Having narrowly escaped death, she returned to the Imperial Capital only to discover her true identity. The Jiang family used her up and then abandoned her, yet they came looking for her again to d...
"Weiwei?"
Jiang Feng looked at her with some surprise as she kept scooping food out of her empty bowl.
Xu Wei was brought back to reality by his voice.
"Um."
He gave an awkward smile.
"Want some more?"
Jiang Feng put down the morning paper and asked.
"No, no."
Xu Wei quickly shook her head and forced a smile as she spoke.
"I'm stuffed."
She put down her spoon and got up to leave.
"Mom, you've been so absent-minded this morning, what's wrong?"
Jiang Caiyun noticed that something was wrong with Xu Wei.
She asked, somewhat displeased.
"Is it because your sister didn't come down for dinner?"
"No, it has nothing to do with her."
Xu Wei immediately denied it.
Instead, it felt like they were trying to hide something obvious.
Jiang Xiuye, who was standing to the side, put down his fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"I'm going to the company."
Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Wei, and that look made Xu Wei's heart skip a beat.
Xu Wei's expression became even more unpleasant under Jiang Xiuye's gaze.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
As a doctor, Jiang Xiuyi looked up and asked.
He started his internship at a hospital in Beijing this summer.
"Mom's fine, I'll just go for a walk."
Xu Wei left, clutching her wrist.
Si Jinyan, in his bedroom on the second floor, saw a car drive away; it was Jiang Xiuye.
Then another car drove away, and she saw clearly that the person inside was Xu Wei.
Si Jinyan wondered what had caused the talisman to fail to work last night.
Xu Wei drove away early this morning without arguing or making a scene, which is really not in line with Xu Wei's personality.
Xu Wei must have been frightened by what happened last night.
Who knows, if we follow them, we might learn something incredible.
So she jumped directly from the second-floor floor-to-ceiling window and landed steadily on the ground.
He lightly patted the dust off his clothes and calmly walked out the door.
It startled the servants who were mowing the lawn nearby.
She remembered Xu Wei's license plate number. Since she couldn't use the sword-flying technique in broad daylight, she could only take a taxi and follow her.
"Sir, could you please follow the car in front?"
"Alright, sit tight, miss."
The driver was surprised to encounter such a guest so early in the morning, and his interest was immediately piqued.
After driving for half an hour, the car gradually headed towards a sparsely populated area.
"This is the western cemetery of the city, and there is no road ahead."
The master turned to Si Jinyan and said.
"Who are you visiting so early in the morning? This cemetery has been abandoned for a long time, and now it's not allowed to be buried here anymore. I heard they're going to develop a new project here."
Looking at the cemetery ahead, overgrown with weeds, surrounded by towering trees.
Dodder and other vines hanging from the trees entwined themselves around the broken tombstones.
"That's enough for now, thank you, Master."
Si Jinyan paid the fare and got off the bus. Afraid of being discovered by Xu Wei, she put an invisibility talisman on herself.
The taxi driver saw this eerie scene in his rearview mirror; the girl had vanished on the spot.
Startled, he slammed on the brakes and quickly peered out the window to look back.
"My God, this is ghostly, it's so eerie."
Once I came to my senses, I stepped on the gas and drove off; this place was too eerie.
Xu Wei parked her car in front of the cemetery, right next to some tall trees.
The lush green trees of summer served as a natural barrier, allowing Si Jinyan to swagger around and search for Xu Wei.
Xu Wei simply stood before a broken tombstone, saying nothing, her expression shifting between a slight smile and a deep sadness.
In TV dramas, people are most likely to open up when they are alone, but this is obviously not a TV drama.
Xu Wei kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Si Jinyan stood beside her, looking at the tombstone. There was nothing written on it; it was just a blank tombstone.
After standing there for half an hour, Xu Wei called Jiang Feng.
She said she was going to burn incense, and Jiang Feng seemed to be used to her doing so, so he didn't say much.
Si Jinyan got into the car with Xu Wei, wanting to see where Xu Wei was going.
When Xu Wei stopped again, it was two hours later.
Xu Wei had driven at least 100 kilometers, which was clearly outside the capital city limits.
The surrounding area was a continuous mountain range, and the car followed a winding mountain road all the way to the top of the mountain.
We ended up at a temple.
Jingci Temple?
When did Xu Wei become a Buddhist?
"Madam, it's been a long time."
A steady voice came from outside the car.
Si Jinyan looked out the car window and saw a middle-aged monk with a kind face and a rather good appearance.
"Master Huijue, it's been a long time."
Xu Wei greeted the monk as soon as she got out of the car.
For a fleeting moment, Si Jinyan sensed that the monk was looking at her, and she immediately shrank back into the car.
This monk's cultivation is not weak; this is Si Jinyan's intuition.
She had no choice but to conceal her presence and wait for the two footsteps to fade into the distance.
Si Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly changed. Could this monk be the one who prayed for her and Jiang Caiyun back then?
They say she's a jinx sent from heaven, destined to cause chaos in the Jiang family.
Jiang Caiyun is a lucky star and will bless the Jiang family to achieve great success.
