Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue arrived at the vicinity of Ximen Dalin Bridge without any obstruction and found the villa where Mrs. Jin lived.

With the help of the guest prop card, Li Huoyue easily entered the villa through the main gate.

After walking for a long time, Li Huoyue realized that something was wrong.

The scenery at night should have been pitch black, but the villa was brightly lit everywhere, and the maid leading the way didn't even need to carry a lantern.

Li Huoyue looked at the surrounding scenery as he walked. In the dark courtyard, plants wrapped in strands of glowing ribbons were quietly placed in various places in the garden. They had various shapes and looked like exhibits on display.

I didn’t expect that the garden at night could be more attractive than during the day.

Who is this Mrs. Jin and where did this glowing ribbon come from?

Li Huoyue clenched the guest card in his hand tightly, not daring to relax at all.

After sightseeing all the way, the maid took Li Huoyue into a reception room. The items in the room were arranged very ordinary, but...

The items are not ordinary.

From small items like tea cups to large items like wall pillars, tables and chairs, each item looks very expensive. It feels like any one of them can feed an ordinary family of three for a year.

The maid asked Li Huoyue to wait a moment while she went to inform them.

Li Huoyue felt something strange.

Generally, if the host is not asleep, Li Huoyue will be taken directly to the host's current location with the guest prop card, as accurate as GPS.

The lights in the villa were bright, so normally the owner should have fallen asleep.

Although it was strange, Li Huoyue still chose to wait in the living room and observe the layout and structure of the entire room.

She was unfamiliar with the place and didn't dare to walk around randomly.

Soon, an old maid came out supporting a woman with white hair. Judging from her clothes, she should be the owner of the villa.

Li Huoyue stood up, bowed to the old lady, and said hello: "Madam Jin, I am sorry to bother you."

The woman who sat down had a kind face. She raised her hand and greeted Li Huoyue with a smile: "Child, come here. Let me see what you look like."

Li Huoyue was stunned and looked up at Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin's eyes and eyebrows looked familiar. Li Huoyue couldn't remember where she had seen her before, but she was sure that she had never seen Mrs. Jin before.

At this moment, Mrs. Jin was like an elder in the family greeting her own children. Her tone was calm and her eyes showed a natural fondness for the younger generation.

But Li Huoyue got in with the guest props card!

Why would a master ask to go over and look at his face carefully?

I can't remember this even if I see it.

Mrs. Jin still looked at Li Huoyue gently, waiting for her to come over.

Li Huoyue was in a stalemate for two seconds, but couldn't hold on any longer and chose to move forward.

The other person is just an old lady with white hair, what can I do? Go over and fight?

It’s not that Li Huoyue overestimated himself. The age difference between the two old ladies was there. The two old ladies combined might not be a match for Li Huoyue.

When Li Huoyue came closer, Mrs. Jin excitedly took out a pair of glasses from her bosom and put them on slowly.

Li Huoyue certainly recognized that thing, but the technical level of today's craftsmen is not yet up to that level.

So where did this thing come from?!

Li Huoyue lowered his head secretly and calmed himself down before Mrs. Jin put on her glasses.

"You are so pretty, girl!" Mrs. Jin praised her. After admiring her for a while, she asked, "Why have I never seen you attend a banquet in Kyoto?"

Li Huoyue replied according to the Li family's standard answer: "I have been weak since childhood and not suitable for going to places with too many people."

Mrs. Jin laughed twice and waved her hand, apparently not believing what Li Huoyue said.

As expected, Mrs. Jin's next sentence was: "You kid, it's boring to use this excuse to fool an old lady."

Li Huoyue didn't know how to respond, mainly because no one had asked her this question.

She didn't go simply because she felt bored. After participating twice, she never wanted to go to a party with that group of half-grown kids again.

"It's better not to talk about it." Mrs. Jin let go of the topic and asked, "Have you met that boy?"

Li Huoyue: “???????”

Who do you think I am?

Li Huoyue was puzzled, "Who is it?"

Mrs. Jin seemed a little dissatisfied with this answer.

He put away his glasses and his smile, "Who else could it be? Do you really want to call off this marriage? That's a rare good child."

This sentence completely confused Li Huoyue.

How come Sang Fuqing caught Mrs. Jin's eye?

But logically speaking, there was no reason for Mrs. Jin to recognize that the person standing in front of her was Li Huoyue!

Looking down at the guest prop card, Li Huoyue confirmed that he had not gone to the wrong place and had not taken the wrong props.

"Don't look at that broken prop." Mrs. Jin said, dismissing the maid beside her, "Your prop card is invalid to me."

Li Huoyue raised his head suddenly, his heart was filled with turbulent waves, and a chill rushed straight to the top of his head.

Who is this Mrs. Jin? ! ! ! ! !

Li Huoyue wanted to retreat. When she first arrived here, she had already studied the options for escape direction.

Maybe it was because the living room was too quiet, or maybe she saw that Li Huoyue wanted to escape, so she wanted to attract Li Huoyue's attention. She asked Li Huoyue, "Why did you come to see me?"

Li Huoyue's steps to escape slowed down. She bowed again and said, "I would like to ask you to take me to see His Majesty."

When Mrs. Jin heard this request, a strange expression appeared on her face and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to do with His Majesty?"

There was no need to say too much to Mrs. Jin. Li Huoyue opened his mouth and started talking nonsense: "Look at what he looks like. I have never seen him in my life."

Although Mrs. Jin is old, she has only grown old, and her brain is still there.

Mrs. Sang had obviously done her homework. "Oh, is it because of your father?"

Li Huoyue nodded.

Mrs. Jin really knew that the person standing in front of her was Li Huoyue!

And even Li Huoyue’s family members knew about it!

"Is it urgent?" Mrs. Jin asked with a smile.

Li Huoyue was unsure about who this Mrs. Jin was. She seemed to be very close to Li Huoyue, but in fact, there was no reason for them to be close.

It is a somewhat scary thing when a stranger suddenly shows you strong kindness, and his attitude is so good that you doubt whether you have known each other for many years and have a deep friendship.

Because you don’t understand the other person, you don’t know whether the other person is suddenly so nice and wants to exchange something with you.

Li Huoyue did not adopt the attitude that a junior should have, but instead said in a very offensive manner:

"If that was your father, I don't think I would be in a hurry."

Mrs. Jin hadn't met such an interesting child for a long time, and she laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Li Huoyue didn’t know what Mrs. Jin was laughing at. She just wanted to leave.

She asked again: "Can I see His Majesty?"

Mrs. Jin was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. When she heard Li Huoyue's question, she wiped her tears and said, "Another unruly person, just like your mother back then."
