Mrs. Lu’s eyes almost rolled to the sky, her face full of disdain, as she waved Lu Zeming away, "Go do what you need to do!" Such a grown man, fearless of heaven and earth, yet afraid of women... Luckily, her eldest grandson wised up and found Mianmian, otherwise, the Old Lu Family would face an end! Despite being disliked by Mrs. Lu, Lu Zeming still had a cheeky smile, "Alright, Grandma, I’ll get busy then!" Although he said if Meng Meng’s parents couldn’t be found, he would adopt her, a child should still be raised with her biological parents. Saying he’d get busy, Lu Zeming glanced towards the kitchen from the corner of his eyes, "Is Miss Xia here too?" These days, Lu Zeming took on a case and was busy, not having the chance to be at home, thus unaware that Xia Mian moved into the Lu Family. Seeing Xia Mian at the Lu Family early in the morning, Lu Zeming was indeed surprised. Shouldn’t his brother pursue her slowly if he liked her? Bringing her home so soon seems irresponsible! "Yeah, the two are in love, inseparable." Mrs. Lu, while teasing Meng Meng, spoke lazily, "It’s good for young couples to cultivate feelings before marriage!" Lu Zechuan didn’t explain to the elder why Xia Mian came to the Lu Family. After all, some things are too mysterious and might not be believable to her. Lu Zeming responded with a simple "oh," not paying further attention to the matter. No one dared to say a word against what Lu Zechuan wanted to do. Looking for trouble has its limits. In the time Lu Zeming dallied, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan finished their meal and came out. "Have you found her parents?" Lu Zechuan glanced at Meng Meng and asked plainly. Lu Zeming spread his hands with an expression of helplessness, "A missing child report has been filed, but no one has come to claim her yet." Lu Zechuan slightly furrowed his brows, "Then hurry up and look!" Lu Zeming pursed his lips, "Search, search, search, I’ll go right away!" Talking as he picked up his coat and headed out. Lu Zechuan rubbed his temples, the recent events bewildering him, but he still had no clue who was trying to harm him. The feeling of an invisible enemy while standing in the open is quite unpleasant. "Young master, there are some matters at the company that require your attention." Uncle Sun approached, leaning close to Lu Zechuan and saying. Lu Zechuan responded with a nod, "Alright, I’ll head over in a bit." He looked toward Xia Mian as he spoke. After finishing her meal, Xia Mian was immediately pulled aside by Mrs. Lu, receiving warm hospitality, fearing she might not eat or sleep well at the Lu Family. "Are you heading out?" Xia Mian noticed Lu Zechuan’s gaze and walked over to him. Lu Zechuan nodded, "There’s something at work that needs my attention." "I’ll go with you," Xia Mian offered with a smile. Seeing Xia Mian proactively offer to accompany Lu Zechuan, Mrs. Lu beamed with joy. This young couple is truly affectionate! Stuck together wherever they go! They left together, with Xia Mian driving. Before they reached the Lu Group, Xia Mian received a call from Ji Changxing. "Miss Xia, could you possibly come to the Ji Family?" Ji Changxing’s anxious tone was like ants on a hot pan. Xia Mian slightly furrowed her brows, "Has Ji Hua had another episode?" Ji Changxing sighed, "No, but it’s more serious than that!" Xia Mian pressed her lips, "I’ll be there in thirty minutes." After hanging up, Xia Mian focused on driving, dropping Lu Zechuan off at the Lu Group ten minutes later. "I’ll head to the Ji Family quickly and pick you up after work." Xia Mian smiled apologetically at Lu Zechuan. Originally, she came to the Lu Family to protect Lu Zechuan, but now the Ji, Gu, and Fu families have been having continuous issues, dividing her attention. "You go handle that first!" Lu Zechuan waved at Xia Mian, his hand at his ear as if making a call, "Keep in touch!" Xia Mian nodded and drove off. She arrived at the Ji Family twenty minutes later. In the Ji family hall, Ji Changxing and Mu Keying were anxiously pacing back and forth like tops. Seeing Xia Mian, Mu Keying relaxed visibly and quickly grabbed Xia Mian’s hand, "Miss Xia, thank heavens you’re here!" Xia Mian discreetly retracted her hand, "What’s going on?" Mu Keying stammered, unable to clearly explain, so she simply pulled Xia Mian’s hand again, "Miss Xia, come with me, you’ll see!" Mu Keying’s overly familiar demeanor slightly unsettled Xia Mian, who pulled her hand back again after suppressing her discomfort. "Please, lead the way, Mrs. Ji," Xia Mian said calmly. Mu Keying urgently led the way, taking Xia Mian upstairs. Ji Changxing followed silently, looking deeply troubled. As soon as they reached the second floor, Xia Mian spotted a girl in the corridor corner. The girl had a cigarette in her mouth, thick smoky makeup, and large gold hoop earrings, with colorful braids tied with multiple colored hairbands. Seeing Xia Mian coming upstairs, the girl showed an inexplicable hostility in her eyes, "Mom, who is she?" "The person saving your brother’s life!" Mu Keying called back, leading Xia Mian past Ji Ling. As she passed the girl, Xia Mian noticed a red string on her wrist, with a golden gourd etched with intricate patterns hanging from it. She had seen the same gourd on Gu Zhi. Something seemed to flicker in Xia Mian’s mind. Before she could think more, Mu Keying had already led her to push open a door. That fleeting thought was temporarily pushed aside. The room was dim, curtains drawn, filled with the heavy smell of burnt paper. Ji Hua was chained to the bed with four chains, emitting low growls. "Miss Xia, it’s a good thing you gave us those talismans, and we bought a black dog on our way home, otherwise, when Hua Zi relapsed, we would all be in deep trouble!" Mu Keying said, still shaken. Ji Hua suddenly fell ill again, and the family’s black dog started barking fiercely, allowing them to come to their senses before Ji Hua could act. After that, they subdued Ji Hua with the talismans Xia Mian had given them, tying him to the bed. "Binding him isn’t a long-term solution." Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed deeply. For Ji Hua to be cursed with black magic, the person responsible must be found. Without finding the person casting the spell, Ji Hua’s situation will remain unsolvable. "Miss Xia, we only have one son; please, you must save him!" Mu Keying’s eyes reddened, kneeling before Xia Mian. Ji Changxing, speechless, followed suit, kneeling silently. Though it’s said a man kneels only to gold, for his son, Ji Changxing couldn’t care less. "The person behind the curse evidently wants him dead." Xia Mian’s eyes glimmered as she softly said, "If you hadn’t had my talisman, he likely would have dragged your whole family down with him." She paused slightly, "Oh, right, your daughter might be fine."
