Chapter 11: The Mystery of Identity
In front of the gate of Sekwang High School
After Luo Xichen, Jin Nanxun and others left, three people walked out of the corner, who else could there be if it wasn't for Jin Ling, Mingxin, and Xue Ya?
Jin Ling looked at Kim Nam-joon and Luo Xichen, who were talking and laughing on campus, and frowned deeply......
That's right, Kim Ling and Kim Nam-hoon......
All surnamed Kim!
From a legal point of view, these two are undoubtedly real "brothers and sisters", but ......
It's not just a mother's birth......
Before Luo Xichen left, although this Jin Ling was indeed a person, but he rarely entered the Jin family's mansion, let alone came into contact with the children of a wealthy family like Luo Xichen, the only time he was led back to the Jin family by Jin Nanxun's father, and he only dared to hide behind Jin Nanxun's father Jin Ze, at that time, Kim Nanxun's mother had just passed away, how could the old lady of the Jin family, who was distressed about her precious grandson, agree to let Jin Ling recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors?
If it is said that this Huangfu Xi saw Jin Ling once when he was young, in addition to curiosity and envy in those eyes that dodged everywhere, there was also extreme jealousy and hatred that did not belong to children, from that moment on, Luo Xichen's cognition of Jin Ling was defined.
It's just that after so many years, with the efforts of Jin Nanxun, who left home and Jin's father, who kept making stalks, this Jin Ling finally slowly broke into the upper class circle, and with the gradual increase in the number of things she owned, her arrogance gradually rose, so that today she can almost run rampant and domineering in the world full of nobles, not that the children of those wealthy families are really afraid of Jin Ling, but to some extent, she can't offend the Jin family for a concubine with an unrighteous name, but in view of Kim Nanxun's attitude, Most people still choose to protect themselves, keep some distance from this "eldest lady" of the Jin family, and remain neutral in front of other people's family affairs, which is the wisest way.
As for Xue Ya, a person who is difficult to gain a foothold in the real upper class, being able to climb Jin Ling is also a blessing that she can't cultivate in her lifetime, and of course she won't have any scruples.
Everyone knows that this Jin Ling's fatal weakness is her nominal "brother", on the one hand, this Jin Ling wants to please Kim Nam-hoon, on the other hand, she is very afraid of Kim Nam-hoon for some reason, and no matter what Kim Ling does, she can only take her own humiliation from Kim Nam-hoon, and over time, the intersection between the two has become less and less, especially in the past two years, Kim Nam-hoon has begun to become indifferent to anyone's affairs, except for Nangong Min, there is really no one else who can come to him......
But this freshman who has just transferred to Luo Xichen ......
"What the hell is this new student?" Jin Ling looked ahead with deep eyes and asked.
"I don't know...... She said that her name was Luo Xichen, and she didn't ask anything else......" Xue Ya said, she had already questioned Luo Xichen's identity very unceremoniously yesterday, but she didn't expect that she would be embarrassed in the end.
"Recently...... Have you heard of any wealthy daughters transferring to the next world...... "Jin Ling felt that she couldn't get used to this freshman who had just transferred to another school, and the existence of this person was as if she was specifically against her, and she was very annoyed.
"No...... Mingxin thought carefully and said hesitantly.
Recent...... I really haven't heard of any famous wealthy daughters who transfer to the next world......
Apart from......
"Except for ......," Mingxin unconsciously said what he was thinking.
"Except for what?" Jin Ling turned her head violently to look at Mingxin and asked, Isn't it okay, it would be bad if this Luo Xichen, who specializes in doing things right with her everywhere, really has some identity.
"Huh? There's nothing ......," Mingxin said as he came back to his senses.
"It had better be! I don't care what you two do to find out the identity of this obnoxious freshman for me! Jin Ling snorted coldly and left arrogantly.
Xue Ya hurriedly followed, leaving Mingxin, who was still thinking about something, alone in the same place......
Should...... It can't be her......
But it's impossible......
If only she...... It's impossible not to have received the news in advance......
But why, from the first sight of the freshman, she had a very uncomfortable feeling......
It's like when she was young, her eyes were full of disdain and cold ridicule, as if everything she did was invisible in her eyes......
That girl who is high up on top is so difficult to approach, people can't help but feel a strong sense of inferiority from the depths of their hearts......
Mingxin shook her head, her eyes were resolute, she had to find out about this matter......
Recess
Seeing that Kim Nam-hoon finally walked out of the classroom, Xue Ya breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to Luo Xichen's desk, and knocked on her desk with her hand.
Luo Xichen raised her head and saw Xue Ya sitting directly on the corner of her desk, her brows frowning inadvertently, and her eyes turned slightly cold.
