The leader is also in the entertainment industry

This gift was not sent out after all.

The owner of the antique shop cheerfully sent them out, standing at the door and bowing again and again.

That piece of beautiful jade with cracks was naturally bought by that gentle Chinese.

Later, he pointed out a pair of vases as a gift, paid the money and cut off his hands before telling himself that the pair of Ge Kilns, which he had always regarded as imitations, were the real thing.

If it were resold at the real value, the price would not be lower than that piece of jade.

The boss secretly sighed that he had lost his sight, but he admired this young man who looked less than 30 years old from the bottom of his heart.If it weren't for the two of them leaving in a hurry, they really wanted to keep him here, and the two of them would have a good exchange and exchange ideas.

Mu Yuanxiu hasn't said a word since he left the store.

While driving the car, Leo secretly observed the people sitting beside him.

To be honest, he was worried, he had never seen Mu Yuanxiu like this.

He sat there silently, constantly rubbing the newly acquired jade pendant in his hands, but there was no brilliance in his eyes.

Yes, his eyes lacked the usual calmness, indifference, disdain, and enthusiasm that burst out occasionally.

The sky above Beverly Hills is bright and bright, with stars twinkling and shining, but those dark eyes are like black holes.The pieces of starlight seemed to be sucked into a black hole, dead, sinking, and extinguished.

If he hadn't been sitting beside him, his chest was still heaving, and his fingers kept stroking the inexplicable jade pendant, he would almost have suspected that the people around him were dead.

He wanted to say something, gag as usual, please him as usual, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything.

Because he didn't know anything, he didn't know anything about this person in the past 30 years.

Leo held the steering wheel tightly, his heart hurt like a knife.

He hates himself for being incompetent, he hates that he doesn't know anything and can't do anything.

It wasn't until now that he realized that his so-called "sincere pursuit" was actually flirting with Caesar and teasing Wu Kaiyan, which was really not very clever.

He wanted to be close to him, he wanted to hug him and protect him.

But now, he can only choose to remain silent.

Because he knew that the Mu Yuanxiu he liked was not an ordinary person.

He is a man stronger than anyone else, standing upright.

He doesn't need cheap sympathy.

after a long time

Closing his eyes, Mu Yuanxiu put the jade pendant into his arms.

"All right?"

Leo asked, turning his face to the side.

"All right."

Opening his eyes again, Mu Yuanxiu looked back at him.

"Thank you."

Leo smiled and stepped on the accelerator hard.

Mu Yuanxiu touched the jade pendant on his chest, feeling its warmth, as if it had always been there.

The familiar lines, the shapes and patterns that can be drawn with eyes closed.The ghost-like characters on the jade pendant represent the supreme authority of the cult.

This is the token of the leader of the cult, and each generation of leader will hand over this jade pendant to his successor before he dies.

Only those who own this jade pendant can enter the sanctuary of the cult and open the door at the end of the secret path.

After that, it was the cult that accumulated wealth for generations in the desert.

It was precisely because of this that until the moment before he died, he held the jade pendant tightly.

I'd rather burn jade and stone together than let the treasures of the cult fall into the hands of those so-called "decent sects" who are more vicious than the cult.

The cracks on it should have been left when he jumped off the cliff at that time.

From 500 years ago to 500 years later, from the Western Regions of China to America on the other side of the ocean.

What I thought I would never have the chance to meet again in this life, but met again under such a chance meeting.

Mu Yuanxiu rolled down the car window and looked at the boundless starry sky.

Perhaps, there is really something silently pulling in this world, and his rebirth is not an unexplainable coincidence?

※※※

The car slowly slid into a villa of the Brand family in Beverly Hills, and the butler gracefully stood at the door and bowed to them.

As soon as I entered the room, I didn't meet the expected crowd of people.

More than a dozen people were scattered in every corner of the living room and chatted quietly. When they saw Leo coming in, they got up and hugged him.

"nephew!"

Wu Kaiyan rushed down the stairs in a beautiful evening dress, and excitedly grabbed Mu Yuanxiu's arm.

"How is it? Do I look good?"

She turned around triumphantly so that Mu Yuanxiu could observe carefully.

"Does it look like a princess? Isn't it dreamy?"

"It's very dreamy."

Mu Yuanxiu pulled his arm out of hers.

"I've been dreaming all day, are you happy?"

"Nephew, are you angry? Are you angry at me for missing work without reason?"

Wu Kaiyan sensed his displeasure sensitively, and took a step back sensibly.

After going out today, he was stopped by Caesar, saying that today is the birthday of his mother, Mrs. Bland, and he wanted a lady to help him choose a birthday present.

At that time, she also thought about telling Mu Yuanxiu.

But Caesar said that Leo would definitely take Mu Yuanxiu to the birthday party today, so don't waste it if we can meet anyway.Without waiting for her to think about it, Caesar put down the phone she had picked up for her.

