A man and a woman at the door followed him in, closed the sliding door, and stood behind the prince, bowing their heads slightly and saying nothing.
Across the coffee table, the prince stood opposite the sofa, reached into his arms and took out a dark yellow rough-edged sheepskin scroll, opened it, bent down and placed it on the coffee table, and touched the signature place with his finger.
Qiao Yun picked up the scroll and looked at the contents. It was written in a very ancient way and the handwriting was dark red. The so-called covenant seemed to stipulate the responsibilities of both parties in the form of an ancient curse. It could also be said to be a poisonous oath.
Lin Zixian reminded at the side: "This is a blood contract, it requires a blood signature." He took out a cow-hair needle from his waist, took out a lighter and burned the needle for disinfection. It seemed to be used to prick his fingertips.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun stretched out her hand to block Lin Zixian's hand, signaling that she was not in a hurry. She put the sheepskin scroll back on the coffee table, crossed her legs, and looked coldly at the prince with the brim of his hat hanging low. He turned cold and looked at the prince with an aggressive look.
Lin Zixian, who was holding the cow-hair needle, was startled. He thought he could get Qiao Yun to agree happily.
The prince was also startled and raised the brim of his hat slightly to look at Lin Zixian.
"It's not impossible to let me sign the contract, but you must show the minimum sincerity and take off your hat!" Qiao Yun's tone was devoid of any emotion, almost a direct order.
Lin Zixian was speechless. He finally discovered the uncontrollable side of this woman. Although she gave him face, she still had her own stand on serious matters.
It was the first time that the prince had a face-to-face interaction with Qiao Yun, and he finally discovered that although this woman looked like the queen bee, she had completely different personalities from the queen bee.
He hesitated for a while. The prince slowly took off the hat, and Lushan's true face was revealed to Qiao Yun. He was tall and had nothing special about his appearance.
Qiao Yun stared at him sharply and asked: "If I violate the covenant one day, what are you going to do?"
She doesn't believe in curses. This kind of 'contract' is full of flaws in her eyes, and the other party is obviously at a disadvantage. If she breaks the contract when she is prepared, the other party will not be able to openly oppose her because of her identity. Seems like a bit too much of an advantage. She doesn't really believe in pie-in-the-sky things either.
The prince's face darkened slightly. "Then we will always pester you and become your eternal nightmare. We can survive to this day, so don't underestimate our ability to retaliate. What's more, don't forget one thing. The overseas foundation of the Minghua Consortium belongs to us. Help you support yourself. You will never figure out who is ours. Unless you replace all overseas employees and managers. I think so many people can't be replaced just by saying, maybe you can replace them. There are also our people among the newcomers, so once we retaliate, you will be in trouble. Of course, if you abide by the covenant, our people are also the dark guardians of Minghua and can help you pay attention to other people with all their heart."
Qiao Yun's eyes flickered slightly. She just wanted to force the other party to reveal the means that could threaten her. Only when she knew what kind of threat the other party could bring to her could she be prepared. If the other party didn't have any means to threaten her, she wouldn't believe in such a good thing.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't intend to abide by the covenant, but she doesn't want to put herself in unknown dangers. At least she has to have the means to prevent the other party from betraying her. If the cooperation is not pleasant, she doesn't mind taking action first to nip the danger in the bud. In this situation, the other party has already invested money in famous flowers, and it is impossible for her to hand it over.
For Qiao Yun, she can trust Lin Zixian, but she will not trust outsiders easily. The difference between her and Lin Zixian is that she can be sentimental towards Lin Zixian, but she will not be sentimental towards everyone like Lin Zixian. She also knows this shortcoming of Lin Zixian, so she must keep a close eye on it. She cannot take over such a big company. Make a mess.
To be honest, in some respects, the prince and Lin Zixian combined are no match for Qiao Yun, and neither of them could guess what Qiao Yun was thinking.
With some idea in her mind, Qiao Yun stretched out her index finger in front of Lin Zixian.
Lin Zixian coughed dryly, and quickly moved the ox-hair needle in his hand, pricking Qiao Yun's fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood emerged.
" Lin Daguan's technique was good and Qiao Yun didn't feel any pain, just like a mosquito bite.
Qiao Yun tilted her head and glanced coldly at Lin Zixian. She felt that it was a bit absurd for Lin Zixian to do such a thing. At the same time, she felt that the prince was also absurd. How could this old-fashioned contract method be binding?
