Xiao Shisan watched the surveillance footage with satisfaction: "Tsk, those two... they spent Miss Ji's inheritance to buy the house, and they're going to give it back exactly what they paid for! What belongs to Miss Ji, they don't even deserve to touch it!"
He loosened his tie and said, "Alright, it's my turn to go back and make my appearance. You all need to be on your toes! This is something the young master ordered us to do, so we have to make sure it's done perfectly, understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone agreed in unison. Seeing that Xiao Shisan was about to leave, they couldn't resist their curiosity, exchanged glances, and then sidled over, their eyes shining as they whispered:
"Mr. Thirteen, please tell us... what exactly is the relationship between this Miss Ji and Young Master? Did Young Master come to Qingsi County just for her?"
Xiao Shisan glanced at him with a half-smile and snorted, "Are you annoyed?"
"Mmm!"
He gave him a sharp rap on the head: "I'm not curious, so I won't tell you! Don't pry into the young master's affairs!"
"Ouch! Ouch!" The person who was hit clutched their head, groaning and trying to avoid the blow. "Actually, even if you don't say it, we know that this is the future young master's wife, someone who can start preparing for the young master's wedding, right?"
Xiao Shisan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "It really isn't."
Everyone was shocked: "Huh? How could it not be? Seeing how concerned the young master is, we thought... we thought Madam and her niece's plans were going to fall through..."
As the second wife of the Xiao family, Madam Xiao's desire to send her "niece" to the young master's bed was common knowledge.
It's just that no one brought it up out of consideration for the old patriarch Xiao's reputation.
Xiao Shisan scoffed, glancing at them contemptuously: "Idiots, a wedding... Look closely! How old is Miss Ji? She's not even old enough for a wedding! What wedding? Young Master has plenty of time to wait!"
"..." The expressions on everyone's faces changed repeatedly, and finally they couldn't hold back, "Pfft, the young master is so pitiful..."
"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't say this in front of the young master. He's already extremely anxious. If you provoke him further, he might just start planning to take Miss Ji abroad to get their marriage certificate."
China has the latest legal marriage age in the world. The legal marriage age varies from country to country. Some religious countries even allow children as young as 9 to marry, while most European countries limit it to the teens.
However, despite Xiao Shisan's smooth talk, there was one thing he didn't say:
Unfortunately, even if the young master wanted to get married, Miss Ji might not be willing! The biggest obstacle in his path, besides his age, is pursuing her.
He kept these thoughts to himself and didn't intend to say them out loud. After all, if people knew that "the renowned young master of the Xiao family can't even get close to the person he likes as his girlfriend, let alone use a self-inflicted injury and stage a car accident to pretend to be injured," wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off?
For the sake of the young master's reputation, let's just keep these truths to ourselves!
But I can still smile to myself—
Haha ...
.
Cheng's aunt and uncle were so fooled by Xiao Shisan that they became lame, and on their way home they kept thinking about selling the house.
When they got home, as soon as they entered the residential area, they saw many people pointing and peering at them. A chill ran down their spines; they sensed something was wrong and hurried home. Sure enough, something had happened at their house.
