Murong Shuang’s eyes were bloodshot. Just now, she lost Gu Xiang. Not long after Gu Xiang’s breath ceased, Shen Man also couldn’t hold on anymore. In just five minutes, she lost the two people she loved most in this life! And the cause of all this was the girl with yellow hair standing in front of her! "Freak?" Xia Mian lightly squinted her eyes, "Heh, a freak has never harmed anyone, but you? Miss Murong? Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you do these things?" Xia Mian’s voice was calm, drifting into Murong Shuang’s ears at an unhurried pace. Murong Shuang’s expression changed several times, yet her gaze remained filled with intense hatred, "Conscience? Ha, if I had a conscience, I would’ve been eaten alive long ago!" Xia Mian slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at Murong Shuang with a complex gaze, "Miss Murong, what do you gain from this?" After doing so much, those who loved her and those she loved all ended up leaving her. What was she after? Murong Shuang was stunned, then after a long while, she gently laughed, "You don’t need to waste words with me. Everyone I care about is dead. Now, living in this world no longer means anything to me..." Xia Mian said nothing, silently watching her, "Who is changing Lu Zechuan’s fate?" Murong Shuang sneered, her gaze showing a tinge of pity, "Why should I tell you? Since you like him, I want you to experience the pain of losing someone you love!" Xia Mian’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Her lips curled slightly, her voice ethereal, as if coming from another world, "Tell me, who is it?" Xia Mian’s voice echoed in Murong Shuang’s ears, seemingly carrying a bewitching power, causing Murong Shuang’s mind to become momentarily confused as some dusty memories flashed continuously like a movie in her mind. As these scenes flashed in Murong Shuang’s mind, similar images also flickered through Xia Mian’s mind. Xia Mian could see Murong Shuang’s entire life story clearly. Including the unpleasant experiences between Murong Shuang and Shen Xiang, and Murong Shuang’s fear of Shen Xiang’s child, Lu Zechuan... Unfortunately, in Murong Shuang’s memory, the one she hired to change Lu Zechuan’s fate wasn’t a single person but a group. A group of people with indistinct faces; Murong Shuang’s memory started getting chaotic here. She couldn’t remember exactly who helped her change Lu Zechuan’s fate. Xia Mian stopped probing Murong Shuang’s memory, withdrew her thoughts, and gently furrowed her brows. At the same time, Murong Shuang’s vision went dark, and she fainted. Lu Zechuan walked over from behind the flower bed, glanced down at Murong Shuang on the ground, his expression complex. "How’s your granddad?" Xia Mian asked, diverting Lu Zechuan’s attention. "Nothing serious, I asked Uncle Sun to take him to the hospital." Lu Zechuan’s magnetic, husky voice couldn’t hide the undertone of loss. Xia Mian turned to look at Murong Shuang, still unconscious on the ground, "What about her? What do you plan to do?" "I respect my granddad’s decision," Lu Zechuan said softly. Murong Shuang may have made mistakes, but she was still, in name, Shen Fei’s wife. If Shen Fei wanted to continue living with her, they wouldn’t interfere. If Shen Fei wanted to divorce her, they would support him. "Let’s go, we still need to visit the Ji Family this afternoon." Xia Mian didn’t spare Murong Shuang another glance. This kind of woman couldn’t simply be described with a single word, "troublemaker." She had shattered what could have been a good life! Lu Zechuan no longer looked at Murong Shuang. There was a time when he thought she loved him, cared for him. He believed her mistreatment was due to being under a curse. But now, it seemed, Murong Shuang’s affection for him had all been an act! "By the way! Give me that jade of yours!" Xia Mian suddenly said. Given Murong Shuang’s apprehensive feelings towards Lu Zechuan, how could she have been so kind as to give that piece of jade to him? It’s likely that showing her that jade back then had been premeditated! Lu Zechuan handed the jade over to Xia Mian without question. Xia Mian tucked the jade away before leaving the Shen Family with Lu Zechuan. As for whether Murong Shuang lived or died, that was no longer her concern. The two left the Shen Family, grabbed a quick bite at a roadside stall, and then contacted Ji Hua. Upon receiving Xia Mian’s call, Ji Hua became visibly excited, immediately showering, perfuming, and dressing neatly, then stood at the Ji Family’s gate with his parents to await Xia Mian’s arrival. To say the Ji Family had been unlucky recently would be an understatement. Potential business deals were snatched away without reason, and family health was repeatedly compromised, one ailment after another, casting a gloomy shadow over the entire Ji Family. Just as Ji Hua was waiting eagerly, Xia Mian’s car finally came into view. Seeing Xia Mian again, Ji Changxing was somewhat emotional. From afar, he extended a hand, intending to shake hands with Xia Mian, only to be met with an ice-cold glance from Lu Zechuan instead. Ji Changxing awkwardly smiled, self-consciously providing his own explanation, "Mr. Lu and Miss Xia have a true bond! Close as glue, inseparable as paint!" Lu Zechuan’s gaze remained indifferent, speaking in a cool voice, "I can’t help it. If I’m away from my Mianmian, I might die." Though what Lu Zechuan said was the truth, Ji Changxing only felt it was Lu Zechuan flaunting his relationship. "Miss Xia, Mr. Lu, please come inside!" Mu Keying pleasantly invited the two. Xia Mian nodded, entering the Ji Family residence together with Lu Zechuan. In the Ji Family’s reception room, aside from Ji Changxing’s family, sat three others—two middle-aged men, slightly older than Ji Changxing, and an elderly man with a commanding presence. As the three saw Xia Mian enter, they all froze for a moment, then looked at Ji Changxing with puzzled expressions. Weren’t they supposed to have invited a master? This young girl, by no measure, fits the typical master profile! Seeing the doubt in the three people’s eyes, Ji Changxing quickly explained, "Dad, big brother, second brother, Miss Xia is the master who saved Hua Zi last time!" Couldn’t let them underestimate Xia Mian! The skepticism in the three men’s eyes diminished significantly, "Have you explained the situation to Miss Xia?" Ji Changxing shook his head, "Not yet, Dad, you’d better explain this one yourself!" Ji Chenggong nodded, his aged eyes focusing on Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, our Ji Family has recently faced challenges. Our fortune is blocked, and family health is endangered. At this rate, I fear for our family registry!" "If Miss Xia can help lift our troubles, the Ji Family will reward you handsomely!" Ji Chenggong, having led the Ji Family for so many years, was well-practiced in dealing with people. Xia Mian smiled gently, "I have some ties with the Ji Family, so there’s no need for such formality, sir." With that, Xia Mian’s gaze swept over the three men. Though the three men were managing to sit there, their faces clearly showed signs of exhaustion, dark circles under their eyes, and pallor, as though something was haunting them. "Have any of you been plagued by nightmares lately, unable to eat or sleep peacefully?" Xia Mian’s eyes glimmered, her smile gentle, but her words left them startled.
