Li Mujiu's eyes flickered.
She explained it so clearly; if I still don't understand, wouldn't I be incredibly stupid?
"May I have your name?"
"You can call me Xinyi."
After saying that, Shangguan Xinyi turned and left. She had been out for so long; it wouldn't be good if Yu Wan came looking for her.
However, the thought of Shangguan Wu's impending doom made Shangguan Xinyi very happy. Even though Yu Wan suspected her, she didn't care at all. Anyway, with her brother around, Yu Wan couldn't cause any trouble.
Because Yu Wan was afraid that her mother would worry, she told her brother everything.
Unfortunately, that was Shangguan Xinyi's own brother.
Therefore, Shangguan Xinyi was well aware of Yu Wan's suspicions about her. Her brother had also taught her how to dispel Yu Wan's suspicions, and all she had to do was listen to her brother.
Even if something happens, her brother will protect her!
Shangguan Xinyi proudly snorted in her heart, "It's not just you, Shangguan Wu, who has a brother. I do too, and my brother is my own flesh and blood!"
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
Qin Yichen sat down opposite her and said with a hint of doubt, "Wasn't Li Mujiu very pretentious before? Why is she like a different person after returning to China this time? Is it because Xiao Jingming's perfume market has expanded overseas, so she thinks she can handle you without pretending?"
Shangguan Wu retorted, "Is she pretentious?"
"Yes, he wasn't interested in women, but I was bored at the time, so I did some research on him."
Qin Yichen nodded and gestured towards Gu Yunzhen with his lip: "Li Mujiu is a two-faced woman. She's normal in front of others, but she's always acting coquettish in front of him. Every time we meet, she tries to fall on him, but she always ends up falling to the ground and screaming like someone is molesting her. But this time, it seems like she's not out of her mind?"
Shangguan Wu narrowed her eyes: "She must have been hypnotized and brainwashed."
Qin Yichen was taken aback: "Hypnosis and brainwashing?"
Shangguan Wu turned her head to look at Gu Yunzhen: "We need to see who she's been in contact with."
Gu Yunzhen then looked at Qin San properly.
"You're prioritizing romance over friendship, that's really something!" Qin Yichen's lips twitched violently. "I'll start investigating as soon as I get back."
Shangguan Wu immediately reminded him, "Be careful. Just find the suspicious person and don't alert them."
Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow: "Very dangerous?"
Shangguan Wu said seriously, "I suspect it's related to a hypnosis organization."
Qin Yichen stroked his chin with interest: "I'm quite curious to know what kind of place that is. In the same world, there are actually a group of people hiding in the shadows. Don't you find it interesting and want to find out?"
Shangguan Wu frowned: "Third cousin, those people are very dangerous. You must not provoke them, otherwise you won't even know how you got caught."
Gu Yunzhen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's no use trying to persuade him like this. Let him see what he's made of, and he'll know to be careful."
Shangguan Wu blinked.
She thought for a moment, then picked up her chopsticks and gently tapped a tune on several plates.
This is a lullaby created by the master in the village.
It is specifically designed for people who are very wary.
They are wary of strangers, but not of music.
Shangguan Wu had only been playing for a short while when she caught Qin Yichen's attention. He asked curiously, "Little cousin, what tune are you playing? It sounds really nice."
Shangguan Wu looked into his eyes: "It's an original piece by one of my teachers."
"You're a music teacher?"
"No, when I was a child, I was sickly and on the verge of death. An old doctor passed by my house and took me away. Later, I lived in a village. There were no children in the village, but there were many interesting old people who taught me knowledge. This song was taught to me by one of the teachers. Isn't it beautiful?"
Qin Yichen nodded hurriedly: "It sounds really good."
Gu Yunzhen listened to the music, his dark eyes fixed intently on her delicate profile.
Although he only heard a few words, his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, and he felt heartache for the childhood she described.
Gu Yunzhen wanted to hold her in his arms.
However, she was hypnotizing Qin San, so he restrained himself from making any moves.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu's smile deepened: "Third cousin, do you have a girl you like?"
Qin Yichen looked at her and said, "No."
Shangguan Wu was very surprised. He had been single since birth.
Judging from his appearance, Third Cousin is a handsome and sunny guy. He has a good family background and good looks, so why hasn't he had a girlfriend in 26 years?
Suddenly, she grabbed Gu Yunzhen's arm tightly with one hand.
Without her having to speak, Gu Yunzhen knew what she wanted to know. He shook his head, indicating that Qin San was not the one.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wu felt relieved.
She then asked, "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
Qin Yichen exclaimed "Ah!" and rolled his eyes at her: "I'm not stupid, why would I want to find someone to take care of me so soon? Of course I want to enjoy myself while I'm young!"
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "So when do you plan to get married?"
Qin Yichen pondered for a moment: "At least 35 years old."
Are they planning to play around for another ten years?
She thought he wanted to try mixed doubles.
Shangguan Wu asked one last question: "Third cousin, tell me about an embarrassing thing you did recently."
Qin Yichen said without hesitation, "It was a gift for my little cousin, but I made a mistake. I originally wanted to take it back secretly, but Gu Si was wary of me, so I didn't have a chance to look for that little box. I asked Xiao Bao to help me look for it, but I didn't expect Xiao Bao to find Gu Si and my little cousin's divorce agreement."
Shangguan Wu: "..."
