The Master Of Spirit Plants

Chapter 84



Chapter 84

Seeing off Xiao Yi et al, Xiao Jingting was finally relieved. Xiao Jingting felt a headache when he thought of the fierce and vicious look of the little girl before she left. He remembered an old saying, ‘only a proper favor can make a man grateful’. As the original body owner spoiled the two naughty children, they held a grudge on him now! But he didn’t care about these two kids who hadn’t even grown up.

“Have you got the money?” Xiao Jingting asked Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Xiaofan patted himself on the chest and pretended to be experienced. “Father, with me doing the work, are you still worried?” asked he.

Xiao Jingting nodded with a smile, “Absolutely not. You are so capable. Of course I believe you.”

“The silver is in my brother’s hand. My brother told me the number was right. If he counted the wrong number as he is not good at arithmetic, it will be none of my business,” said Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Xiaodong glared at Xiao Xiaofan sideways, and said, “Do you think I’m as stupid as you are?”

Xiao Xiaofan flicked a disgruntled glance at Xiao Xiaodong. Holding Xiao Jingting’s thigh, he rubbed it and said with some grievance, “Father, my brother is really not good! He always says I am stupid, but I am very capable, sometimes!”

“Right. Xiaofan is very capable most times.”

With some complacency, Xiao Xiaofan raised her chin toward Xiao Xiaodong as she heard what Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Xiaodong walked on air to take out the silver note. He passed it over to Xiao Jingting and said, “Here it is, a total of two thousand taels of silver.”

Xiao Jingting took the silver note and threw it into the storage bag. “Xiaodong has counted the number,” he said, “and it can’t be wrong.”

Xiao Xiaofan argued, “Father, I acted up like crazy and grabbed her skirt. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to get the silver note.”

Xiao Jingting, “…” ‘Acted up like crazy and grabbed her skirt’?

Without noticing the look of Xiao Jingting, Xiao Xiaofan continued as he waved his hands like dancing, “Father, I also got two red envelopes, including one for my brother. My brother is so stupid! He couldn’t say a word when he met that girl. I’m so smart.”

Xiao Xiaodong, “…”

Xiao Xiaofan said to Xiao Jingting in a mysterious way, “That girl was to rob my red envelope just now. I gently pushed her, and she fell on the ground at once. She must be anaemic as she is really too weak!”

Xiao Jingting, “…” He accidentally mentioned anemia, and Xiao Xiaofan remembered the word right off.

Xiao Xiaofan bashfully took out a red envelope and handed it to Xiao Jingting. “Father, this is the red envelope.”

“How much silver?” asked Xiao Jingting.

“Twenty taels of silver,” replied Xiao Xiaofan.

Xiao Jingting touched his chin and said, “Twenty taels of silver, that’s not too much! Keep it for yourself.” Xiao Xiaofan quickly took his hand back immediately.

Xiao Jingting felt funny because Xiao Xiaofan looked like a money-grubber.

Xu Muan walked out and said, “You two haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?”

Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said, “Yes, I haven’t had it yet.”

Xiao Jingting was in a daze for a moment. His son was positive to collect the debt without having breakfast. As the father, Xiao Jingting felt embarrassed!

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Xiaofan has performed very well today. You can eat more.”

Xiao Xiaofan said in a delighted way, “Sure, I’m going to eat much.”

…………………

Xiao Yi took the children to the guest room of Xiao’s family.

“Have you borrowed any money, mother?” asked Chen Xijin eagerly. Borrowing money, in fact, was to ask Xiao Jingting for some silver. Xiao Yi had borrowed some money from Xiao Jingting several times before. She did not borrow much money every time, and Xiao Jingting agreed readily.

Xiao Yi shook her head and said, “No.”

“I’ve heard from my uncle that Xiao Jingting spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a spiritual pagoda. He is a rich man now,” said Chen Xijin in a jealous way.

Xiao Yi squinted her eyes. Xiao Jingting was really rich, but he was stingier than before.

Chen Yueling was still immersed in hating Xiao Jingting since she had been slighted by him, and she said with a hateful voice, “Uncle Xiao doesn’t want to help me, so I will turn my back on him.”

Xiao Yi felt helpless as she looked at Chen Yueling. Xiao Jingting was much different from before. Xiao Jingting would have coaxed her patiently if Chen Yueling behaved in a naughty way in front of Xiao Jingting like before. But it was not like before. It was said that Xiao Jingting doted on the little fool very much, for whom, Xiao Jingting confronted him firmly.

“You want to turn your back on him, but he is now happy to ignore you,” said Chen Xijin.

Chen Yueling blushed and said depressingly, “Uncle Xiao goes back on his word. He said clearly that he loved me the most as the most precious one.”

Xiao Yi lowered her head. Before she came, she had heard that Xiao Jingting changed a lot, and Sun Miaomiao had not asked anything from him. So, she had been prepared for the result.

Although she was prepared, Xiao Yi felt uncomfortable and unhappy. Xiao Yi had expected she was an exception for Xiao Jingting, but…

“Mother, I’ve heard that Uncle Xiao is now a level 5 Qi practitioner. Is it fake news?” asked Chen Yueling. Her father was a very strong man in Chen Yueling’s mind. Her father had failed to be promoted to be a level 4 Qi practitioner. Uncle Xiao could get a chance to be a level 5 Qi practitioner as an unambitious person, which was unbelievable!

Chen Yueling said, “Your uncle Xiao is blessed. He has been a level 5 Qi practitioner because he ate some Heaven Wealth and Land Treasure.”

Chen Yueling was more unhappy as she heard that.

“Young lady, Xiao Yi came out from Xiao Jingting’s home and it seems that she did not get anything,” A maid said to Sun Miaomiao.

Sun Miaomiao nodded and said, “Not a surprise. Xiao Jingting is different from before.” Xiao Jingting had respected her as if he was her filial grandson at that time, but he turned his back on her now. To say nothing of Xiao Yi.
