3119 Do Shen Xiyin a Favor
After Shen Xiyin learned that the jade pendant her aunt sent her was covered with evil power, she was worried that she might not be the only who received an evil gift. Her parents and her older brother might be in the same situation. Therefore, she had a video call with her family every day and chatted with them for a long while recently.
For the time being, she couldn’t see anything wrong with them, which made her feel slightly relieved.
…
After Leng Xiaoyao was home for a while, she suddenly remembered that she was going to City Li. Because there was no airport in City Li, she needed to transfer from City Yun.
Shen Xiyin’s family lived in City Yun, so Leng Xiaoyao wanted to ask her whether she wanted to go home. They could investigate the evil jade pendant and whether Shen Xiyin’s aunt knew about it.
Since she was involved in it and was business partners with Shen Xiyin, Shen Xiyin was her close friend. If it was possible, she was willing to help her.
Leng Xiaoyao never hesitated to pay her enemies back, but she was very generous to her friends.
Afterwards, Leng Xiaoyao called Shen Xiyin.
“Xiyin, I’m going to City Li this weekend, but I need to transfer from City Yun. Do you want to go with me? If you go, we can go there one day ahead of time to investigate the jade pendant,” Leng Xiaoyao suggested.
“Sure!” Shen Xiyin agreed without hesitation, because she also had thought of going home with Leng Xiaoyao. She couldn’t be completely relieved until she had gotten to the bottom of the matter.
However, she was afraid that Leng Xiaoyao might not have time. After all, Leng Xiaoyao was a senior high school student and the National College Entrance Examination was around the corner.
Even though she knew Leng Xiaoyao was an excellent student, she didn’t want to make it difficult for her. Therefore, she was still hesitating to talk about that with her.
“Wonderful. We can go there on Friday morning,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
“No problem. Send me your ID number. I’ll book the tickets,” Shen Xiyin said. Even though Leng Xiaoyao was dropping in on her family, she did that in order to help her. Therefore, Shen Xiyin thought she should pay for the tickets.
“No need to rush. My other friends will go with me as well. I need to ask them before booking plane tickets,” Leng Xiaoyao replied. She originally planned to go with Li Mochen and the others, but now her plan changed. As a result, she needed to talk with them first to know whether they wanted to go together or separately. She didn’t know when exactly they would set off yet.
“Great, tell me after you find out,” Shen Xiyin said.
“No problem,” Leng Xiaoyao agreed.
After having the call with Shen Xiyin, Leng Xiaoyao called Li Mochen.
Before long, Li Mochen answered her call.
“What is it?” Li Mochen asked in a cold voice, but showed a hidden gentleness. At least, it was gentle of Li Mochen to talk like that.
Upon hearing Li Mochen’s voice, Leng Xiaoyao smiled slightly, but she didn’t notice it.
“Brother Mochen, have you set the exact time to City Yun yet?” asked Leng Xiaoyao.
“Friday afternoon,” Li Mochen said.
“Will you go to City Li right after arriving at City Yun or the next day?” Leng Xiaoyao asked once more.
Hearing Leng Xiaoyao’s words, Li Mochen understood that Leng Xiaoyao needed to do something. “Both are fine.”
It took two hours by car to get to City Yun from City Li. It wasn’t close, but it wasn’t far either. They could go there on arrival day or the next day.
“Um, I have a friend from City Yun. She’ll go to City Yun with me at that time. I need to do her a favor, so I will go in the morning, then go to City Li the next morning. If we can’t go together, I’ll go there with her first and we can meet at City Li,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She wanted to go with Li Mochen, but Li Mochen wasn’t alone, so they would choose the most convenient way.
“We can go there together on Friday, then go to City Li the next day. Anyway, we are just going to have a look. There is nothing serious to deal with,” Li Mochen said. He was unwilling to take action separately, anyway it was unnecessary. After all, they had unlimited time.
“Great, then we can go there on Friday morning. Do you need me to book the flight tickets, or do you want to do it yourself?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.
“You can tell me after making sure which flight you want to take. I’ll book the tickets,” Li Mochen said. He decided to buy the plane tickets for Leng Xiaoyao.
Even if they weren’t friends yet, he felt it was nothing to book plane tickets for her since they were going to travel together.
“I can book the plane tickets on my own, because one of my friends will go with me,” Leng Xiaoyao explained.
“Sure!” In that case, Li Mochen didn’t insist.
Afterwards, Leng Xiaoyao hung up with Li Mochen and immediately went to look at the fights schedule. She decided to take the flight at 9 am on Friday. The flight lasted two hours so they would arrive at City Yun at 11 am. When they arrived at the city center, it would be time for lunch. After having lunch, Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin could leave to deal with their own things.
After settling the time, Leng Xiaoyao told Shen Xiyin the schedule. Shen Xiyin asked for Leng Xiaoyao’s ID number, then booked the tickets for her.
Leng Xiaoyao rejected it at the beginning, because she was just dropping in on her family. She could buy the plane tickets by herself.
However, whether it was a casual visit or not, Leng Xiaoyao was doing Shen Xiyin a favor, so Shen Xiyin was determined to thank Leng Xiaoyao. Therefore, Shen Xiyin insisted.
In that case, Leng Xiaoyao listened to Shen Xiyin.
“Oh, you better take the jade pendant back and put it on when we go to see your aunt. I need to see her reaction,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
If Shen Xiyin’s aunt knew the jade pendant was evil, she would have an unusual reaction when she saw that Shen Xiyin was still healthy.
If she didn’t know, she wouldn’t pay special attention to the jade pendant.
“But I already gave it to Chenmeng. I can’t take it back,” Shen Xiyin said, feeling it might be difficult.
“No need to worry about that. I can deal with it. I only wanted to tell you beforehand,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Thanks, Xiaoyao.” Shen Xiyin thanked Leng Xiaoyao. She really trusted Leng Xiaoyao.
