201: Chapter 201 Wanting to bind himself and Lovi together tightly

Facing Luo Wei's questioning,

Shen Muer immediately shook her head in denial.

"I didn't. I know Youxi hates Yang Chengfeng, so why would I call him over?"

Cui Youxi believed Shen Muer's defense; her Best Friend had never done anything to make her angry before.

"It must be a coincidence," Cui Youxi helped explain. "After all, the Furong Building used to be owned by Yang Chengfeng's family, so he often appears here."

"You really are..." Luo Wei raised his hand and tapped Cui Youxi's head. "You're being sold and you're still helping them count the money!"

Luo Wei suddenly reached out and snapped the red string hanging around Cui Youxi's neck.

He tossed the crescent moon jade pendant onto the table.

Then, he looked at Shen Muer expressionlessly.

"A while ago, when Cui Youxi's house was haunted, you had a part in scaring her from the shadows, didn't you?"

"I've already dealt with all those people who were playing ghost."

"I made them spend a billion to buy the collection in Cui Youxi's hands!"

"This matter disrupted your plan, so you're very unhappy with me. You hate me, right?"

"Don't think I don't know. The reason you called Yang Chengfeng over was precisely to deal with me!"

"Not only that, the reason you wanted Yang Chengfeng to finish me off quickly..."

"...is because you're worried I'll discover the matter of the cursed crescent moon!"

"You don't want me to tell Cui Youxi about this!"

Luo Wei's words made Shen Muer's face turn pale instantly.

While Cui Youxi was completely dazed. "What is the cursed crescent moon?"

Luo Wei sighed and pointed at the crescent moon jade pendant tossed on the table.

"Did you know? That thing actually comes from an ancient tomb; it's a funerary object."

"That jade pendant is very eerie. It has already killed five owners so far!"

"And she lied to you, saying it was blessed and could keep you safe."

"In reality, she couldn't wait for this thing to kill you!"

Hearing this, Cui Youxi hurriedly patted her chest!

Just knowing that the crescent moon jade pendant was a funerary object already made her feel extremely disgusted!

She never expected that the crescent moon jade pendant would be so eerie as to kill the person wearing it!

She was terrified, her hair standing on end, and she hurriedly hugged Luo Wei's arm to gain a sense of security.

"Mr. Lo—Luo Wei, am I okay? I haven't been cursed, have I?"

"You're fine!" Luo Wei smiled and shook his head.

"Fortunately, you haven't been wearing that jade pendant for long."

"Besides, you met me. If I hadn't recognized that jade pendant, you would definitely be a goner!"

"Thank you, Mr. Luo Wei!" Cui Youxi hugged Luo Wei's arm tightly; she trusted him 100%!

After all, Luo Wei had helped her earn a billion yesterday!

Now, she looked at Shen Muer with disappointment and astonishment.

She couldn't understand why her Best Friend would do such a thing.

"Do you want to kill me? Why? Why do you want to harm me?"

"She did this because there must be benefits!" Luo Wei analyzed with a cold sneer.

"If you die, she might be able to inherit your estate through some method!"

Hearing Luo Wei's analysis, Cui Youxi frowned and began to think. "Could it be that she plans to forge my will?"

"Explain yourself!" Luo Wei looked at Shen Muer with a cold face.

Shen Muer gritted her teeth; she didn't plan to say anything.

But at that moment, she felt a wave of gloom and cold!

It was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

However, it wasn't cold in the traditional sense!

She felt her soul trembling, as if she had fallen into purgatory!

Everything she feared in her heart seemed to be entangling her!

Shen Muer didn't know that the Spirit Body Maiden was also very curious about this matter.

The Spirit Body Maiden sat beside her and spoke persuasively in her ear.

"Speak. Just say it and it'll be fine. If you speak, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Shen Muer couldn't hear what the Spirit Body Maiden was saying.

But she felt an endless fear!

She was terrified, thinking this was Luo Wei's doing!

Luo Wei was truly terrifying. If she didn't cooperate with him, she might be killed!

Shen Muer didn't want to die. Enveloped by cold fear, she let out a sob and began to cry.

While crying, she explained, "Ac—actually, Youxi and I are half-sisters..."

"Huh?" Cui Youxi was dumbfounded. She had no idea and didn't believe it. "Don't joke around!"

"I'm not joking!" Shen Muer continued. "Mom divorced shortly after giving birth to you, and then I was born the following year."

"I didn't know at first either. It wasn't until recently, when Mom heard that your father passed away and talked to me about it, that I found out we were sisters."

"And then?" Cui Youxi vaguely guessed what was going on. "Mom isn't eligible to inherit Dad's estate, so she started targeting me, right?"

Shen Muer nodded; that was exactly it!

Confirming this, Cui Youxi was completely stunned!

Since she was a child, she had all sorts of fantasies about her mother.

In her fantasy world, her mother was wonderful and had only left her because she had no choice.

Who would have thought that the first news she got about her mother after growing up was that her mother wanted to kill her to inherit her estate!

Cui Youxi was full of rage, but she didn't know how to curse out loud!

"Get out!" She was expressionless, but her tone was very calm.

"Get out of here. I don't want to see you again!"

Cui Youxi really wanted to take revenge and strike back!

But the other party was her own mother!

Even if that woman had abandoned her and now wanted to kill her,

she couldn't bring herself to strike back and harm that woman!

Facing Cui Youxi's scolding, Shen Muer hurriedly stood up and left the place.

Since she couldn't take revenge, Luo Wei decided to help her!

This matter also made Luo Wei very angry!

He said nothing, only glancing at the Spirit Body Maiden.

The Spirit Body Maiden knew what Luo Wei meant. She took the crescent moon jade pendant from the table.

Then, she followed beside Shen Muer.

She intended to follow Shen Muer home.

Shen Muer had no idea she was being targeted by a ghost!

Despondent, she now only wanted to go home and tell her mother that the plan had failed.

Greatly shaken, Cui Youxi couldn't help but bury herself in Luo Wei's arms and cry.

Being plotted against by her biological mother made her feel extremely miserable!

Thinking about the curse on the crescent moon jade pendant, she was terrified.

Burying her head in Luo Wei's arms, she asked while crying, "Mr. Luo Wei, do curses really exist in the world?"

"They don't." Luo Wei gently stroked her back and comforted her with a smile. "You should have heard about the mysterious oil painting murders, right?"

Cui Youxi nodded. She had seen cases of cursed oil paintings killing several owners.

"Actually..." Luo Wei found an excuse to fool Cui Youxi.

"The oil painting killings are real because the painters used toxic materials to make the pigments!"

"By the same logic, that jade pendant contains toxic substances, so the person wearing it gets affected!"

So that was it. Cui Youxi had thought the jade pendant really was cursed.

The fear in her heart vanished at that moment.

But she couldn't help but snuggle deeper into Luo Wei's arms, holding him even tighter!

She felt an endless sense of security from Luo Wei.

She was like a small boat that had encountered a storm.

Now, she had anchored in a warm and safe harbor.

She wanted to bind herself tightly to Luo Wei!

At that moment, she raised her head and gave Luo Wei a sweet kiss...