However, after squeezing the blood on her fingertips, Qiao Yun still signed her name on the parchment, and then put her finger to Lin Zixian's mouth, gesturing for him to clean it up for her.
Lin Zixian coughed twice at the prince. The prince rolled up the sheepskin scroll on the coffee table and put it away with one hand on his abdomen.? He bowed to Qiao Yun, turned around and left with his men.
As soon as she walked to the door, Qiao Yun said again: "Your Highness, I am not used to playing mysterious. I hope I can contact you directly if anything happens in the future."
"Understood, I will tell you the contact information tomorrow." The prince responded immediately and disappeared into the night outside.
With no one around, Lin Zixian took Qiao Yun's bloody finger into his mouth and sucked it. The iceberg on Qiao Yun's face melted immediately, and there was love in her eyes
Two months later, at the family dinner held by Charles in the United States, Jesse was clearly sitting on the long dining table. The family was chatting while eating. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and only everyone knew what they were thinking.
At least Jesse knew in her heart that what happened last time caused many people here to obstruct her and almost prevented her from regaining her rights. However, she was not knocked down so easily, otherwise she would not have been able to climb to this position. .
Recently, she has focused on consolidating her rights and often comes to communicate with her grandfather Charles. As for Lin Zixian, she was still filled with hatred, but she would no longer act recklessly and was ready to seek revenge when she found an opportunity.
Halfway through the meal, Jesse suddenly put down his knife and fork, hurriedly covered his mouth and retched, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Jesse, are you feeling unwell?" Charles, who was sitting in the front seat, asked.
Jesse caressed his chest and said with a ladylike smile: "Maybe it's because I've been too busy recently. I didn't get enough rest."
However, there are many people here who are eager for her to have a physical problem so that she can step down and give way to someone else. Maybe there is really a physical problem? Even if it was a rare opportunity, she could not miss it. Her cousin immediately said: "Let's see a doctor."
Jesse responded with a gentle smile and thanked him: "No, my body has always been very good, at least better than yours, vomit" Before he could finish his words, there was another burst of retching.
Her other cousin immediately turned back to the servant behind him and said, "Call the doctor."
The doctor in this kind of family is always on call, waiting until the doctor comes. Charles also expressed concern: "Jesse. Let the doctor take a look."
Jesse could only thank his grandfather for his kindness, wiped his mouth with a smile, left the table and sat on the sofa nearby to be examined by the doctor.
She has always been in good health and has a physical examination every six months. She didn't think there could be anything wrong with her body. I guess it's really because I was tired from trying to stabilize my rights during this period.
However, news that shocked everyone soon appeared. The doctor asked about her adverse reactions, combined with some simple examinations, and made a judgment based on experience. "Miss Jesse, congratulations, you should be pregnant."
Everyone looked back. Jesse's eyes widened. After noticing everyone's reactions, he immediately smiled and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Her mother left the meeting with a face of surprise and ran over, pulling the doctor to confirm again.
This family has no shortage of advanced medical equipment. In order to confirm that it was correct, Jesse¡¯s family just pushed her to the clinic for detailed examination.
The results proved that the doctor¡¯s level was superb and his judgment was correct.
The group of people looked at each other in confusion, looking at Jesse as if she were a monster. They had never heard that she had a boyfriend. How could she be pregnant?
Jesse was completely confused. He knew exactly what was going on. Jueyun¡¯s hard-working old face appeared in his mind, and he felt a little shuddering.
Being used to being a ¡®female man¡¯, I seem to have forgotten the importance of contraception.
Her mother was so happy that she asked her who her boyfriend was and asked her to bring him to her as soon as possible.
Because there is no airtight wall in this world, there is always some vague news that one's daughter is gay. Now that her daughter is pregnant, who can say that one's daughter is gay.
Whether it was true or false, the family all expressed their congratulations, and even Charles asked Jesse to bring his boyfriend to see him as soon as possible.
Faced with the congratulations from her family, Jesse almost collapsed. She vaguely said that she was very busy now and it was not the time to have a child.
Although abortion is not allowed in many places in the United States, the law is obviously not binding on people like them.
This kind of statement made Charles very unhappy. Firstly, it was related to traditional concepts. Secondly, as the head of a large family, he regarded protecting children as his own responsibility. He felt that he had an obligation to ensure that every child in the family was born smoothly. No one has the right to kill the new life of this family, not even the President of the United States.
As for who the child's father is, he doesn't care very much. As long as the agreement is signed, outsiders cannot take away the family's property, even if Jesse doesn'tIt doesn't matter if you get married, but you can't take away the children.
