Chapter 490 - 490: Su Ji’s Relationship is Threatened?
Turning on the lights, the room that Du Meilan specially decorated for Su Ji was a very girly pink and white color.
This was to satisfy Madam Du’s wish. She had always wanted to decorate such a room for her daughter. However, when Pei Xi was young, she liked to decorate the room with posters of muscular men.
The microscope was placed on the desk, and beside it were the things that Wang Zhicheng had sent over.
Su Ji closed the door and sat in front of the microscope. The moonlight shone on the table.
She tied her long hair, exposing her slender neck. She turned on the lamp, and followed the method Wang Yi had taught her, step by step.
When she was serious, she looked very different from usual. Her side profile looked refreshing, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her long eyelashes fluttered occasionally.
She looked at the highly-magnified hair tissue through the observation glass.
Her eyes widened little by little, and her eyes did not move for a long time.
As if she wasn’t sure of the answer, she took out another one from the sample ten minutes later.
She repeated the same steps.
The result was still the same.
Based on the method Wang Yi taught her, although Bian Tong’s hair looked black and shiny, the tissue under the microscope was completely different from hers, Wang Yi’s, and even Pei Qingshen’s.
The hair was of cultural relic grade, and the tissue would break if she exerted a bit more force on the tweezer.
If Pei Qingshen was 70+ years old, then Bian Tong was at least a few thousand years old..
Su Yi slowly straightened her body.
Her gaze fell on the remaining hair samples on the table.
It turned out that there were other ways to transmigrate.
No wonder Bian Tong was so familiar with all the characters of the different dynasties.
Even Su Ji was only proficient in the culture of the Great Shang Dynasty.
She recalled the painting that Bian Tong had drawn and the history of the bracelet.
A moment later, she put away the microscope and took out a lighter from the drawer. She put all the remaining samples into a steel box and burned all of them.
The flickering fire in her eyes quickly extinguished. She put the lighter back into the drawer.
After dealing with this, she caressed the bracelet on her hand.
He said that he didn’t know what Prince Huai looked like, but the person he drew was clearly Pei Huai.
Was he trying to fool her because he didn’t want to reveal the secret, or was there something else…?
Perhaps he would know why she and her mother had transmigrated to this era. Perhaps he even knew her friend and Prince Huai, and what had happened back then. Perhaps he could tell her what happened to the original owner.
“Knock, knock.”
“Knock, knock.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Baby, are you resting?”
“The cake that Madam Du bought today is delicious.” Su Ji froze for a moment as her gaze fell on the door.
It was Pei Xi and Du Meilan’s voices.
She opened the window to get rid of the smell of burning hair in the room.
‘ Sure,” she replied. “I’m hungry.”
The door opened. Pei Xi and Du Meilan were followed by servants, each carrying a cut cake, fruits, and some refreshments. Su Ji’s eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc.
They came prepared.
Fortunately, she agreed. If she had pretended to sleep just now, it would have been a waste of their efforts.
Other people usually had afternoon tea, but this was a late-night supper.
It was that they couldn’t catch up during the day, and Pei Xi was prone to hunger at night after she got pregnant. Du Meilan also shouldered the task of feeding her son’s girlfriend.
Entering the room, Du Meilan smelled something different.
She turned to look at the servant who was about to leave and said sternly, “did you clean Ms. Su’s room?”
The servants were very nervous. Su Ji explained, “it’s not them. I just did an experiment.”
Du Meilan’s expression softened after hearing this, and she waved her hand to dismiss the servants.
The three women sat on the sofa area of the bedroom. The refreshments were
placed on the coffee table.
In the past, Pei Xi and Du Meilan were the only women in the family. Now that Su Ji was here, it was much livelier.
Pei Xi used an exquisite metal fork to cut a piece of cake. The high-quality cream melted in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and her beautiful face looked mesmerizing.
Her figure was still very good, and it was impossible to tell how many months she was pregnant.
No wonder a Hollywood actor like Bill, the world’s sexiest man, was worried. He was very determined to keep himself fit.
“I heard that Dr. Wang came to help you assemble an instrument today?” Pei Xi asked Su Ji, “did you use that for the experiment?” Su Yi licked the drop of cream from the corner of her lips.
“Yes.”
Du Meilan was a little quiet today, mostly listening to the two talk.
Pei Xi noticed that something was wrong. “What’s wrong, mom? You seemed fine just now, but after receiving an international call, you seem distracted?”
“No, it’s just a casual phone call.” Du Meilan’s eyes fell on Su Ji for a few seconds before looking at Pei Xi. “When you were traveling in Continent M, did you contact Anna?”
Pei Xi thought for a while. “You mean the duke’s younger daughter?” Du Meilan nodded.
Pei Xi replied, “I met her once before I returned to the country. She’s not in good health and doesn’t usually attend social functions. She should be 18 this year and looks like a big girl. I knew she would grow up to become a beauty.”
“Did you receive a call from the duke?”
Anna.
It was a name Su Ji had never heard of.
But from Pei Xi and Du Meilan’s tone, it seemed that they had a good relationship with the Pei family.
Su Ji put down the cake and placed her hand on her bent knees and listened to their discussion.
“Yes.” Du Meilan took a sip of her black tea. “He wants to find a suitable partner for his daughter. Anna is weak and has been absent from school for a year. It’s probably difficult for her to finish college.”
She paused and suddenly asked Su Ji, “is Wang Yi still single?”
Pei Xi almost choked. She smiled and said, “mom, are you trying to matchmake Professor Wang and Anna? The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Don’t get involved in other people’s affairs.” Du Meilan shot her a look. “I’m doing it for Su Ji.”
Hearing this, Su Ji frowned.. “What do you mean?”
