Chapter 33 33. Strange Lightning
"What could be more important than your birthday?"

Jinci felt that the birthday party and the family reunion party were not some secret that could not be told, so she told Xiaoyue.

Hearing this, Xiaoyue was so excited that she almost fell off her chair.

"Aci, can I go tomorrow?"

"Do not……"

"Tomorrow is your birthday. We agreed to celebrate your birthday together."

Jin Ci wanted to refuse, but didn't know how to start.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me." Jinjiu's voice sounded outside the house.

Jin Ci hurried to open the door, and when she saw Jin Jiu, she was a little confused.

Jin Jiu glanced at her phone and said, "I want to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter?" Jin Ci was a little surprised.

Jin Jiu usually wouldn't take the initiative to look for her, especially not for something, which sounded a little unusual.

"It's not convenient for me tomorrow, please take Lin Qian with you." Jin Jiu took out the bracelet that Lin Qian had left with him.

Jin Ci had no doubts, she knew that Jin Jiu had many secrets. The inconvenience she mentioned should be related to metaphysics. She was probably going to do something tomorrow, and it would not be convenient for Lin Qian, a ghost, to follow her around.

Since this was not a difficult matter, Jin Ci nodded and agreed: "Okay."

"Thank you for your help." After saying that, the bracelet was automatically put on Jinci's hand.

If it was Jin Ci two days ago, she would have screamed and yelled, but now she has seen all the weirdest things, so this is nothing.

Seeing Jinjiu leave and Jinci closing the door, she realized that she had not hung up the call, which meant that Xiaoyue had heard the conversation.

Jin Ci suddenly became a little nervous. She began to think about whether there was anything special revealed in the conversation between her and Jin Jiu just now, such as the word ghost.

Just as she was nervously thinking, Xiao Yue suddenly said, "Aci, was that person just now Jin Jiu?"

"Yes."

"Who is Lin Qian?"

Jin Ci choked, and after a while she said, "It seems to be her friend."

Ghost friends are also friends. After all, for people in the Xuanmen, friends come regardless of their kind or whether they are dead or alive.

Xiaoyue didn't know about these twists and turns, she took Jinci's hesitation as dissatisfaction.

As for why you are dissatisfied?
"Aci, you said that the real daughter is very good, but I don't think she is good at all." Xiao Yue said angrily: "Lin Qian is her friend, what does it have to do with you? What right does she have to find an excuse to ask you to take care of her friend? Don't you have your own things to do? She didn't even consider whether it would be inconvenient for you to have someone always around you."

Jin Ci was a little embarrassed.

First, because Lin Qian had already stuck her head out to answer the phone with him, and it felt really weird to be caught by the person who was talking behind someone's back;
Second, she didn't know how to explain Lin Qian's identity.

She couldn't say that Lin Qian was a ghost who could stretch freely, fly through walls, and even gossip with her. It wouldn't affect her at all, but instead bring her a lot of fun, right?

Xiaoyue thought that Jinci's silence was due to her persuasion.

She was delighted and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Forget it, Ah Ci, I know you have a good temper, and you promised to take care of other people's friends, but I am your friend, can't I celebrate your birthday with you?"

Lin Qian looked at Jin Ci and whispered, "Agree to it. After all, you are her friend. Sister Jiu won't mind. And there won't be many more people at the Jin family party."

Jin Ci swallowed the words that were about to be rejected.

"Okay, tell me your home address and I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow." Lin Qian silently retracted the bracelet and stopped talking.

……

On the day of the birthday party, because the party started in the afternoon, the dedicated Zhen Qianjin Jinjiu still went to set up the stall conscientiously.

Originally, she wanted to be lazy for a day, but the heavens would not let her, so Jinjiu had no choice but to go out. As a result, after the whole morning, there was no one around.

"Is this the result of your determination to make me leave?" Jin Jiu sneered.

Tiandao said nothing. Jinjiu felt that something was wrong, but Tiandao relied on the fact that he could not do anything to it now and insisted on being tough. So after returning to Jin's house, Jinjiu could only curse him.

What follows is the familiar plot of Tiandao getting angry after being scolded, and then wanting to strike Jinjiu with lightning.

But just when the thunder was about to fall in front of Jinjiu, Jinci suddenly appeared: "Sister Jiu, we should pack up and go out."

Jin Jiu didn't pay attention to what she said, because at this moment her mind was replaying the scene just now - when the thunder was about to strike her, the lightning suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and directly penetrated Jin Ci's body.

But Jinci didn't react at all.

"Sister Jiu?"

"Okay, I understand." Jin Jiu suppressed her doubts and followed Jin Ci to dress up.

After a while, two beautiful women, one black and one white, each with their own unique characteristics, appeared at Jin's door.

Aunt Qin looked at the two young ladies, gazing at them from side to side with great fondness, and as she looked at them she said things like "They are so pretty", "They are indeed sisters", "Madam has such good genes".

"Miss, Miss Ci, the car is here."

Jinjiu looked outside and saw two cars.

She didn't know the brand of the car, but she could tell the good from the bad, and she could tell that these two cars were worth a lot of money.

"Get in the car."

Jin Ci walked to one of the cars and got in directly.

Jin Jiu followed and prepared to get in the car, but was slightly stopped: "Miss, this is the one you want."

"I know, but I want to ride in the same car with my sister." There was something strange about the thunder and lightning just now, and she had to study it as soon as possible.

"This……"

"Then Sister Ajiu and I will take the car in front." Jin Ci got out of the car and got into the car in front with Jin Jiu.

These two cars look the same, but there are actually differences between them. Although both are top luxury cars, the latter one is slightly inferior to the former. This is why Jinci took the initiative to get on the latter car.

Moreover, there is a difference between the front and back of the car. The first one is the leader and has a higher status. According to other people's ideas, he should be the one sitting in the wine shop.

But if there are two people in the same car, they will naturally sit in the front car.

Seeing both ladies got on the car and the atmosphere was harmonious, the person in charge suddenly felt nervous. He began to feel uneasy about his own little thoughts.

In the past, he had arranged all the vehicles for the Jin family, and this time was no exception.

Although he didn't know the two young ladies well, he was accustomed to the feuds among wealthy families, so he naturally thought that Jinjiu and Jinjiu would not have a good relationship. Moreover, as Jinjiu was the legitimate young lady, he must elevate her status, so the two cars were different.

Otherwise, if the two cars are identical, even if there is a front and a back, as they are all family members, no one will particularly care about the order.

Although he knew that he might have messed up, the person in charge still completed the follow-up work diligently and responsibly, striving to make up for his own mistake of presumptuous guessing the emperor's intentions.
