Peng Mingjun missed his target and immediately ran away, clutching his stomach. The rest of the group also quietly left.
Xinghe saw it, but she didn't say anything.
She's a law-abiding citizen, she can't really kill them, can she?
Besides, there's another good show waiting for them in three days.
Xinghe looked away, her cat-like eyes crinkling slightly. "Thank you for today."
The handsome man shook his head. "Perhaps you don't need my help."
His gaze held a hint of scrutiny.
He didn't miss the moment when Xinghe appeared in front of him in an instant; this was something no ordinary person could do.
"No matter what, you helped me."
Xinghe isn't obsessed with looks, but she's more accommodating to people who look like that.
The handsome man was incredibly good-looking, several times more exquisite and beautiful than the fairy-like boy in the cupboard she first saw when she came down from the mountain.
Seeing such beautiful things, Xinghe's mood improved, and her cat-like eyes couldn't help but curve into a smile.
The handsome man put his hand to his mouth, coughed twice, and his lips turned even paler. "The rain is too heavy. Where do you live? I can give you a ride if you need it."
As they were talking, Uncle Sun's car arrived. He hurried over with an umbrella, saying, "Miss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The rain was too heavy, and there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road ahead. I'm late."
Xinghe said, "It's alright, Uncle Sun."
She glanced at the handsome man in front of her again, then took out a lucky charm from her bag. "It will make you feel better these next couple of days. Here you go."
It's so expensive, but I'll give it to him because he's so good-looking!
The handsome man chuckled softly and reached out to take it. "Thank you."
His fingertips touched Xinghe's hand, which was icy cold, like a piece of cold jade.
"If the Peng family and the Jiang family come looking for you again, you can give them my name: Jiang family, Jiang Yezhou."
On the bus.
Uncle Sun hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "How does Miss know the Jiang family?"
Xinghe: "It was raining heavily just now, and when he saw me standing in the rain, he let me take shelter from the rain for a while."
Xinghe didn't want this matter to reach Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen's ears, so she made up a random excuse to brush it off.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "This name sounds familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"The Jiang family is quite remarkable. They have been high-ranking officials since the Ming and Qing dynasties. During that period, they used all their resources to support the Dragon Kingdom. Now, several members of their family still hold important positions in the military."
"Besides these, their family's businesses are spread all over the M and Y continents. No one knows their exact background, and no one dares to offend them."
Uncle Sun couldn't stop talking about these gossips. "The Jiang family has been extremely low-key these past few years. We haven't heard from them in a long time. It's said that their newly appointed head of the family is seriously ill."
"However, these are all hearsay; we don't even know whether their family head is male or female."
Xinghe: "The Jiang family? No wonder."
Jiang Yezhou was surrounded by a thick layer of white light.
That was the light of national protection, indicating that their ancestors had participated in many major events to save the nation's fate. A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings, and this protection extended to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived this long.
Besides the layer of white light protecting him, there was also a thick aura of malevolence surrounding him.
It wasn't an aura of malevolence, but simply pure malevolent energy, so dense it felt as if hundreds of evil spirits were living inside the body.
It was thanks to the protection of the white light that he survived; otherwise, this level of malevolent energy would have killed him when he was born.
However, it seems he won't be able to hold out for much longer. The black evil energy has already taken over nine-tenths of his body, leaving only one-tenth of the white light to stubbornly resist. Before long, he will be completely devoured by the evil energy and die a violent death.
What's even stranger is his fate.
This was the first person Xinghe encountered whose destiny she couldn't see clearly, aside from those close to her.
Ye Ning and the others were waiting at the door of the house. Xinghe saw Ye Ning as soon as he came out of the garage.
Xinghe felt a moment of guilt. This dress was bought by Ye Ning from abroad, and she had only worn it once. There were some mud spots on the cuffs, and the dress was mostly wet from the rain.
Will she be angry?
Xinghe was a little apprehensive.
Ye Ning frowned when she saw Xinghe's appearance. She reached out and tapped Xinghe's head. "Silly girl, didn't you know to find a shop to wait for Uncle Sun? Your clothes are all soaked."
Xinghe looked at the dark water stains on her sleeve, her cat-like eyes drooping slightly. "Sorry, my clothes are dirty."
This was the first gift she received besides the old man. That night, holding the gifts from Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen, Xinghe rolled around on the bed several times.
She had just wiped the car with a towel, but water stains were still visible.
"You're all tired from being in the rain. If your clothes are dirty, just wash them. Go upstairs and change. I had them unload everything from the plane and hang it in your walk-in closet."
Ye Ning pushed Xinghe onto the elevator, Xinghe's eyes still held a hint of confusion.
Won't I get scolded if I get the gift dirty?
She doesn't know how to get along with her family. The old man often acts like a child who never grows up, and the two of them argue whenever they meet.
She had no experience with these things.
The walk-in closet was filled with a dazzling array of clothes, bags, and accessories, which were hung up according to style, color, length, and type, creating a magnificent sight.
Galaxy: ...
"My dear, I've never seen so many clothes before."
Jin Tong's eyes lit up. "Wow!! This is so beautiful! It makes you look like a little princess!"
"This one looks good too! What a beautiful dress."
"My sister looks so cool in this."
The young lady also circled the dressing room.
Then on the other side, they found a large cabinet, which contained small pieces of clothing.
Jade Maiden, "What is this?"
Xinghe and the others also looked over. They saw that all the clothes were tiny, palm-sized, and were even divided into men's and women's.
Xinghe, "It's for you."
"Hello, Mom! Hello, Sister!" Jin Tong plunged headfirst into the sea of clothes.
The young woman appeared somewhat reserved, yet her eyes couldn't help but linger on the pretty little clothes, her gaze shining brightly.
After a while, Xinghe and the golden boy and jade girl finally changed their clothes and came out.
The clothes originally worn by the Golden Boy and Jade Girl were formed from the essence of heaven and earth at the beginning of their birth. Xinghe had been on the mountain for more than ten years and had no idea that such small clothes existed. This was the first gift they received.
Xinghe wasn't wearing a dress. Of course, she would wear such a beautiful dress when going out. She changed into a simple t-shirt and shorts. Her face was so tender that you could pinch water out of it, and her legs were long, straight, and dazzlingly white.
The boy chose a green dress, while the girl wore a red skirt.
Xinghe opened the door to the walk-in closet and stepped out, only to see Ye Ning waiting in her room.
