Chapter 137 The Black Cat Crawles into the Blanket
"Heh, apologize? I don't accept that, Young Master Chen. Aren't you tired of constantly apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. What you need to do is let her know where she went wrong!"
"Godmother, it's getting dark. If we don't go back soon, Aunt Wu and An'an will be worried."
"Okay, the driver is already waiting at the door. Tell him to drive slowly on the way back and give my regards to Sister Wu."
Yunxia smiled and nodded in agreement, waving goodbye to Feng Jingling. However, as soon as she turned around, Chen Feier grabbed her wrist.
“Auntie, she’s the thief. Look, here’s the evidence. Isn’t this violet bracelet yours?” She said, raising her head and looking determined.
Feng Jingling stepped forward, separated the two, gently held Yun Xia's wrist, and said with concern, "It's all red, little butterfly, does it hurt?"
Someone shook their head to indicate that it didn't hurt at all!
"Concubine..."
Lan Ling suppressed her anger and said, "My goddaughter is here to pay New Year's visits, so what's wrong with her godmother giving her a small gift? Fei'er, you must remember that your surname is Chen, not Feng. Who the Feng family gives their things to is none of your business!"
These words were quite harsh. An ordinary person would have stopped while they were ahead, but Chen Feier was stubborn. "Auntie, you can't protect her just because she's your goddaughter. The violet bracelet is worth tens of thousands of yuan. If she steals a needle when she's young, she'll steal gold when she's older. At this rate, she might commit a heinous crime in the future. It would be better to send her to the police station now and give her a good education for a few years."
The speaker was acting crazy, and the listener was speechless. Yun Xia shook her head and said helplessly, "Young man, listen to my advice, take her to the hospital for a check-up. If you wait too long, it may be too late to cure her."
"Yunxia, what do you mean by that... Waaah!"
"Auntie, Miss Xiaxia, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not educating Fei'er well. Please forgive me. In a few days, I'll take her back to Fengcheng and let her homeroom teacher discipline her properly!"
Upon hearing the word "homeroom teacher," the girl's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her brother, shaking her head repeatedly in refusal. Ultimately, a woman's strength was no match for a man's, and Yun Xia looked up slightly as she watched him being dragged upstairs.
"Xiaxia, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
"It's alright. Having a little 'treasure' at home makes it a bit more 'lively,' doesn't it? It's getting dark, so I'll be going now."
Hmph, luckily I have the spatial ability, so I can put the ring into someone's pocket remotely, otherwise this situation would be much harder to resolve.
While sitting in the car, Yunxia pondered why Lanling was so tolerant of Chen Feier. Was it because she couldn't resist Uncle Feng's wishes? Not entirely. Two-thirds of the credit for the Feng family's business success was due to her.
Could it be... a shift in family conflict? Having lacked love for many years, Feng Jingling is quite critical of her parents. If an inconsiderate and troublesome guest comes to the house, the focus of the conflict will automatically shift, and the relationship between mother and son will naturally ease.
Having figured everything out, Yunxia nodded knowingly, told the driver to stop at the intersection, bought two jin of fried dough twists and three jin of twisted fried dough sticks, and hurried home.
"They're finally back. If they hadn't come back, we would have sent people to the Feng family to look for them."
Yunxia puffed out her cheeks and chewed on a crunchy twisted dough stick. "Aunt Wu, can I just disappear into thin air? Aunt Lan hasn't seen me for a long time, so she kept me company and chatted with me until it got dark before letting me go."
"Hehe!"
*Pfft!* The girl was so startled that she spat out crumbs of fried dough twists all over the floor. She wiped her mouth and asked blankly, "Jiang Chao, why are you back today?"
That shouldn't be the case. Every year I stay until the sixth or seventh day of the Lunar New Year before coming back!
"Hmph, I can come back whenever I want. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. If you're just eating dry fried dough twists, people will think the Jiang family doesn't feed you!"
