Cui Xixia put Qi Baishi's works into a gift box, and another gift box contained an amulet given by Shi Miao.
Mr. Stephen was still in City S and was currently at the hotel. Cui Xixia called him to schedule a date. The other party, a self-proclaimed gentleman, sounded somewhat reluctant over the phone, but he didn't refuse.
Kong Yuping stayed by her side, looking energetic. Cui Xixia also gave her a talisman. After all, Yuping had been implicated by her this time. Moreover, she had been diligent in her work over the years, saving Cui Xixia a lot of worry. After consulting with Shi Miao, Cui Xixia also revealed the true identity of "Wen Miaomiao" to her.
She also planned to let her daughter wear Shi Miao's amulet after she returned home. She would keep the others. If it were in the past, Cui Xixia, with her filial piety, would definitely leave one for her biological mother.
Now... haha, she has already regarded her biological mother as dead.
Kong Yuping was truly delighted, practically floating in the air. It turned out Wen Miaomiao was Shi Miao; no wonder she was so powerful. Of course, despite her excitement, Kong Yuping couldn't just rely on Shi Miao's good nature to deliberately hang around her. Since she'd used a fake identity, it meant she didn't want to be too high-profile. She had to try to treat her with a normal attitude.
She glanced at the gift box beside her - with such an apology, and if she explained the whole story to him, Mr. Stephen would surely understand.
Forty minutes later, they arrived downstairs of the five-star hotel where Stephen had been staying.
After getting out of the car, Cui Xixia looked up and saw her old rival, Mr. Tan, walking out of the hotel. Mr. Tan looked very happy, as if he had received good news.
Cui Xixia knew at a glance that the other party had just met Mr. Stephen. His behavior must have meant he had received good news.
But she was not nervous. Unless the contract was really signed, she still had hope.
Mr. Tan also saw her, and the smile on his face faded. "It's Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui is here to see Stephen too?"
He and Stephen had been getting along very well recently, and today Stephen had even hinted to him that he wanted to continue working with him. Although the contract hadn't been signed yet, in his eyes, it was already a sure thing.
Cui Xixia nodded coldly.
Mr. Tan wanted to sneer when he saw her arrogant look. Wait until she is rejected by Stephen, and see how arrogant she can be!
In the past, he would have been sarcastic. But thinking of Cui Xixia hooking up with Shi Miao... Although he didn't know the extent of her relationship with Shi Miao, Mr. Tan was still a little scared.
He suppressed his sarcasm and passed by Cui Xixia.
When Cui Xixia saw Mr. Stephen, he was drinking coffee. His attitude was obviously much colder than when they first met.
"Ms. Cui."
Cui Xixia didn't waste any words and said sincerely, "I'm sorry for accidentally involving you a few days ago."
Stephen frowned, "In other words, you offended someone, so that person came to harm me?"
Cui Xixia nodded, "Tan Ming bribed my relatives."
Tan Ming?
Tan Ming had been visiting Stephen frequently these past few days, and his conversations always touched his heart. He even gave him a piece of art by a favorite artist. Stephen had a good impression of him, and since his company was also quite good, he was considering collaborating with him. Who would have thought he was the one who framed him?
"Do you have any evidence?" His expression turned serious. He had been suffering from allergies for several days. If it really was related to Tan Ming, he would definitely put him on the blacklist.
Cui Xixia had already prepared the relevant evidence and put it in a folder. She handed the folder to Stephen.
If it were in the past, Stephen would definitely not believe in the so-called spells... But since he saw Jie Gou's skills and witnessed Shi Miao's power, he has now become a very standard Z country metaphysical form.
"He's a villain!" Stephen felt that he had been fooled and was extremely angry.
He is really unlucky.
He now wants to blacklist both companies.
He said with a straight face, "I know about this now. I will not cooperate with Tan Ming."
Cui Xixia heard the hidden meaning in his words and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm really sorry for involving you in this matter. To express my apology, I prepared an apology today."
Stephen frowned, "No thanks."
He wouldn't change his mind even if she gave him a painting by Qi Baishi.
Cui Xixia said, "I heard that you like the works of Master Qi Baishi, so I specially prepared one for you."
Sure enough! They had investigated him thoroughly.
Even if Stephen liked it, he was going to refuse it at this time. As for the painting that Tan Ming had just sent him, he had no intention of returning it. It was the compensation he deserved.
Cui Xixia continued, "There is also an amulet made by Shi Miao himself."
Stephen thought he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear Shi Miao's name? He couldn't help but said, "Say it again?"
Cui Xixia repeated it.
Stephen's eyes widened, "Did Shi Miao really make it himself?"
He heard that Shi Miao's amulet could not only protect people, but also take over death. There were also many wealthy people in their country who wanted to buy Shi Miao's amulet, but they just didn't have the channels.
"Yes."
Stephen smiled brightly the next second, "I love this gift so much. Miss Cui, you will be my good friend from now on!"
…
Gao family.
"Ajie, what are you doing?" Cui Xizhen brought the midnight snack she cooked for her son.
Gao Dongjie was checking his phone, and there were still a few minutes before the prize draw.
Gao Dongjie raised his head and said, "I'm waiting for the lottery results."
Cui Xizhen said, "You're not going to buy it, are you? The probability of winning is very low. You remember Aunt Mei who used to come to our house often? She would spend one-third of her monthly salary on lottery tickets, but she rarely won. I don't know how much she lost. Have a midnight snack first. I made you some bird's nest specially. Eat more to replenish your body."
Gao Dongjie said confidently, "I'm different from her. You don't know, I dreamed about the lottery jackpot numbers a few days ago."
Cui Xizhen asked in surprise: "Is this true?"
Gao Dongjie said: "It must be the ancestor of our Gao family who came to me in a dream." He used this as an excuse.
Cui Xizhen smiled, "It must be your grandfather. The biggest regret before your grandfather passed away was that he didn't see you being born."
She stopped urging her son and sat down to look at his phone screen.
Gao Dongjie kept swiping and swiping, and finally got tonight's lottery numbers.
The next second, his smile froze on his face.
How come the numbers drawn tonight are completely different from the ones he bought?
Where is his jackpot? Who stole his jackpot?