The next half day was so dazzling that she completely forgot about it.

Caesar took her to an extremely luxurious clothing store in the Upper East Side, and those clothes that she had only seen in magazines and the Internet appeared in front of her one by one, and hung on her body one by one.

She was then taken to a hair salon.

She swore that she saw several Hollywood stars in the salon, and those people who seemed to be on the other side of the cloud got up and came to greet Caesar after seeing Caesar, and even she got a lot of glory.

Every step out of the salon is like stepping on a cloud.

Then there are countless boutiques, custom shoe stores, and VIP services in high-end department stores. Wu Kaiyan felt that she was just dreaming with her eyes open, daydreaming all morning.

Then when they came to this huge villa in Beverly Hills with their big bags and small bags in their sports cars, the sweet dream finally reached its peak.

And she finally forgot completely.

"Goodbye then."

Mu Yuan adjusted his clothes.

"I will try my best to find someone to take over your work in China. Even if I can't find someone for a while, she will come to help me. I will send someone to settle your salary and bonus after returning to China, and then remit it to you account. Goodbye, then."

Saying that, he turned to leave.

"Nephew...I, I...I just missed work for half a day, why did it become like this?"

For the first time, Wu Kaiyan felt that clumsy tongue was such a desperate thing.Stamping his feet, he couldn't organize a verbal rebuttal for a long time.

Mu Yuanxiu was really disappointed.

He could clean up the mess for her, but he couldn't accept her hiding anything from him.

Having already experienced an unforgettable betrayal, Mu Yuanxiu's trust in people can already be described as "walking on thin ice".

But this girl violated his biggest taboo.

Mu Yuanxiu felt the warmth from the jade pendant on his chest.

That piece of holy jade bears an indelible crack because of betrayal.

Seeing that Mu Yuanxiu was about to leave, Wu Kaiyan was so scared and anxious that she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Is it necessary to force a little girl into such a situation? After all, you are a gentleman, why is your heart smaller than the eye of a needle?"

A gentle but sharp voice sounded from behind Mu Yuanxiu.

"lady……"

Wu Kaiyan's eyes were red, and she pulled the hand of a woman walking by with a crying voice, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Ma'am, help me... I... woo..."

Mu Yuanxiu turned around, and what he saw was a blond woman with blue eyes, but wearing a gold silk cheongsam with a stand-up collar embroidered with peony flowers. The scene of Wu Kaiyan crying in his arms in a cumbersome European retro style.

There are really paradoxical pictures everywhere.

Especially the blond woman wearing a cheongsam with all her hair tied up on top of her head and a Chinese-style hairpin spitting out a series of fluent and weird Beijing movies...

"You are Mrs. Brand? The mother of Leo and Caesar?"

Mu Yuanxiu asked.

"Yes, I am Mrs. Bland. But you can call me Tracy. You are also here to attend my birthday party, so..."

Mrs. Bland stretched out her hand, and Mu Yuanxiu glanced at the crying Wu Kaiyan, and stretched out his hand to shake her.

"It's a great honor to attend your birthday party. I wish you a happy birthday. Sorry, I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for her excuse to stay, Mu Yuanxiu bowed respectfully, then turned and walked outside.

It is so merciless to be so straightforward.

"Mr. Mu, please stay."

Caesar stepped in front of Mu Yuanxiu and stretched out his hand to stop him.

Not in the mood to entangle with this group of people, Mu Yuanxiu took half a step back, and an invisible phantom bypassed him, striding into the garden.

Caesar, who wanted to stop him, stood there in a daze, looking at his empty hand.

"Yuan Xiu, Yuan Xiu, where are you going?"

Here, after Li Ou greeted a group of relatives, he turned around and Mu Yuanxiu was nowhere to be seen.

When he walked to the stairs, he saw Wu Kaiyan and the other three people stunned. Following their gaze, Mu Yuanxiu had already reached the gate.

Before thinking too much, Leo let go and chased him out.

"Is this gentleman leaving just after he arrived? Could it be because my wife didn't greet me well?"

When Mu Yuanxiu walked to the gate, a black Rolls Royce stopped slowly, blocking his way.

A middle-aged man collapsed from the top, looked at Mu Yuanxiu with an uneasy expression, and smiled gently.

※※※

Mu Yuanxiu sat in the small living room of Brand's house, looking at the three men sitting in a row opposite.

After the banquet, Mrs. Brand's relatives and friends all left one after another, leaving only the four of them, Mu Yuanxiu and Wu Kaiyan, sitting in the small living room to enjoy the exquisite dessert.

Caesar, fully inherited the blood of his mother Trish.He has blond hair and green eyes, his face is as sharp as a knife, and he has a strong figure. It is basically impossible to see that he has a little bit of oriental blood.

