Professor Jiang’s house is a well known villa space in Jiangnan Metropolis. It’s not about how costly the home costs are, however that lots of the residents listed here are celebrities within the cultural and creative circles, and there are additionally many stars. The safety administration may be very strict.
As a result of Professor Jiang knowledgeable the door guard that solely Tang Xi was the visitor, even when Pei Qingzhi was the developer, he was turned away.
“It is okay, I will simply stroll in.” Tang Xi obtained out of the automotive holding the framed calligraphy field, and registered on the door. The guard let him go.
There are usually not many residents locally and the greenery is excellent. You’ll be able to really feel alive even in winter. Strolling alongside the trail, you’ll be able to odor the faint perfume of vegetation and bushes in your nostril.
“Xixi, right here.” From a distance, Jiang Xiaoli beckoned and ran in direction of her, “I will decide you up.”
“No, I can acknowledge the best way. It is such a chilly day.” Tang Xi additionally quickened his tempo.
“I am wonderful anyway.” Jiang Xiaoli smiled embarrassedly, “My mom was cooking and she or he did not need me to get in the best way, so she kicked me out of the kitchen. I feel you need to virtually be there, so I went out and circled. Ready.”
“Bother auntie.” Tang Xi mentioned.
“No bother, no bother. If you happen to do not come, our household must eat. Grandpa does not like nanny housekeeping and cooking.” Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand and took her to her home whereas saying, “Furthermore, though grandpa does not imagine me, my dad Mother may be very grateful to you. Really, I needed to ask Mr. Gu collectively, however I used to be afraid that Grandpa can be indignant and say that we’re feudal and superstitious.”
“Gu Ran, he has been very busy these days, and he has taken it kindly.” Tang Xi mentioned.
“And…ah, cousin!” Jiang Xiaoli was midway via, waving his hand excitedly.
A younger man walked over together with his fingers in, and it was certainly Jiang Xia who introduced them to the tomb in Chang’an.
“Seeing you turning round on the door and never coming again, I knew Miss Tang have to be right here.” Jiang Xia smiled.
“It appears to be recovering effectively.” Tang Xi mentioned, him.
“Ah, I do not know what’s flawed, the reminiscence within the historical tomb is a bit unclear. I vaguely really feel that I used to be attacked by a ghost, so I do not know something. I’ve to thank Miss Tang and Mr. Gu.” Jiang Xia replied.
Tang Xi smiled with out saying a phrase.
Xie Changan didn’t change all of his recollections, simply obscured them, so Jiang Xia remembered that there have been ghosts within the historical tomb, however I can’t keep in mind precisely what the ghosts regarded like and the way they had been knocked down. That is higher for him. , Is not going to type a shadow.
“By the best way, I’ve all the time been interested in a query.” Tang Xi turned off the subject, “Why is Mr. Jiang’s surname Jiang? Due to the identical sound, I did not discover it after I launched it final time, so I ought to take a look at the case closure report after I got here again. Arrived.”
“It is as a result of my mom’s surname is Jiang.” Jiang Xia smiled helplessly. “My grandfather is extra…effectively, cussed and cussed. At the moment, he all the time opposed my dad and my mother being collectively due to the identical surname, even when their surnames are simply the identical. Totally different phrases. My dad has utterly inherited his grandfather’s sturdy mood. Not solely did he argue with my mom, however he additionally gave me the surname Jiang—ah, I don’t normally hear it. Till I grew up and studied within the Division of Archeology, Grandpa The connection with Dad slowly improved.”
Tang Xi was silent for some time, then turned her head and requested critically: “Xiao Li, you’ll be able to actually inform me that Professor Jiang requested me to come back to eat, do not you actually need to name me to curse?”
“Cough cough, in fact not.” Jiang Xia sighed and mentioned softly, “Grandpa counted the ruined tomb on the tomb robbers. Xiaoli and I informed him that you’re a critical case within the metropolis bureau. The marketing consultant of the group, he’s happy.”
