Chapter 209: Flame Mark
He Xiyan felt a burning gaze staring at the back of her head, making her extremely uncomfortable.
She paused and turned back, only to meet Zhuang Yan's eyes, which were as deep and unfathomable as a pool of stagnant water.
He Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a flash of doubt flashed across her eyes.
Then he looked away and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
When Helian Chen saw her looking back, he also looked back.
He saw Zhuang Yan in the car not far away.
He didn't care at all that He Xiyan was beside him and waved at him openly as a greeting.
Then he followed closely in He Xiyan's footsteps.
He whispered tentatively behind her.
"Sister, do you know that person?"
He Xiyan: “I don’t know him.”
Zhuang Yan, who was not far away, heard He Xiyan's answer and a determined smile appeared on his lips.
He said in a tone that only he could hear.
"Don't we know each other now?"
Helian Chen lowered his voice and said, "He is the Zhuang Yan I told you about.
He has bad intentions towards you, you should stay away from him.
The mainstay of the banker's industry has always been in country H.
Although the imperial capital has industries, they are not numerous.
But some time ago he suddenly said that he wanted to enter the Chinese market.
I thought he was joking at first.
Little did I know he was serious.
Later I found out that he was coming for you."
He Xiyan raised her eyebrows, "What does his entry into the Chinese market have to do with me?
How can you tell he was coming for me?"
Helian Chen: “It is rumored that the man in the banker’s house was cursed by a wizard.
Getting a wife is a mysterious thing.
A mark will appear on the boy's body when he grows up.
That mark will help them choose their wives.
Only women chosen by the mark can become their wives.
They cannot touch the woman except the one chosen by the mark.
This rumor is no secret in country H.
Therefore, everyone in the upper circles of country H knew about it.
The selection of wives by bankers is more rigorous than that of concubines by emperors. "
He Xiyan was speechless, "What kind of messed up curse is this?
There are actually people who believe it.
Could it be that the mark on their bodies would choose an ugly monster, or an old lady in her seventies or eighties?
Are they going to marry her back home anyway?"
Helian Chen nodded, “Rumor has it that it must be a woman chosen by the mark.
Otherwise, they would rather remain single than get married.
Of course, this is just a legend.
But I don’t know whether this is the truth or not.”
He Xiyan didn't take Helian Chen's words to heart at all.
She felt it was too outrageous.
"Then why is he wearing a mask? Is it because he's ugly?"
Helian Chen shook his head, “Not ugly.
On the contrary, he is very handsome.
More handsome than my brother-in-law.
Zhuang Yan is 33 years old this year.
He covered his face just because he was so handsome.
Because there are too many women in country H who are greedy for his body.
He can't touch other women.
He deliberately announced to the public that his face was disfigured and hid it.”
He Xiyan: "How familiar are you with him?"
Helian Chen hesitated and said, “Secretly, he is the next generation mafia successor chosen by his father.
That's all I can tell you.
Besides, it’s confidential.
Since you don’t agree to recognize your father and mother, I can’t say anything more.
Only people from the Helian family can know the core secrets.
But I can assure you that he will not harm your life.
But it’s hard to say about my brother-in-law.
You are now the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
Except for his crippled leg, my brother-in-law is no worse than him in every other aspect.
If he wants to get you, he has to destroy the Xiao family first."
He Xiyan rolled her eyes.
“Just for a legendary curse, he is mentally ill to target the Xiao family.
He never thought that even if he dealt with the Xiao family, even if the Xiao family went bankrupt.
There's no point in me ignoring him.
Is it possible that he wants to rob it by force?"
Helian Chen: “It’s possible.
There was never any woman around him.
Although he is a little cold, he is very capable.
He comes after you, most likely wanting to marry you.
To be honest, if you and your brother-in-law don't have a good relationship.
I'm in favor of you being with him.
I started learning boxing when I was a child, and he taught me a lot.
He’s a good master.”
He Xiyan tilted her head and stared at him with a sneer.
"If your brother-in-law knew that you were helping an outsider to steal his girl, do you think he would break your legs?"
Helian Chen didn't care, "It's impossible to break my legs.
Given that he is in a wheelchair, he can’t outrun me.”
He Xiyan took out two silver needles at some point and stabbed Helian Chen when he was completely unprepared.
Helian Chen's eyes widened instantly, his body fell limply on the back seat, and he asked in shock, "Sister, what are you doing?
Why can’t I move?”
He Xiyan glanced at him with a half-smile and warned, "Remember, your brother-in-law can't outrun you now.
But he still has me.
As for you, just don't do anything petty.
