After my epilepsy, the entire entertainment industry shunned me like a snake or a scorpion.

"Ah."

"Not for sale."

Yin Jiu restrained the curve of his lips and his face instantly fell, rejecting Meng Shuo mercilessly.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shuo looked at him with a strange look, and moved his lips twice: "Who said I want to buy it?"

Yin Jiu was even more confused when he heard this: "Are you going to rob me by force, buddy?"

She subconsciously shrank her neck and took a few steps back, looking at him as if she were looking at some ferocious beast, a wolf, a tiger or a leopard.

Meng Shuo: "..."

"I just want to borrow it."

"No loan."

Yin Jiu looked like he would not listen to anything.

In fact, she only ate oil and salt.

Knowing that Yin Jiu would refuse as he expected, Meng Shuo's expression did not change much.

He picked up the hot tea on the table to moisten his throat, then put the cup down again and asked a random question.

"Would you like to hear the story of the Meng family?"

My intuition told me that this had something to do with her necklace.

Yin Jiu made a gesture of invitation, signaling him to continue: "Tell me about it."

Meng Shuo did not keep the secret, but told the story of his parents from the beginning: "My mother used to be the secretary of the Lu family."

With just a few words, Yin Jiu was controlled.

"Yes, my mother's last name is also Meng. For some reason, she left the Lu Group and chose to go back and marry my cousin who had no blood relationship with her in the family. Later, she and my cousin, who is my father, had me and Meng Yi."

Yin Jiu recalled what Lu Cenyan had told her when she first came to the old house: "Your mother was Mr. Lu's secretary at the time?"

"That's right." Meng Shuo nodded and said nothing more. "You should know that my father's first love was Lin Ziran's mother. He had no feelings for my mother. Although he was not a good husband, he was a good father after all. During the time when he was married to my mother, they treated each other with respect, but my mother fell in love with my father during their time together."

"Your father doesn't like your mother?"

She only had a vague understanding of what Meng Shuo had said to her, so Yin Jiu did not dare to make any comments on her own.

"I can't say I like her, I just can't forget my first love." Meng Shuo sighed and continued, "When my brother and I were three years old, his first love divorced. But because my brother and I were born, he couldn't pursue true love. He could only watch her go away. Eventually, his longing for her turned into a disease. When he realized that there was something wrong with his body, he made up his mind to divorce my mother. My mother took my brother away, and I followed my father. Just one year after the divorce, he was terminally ill and there was no cure."

Yin Jiu listened quietly and motioned for him to continue.

"He didn't look for his first love at the last minute."

"why?"

In the last moments of your life, would you rather miss the past than take another step forward?

"He killed himself."

"When he broke up with his first love, he was already mentally ill, but he didn't take it seriously."

After listening to this, Yin Jiu remained silent. She didn't know how to comfort the other person.

Meng Shuo sneered: "Take your eyes away, there is no need to sympathize with me."

"..."

"Not long after that, my mother also committed suicide. She lost her will to live due to postpartum depression and breast cancer. Meng Yi said that when she died, she was holding a photo of my father in her hand."

Yin Jiu pieced together the general story from the few words he revealed.

"So Meng Yi sold Lin Ziran to Lucheng in order to take revenge on the Shen family?"

She is the only girl left in the Shen family. If something happens to her, the Shen family will surely face internal strife, and Mr. Shen, who is in poor health, is also likely to get angry and have an accident.

"Yes, he wanted the Shen family to experience the pain of losing a loved one, but he didn't expect that the person would be rescued by you." Meng Shuo admitted readily.

"Then Meng Yi wants that necklace, does he want to reset time and go back to the past to save your mother?"

"Yes." Meng Shuo did not deny this, "Because I also wanted to use it to save my father."

But I gave up the idea later.

"So why didn't you save him again?"

"Since you can be reborn, you should know that the development of many things is simply beyond human control. I can't predict the consequences. There are still people I care about in this world. I can't gamble on an uncertain result."

Yin Jiu knew who the "someone he cared about" was, but the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention that name.

But she didn't expect Meng Shuo to have such thoughts.

But the most urgent thing now is not to think about these things. Yin Jiu rubbed his eyes and said, "It would be great if Meng Yi could be as open-minded as you."

She guessed that the reason why Meng Yi wanted to save his mother at all costs was largely because the only way he could get love when he was a child was from his mother. Losing his mother was like losing the stabilizing force in the Dragon Palace, and all his rationality collapsed in an instant.

The trauma of his childhood made him withdrawn and paranoid, and because he witnessed his mother's tragic death in the bathtub, he developed psychological problems.

Over time, these became an obsession.

Meng Yi desperately wanted to go back many years ago to correct all the mistakes, even at all costs.

"You're smarter than he is."

Meng Shuo was right. Rebirth is too bizarre a thing, and you cannot guarantee that uncontrollable factors will occur.

If you make a mistake, the whole game is lost.

"If he could think clearly, he wouldn't go crazy without caring about anything." After saying all this, Meng Shuo and the haze he had been feeling for the past few days were swept away. "Can you give me the necklace?"

"No."

Meng Shuo said so much, but Yin Jiu still rejected him.

"I promised Master Huiwu that I would send the things back."

Meng Shuo had said everything he could think of, and finally he had no choice but to ask, "Don't you want to know how to reset time and space with that necklace?"

"Do not want to."

She doesn't trust anyone now. Who knows if this is Meng Shuo's trick to trick her.

If he is playing the good cop and the bad cop with Meng Yi, what can I do if they change their attitude in an instant after I give them the things?

Seeing that even his confession could not persuade Yin Jiu, Meng Shuo could only stand up and say goodbye.

"It's best to throw the things away. I can't guarantee that after you hand them over to Master Huiwu, Meng Yi will not attack the people of Xuanyin Temple."

"thanks for your reminder."

Yin Jiu was very grateful for everything the other party told him today.

"You're welcome. If you have time to thank me, I'd rather you destroy the things as soon as possible."

Meng Shuo's words were as harsh as ever.

After the other party left, Yin Jiu briefly reviewed what had happened with Lu Cenyan, who was returning home from get off work.

Now this necklace has become a hot potato, neither I can take it nor throw it away.

After careful consideration, Yin Jiu felt that it would be better to throw it away.

If, as Meng Shuo said, he really gave the things to Master Huiwu and brought trouble upon himself, it would be a heinous crime.
