Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

He Zhijing took the opportunity to have a couple of drinks with Xu's father. When he looked at the wine cabinet, he saw only half a bottle of Moutai left, which was the leftover from the last time he drank with Xu's father. He said, "Father-in-law, I'll send you another box of wine."

Xu Shan waved his hand and said, "No, no, I don't drink normally. Now that you're here, we can have a few sips. Drinking too much is not good."

He Zhijing nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

During the meal, Xu Shan said, "Ah Jing, your Lanhui Jewelry flagship store will officially open on Saturday. Congratulations."

He raised his glass and said, "I wish your jewelry business will be prosperous and successful."

He Zhijing clinked glasses and said, "Thank you, Dad. Dad and Mom, you two will be the guests."

Zhang Qiuxia smiled and said, "We will definitely come to congratulate you. But it would be bad if we were guests. We are neither celebrities nor business tycoons, so we can't hold our own."

He Zhijing said seriously: "Mom, look at what you said, you two are the parents of the young lady of the He family, you are more qualified than anyone else. Besides, our family does not need anyone to support the occasion."

After dinner, Xu Zhihui took He Zhijing's hand and came to her room, saying, "Speaking of jewelry, let me show you something."

She took out the exquisite wooden box with colorful patterns on it from the bedside table. He Zhijing's eyes lit up, he exclaimed, and then he smelled a rich woody fragrance.

He Zhijing remembered that this was a gift from his mother, and he even joked that it was a gift from the daughter-in-law of the He family. He wanted to see it that time, but Xu Zhihui didn't let him.

Xu Zhihui asked with a smile: "Guess what's inside?"

He Zhijing shook his head and said, "I guess it's jewelry, but it must not be ordinary, so I can't guess it."

Xu Zhihui opened the box, and golden light poured out through the gap. She turned off the lights in the room, and the leaking golden light illuminated half of the house. When the Phoenix Hairpin was fully revealed, the whole room was filled with golden light, and the room was bright, which made He Zhijing even more amazed.

The golden light recognized human nature and then slowly receded. Xu Zhihui turned on the light again. A phoenix bird with a variety of postures and a lively appearance jumped into his eyes.

He Zhijing patted his forehead and exclaimed: "How amazing! It turned out to be a phoenix. I should have thought of it."

Xu Zhihui held it in her palm and was amazed. It was very different from the first time she saw it. The more she looked at it, the more spiritual it seemed. The phoenix in her palm was about to fly. She suddenly felt that the life of the phoenix was awakening. A stream of vitality gathered into a thin line, which continuously flowed from her palm into the body of the phoenix hairpin and became the source of life for the phoenix hairpin.

Xu Zhihui already had the body of a phoenix, and the phoenix hairpin was connected to her heart and was awakened. Xu Zhihui was shocked and thought, "Could it be... is it that ugly bird? It is the original body of the phoenix, and it is also the phoenix itself."

The space in Xu Zhihui's memory seemed to be dug up, and a large amount of information was thrown out, projecting the things in her mind into the room scene by scene, like a holographic movie.

She saw how the ancient bird evolved magnificently into a phoenix, and only a shell of the original body remained, which eventually became a mark on her body. Later, the phoenix died in battle, and the bird separated from the phoenix, which is the origin of this phoenix hairpin.

Xu Zhihui was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. She stroked the Phoenix Hairpin and said, "Big Bird, I'm back. Long time no see."

The bird let out a loud cry, stood up from the palm of her hand, and nodded in response. Xu Zhihui hurriedly shushed him and said, "Don't cry..." The bird said, "Phoenix, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long, long time."

Xu Zhihui said: "Yes, I'm back."

The bird suddenly flew up, circled in the room for a few times, and then flew into Xu Zhihui's body.

Xu Zhihui sensed something on her right arm and quickly removed the sleeve of her right shoulder. Sure enough, she saw a phoenix mark on her right arm. The big bird came back. After a while, the mark disappeared and merged with her.

Xu Zhihui touched her right arm. Although she couldn't see it, she could sense the presence of the big bird.

He Zhijing was shocked. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed what was happening. He trembled and said, "What...what...is going on? Xiao Huizi, was the phoenix in the picture just now you?"

Xu Zhihui nodded and said, "Yes, I am the phoenix bird. I am back."

