"Miss Wei, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edgar Flanders."

He stood up and shook hands with her, then opened the seat beside her in a gentlemanly manner, and looked at the legendary daughter of Wei Tianci by the way.Wei Jingjing looks beautiful and delicate, and there is a little girl's baby fat on her chin, which makes this young girl look much cuter.And those long and narrow eyes were somewhat similar to Wei Siyun's, but not as serious and cold as Wei Siyun's.

"Recently, Wei Tianci didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, but he started to discipline this child strictly and force her to study business." Wei Shenzhi looked at Wei Jingjing who was sitting beside him, and sighed, "Jingjing didn't want to, so she ran to I'm here."

Edgar looked at Wei Jingjing who was sitting aside again.She crossed her legs, propped her right hand on the table, met her gaze, and smiled slightly, obviously not understanding English.Edgar also felt relieved, and looked at Wei Shenzhi with a half-smile: "You really care about my enemy's daughter."

Wei Shenzhi froze for a moment, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "When Mom and Dad passed away, I didn't want to have anything to do with the Wei family, but Jingjing is still young and doesn't understand anything. What's more, her When her mother gave birth to her, she died of dystocia, leaving her alone with Wei Tianci. I don’t want to talk about Wei Tianci’s character, but I can be sure of one thing—he really loves this child.”

Edgar nodded.Wei Jingjing has the demeanor of a young lady, obviously well-educated, his father must have wanted to carefully cultivate her into a lady, just like Mademoiselle Emile Gautier...

"Anyway, I was probably stimulated by me recently. Wei Tianci has begun to force her to learn to manage the family business. Jingjing couldn't take it anymore, so she ran to me. I want to ask you a favor, can you help me watch she?"

"She still uses me to watch?"

"You know, I promised my grandmother to keep her safe. She doesn't want to stay in the Wei family's main house now, she always wants to go out and wander around. There are so many people being trafficked and trafficked these days, and there are so many bad people on the street. She What if something goes wrong?"

"...Shen, you have to understand, I can't speak Chinese very well."

"It doesn't matter, Jingjing can still speak English, as long as you slow down the speed very slowly, she can still understand."

"...Then, you want me to take her out to play? Let me tell you first, I can't walk around on the street in an emergency. If Wei Tianci finds out, he might make a big fuss out of it, and then implement it in his hands." handle."

"If it really doesn't work, you can take her back to grandma." Wei Shenzhi patted his cousin's head, "She hasn't seen grandma for a long time."

…………

The three chatted for a while—to be precise, Edgar and Wei Shenzhi chatted for a while; and Wei Jingjing spent most of the time looking out the window.Wei Shenzhi did not forget to take care of her feelings, and asked her a few words in Chinese from time to time, Wei Jingjing responded with a smile, and there was no trace of impatience on her delicate face, which made Edgar's evaluation of her rise by another level high.You know, children of her age rarely have such a heart.What's more, she was sitting there with a quiet and decent manner, and she was still smiling when she looked at the two men. She was really a very graceful girl.

The sun had already set in the west, Wei Shenzhi was about to go upstairs to work, and left the car with Edgar.

The translator was gone, and the two who didn't understand the language suddenly felt a little cold, but Wei Jingjing didn't seem to care much.She sat in the passenger seat and watched the scenery for a while, then suddenly asked: "Sir, where are you taking me?"

Her pronunciation is a bit awkward, but understandable.Edgar was stunned: "I thought your cousin had already told you."

Wei Jingjing shook her head.

"He said you didn't want to stay with your father, and he was afraid that you would run away and get into trouble, so he asked me to send you to your grandmother."

From the corner of the eye, Wei Jingjing showed a puzzled expression, probably because she didn't understand what he said.Edgar was thinking about how to open her mouth to repeat so as not to hurt her face, but Wei Jingjing suddenly smiled: "Sir, to tell you the truth, English is really not my strong point. Can you speak slower?"

Edgar repeated what he had just said slowly, and then said: "You are a very courageous and respectable girl."

"What's the point of saving face? I don't understand English very well." Wei Jingjing smiled.However, when she mentioned her father, she was a little sad, "Dad has always disliked my cousin, I don't know why...he now wants me to inherit his property, but I don't want to learn to do business..."

Edgar didn't want to discuss Wei Shenzhi and Wei Tianci with her.First of all, he is an outsider himself, and he is not qualified to express his views on an insider of the Wei family; secondly, Edgar really has no affection for the girl's father, and he doesn't want to be with this lovely girl because of this. Girls clash.So he had no choice but to change the topic: "Mr. Wei may be doing it for your own good. After all, he is your parent and cannot protect you for the rest of your life, and you have to grow up."

"But I don't want to follow the path he set. And..."

And she was a little afraid of her father.

In all fairness, Wei Tianci treated her very well; and as the eldest lady of the Wei family, Wei Jingjing was held in the palm of her father's hands since she was a child, and lived a life of opening her mouth for food and reaching for her clothes.When she was young, she heard about her grandmother Wei Siyun's deeds from her uncle, she yearned for her, and determined to be like her grandmother.However, the father who had always loved her hated her idea very much, because this beat her up severely.

