Sun Li knelt on the ground.
All he could think of were two words: Finished!!
Jin Qiaolan finally realized she was scared, forcing a smile that was worse than crying, “Zhou Yun, we are family.”
Zhou Yun held Lingling tightly, “From now on, we are no longer family; we are enemies!”
Jin Qiaolan’s eyes widened, “It’s really over!”
The police arrived quickly and took both of them away.
Zhou Yun needed to go to the police station to file a report and asked the officers to stop for a moment at Antique Street.
At that time, Lin Xi had finished a bag of pig ears, two bags of vegetables, and three bags of pig trotters.
She yawned and calculated with her fingers, “Zhou Yun’s matter should be resolved.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhou Yun walked over, “Master, thank you for your reminder, otherwise, Lingling…”
Lin Xi patted her shoulder, offering comfort, “Alright, alright, don’t cry, it’s all over now.”
Zhou Yun wiped away her tears. She wanted to tell the master not to bother watching the stall, but then she noticed that all the braised food was sold out.
Lin Xi explained, “Zhang Dama helped weigh it; go back and check if you received the right amount of money, I ate the rest of the pig ears.”
Zhou Yun laughed through her tears, “Thank you, Master, from now on, I’ll buy all your braised food.”
“Alright.”
Lin Xi rubbed her stomach and took out a peace talisman for her, “Children who fall into water are easily frightened; put this peace talisman under their pillow, they’ll sleep soundly and won’t have nightmares.”
Zhou Yun clutched the talisman tightly and bowed deeply, “Master is my benefactor.”
“Alright, alright, go now, your daughter needs you.” Lin Xi waved her hand and walked home.
She earned five thousand today; after donating half, she had two thousand five hundred left.
After deducting the money spent on odds and ends, she still had twenty thousand.
If she were in the village, she would already be a small rich woman.
Lin Xi encouraged herself, “A wonderful day ends; tomorrow will be another good day.”
There was a row of cars parked in front of her house; she immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to leave.
She was wrong; tomorrow wouldn’t be a good day.
Fu Jingyao appeared out of nowhere, staring at her expressionlessly, “Lin Xi, you’ve been hard to find.”
Lin Xi chuckled nervously, “Mr. Fu, what brings you to this small place?”
Fu Jingyao remained silent with a cold face, walking toward her step by step.
The bodyguards beside him exchanged glances and spread out in a radial pattern, tightly surrounding her.
Lin Xi looked at the three layers of bodyguards and her heart skipped a beat.
Good heavens, Fu Jingyao came with malicious intent.
What was he going to do?
Was he planning to take revenge for that bite?
Comparing her small arms and legs with the burly bodyguards, Lin Xi gave up on the idea of fighting.
She could fight ghosts, but not humans.
One against fifty, forget it.
Lin Xi’s face changed color repeatedly. Fu Jingyao asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Lin Xi crossed her arms in front of her chest, “I’m thinking… when you hit someone, can you be a little gentler?”
Fu Jingyao took a deep breath, “I never hit people.”
Lin Xi’s hanging heart dropped.
He didn’t hit people but brought so many black-clad bodyguards to scare her.
She said lightly, “Oh, it’s nothing, I’m going to sleep.”
Lin Xi was about to slip away.
Fu Jingyao instinctively grabbed her wrist.
He usually disliked women getting close to him, but just now he had taken the initiative to hold Lin Xi’s hand.
Now he couldn’t let go, and he couldn’t keep holding it.
Maintaining that position, Fu Jingyao dragged Lin Xi into the car, the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Fu Jingyao’s tone was harsh, “Lin Xi, come with me; my grandfather wants to see you.”
Lin Xi wanted to resist, but the moment Fu Jingyao touched her, purple energy slowly flowed into her body.
She instantly felt energized.
Obtaining purple energy wasn’t limited to biting people.
Unfortunately, after getting in the car, Fu Jingyao let go of her hand and kept a distance, enough space for a third person between them.
Lin Xi glanced at the thick purple energy and sighed silently, she really wanted to take a bite.
Being in the same place as Fu Jingyao, the air was filled with the scent of purple energy.
No, it wasn’t purple energy, it was the fragrance of money.