For this reason, Charles warned Jesse, asking her not to be an irresponsible person and to learn to cherish every life of the family. It will be a terrible thing for someone who despises the life of the family to take on a heavy responsibility.
His concerns are not unreasonable. If Jesse can easily kill his own children, it will be a terrible disaster for the family once Jesse takes power in the future.
Jesse understands her grandfather¡¯s intentions and concerns. It can be said that she is in trouble. She is ready to die. She is very torn whether to remove the child from her belly or to be a ¡®responsible¡¯ person.
In the end, power defeated everything. A few days later, she brought home a yellow-skinned man from nowhere. The fact that he was not a white man surprised the family. Only then did the family realize that Jesse was so good at talking
Early in the morning, Lin Zixian, who was hugging Qiao Yun, slowly stretched out his hand to take Qiao Yun's pulse, and injected an inner force into Qiao Yun's body to check. He has been doing this almost every day recently.
Suddenly, Lin Zixian's fingers trembled violently, waking Qiao Yun up.
Qiao Yun opened her eyes and found that his expression was not normal, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to send the crazy monk back to Emei." Lin Zixian said while looking at the ceiling.
Qiao Yun did not doubt that he was there, she put her head on his arm, stroked his chest, and asked: "He is such a big man, do you still need to send him back in person?"
"It's not like you don't know that he is playful. If I don't escort him back, if he runs away, I won't be able to explain to Master Juekong." Lin Zixian said dullly.
Thinking about Jueyun¡¯s character, Qiao Yun thought about it too.
Afterwards, the two of them got up and had breakfast, and called Jueyun over to talk, which confirmed Lin Zixian¡¯s guess.
When he heard that he was being sent back, Jueyun's eyes widened immediately, he threw away his hands and walked away, cursing: "Just say so if you find me annoying, I won't bother you, I'll go find Peach Blossom Eyes to play with."
This old guy is really happy and carefree. He is still not tired of playing in the colorful world outside, and he really doesn¡¯t want to go back and guard the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.
Lin Zixian looked at his back and sneered: "Okay, you go your way, I'll go mine, I'll go to Emei and explain to Master Juekong, at least let Master Juekong know, it's not me who won't let you go back, it's you." Don¡¯t want to go back.¡±
Jueyun's figure froze as he walked out of the door, and his two majestic shoulders immediately slumped. He turned around and said with a sad face: "Boss Lin, I have no grudge against you, right? Can't I just go back? I'm tired of playing and go back by myself. , can you please go ahead without bothering me?"
A smile appeared on Qiao Yun's lips. She also thought that there were such people among monks. They were simply weird among monks. If she had known she could continue to be a bandit, why would she have to become a monk Spending time with Lin Zi for a long time, she also I heard that Jueyun went to Emei to be a monk in his early years. However, he failed and became a monk in Emei instead.
The result can be imagined. Jueyun took the phone and contacted Xiao Dao. He was wailing there for a while, "Peach blossom eyes, Xiao Linzi is not interesting enough!"
Xiao Dao said cheerfully on the other side: "Crazy monk, Brother Xian must have his own arrangements for doing this. Just go back with him. It's okay. I'll go to Emei to play with you another day."
Jueyungui shouted: "Peach Blossom Eyes, you can't keep your word!"
Lin Zixian on the side had already packed a bag, and he and Qiao Yun hugged each other tightly, whispering, "I'm leaving, you must take good care of yourself."
"Yeah!" Qiao Yun nodded, enjoying the feeling that he took her seriously.
After holding Qiao Yun¡¯s face and kissing her affectionately for a long time, Lin Zixian resolutely picked up his bag and turned around without looking back. After getting into the car with Jue Yun, he quickly drove away
In this era, transportation was developed. That night, after fasting and bathing, Lin Zixian sat in an ancient temple deep in the mountains of Mount Emei.
Under the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, Lin Zixian sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Master Juekong. He listened with a dull expression to Jueyun telling his senior brother about how hard it was to be outside, but Lin Zixian did not expose it.
Jueyun has already changed back into that cassock, probably because he hasn¡¯t worn it for a long time. This old guy keeps turning his head and shaking his shoulders, tugging at the cassock, and seems to feel uncomfortable all over.
As for the credibility of his junior brother's words, Master Juekong remained noncommittal and kept observing Lin Zixian's reaction with a pair of discerning eyes. (To be continued)