“…” Tang Xi coughed dryly, not laughing or crying.
“What we mentioned is the reality.” Jiang Xia unfold his fingers.
“Sure!” Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, “By the best way, Xixi, did you catch a thief who snatched a bag yesterday?”
“Are you aware this too?” Tang Xi requested in shock.
“It is actually you.” Jiang Xiaoli smiled. “There was a scorching search yesterday. The title was’The Angel of Justice with a Lamborghini Chasing Thieves’, but it surely was taken away quickly. I simply took a glance, though it solely captured it. Again view, however that automotive needs to be yours, proper? I heard Xiao Shuang say that there are usually not many automobiles on this coloration in Jiangnan Metropolis.”
“I’m chasing the thief, however Gu Ran is the one who arrested.” Tang Xi mentioned.
“Grandpa noticed it too, and praised you.” Jiang Xiaoli added.
Tang Xi sighed, okay… at the very least the dangerous money owed within the tomb had been uncovered. She actually would not be capable of cope with the sort of cussed, biased and selfless outdated folks.
Strolling to the door of a villa, Jiang Xiaoli ran ahead and opened the door just a few steps: “Grandpa, Mother and Dad, Xixi is right here.”
Tang Xi calmly stepped ahead to say howdy and gave a present.
Professor Jiang was shocked when he noticed the character, after which laughed not often: “It’s uncommon for a woman now to apply calligraphy to this degree. I let Xiaoli apply calligraphy, and I nonetheless appear to be a canine. of.”
“Grandpa… the comb is so tough, I apply pen writing very effectively.” Jiang Xiaoli protested weakly.
“What a great factor, that is the cultural heritage of our nation for hundreds of years!” Professor Jiang glared at her, after which handed the phrases to the middle-aged man subsequent to him, Jiang Xiaoli’s father, Jiang Yan, “Take me to the research tomorrow. .”
“I do know.” Jiang Yan took it with a smile, and exaggerated just a few phrases, “Xiao Tang additionally research historical past, he ought to prefer it.”
“The one who taught me write as soon as mentioned, study Chinese language characters and be quiet.” Tang Xi replied and requested, “Professor Jiang, I got here again in a rush final time, did these tomb robbers sentence it?”
“It is all despatched to the Chang’an Municipal Bureau. The proof is conclusive. You’ll be able to’t run away, however the particular sentence has not come out so shortly.” Professor Jiang sighed, “Because of you, or else I do not find out about this historical metropolis. How a lot spoil will the tomb endure? Some folks do every part for cash! Identical to the theft yesterday, they hit a toddler whereas driving a motorbike and ran away. Thankfully, it was a bruise.”
Tang Xi listened with a smile, so long as the tomb’s account was settled to make the aged comfortable, she used to do so much within the sect, and she or he was comfy.
Quickly, Mrs. Jiang within the kitchen greeted Jiang Xiaoli and Jiang Xia to go in and serve meals.
Tang Xi took a look and knew that he mentioned that he must eat at dwelling, but it surely was apparent that the dishes on this desk weren’t very homely, and it was utterly as much as the requirements of a banquet. She was the one object of this—Professor Jiang didn’t say sure. I am unable to wipe my face off, however I’m actually grateful.
In fact, being a scholar… nonetheless has to say no.
In any case, she did not have a lot curiosity in archaeology itself, and there was no must seize the locations of scholars who actually needed to go this fashion.
Usually talking, this meal nonetheless loved the company and the host.
Jiang Yan and his spouse had been additionally very happy with Tang Xi, however Jiang Xiaoli quietly informed her that previously, her grandfather and oldsters did not actually like Tang Jing, and thought she was faux, however not as honest as Xia Shuang. Now that she has praised her for making mates, her imaginative and prescient has lastly improved.
“So, are we mates?” Jiang Xiaoli’s eyes had been shining, stuffed with expectation.
Tang Xi was startled and nodded with a smile.