Although Leo also has blond hair and dark green eyes, his facial lines are soft, and the angle of his nose is not as sharp as his brother and mother, which can be regarded as a combination of the advantages of both parents.

As for this Mr. Brand...

Mu Yuanxiu turned his head, looked at Mr. Christian Oscar Brand, and took a deep breath.

If it is said that when he first saw Leo's face on the street, he was taken aback by this face that was [-]% similar to Hao Peifeng, then it is said that one-half of this face was seen at the gate of the villa today. With Chinese blood, the Brand family was completely shocked when they were in charge.

After all, Leo has the appearance of an eighth/nine-point foreigner. If we say he looks like him, his unruly demeanor is more like that person than his appearance.

But this Mr. Christine...

Mu Yuanxiu couldn't restrain himself from looking at that face that had appeared countless times in his dreams - that face was the same as this one, with a faint smile on the corners of his eyes and mouth.

That face is the same as this one. He has good-looking eyebrows and eyes, like an oasis in the desert, unrestrained but unexpectedly soft.

Mu Yuanxiu couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't died, if he hadn't betrayed him, if they could live another ten, twenty years, would they be what they are now when that person gets old?

"Mr. Mu has been looking at me... May I ask why?"

Unexpectedly, this film and television tycoon ranked No. [-] in the United States is a gentle and elegant man, with the free and easy of the West and the gentleness of the East, without any pretensions.

He put down the black tea in his hand, and handed the silver tray containing cookies to Mu Yuanxiu.

Mu Yuanxiu was never interested in this kind of sweets, but he still accepted it.

"what?"

Wu Kaiyan, who was familiar with his taste, sat aside and looked at him strangely.

"Like an old friend of mine."

Mu Yuanxiu nodded.

"I was also shocked when I first saw Leo."

Leo looked up.

He looks like Yuanxiu's friend?

"Really? I'd love to meet that friend of yours, if possible."

Mr. Bland smiled under his breath.

"Basically there is no chance."

Mu Yuanxiu lowered his head, "He should have passed away many years ago."

"I am sorry……"

Mr. Bland sighed.

"Oh, dear, don't talk about this, why don't we look at the photos together? Dear Mu, Leo told you that this kid was raised as a girl since he was a child! When he knew he was a boy, Caesar is very sad. I will go find his childhood photo album and show you."

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a deadlock, Mrs. Brand clapped her hands and said happily.

"mom!"

Leo and Caesar shouted angrily at the same time.

After a while, Mrs. Bland came down with a few thick photo albums and spread them out on the sofa.

"This is when he was six years old. Isn't this tutu cute? Look at this little hat, oh, it was made by his aunt himself."

Mrs. Bland opened the photo album and pointed to the photos that were "unbearable" for Leo, and said excitedly.

"Leo, were you pretty when you were young? Is the handsome guy next to you Caesar? You two have a really good relationship!"

Wu Kaiyan couldn't help but move to his side and said excitedly.

"Tsk..."

Leo and Caesar turned their heads away at the same time.

"This is when Leo was just born. Although it is a black and white photo, his crib is pink... What about this..."

Mrs. Bland was still talking, and Mu Yuanxiu casually flipped through another photo album that looked older.

He was completely fascinated by the people in the album after seeing only the first one.

It was an oriental girl about [-] or [-] years old, wearing the popular costumes of the Republic of China in the last century, with a wide cardigan on top and a horse-faced skirt from the late Qing Dynasty.The slightly bloated appearance could not conceal the aura exuding from the girl's body, and her big eyes were shining brightly.

On the girl's chest was a jade pendant, the size of half a palm. Although the photo had turned slightly yellow, it seemed that the brilliance of it could still be seen.

Under the yellowed photo, there are a few words written in ink: ten years of the Republic of China, taken in Shanghai

"Hao Yunqing..."

He looked at the words written on the photo and read.

"Why did you take out this book? It's been a long time since I saw it."

Mr. Bland turned sideways and looked at the person in the photo.

"This is my mother, and Yun Qing is her name."

Mr. Brand smiled shyly, "Actually, I also have a Chinese name, which was given by my mother. It's called Hao Dehou."

"Your mother's surname is Hao?"

Mu Yuanxiu carefully took the photo out of the album.

A crazy idea suddenly rushed into his mind.

"Yes, my mother's surname is Pei, and she is the eldest daughter of Pei's family in Changzhou, Jiangnan. Later, she went to Shencheng with her great-grandfather who was in business, and entered the leading women's university at that time. It was also because of this that she met my father."

Brand said proudly.

"This brother is here to greet you. My younger brother's surname is Pei, and his ancestral home is Changzhou."

The door of memory was suddenly opened, and a person came from 500 years ago and bowed slightly to himself.
