Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?
Chapter 539 Mu Xi is suspicious
Lin Luo and Wang Yujin looked at each other. Mu Xi's attitude was enough to explain the origin of the jade pendant.
"It was given to me by an elder." Lin Luo answered vaguely, "Did you see anything?"
"If, as you said, the second brother used the soul as a guide to destroy the soul-guarding jade, the soul-guarding jade should have been broken into pieces. This jade pendant should be made from the fragments of the soul-guarding jade."
Thinking of Mu Qing who would rather die than surrender, Mu Xi felt sad in his heart.
"Tell me clearly, who gave you the jade pendant?"
Lin Luo glanced at Si Yan, whose brows were twisted into the character "Chuan", and answered truthfully: "It was a meeting gift given to me by Uncle Si Yu."
"Is it him?" Mu Xi's sad eyes flashed with surprise.
Si Yan quickly found a replacement for his uncle, "Maybe my uncle bought it from somewhere else and thought it was good, so he gave it to sister Xiaoluo."
"This is indeed a good excuse for him to deny it." Mu Xi looked sharply and asked Si Yan, "Is Si Yu still cultivating immortality on the mountain?"
"It should be there..." Si Yan smiled reluctantly.
He didn't dare to think that if this matter was really related to his uncle, would he be able to have Mu Yao's determination to destroy his relatives in a just and righteous way.
Mu Xi took out his mobile phone and dialed Si Yu's number directly. He turned on the speakerphone and the phone beeped twice and was connected.
"Hello? Xiaoxi? Why do you have time to find me?"
Si Yu's calm and joyful voice came from the loudspeaker.
Wang Yujin raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Si Yu and Mu Xi had an unusual relationship.
She then asked the hospital to call Si Yu, but Si Yu didn't answer the call. As soon as Mu Xi called, Si Yu couldn't wait to answer.
Mu Xi just turned on the speaker and talked with Si Yu.
"Si Yu, I have my phone turned on right now. There are a few children around, and Yanyan is also here. I have something to ask you."
"Oh? Please speak."
"Where did you get the jade pendant you gave Lin Luo?"
"I got that by chance at the antique market. What's wrong? You like it too?"
Mu Xi looked at Si Yan thoughtfully and said, "Yes, I like it. Do you have any more? Give me one too."
Si Yu's slightly regretful voice came from the mobile phone: "That's unfortunate, I only got that one. If you like jade pendants, ask Si Yan. We should have many more at home. You can choose as you like."
"You are so generous~"
Mu Xi's eyes were bright and he moved his phone towards Si Yan.
"Yanyan, did you hear what your uncle said?"
Si Yan said obediently into the phone: "I heard it, uncle, I will make Aunt Mu satisfied."
Mu Xi took the phone back to his face and continued: "I'm kidding you, who cares about your jade pendant? I just ate with a few children. I saw what you gave me and thought of you. I gave you a call to ask, right?" Now, you still live on the mountain?"
"Yes, I'm used to such quiet days." Si Yu paused, "Sorry, I suddenly have something to deal with."
"Okay, let's talk next time."
Mu Xi hung up the phone and said firmly:
"Si Yu is lying. He didn't buy this jade pendant at the antique market, and he's not on the mountain now."
Si Yan stared, "Why do you say that?"
Mu Xi glared at him displeased.
"I have known your uncle since he was young. He has always been clean and dislikes crowds of people. I have never seen him visiting the antique market.
I said I was with you, but he didn't even ask me a single question. He must have known my whereabouts for a long time. He knew I was returning to China, and was afraid that I would ask him to go to the mountains to find him, so he made up a bad excuse and hung up on me. So he is definitely not on the mountain now. "
Wang Yujin applauded Mu Xi excitedly, "You are so awesome."
Lin Luo asked: "Since you think he is lying, why don't you expose him and find out the truth?"
"I just judge based on my feelings without objective evidence. Of course, my feelings are always accurate. Moreover, based on my experience, he is glib and won't tell even if I ask."
Mu Xi unfolded the jade pendant in his hand, looking confused.
"No matter where Si Yu got this jade pendant, with his spiritual power, he would not have known that this jade pendant came from a fragment of the soul-guarding jade, but he still gave the jade pendant to the Wang family's children."
Mu Xi looked at Lin Luo in confusion.
"What did he say to you when he gave you the jade pendant?"
"Nothing special."
Lin Luo tried hard to recall the scene at that time.
"It was at my parents' wedding not long ago. Uncle Si Yu said that he often heard his father mention me. After finally meeting him, he gave me a gift and told me to take it, so he gave me the jade pendant."
"It really doesn't sound like anything special... I also heard about the wedding of the third room of the Wang family some time ago abroad."
Mu Xi thought about it and looked towards Lin Luo unconsciously.
I have to say, this little girl is really good-looking. The ancient costume in the TV series looks heroic, but the modern costume in reality looks a bit more cute, but she looks a bit familiar like this.
"Lin Luo, you are 22 years old this year. Am I remembering correctly?"
When Mu Xi watched the TV series, he read the actor's information. The actress who played the heroine had just graduated from college.
Lin Luo responded subconsciously, "Yes, that's right."
Mu Xi looked at her inquiringly, and after pondering for a moment, he said:
"When I was young, I had some interactions with Wang Zhizhou. Wang Zhizhou 22 years ago seemed to have just graduated from college. Didn't I hear that he married young and had a daughter?"
Lin Luo and Si Yan looked at each other, hesitating whether to reveal Lin Luo's identity.
Wang Yujin was the first to speak: "Aunt Mu, the love story of my third uncle and my third aunt started when they were in college. Don't you know that my third uncle has been secretly in love with my third aunt since his freshman year?"
"Really?" Mu Xi's attention was attracted by the gossip, "Is Wang Zhizhou still so innocent?"
Lin Luo sat back in her seat with peace of mind. As expected, no one could resist eating melon, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"My third uncle is not only innocent, he is also absolutely infatuated! My third aunt is a senior sister two years older than him. In order to see third aunt often, third uncle, a tall man, took the initiative to participate in third aunt's cooking. Society, caused quite a stir..."
Wang Yujin did not begrudge Wang Zhizhou's face, and used the love story of Wang Zhizhou's pursuit of Lin Manqing to successfully divert Mu Xi's attention and make Mu Xi very happy.
This meal finally had a lot of excitement, and at least the host and the guest enjoyed themselves in the end.
Mu Xi returned the jade pendant to Lin Luo.
"Since this is a meeting gift from Si Yu, you should take it well. It will also be beneficial to your practice of Xuanmen magic."
After the meal, the group returned to the hospital.
Si Yan packed his luggage in his ward and applied for discharge. He was going home to visit his grandma.
Ah Yuan reluctantly hid behind the door to watch him, and Si Yan was so happy that he wanted to take him home.
Lin Luo took Mu Xi to see Mu Yao's attending doctor and discussed Mu Yao's injury and the precautions that family members should pay attention to when caring for patients.
Mu Xi, who learned that Lin Luo was also living in the hospital, proposed to live with Lin Luo.
Worried that he could not panic, Lin Luo directly gave the room to Mu Xi, packed his things, and was about to move home.
Aunt Mu Xi seems to be very reliable. Mu Yao is in stable condition and Lin Shiqin is taking care of her, so Lin Luo can rest assured. Her long stay in the hospital will inevitably arouse Mu Xi's suspicion.
Moreover, at the studio, her manager Qiu Han had already urged her many times.
