Chapter 83
Seeing Xiao Xiaofan was so rascally, Liu Xian was compelled to give him a red envelope.
After receiving the red envelope, Xiao Xiaofan said without thinking, “Here are two people of us.”
Liu Xian helplessly gave one more red envelope to Xiao Xiaodong.
Since they had achieved their goal, Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan went back with satisfaction.
Xiao Xiaodong counted the money in the red envelope and complained unhappily, “Only twenty taels in it.”
“This granny is so mean!” Xiao Xiaofan said while wagging his head.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “Yeah!”
“But, twenty taels are enough to buy a lot of sweets.” Xiao Xiaofan got happy again.
…………
Xiao Xiaodong was holding Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and they were walking back together. Holding a large amount of money, Xiao Xiaodong felt anxious, even he’s in the Xiao family now. Therefore, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Xiao Xiaofan was tightly holding his red envelope and trotting behind Xiao Xiaodong.
“Where are you going?” Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan were stopped by someone at the door of their house.
Seeing they were Chen Xijin and Chen Yueling, Xiao Xiaofan pouted unconsciously.
Chen Xijin and Chen Yueling were the children of Xiao Yi, a distant cousin of Xiao Jingting. The original Xiao Jingting had some affection towards this distant cousin, and Xiao Yi sometimes came to stay in the Xiao family. Xiao Jingting then extended his love to Xiao Yi’s two children and particularly loved them, and those who didn’t know the truth might identity Xiao Yi’s children with Xiao Jingting’s own children.
Though Xiao Xiaodong was precocious, he also had a hunger for father’s love after all, and seeing that Chen Xijin and Chen Yueling obviously had nothing to do with Xiao Jingting but could get Xiao Jingting’s favor, while he and his little brother were undoubtedly Xiao Jingting’s real sons but receive no care from Xiao Jingting, he was very jealous.
Though Xiao Xiaodong was very young, he had a very reserved manner, even though he was dissatisfied with something, he never showed it on his face. But it’s different in Xiao Xiaofan. Chen Xijin had once showed off the gift Xiao Jingting bought to him to Xiao Xiaofan, Xiao Xiaofan felt aggrieved at that and pounced on Chen Xijin to grab the gift. As a result, Xiao Xiaofan succeeded in grabbing it unexpectedly.
But Xiao Xiaofan wasn’t pleased for too long. Chen Xijin split on him to Xiao Jingting, and Xiao Jingting punished him violently, and even Xu Muan was punished along with him. Since then, Xiao Xiaofan had nightmares about Xiao Jingting, and he just hid when he saw Xiao Jingting, which lasted for half a month. However, Xiao Xiaofan had a poor memory and just forgot all about this very soon.
Chen Xijin stared at Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong in confusion. Before they came, Xiao Yi had told Chen Xijin and Chen Yueling that Xiao Jingting had become different since his coming back this time, so had Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong. But Chen Xijin thought that what his mother said was exaggerated, and wondered how different could Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong these two little poor beggars be.
When Chen Xijin met the two brothers, he felt that his mother was right. Chen Xijin looked at Xiao Xiaofan’s clothes, and found that it was really gorgeous and nice.
Children always like glamorous things. Xiao Xiaofan’s clothes had good-quality texture, and they were also embroidered with colorful designs, which made it look very festive.
With recalling that his father had recently spent all the money on the elixirs for breakthrough in practice, and then suffered a failure at the breakthrough, thus made the whole family suffer economic troubles, Chen Xijin felt quite jealous at once.
The sharp-eyed Chen Yueling caught a glimpse of the red envelope in Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and said, “What are you holding? Just show me.”
Xiao Xiaofan pulled his hand back and raised his head, “I won’t give it to you.”
“Uncle Jingting will come to punish you later if you act like this,” Chen Yueling said proudly.
Xiao Xiaofan snorted and said, “My father no longer loves you now, but loves Xiaofan most. Xiaofan have helped father finish a great task just now, so he will never punish me.”
“Little fool, you’re just daydreaming.” Chen Yueling was looking at the red envelope in Xiao Xiaofan’s hand jealously, and then pounced on him to grab it.
For some time, Xiao Xiaofan had taken the food made by the spiritual spring. Though he had got little increase in his spiritual energy, he had obtained a brute force. So, he easily flung Chen Yueling to the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Xijin shouted, “Little fool, how dare you push my sister?”
Xiao Xiaofan said in panic, “I wasn’t pushing her hard! She did it herself. It’s none of my business.”
Chen Xijin’s shouts drew Xiao Jingting out.
“Uncle Jingting, he bullied us.” Chen Xijin pointed to Xiao Xiaofan and said.
“Nonsense, since Xiaofan is weak and sickly, he can only be bullied by others; he never bullies anyone,” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan lowed his head, smiled quietly and thought, before, Xiaofan had been indeed weak and sickly, but since Xiao Jingting became a different one as the present him, Xiaofan was well fed and getting better in his physical fitness.
Xiao Yi’s face suddenly changed. Xiao Jingting rubbed his forehead. He would have forgot this woman if she hadn’t visited. Sometimes, he dared not recall all those things done by the original body owner. But, as those people who known by the original body owner appeared one by one, he had to recall all those things.
Xiao Jingting couldn’t understand how the mind of the original body owner worked, given that he didn’t love his own children but loved the children of others very much.
This time, Xiao Yi was coming to complain of being hard up. Xiao Jingting was just tired of such things, and told Xiao Yi that he’s up to his ass in debt now, and if he couldn’t pay it next month, he would be done for, therefore no one could help her but herself.
Xiao Yi cried for a long time, and seeing Xiao Jingting unmoved, she was immediately disappointed.
“Jingting, my son won’t lie to you,” said Xiao Yi.
Xiao Jingting said stonily, “Cousin, my sons are also very reasonable and obedient, they won’t make trouble for no reason.”
Xiao Yi smiled reluctantly, and picked up Chen Yueling from the ground. Hearing what Xiao Jingting said, Chen Yueling was kind of angry, “Uncle, you are guarding a little fool and don’t help me. I hate you.”
Xiao Jingting smiled, “Go home and act girly to your daddy.” What a foolish girl, dared to threaten him. The original body owner had favored her, taken her seriously, and coaxed her once she acted girly and cutesy, but he was not as foolish as the original body owner.
“Yueling, don’t talk nonsense.” Xiao Yi reprimanded her, but glanced at Xiao Jingting with grievance in eyes at the same time.
Seeing Xiao Yi didn’t help her, Chen Yueling snorted with anger.
Xiao Yi smiled at Xiao Jingting awkwardly and said, “Sorry, she’s childish.”
Xiao Jingting smiled, “It’s OK. My Xiaofan and Xiaodong are very reasonable, and I have nothing to worry about them.” Xiao Jingitng reached out his hand and rubbed Xiao Xiaofan’s hairy head.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face distorted.
Chen Yueling stared at Xiao Jingting with widened and hurtful eyes.
Xiao Jingting avoided the little girl’s hurtful eyes.