I turned a blind eye.
If you don’t behave, hehe…”
“I can let you try it, too.
What is it like to be in a wheelchair like your brother-in-law is?"
He Xiyan glanced at his legs with a chill.
That sneer made Helian Chen's scalp tingle.
Emma, this sister is simply a devil.
He didn't do anything, but she guessed what he was thinking.
That’s right, he felt that his brother-in-law’s legs were crippled and he was not worthy of his sister.
He intends to bring her together with Zhuang Yan.
But the prerequisite is that they are not in a good relationship.
What's more, he didn't do anything, he just said one sentence.
Why is my sister so sensitive?
……
Zhuang Yan kept his eyes fixed on the two of them.
Watched them get in the car and watched He Xiyan drive away.
Only after her car disappeared did Zhuang Yan withdraw his gaze.
Then he opened his palms.
There was a flame mark the size of a peanut on his palm.
The mark was lifelike, as if it was carved in the palm of your hand.
This mark appeared inexplicably after he became an adult.
When it first appeared, it was only the size of a soybean and seemed to be there and not there.
Grandpa said that this mark will appear on every man in the Zhuang family when he reaches adulthood.
This is a curse placed on the banker's ancestors by a wizard.
Passed down from generation to generation.
The wife that a man from the banker's family marries must be chosen based on the mark on his palm.
No matter what the other person looks like, their age, or their family background.
As long as this flame chooses its own master.
Then the flame will show the other person's name.
Guide them to find each other.
The closer you are to the other person, the darker the flame will be, and it may even get bigger.
The owner of this mark usually possesses special abilities that ordinary people cannot possess.
For example, being able to predict destiny, or having special skills.
As long as she becomes one with the owner chosen by the mark, her supernatural powers will be transferred to him.
The reason why the Zhuang family has remained prosperous for so long is that every head of the family chooses a wife with outstanding abilities.
It started when this mark appeared on his palm.
He never took his grandfather's words to heart and always felt that he was fooling him.
This kind of thing seemed very mysterious to him.
It's like being in a movie.
If people really had superpowers, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
But some time ago.
The mark on his palm felt inexplicably hot, as if it was burning, and he felt as if his palm was about to be cooked.
The heat lasted for a whole week.
Even if he was given an IV drip or applied ice, he couldn't lower the burning temperature in his palms.
It was not until the flame mark on the palm of his hand changed into a person's name that the temperature slowly dropped.
He Xiyan!
The name appeared on his palm for a whole day, and then changed into a flame mark.
Then the flame grew a little bit every day.
It has grown from the size of a soybean to the size of a peanut.
Grandpa said that the mark showed the name of the person shown.
The mark will grow bigger day by day, and at the same time the mark will also be transferred.
It eventually moves to the heart.
His life is tied to the person chosen by the Mark of Fire.
He cannot touch the woman chosen by the mark, otherwise he will die.
The mark will disappear only after having sex with the person chosen by the mark.
From now on, he will not be bound by the mark.
He had heard the name He Xiyan from Helian Yu many years ago.
From the moment this name appeared on his palm, he came to China and secretly observed He Xiyan.
The closer he got to her, the darker and bigger the mark on his palm became...
At that time he knew that He Xiyan was the person he was looking for.
It’s a pity that He Xiyan is already married, Xiao Mohan’s wife, and has a son.
He also resisted at first.
But in order to avoid being bound by the curse in the future, he had to accept everything about her.
After several secret investigations, it was discovered that she had a hidden side that was unknown to the public.
Medicine and martial arts.
Beneath the notorious and arrogant appearance, there is actually something hidden that is unknown to the public.
Tsk, he is indeed the person chosen by the Mark of Fire, a man of great talent.
I wonder if she has any secrets that he doesn't know?
He was looking forward to what her hidden supernatural power was.
……
night.
When He Xiyan was giving acupuncture to Xiao Mohan, Helian Chen was watching from the side with a look of surprise.
"Sister, can you cure my brother-in-law's leg with this silver needle?"
He Xiyan: "I don't like to be disturbed when I'm treating.
You better shut your mouth.
Otherwise I don't mind sealing your mouth."
When Helian Chen thought about how he was knocked down by her with two injections at noon, he immediately shut his mouth.
Oh, why is this sister so unkind?
In country H, he has always been praised and surrounded by people.
Others have always been careful to please him.
But in front of my sister, I can't even say a few more words!
Heart plug!
He Xiyan was concentrating on giving acupuncture to Xiao Mohan. At this time, Helian Chen received a call from his father.
Helian Yu: "I'm in the imperial capital, where are you?"
