Yan Zhiqing thought about this as well and that was why she didn’t ask Hu Kaiyin to stay.
Hu Kaiyin, feeling relaxed, yawned and said to Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai, “I will go back to the hotel to take a nap. You can pick me up at noon.”
“Your command has been accepted!” Hao Donghuai responded like a true bootlicker.
Yan Zhiqing watched as Hu Kaiyin made her way out.
After a while, Shi Xiaoya followed Yan Zhiqing into the room.
“Zhiqing, are you alright?” Shi Xiaoya let out a sigh of relief.
Wei Wucai told her to stay outside earlier. She didn’t dare to come in recklessly without hearing from Wei Wucai.
She was worried that she might cause more trouble.
After all, she couldn’t allow herself to make the situation messier when it was a fight at that level.
However, she waited for a long time, but it was really quiet inside and nothing seemed abnormal.
After a while, she saw Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai walking on the left and right sides of an unfamiliar but very beautiful woman.
Shi Xiaoya had a few ideas about what had happened.
And then, Yuan Jiangyi came back and told her that everything was fine and led her into the room.
“I am alright. I am sorry. You must have been so scared, right?” Yan Zhiqing said.
Shi Xiaoya shook her head and said, “I was scared that something bad may have happened to you. it’s good you are fine.”
Shi Xiaoya whispered as she asked, “The one who just went out was…”
Yan Zhiqing smiled and said, “It was a misunderstanding. She knew we had misunderstood her, so she intentionally came to scare Xiao Cai. Actually, she’s a very nice older sis.”
Shi Xiaoya had never interacted with Hu Kaiyin before, so she couldn’t really judge.
When she heard what Yan Zhiqing said, Shi Xiaoya nodded, expressing that she understood.
Yan Zhiqing gave a brief explanation of the situation to Shi Xiaoya.
Shi Xiaoya then felt completely relieved.
Seeing that Yuan Jiangyi was present while Hao Donghuai was gone…
Yan Zhiqing then asked, “Where is Hao Donghuai? I thought he went out with you?”
“He’s sending Kaiyin off,” Yuan Jiangyi said.
Because Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai had misunderstood Hu Kaiyin, they both felt really guilty.
Currently, the two were diligently taking turns serving Hu Kaiyin.
The two even discussed it outside. They decided that Hao Donghuai would be the one to send Hu Kaiyin off.
While the two were fighting to send Hu Kaiyin off, Hu Kaiyin felt as though she was some celebrity.
She was so annoyed that she wanted to knife them.
Hu Kaiyin went back to the hotel and rested until noon. Then, she came back on set.
Because of restrictions, they couldn’t eat at a restaurant.
However, Wei Wucai had called the restaurant to deliver food earlier.
They ordered hotpot and stir-fry veggies.
There were a few pots placed on the long table.
This made it convenient for everyone on set to eat together.
They ordered different types of dishes and veggies to make things easier for everyone.
If not, it would really difficult for everyone to take food from the dishes placed on the long table since there would be a lot of people.
Wei Wucai and his friends naturally did not eat with the members of the film crew. After all, they had a lot of things to talk about.
If there were too many people, it would be difficult to engage in conversations.
There were so many people from the Mount Lan Compound, so it was impossible to fit everyone in Yan Zhiqing’s camper van.
As such, they especially reserved the meeting room.
Because it was winter, they couldn’t dine outdoors.
So, they gave the largest room for the staff members.
This meeting room was big enough.
“Hotpot is the coziest meal to have during winter,” Yan Zhiqing said as she rubbed her hands.
Because this was a film studio temporarily constructed by the film crew, there wasn’t a good heating system installed.
Most of the celebrities would bring their electric heaters.
However, those electric heaters wouldn’t work well because the studio was very big.
The heat would disperse and disappear immediately.
At this moment, Yan Zhiqing was so cold that she wrapped the coat tightly around herself.
She had a heating pad stuck inside her coat. Even so, she felt so cold that she kept rubbing her hands.
Thankfully, the hotpot was being cooked.
Although the hotpot had yet to boil, it was releasing heat that was spreading upward.
If you leaned closer to the pot, you would feel warm.
“Hai. I haven’t eaten properly like this for a long time,” Hu Kaiyin commented emotionally as she watched the hotpot.
Hu Kaiyin sat opposite Yan Zhiqing.
Yan Zhiqing winked at Hu Kaiyin and said, “Elder Sister Kaiyin, sit down now and eat slowly. Tell me what’s going on with that surnamed Xie?”
Wei Wucai thought about it and immediately connected the dots. “Surnamed Xie? Could it be the family of Xie Jiling?”
Hu Kaiyin felt speechless.
“I was going to ask about that. When I went back to Mount Lan Compound, I didn’t find Xie Jiling. I wanted to ask her about it. Didn’t she say that she was the one in the Xie Family that traveled the world? Why is there another one with the surname Xie?” Hu Kaiyin said.
“Xie Jiling?” Yan Zhiqing and Shi Xiaoya had no idea.
Back then, Han Zhuoli asked Xie Jiling to save Lu Man, and he kept that a secret as well.
He didn’t want everyone to know that Lu Man had reincarnated back to her past self.
That did sound very scary.
Han Zhuoli was worried that the others, even if they were Lu Man’s family, might find it unacceptable if they were to discover it.
They would see Lu Man differently and think of her as something strange.
So, only Han Zhuoli and Lu Man knew about it.
Not even Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling knew about it.
So, they were even more unfamiliar with the matter concerning Xie Jiling.
Wei Wucai then explained, “There are many things in this world that science cannot explain. Although they are still events within the field of science, they are not things that the current scientific knowledge can explain. In fact, some of those things cannot be explained by science.”
“Things like geomancy and occultism cannot be explained. That is what the Xie Family does for a living. The knowledge that their family possess has been passed down from generation to generation for a thousand years. Each generation has a representative who travelled the world and secretly solves issues that cannot be solved right now.”
“However, only one representative exists every generation.” Wei Wucai said, “Are you sure that surnamed Xie individual is part of the Xie Family?”
“I am sure. He has the mark of the Xie Family.” Hu Kaiyin answered.
“If there is more than one surnamed Xie and that many surnamed Xie individuals are appearing, this means that something horrible is about to happen,” Wei Wucai said, “This has happened before in the past. The Xie Family had once dispatched a few of their members to different places. However, the last time this happened was a hundred years ago.”
At this moment, Wei Wucai’s phone started ringing.
Wei Wucai looked and said, “What a coincidence. Xie Jiling might have found out that you were looking for her. Xie Jiling is calling me now.”
Wei Wucai answered the phone and heard Xie Jiling say, “Do you have Hu Kaiyin’s contact information? I don’t have any way to contact the Hidden Light. Or you can help me pass the message as well.”
“What a coincidence. She is here with me right now.” Wei Wucai said, “I will hand the phone to her. You can talk to her.”
“Alright.” Xie Jiling answered.
Wei Wucai then passed the phone to Hu Kaiyin while explaining, “She couldn’t contact the Hidden Light so she contacted me. You can talk to her yourself.”
Hu Kaiyin took the phone and immediately said to Xie Jiling, “Hello, this is Hu Kaiyin.”
“Hello, Elder Sister Kaiyin,” Xie Jiling replied in a very respectful manner.
