Sweet Beauty

Chapter 299 - Rebirth I

Liang Zixuan had been with Han Yuanjun for a year and a half, but she had never seen him thought highly of anyone. Even when he first brought her back to the Han Family, he wasn't this anxious.

She did not dare to delay any longer. She put her phone back in her pocket, exchanged a few words with Zeng Zhelan, and took the elevator.

When she knocked on the door, it was opened by someone from inside. Yao Xiu appeared in front of her and said respectfully, "Please come in, everyone is waiting for you."

Yao Xiu opened the door. As soon as Liang Zixuan entered, he walked out and closed the door behind her.

At this time, Liang Zixuan saw that besides Han Yuanjun, there was also a man and a woman in the office.

She had met Gao Nianzu before. According to Han Yuanjun, his family owned an antique shop, and the woman beside him seemed to be in her mid-twenties. Her long black hair was tied up with rubber bands, giving other people a fresh and comfortable feeling.

Especially her eyes, which were extremely bright as if there were two stars embedded in her face, flickering.

"Baby, come here, let me introduce you." Han Yuanjun walked over and held Liang Zixuan's hand. He led her in front of Gao Nianzu and the woman. "You've met Nianzu before, so I don't need to talk about this brat. The one next to him is his cousin, her name is Gao Shuchun."

Liang Zixuan took the initiative to extend her hand towards Gao Shuchun. "Hello, Miss Gao. My name is Liang Zixuan."

Gao Shuchun stood there without moving. Her eyes stared sharply at Liang Zixuan. Her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be able to see through people. The penetrating force was so strong that Liang Zixuan felt uncomfortable.

It was the feeling of standing in front of Gao Shuchun without any clothes on and allowing her to size her (Liang Zixuan) up.

Liang Zixuan withdrew her hand in embarrassment.

Gao Nianzu was a little embarrassed and quickly tugged on Gao Shuchun's dress. "Why are you looking at her like that? It's not like you don't know that your eyes are so scary. If you scare sister-in-law, I won't be able to help you if Third Brother beats you up!"

Han Yuanjun wasn't angry when he saw Gao Shuchun's expression. He even shushed Gao Nianzu and told him to be quiet.

Two minutes had passed and Gao Shuchun was still staring at Liang Zixuan. No matter how thick Liang Zixuan's face was, she could still see right through it.

Liang Zixuan pursed her lips and laughed awkwardly. "Miss Gao, do I have something on my face?"

At this moment, she suddenly saw Gao Shuchun's black eyes change color. They were dark and gloomy, so dull that she couldn't see anything in them.

The cold wind from the air conditioner blew through the room, and Liang Zixuan couldn't help but shiver. Her entire body was cold, and she was suddenly a little scared. She pressed her body close to Han Yuanjun.

"It's alright." Han Yuanjun squeezed Liang Zixuan's shoulder and explained in a low voice, "She has yin-yang eyes. Don't be afraid."

"Yin-yang Eyes?" Liang Zixuan was stunned for a moment. She had only seen this kind of magical thing in novels before, and it was said that people who had this pair of eyes could see ghosts.

Gao Shuchun was staring at her with such a look... Could it be that she wasn't a human, but a ghost?

Liang Zixuan's face turned pale. Even her hands were as cold as ice. She was so scared that her heart trembled.

"Liang Zixuan, don't be afraid." Gao Shuchun's eyes slowly returned to their original color. Her pairs of black eyes shone like stars again. Her gloomy and dull appearance before this was just like a hallucination.

She reached out to hold Liang Zixuan's hand. Gao Shuchun felt that her hands were cold. She must have scared her earlier.

Gao Shuchun then explained with a smile, "My brother said that there's a strange person at Third Brother's side and that she is a reincarnated person. I was very busy two months ago and couldn't come quickly."

Liang Zixuan couldn't even keep the smile on her face. When Gao Shuchun held her hand, she felt that Gao Shuchun's hands were even colder than her own.

Gao Nianzu looked at Liang Zixuan's pale face and smacked the back of Gao Shuchun's head in annoyance. "You too. You just met her and you're already looking at her like that. Look how scared she was. I don't dare talk to you anymore."

"I-I am not." Liang Zixuan struggled to free herself from Han Yuanjun's embrace. Although she was still a little scared, she couldn't remain silent.

Han Yuanjun gestured to Gao Nianzu and Gao Shuchun, "Please sit down."

He then pulled Liang Zixuan to a nearby sofa and sat her down beside him.

Han Yuanjun gently patted Liang Zixuan's back with his hand. After helping her calm down, he said softly, ''Earlier, I told you that the Gao Family was in the antique business, but today, I will tell you that the antique business is just the front cover of his family's business. The things his family does behind the scenes are all mysterious, and Gao Shuchun is someone with supernatural abilities in their generation. Coincidentally, she's studying about rebirth right now, so... I asked her to come here."

Liang Zixuan nodded. Earlier, she'd wondered why Gao Shuchun became so strange when she saw her, almost scaring her to death.

But then she suddenly remembered what Gao Nianzu had said to Han Yuanjun on the phone. Unconsciously, she leaned into Han Yuanjun's arms. "Then... they won't bring me back for research purposes, will they?"

"Hahaha ..." Gao Nianzu laughed out loud and winked at her, deliberately scaring her. "Of course we do. Our Gao family is very curious about things like this, and it was rare for us to meet someone like you. So, how can we let you go so easily?"

Liang Zixuan's face turned pale again.

Gao Shuchun glared fiercely at her brother. "Don't listen to his nonsense! Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the guts! Third Brother will skin him alive!"

Han Yuanjun's face also darkened. He kicked Gao Nianzu under the table. "Shut up!"

Gao Nianzu cried out loudly, hugging his legs and moaning in pain. "Third Brother, stop kicking me! Do you think I'm scared of you?"

Han Yuanjun narrowed his eyes. Gao Nianzu immediately closed his mouth, not daring to say anything else.

Seeing that Gao Nianzu had gone quiet, Gao Shuchun took out a glass bead bracelet from her bag and handed it to Liang Zixuan. "I saw with my yin-yang eyes that you are very different from ordinary people. Take this with you. It can help you avoid trouble."

"Different?" Liang Zixuan took the glass bead, put it on her wrist, and asked in a doubtful tone, "How am I different from ordinary people? Could it be ... Am I really just a soul? A ghost?"

"Not really." Although Gao Shuchun was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old; when she spoke, she was calm and silent like a nun in a temple, giving a transcendent yet subtle feeling.

"You're human, yes. But while the average human has three souls, you have lost one soul. I'm just trying to look past your eyes, and I see your past...."
