Chapter 365: Speak the truth to people and lie to ghosts
The dusk completely swallowed up the last ray of light. After dinner, Meng Anran came to Lu Yi's room.
As soon as I entered the door, I caught a glimpse of the eye-catching red rope on the table.
"What is this?" She walked over and picked it up puzzledly.
A jade pendant was hung on the red rope. The coin-sized piece of mutton-fat white jade was smooth and translucent.
There were many short pieces of red rope scattered on the table. She looked at the red rope that was hooked with the pendant in her hand and saw that it was woven. She immediately understood.
Lu Yi suddenly jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, and rushed over to grab it, "Give it back to me."
Meng Anran clutched the jade pendant tightly and hid it behind her back, acting as domineeringly as if she was robbing someone in a house. "This peace locket is great, it's mine. You've been living here for free for so long, so just consider it your medical fee."
The rope hooked across his fingertips, leaving a tingling sensation. Lu Yi scratched her fluffy silver hair and glared at her mockingly: "When did the young lady start liking such worthless things?"
"This piece of jade is indeed not worth much." Meng Anran looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, twisting the meticulously braided rope with her fingertips, and curled the corners of her lips slightly: "But this rope is very beautiful. Something that I like has value."
Lu Yi sneered, dragged his lazy steps to lie on the couch, tilted his head to look at her, and waved his other hand casually: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Seeing him like this, Meng Anran wanted to roll her eyes. These two brothers were more pretentious than the other. She must have done so much evil in her past life to have these two ex-brothers in this life.
"I'm here to tell you that we'll be leaving for Beijing at nine tomorrow morning, so you should pack your luggage in advance." She sat on the ground, hung the peace locket around her neck, and hid the pendant in her clothes.
"No." Lu Yi sat up, rolled up his sleeves and tore off the gauze tied on his forearm, and skillfully applied medicine to himself - that was the wound caused by a branch when he was catching a snake.
"Lu Heng has already left, and I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow. Are you planning to stay here by yourself?" Meng Anran asked.
"You guys don't have to accompany me anyway." Lu Yi sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound and quickly pulled off a piece of gauze to press on the wound. "If we go back to Beijing, we will still have to live in that house by ourselves. It's like being in prison. It's better to be relaxed here."
"I'm here to inform you, not to discuss anything with you." Meng Anran's tone brooked no room for argument. She stood up and went over to help him wrap the gauze. "The villa is open for business, and I'm worried about leaving you here."
Lu Yi stared at her slender fingers hooked with snow-white gauze, quickly tied a bow on his forearm, his thoughts drifted away for a moment, and he unconsciously uttered: "It looks so beautiful."
"What?" Meng Anran seemed not to have heard clearly and frowned in confusion.
"I said your bandaging skills are pretty good." Lu Yi quickly came to his senses, looked away, and continued her previous topic to divert attention: "I don't want to stay here, and I don't want to go back to Lihuayuan to be imprisoned."
"Don't think too much. I don't have the time to bother with you."
Meng Anran gave him a cold look, took out a pair of car keys from her coat pocket and put them on the table.
"The antidote Lu Heng brought back is very effective, and the research institute has also made new discoveries. Soon the toxins in your body will be completely eliminated. Now that Bai Yujin has been captured and is no longer a threat, you can go wherever you want, just don't stay on my territory and cause trouble."
Lu Yi stared at the car remote on the table, a flash of shock, surprise, disbelief, and incomprehensibleness flashing across his pale pink eyes. He picked up the car key and examined it. The large car logo on it kept reminding him - you read that right!
"Hennessy Venom?" He looked up at Meng Anran, as if wondering if the car key was a lighter.
"Venom" is a global limited edition supercar, the kind that you can't buy even if you have money.
Meng Anran actually managed to get one and even gave it to him to use?
"Don't be touched," Meng Anran calmly packed up the medical supplies on the table, her tone as if she was giving away an ordinary lighter instead of a limited edition supercar. "It's worth spending a small amount of money to send away this great Buddha like you."
Lu Yi scoffed and casually lay down on his side. His eyes, which were born different from those of ordinary people but were particularly charming, locked tightly on Meng Anran. "Sister, your words are so harsh. Why can't you learn to be more gentle and lovely like other sisters?"
"Speak the truth to people and lie to ghosts." Meng Anran packed up the medicine box and met his playful eyes with a half-smile: "You once had a gentle and lovely sister, didn't you?"
After she finished speaking, she no longer gave him any extra glances, picked up her phone and left.
Lu Yi watched her figure gradually disappear through the crack of the door as it closed, and his heart suddenly ached.
It was a suffocating pain that I had never experienced before, as if I was being tightly gripped by a big hand.
She was right, he once had a gentle and lovely sister.
It was he who wiped out all her pure and beautiful sides with his own hands.
Let her put on armor, grow spikes, and become independent and strong so that no one can take advantage of her emotions and hurt her.
Lu Yi clutched the car key. The gift that was originally a surprise now felt like a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds pressing on his heart, reminding him all the time - you are not worthy of being her brother, and you are not worthy of her kindness.
So what?
A sinister smile appeared on Lu Yi's lips, and his eyes fell on the scattered red rope fragments on the tea table.
The fact that my sister still accepted the gift he prepared was enough to show that she had him in her heart.
In this case, he only needs to use some tricks to keep his sister by his side forever.
No one can take away what belongs to him.
…
Qin Mu was leaning against the wall in the corridor waiting for An Xiaoran. When he saw her come out, he immediately stood up and went to greet her.
He forced himself to suppress his worried look, turned it into a gentle expression, and asked, "What did you talk about? You've been in there for so long."
Meng Anran didn't respond, but looked at him thoughtfully.
The strange look in Qin Mu's eyes made him feel uneasy. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Qin Mu, I find that you have a strong possessiveness." Meng Anran said this meaningfully.
Qin Mu suddenly panicked a little, and carefully took her hand and held it in his palm, "If you don't like me, don't ask more questions in the future."
Meng Anran burst out laughing, stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, "Just kidding. We didn't talk about anything special. I just found the peace locket he prepared and took it for myself."
She smiled and showed off the "trophies" she had just picked up.
The red rope was hooked on her finger, and the shadow of the peace locket swayed on the wall.
Qin Mu held up the pendant. Although it was not as good as the peace lock prepared by Lu Heng, it was also made of very good white jade.
And it is more suitable for wearing than the one Lu Heng gave me.
Jade can ward off disasters, and perhaps Lu Yi was also praying in his heart that An Xiaoran would be safe and sound.
