Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi hadn't seen each other since Maggie's birthday, and the two met again at He Kaipin's wedding.

The marriage between the He family and the Duan family was arranged at the top hotel in Jiangcheng - the Intercontinental Hotel.On the day of the wedding, the He family dispatched a whole convoy to pick up the bride.

The congratulatory people along the way all received rewards, which can be described as extremely ostentatious.

The eldest son of the He family, He Kaicheng, was wearing a light blue gown, greeting guests in the hall.When Xia's family arrived, He Kaicheng saluted Xia Gongcheng and said, "Hi Uncle Xia, please come here."

Xia Gongcheng smiled and praised: "Kaisheng, you are capable. Under your management, the business of the sugar factory is steadily increasing, right?"

"Uncle's reputation is too high, and it's getting more and more difficult to do business." He Kaicheng said without any concealment, "It's just doing everything we can."

After Xia Gongcheng sat down, he led Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingrui to a table with the younger generation: "Please sit down."

Xia Jingsheng nodded. He was not very familiar with the eldest son of the He family. He just felt that he was not as easy to get along with as He Kaipin and He Kaiqing. Don't be angry.

Xia Jingrui was also a little apprehensive of him, it's rare that he didn't act like a demon anymore, he just sat on the table and quietly ate snacks.

After half a cup of tea, the Sun family also came.

Sun Wenxi's seat happened to be on Xia Jingsheng's left, and as soon as he took his seat, he immediately cast veiled gazes from all directions.

The two remained silent, like two strangers who had never met before.

Xia Jingrui kowtowed the melon seeds while sizing up the two of them. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Yo, this is to avoid suspicion."

Although Xia Jingrui said something wrong, he said it right.

Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi both avoided suspicion, and this situation became more obvious when the banquet started.

The two of them ate in silence at the same time, but accidentally bumped their chopsticks while picking up food.

Like an electric shock, the two put away their chopsticks at the same time.

Sun Wenxi looked at the attractive abalone on the plate, and said, "You go first."

"You should go first." Xia Jingsheng refused.

"You first." Sun Wenxi insisted.

"You..." Before Xia Jingsheng could speak, an abalone was already lying in the bowl.

Sun Wenxi directly gave him the abalone.

Xia Gongcheng was sitting at the table with the elders, just in time to see this scene, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Look, how decent is this?" Xia Gongcheng put down his teacup heavily, and stared at Sun Qiman.

Sun Qiman was very calm, watching the interaction between the two juniors with a smile, and said warmly: "Hey, it's not unusual for these juniors to have a good relationship."

Xia Gongcheng's staring eyes were filled with the principles of propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame, which was blocked by Sun Qiman's words.

The most excited people in the audience were the reporters from the gossip tabloids. Originally, Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi didn't interact with each other the whole time, and they were muttering in their hearts. Now, seeing Sun Wenxi pick up vegetables for Xia Jingsheng, he quickly pressed the shutter.

Amidst the sound of shutters, Xia Jingsheng stared at the abalone in the bowl, not knowing how to put the chopsticks at all, and only hoped that the wedding ceremony could start soon.

But after waiting for a long time, the wedding ceremony did not start.

The dishes on the table were not to his taste, Xia Jingsheng took two mouthfuls and then put down his chopsticks.

Some people in the hall couldn't sit still anymore. Although they didn't complain loudly out of concern for the He family's face, they were all whispering.

Seeing this, He Kaicheng had no choice but to stand up to appease everyone.

At this moment, the butler of the He Mansion ran in in a panic and whispered something in He Kaicheng's ear.

He Kaicheng's face darkened, and he raised his voice: "What did you say?"

For a while, the reporters smelled the gossip, and pointed their cameras at He Kaicheng one after another.

"Why are you standing around when everyone is gone, go find it!" He Kaicheng's words completely turned the wedding scene into a mess.

Everyone is asking, who is missing?Why didn't you see me?

At first, the He family sent people to maintain the situation, but after half an hour, they simply withdrew all the servants.

After stopping and asking, I realized that the marriage could not be completed today, and the groom had not arrived, so all the servants set off to find someone.

The Patriarch of the He Family, He Ming, came to the hall in person to apologize to the distinguished guests, and return all the gift money received. Even so, some people still cursed when they left the house.

When the people dispersed, He Ming stood in the empty banquet hall, looking at the leftovers in the room, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

At this time, He Kaiqing hurried over wearing a bridesmaid's dress, and said to Xia Jingsheng, "Brother Jingsheng, do you have a magic method for finding people? Sister Yilian was about to faint from crying in the room, I really can't bear it."

When He Ming heard this, he became refreshed. For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Xia Jingsheng.

Xia Jingsheng asked He Kaiqing to hold the bronze mirror according to the old method.

The figure of He Kaipin slowly appeared in the mirror, but this time, the expressions of all the people present changed.

He Kaipin was actually at the top of a building. His face was pale, he looked tired, and he was covering his ears and muttering desperately to himself.

