He wrapped the python-patterned cloak tightly around his body and continued walking forward.
The temperature in the She family courtyard is actually not that low. What really makes people feel uncomfortable is the coldness.
His heart beat faster and his hair stood on end, as if he was being targeted by something extremely dangerous.
If it were an ordinary person, he might turn around and run away.
But Wang Jin had no such plan.
The She family itself is also a member of Liu Xian's family. Now that they are here, they must ask about Chang Tianqing's affairs.
If we can find clues to the Liu family's rare items, this trip will not be in vain.
"Where's Changye?"
Wang Jin was thinking in his heart, but he didn't stop talking.
He smiled and then asked in a casual tone.
"The steward is busy preparing for the sacrifice, you may have to wait first."
Before She Yin could open her mouth, the male receptionist who was following her took over.
There is nothing wrong with his tone and demeanor, but his eyes are not friendly.
It's like Pinxixi customer service who is quite enthusiastic but indifferent.
"Sacrifice?"
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows and repeated in a low voice.
Chang Ye is the steward of the She family, and she was the one who invited her yesterday.
But this woman has not appeared for a long time. Instead, she is busy with some sacrifices at this time...
There is only one possibility.
Sacrifice is so important that it has to be carried out.
"cough."
As if he realized that he had said something wrong, the male receptionist turned a little pale.
"Every year on the lunar day of the lunar month, Grandma Chang will go to offer sacrifices."
She Yin pointed to the ancestral hall not far away and gave Wang Jin a rough explanation.
As for why we offer sacrifices and how we offer sacrifices...
That's not something an outsider should listen to.
"I understand, I'll wait here."
Wang Jin smiled and nodded, acting quite easy-going.
He knew that Chang Ye would not let him wait too long.
"Please follow me to the teahouse and wait."
The male receptionist noticed that Wang Jin did not move, so he smiled and spoke again.
It's just that the tone is more like a command.
He has disliked Wang Jin for a long time.
He is obviously younger than me, and the clothes he wears are not brand-name. He behaves like an ordinary high school boy who can be rubbed casually.
Apart from being good-looking, I can't fault him for anything.
And such a person actually went home with She Yin, and even asked to see the steward.
Is this because you want to seduce Chang Ye after seducing She Yin?
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
"Ah, I'll just wait here."
Wang Jin glanced at the situation in the She family's courtyard and waved down the receptionist's suggestion.
Although he could sense the inexplicable hostility of the other party, he was not in the mood to care.
Familiarizing yourself with the environment in advance is much more important than pretending to be cool.
"Tsk."
The male receptionist chewed his teeth and showed undisguised contempt in his eyes.
He found that this wild boy not only did not leave, but started to look around blindly, as if he had never seen the world.
The male receptionist's expression became even more ugly.
He stepped to block Wang Jin's sight, still with a cold fake smile on his face.
"If you don't cooperate, I will ask you to leave."
"ha..."
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless smile.
He found that he kept encountering such not-so-smart people recently.
Since the situation is like this, Li Deshun is like this, and the male receptionist in front of him is like this.
But behind You Kuang is the entire You family, behind Li Deshun is the school, and this male receptionist...
Apparently he forgot that he was a wage earner and thought he had a place in the She family.
Just like waiters in high-end restaurants, their wages are not high, but they always have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
In a TV series, this kind of person would not survive more than half an episode.
In harsh reality...it's even shorter.
"you!"
"When a distinguished guest arrives, he will be welcomed from afar."
Just as She Yin was about to scold him, he was interrupted by another voice.
The woman wearing a green and white cheongsam slowly walked out of the ancestral hall on the side, and at the same time made a strange expression towards Wang Jin.
It seemed like he was trying to smile, but it didn't go very well.
"Chief Chang, you are serious."
Wang Jin nodded and looked at the woman walking slowly.
She is dressed differently today.
The elegant cheongsam wraps up the tall and slender body, and the graceful willow waist makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Her long black hair was tied up high, with a few strands of white hair dotted in it, which made her temperament even more refined.
It's like a banished immortal who doesn't care about worldly things, and like the bright moon, it's hard to get close to it.
She is more mature than the cold and pure She Yin, and more dare not blaspheme.
It's a pity that the fierce and capable temperament developed through years of holding power destroyed this ethereal and fairy-like temperament.
This made Wang Jin always feel a subtle sense of dissonance in her.
Even so, Chang Ye is still a rare beauty, and quite a few people can't take their eyes away.
For example, the male receptionist who was so weird just now.
He just stared blankly at Chang Ye approaching, and then watched her stretch out her palm.
Then he pulled hard.
Snapped!
Before the man could make any move, a clear slap sounded.
The huge force pushed him straight away and hit him hard on the raised edge of the well.
Then there was no movement.
Changye didn't react at all, didn't even look at it, as if he was just chasing away some nasty mosquitoes.
Wang Jin didn't respond either. He knew how to hide his emotions.
The only one who responded was She Yin. She blinked but said nothing.
The She family courtyard fell into an eerie silence.
"Sorry for the waitting."
After a moment of silence, Chang Ye spoke loudly to the young man with a normal expression.
"I didn't wait too long, and She Yin kept chatting with me."
Wang Jin nodded and responded politely.
Then he walked towards the main hall with the leader Changye.
————
dilapidated streets.
There are no street lights here, just neon signs that flicker with ambiguous light.
Under the pink light, there are numb souls coming and going.
Pure enjoyment, or seeking spiritual comfort...
No one cares.
Anyway, if you are caught, you will be detained.
And somewhere where the neon lights couldn't be found, several figures were swaying and waving their fists.
There were no fancy moves, just pushing, wrestling, and tearing.
It looks a little funny, but this is a normal fight scene.
Soon, the man in the leather jacket was outnumbered and was thrown to the ground and kicked wildly.
But he did not give up, but curled up with great experience to protect his internal organs and head, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.
Soon, his unusual eyes allowed him to catch the gap where one of the people was stumbling.
He picked up the stick that fell aside and hit the opponent hard on the head.
Taking this as a breakthrough, the man stood still and managed to survive the siege of several people.
Until those drunkards fled.
"Dare you bully the girls who work for me, Wu Zhuo? I think you are so damn tired of living!"
The man shouted loudly, a smile on his bruised face.
After a while, he slapped his forehead hard, his eyes filled with annoyance.
"....Fuck, I seem to have forgotten to ask for the money."