After dinner, as a result of Tang Xi did not drive right here and it was not straightforward to take a taxi right here within the villa space, Jiang Xia volunteered to drive her again.
Tang Xi didn’t refuse both, however after the automotive drove out of the neighborhood, Jiang Xia’s phrases shocked her: “I simply got here again from Qingjiang Metropolis just a few days in the past and I by chance heard about one thing.”
“What?” Tang Xi brows jumped.
In Qingjiang Metropolis, since Zhuang Shijie was arrested in Nanjiang Metropolis, a brand new prison investigation captain has been changed by town bureau. Because of inner overview, the brand new captain was parachuted from different provinces and has nothing to do with all factions in Qingjiang Metropolis.
“I heard that you will attend Pei’s fiftieth anniversary celebration?” Jiang Xia requested.
“Are you aware this too?” Tang Xi could not assist frowning.
Pei Qingzhi is not going to discuss this sort of private matter casually, so, the one one who is aware of that this matter will discuss it’s…
“The higher circle of Jiangnan Metropolis has in all probability unfold in every single place.” Jiang Xia chuckled. “In any case, that is the primary time Mr. Pei, the No. 1 diamond king in Jiangnan Metropolis, has introduced a feminine companion to a proper event in his life. The connections of our Jiang household Though primarily in academia, my mom’s household is in enterprise, and this sort of information can nonetheless be heard. I can even go there, though it’s troublesome… it’s higher to go to the grave with grandpa.”
“Fu Xiao or Li Qingxue?” Tang Xi rubbed her brow.
“.” Jiang Xia straightened her face and lowered her voice barely, “The Fu household’s hometown is in Qingjiang, and the muse remains to be there.”
Tang Xi was startled, instantly as if considering of one thing, her expression sank barely.
Nonetheless, Jiang Xia clearly didn’t know what she considered, and simply mentioned, “I don’t know why. I simply really feel that the connection between the Fu household and the Pei household will not be good. Now that you’ve been within the muddy water, you have to be cautious. Fu Xiao, a lady who appears light and sort, is definitely the perfect at appearing.”
“Are you aware Fu Xiao effectively?” Tang Xi took an interest.
“It is onerous to say that I perceive.” Jiang Xia mentioned slyly, “For some time, the Fu household and my mom talked about a marriage-that, I refused.”
“You do not like Fu Xiao?” Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.
“Hey, I nonetheless wish to observe my grandfather to go to the tomb for archaeology. I’ll in all probability not inherit the household enterprise sooner or later. I’m not a world particular person like a daughter like Fu Xiao.” Jiang Xia mentioned calmly.
“Thanks.” Tang Xi nodded to him, with out asking the rest.
“Really, President Pei is fairly good.” Jiang Xia mentioned instantly.
“I do know that the opposite particular person is excellent.” Tang Xi checked out him just a little puzzled.
“…” Jiang Xia opened her mouth, however she could not inform when she checked out her clear eyes. She held again for a very long time earlier than saying, “Nicely, the earlier banquet…”
“I do know, he informed me.” Tang Xi could not assist however end it for him.
Jiang Xia sighed and needed to say no, you do not know…Neglect it, I am unable to determine this sort of factor, and others cannot get any concept.
“Simply say what you need, and I will not hit you.” Tang Xi was additionally uncomfortable seeing his hesitant expression.
“No, actually not.” Jiang Xia instantly shook his head.
Are you able to say that your entire higher circle of Jiangnan Metropolis is aware of that Pei is all the time chasing you, however you do not know it?
Neglect it, I shall be blacklisted by Mr. Pei if he speaks it out.
Tang Xi went dwelling with a stomach stuffed with doubts, Chu Li was nonetheless working time beyond regulation, and there was just one textual content message “Go dwelling early” on his telephone.
After the bathe, she could not assist however name somebody who made her uneasy: “How dangerous is your relationship with the Fu household?”
