Just like in her dream, she cried and struggled, but they didn't even turn their heads.
In her despair, an explosion occurred.
Fortunately, she had learned some protective techniques from her master since childhood, which barely kept her afloat.
But she was seriously injured that time, so seriously that it was unimaginable.
When her master found her, she was already on the verge of death.
In the end, it took her master exhausting all his cultivation to save her.
But because of this, Lingxu Daoist could no longer subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits.
That's when she took on the important responsibility of protecting the local people.
If there is anyone in this world who truly cares for her, it is probably only Daoist Lingxu.
If we hadn't returned to the Jiang family, perhaps they would still be there...
Lingxu Temple is now closed, and the master has retired.
She alone had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of glorifying Lingxu Temple.
His thoughts were quickly pulled back by Xu Wei's voice outside.
"Please open the door and let Mom in, okay? Please let Mom explain to you, okay?" Xu Wei pleaded.
If someone who doesn't know the truth saw this, they would definitely think that Si Jinyan was unfilial.
Because Xu Wei is such a good actress.
“Madam Jiang, do you still remember Jiang Feng’s words? ‘It’s not like that anymore.’” Si Jinyan’s slender fingers hooked a crystal necklace in the box.
With her red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes that held a hint of cold indifference, she asked, "Would you buy this kind of necklace for your good daughter, Jiang Caiyun?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly released the box from her hand. With a "smack," the box fell to the ground, and the crystal necklaces fell out.
The crystal necklace she once coveted, which cost only a dozen yuan on Taobao, represented her longing for family affection, not these physical items.
Xu Wei simply doesn't understand and will never comprehend it.
Si Jinyan thought she would never shed another tear for the Jiang family, but when this woman appeared in front of her, she felt suffocated.
She was exploited by the Jiang family because she longed for family affection too much.
Xu Wei noticed that she seemed a bit off, and knew that her visit was useful.
Only those you care about will experience emotional fluctuations; if you don't care, why would you be sad or upset?
So Xu Wei performed even more energetically, her eyes almost brimming with tears.
"Mom is so sorry, please forgive Mom, okay? Come back to the Jiang family, I promise I'll make it up to you this time." Xu Wei's tears fell without warning. It's such a shame she doesn't go into acting.
"Then tell me, what am I supposed to do when I go back this time?" Si Jinyan bit his lip slightly, his misty eyes looking at Xu Wei.
Xu Wei couldn't help but sigh at how beautiful her daughter was. If she hadn't been born a jinx, she might have really become the daughter of the Jiang family.
But she wasn't her biological daughter...
She's that man's daughter!
"Your mother has found you a good marriage, the Xiao family, the most prestigious family in the capital. If you marry into the Xiao family, you'll never have to worry for the rest of your life," Xu Wei revealed the true purpose of her visit.
Si Jinyan frowned, then regained his placid expression. "Since it's such a good marriage, why don't you let Jiang Caiyun marry into it?"
Her sudden change caught Xu Wei off guard. She stared wide-eyed at Si Jinyan's stunningly beautiful yet indifferent face through the crack in the door.
"Of course it's because Mom wants to make it up to you, Mom wants to be good to you." Xu Wei was stunned for a moment before continuing to make up a reason.
Si Jinyan's change was so fast that she hadn't even had time to react.
"Do you even believe it yourself, Madam Jiang?" Si Jinyan emphasized these words, and Xu Wei could clearly see the mockery and ridicule in her eyes.
Xu Wei gritted her teeth and said, "You tricked me! Open the door, you bastard!"
When Si Jinyan heard her use the word "bastard," he paused for a couple of seconds, wondering what good would it do Xu Wei to call her a bastard.
Xu Wei probably realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Open the door. This marriage with the Xiao family isn't a bad thing. The Xiao family is the most powerful family in the capital, and their wealth..."
Before Xu Wei could finish speaking, Si Jinyan had already picked up the necklaces.
She opened the security chain and threw all the necklaces at Xu Wei.
"Madam Jiang, take your things and get out!" Si Jinyan said, then closed the door again and hung up the security chain.
Xu Wei was left screaming outside the door, "Ahhh, you bastard, you heartless bastard, how could you do this to me? I should have strangled you back then."
The manager looked at Madam Jiang, who was cursing and swearing without any regard for her image, and didn't know whether he should watch or not.
But he had to hold back his laughter.
He had seen poor people lose their daughters before, but this was the first time a rich person had ever lost their daughter.
With the Jiang family's wealth, they could support not just one Si Jinyan, but ten of them.
It's true that in a big forest, you'll find all sorts of birds.
Si Jinyan was certain that she was related to Xu Wei by blood, because she could not predict Xu Wei's fate, and even her appearance was somewhat unclear.
But how could someone like Xu Wei call her daughter a bastard?
She felt as if her past was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see the way she came from.
It seems we need to find an opportunity to get Xu Wei's blood or a hair follicle for testing.
Ah, what a great opportunity that was! Just reach out and pull a handful of her hair; there's bound to be a hair with a follicle.
Si Jinyan slapped his forehead, somewhat regretting his impulsive actions. He hadn't had time to think things through; he had only sent Xu Wei away because she was too annoying.
Forget it, we can't stay at this hotel anymore. Let's find somewhere else to avoid being harassed by Xu Wei or the other members of the Jiang family.
She tidied her clothes and appearance, put the blue lotus hairpin in her hair, and wore a moon-white cheongsam that hugged her exquisite figure.
She only noticed the message her master had sent her when she picked up her phone.
Hey Xiaoyan, if you're having trouble making it in the world, you can always go ask your senior brothers for help.
There were also four WeChat contact cards following it.
The old man must have been drinking with those beautiful women last night because he didn't reply to her messages!
Sometimes she wondered if this old man was really a Taoist practitioner.
Could it be that he started to let himself go after his cultivation was exhausted?
When the topic turned to his senior brothers, Si Jinyan's mood immediately became heavy.
She left Lingxu Temple against her senior brothers' wishes, which must have hurt them deeply.
So much so that after they came back, they didn't talk to her much, and soon everyone left one after another.
But she wasn't sure what her senior brothers were thinking.
She would rather be alone than be rejected by her senior brothers.
For her, no hope was the best hope.
Si Jinyan, Si Jinyan, when did you become so indecisive?
She inwardly berated herself.
The worst outcome would be that her senior brothers would ignore her, but she could handle that.
After encouraging myself, I tried to add them one by one, but after ten minutes and half an hour, I didn't get a single one approved.
With some disappointment, Si Jinyan tossed her phone into her Qiankun bag; she was still clinging to a sliver of hope.
