Azurepeak did not expect Ya Shuo to ask him this question. He was stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer. Ya Shuo also did not expect that his casual question would cause Azurepeak to be silent. He was also confused. The two of them were silent for a long time. Ya Shuo changed his smile and asked with a serious expression,"Something really happened. You…Did you see a ghost?”
Azurepeak had been struggling to decide if he should tell Ya Shuo about Meng Lin's identity and origins. If he told, it would break his promise to keep his mouth shut. If he didn't tell, his knowledge in this area was not as profound as Ya Shuo's. Azurepeak and his sister really couldn't think of a better way to transmigrate back. Although Ya Shuo had never transmigrated before, with the novels he had read, he might be able to help. Ya Shuo saw Azurepeak ignoring him and frowning as if he was thinking about something. He was also very puzzled, but he was a smart person and did not continue to ask. He only carefully observed Azurepeak's expression and did not miss any subtle changes in his expression. According to Azurepeak's expression, he was conflicted and melancholic, deep in thought and sighing. He estimated that Azurepeak had encountered a problem that he could not solve but was difficult to talk about.
Ya Shuo took a sip of coffee. When he put the coffee cup back, he deliberately made the sound of the cup and the saucer colliding louder than usual to interrupt Azurepeak's thoughts. Azurepeak was also shocked by this sudden voice. He recovered from his thoughts and realized that Ya Shuo was staring at him. He felt a little awkward. After all, the two of them were classmates and good friends for many years. They had a tacit understanding of each other. Ya Shuo broke the silence first." Don't be in a hurry to tell me. It's not too late to tell me when you really need me." Azurepeak instantly felt no pressure when he heard that. He smiled gratefully at Yashuo. The two of them went to talk about something else.
When Azurepeak returned to the mansion at night, he found that the house was dark. He turned on the lights, but there was no one in the house. He called out to Menglin, but no one responded. Where did this girl run off to? She was sitting on the sofa alone. He was the only one in the huge villa. Azurepeak suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness. Unknowingly, he recalled the first time he saw his sister, who was not related to him by blood, after Meng Lin returned from overseas. He recalled that he had some doubts about this sister at that time, but how he dispelled his doubts. Later on, he could not remember some details clearly. Later on, his sister took the initiative to confess. Too many things had happened in the past few days. This younger sister of unknown origin had suddenly landed in the Xia residence, and there was also the death of her father and Ah Xiang. It was as if everything had been put under a curse. It happened one after another like a ghost. Azurepeak thought for a long time before the ringing of a clock interrupted his thoughts. He turned to look at the ancient clock on the wall and saw that it showed 9:00 sharp. It was already so late. Why wasn't Meng Lin back yet? Where did he go? Did something happen? Thinking of this, Azurepeak couldn't help but worry.
Where was Meng Lin? She was with Grand Wu. Ever since Qingfeng returned, she had left home immediately. She had enjoyed her freedom at home for a while, but she felt too bored, so she wanted to go to the factory to take a look. In the end, she met Master Wu on the street who was going out to finish his business and was about to return to the residence. The moment Master Wu's car brushed past Meng Lin, who was taking a walk, Master Wu immediately recognized the back of the young lady from the Xia family. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Meng Lin, so he stopped the car and called out to her. When Meng Lin saw that it was Master Wu, he didn't think much of it and got into the car. After getting into the car, Master Wu heard that Meng Lin was planning to go to the factory, so he brought her to the factory. When Meng Lin got out of the car, Master Wu did not forget to say," Let's have dinner together. I'll send someone to pick you up." Before Meng Lin could consider whether to go or not, Master Wu's driver had already driven away.
Everything in the factory was as usual. Uncle Wang said that there was nothing unusual these few days. It was just that it was already summer, and these agricultural products were now in the off-season. It was the same in the summer of previous years, so there was nothing to make a fuss about. This kind of peanut, melon, seed, and chestnut candy sold especially well during the New Year. The income from the few months before and after the New Year had earned back the principal and interest for the year. The fabric was selling quite well. Because of the change of seasons in summer, many people bought fabric to make clothes, so they made quite a lot of money. Meng Lin specially went to take a look at the jujube wood tobacco pipe. Uncle Wang said that ever since the incident with Master Wu, nothing had happened. Meng Lin had heard Azurepeak say that he had come to the factory as well, but Uncle Wang said that he did not see Young Master. Meng Lin felt a little strange, but he did not ask further. Meng Lin was with Uncle Wang. He looked at the accounts for the past few days and found that there was nothing unusual. The factory was also safe and sound. He was finally relieved. Uncle Wang had always praised the Eldest Miss for being very dedicated, unlike other rich young ladies who only knew how to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves. Meng Lin smiled and didn't say anything else. He was busy at the factory until dinner time. Master Wu's car arrived at the factory entrance on time.