"Excuse me, this is my desk." Luo Xichen glanced at the part where Xue Ya was sitting under him, and then raised his eyes to look at Xue Ya.
I don't know why, Xue Ya, who didn't care about it, was unconsciously trembling when she was seen by the instantly cooled eyes, and although she refused to admit defeat with her face, she still stood up from Luo Xichen's table unconsciously.
"Hey! Freshman! I say...... What the hell are you coming from? Xue Ya asked unceremoniously with her arms folded around her chest, her chin held high.
"I should have introduced myself yesterday, if you didn't hear it...... Sorry, I'd mind repeating it again. Luo Xichen put down the book, leaned back on the back of the chair behind him casually, folded his arms around his chest, and said with a flat face.
This Luo Xichen's reaction is always beyond Xue Ya's cognition, she thinks that she has seen many arrogant daughters, some are as arrogant as Jin Ling, some are as gentle as Mingxin but have complex thoughts, some are noble like a swan and always raise their heads high, some are like saints who look at everyone with disdain, some are rude and willful, and they don't know the height of the sky, just like the youngest daughter of the prosecutor who blocked Nangong Min that day, and some are cautious, for fear of doing something wrong......
But Luo Xichen is different, very different......
Her eyes are very bright, very bright, when she looks at you, it always makes people feel that there is nothing to hide, all the intrigues and tricks are like clowns on the stage in her eyes, funny and ridiculous, but no matter how ridiculous the performance is, no matter how many people applaud or laugh at it, she will only look at you indifferently like that, with extremely noble confidence, ignoring everyone's gaze and turning away......
Xue Ya came back to her senses violently, forcing herself to regain her sense of scrutiny and confidence, before the question was asked, how could she be taken away by the other party with a look?
"Hey, I said, you and Kim Nam-hoon...... What exactly does it matter? Xue Ya looked at Luo Xichen in a condescending manner, and a hint of point-in-the-minute banter appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The classroom, which was originally very noisy, suddenly became very quiet under this question, and the pin drop could be heard.
Even Nangong Min, who had been lying on the table to catch up on sleep, took off his headphones and slowly sat up straight, looking at Luo Xichen thoughtfully......
In this silent atmosphere, the voice of Lu Zi'an, who had been silently watching the excitement since Xue Ya walked to Luo Xichen's side, suddenly sounded.
But what was very different from what everyone expected was what he said next, as if he didn't care about what he said......
"Anyway...... I'm also curious......" Lu Zi'an's tone carried a hint of the usual banter, but it made people feel unprecedented calmness and palpitations.
Undoubtedly, what this sentence expresses is not simply a literal meaning, but it is also a literal meaning.
That is to say, Lu Zi'an, who had always thought that he would relieve Luo Xichen in the eyes of everyone, did not do so, on the contrary, he wanted to ask Luo Xichen like everyone else:
What kind of relationship do you have with our young master of the Golden Group, Kim Nam-hoon?
Luo Xichen glanced around the crowd staring at her, not in a hurry to defend or refute what might be explaining something, nor did she show the pride, ostentation, or nervousness and anger that everyone expected to show on her face......
It was as if she had discovered something interesting, and as if she didn't know what she was doing, and she didn't mean to explain anything to anyone......
Lin Lulu, who had been sitting in the corner and wanted to say something but bit her lip tightly, had to clench her fists silently, looked at the door anxiously, praying in her heart for someone's appearance......
It's not that she isn't curious about Luo Xichen's identity, it's just that compared to the focus of everyone's concern, she is more worried that Luo Xichen will be ostracized by her classmates like herself......
Lin Lulu remembered the scene when the teacher asked her to take care of Luo Xichen in the Academic Affairs Office before, and she was unconsciously nervous and scared, no one knew better than her the reason for Luo Xichen's enrollment on the form she enrolled......
What if Luo Xichen's "identity" is "exposed", then what should I do......
Although she selfishly hopes that someone can stand up and help her share part of the sight and pressure, her conscience can't bear to see a girl who is so good to her suffer those things......
In the eyes of curiosity, puzzlement, worry, or schadenfreude, Luo Xichen smiled "out of place......
"That said...... Who knows? Luo Xichen shrugged his shoulders absently.
What's the relationship......
Childhood??? Two little guesses???
Forehead......
Luo Xichen couldn't help but shudder at his hypocrisy......
Or is it ......
World Friendship ???
Or......
Doll pro ???
Forehead...... This one......
Luo Xichen said that the words that come out when chatting and eating melon seeds between adults are not countable, okay......
That......
Schoolmate???
This one...... It seems that I have only been a classmate for a short time......
That......
Pal???
Luo Xichen, who was pondering to himself, smiled unconsciously and pursed his lips, not caring about what others thought at all......
What do other people think about her???
She's an unknown person now...... If you want to worry, it's also our Jin family's eldest young master who is worried, okay?
