Adopted daughter?
As soon as the news came out, the entire wealthy circle in the imperial capital was in an uproar.
"Xiao Yunting is only 25 this year, how could he have an adopted daughter out of nowhere? Could she be an illegitimate daughter?"
"Regardless of whether she's his biological daughter or not, the fact that someone like Xiao Yunting publicly announced her birthday is enough to show how much he holds in his heart."
"No matter where this so-called adopted daughter comes from, we must not neglect her."
…
Almost all wealthy circles began to prepare birthday gifts carefully and strive to make it important.
Tang Hede and others who were about to leave the B&B early in the morning were also looking for news everywhere, and the first person they looked at was Xie Chenan.
"Brother An, I heard that you ran into Mr. Xiao last night. Was he accompanied by a little girl of three or four, or seven or eight?"
After yesterday's interaction, everyone knew that Xie Chenan was easy to talk to, so there was no pressure to get close to him.
Xie Chenan was waiting for someone at the front desk. He shuddered when he heard the words and subconsciously glanced towards the stairs. He happened to see Ye Lan, who was still mysterious and cold in a pullover. When he thought of the "three or four-year-old girl", his eyebrows suddenly tangled into caterpillars.
"I don't know anything, don't ask me!" He shook his head repeatedly and ran away as soon as he was afraid of being caught.
After waiting at the door for a while, Ye Lan walked out slowly.
Xie Chenan's mood became even more complicated when he saw her. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "You... are Xiao Yunting's daughter?"
Ye Lan: “…”
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant..." Xie Chenan quickly corrected the ambiguity in his words, "How did you become his adopted daughter?"
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Yunting was of noble status and had been running business abroad for many years, how could Ye Lan, a girl from a second-rate merchant family in Jiangcheng, be related to him?
This really puzzled him.
"It's a temporary solution." Ye Lan had no intention of hiding this. As he walked out, he said concisely, "I saved him before, and he helped me escape from the Ye family."
Xie Chenan then remembered the Ye family's inhumane behavior. He nodded in understanding and couldn't help but gloat, "Last time you challenged the Book of Genius and were accepted into Seer Rose Academy, it caused a huge uproar online. The Ye family must have known about it and regretted it to death. If they knew your new guardian was Xiao Yunting, they would probably fly over overnight to meet you."
He wanted to slap the Ye couple in the face and let them know who their good daughter was.
However, Ye Lan felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
"After my eighteenth birthday, I can move my household registration out on my own." She didn't know why she had to explain this extra sentence, but deep down she didn't want others to define her relationship with Xiao Yunting as family.
"Yeah, you have your own house now anyway, so it's very convenient to settle down. I'll let my family take care of the procedures." Xie Chenan was even happier when he heard her say that, and he patted his chest and promised her to help.
As he was speaking, the cell phone in Ye Lan's pocket rang.
It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly.
She saw the caller ID and saw that it was Chen Zhexi, so she pressed the answer button while walking, "Hello."
"Ye Lan! It's bad! Come quickly, Ah Yue is dying."
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Zhexi's voice came hurriedly from the microphone, like a roar full of helplessness and despair.
Ye Lan paused in his tracks, his brows knitted together, "What happened to her?"
"She, she was injured while trying to save me. She bled a lot."
Blood?
Hearing Chen Zhexi's slightly trembling voice, Ye Lan suppressed the doubts in his heart and did not ask any more questions. After the other party reported the address, he hurriedly left Liuli City.
In the car, Xie Chenan stepped on the accelerator furiously, his face full of confusion. "How could something happen after just two days? Isn't it said that Ah Yue is a ghost king with powerful magic? And she hates Chen Zhexi so much, why did she sacrifice herself to save him?"
All kinds of questions swirled in his mind.
And what he could think of, Ye Lan naturally thought of as well.
"Could there be some trick here?" Xie Chenan asked cautiously.
Ye Lan had closed his eyes since getting in the car, as if he was dozing. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Probably not."
Because she didn't know when she could no longer sense A Yue's presence.
If neither the Shikigami nor the master dies, there are only two possibilities for the connection to be severed.
One is that the master gives up the Shikigami and cancels the contract.
One possibility is that the Shikigami has tampered with the situation.
Ye Lan closed his eyes lightly and said calmly, "Drive faster."
It is noon when Yang energy is at its peak, which is most unfavorable to Yin objects.
"Okay." Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xie Chenan didn't ask any more questions and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
After running through several red lights along the way, I finally shortened the half-hour journey to ten minutes.
The variety show shooting location that had been agreed upon previously was in a large theme manor in the imperial capital. The director spent a lot of money to book an elf castle theme.
The shoot was originally scheduled for three days, but now something has gone wrong.
"How could he fall out of nowhere? Where's the ambulance? How long will it take?" The director was busy running around, directing the work on the scene. He asked about the actor's injuries in the corner. When he learned that the situation was not good, he scratched his hair in frustration and said, "Tell the doctor to stop the bleeding first."
"Okay, then..." The assistant director nodded, then hesitated, "Should we turn off the live broadcast first? That Chen Zhexi keeps hugging the actress, and I'm worried about the negative impact."
After saying that, he pointed to the cameras on both sides.
"We can't shut it down." The director refused without hesitation. "If we shut it down now, and something really happens to the people, the production team will be held responsible. Damn it, why does such a good show always happen to me? Last time was the same..."
He felt that he was unlucky for eight lifetimes.
The assistant director also understood this, and said with a face full of vicissitudes: "Yes, at least Ye Lan was there last time. This time, we may have to pray to God."
Don't let them get too down.
At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded.
"Serves you right! It's Zhang Xiaoxiao who's been giving our Zhizhi a hard time. It was Zhang Xiaoxiao who pushed the sling onto Zhizhi. It's obvious she had bad intentions."
"I also think she lost more than she gained. I have no sympathy for her. I just hope she doesn't die."
"Tsk tsk, who can't see what she's thinking? It's too obvious."
…
Miraculously, the audience stood on the same side this time, showing no sympathy or pity for the injured.
A peacemaker also spoke out in the middle.
"Please pray for safety, or my dinner variety show will be ruined."
One word woke everyone up.
People may not care about the life or death of the injured, but they don’t want the program to be suspended because of this, so they started praying in the barrage.
I don't know who posted the comment, and someone said with emotion: "If Ye Lan were here now, healing would be a matter of minutes. He was able to handle the heavy bleeding of the pregnant woman last time, so this kind of minor injury should be a piece of cake."
