Chapter 656: Who Changed the Longevity Lock?
anchuan smiled and diffused the tension, getting up to place a piece of lotus leaf chicken on Mu Xi Yin's plate while giving Li Bochen a knowing glance.If he had known better, he wouldn't have come to...Enough!
Luo Ningxi didn't want to mention what happened that night.
He wouldn't want to think that it was probably her who bumped into Jane.
Whatever, even if he's drunk and mistook someone for another person, didn't he still touch Jian Ningyi And did he even get her pregnant
Her almond-shaped eyes flushed slightly, and she pushed the man in front of her away.
"Li Bochen, you don't have to put on a show here. Now let me go back. You've been busy for so long, there's a good show to watch, isn't there Rest assured, I won't disappoint the Fourth Young Master!"
She avoided his gaze, turning and hurrying downstairs, leaving Li Bochen alone standing there. His sharp, cold eyes held a hint of confusion.
……
On the other side, Jian Ningyi watched the two figures leave, and her abdomen ached with anger!
She had a strong reaction to this pregnancy. After just over a month, she often felt dizzy and nauseous, ran to the toilet and vomited for a while, which made her feel less miserable.
"Second Madam, are you feeling unwell The old master has finished taking his medicine and is about to come downstairs for dinner. Second Young Master asked me to inquire when you will be coming down"
The maid held the long-life lock jewelry box at the door for a long time, waiting for Jian Ningyi but no one came. She cautiously inquired.
Finally, the bathroom door was opened.
Jian Ningyi's face was pale and she stared at the maid weakly, "I'm not feeling well, I probably ate something bad. Don't tell the second young master and the others, don't let them worry for nothing!"
"Yes, I understand." The maid respectfully nodded, then handed the lacquered box in her hand to Jane Ningyi.
Jian Ningyi just finished vomiting, her whole body weak, she took the jade box and her hand trembled...
Then there was a sharp crack.
The lacquer box fell to the ground with a thud, and along with it, the delicately crafted longevity lock inside was flung out violently!
Jian Ningyi was startled. Just as she was about to bend down and pick it up, a nearby maid suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, scrambling to pick up the long life lock!
"I'm so sorry, Second Madam! I didn't mean to! I really didn't mean to... it's fine, it's fine..."
Janning's gaze landed on the unharmed Longevity Lock picked up by the maid, her pupils contracting abruptly!
How is this possible…
Isn't it true that you already replaced the padlock with a broken bell chain Given how hard it just hit the ground, there's no way it could still be in perfect condition!
And when she replaced it, she repeatedly confirmed it, just waiting to humiliate Luo Ningxi in front of everyone later.
And the only one who had a chance to come into contact with this lock seemed to be...Li Bochen!
Jian Ningyi's fingertips trembled as she took the lock from the maid's hand. Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with a fierce intensity!
Could it be that Li Bochen is helping Luo Ningxi
He just came over, to change the locks
That despicable wretch, Lu Ningxi, what right does he have!
Why would Li Bochen go to so much trouble to help her Did she deserve it! Clearly, she and he were childhood sweethearts! That vixen was just an outsider!
The maid was utterly terrified, trembling uncontrollably and at a loss for words, "Madam Second Wife, I..."
Jian Ningyi clenched her fists, suppressing the anger surging in her chest. She glared fiercely at the maid. "It's all your fault! There are scratches on this longevity lock, how am I supposed to explain it to my grandfather and put it on Lele!"
"I was wrong, Second Madam, I really didn't mean to..." The maid cried tears streaming down her face, clutching Jian Ningyi's trousers and pleading, "Second Madam, please don't tell the old master, I can't lose this job..."
Jian Ningyi kicked her away with one foot, “Forget it, don’t tell anyone about this, go clean the lock and try not to leave any trace.”
After she finished speaking, she took the lock and went back into the room.
Li Bochen, aren't you trying to help Luo Ningxi It's a good thing I found out the clues in advance because of an accident. Now, how are you going to help her!
……
Meanwhile, at the restaurant.
Everyone has taken their seats, only Old Master Li and Jian Ningyi are yet to come down.
Li Bichen's brow furrowed with a hint of seriousness. Jian Ningyi had been gone for such a long time, could it be that she had discovered something
He instinctively looked at Luo Ningxi beside him, wanting her to leave first, but then he remembered how arrogant she had been just now! His eyes turned cold again!
But Loning Xi didn't feel the chill around her at all, she surveyed the people at the table.
Where is Mu Xi Yin
Could it be that the last runway show really affected her She didn't even attend the Li family dinner!
Or should Jian Ning prefer to eat Mu Xi Yin's vinegar
Lu Ningxi was deep in thought when she saw Jian Nini carefully helping Old Master Li down the stairs, holding a brocade box containing the longevity lock.
Yu Lan hurried to meet him, smiling and saying, “Dad, slow down, everyone is waiting. Even Lao Si has come back, we're just waiting for you to have dinner.”er but ended up injuring her leg saving the old gentleman. What if she develops aftereffects"It's not just the old man who is in trouble now, Yu Lan must bite down and insist that this accident is ine...