"But...... Since you're so curious, why don't you just ask Kim Nam-hoon? Luo Xichen was very irresponsible and threw the burden to our classmate Nanxun.
This question hit everyone's weakness.
Ask Kim Nam-hoon? Hehe...... They're not stupid......
"Yo, feelings are a soft pinch for persimmons...... Luo Xichen thought to himself, but what is going on with this Lu Zi'an?
She turned her head to look at this four-dimensional boy who couldn't figure out what she was thinking from the first time she met, after these few times of getting along, Luo Xichen had already understood that this Lu Zi'an was definitely not as hippie and smiling as he appeared on the surface, sometimes sunny and naughty, sometimes neurotic and crazy, and seemed to care about nothing, but she could feel that he didn't have any ill will towards her, and if she really wanted to know her true identity out of curiosity, it was probably the only one......
No, there is one more person......
Luo Xichen looked at Nangong Min, who fell back to make up for sleep, leaving only one back to everyone, and there was more thought in his eyes......
Nangong Min......
……
In the corridor of a teaching building at Shiguang High School
Mingxin stood in a very secluded corner, looking down at the mobile phone in his hand, which was constantly sliding in the numbers looking for the desired result.
Finally, she made the first call......
A beep sounded, and after a while the phone was connected, and there was a noise on the other end of the phone, and there was talk and laughter from time to time.
"Hello? Xin'er, what's wrong? The voice of a middle-aged woman with a slight charm sounded, and her tone was very warm and kind.
"Mom, where are you? Why is it so noisy? Mingxin frowned and asked, it was obvious that it was Mingxin's mother on the other end of the phone.
"Huh? I'm in your Uncle Qin's club. He said on the other end of the phone, and his tone seemed very happy.
"Mom! How many times have I said it! Don't always go to that kind of place! If you have time, wouldn't it be nice to walk around with the ladies of each family? Mingxin said with warm anger in his tone.
"Oh, you don't know that those people are kind on the surface, but in fact, they look down on us at all in their hearts, and it's better to be ......happy than to be bored," the phone said disapprerovingly.
"Mom!!" Mingxin couldn't restrain himself from roaring, interrupting the other party's next gushing self-righteous words.
"Oh, okay, okay...... What the hell are you looking for from me? The other party asked impatiently.
"Do you know when the eldest lady will return to China?" Mingxin took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"How could I possibly know that? It's not that you don't know, your mother and I will always be the last of everyone to know about that eldest lady, and even those journalists know more than I know...... Every time those people ask me about the Huangfu family, I can't get angry......" there was a gushing complaint.
"That's it! I know, hang up first. Mingxin was really impatient with his mother's constant complaints, so he hung up the phone directly.
Mingxin looked at the other phone number on his phone in silence, hesitated, and still called.
After a very short beep, the phone was connected, and compared to before, the other end of the phone was very quiet, except for the faint sound of footsteps ringing intermittently.
"Hello, HOPE Group General Manager's Office, who are you?" A nice female voice sounded.
"Hello, my name is Mingxin, I want to ask...... Is my brother here? Mingxin asked hesitantly.
"Hello Miss Ming, are you looking for the general manager? Please wait a minute. Miss Secretary said.
Silence returned to the other end of the line, and about a minute later, the female voice rang again.
"I'm sorry Miss Ming, the general manager is in a meeting, do you have anything you need me to convey?" The secretary said on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, it's okay, no need, thank you!" Mingxin didn't have any hope, so he hung up the phone.
After a while, Mingxin still had the mentality of giving it a try and made a third call......
After a few beeps, the phone was picked up by a middle-aged woman, who was different from the coquettishness of Mingxin's mother, and the voice on the other end of the phone seemed more calm and humble.
"Hello, is this Miss Ming? What's the matter? The other end of the line, apparently aware of Mingxin's call, asked.
"Aunt Li...... I want to ask......" Mingxin was about to speak, but heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice in the distance on the other end of the phone.
……
"Mingde?" A calm and intimidating voice rang out.
"Hey~It's coming~" Hearing this call, a voice that was also old but slightly kind replied.
……
"Miss Ming??? Is it still there??? Are you looking for a German butler? Seeing that Mingxin didn't speak, the other end of the phone asked softly.
"Oh...... No, it's okay...... Aunt Li, are you busy......" Mingxin seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong, and hurriedly replied.
After hanging up the phone for a long time, Mingxin didn't come back to his senses.
Those two voices...... There can be no mistake......
That is to say......
Ming Xin raised his head violently, and looked from the top of the corridor to Luo Xichen, who was holding a book with Lin Lulu, and happened to pass by Luo Xichen downstairs......
muttered to himself:
Is that you......
You......
Is it finally back......
