Su Chen didn't expect that the Mu family would be in such a situation, so he temporarily gave up the idea of meeting Mr. Mu.
An Xinghe sent him directly back to the Gu family's residence.
As soon as Su Chen got out of the car, Gu Qingshi, An Xiaoyun and Dugu Yueying quickly gathered around him.
"Su Chen, how's it going?"
"Can Yao Yuxi's disease be cured?"
"Do you need my help?"
The three women each said one sentence, leaving Su Chen with no time to reply.
An Xinghe felt a little sour in his heart when he saw that his daughter only had eyes for Su Chen, and that he, as a father, had been so completely ignored.
"cough!"
He covered his mouth and coughed heavily. Only then did An Xiaoyun notice that her father was still sitting in the car next to him.
She looked at her father, and under Anxing and expectant gazes, she waved her hand nonchalantly: "Dad, you go back first!"
Hearing this, Anxinghe felt even more congested.
That's it?
The father and daughter haven't seen each other for so long, and the first thing his daughter said when they met was to let him go. Is this appropriate?
"You have nothing else to say to me?"
An Xinghe's face darkened, and he was obviously unhappy.
Seeing her father's inexplicable black face again, An Xiaoyun frowned unhappily.
"What else can I say? I'm having a good time here."
After she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, and then she tightened her face, squinted her eyes and said warily: "You don't want to drag me on a blind date with those losers again, do you?"
An Xinghe was startled by this question. He was silent for a while and then sighed: "Don't speak so harshly. If these words are heard by others, you will cause trouble for the An family!"
"Yes, yes, I know, I know!"
After giving her father a few perfunctory words in dissatisfaction, An Xiaoyun snorted, shrank to Su Chen's side and muttered in a low voice: "It's good for me to stay here, I don't want to go back at all."
"I'm worried that I'll cause trouble for the An family, and I want me to say a few more words. The requirements are so high..."
Seeing her complaining so smoothly, Su Chen, Lu Qingshi and Dugu Yueying couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The three of them were too embarrassed to look at An Xinghe.
An Xinghe was even more helpless.
"I didn't mean that..."
"Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean that!"
He had just finished speaking when he was angrily interrupted by An Xiaoyun.
Perhaps because she didn't want to talk to her father anymore, after interrupting the conversation, An Xiaoyun turned around and went back to the house.
Su Chen finally understood it now.
Neither father nor daughter are very good at talking when facing each other.
A random word may be the last thing the other person wants to hear, so it’s no wonder it’s so difficult to get along with them.
"Uncle An, please go back first, we will take good care of Xiaoyun."
Seeing An Xinghe's ugly face, Lu Qingshi quickly smoothed things over and said something to ease the atmosphere.
Knowing that it was useless to stay here, An Xinghe shook his head helplessly, nodded to Su Chen and asked the driver to drive away with him.
"Are they like this all year round?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked incoherently.
Gu Qingshi knew that he was asking about the relationship between An Xinghe and An Xiaoyun, so she nodded helplessly: "Yes, it happens often."
"Ever since Uncle An sent Xiaoyun to the northern camp, the relationship between father and daughter has deteriorated."
"That's it..."
Su Chen nodded, finally understanding the reason.
There is nothing we can do about this situation except to wait for the father and daughter to figure it out on their own.
After this incident was over, Lu Qingshi asked about Yao Yuxi again.
Not only were they concerned, but Gu Nantian was also concerned about this matter.
After learning that Su Chen could cure Yao Yuxi, Gu Qingshi was obviously much happier and immediately called her father Gu Nantian about the news.
Dugu Yueying fell into silence after hearing this, and even had a particularly solemn expression on her face.
Noticing her strangeness, Su Chen patted her shoulder with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Um……"
Biting her lip in confusion, Dugu Yueying looked at Su Chen with trembling eyes, a little uneasy: "Su Chen, actually... I actually have a Nine-Turn Jade Lotus in my house."
"What?"
Su Chen was startled, then frowned and said, "Are you worried that the nine-turn jade lotus that harmed Yao Yuxi is related to the nine-turn jade lotus in your home?"
"Um."
With a slight tap of her head, Dugu Yueying wrapped her fingers in self-reproach and explained: "Although the Nine Turns Jade Lotus is not as cherished as Bai Ling Blood Ginseng, it is also a very difficult medicinal material to find."
"A total of five Nine-turn Jade Lotuses were discovered in the Western Region. In order to prevent anyone from using the Nine-turn Jade Lotus to harm others, my father received all the Nine-turn Jade Lotuses and sealed them. So I think that what appeared on Yao Yuxi's body was Is the Nine-turn Jade Lotus related to our Nine-turn Jade Lotus?"
After hearing her explanation, Su Chen pinched her soft and delicate cheeks dumbfounded.
"You think too much. Even though your father collected those five Nine-turn Jade Lotus, who knows if there will be a sixth one in the world?"
"Although this is the case, I'm still a little worried..."
Dugu Yueying shook her head, and then quickly took out her mobile phone: "I'll call my dad and ask!"
"All right."
Seeing that she was so concerned about this matter, Su Chen simply accompanied her on the phone call.
The phone was quickly connected, and Dugu Changkong's smiling inquiry came out.
"Why did you suddenly remember to call dad? Is Beijing fun?"
"Well, not bad."
Dugu Yueying answered simply, and then quickly got to the point.
"Dad, are the five nine-turn jade lotuses that you sealed back then still intact?"
After Dugu Yueying asked this question, Dugu Changkong suddenly fell silent on the other end of the phone.
Dugu Yueying's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and her heart felt inexplicably.
Su Chen also looked at the phone in surprise.
Generally speaking, silence means there is a problem.
"Yueying, why do you ask this suddenly?"
Dugu Changkong did not answer immediately, but asked again.
Dugu Yueying looked at Su Chen with tears in her eyes, feeling a little panicked in her heart.
Seeing her uneasiness, Su Chen directly took the phone and started talking to Dugu Changkong in person.
After learning that Su Chen had found traces of the Nine-Turn Jade Lotus on a young lady in the capital, Dugu Changkong remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed with regret in his voice.
"Something happened after all..."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on?"
Sighing again, Dugu Changkong told the problem.
"One of the five nine-turn jade lotuses sealed up by the Dugu family was suddenly stolen a few years ago..."
"What?"
Su Chen was startled and checked the time it was stolen. He couldn't be sure of it even for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the Nine-turn Jade Lotus on Yao Yuxi's body is actually related to the Nine-turn Jade Lotus of the Dugu family!
