Chapter 399: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter
When Quan Jiu heard this, he instinctively felt uncomfortable.
What's the meaning?
What do you mean, she has really changed a lot?
She asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Yang completed the sentence:
"The old Taoist priest said that in this year, your temperament will suddenly change drastically, and even your fate will turn from decline to prosperity, and you will become a truly auspicious person."
The smile on Quan Jiu's lips faded, and a sense of horror that he was being secretly monitored rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Is it a coincidence?
Why this year?
It just happened to be the year she was transported into the host's body.
The soul in this body has been replaced. To outsiders, it naturally seems that Liu Jiaojiao's temperament has suddenly changed.
Combined with the Li family's soaring fortunes in recent years, Quan Jiu felt more and more that this old Taoist priest was no ordinary person.
But this is where the problem lies.
How could such a powerful person die so hastily?
Rather than an accident, it's more like...
Silence.
Kill to silence someone.
She curled her fingertips and suddenly looked around.
On the busy streets, countless pairs of eyes looked at her and Li Yang from time to time, some with curiosity, some with eagerness to try.
Maybe there is a pair of eyes inside, secretly watching her.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a hand trying to strangle her neck.
"Miss Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yang noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly.
Quan Jiu shook his head and looked away:
"I'm fine."
Or maybe she was overthinking it.
This old Taoist priest, who was not an ordinary person, might have made many enemies. It was possible that he encountered a powerful enemy and was assassinated in the suburbs.
Li Yang: "I'm glad you're alright. Since the letter of annulment has been handed to you, I'll go back first. You... take good care of yourself in the future."
He originally wanted to say, you should live a good life with the Third Master in the future, and if he bullies you, come back to me and I will support you.
But when he saw the guard standing at the gate, he swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue.
It is better not to say such ambiguous words, so as to prevent these people from gossiping behind Miss Liu's back and damaging her reputation.
After Li Yang left, Quan Jiu found 001.
001 naturally heard what Li Yang said just now:
"If it's true as you think, that someone is secretly monitoring you, then this person can at least ignore the restrictions of time and space and reach any plane at will."
Most importantly, he did some exploration and found no unusual movement in this plane.
It's not that he is conceited, but in the plane he manages, the possibility of hiding the truth and evading his detection is zero.
Quan Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "I think I was just being overly suspicious."
………
After finishing the conversation with Quan Jiu, 001 sat quietly in the main god space for a long time.
After thinking it over, he raised his arm and sent a message to 000, informing him of Quan Jiu's affairs.
The reply came quickly, but it was just a simple line of words:
Let young people solve their own problems.
………
Si Jinnian always felt that something was wrong.
Hundreds of people entering and leaving the mountains would definitely leave traces, but his men searched for several days and found nothing suspicious.
What made him feel the strangest were the two bullet holes he saw on the deceased's body. Whenever he thought of the image of that man lying in a pool of blood, it was as if ants had crawled into his body, gnawing at his sanity and making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over.
The young wife he was going to marry didn't seem as well behaved as he had imagined.
Because he was so engrossed in his thoughts, he didn't even hear the footsteps behind him. It was not until Quan Jiu patted his shoulder that Si Jinnian turned around as if awakened from a dream.
"Are you back after the chat? What did Li Yang say to you?"
He took the person on his lap.
Quan Jiu waved the divorce agreement in front of him:
"I'm here to give you a letter of annulment. Congratulations to my Third Master. Now he's finally not the male mistress that everyone points fingers at."
Si Jinnian didn't care about what outsiders thought. As long as Quan Jiu had no feelings for Li Yang, the gossip of others was unimportant.
"Master Li suddenly got it?"
Quan Jiu repeated what Li Yang had told her, concealing only the part that she doubted.
Si Jinnian sneered, "He died just in time."
In his opinion, whether the horoscopes are compatible or not is all nonsense.
What makes a match is the people, not the horoscopes.
…
Three days later, Kong Manqing and Xu Danbin's wedding took place as scheduled.
Both of them wanted to hold a low-key wedding, so only a few tables of people came.
Si Jinnian and Quan Jiu sat in the main seats.
The girls that Xu Danbin had helped before now acted as flower girls. A group of innocent little girls carrying flower baskets injected some vitality and romance into the wedding.
When the ceremony was over, the newlyweds walked down from the stage and headed towards where Quan Jiu was.
Xu Danbin had been forced to drink a lot of wine, and the scholar's delicate face was stained with a few blushes of drunkenness. He raised his glass to Quan.
"Ms. Liu, thank you."
Quan Jiu clinked glasses with him: "Are you so happy to be married into the family?"
Xu Danbin nodded with red eyes: "Happy."
Very happy.
I've never been so happy in my life.
He thought about what happened in the past and looked at Quan Jiu seriously.
"It's not just about Manqing and me. You've also done a lot for these children. Although the person in charge didn't say who was behind it, I don't think anyone else would help them except you."
His family was not well-off to begin with, and taking care of these children had drained all his savings. Even this wedding was mostly paid for by Manqing.
"I thought that after I let go, no one would help them. Fortunately, I have you..."
He really hoped that these girls could change their destiny through knowledge, break free from the constraints of their families, no longer have to be "brother-supporting demons", no longer have to support vampire-like parents, and no longer have to be betrothed to old men casually like objects.
They deserve to live for themselves.
Quan Jiu's thin lips curled slightly: "On such a happy day, let's not talk about these things."
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
Xu Danbin rubbed his eyes.
He will never forget Miss Liu's kindness. She is the noble person in his life and the first person who told him seriously that all his persistence is meaningful.
Quan Jiu looked at Kong Manqing who was getting married, and felt some emotion like his own daughter getting married.
"Thinking back to the time when I first came here, I was still a vicious female supporting role..."
001: "Think about it carefully. Didn't Li Yang and Kong Manqing, as the male and female protagonists of the novel, also break up?"
Quan Jiu: "Ah, it really is..."
Kong Manqing stared at Quan Jiu with gratitude in her eyes.
The friendship between girls is sometimes very subtle. Although she didn't know much about her, during those days in the hospital, she inexplicably developed a strong sense of trust in her.
