Chapter 12 A visit from an old friend
  The last time Xia Qin saw Wei Zonglin was at her husband's funeral.

As her husband's right-hand man, senior seance master Wei Zonglin helped preside over the funeral as a close friend and colleague.

After the funeral, Wei Zonglin found Xia Qin in private. After his expression of love was decisively rejected, he left the first area.

Soon, Xia Qin also moved to the Ninth District where she currently lives.

"We haven't seen her for ten years, but Mrs. Xia is still radiant."

"President Wei is joking, you are still as romantic as before, how can you have time to visit me today?"

So many things happened in ten years. The then senior seancer Wei Zonglin was promoted all the way. He was promoted to a special seance master in less than two years. He served as the vice president of the Seance Association for five years and became the president of the seance association association. One of the popular campaign figures.

He often appears on TV for interviews. The Wei Zonglin on the screen is unsmiling and has a stern expression. He is nicknamed the "cold-faced emperor" because of the white frost on his temples.

However, Wei Zonglin, who was sitting opposite, was polite and spoke like a spring breeze:
  "President Wei is a well-known title. Madam Xia can just call me Zong Lin. I was temporarily transferred to the ninth district yesterday. I heard that you are also here, so I came here to visit. I hope I won't disturb you."

"No, it's too late for you to be happy to see my friend. I was so excited that I forgot to pour the tea. Please sit down first and come back later."

Xia Qin got up and went into the kitchen to make tea. Wei Zonglin's eyes never left that graceful figure.

The ruthless years have turned his temples white, but he has not been able to touch the white moonlight. She seems to have the magic power to pause time, freezing the beauty of her skin in its best years.

Even more breathtaking than before.

"Is it necessary for a person to live in such a big house?"

Wei Zonglin thought.

Xia Qin served two cups of steaming barley tea. A strand of hair fell on her forehead. She brushed it with her fingers and said lightly: "There are no guests on weekdays, so there is no good tea. I'm sorry."

Wei Zonglin took a sip and said with emotion: "I really miss it. Jin Ling used to like to drink barley tea the most. Jin Ling has been gone for ten years, does Madam still live alone?"

"I'm still taking Xiaoling with me."

"It's not easy being alone."

Xia Qin smiled lightly: "It's not too difficult. Jin Ling left a fortune, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Won't you get bored?"

Xia Qin shook her head: "No, I opened a few convenience stores to pass the time. Xiaoling went to school, and I just wandered around the store and chatted with the young people."

"There must be many people pursuing you."

"You are so old, how can anyone take notice of you?"

"Just kidding. But you just look down on ordinary people."

Xia Qin smiled: "Don't talk about me all the time. What about you? Are you married and have children?"

"I've been in love a few times, but nothing has come to an end. At this point in my life, I can't hold anyone new in my heart. As for you, do you have someone you like now?"

A young and delicate face flashed in Xia Qin's mind, and her heart was beating fast.

Xia Qin hesitated and said:
  "No."

Wei Zonglin had been observing Xia Qin's expression. When asked if she had anyone she liked, she became nervous, which meant that she did. His eyes did not dodge, indicating that the person was not him.

Difficult to accept.

"if……"

The sound of footsteps coming from the stairs interrupted the conversation, and Wei Zonglin noticed that Xia Qin's eyes became brighter as the footsteps approached.

He turned around and saw a girl who looked somewhat similar to Xia Qin. She must be Xia Xiaoling.

Behind Xia Xiaoling was a young man dressed simply, with a handsome appearance and clear eyes. Perhaps he was Xia Xiaoling's boyfriend?

"This is Wei Zonglin, the vice president of the Seance Association. Xiaoling, you used to like to pester Uncle Wei to buy sweets. Do you remember?"

"Xiao Ling has grown up, who is this?"

Wei Zonglin looked at Su Heng.

"He's my mom's boyfriend!"

Xia Xiaoling blurted out.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Su Heng, who was the first to react, said quickly: "She was joking. My name is Su Heng, and I am an employee of Sister Xia Qin."

Xia Qin blushed and added: "He is the clerk of my convenience store and happened to come here to eat."

Wei Zonglin smiled slightly at Su Heng, then looked at Xia Xiaoling and said with emotion:
  "Xiao Ling hasn't changed, she's still as naughty as she was when she was a child."

"I just……"

Xia Xiaoling was glared hard by Su Heng, stuck out her tongue, and did not continue.

Wei Zonglin's cell phone rang. “Sorry, pick up the phone.”

Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Qin educated her daughter with a straight face:
  "Xiaoling, how could you make such a joke in front of Uncle Wei?"

"I……"

Facing the rare and stern Xia Qin, Xia Xiaoling hesitated and couldn't say a word.

It was Su Heng who helped to resolve the situation:

"Sister Xia Qin, I didn't expect you to know Wei Zonglin."

"Well, my husband used to be his senior, and the two of them worked together in séances for many years."

"What's the name of Sister Xia Qin's husband?"

"Xia Jinling."

Xia Qin told the truth.

Xia Jinling?
  Su Heng once knew about the public list of special spiritual masters, but had no impression of this name. Maybe he had seen it at the time and forgotten it now.

"Mr. Xia must have been great in the past."

Any special level spiritual master is a respectable existence.

"kindness."

Wei Zonglin just finished answering the phone.

"Sorry, there is a meeting to be held at the last moment, and I have to go back. I will definitely visit you again when I am free some other time."

"It's okay. Remember to call in advance next time you come."

"Okay, see you next time. Goodbye, Xiaoling."

Wei Zonglin said goodbye to Xia Qin and his daughter. He didn't know whether he ignored Su Heng intentionally and didn't look at him again.

Out of politeness, Xia Qin decided to send him off.

The two walked for a while, and looking at their backs, Xia Xiaoling muttered:

"What a nasty guy, huh?"

Su Heng shrugged: "That's the second-in-command of the séance. You dare to say that you hate him. It would be too late for others to curry favor with you."

"I just don't like him."

"Why? With the help of such a noble person, life will go much smoother, right?"

Su Heng narrowed his eyes. Xia Qin sent Wei Lin to the intersection and didn't go any further.

"No reason, anyway, I don't need his help.

"Maybe Sister Xia Qin needs it?"

Xia Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then smiled maliciously: "Hey, are you jealous when you say this? That's right. Compared to the big boss who is so powerful, you are completely uncompetitive!"

"I think so too. Let's leave the curse issue to this cold-faced emperor!"

"Absolutely not! I believe only you can do this!" Xia Xiaoling said righteously.

"What does it mean to be the only one..."

After almost staying there, Su Heng felt it was time to go back. He planned to take a nap before going to the night shift.

"Ah, you just left like that? The battle plan hasn't been discussed yet. What if the evil spirit appears again?"

Considering that the evil spirit did not kill Xia Qin, Su Heng felt that the other party would not come back in the short term. Even if he comes back, with his current strength, he will be unable to fight back against a Class A evil spirit.

The prerequisite for customizing a combat plan is combat strength.

"Please, miss, I still have to work to make money. If I don't work, how about you support me?"

"My mother raised you."

"Your mother is already raising me, but I still have to support my landlady."

"Huh? Don't you have your own house?"

"Stop being sarcastic. How can a 25-year-old young man afford a house without relying on his parents?"

Xia Xiaoling thoughtfully said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so poor. But regarding this matter, I have a bold proposal."

When walking back, Xia Qin saw that Su Heng and her daughter had been chatting, and she was a little curious about what they were talking about.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got closer, I heard my daughter say:
  "Why don't you just move in with us!"
