Capítulo 119

A young prodigy, yet he died young.

Xu Qingzhu also regretted that when she was a child, she would go with her parents to visit her uncle's grave and look at his photo, her mother would always cry endlessly.

She didn't feel anything.

It's probably because they've never spent time together before.

However, Haiwei Jewelry is not only unique in its design style, but also in its choice of materials and its annual marketing.

A company that can become the industry leader must have advantages in all aspects.

Xu Qingzhu browsed around the counters for a long time, looking at several stores. After she finished, she went to the restroom and planned to leave the mall and go home.

As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she felt a gust of wind pass by her and her shoulder hurt.

A man grabbed her bag from her shoulder and ran away.

In public...

robbery……

Xu Qingzhu felt that she might have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today.

Moreover, it proved the saying "misfortunes never come singly, but blessings never come in pairs."

She shouted, "Robbery!"

He rolled up his sleeves and chased after the person.

The person was probably trained in sprinting; they were incredibly fast, like a cheetah. Caught off guard, they smashed through the crowd, weaving effortlessly through it and speeding toward the door.

Everyone was stunned; no one helped chase after them, and no one even stopped them.

Xu Qingzhu shouted, "That person is a robber!"

She has no talent in sports and almost never passed her physical fitness tests in school, so there's no way she could catch up with him. He's already taken out his phone to call the police.

As a result, a young girl wearing a Lolita dress appeared. Just as the man was about to run to the door, she stretched out her foot, which was wearing a red leather shoe, and tripped him.

Then the security guards at the entrance finally reacted, and three or five of them rushed over and pinned the person to the ground.

When Xu Qingzhu arrived, the girl in the Lolita dress was carrying her bag, engrossed in playing on her phone, and said without looking up, "Here, check if anything is missing from inside."

Xu Qingzhu was panting heavily from running. She casually rummaged through her bag and found nothing missing.

She was utterly baffled and went over to the person being held down, asking, "What are you trying to do? This is such a big shopping mall, do you think you can just run away?"

The man was quite stubborn; he turned his head away and ignored her.

Xu Qingzhu: "..."

Bystanders called the police, and when the police arrived, they found that the man was a repeat offender.

After exchanging a few words with Xu Qingzhu, they took her away, and the farce finally came to an end.

Xu Qingzhu thanked the little girl, "Thank you."

He then took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it over.

The little girl waved her hand in refusal, but finally managed to pop her head out of her mobile game, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu...Xu Qingzhu?"

Xu Qingzhu also felt that the little girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

It wasn't until she introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Su Meiqi. I've met you before when I was with Lin Xingcan," that things changed.

"Together...?" Xu Qingzhu asked in surprise.

“We’re friends.” Su Meiqi realized her mistake and immediately corrected herself, “We used to be friends.”

Her words made one want to ask, "And now?"

Su Meiqi paused, then said, "We've broken up."

Xu Qingzhu: "..."

She looked at Su Meiqi with a sense of "we're both in the same boat" and asked, "Would you like me to buy you a glass of orange juice?"

Su Meiqi put her phone away. "Okay."

There was a beverage shop on the first floor of the mall. Xu Qingzhu ordered her a glass of orange juice and herself a glass of lemonade.

The two didn't know each other, so they naturally didn't talk much.

However, Su Meiqi was very outgoing, and she asked Xu Qingzhu bluntly, "Are you trying to trick me into telling you something?"

Xu Qingzhu: "...No, that's not it."

Su Meiqi: "If you're asking about what happened between Lin Xingcan and me, I can't tell you. But if you're buying me orange juice as a thank you, I think I can drink it."

Xu Qingzhu smiled, "Then drink it, I thank you."

Su Meiqi's makeup was exquisite; she looked as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

She drank the orange juice very quickly, gulping it down, and the glass was empty in just a few minutes.

Xu Qingzhu had only drunk a third of it. She was surprised by the other person's speed, but she still politely asked, "Would you like another cup?"

