Chapter 342

Leng Zexi coughed lightly, trying to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

His sharp gaze slowly moved down, finally stopping on Ningning, who was still sobbing softly.

Looking at the poor little child with tear marks on his face, Leng Zexi couldn't help but feel a little guilty and pity, and secretly made up his mind to comfort the frightened child first.

He leaned down slightly and said to Ningning in a soft voice: "Ningning, Daddy really knows he was wrong and shouldn't have lied to you."

"Dad promises you that I will exchange the silver coins for you right now, okay? One silver coin is worth one hundred dollars."

As he spoke, Leng Zexi's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

After all, his original plan was to spend the coins quietly when no one was paying attention, so that even if the secret was exposed, he would not be caught.

Who would have thought that after all the calculations, this little fool Ningning would actually discover the trick so quickly.

However, what Leng Zexi never expected was that Ning Ning did not give up easily just because he admitted his mistake and paid back the money.

His eyes were still red and tears were about to fall. He shook his head and said, "No, pay me back, and you have to compensate me for my mental damages!"

Hearing this, Leng Zexi was startled, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he asked with a smile: "My little ancestor, where did you learn these words? What about mental damages?"

Faced with Leng Zexi's questioning, Ningning had no intention of backing down, but cried even harder.

He hugged Xia Ruo'an tightly beside him, crying and choking, saying: "Don't worry about how I know!"

"Anyway, if you don't want to compensate me for my mental damages today, I will immediately run and tell my grandparents, my uncles, and tell them that you not only cheated me of my pocket money, but also bullied a child. I'll see how they deal with you then!"

Ningning raised her head and looked at Leng Zexi fiercely with her red and swollen eyes, as if she would rush out of the door and complain to the elders in the next second if he dared to refuse in the slightest.

“Grandpa and grandma already know.” Sui Sui added.

When Leng Zexi saw Xia Ruoan nodded in agreement, he no longer dared to hesitate or refuse.

He nodded hurriedly and replied, "Okay, I promise you." There was a hint of helplessness and eagerness in his tone.

At this time, Ningning, who was standing by, saw Leng Zexi nod and stopped crying immediately. He raised his little hand and gently wiped away the tears that had not yet dried on his face with the back of his hand.

Then he said, "Pay back the money!"

The voice was clear and loud, as if the speaker was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.

"Sui Sui has counted them for me. There are fifteen silver coins in total."

"So, you have to give me fifteen hundred-dollar bills. Oh, and five hundred dollars for emotional damages."

Ningning blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Leng Zexi seriously, as if waiting for him to give a satisfactory answer.

However, perhaps because she was too nervous or excited, Ningning suddenly forgot how many hundred-yuan bills she should ask Leng Zexi to give her.

So she turned around and asked Suisui beside her for help: "Suisui, how many 100-yuan bills should Daddy give me?"

When Sui Sui heard his brother's question, he first looked at Nian Nian beside him, and both of them showed a hint of disgust in their eyes.

Then, as if they had telepathy, they rolled their eyes at the same time and answered in unison: "Twenty."

"Yes, yes, that's twenty."

After Ning Ning got the answer, she nodded repeatedly to confirm, then looked at Leng Zexi again and said seriously: "Dad, don't forget, you need to give me twenty one-hundred-yuan bills."

"Okay, I promise, I'll give you twenty." Leng Zexi nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Bai Yao, who had been listening outside the yard, could no longer suppress the laughter in his heart and burst out laughing.

He was seen smiling and looking with interest at Leng Zexi's family who were making a mess in the yard.

"Oh my, I never expected this!"

"Leng Zexi, you have fallen to such a state that you even take the pitiful pocket money of a child. You are really amazing!"

Bai Yao raised the corners of his mouth, not trying to hide the smile on his face, and his words were full of joking.

"You have finally come to this day. You failed to steal a chicken and ended up losing a handful of rice. Not only did you not make a penny, you even lost a full 500 yuan in vain." Bai Yao said as he shook his head helplessly and laughed.

At this moment, Bai Yao was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. His body was leaning forward and backward, as if the only sound in the whole world was his exaggerated laughter.

He covered his stomach which was aching from laughing so hard and continued to tease, "It's really miserable for Leng Zexi to be your son."

Facing Bai Yao's unbridled laughter, Leng Zexi's face instantly turned gloomy. He stared at the other person with his cold eyes and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get lost."

However, Bai Yao seemed to have not heard Leng Zexi's words at all. He still stood there with a grin on his face and refused to move an inch.

He held the door frame with one hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so fierce. I came here this time because I really have something to discuss with my sister-in-law."

"Besides, you have no conscience and are a black heart." Bai Yao looked at her and said.

At this moment, Ning Ning was unhappy: "Uncle Bai, you are not allowed to say that about my father. My father is not a black-hearted person."

The little guy was obviously a little angry, with his mouth pouted high and his hands on his hips, looking cute and angry.

Black-hearted people feel bad when they hear this, Daddy must be fine.

"That's right, Uncle Bai, if you say that again, you will no longer be welcome in our home." Sui Sui also said.

"I won't pick vegetables for you." Niannian also said.

Bai Yao raised his eyebrows as he looked at the three little ones standing in front of Leng Zexi. They really were united in facing the outside world.

They were just attacking their father together, but now he said something bad about their father and turned against him, an outsider.

"Okay, I won't say anything about your dad. How can you be so cute? I want to steal you and take you home to raise." Bai Yao looked at them and said.

"Uncle Bai, apologize, you have to apologize to our father." Ningning looked at him and said.

"Otherwise I won't let you in." Ningning said seriously.

Bai Yao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Your father cheated you out of money, and you're still defending him?"

"Dad apologized and paid back the money, so he's still a good dad." Ningning nodded, "A good dad is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them."

After hearing this, Leng Zexi rubbed Ningning's little head, and looked at Bai Yao with a slightly raised mouth, showing off blatantly.
