Scholar Kang gave Kang Cheng a good scolding, telling him to be a good dog, to serve Princess Xi well, and to strive to restore his soul as soon as possible so that he could become a human being.
Kang Cheng nodded obsequiously, no longer daring to entertain any other thoughts.
The scholars and other elders bowed deeply to Xiaoxi in gratitude, and finally, one of them left behind a single sentence.
“Princess Xi, I’m leaving my unfilial grandson in your care from now on. He doesn’t deserve his original name anymore. You can give him this lowly name. If he disobeys, you can beat or scold him as you please!”
Xiaoxi suspected that Scholar Kangda had seen through her thoughts and readily agreed.
Xiao Xi then said goodbye to her sworn brother, Li Heng.
Finally, the troublesome ancestors of the Kang family were sent away.
The meeting room fell silent. Vice Mayor Kang had embezzled Yao Tai's belongings, and the resulting losses were still difficult to estimate. He was currently suspended from his duties pending further punishment.
Kanda's secretary could no longer work as a secretary and was demoted to a regular clerk.
Kangda had become indifferent. He believed that he should take responsibility for his son's mistakes, and even if he lost his job, as long as his son could live, that was enough.
He still sternly told his dog son, "You said you were useful and could help Minister Ye find New Year pictures, so you'd better keep your word!"
Seeing that his father didn't blame him, Kang Cheng felt even more distressed and shed tears.
Xiao Xi watched coldly as she walked out of the conference room with her three subordinates, and Kang Cheng quickly followed.
Xiao Xi wanted nothing more than to kick him.
"I'll give you a lowly name, Scumbag Cheng. You'd better behave yourself. To save you, all the merits of your ancestors have been used on you, along with my good stuff like the Ink Orchid Grass."
"I'm not your ancestor. I saved you for no reason, so you'd better be worthy of it. Besides, I created your body and burned it; if you misbehave, I'll smash you to pieces."
Zha Zha Cheng knew that Xiao Xi wasn't just threatening him, and he himself was sincerely repenting, so he quickly knelt down and nodded repeatedly.
Yu Qiu could tell that Xiao Xi didn't want to carry the burden of Zha Zha Cheng, so she offered to take care of him. Although she also disliked Kang Cheng, he was Xiao Xi's person, and Xiao Xi was her everything.
Therefore, raising Zha Cheng is to help Xiao Xi solve her problems.
Xiao Xi thought it was a good idea to arrange for Zha Zha Cheng to follow Yu Qiu. Yu Qiu was meticulous in his work and his cultivation was higher than Su Linran and Han Yu.
Then the group went back to rest. Xiaoxi will go back to class tomorrow, while Yu Qiu, the other two, and the dog will head to Jiangdong to look for New Year pictures.
The next day, the three people and the dog spent the whole morning searching in Jiangdong District, but to no avail.
The three of them rode shared electric bikes through the streets and alleys. Around noon, Zha Zha Cheng, who had been wilting in the sun, suddenly perked up from the basket of the electric bike.
"Sister Yu, I can feel the atmosphere of the New Year's paintings."
Yu Qiu immediately sent a message to Xiao Xi.
They agreed yesterday that they must notify Xiaoxi first if anything happens before taking any action.
The three of them parked their electric scooter on the side of the road, and Xiaoxi arrived.
When Xiaoxi looked at the street scene, she realized it was the urban-rural fringe area she used to frequent when she was a little beggar.
However, she didn't have time to sigh and asked Scumbag Cheng to lead the way.
Zha Zha Cheng ran all the way to a small restaurant across the street and stopped.
Xiaoxi recognized this restaurant.
This is the restaurant where her friend Zhou Daqiang used to work part-time in the evenings.
Xiaoxi had passed by this place countless times at noon before, but business had never been as good as it is now.
The chubby boss wasn't afraid of the city management officers; he set up tables outside, leaving many people with no seats, so they either squatted or stood to eat.
Xiaoxi and the others spotted a New Year's picture pasted on the greasy wall of the shop right outside the door.
The group stood by and watched quietly, waiting for the number of customers to decrease before taking action.
At this moment, Zha Zha Cheng seemed to sense something, and he quietly moved towards the delivery guys.