Su Meiqi glanced at the long queue at the counter, then at her own stomach, and shook her head, saying, "Forget it."

Xu Qingzhu has never been able to handle such situations with ease, so the atmosphere naturally cooled down.

But Su Meiqi would steal a glance at her every now and then, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a few times, Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Su Meiqi immediately replied, "No."

After answering, he sighed again, "Actually, there is."

Xu Qingzhu: "...?"

"But I don't know if I can say this," Su Meiqi pressed her temples, "It's about your wife Liang Shi, do you know?"

Xu Qingzhu: "What is it?"

“Don’t you think she’s different from before? I heard she used to be a womanizer and often fooled around with Cheng Ran,” Su Meiqi said. “Lin Xingcan used to cry a lot about these things.”

Xu Qingzhu: "..."

She seems to know a little bit about it.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingzhu asked calmly, but her eyes revealed a thirst for knowledge.

The more she acted like this, the more Su Meiqi couldn't hold back.

Xu Qingzhu has already developed the ability to "seduce" young girls like Xu Qingya.

As expected, Su Meiqi was conflicted and hesitant.

Finally, she couldn't help but say, "After our last meeting, Lin Xingcan went to see Liang Shi's mother, but didn't get any answers, so she started collecting information herself."

"And then?" Xu Qingzhu asked.

Su Meiqi: "..."

She suddenly slammed her head on the table, "Ouch! Sister, I can't say it!"

Xu Qingzhu patiently guided her, "Why?"

"Forget it, why don't you go ask at Yunyin Taoist Temple?" Su Meiqi said. "Anyway, it seems to be related to that. I'm not sure, but Lin Xingcan said that someone seems to have swapped your wife's soul."

Xu Qingzhu: "...?!!"

“I don’t really believe in science, but I don’t believe in this kind of superstition either,” Su Meiqi said. “But Lin Xingcan made it sound very convincing, and even said that other families had done it before.”

Xu Qingzhu immediately said, "Where do you think we should ask?"

"The Yunyin Taoist Temple," Su Meiqi sighed. "The one on Yunfeng Mountain. Sister, I don't believe in that, but do you?"

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Qingzhu's physics knowledge and scientific theories seemed to crumble, and she finally said slowly, "It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."

//

There's less than half a day left of the holiday.

Xu Qingzhu was so eager to find out the truth that she decided to drive up Yunfeng Mountain halfway through her conversation with Su Meiqi.

Before going, I invited Su Meiqi. Although Su Meiqi was not very willing to go, she couldn't suppress her curiosity.

He got into the car with Xu Qingzhu.

After she got into the car and fastened her seatbelt, Xu Qingzhu said, "Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

Su Meiqi glanced at her and said, "I'm an Alpha, and you're an Omega. You can't beat me."

Xu Qingzhu: "..."

I didn't expect that either.

“But I feel a sense of familiarity when I see you,” Su Meiqi said. “Maybe it’s because I like pretty older women.”

Xu Qingzhu: "..."

However, she doesn't reject Su Meiqi.

Even though the other party used to be friends with Lin Xingcan.

It's probably because Su Meiqi looks harmless and has a straightforward personality.

Yunfeng Mountain is located in the suburbs, more than an hour's drive away.

Xu Qingzhu had a smooth journey, during which Su Meiqi gave her some scattered bits of information.

Su Meiqi was always in a state of "I want to tell you, but I can't tell you too much".

He would say a few words every now and then, and then stop.

Xu Qingzhu then listened.

I didn't press them for more details.

After all, Su Meiqi was still trying to preserve the last shred of dignity for her lost friendship.

Upon arriving at the foot of Yunfeng Mountain, Su Meiqi began to hesitate again about whether to climb the mountain.

She didn't want to climb, but seeing Xu Qingzhu going up alone, she couldn't bear to.

So he dawdled and ended up keeping Xu Qingzhu company.