A father may want to see a nice girl.So she did.In front of Wei Tianci, she was just a well-behaved little daughter, as innocent and lovely as a doll.In front of outsiders, she is a well-behaved lady of a big company.

"I don't know why, Dad doesn't seem to like grandma very much... Dad also hates my cousin."

Edgar was speechless.And Wei Jingjing's mood is getting lower and lower, this is not a solution.Not to mention that he can't watch a cute girl cry in front of him but remain indifferent. If Wei Shenzhi came to pick her up and found that his cousin looked like she was being bullied, wouldn't he be the first to be punched ?So he changed the topic again and decided not to discuss Wei Tianci: "You like your grandmother very much?"

"Hmm!" Speaking of grandma, the worry on Wei Jingjing's face finally dissipated, and she said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I haven't seen my grandma very much. I have seen her a few times since I can remember. When she grew up, she didn't even come back for the Spring Festival. Dad said she went out for a wandering."

In fact, she only mentioned it a few times, but every time Wei Siyun was mentioned, the expression on Wei Tianci's face would become very cold. The two names Wei Siyun and Wei Shenzhi were his forbidden zone.She didn't want to make Dad angry, so she rarely mentioned it.As a result, the name Wei Siyun was gradually forgotten, as if she had nothing to do with their family.

"Sir, is grandma really back?!" Wei Jingjing stared at him with undisguised anticipation in her bright eyes, "Have you seen her?"

"Well. Ms. Wei is a very dignified woman." Edgar commented very pertinently.

"Ah... is grandma very serious..." Wei Jingjing lowered her head a little uneasy, as dignified as her father...?

"However, you don't have to worry. Ms. Wei is very kind to Shen... You are her granddaughter, so she must be very kind to you."

"Really? That's great! Thank you for telling me this! You are such a good person, my cousin has been entrusted to you to take care of me all this time!"

The happy expression on the girl's face made Edgar's lips curl up.If at the beginning, he still had some hostility towards Wei Tianci's daughter, now he completely understands why Wei Shenzhi is willing to accept this little girl.She is magnanimous, kind, beautiful, and simple, and she is not at all different from her father.Facing such a cute girl, no matter how awkward her English is, she will not make people feel impatient.

Edgar didn't understand how a dark father like Wei Tianci raised such an attractive daughter, but he still reached out and rubbed her head: "Jingjing, we're here."

Wei Jingjing couldn't wait to unfasten her seat belt and got out of the car.Edgar led her around the maze in the forest with her familiarity, and the quaint building from the Republic of China came into view.

However, the green grass turned into brown soil, and the green grass was brutally uprooted and scattered around.The trees near the ancestral house were also crumbling, and many trees had fallen, scattering green leaves all over the place.When I got closer, I found that the ground near the door of the ancestral house was scattered with glass shards from broken windows and sawdust from the window lattice. It seemed that there had been a fierce fight!

Edgar's heart sank.He pulled the shocked Wei Jingjing behind him, walked forward slowly, patted the door frame lightly, and asked tentatively, "Ms. Wei? Are you still there?!"

No one answered.

"Ms. Wei...?! Ms. Wei?! How are you?! Are you okay?!"

Edgar called out several more times before a sigh came from the door.

"I'm fine." The voice was indescribably tired, and seemed to have aged ten years, "But thank you anyway...Hmph, brat, I thought you wouldn't come back."

This was exactly the voice of grandmother Wei Siyun in her vague memory!Wei Jingjing, who was following behind him, was overjoyed, and immediately ran forward and knocked on the door, and exclaimed in surprise, "Grandma?! Is that you?!"

"..." The voice inside the door stopped.After a while, footsteps came from inside the door, and the white-haired celestial master opened the door.She was neatly dressed and looked calm, but her face was paler than before, as if she had experienced some major change.

When Wei Siyun opened the door, he found his little granddaughter.Complicated and helpless expressions flashed in her eyes, and finally turned into a soft sigh. The woman's old hand stroked the top of the girl's head, "Jingjing has grown so big..."

"Ms. Wei, are you... all right?"

Wei Siyun shook his head wearily, took Wei Jingjing's hand, and signaled Edgar to wait for a while.She first talked for a long time with the little granddaughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and then came to Edgar's room when the little girl was about to go to bed.

Edgar was staring at the candles in the house in a daze, when he saw Wei Siyun's exhausted expression.He quickly pulled a chair for the other party, and quietly waited for Wei Siyun to speak.

"Flanders, the previous mistress of the Bathory family, do you know an onmyoji named Jiang Zeyue?"

"Jiang...Zeyue?" Edgar repeated this awkward name, shaking his head without thinking, "She never mentioned it to me. Otherwise, even if I can't remember the name of an oriental person, it must be a bit strange." Impressive."

"I see." Wei Siyun sighed a long time, "Then, can you tell me the truth, where did the jet-black long knife passed down from generation to generation in your Bathory family come from?"