He Zhijing was about to say something when Zhang Qiuxia knocked on the door and asked, "Huihui, what's wrong?"

The bird's cry just now must have been heard by her mother. Xu Zhihui got up to open the door and said, "Mom, it's nothing."

Zhang Qiuxia said "Oh", looked at the two of them, smiled, sighed and said: "Ah Jing, Huihui, it's getting late, you should go back. My mother-in-law is alone at home, and I always feel that she is lonely. And I have your father, Tutu, Xiaoque, and Minghui to accompany me here."

The two responded, "Okay, Mom, let's go back then."

Zhang Qiuxia got a box of pastries for Xu Zhihui to take back and sent them downstairs.

Old Wu said as he drove: "Master, my uncle and cousin's family are here. They have been staying at the He family for the past two days."

Xu Zhihui said happily: "That's good, Mama Fei won't be so lonely."

He Zhijing frowned and asked doubtfully, "Could my mother know something? She never called me once. Old Wu, did you let anything slip?"

Old Wu said quickly, "No. Master, I swear, I kept my mouth shut and didn't say a word."

It was almost 10 o'clock when she returned to the He family's house. Hearing the familiar sound of a horn coming from the He family's yard, Sun Xiaofei hurried out to see. Only when she saw the lights of Old Wu's car in the yard did she calm down.

He Zhijing and Xu Zhihui immediately got out of the car and ran over, shouting, "Mom, Mama Fei, we're back."

Sun Xiaofei looked at the two of them, a calm smile appeared on her face, and she said happily: "Xiaohui, Ajing, you have eaten, right? I didn't save any food for you."

He Zhijing said, "I have eaten at my parents-in-law's house. Mother, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in the capital the day before yesterday, which delayed us for two days, so Ah Hui and I stayed in Lingyue Villa for two days."

Xu Zhihui took Sun Xiaofei's hand and said, "Yes. Lingyue Villa is the home of my good sister Du Yueqiu, so it's a good opportunity to visit them."

Sun Xiaofei smiled and said, "I saw the news. It said that Beijing had the heaviest snowfall in 10 years. Ah Hui, is snow fun? Alas, it's a pity that we don't get snow here in the south."

Xu Zhihui said: "It's fun, really fun."

She spoke excitedly about playing in the snow at Lingyue Villa.

When he entered the house, he saw his second uncle Sun Yida and his family of four sitting in the living room. His second aunt Lin Qiuya was talking about Sun Manting for some reason. When he saw He Zhijing enter the house, his second uncle said loudly, "Ah Jing, you went to Beijing to play for two days by yourself. It's really not nice of you."

Second Aunt glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ah Jing went to the capital to do serious business, not to have fun."

Sun Manting ran over as if she had seen a savior, pulled Xu Zhihui and said with a smile: "Cousin, when will you take me to Beijing to play?"

Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "I won't be going there again in the short term."

She pulled Sun Manting aside and asked quietly, "Manting, what did your aunt say to you just now?"

Sun Manting pouted and said, "Gao Jun asked me out for dinner today. He saved me last time, so I was embarrassed to refuse and went. I came back and told my mom about it. She scolded me and said that this guy had bad intentions."

Xu Zhihui frowned and asked, "Why did he invite you to dinner?"

Sun Manting replied: "He wants to cooperate with the He Group, but my cousin refused last time. He wants to use me as a lobbyist, but I have already rejected him."

Xu Zhihui had no good feelings towards Gao Jun. He repeatedly appeared in front of her, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or coincidental. Moreover, he was from Blackwater, and she didn't know whether he was good or bad, which made her dislike him even more.

She then said, "Aunt is right to worry. Don't associate with this person in the future."

Sun Manting replied: "I understand."

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and Aunt Lin Qiuya said again: "Ah Hui, Ah Jing, let me tell you something. The person who scratched Manting in the last attack was indeed mentally ill, but when the police interrogated him later, although the madman was talking nonsense, he stammered and said that someone instigated him. I suspect that person is Gao Jun, who is playing the role of a hero saving a beautiful girl."

He Zhijing said angrily: "What?"

Lin Qiuya said: "But there is no evidence."

Xu Zhihui thought to herself, "No wonder my aunt was so angry when Manting went to see this person." Then she said, "My aunt's inference makes sense. Manting will never talk to this person again."