Pei Qingzhi was shocked for a very long time earlier than repliing: “In any case, it is kin, identical to Guan Li and Fu Xiao’s affairs. I can even assist should you ask, however I haven’t got a lot contact. Nonetheless, I’ve to say one thing dangerous… I heard my grandfather mentioned, Plainly my mom had a nasty relationship with a number of of my uncles.”
“So…” Tang Xi fell silent.
“Why do you ask this instantly?” Pei Qing hesitated for some time, “Did Jiang Xia inform you one thing?”
“Um… it is nothing.” Tang Xi squeezed the telephone and instantly did not know what to say.
Clearly, earlier than dialing the telephone, I nonetheless really feel that I’ve so much to ask.
“My mom…” Pei Qingzhi solely mentioned two phrases and stopped.
The respiratory within the microphone was clear and audible. After a very long time, he mentioned, “Nobody from the Fu household got here on the funeral.”
“Funeral? There’s something, though I am not embarrassed, however…” Tang Xi hesitated.
“It is okay, simply ask.” Pei Qingzhi mentioned.
“Nicely, your dad and mom died in an air crash, what about… the stays?” Tang Xi requested softly.
“The aircraft that crashed again then was really Pei’s personal aircraft. After the crash, my aunt accompanied my grandfather to the place the place the accident occurred.” Pei Qingzhi defined, “The variety of victims was not giant. Though the stays regarded tragic, they nonetheless… simply pay attention. After talking, my aunt was in poor health for a very long time, and she or he mentioned she was scared by the scene.”
“I see. See you in just a few days.” Tang Xi completed talking and hung up the telephone.
“What are you doubting?” Yun Qi appeared beside her.
“I’ve seen the ghost peeping at Pei Qingzhi.” Tang Xi regarded up and mentioned, “Very weak.”
Yun Qi was shocked for a second. He did not care in regards to the ghost. What’s extra, for him, mainly the ghosts he encountered had been very weak. It was nothing greater than the distinction between an ant and a bigger ant.
“Pei Qingzhi’s yin and yang eyes had been forcefully opened by the day after tomorrow. It is not full. He should not be capable of see such a weak ghost.” Tang Xi continued.
“I can leapfrog and let him see it, might or not it’s…” Yun Qi could not assist however transfer.
“I additionally particularly hid the causes and penalties and requested the identification of Pei Qingzhi. He additionally had the identical opinion.” Tang Xi mentioned solemnly, “The most certainly factor is that this ghost is his blood relative.”
“Blood kin…” Yun Qi repeated.
“So it may be seen by him, so it isn’t malicious to him.” Tang Xi mentioned.
“Do you believe you studied that it was his…father or mom?” Yun Qi could not assist however object, “however that was all twenty years in the past, and Pei Qingzhi had opened yin and yang eyes for greater than a yr. If it had been his dad and mom, How can it solely seem now?”
“So I requested him in regards to the situation of his physique.” Tang Xi replied, “Though the chance may be very low and really low, there may be nonetheless a risk.”
“You imply…” Yun Qi was shocked.
“Nicely, as a result of the corpse is just too shattered, and even the soul is torn aside. Over an extended time frame, they’re slowly pieced collectively.” Tang Xi calmly mentioned, “You see the ghost’s look, it’s utterly shaped piece by piece. One thing. the ache of soul tearing greatest, and his scenario is hundreds of instances extra critical than if you protected me from being torn aside by house if you traveled via house. Beneath such ache, you’ll be able to persist with out dissipating, it’s actually true. It’s nice perseverance to combat your self again. Usually, having this perseverance means both having nice love in your coronary heart or deep enmity.”
“He has no malice in direction of Pei Qingzhi.” Yun Qi mentioned for her.
“Is it proper? I will know after I see it subsequent time.” Tang Xi put the telephone on the bedside desk, her eyes just a little chilly, “If my guess is appropriate, then the aircraft crash that yr was not essentially an accident. “
Yun Qi was silent for some time, then slipped again into the bracelet.