"He must have been bullied in Chestnut Village. Look at him, covered in black smoke, speaking with a sharp tongue." Yun Xia raised an eyebrow, turned and went into the kitchen, making a tactical retreat.
At the dinner table, Jiang An, with his sharp eyes, noticed the bracelet on the girl's wrist and asked in surprise, "Sister Xiaxia, what a beautiful bracelet!"
"Oh, this is..."
"I've lived in the Jiang family for so long, and I've never seen you recognize a godmother!" After saying that, she took a big bite of the steamed bun, clearly very angry.
"Godparents, godparents, why add the word 'god' in front? I've long considered the Jiang family as my own, so there's no need to add the word 'god'."
These words struck a chord with Wu Lifang. She picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl. "Xiaxia is right. Achao, be nicer. Don't bring your country bumpkin attitude to the city."
After she said that, Jiang Chao realized that something was wrong with him. He pursed his lips, lowered his head to eat, and stopped talking nonsense.
That night, Yunxia, lying in bed, shone a flashlight on her bracelet; the translucent purple was quite beautiful.
"Good heavens, a piece of jade, after being polished by a craftsman, can sell for over 100,000 yuan. My savings from years of hard work are not even worth as much as a bracelet."
She clicked her tongue a few times, put the bracelet into her spatial storage, covered herself with the blanket, and drifted off to sleep. In her dream, a warm and soft object slipped into the blanket. The girl frowned slightly, turned over, and continued to sleep.
The next day, what woke her was not the glaring sunlight, nor the chirping of sparrows, but a faint touch on her cheek.
Open your eyes and meet the golden cat's eyes!
Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!
"Little Black, when did you come in?"
I turned to look at the door and sure enough, it was a crack open. I was speechless. Had that darn cat taken a bath before getting into bed?
She got up, dressed, and, holding the soft, innocent-looking little black dog, knocked on the door next door.
"You're disturbing my sleep so early in the morning. You'd better have something important to say!"
Yunxia raised an eyebrow, pointed to the black cat in her arms, and said resentfully, "Isn't the cat bed in your room? How did it end up in mine!"
"It has four legs, it can go wherever it wants, what's it to us?"
Little Jiang An, peeking out, teased, "Brother is lying, shame on you! You were the one who locked the door from the inside to keep Xiao Hei out. Ouch, don't hit my head, it hurts!"
"Jiang Chao, why won't you let Xiao Hei go home?"
"Hehe, how does it feel to have your cat crawl into your bed? Have you thought about where it stepped yesterday? Maybe on the roof, maybe in the swept yard, maybe in the trash can at the alley entrance, maybe..."
"That's enough, stop talking! I give up, okay?"
After saying that, he put Xiao Hei down, pushed it into the house, turned around and went into the house to change the sheets, and secretly made a decision that he would lock the door from the inside when he slept from now on.
Lying on its side, Xiao Hei leaped forward, only to be caught by Jiang Chao mid-air and forcibly stuffed into the cat bed to keep the bewildered Xiao Bai company.
He glanced at the two cats grooming each other, snorted, left his sidebed, finished his breakfast, and, carrying gifts and special ointment, went to the Liu family to pay a New Year's visit.
"Gu Xun, what are you doing here?" After putting down the gifts, she glanced at the boy peeling an apple on the sofa and asked in surprise.
"Oh, you two know each other? Young man Gu, you're quite something. He's the one who founded 'Shengxun'. When I first came to Jiangcheng, I asked him to do a few things for me, and we got to know each other after a while!"
Getting things done? That makes sense. Everyone knows Gu Xun has a wide network of connections. He took the half-eaten apple and nibbled on it.
"We're not related at all, we've only known each other for a short time, and yet you're already visiting to offer New Year's greetings!"
Aren't you the same?
"I'm different; I'm here to talk business!"
"secret!"
"I'm a major shareholder of Shengxun, are you sure you want to keep this from me?"
"Let's find a place later and have a good talk. Leave some for me."
