hesitation, Xia Yan asked the question he was most concerned about," he ...... Is he okay? ”

"I don't really know." The man's gaze stayed on Xia Yan's face, "The shopkeeper only told me this, and he didn't explain the whereabouts of the little boy." ”

"Yes." didn't get the news he wanted, and Xia Yan was a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, at least judging from this man's description, Mu Fan left Beijing on his own initiative, so there should be no danger. Books.com

It's just that...... Since he was kicked out of his home, why did he ...... Why don't you go back to Qin County?

Don't...... He has forgotten......

Xia Yan's heart was in turmoil, and he sat there sluggishly, not noticing what was happening around him.

At this moment, a faint voice came from her ear: "Under Xu Yichen, dare to ask what the little brother is called?" ”

Xia Yan's mind was full of Mu Fan's figure, muddy, and he had no time to care about anything else, and when he was asked his name, he immediately blurted out: "Xia Yan." ”

"Xia Yan? But the famous Xia shopkeeper? ”

"Probably." Xia Yan replied perfunctorily.

At this time, Xu Yichen suddenly laughed: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't find out that the little brother in front of me was dressed as a girl for so long." ”

This loud laugh brought Xia Yan back to her senses, and she realized that she had inadvertently exposed her identity.

But it doesn't matter, she is still a little famous in Qin County, and it is normal to be recognized.

But...... What did this man just say his name was?

Allow...... Xu Yichen? From the capital?

Xia Yan's face immediately changed and changed, and he asked tentatively: "Young Master Xu, since you are from the capital, have you ever heard of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"I've heard of it." The corners of Xu Yichen's mouth were slightly hooked, "Not only have I heard of it, but I am quite familiar with it." ”

At this point, Xia Yanruo couldn't guess who this person was, so he would be a little too stupid.

She stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Xu Hui will come from a long way, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Shopkeeper Xia, we have been friends for many years, why are you polite to me?" Xu Yichen smiled, "It's a blessing to meet here today, it's time to celebrate, so I bothered Miss Shui Ning to dance a song for us." ”

As he spoke, he let go of the hand holding Shui Ning's shoulder, and rubbed his hand on the hem of his clothes a few times without a trace when no one was paying attention.

Shui Ning got up, glanced at Xia Yan secretly, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he looked directly into Xu Yichen's eyes and said, "I don't want to." ”

"President Xu, since Sister Ning is unwilling, don't force her to be." Xia Yan originally had no good impression of this president who had never met because of the orange tree, and when he saw him today, he was even more disgusted. In addition, Shui Ning's face was not only full of reluctance, but also a hint of shame, which made Xia Yan have to guess that this Xu Yichen must have done something excessive to Shui Ning before.

"Shopkeeper Xia, it's rare to see the top card of this drunken red mansion, and no one has ever seen her dancing, aren't you looking forward to it?" Xu Yichen raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Even if I have expectations for Sister Ning's dancing, I won't force others like President Xu." The corners of Xia Yan's mouth were sarcastic, "I am the same woman as Sister Ning, and I don't have a lustful heart like you for her." ”

When it was said that he had a colored heart, Xu Yichen's face darkened, but he still maintained a graceful smile: "I made this request for the sake of Shopkeeper Xia, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand my kindness." Since Shopkeeper Xia didn't want to watch Miss Shui Ning dance, that's it. It's just that...... Today I learned that this drunken red mansion is nothing more than that. The famous girl of Shui Ning didn't even meet this little request of the guest, did she really think that she was a golden branch and jade leaf, and others couldn't see or touch it? Don't look at where this is, if it spreads, I'm afraid there won't be any business in this drunken red mansion. Miss Shuining, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't forget the promise of the day, if you make me unhappy, God knows what I will do. ”

"President Xu, why do you keep persecuting Sister Ning?" Xia Yan frowned.

"I didn't force her." Xu Yichen chuckled, "It is her blessing to be able to dance for Shopkeeper Xia, so how can she say that she is persecuted?" What's more, she doesn't even want to dance for you, how can she afford the word sister? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shui Ning's head lowered fiercely, and Xia Yan couldn't see the expression on her face.

Although she couldn't observe Shui Ning's reaction at the moment, Xia Yan could guess her mood at the moment.

Being forced and humiliated like this, no one will be happy.

So, Xia Yan couldn't bear it and said, "Sister Ning, are you willing to leave with me?" ”

"Leave?" Shui Ning raised his head and looked at Xia Yan puzzled.

"That's right." Xia Yan smiled, "I'll redeem myself for you and leave here." ”