On the opposite facet, Pei Qingzhi, who hung up, was additionally in an advanced temper.
In the present day, he not often returned to his outdated home. With out Tang Xi’s rune enchantment, he might clearly really feel the ghost following him dodge.
Nonetheless, the ghost appears to be afraid of one thing on his physique, so long as he’s shut, it should panic and keep away from it. He tried to speak at a distance, however the different social gathering simply checked out him quietly, as if not sensible.
He felt Tang Xi’s unfinished phrases, and the urgency in his coronary heart was even larger.
You-who are you?
Within the days that adopted, there was not a lot contact. After the costume was completed, Tang Xi took the time to go to Grandma Zhao to strive it on, and introduced again the remaining two units of Hanfu by the best way.
Till Christmas Day.
“I all the time really feel that should you go to take part, one thing dangerous will certainly occur.” Chu Li despatched her downstairs.
Even when he and Pei Qing have a great relationship, the identification of the service provider movie star and the chief of the intense case is doomed, and it’s not possible for Chu Li to take part in all of the enterprise actions of Pei’s public.
“So, prepare at any time.” Tang Xi was carrying a black fishtail mopping costume, carrying a small lambskin bag, and carrying a cashmere coat of the identical coloration. He circled and pointed at his cell phone and smiled, “Possibly , I’ll name the police at any time.”
“Are you able to give Pei Qing some face?” Chu Li sighed.
“My guess will not be correct, I’ll know quickly.” Tang Xi waved her hand and walked in direction of the Porsche together with her skirt.
Chu Li shook his head behind.
Which woman went to the dance social gathering to not have a handkerchief, fragrance, lipstick, mirror, however a handcuffed hand|gun police officer certificates regulation enforcement instrument…I hope Pei’s exercise can come to a profitable conclusion?
“Why do you come to choose me up in particular person?” Tang Xi smiled whereas carrying a seat belt. “There ought to have been company right here by now, proper? Mr. Pei will not be there?”
“Grandpa is right here.” Pei Qingzhi was calm.
So as to match Tang Xi’s black costume, he was carrying a black silk shirt, silver-gray swimsuit, and a darkish purple tie. Even when the heating is on within the automotive, it makes folks really feel chilly when it.
“The winter solstice just a few days in the past, I went to brush the tomb for my dad and mom.” Pei Qingzhi mentioned instantly.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?” Tang Xi was dumbfounded, him considerably puzzled.
Solely the dim avenue lamp got here in within the automotive, the sunshine swept via the earlobe, and the low-key mild flashing between the hairs was vaguely seen.
“Really, my grandfather additionally suspected that the air crash was not a pure catastrophe.” Pei Qing sighed and mentioned slowly, “It is simply that Pei’s wind and rain was precarious on the time, and I used to be nonetheless younger. Grandpa was so busy that I used to be kidnapped, grandpa. I utterly stopped my thorough investigation. Twenty years have handed, I am afraid I am unable to discover any extra proof.”
“It seems that you simply additionally perceive.” Tang Xi turned to have a look at the road lights quick backwards outdoors the automotive window.
“After I grew up, I attempted to research and even employed personal investigators, however nothing got here of it.” Pei Qingzhi mentioned once more, “The Fu household appears to be detached to my mom’s demise, and it is only a matter of affection for me. It nonetheless depends upon the truth that I inherited a part of the shares of the Fu household. With my aunt, so long as I ask, she shall be hysterical, after which I cannot ask anymore.”
“The tragic scene of the air crash is conceivable. Why did Pei Yuan accompany the outdated man as an alternative of the 2 sons?” Tang Xi questioned.
“Second uncle was hospitalized with pneumonia. Third uncle had a visitors accident and broke his left leg.” Pei Qingzhi’s tone was considerably ironic.
“…” Tang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, “What a coincidence?”
“Sure, it is such a coincidence.” Pei Qingzhi mentioned calmly.
