C50 Strange Tonic Soup(1)
He hung up the phone.
Lele held the phone and stared blankly at the gradually darkening screen. She did not recover for a long time.
Wait for me to come back...
The four words were clearly very simple, but it still made Lele raise her beautiful lips...
Her heart palpitated...
Wait for him to come back!!
On New Zealand's end, Xi Muqing thought that he would receive Lele. However, he did not expect it to be a small hexagram. This feeling of missing something made him very unhappy. However, he had no way to express it, so he could only make a call to Lele. However, when he heard her dazed and sleepy voice, it was as if all of his anger had disappeared in an instant, and what was left in the end...
Xi Muqing did not know what kind of emotion that was. He only knew that he wanted to go home! Go back to that home that they did not have much interaction with!
Xi Muqing had just gotten off the plane when he was blocked by a few men in suits.
"Young master, please come with us."
The man in the lead was called Ah Jin. He respectfully bowed to Xi Muqing and compared it with the long black business car parked at the exit.
Xi Muqing frowned and was a bit dissatisfied.
"Grandmother's idea?"
"Yes. The old lady said that the young master and the second miss haven't been home for a long time and have been missing them lately. " Ah Jin spoke respectfully.
"Brother..."
Lin Yin timidly tugged on Xi Muqing's sleeve, her eyes full of innocence, "I... I don't want to go..."
Of course she knew that it was definitely not a good thing for the old lady to personally take action.
"Don't be afraid, I have everything."
After saying that, Xi Muqing looked at Qiao Yiqiao and ordered in a deep voice, "Assistant Qiao, let everyone go home and rest first."
Qiao Yiqiao tactfully led everyone away first.
"I need to go home first." Xi Muqing looked at Ah Jin.
"I'm sorry. The old lady wants you to go there directly. Besides, the young lady is already waiting for you there."
"Young Madam is also there?" Xi Muqing did not understand.
"Yes. The old lady had already sent someone to pick up the young lady. "
"Let's go!" Xi Muqing responded faintly. His expression was slightly restrained. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking at this moment.
As soon as they entered, Lin Yin seemed to be a little afraid of this unfamiliar family. Her little hand clung onto Xi Muqing's arm, and her body subconsciously leaned closer to him.
Shih Bihua, Xi Zhenshan, and Lele, who were sitting in the hall, saw this glaring scene when they looked up.
Shih Bihua's face immediately collapsed.
Lele quietly turned her eyes away.
However, she only felt that there was an extremely hot gaze staring at her urgently. That gaze was too oppressive, to the point that she had no choice but to look at it again.
Without any preparation, Lele's watery eyes met Xi Muqing's deep ocean-like dark eyes. There seemed to be a hurricane hidden there that was crazily sweeping her away.
For some reason, Lele's heart started to beat wildly.
In a hurry, she panicked and turned her eyes away.
"Young Master, Second Miss..."
Mrs Yun led the servants and hurriedly went forward to receive the luggage.
"Yin Yin, quickly come over! Let Dad take a look. It has been a long time since I last saw you, this lass!" Xi Zhenshan rarely showed that kind smile. He waved at the timid Lin Yin.
Lin Yin quickly smiled obediently and welcomed him. "Dad!"
She turned and greeted them politely, "Hello, Aunt Hua."
Shi Bi coldly snorted and her face did not look any better.
"Ms Lele..."
Lele faintly smiled and replied to her.
"Mrs Yun, it's time to eat! Ask someone to invite the old lady down!" Shih Bihua ordered with a dark face.
"Yes."
"I will go!." At this time, Xi Muqing finally spoke.
He took off the gloves on his hands and gave them to the servants. He strode up the stairs with his long legs.
The old man was quickly invited down and sat down at the dining table. Only then did everyone take their seats.
In fact, Lele especially did not like to stay in Xi family. She always gave people a feeling that she could not breathe. For example, right now, everyone seemed to be busy eating and did not say a word.
"Stay here tonight."
Suddenly, the old lady at the top seat spoke.
Lele and Lin Yin simultaneously looked up at her with suspicious expressions.
Xi Muqing put down the bowls and chopsticks and elegantly wiped his mouth with a wet towel. He did not reply.
"Mrs Yun, go and tell the people below to clean up a guest room for Miss Lin."
The old lady's tone was unusually indifferent and distant.
And what she called out was not the 'Second Miss', but 'Miss Lin! Yes! She did not acknowledge Lin Yin as her personal granddaughter, even though she was bleeding the blood of the Xi family!
Lin Yin's face was somewhat pale.
Everyone ate a meal that was filled with mixed flavors. Lele even chewed like wax, not knowing how to taste.
She discovered that everyone in the Xi family seemed to be unfathomable and hard to understand, especially the old lady. She was simply a piece of old ginger.
At night -
Lele was arranged to sleep in Xi Muqing's bedroom. The two of them slept in the same room.
Lin Yin was in the leftmost room on the first floor.
As soon as Xi Muqing entered the room, he started to take out his business notebook and kept it open.
Lele, on the other hand, kept looking around in his room. She looked around and hid her restless state of mind at that moment.
This atmosphere was too strange! Today, there was something wrong with their family! What was this old lady trying to do?