The car pulled Meng Lin to Drunken Immortal Restaurant. The driver brought her to a private room. In the private room, only Master Wu was waiting for Meng Lin. All the food and drinks had been served. Once Meng Lin entered, the chauffeur closed the door behind him.
" Come, come, Miss Xia. Please have a seat." Master Wu was all smiles as he gestured for Meng Lin to sit opposite him.
" Thank you, Martial Lord." Meng Lin sat down politely.
" What are you talking about? It's my honor to be able to invite Miss Xia," Martial Lord said as he poured wine into Meng Lin's cup. "Come, Miss Xia, let's have a toast."
The two of them clinked their wine glasses." Come, eat. Don't stand on ceremony." Grand Wu gestured for Meng Lin to eat. After drinking a few cups of wine, the two of them started to talk more. In the past, Meng Lin was a rich young lady in Master Wu's heart, elegant, beautiful, and pure. However, this time, the two of them chatted happily with the help of the wine. Master Wu could not help but look at Xia Menglin in a new light." Aiyaya, I really misjudged her. I didn't expect that not only is Miss Meng Lin beautiful, but she is also full of talent. Not only can she read foreign languages, but she can also dance." Men who do business like us have to find women like you to make a fortune, haha.”Grand Wu felt extremely happy because Xia Menglin was better than he had imagined. "If I have the chance to see Miss Meng Lin's dance moves, then I'll be really lucky." When Meng Lin heard Master Wu's request, he casually pushed the boat and said,"I'll be back in the morning."" Then if we have the chance to meet at the ballroom in the future, I'll definitely live up to your expectations." Master Wu was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately called the chauffeur waiting outside the door in and arranged for them to go to the Great Shanghai Dance Hall after dinner.
When Meng Lin heard this, he knew that Master Wu was serious. Now that things had turned out this way, he couldn't reject it no matter what, so he had to obey. Besides, there was nothing wrong with being with Master Wu. With her status as the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Master Wu couldn't do anything to her.
After dinner, at the Grand Shanghai Song and Dance Hall. Grand Wu went straight to the point and invited Meng Lin to dance a song. Meng Lin was quite generous. One look and one could tell that she was a woman who had seen the world. She and Grand Wu danced a fast-paced song with great rapport. Grand Wu looked at the little beauty in front of him, and his eyes were obviously filled with admiration for her. Meng Lin was not a fool, so she could naturally feel it. However, she pretended not to know and only respected Grand Wu as an elder. The dance hall was too lively. There were also many financial tycoons and business geniuses who came to play. They were all around the age of Master Wu. Master Wu also introduced the little beauty beside him to a few influential figures in society. When everyone saw that she was Master Wu's friend, they naturally respected her. Coupled with her beauty, extraordinary temperament, and highly-educated conversation, those successful men also liked and admired her. Meng Lin enjoyed being respected by others, especially the rich. This was what she had always wanted before she transmigrated. Who knew that she did not have the time to get it in the 21st century? It was just that she accidentally transmigrated and changed her identity. All the glory and wealth she dreamed of came with it. She could not help but feel that life was really like a drama.
When the clock on the wall rang again, Azurepeak saw that it was already 11: It was already 00. Meng Lin was still not back so late. Azurepeak knew that something had happened to her. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He could not sit still anymore and planned to drive out to look for him. Before she could get into the car, she was dazzled by a beam of headlights coming in from outside the iron gate. The car stopped outside the iron gate. The driver opened the back door and Meng Lin got out of the car. Qing Feng had yet to recover from his shock when he saw Meng Lin wave goodbye to the person sitting in the back seat. He closed the door and the driver left. Meng Lin swaggered into the iron gate, completely ignoring Qing Feng who was standing in the courtyard looking at her foolishly. He put on an indifferent look and entered the mansion.
Azurepeak was confused and quickly followed him into the mansion. When he saw Menglin go up the stairs to his room and close the door behind him, he felt that something was amiss.
" This girl, you're back so late and you're still being reasonable. What the hell are you doing?" Azurepeak shook his head helplessly and sat on the sofa. He pretended to calm himself down and ignore Meng Lin, but Meng Lin's attitude really made him feel strange. He recalled that Meng Lin was very happy when he got off the boat during the day. After he came back, he went out to see Ya Shuo. He didn't seem to have provoked this sister. Why was she acting like this? Azurepeak sat on the sofa. The clock on the wall showed 11: It was already 30. Meng Lin entered the room and didn't move. He didn't know if he had fallen asleep or something. Why don't we sleep first today and talk about it tomorrow morning? Azurepeak thought of this and went upstairs to his room.
Azurepeak was lying on his bed, still thinking about it in an uneasy manner. He felt that this woman was too fickle. He had not done anything wrong, so why did she give him such a hard time when she came back? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He sat up straight, and the more he thought about it, the more he could not fall asleep. He thought," You made me unable to sleep, and I will also make you unable to sleep." He quickly got up to open the door and knocked on Meng Lin's door three times...
