Chapter 731: Special Number
The only thing Li Beinian could ascertain now, was that at the very least, Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge knew her identity.
And that went for Old Master Li as well.
Even... Li Haoran knew that they were hiding her identity and protecting her in all ways possible.
Li Beinian stared at the photograph on the computer screen. She couldn’t take her eyes off the ruby.
Mu Xichen was looking at the photograph as well, his eyes were fixed on the gemstone. After a long time, he turned to look at Li Beinian. “Where is it?”
“In Qian Zhou, I hid it.” Li Beinian glanced sideways. “My godparents made me a set of necklaces. Besides the necklaces, there were also rings, earrings, and bracelets.”
Mu Xichen nodded upon hearing this. It was hard to tell how he was feeling.
Li Beinian was holding her phone in her hand and suddenly felt a tremor in her palm.
It was an unknown number, belonging to the Imperial Capital.
This number was very special. Out of the eleven digits, there were eight 8’s.
At a glance, Li Beinian’s immediate reaction was: Scam number.
She opened the message: Hello, Miss Beinian. I’m Nico. I saw your news online. I can tell that many of the comments are malicious. Although I know it has nothing to do with me, I know that you’re a decent girl, so this upsets me. I hope you can give me a chance to help you clear your name.
It was a message made in an official and old-fashioned tone.
Li Beinian was stunned for a moment. Then she quickly realized that Mu Xichen was also looking at her phone screen.
She glanced at Mu Xichen and saw a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
“I’ll reply to him,” Li Beinian said as she picked up her phone and started typing: Hello, Mr. Nico. Thank you very much for your kind intentions, but it’s not necessary. I can settle this matter myself. My husband is concerned about me interacting with members of the opposite sex. I hope you won’t text me in the future! I will go with my husband to visit you, or you may contact my husband for any matters. His mobile number is 188...
After typing out Mu Xichen’s number, Li Beinian waved her phone at the man and asked, “Shall I reply this way?”
Mu Xichen had watched her type out the message. When he read it, he threw her a glance and remarked, “Using me as a shield. You’re improving.”
Li Beinian snorted in disdain.
The stinker!
Obviously he was rather satisfied, so why all that pretending!
Li Beinian sent the message to Nico.
Nico rarely texted anyone.
This was the first time he was so looking forward to a girl’s reply.
This girl, on the other hand, was 20 years younger than himself, their features were so similar!
In just two minutes, Nico had looked at his phone several times. However, when he saw Li Beinian’s reply, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
He stared at the message that Li Beinian had sent and thought about the attitude of the girl’s husband, and how he looked.
It wasn’t hard to imagine that he was a very possessive man.
Not only that, from the stack of documents in front of him, he could tell that this man was very capable and resourceful.
Nico’s eyes swept over the pile of documents in front of him and then looked at the phone in his hand. There was a hint of loneliness on his usually calm face.
Will took in all of Nico’s emotions and stepped forward with a smile. “There are three more spots to purchase in Tai Chen Prefecture where Mr. Mu lives. One of them is near the villa they live in.”
