Situ Ming stood up first. "Mr. Bai, it is indeed presumptuous of me to trespass on your territory without your permission."
"snort!"
Bai Bupiao turned his face to the other side, his mustache sticking up to the sky.
Situ Ming wasn't angry. After all, capable people often have eccentricities, and besides, they had arrived at someone's home without being invited.
But there was no other way; if we didn't force our way in, we probably would never see this old man in our lifetime.
This is what the little girl said on the way.
The saying "don't see a doctor for free" sounds nice, but frankly, it means they'll only see someone they find agreeable, and if they're even slightly unhappy, they can just leave you hanging.
Faced with this situation, Situ Ming and his group had no choice but to force their way in.
Zhao Xiaoyue couldn't stand anyone giving Situ Ming a hard time.
"Hmm~"
Zhao Xiaoyue took out a gold-inlaid bone fan and pretended to fan herself while muttering to herself.
"Oh dear, why is it so hot here? It's killing me! Ugh~"
The bone fan is a treasure. The small fan surface is carved with the scene of the seven fairy maidens offering peaches to the Queen Mother of the West to celebrate her birthday. It also has the words "May your fortune be as vast as the Eastern Sea" on it, which is also the work of a master.
It's an antique that's seven or eight hundred years old; she was on guard when she came.
The bone fan swayed left and right, and Bai Butiao's eyes followed suit, glancing left and right.
"Ouch, ouch, my little darling, this thing, this thing, is it supposed to be held like this? It's going to kill me!"
The person who rushed up to Zhao Xiaoyue, hunched over, and spoke to her solicitously, was completely different from the arrogant and indifferent Bai Butiao from just moments before.
The others were also impressed. The old man was clearly a stubborn person, but the young girl had managed to subdue him with just a few words.
Zhang Xiaomeng admired the helmsman even more, and his two round eyes turned into stars.
Zhao Xiaoyue's interruption relieved Situ Ming's embarrassment.
He came seeking medical treatment, but it wouldn't be right to barge into someone's home, but if he didn't barge in, he wouldn't be able to see the person.
Grandpa can't wait any longer; he's the only family member left in the world!
Zhao Xiaoyue asked directly, "Do you want it?"
"want to!"
That's pretty direct.
The thing that Mr. Zhao would never do in his life is beat around the bush.
The masters she encountered were the same; they did whatever they wanted and never understood the meaning of beating around the bush.
"Easy!"
Zhao Xiaoyue tapped the bone fan in her palm and closed it.
"Hey, hey, hey my little darling, be gentle, be gentle!"
This is something that's thousands of years old; once it's broken, it's gone forever. He took a liking to it at first sight after the little girl took it out.
This thing is priceless!
Zhao Xiaoyue's tapping of the fan struck Bai Bupiao right on the heart.
"Go to Haishi and help me rescue someone. The check and this bone fan are yours, how about it?"
Mr. Zhao showered money down from the sky, and Bai Bu Piao, who was standing on the ground, looked up and scooped up the money with both hands.
So much money! So much money!
We're rich! We're rich!
The old man's lean, sharp eyes had turned into something resembling a dollar sign ("$").
Mr. Zhao was overjoyed.
It feels so good to throw money at people!
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"
The old man's eyes darted around, and he began to make demands, "But you have to show some sincerity, let me have a taste of sweetness!"
This little girl is practically his nemesis.
It's more than just a nemesis; it's like someone has your lifeline in their grasp!
By dinner time, Bai Bupiao had not come out of the room.
Zhang Xiaomeng asked in surprise, "Doesn't your little niece eat?"
Then he scooped up a spoonful of rice with a large spoon and stuffed it directly into his mouth, filling both cheeks completely.
Zhao Xiaoyue had no idea this guy could eat so much; she ate the whole pot.
"He'll be out in a little while. Never mind him, let's eat first. I saved some food for him."
Zhao Xiaoyue withdrew her hand from the railing and walked back.
"Oh, okay then."
"Little niece, the pork ribs you stewed are so delicious! Hurry up and come on, I saved half a bowl for you. Uncle Zombie can eat more than any of us, or it'll be too late."
The next morning, Bai Bupiao stretched and happily left his room.
He counted so many zeros; if this existed on his own, it would shock countless people.
wrong!
No, no, no!
I can't let anyone else know that I already have ten million.
He was lost in thought when Zhao Xiaoyue slapped him from behind.
“I know how much money you have, and I can give you even more, it just depends on when you set off.”
Summer vacation is only about forty days long, and if she keeps going like this, school will start soon.
The eerie voice startled Bai Butiao.
"Hey kid, I'm decades older than you. Can't you learn to respect your elders and care for the young? Don't scare me like that!"
After saying that, he patted his chest as if he were frightened.
"hehe!"
Then, the bone fan miraculously reappeared in someone's palm.
Holding a fan in one hand, and opening the other hand, he tapped it on his palm.
It's like they're knocking on an old man's bones.
Bai Bupiao was afraid that the young girl might accidentally break the bone fan, so he quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Oh my, my little darling, let's go, let's set off right now, let's get to Haishi as quickly as possible, is that alright?"
"It'll do, alright, though!"
The person was very pleased.
That's why time-travel and reincarnation dramas are considered "feel-good" shows.
In her past life, Ms. Zhao almost got verbally abused to the point of collapse by this old man. Back then, she vowed that if she ever became rich, she would definitely shower this old man with money.
