She quickly regained her composure and said smugly, "Xu Zhi, didn't you say you disliked this daughter before? Why are you deliberately getting so close to her now?"
"Could it be because of the Xiao family?"
"Let me tell you, the Xiao family's gate is not so easy to enter. Old Madam Xiao alone will not let her in."
The "Old Madam Xiao" she mentioned was Ji Shiya, who was only fifty years old.
Xiao Luoan's grandfather's beloved wife.
This statement also serves as a warning to Xu Zhi to recognize the true situation.
It's not a wise move to curry favor with this daughter who might not even marry into the Xiao family.
"There's no need for Madam Lin to trouble herself with that."
Si Jinyan snatched the dress and had a waiter wrap it up.
The waiter was fairly reasonable; he ignored Mrs. Lin and went to help her settle the bill.
"If you dare to pay her bill today, you can pack your bags and leave!"
The waiter was a little embarrassed by what he heard. Just because Mrs. Lin is a VIP customer here doesn't mean she can be so arrogant and domineering.
Madam Lin felt ignored by everyone, making her feel like a clown, and that she could only assert her status by throwing tantrums.
"Mrs. Lin, you have quite the nerve to say that you can decide whether my employees stay or leave."
A tall, upright man walked in through the doorway; it was Mo Wenqing.
The man next to him was Gu Cixi; the two of them must have just come from the bidding venue.
"Mr. Mo."
"Go ahead and do your work. This Mrs. Lin doesn't have that ability yet."
Mo Wenqing waved to the waiter, who breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to pack Si Jinyan's clothes.
"Please ask Mrs. Lin to leave, and cancel her membership. Don't entertain just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in the future."
Mo Wenqing said to another waiter.
Those who boss people around in his shop, do they really think Mo Wenqing is dead?
Madam Lin's face turned pale and then red; she hadn't expected Mo Wenqing to show her no respect whatsoever.
After all, she is the wife of the Lin family and the boss's wife of the Lin Group.
"You...you all wait!"
After being urged by the waiter, Mrs. Lin angrily left the store with her maid carrying the bags.
"Miss, your clothes."
The waiter packed up the clothes and handed them to Si Jinyan.
"I haven't paid yet."
Si Jinyan took out his phone and spoke to the waiter.
"This is for you."
Mo Wenqing replied with a polite smile.
"You've helped me so much before, this dress is nothing."
"But you?"
Mo Wenqing looked at Xu Wei and Si Jinyan with a questioning gaze.
Gu Cixi, who was standing to the side, also looked at the mother and daughter with some strange expressions.
Si Jinyan probably guessed what the two were thinking.
"It's a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you in detail somewhere."
She didn't want these people to mistake her mother for Xu Zhi.
I still need to explain.
The group found a quiet coffee shop and sat in a private room to wait for Si Jinyan to explain.
"She is my mother, the real Xu Wei, the Madam of the Jiang family!"
Si Jinyan said bluntly.
Gu Cixi and Mo Wenqing hadn't even sat down in their chairs when they were stunned by her words and stood frozen in place.
"What did you say?"
Mo Wenqing wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, so he asked again.
Si Jinyan had no choice but to answer again:
"This is my mother, Xu Wei, who has been dead for twenty years!"
Xu Wei, who was standing to the side, nodded and smiled:
"Yes, I have been dead for twenty years."
A person who had been dead for twenty years suddenly appeared alive in this world.
Gu Cixi and Mo Wenqing exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
How could there possibly be a magic that could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded?
"It's not resurrection, it's just that his soul has possessed a paper figure."
Si Jinyan flipped his hand, and a small paper figure appeared in his hand.
She blew a gentle breath, and the paper figure actually moved.
To Gu Cixi and Mo Wenqing's astonishment, the paper figure actually started dancing on the table.
"What kind of magical spell is this?"
Mo Wenqing swallowed hard, his jaw nearly dropping in shock.
Si Jinyan reached out and beckoned to the paper figure with her finger, and the paper figure returned to her hand, lying quietly like a deflated balloon.
It felt like everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"That's brilliant!"
Gu Cixi couldn't help but clap his hands; he had never seen such a miraculous phenomenon before.
Si Jinyan chuckled softly and put the paper figure away.
"It's just a minor paper spirit spell, not really a magic spell."
"This body is nothing but a paper doll now; it cannot be touched by water or fire. It will dissolve in water and burn in fire."
"It's like being possessed by a ghost, except the one possessing you is a dummy."
Her words elicited sighs from the two men.
"Miss Si, you are truly amazing."
Mo Wenqing then began to frantically try to get closer to her, asking with a beaming smile, "Could my aunt also...?"
He winked at Si Jinyan, "Miss Si should understand, right?"
Selling him a paper doll should be enough, right?
"..."
Si Jinyan took a sip of his drink and shook his head.
"No, this move can't be used casually without me by your side. It would be bad if something unexpected happened."
If she were to come into contact with fire while she was near Xu Wei, Xu Wei could immediately transfer her soul to another container.
