There was a solemn and embarrassing atmosphere in the air. Wuli was sitting at one side of the dining table, and sitting across from him was the elder brother who didn't know why he had time to come to this country.
"Didn't have dinner?" asked Cui Luan, who was sitting on a haute couture sofa with an old dining chair covered with blue cushions.
Wuli's nervous face was a little stiff, and she recalled the fear when she had just gone to Capital Star in the last life and was asked by her serious brother about her studies. The so-called inferiority complex of a grassroots illegitimate girl suddenly recognized as a wealthy family and found that she knows nothing, she is extremely uneasy.
"Then eat it now." Cui Luan folded his hands in front of him, staring directly at the opposite Wuli.
Bathed in the gaze of the police looking at the bad guy, Wuli felt her stomach twitched a little and couldn't eat any more food, but the majestic light of the elder brother shone everywhere, and she could only obediently ate it in silence. Halfway through the meal, she remembered a question, and forced herself to lift her face from the dinner plate, and asked:
"Brother... have you eaten?"
The sister who met for the first time called the elder brother very respectfully. Cui Luan felt very happy, but his face was still indifferent, "No."
"Would you like to eat together? Although it's simple food." Wuli regretted after saying this. She had seen the exaggerated dining scene in Cui Mansion. The food she made by herself was indeed too simple and difficult. It’s not as good as the food made by Aunt Guo.
"Okay, I will trouble you." But Cui Luan didn't give her time to regret it.
The two brothers and sisters sat down and finished the difficult meal—at least for Wuli.
"You should know the purpose of my coming here."
"Are you going to take me to Capital Star?"
"Yes."
"I'm not going." Wu Li's words were a bit imaginary, much more imaginary than talking to the other three people just now. She was really worried about her terrifying brother with tough wrists, and if she didn't agree, she would pack her back to Capital Star. It feels like this might happen!
But Cui Luan didn't show any dissatisfaction with her words. He just asked seriously: "Why, give me a reason."
Ah, the oppression is so heavy, I feel that if I can't say anything, I will be taught. Wuli grabbed the corner of the table with his hands, hung his head and considered for a while, and found a wonderful reason. She pointed around and said, "I have lived here since I was born. I am not used to going to other places, so I can't bear it here."
Cui Luan: "I understand."
Wuli: ...? What do you understand? Have you let me go so easily?
She saw her brother turn on the communicator, and soon the old butler and two assistants nearby came over. Cui Luan said to the young male assistant: "Prepare to transfer an empty ship and look for professional terrain. Planning and landscaper, I want to move this house back to Capital Star within one kilometer of the surrounding area."
In response to this request, the male assistant did not show any surprise or embarrassment. He just pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly: "Yes, sir."
Cui Luan looked at the old housekeeper again, "There is a flower field near my building, which is to be removed by someone. It will be arranged there when I move over."
The old housekeeper also smiled calmly, "Good Patriarch."
Then the wealthy brother turned his head to look at Wuli and asked, "Are there any questions?"
Wuli: "...My elder brother is saying to move this piece of house and hillside to Capital Star?"
Cui Luan: "Yes."
Wuli seemed to be hit in the face with a heavy fist facing him. The whole person was scared and he unconsciously stuck to the back of the chair. Why is this all possible? ! Is it too capricious?
What should I do, and what reason can I use to refuse? There is a mess in Wuli's mind, she must come up with a reliable reason, otherwise the face in front of her is full of "If you don't give a reason I can agree with, you can't pass the test", she will definitely treat her Take it back forcibly.
Ah-is there anything in this world that this elder brother can't do? She couldn't say that she would be killed because she went to Capital Star.
Wait, there seems to be something that my brother probably can't do? Wuli's gaze swept across a cabinet in the corner unintentionally, and his eyes lit up suddenly.
She took a deep breath, went to the corner to open the cabinet, took out a very ordinary-looking wooden box from it, and then walked back and said to Cui Luan seriously: "Actually, my mother told me one thing before her death. She said that when the wooden box can be opened, I can leave here, otherwise I can't leave."
Mother had never said anything like this. She had only told Wu Li that this was a box that could never be opened. Counting up from their family, generations of people couldn't open it, and they didn't know what was inside. When Wuli was a child, he was very curious about this box that couldn’t be opened. For a while, he held it every day and found a way to open it. Later, he found that as his mother said, he couldn’t open it anyway, so he slowly lost interest and put it aside. Never thought of it.
Although I don't know why this box can't be opened, let's take it out as a reason for the time being. Let's get through the difficulties before you.
Wuli, a rustic and unsophisticated girl who is neither smart nor hasty, can only come up with such a crappy reason.
But the wise elder brother still didn't show any doubts about this crappy and strange reason, just stretched out his hand to her and said, "Let me see."
Wu Li couldn't help showing a triumphant smile. She tried the box but still couldn't open it, so she put the box in front of Cui Luan with confidence.
Cui Luan observed the box and found that no matter how he looked at it, it was an ordinary box, and then he tried it casually.
With a click, the box was opened. Cui Luan, who opened the box all at once, pushed the box back in front of Wuli, without saying anything, but clearly expressed the meaning of "Are there any problems?"
Wuli: "Huh?"
Because he was so surprised, Wuli didn't even look at what was in the box. Instead, he couldn't believe it, closed the box again, and then tried to open it himself. As before, the closed box couldn't be opened no matter what she did. Finally, she relentlessly put the box back in front of Cui Luan.
Click. Cui Luan stretched out a hand and successfully opened the box again. Wuli stared at Cui Luan's hand with both eyes, and her expression clicked when the box opened.
Wuli glanced at his elder brother whose expression had not changed at all, sniffed and finally calmed down. She moved the box in front of her to see what was inside.
There is only one letter in it.
Wuli picked it up and opened it, and found that the words on it were witch words. She had learned from her mother when she was a child, but she didn't learn it well, so she couldn't understand most of the contents of this letter, only a few words— -'Four Hundred Years' Contracts' Cui Family's East's'Western Witches'.
There is also a pattern on the letter, which is a flower branch of thorns wound in a circle. Wuli has seen this pattern. She has a necklace her mother gave before her death. This pattern is in the necklace. In addition to this, there are two red fingerprints.
"You go out first." Cui Luan suddenly told the old butler and
