Chapter 48 Setting the Banquet Time

Next to Mu Xiwan, she keenly noticed the changes in Mu Jinghan. She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself: This kid is not bad!

Seeing that there was still hope for this brat, she decided to help him again. So Mu Xiwan looked at Mu Jinghan and said seriously:

“I noticed since this morning that you would encounter all sorts of misfortunes today, and now I see that the area between your eyebrows has darkened a bit more. I suspect you will face even more serious troubles. I have an amulet here, would you like to buy one?”

Mu Xiwan took out a folded amulet and waved it in front of Mu Jinghan.

Before Mu Jinghan could speak, he heard Chu Yunxi’s voice next to him:

“Sister Xiwan, after all, Jinghan is our younger brother. If he is in danger, shouldn’t we help him? Why ask for money!”

Chu Yunxi looked at Mu Xiwan with some reproach in her eyes, full of questioning and dissatisfaction.

After hearing Chu Yunxi’s words, Mu Xiwan thought of retracting her hand holding the amulet, but before she could, Mu Jinghan stopped her.

“Sis, sis, I want it!” Mu Jinghan said eagerly, his eyes full of determination.

He quickly took out his phone to transfer money to Mu Xiwan. Not knowing the price of the amulet, he asked:

“Sis, how much? I’ll transfer it to you!”

Seeing Mu Jinghan’s significant change, Mu Xiwan felt it was not right to take so much money from him. So she truthfully said:

“A thousand will do!”

“So cheap?” Afraid that Mu Xiwan might change her mind, Mu Jinghan quickly transferred the money to her.

After handing the amulet to Mu Jinghan, Mu Xiwan turned to Ji Yuanxi and asked:

“Auntie, do you and Mu Jinghan stay at home every day?”

Mu Xiwan had just returned for two days, so she wasn’t very clear about the daily habits of everyone at home, hence the question.

“Yes, Xiwan, as long as I’m not on the night shift, I go back to the old house. Jinghan doesn’t stay at the school, he always comes home!” replied Ji Yuanxi.

Upon hearing Ji Yuanxi’s words, Mu Xiwan nodded, then handed another amulet to Ji Yuanxi. At this moment, Mu Hongye frowned, looking worried, and asked with some concern:

“Xiwan, why are you giving an amulet to Auntie? Is she also in danger?”

Mu Jinghan, also worried, looked at Mu Xiwan:

“Sis, if both my mom and I are in danger, is there something wrong with our family’s Feng Shui or something else, causing all these misfortunes?”

“You silly boy, if there’s something wrong with the Feng Shui at home, wouldn’t everyone in the family be unlucky? How could it be just you and your mom!” Mu Hongye said, giving Mu Jinghan a slap.

At this moment, Ji Yuanxi ignored the interaction between Mu Hongye and his son. She looked at Mu Xiwan with some concern and asked:

“Xiwan, is Jingyi also in some trouble?”

After hearing Ji Yuanxi’s question, Mu Xiwan retracted her gaze. She looked at Ji Yuanxi, nodded at first, but fearing Ji Yuanxi’s worry, she quickly added:

“Auntie, compared to you and Jinghan, he is much better. I guess he’s doing much better because he hasn’t been home often recently and hasn’t interacted with you much!”

Upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, Ji Yuanxi felt a bit relieved, but for safety’s sake, she still asked:

“Xiwan, does Jingyi need an amulet too?”

Before Mu Xiwan could respond, Mu Jingyi spoke up:

“Mom, why do you believe in this too? I have no issues at all, I don’t need any amulet!”

Upon hearing Mu Jingyi’s words, Mu Xiwan also said to Ji Yuanxi:

“He might just encounter some unfortunate events, nothing serious!”

After hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, Ji Yuanxi, seeing Jingyi’s firm refusal to take an amulet, nodded. This child is so stubborn, let him learn his lesson!

Thinking this, Ji Yuanxi asked with some concern:

“Xiwan, can you see why we are facing such difficulties?”

After hearing her aunt’s words, Mu Xiwan helplessly replied:

“Auntie, because you are my family, we have karmic ties, so I can’t see very clearly, but I can tell that there’s nothing wrong in our family!”

After all, if there were any issues at home, she would be able to sense them.

Mu Xiwan continued, then said to Ji Yuanxi:

“Auntie, are you working tomorrow? I want to visit the hospital where you work!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanxi nodded:

“After breakfast tomorrow, please accompany me to the hospital!”

“Auntie, it’s no trouble at all, besides, I want to know what’s going on,” Mu Xiwan insisted.

As they were talking, a maid came over and said that dinner was ready. Seeing that the matter had been decided, Old Master Mu called out to everyone, “Alright, let’s have dinner first!”

During dinner, Old Master Mu set the date for Mu Xiwan’s banquet, this Saturday.

Hearing her grandfather’s arrangement, Mu Xiwan didn’t say anything. In truth, she disliked attending these events, but she also knew that as a member of a wealthy family, this was a gesture of love from her family, and she couldn’t refuse.

After dinner, Jiang Xingman started choosing dresses, jewelry, and shoes for the banquet on the studio’s website.

Without having to go to the store, Mu Xiwan felt quite relaxed. She picked out some simple, low-key dresses and accessories, then handed the tablet back to Jiang Xingman.

Jiang Xingman felt that her daughter had chosen too little, so she quickly selected more according to Mu Xiwan’s preferences.

———-

The next morning after breakfast, Mu Xiwan accompanied Ji Yuanxi to the hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital, Mu Xiwan saw a plume of black smoke rising from a window on the ward building.

Stopping in her tracks, Mu Xiwan said to Ji Yuanxi, “Auntie, is that room your dormitory or office?”

Following Mu Xiwan’s pointing direction, Ji Yuanxi said in surprise, “Xiwan, how did you know? That’s my dormitory, where I rest temporarily when I work the night shift!”

Mu Xiwan nodded knowingly and said to Ji Yuanxi, “Auntie, the problem lies in your dormitory. Let’s go up and take a look. Put the amulet I gave you last night away.”

After hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, Ji Yuanxi reached into her pocket and touched the amulet, feeling reassured. She followed Mu Xiwan towards the upstairs.

As soon as they entered the ward where Ji Yuanxi worked, several doctors and nurses greeted her, “Director Ji, who is this young lady you brought, so beautiful?”

“My niece, my own!”

Ji Yuanxi chatted and laughed with her colleagues for a few moments, then led Mu Xiwan to her dormitory.