"It's Henry Hotel!" He Kaiqing exclaimed, "What are you trying to do?!"

"Quick, come and stop him!" He Ming shouted with a trembling voice.

Fortunately, the Henry Hotel is next to the Intercontinental Hotel, and it takes only three to five minutes to walk there.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Henry Hotel, and the butler led a group of people up to the rooftop, and shouted at He Kaipin: "Second Young Master, what are you doing?! Come down quickly! Today is a day of great joy..."

Before he finished speaking, He Kaipin yelled like crazy: "Ah, ah, shut up!"

Seeing him stepping out of the railing with one foot, the butler immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, and stepped back again and again: "Second Young Master, I won't go over, don't be impulsive!"

But the housekeeper's concession did not appease He Kaipin. He stared at him as if possessed, covered his ears with his hands, and kept saying, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

After a long while, he looked at the crowded downstairs again, his eyes were loose and he said, "Will you forgive me as long as I jump from here?"

At the same time, Xia Jingsheng frowned and said, "His state is very wrong, as if he was controlled by something."

As soon as the words fell, He Kaipin had fallen from the top floor of Henry Hotel.

He Ming closed his eyes in despair. Everyone thought that He Kaipin was in danger, but they didn't expect someone to grab He Kaipin's hand suddenly.

It was a thin little old man with shining eyes, no one could see where he came from.

With great strength, the old man pulled He Kaipin up at once.

Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi quickly ran up to the top floor, and saw He Kaipin lying on the floor of the roof, and the housekeeper was trying to shout: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master!"

The white-bearded old man just now had disappeared.

"Who was that just now?" Sun Wenxi asked in surprise.

Xia Jingsheng grabbed He Kaipin's wrist, and after a closer look, he found that there were two strands of pale yellow hair on it.

"It's this thing." Xia Jingsheng held the hair between his fingers and handed it to Sun Wenxi.

"It looks like... animal hair." Sun Wenxi frowned.

"It's fox fur."

"Fox? You mean that old man with a white beard just now is a fox? Could it be... the Immortal Baojia?" Sun Wenxi laughed.

"You know Baojiaxian?" This time it was Xia Jingsheng's turn to be surprised.

"Baojiaxian is a very common god of good fortune in the north. Many people worship it, and I have heard of it."

Baojiaxian, also known as Huhuang Erxian, is the family god who protects the house and welcomes blessings. When someone in the family is in danger, Baojiaxian will show up to protect.The old man with the white beard just now is the Baojiaxian enshrined by the He family.

Only then did He Ming come upstairs out of breath. Seeing He Kaipin's crazy appearance, He Ming immediately grabbed Xia Jingsheng's hand.

"What's going on here? This man is very good. How could he become like this?"

Xia Jingsheng looked at He Kaipin. It was only a month since the last dance, but He Kaipin seemed to be suffering from a serious illness. His face was sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was thin and thin.

He was still mumbling something, Xia Jingsheng listened closer, and found that it was the same sentence over and over again: "I know I was wrong, please, let me go."

He Ming said with a bitter face, "Son, let's go home."

Unexpectedly, when He Kaipin heard this sentence, he immediately struggled violently, and the servants at the side could hardly suppress him.

"I won't go back! I won't go back! There are ghosts, there are ghosts at home, I won't go back!"

He Ming's face was ashen, and he frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the house is in good order, there are no ghosts!"

He Kaipin was quite stubborn about this matter, and he was always procrastinating and refusing to leave.In the end, it was Sun Wenxi who directly knocked the man out with a knife in his hand, and the servants were able to carry him back smoothly.

He Ming forcibly squeezed out a smile: "I made the two of you laugh."

Xia Jingsheng said sternly: "Uncle, there is no need to be like this. Ghosts and gods are like lesions. Once they are found, they must be eradicated in time, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

He Ming nodded, then shook his head: "I specially invited someone to look at the layout of the house at home. Everything is arranged according to the best Feng Shui. There is no possibility of ghosts. Kaipin must be confused."

Xia Jingsheng smiled and didn't speak any more.

After the He family left, Sun Wenxi looked at the silent Xia Jingsheng, and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"I'm sorry." Xia Jingsheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I didn't expect that there would be a reporter that day."

From Sun Wenxi's angle, he could just see the fair neck beyond the collar. With a smile in his eyes, he said softly, "Then how can you compensate me?"

Xia Jingsheng didn't expect him to say this, so he raised his head in surprise for a moment, and said in a low voice for a while, "I can... publish a newspaper to clarify."

"Pfft!" Sun Wenxi laughed, "Let them talk about chasing rumors."

On the way back, the car passed a small stall selling chestnuts. Sun Wenxi stopped the car and said to Xia Jingsheng, "Wait for me for a while."

Not long after, he got into the car with a bag of fried chestnuts, and stuffed the chestnuts into Xia Jingsheng's arms.

"Take it home and eat it. I saw you didn't eat much."

Xia Jingsheng was holding the hot roasted chestnuts, but he didn't come to his senses for a while.