“I see.” Tang Xi nodded.
With out phrases all the best way, the automotive drove to the Century Lodge.
The Chinese language type of Pei’s outdated home will not be appropriate for Christmas balls, and this time it’s a business occasion organized within the title of the corporate, so the venue can be chosen as the biggest lodge in Jiangnan Metropolis.
There was a crimson carpet on the gate and reporters on either side, however the flash by no means stopped.
When Pei Qingzhi’s automotive stopped, a sharp-eyed reporter had seen it, and instantly all types of lengthy and brief pictures had been dealing with this facet.
It’s mad within the circle that Mr. Pei invited his feminine companion to the dance social gathering, as an alternative of taking the cousin as he did earlier than, and all curiously needed to see what sort of lady could possibly be favored by Mr. Pei.
Pei Qingzhi obtained out of the automotive, walked round to the opposite facet, opened the door very gently, and stretched out his proper arm.
Tang Xi threw the cashmere coat onto the automotive and obtained out of the automotive holding his arm, whereas throwing a heat-preserving appeal on every of them.
Simply kidding, the women who simply walked previous the crimson carpet are simply counting on the dim mild to not see the goose bumps on their pores and skin. In winter, they solely put on a short-sleeved skirt outside. Is that this a human officer? Some even have their backs and legs… If you do not have a chilly or catch a chilly, you need to fear about arthritis! Thankfully, she selected an extended skirt that mopped the ground specifically.
She walked throughout the crimson carpet together with her head upright, the fixed sound of shutters and flashing lights on either side made her just a little irritable, however she was not stage fright on the aura.
Grandma Zhao is certainly very eye-sighted. Initially, she would look just a little bit younger in white when she was outdated, however the glamorous black utterly set off her temperament. Even when she walked beside Pei Qingzhi, she wouldn’t be considered an adjunct.
Xia Qing, who had simply signed her title on the signature board, regarded again and could not assist however sigh when she noticed this scene.
There has by no means been a lady who can stand beside Pei Qingzhi with out being overwhelmed by the limelight, however these two folks walked step-by-step however they complemented one another completely.
“Supervisor Xia.” Pei Qing mentioned howdy.
“President Pei, Miss Tang, it has been a very long time.” Xia Shuang took his spouse’s hand and nodded and smiled, however Xia Shuang did not come.
The 4 of them walked into the corridor collectively, and there was a rush of heating.
Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of reduction, then smiled embarrassedly at Tang Xi.
Tang Xi smiled again, and his eyes shortly swept throughout the corridor.
Father Pei not often wore a black swimsuit, and was speaking and laughing with a number of outdated mates who had been about the identical age. On the opposite facet, she noticed Jiang Xia and his feminine companion Jiang Xiaoli.
Fu Xiao and Li Qingxue had been collectively, and once they noticed them, their expressions appeared to vary just a little.
“Qingzhi, why did you come so late?” Pei Yuan, who had returned to Jiangnan Metropolis, walked up cursively, his tone of voice listening to care is definitely accusing him, and there’s a middle-aged man behind him, however a high-definition swimsuit can hardly maintain him up. Standing subsequent to the radiant Pei Yuan was like a follower.
“Aunt, uncle.” Pei Qing mentioned calmly, “That is Tang Xi.”
Tang Xi smiled barely.
Pei Yuan touched a mushy nail, brows fiercely, her fingers squeezed the champagne glass tightly.
After Pei Qingzhi mentioned howdy, he walked previous Tang Xi with nobody else, and walked in direction of Father Pei.
Pei Yuan bit her lip, and instantly, a low voice got here from behind: ” who Tang Xi is, if she intervened, again then…”
“Shut up!” Pei Yuan turned her head again viciously and glared at his brother.
“Ayuan…” □ □ just a little at a loss.
“One after the other is ineffective!” Pei Yuan let loose a low curse, stepping on excessive heels and strolling to the facet.
