Chapter 177: The Rich Jin Whose Soul Was Replaced (22)
A few months later, Lu Yi once again came to Lan Xin's villa early in the morning. Unlike his previous impatience, this time, when Lu Yi saw Lan Xin coming down from upstairs, his eyes lit up and he greeted her excitedly.
Lan Xin saw the excitement in Lu Yi's eyes and knew what he was thinking at the moment. She deliberately did not speak and walked straight to the dining table.
Lu Yi didn't think much of it, thinking Liu Yuanyuan was just imitating Lan Xin's habits. He hurriedly followed her and tentatively asked, "Yuanyuan?"
Lan Xin ignored him and ate her breakfast. Lu Yi thought she hadn't heard him, so he turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled out a chair next to Lan Xin and sat down. He looked at Lan Xin and raised his voice again, "Yuanyuan!"
"Lu Yi, are you sick?"
Lan Xin put down the cup in her hand, glanced at him, and said in a displeased manner.
Lu Yi stared at Lan Xin with wide eyes in shock, and said dissatisfiedly: "How could you scold me?"
Although Yuanyuan was allowed to live in Lan Xin's house and learn her words and deeds, how could Yuanyuan scold him in Lan Xin's tone?
Even if I imitate Lan Xin's speech, I still have to scold him, right?
Seeing his dissatisfaction, Lan Xin asked back, "How did I scold you? You have nothing to do so early in the morning, yet you come to my house and call me Yuanyuan. If that's not a disease, what is it?"
"When you called me 'Yuanyuan' the first time just now, I thought you were blind because you were still awake this early in the morning. But when you saw that I ignored you, you chased after me and continued to call me 'Yuanyuan'. Isn't this a sign of illness?"
"If you want to find Yuanyuan, go to her own home. She went back yesterday. You brought her out before, so you should know where her home is, right?"
At this time...
"I heard it just now, Xiaoyi, why did you call Liu Yuanyuan's name to Xinxin?"
When Lan's mother came in from outside, she happened to see her daughter eating breakfast. Lu Yi was sitting next to her daughter, so she naturally heard their conversation just now.
When Lu Yi saw Lan's mother come in, he couldn't help but panic, and immediately said, "Auntie, I was just joking with Xinxin, Xinxin, don't you think so?"
As Lu Yi spoke, he winked at Lan Xin, asking her to help put in a few good words, but all he got was a big eye roll from Lan Xin.
Lan Xin walked over and took her mother's hand, "Mom, don't worry about him. Lu Yi hasn't woken up since early this morning and he's acting crazy here."
Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh dryly when he heard that, and agreed: "I think I got up too early today, I really haven't woken up yet!"
At this moment, Lu Yi looked at Lan Xin's natural expression and couldn't tell whether it was because Liu Yuanyuan's imitation was too good or because Lan Xin was not replaced at all.
But the three-month deadline for exchanging the pendant for a soul has passed?
Could it be that Lan Xin didn't wear the pendant close to her body all the time?
Thinking of this, Lu Yi looked up at Lan Xin, "Xinxin, is the pendant I gave you still there?"
Lan Xin didn't expose his mistake after hearing this, and continued, "Yes, but if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."
Lan Xin took off the pendant from her neck and placed it in front of Lu Yi. "Here it is. Now that we have made our relationship clear, I will return the pendant to you."
Lu Yi stared at the pendant in front of him, stunned for a moment, then reached out and pushed the pendant back. "Xinxin, you misunderstood. I don't mean to take this pendant back. Since I've given it to you, it's yours."
Of course he would not take back the pendant in front of him. However, when he saw the pendant in front of him, Lu Yi was a little unsure whether Lan Xin had been replaced?
Did you say she's been replaced?
But Lan Xin's every move was so much like Lan Xin herself.
What if Lan Xin was not replaced?
But Lan Xin has been wearing this pendant for three months, so it shouldn't be useless.
After all, Yuanyuan paid attention to the pendant on Lan Xin's neck every day. If Lan Xin didn't wear the pendant close to her body, Yuanyuan would not have failed to tell him. Since Yuanyuan didn't say it, then Lan Xin must have worn the pendant for the full period of time.
But why is all this happening?
Lu Yi glanced at Lan's mother, suppressing his doubts. He waited until Lan Xin left the house. Lu Yi immediately followed her and said in a low voice, "There aren't many people here now. Can you tell me the truth? What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
Lan Xin swung the pendant around her finger and said, feigning ignorance, "Lu Yi, you've been saying all sorts of incomprehensible things today. What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yi wanted to confirm whether she had been replaced by Liu Yuanyuan, but she refused to let him do so easily.
She did it on purpose. Seeing this scumbag getting so anxious and restless added some fun to her boring daily life.
at this time......
"Boom!"
The jade pendant that Lan Xin was holding in her hand flew out and hit the marble floor with a "bang".
Lan Xin hurried over to pick up the jade pendant. Looking at the spider-marked jade pendant, she deliberately shook her head with regret, "This jade pendant is too fragile. It fell once before, and after it was repaired, I didn't expect it to be so fragile."
"what?"
Lu Yi couldn't believe it and snatched the spider-marked jade pendant from Lan Xin's hand, examining it carefully. "Lan Xin, have you ever taken this pendant off?"
Lu Yi suddenly seemed to have discovered something and grabbed Lan Xin. "No, this jade pendant seems to have been replaced. Lan Xin, where did you repair the jade pendant? We need to go and ask them for an explanation."
Ruining his good deeds will let him know that I will never let him off easily.
"What do you want to say?"
Lan Xin slapped Lu Yi's hand away and looked at him like an idiot. "The jade pendant has spider veins on it. Shouldn't it be replaced?"
Lan Xin deliberately tilted her head to look at Lu Yi, almost pissing Lu Yi off to death.
"Lan Xin, you...why are you so careless!"
Lu Yi held the jade pendant covered with spider patterns and looked at Lan Xin with a flushed face.
"I was careless?"
Lan Xin said as she pushed Lu Yi angrily, "The pendant you gave me is of poor quality. It fell off on its own for no apparent reason and it can't withstand a fall. What does it have to do with me?"
"Also, didn't you just say that the pendant was a gift for me? It's mine now. I didn't say anything when the pendant fell, so why are you barking like a dog?"
"If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have accepted your pendant. Okay, I'll return your broken pendant to you."
Lan Xin said as she threw the pendant chain in her hand directly into Lu Yi's arms and turned away.
"Lan Xin!"
Lu Yi hurriedly caught the pendant chain, "Lan Xin, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood me."
Seeing Lan Xin walking away, Lu Yi hurriedly chased after her with the pendant.