She couldn’t bite, so Lin Xi could only stare at Fu Jingyao, feeling increasingly miserable.
Fu Jingyao was truly the son of Heaven; his body was shining with purple energy, blinding her eyes.
However, why wasn’t there any golden light of merit on him?
Logically, one had to do many good deeds to be reborn as someone with the fate of a Purple Star Emperor.
Such people were all those with great destiny, with countless merits.
Based on the intensity of Fu Jingyao’s purple energy, he couldn’t possibly have no merits at all.
Even unlucky Lin Xi had accumulated some golden light of merit.
This was truly strange.
Lin Xi continued to observe Fu Jingyao.
That face, that waist, those long legs… not to mention, her master had excellent taste.
Fu Jingyao felt a strong gaze on his face and unconsciously shifted inward.
This gaze was like the one from that day; he was afraid that this woman would pounce on him.
The journey was smooth, and the Maybach slowly drove into Shanshui Villa.
Liu, the butler in the villa, waved vigorously, “Everyone take your positions, maintain order.”
As soon as Lin Xi got out of the car, two rows of servants bowed simultaneously.
They shouted in unison, “Welcome home, Master and Miss Lin! Welcome home, Master and Miss Lin! Welcome home, Master and Miss Lin!”
They shouted it three times in a row; Lin Xi was stunned, was this the life of the rich?
Fu Jingyao walked a few steps and noticed that the person behind him wasn’t following. He turned back and glanced at Lin Xi, who was awkwardly standing in place.
He explained, “My grandparents’ wishes, you’ll get used to it.”
Liu, the butler, stepped forward, revealing eight teeth, “Miss Lin, if you don’t like it, I’ll change the welcome form next time.”
The first rule of a butler’s professional ethics was to admit mistakes and correct them; even if there were no mistakes, they should still be corrected.
Lin Xi waved her hand, “No, no, this is fine; it’s pretty good.”
She followed Fu Jingyao inside, walking across a long red carpet, entering a magnificent villa, the air filled with the scent of money.
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu stood up to greet them.
Zhang Wenxiu was very enthusiastic, pulling Lin Xi to sit down, “Wu Ma, quickly bring tea for my granddaughter.”
“Child, you’re called Lin Xi, right? These past two days must have been hard on you.”
“This boy, Fu Jingyao, can’t even recognize his own wife; we didn’t teach him well, we’re sorry to you and your master.”
Lin Xi awkwardly laughed, “Haha, I’ve had a great time these past two days, thank you, Madam, for your concern.”
Zhang Wenxiu patted her hand, “Stop calling me ‘madam’; you should call me Grandma.”
“Right, right, you should call me Grandpa too.” Fu Jianhua said with a smile, “Lin Xi, we didn’t know you were coming to Di Jing, and Master Xuan Kong didn’t tell us either.”
“If we had known you were coming, we would have had Fu Jingyao pick you up.”
Lin Xi didn’t know what to say, so she could only awkwardly laugh.
Hilarious, her master only told her about her fiancé at the last moment before he died.
She didn’t know she would come to Di Jing either.
Zhang Wenxiu signaled Wu Ma to bring a pile of snacks, “Lin Xi, have some snacks first; we’ll have dinner soon.”
Lin Xi took the tea from Wu Ma and thanked her.
Fu Jingyao’s grandparents were completely different from what she had imagined; they were so enthusiastic.
Zhang Wenxiu personally peeled an orange, “Lin Xi, eat this.”
Fu Jianhua tore open a bag of potato chips, “This, young people like to eat this.”
Liu, the butler, smiled, “Miss Lin, you are the first woman the Master brought home. I haven’t seen the old master and mistress so happy in a long time.”
Lin Xi: …
She heard the butler’s classic line, it was really awkward.
Butler, did you have to say that?
“Here you go, Lin Xi, eat this.”
“Lin Xi, eat this.”
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu kept offering Lin Xi things.
Fu Jingyao sat aside, completely ignored.
He silently peeled an orange for himself.
Hmm, sour.
Zhang Wenxiu said with a smile, “Lin Xi, your master left you a talisman.”
Lin Xi blurted out, “My master would leave me something?”
Her master didn’t even trick her, that was already good enough.
Wouldn’t this be some kind of prank talisman?
