Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Ancestor Who Had Serious Business to Attend to Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Ancestor Who Had Serious Business to Attend to Jiangli excitedly ran back and forth, utterly oblivious to Xia Xin’s inner turmoil.
Two hours later, she had spent over a hundred thousand yuan.
Smart locks, smart toilets, smart trash cans…
She bought so many things Xia Xin had never even seen before.
Seeing that she was about to continue shopping, Xia Xin grabbed her hand with a bitter face and pleaded, “Ancestor, please, let’s not buy any more. Don’t forget, we still owe Boss Cao more than six million! Over six million!”
If they continued spending like this, not to ntion repaying the debt, they would probably quickly run out of cash.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli paused, “Did we spend a lot?”
Xia Xin was almost in tears, “What else do you think? Ancestor!”
They bought a bunch of expensive stuff that would be delivered to their door the next day!!!
He really wanted to grab Jiangli by the shoulders and ask her if she had lost her mind!
Jiangli saw the pain on his face and recalled that she had indeed bought a lot of things. She then uttered an “Oh,” “Alright, then let’s not buy anymore. It’s perfect timing; we have important matters to attend to.”
Xia Xin hastily agreed, “Yes, yes, yes, let’s go take care of the important matters—-what important matters?”
He was a bit confused, his mind overwheld by the massive amount of money they had spent.
Jiangli gave him a disdainful look, “Silly, hasn’t Wang Yao sent you a ssage yet?”
“…Oh, right!”
Xia Xin suddenly rembered and quickly checked his phone to find that Wang Yao had indeed sent a ssage.
An hour and a half ago.
Wang Yao said he had found a temporary place to stay and urged them to co over later, because he was afraid.
Xia Xin had been busy with paynts and hadn’t noticed the ssage. He hurriedly replied: Okay, we’ll be right there.
After sending the ssage, he looked at Jiangli and asked, “Abbot, he sent an address over. Shall we go?”
Jiangli humd in agreent, “No rush, we can walk over slowly, there’s plenty of ti.”
Xia Xin glanced at the address; conveniently, it was at a nearby hotel.
He guessed that Wang Yao had deliberately chosen it, probably fearing that if it was even slightly further away, they wouldn’t make it in ti to save him?
Xia Xin muttered to himself and leisurely walked with Jiangli towards their destination.
At the sa ti.
Wang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Xia Xin’s text.
Since Xia Xin hadn’t replied for a while, he was wondering whether the other party had seen his ssage and was considering sending another one.
Now he could finally rest easy.
Wang Yao had just put his phone down, planning to take a shower after running around all day and getting sweaty.
However, as soon as he put the phone down, it rang again.
Wang Yao picked it up to see a call from his mother, Xie Yanfang.
Wang Yao answered, “Hello, Mom—”
“Son, where are you? Your dad and I just got back and we didn’t see you,” Xie Yanfang, who had gone on a trip with her husband, had returned hoping to surprise Wang Yao and hadn’t inford him in advance.
But when they opened the door, the house was empty.
Wang Yao rubbed his forehead, “Mom, didn’t I tell you? I’m out playing for a while and won’t be coming back temporarily.”
“Why aren’t you coming back?” Xie Yanfang asked urgently, “If it’s nothing special, son, you co back right away. Your father and I hurried back because of your marriage. Aunt Zhao has found you a girl, a pretty decent one. Hurry back and et her. I have a hunch it will work out; that ‘peach blossom’ Talisman is infallible!”
Hearing about the ‘peach blossom’ Talisman, Wang Yao felt a mix of helplessness and anger, “Mom, that Talisman is useless! It’s not a ‘peach blossom’ charm at all; it’s a Talisman that could have killed ! You have no idea what I’ve been through lately, and you’re still talking about it!”
