Chapter 507 Sister in Law?

"Hey, Zhang Wei!"

Qi Xiang was at the back of the building, deeply engaged in a lively conversation with a few colleagues.

He was just about to head back inside the restaurant to check on his wife when his eyes caught a familiar figure in the distance.

He paused, squinting slightly under the soft evening light, as a man accompanied by a woman approached.

Although the man's appearance had changed somewhat since he last saw him a year ago, Qi Xiang's instincts kicked in.

He couldn't shake the feeling of recognition. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Without hesitation, Qi Xiang shouted, his voice carrying across the open space, "Hey, Zhang Wei!"

He watched carefully for any sign of recognition.

When Zhang Wei turned around, locking eyes with him and confirming his identity, a wide grin broke out on Qi Xiang's face.

Qi Xiang quickened his pace, his steps brisk with excitement as he approached them. "Zhang Wei! I barely recognized you with the new look. What's with this long white hairs? Are you working in drama industry now?" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with both surprise and warmth.

As he drew closer, Qi Xiang's grin remained plastered on his face, his eyes darting briefly to the woman beside Zhang Wei.

Qi Xiang's eyes widened as he noticed the swaying girl with a flushed face being supported by Zhang Wei. 'Who is this new woman?' he wondered silently.

As far as he knew, Zhang Wei was still married and hadn't filed for divorce.

Could something have happened in the last year?

Despite his growing suspicion, Qi Xiang's gaze shifted back to Zhang Wei, looking for some sort of explanation.

Before Zhang Wei ever set foot in Qingyun, his life was starkly different, almost unrecognizable to those who knew him later.

In fact, few would believe that in the bustling, somewhat shady city of Xueshan—known for its loose lifestyle filled with drugs and freewheeling social scenes—he was an oddball who not only avoided but actively disliked women to a significant extent.

However, stepping into Qingyun seemed to be a transformative turning point for him.

It was as if the city itself baptized him, embracing and amplifying his scoundrel tendencies, and he fully accepted this new identity with open arms.

The details of his past in Xueshan were known by very few, and his even earlier days in Hufeng were known by even fewer.

The layers of his history were complex and deeply intertwined with the fabric of these cities.

People are often shaped by their experiences, or even the experiences of their ancestors, and Zhang Wei was no exception.

Carrying the lineage of an emperor, he found himself unknowingly stranded in the mortal plane.

His true nature began to erupt when he reached Qingyun, further amplified by the existence of a mysterious system that seemed to influence his actions and decisions, steering him down a path that was dramatically different from others.

In the bustling ambiance of the pavilion, an irritated woman faced off against three monks.

The senior among them, Monk Sheng, wore the deep brown robes of an inner court disciple, his expression serene despite the tension.

Flanking him were two junior monks, Jian and Huo, clad in the lighter brown of the outer court, their youthful faces marked with concern.

"How many times must I repeat myself? I do not know your Abbot, and I have no intention of coming with you!" the woman exclaimed, her voice tinged with frustration, her delicate lips quivering slightly.

"Reverend Sister, we understand your reluctance, but we merely wish to discuss a matter of great importance. It concerns you directly, and we believe it could be beneficial," Monk Sheng responded, his voice calm.

"I've told you already, I'm not interested! You must be mistaking me for someone else," she retorted irritated.
