Xiao Xiaofan came back to their house with plenty of toys. Seeing Xiao Xiaofan’s happy face, Xiao Qingyan just couldn’t help being angry.
His son was still lying in bed because of the injury, but Xiao Xiaofan just had hung out with Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng and enjoyed delicious dishes! Xiao Jingting had said that he would lecture this little fool, but it turned out to he just let his son enjoy nice food and have more toys.
Seeing Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Xiaofan hid behind Xiao Jingting hastily.
Though Xiao Xiaofan was not that clever, he still knew how to seek advantages and avoid harms by nature. And he knew that Xiao Qingyan was not a man to be trifled with, so he just got vigilant.
Xiao Qingyan stared at Xiao Jingting and said gravely, “What a good mood you’re in, third brother! Haven’t you promised to lecture your son? Is this how you lecture him?”
“I do have lectured him, big brother. I told him, if he bullies anyone again, he will never have the chance to enjoy the delicious food and funny toys. He’s scared, you see, he’s even hiding himself from others,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Qingyan showed a false smile and said, “How thoughtful you are, third brother.”
“Just so so. It takes effort to teach kids.” Xiao Jingting sighed.
By hearing that, Xiao Qingyan’s face distorted.
Leaving Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan went back to their house.
Stared at Xiao Jingting, who was sitting in the bed and rubbing his feet lazily, Xu Muan felt wordless.
“I saw some big firms in the street today,” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan nodded, “Yeah. Desert City is superior to countryside, there are so many artifacts and talismans in the store here, but they’re just too expensive.”
In the past, he was too poor to enter such a place. Even when he nerved himself to enter the store sometimes, the servers there had no desire to receive him by seeing his shabby look. Sometimes he was even driven out by some of the servers, and was derisively told that such a place was not for a person like him.
By experiencing that for some times, Xu Muan could merely stand outside the firm, looking at the dazzling colorful posters and banners of advertisement longingly.
“I still have 30 or 40 thousand taels of silver here, let’s check it someday.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan surprised, “Why didn’t you do that today?”
Xiao Jingting replied ashamedly, “As you said, they are big firms, anyway. Things there can be expensive. If we brought Xiaofan there and I could not afford whatever Xiaofan wanted, it can be embarrassing.”
Xu Muan felt speechless. So that’s how it was…
“You’ve offended the big brother today,” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting replied lazily, “What do you fear? I’ve offended him already before. But I think it’s strange that, big brother used to mention the Bifeng Academy a lot and be proud of that, but recently he has mentioned less of it.”
“Maybe he has had a tough time there,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Jingting nodded, and thought in mind: the Bifeng Academy is equivalent to an elite school in his previous life. Although it’s famous and thus honors its members, but inevitably, there’s strife, too. In his previous life, it’s not uncommon to hear students at Tsinghua and Peking universities commit suicide.
“What do you know about that?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“Your big brother once pursued a miss of a noble family, Ouyang Jing, and now Ouyang Jing has been together with a man in the Academy with level 7 of Qi Practice, and she told him she was pestered by your big brother. Then, that man has asked someone to punish your big brother for her, which makes it hard for your big brother to get along in the Academy.”
“Fortunately, the Academy has its rules there. Although your big brother was targeted, those people dare not to go too far, and everything will be OK when the dust settles.”
Rubbing his chin, Xiao Jingting said, “No wonder big brother hasn’t mentioned the Academy recently.” It turned out that he had had a tough time there.
Staring at Xu Muan, Xiao Jingting said with a twinkle in his eyes, “Alright, stopping talking about him. Let’s go to bed.”
Looking into Xiao Jingting’s shiny black eyes, Xu Muan couldn’t help blushing.
…………
“Third childe, some guests are visiting you.” When Xiao Jingting got up, a servant came in and reported.
“Who are they?” asked Xiao Jingting.
“The childe of Sun family, Sun Qi and the childe of Zheng family, Zheng Liming,” said the servant.
Xiao Jingting showed a helpless facial expression. The coming ones were the bad friends of the previous Xiao Jingitng! As they said, a good guy always has three fellows. So do a dandy! The difference is, the fellows of a good guy are indeed friends in need, while the fellows of a dandy are bad friends who will escape when he is in distress.
Shaking his head, Xu Muan said, “Finally, they come! Though a bit later than I expected.”
In a big family, there are always some rotten apples who rest on their laurels and live a life of drinking and mistresses. The previous Xiao Jingting, Sun Qi and Zheng Liming were all that kind of person.
The difference was, Xiao Jingting was a direct descendant of the Xiao family, while Sun Qi and Zheng Liming, belonging to Sun family and Zheng family, were just collateral relatives of the Xiao family, so they had much lower position and inferior treatment than Xiao Jingting. And whenever they hung out together, almost every time Xiao Jingting was the one paying the bills.
When the original Xiao Jingting was in distress, he once put down his vanity and sought help from those two, but just obtained no response.
Rubbing his fingers, Xiao Jingting said, “Since they have left us in distress at that time, so shameless they’re by flattering us now.”
Xu Muan smiled. It’s just so normal for this world to adore the powerful one while look down upon the weak one.
“Do you want to receive them?” asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting shrugged and said, “They’re coming, anyway, we have to manage to send them away.”
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan walked out. Seeing Xiao Jingting, Sun Qi was very excited, “Brother Xiao, haven’t seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much!”
Xiao Jingting gave him a titter, “Really? Why haven’t you gone to Mound Village to see me?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
