Huang Xiaojuan rubbed her aching stomach, feeling impatient. "When will she get into trouble?"
Zhang Qiming glanced at her and asked casually, "How much money do you think she has?"
"She took five hundred today," Huang Xiaojuan said. "I think she used the money to buy things for Jian and Xiaofeng. That girl spends money lavishly, so I'm afraid there won't be much left when she comes back."
"Well, have you got the key?" Zhang Qiming said, "Doesn't Xiaoxia need the spare key? I'm afraid Xia Mian won't be able to get in today. But don't worry, she likes to hang out anyway. She has a lot of friends and places to go."
In other words, if Xia Mian had no money, even if he didn't follow those gangsters, he would have to live on the streets if he couldn't get in.
Huang Xiaojuan sneered. After what those thugs had done, even the nosy old lady next door wouldn't take her in. An ordinary relative staying with her for seven or eight days would be annoying!
Whatever the result, it makes people happy.
Once that girl has suffered enough, she will know to be obedient! The more Huang Xiaojuan thought about it, the more excited she became.
Zhang Qiming reminded him, "You said you put the passbook at school, so leave it at school."
"Huh?" Huang Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, that girl calls the police all the time. If she runs out of money and calls me, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, you've become smarter today," Zhang Qiming said with a smile in his tone, "Then it will be like she made a false police report. If she calls the police again in the future, the police will be annoyed by her."
After hearing this, Huang Xiaojuan actually hoped that Xia Mian would call the police.
"Besides," Zhang Qiming sighed, "when Xia Mian needs money, and the school is closed, what can you do? We can't come up with that much money, so I'm afraid she will have to worry for a few more days."
When the time comes, she will have to kneel down obediently even if you ask her to.
Huang Xiaojuan was in a very good mood and said, "I'll go and release it in a moment."
"Oh, by the way, I have to tell Xiaoxia about Dr. Ning's matter."
Xia Mian didn't know that trouble was waiting for her in the family compound. There were very few taxis on the road these days, and she had no choice but to carry Xiao Feng back on her back in the hot weather. According to her previous physique, two kilometers of distance was nothing, but the little fairy's body was weak after all, and she was sweating profusely halfway through the walk.
The child was sleeping soundly on her shoulder, so Xia Mian leaned against a tree by the roadside to take a rest.
Dr. Ning, who was being thought of by Huang Xiaojuan, had just paid his phone bill at the post office when his cell phone rang again.
Ning Shaobai picked up the phone and said nonchalantly, "Stop talking nonsense and skip the flattery."
The other party didn't take it seriously and shouted excitedly, "Dude, you are amazing! The price rose so sharply the past two days, I thought we sold it too early, but I didn't expect it to fall so sharply today. Are you still buying after it drops?"
The scorching gazes from all around made Ning Shaobai a little impatient. He found a shady spot under a tree and stood still. "I'm not buying any more. I haven't bought any in recent years. Transfer all the money to my card."
"Huh?" the voice on the other end asked anxiously, "It's only been a year, and the money has increased sevenfold. With such easy money in the stock market, why don't you buy in? So many people are just starting to get in!"
Ning Shaobai sneered, "If you want to be a fool, then keep buying. Anyway, transfer my money back to me."
"Forget it," the other party seemed to have made a difficult decision, "I'd better follow you. Even though I'm stupid, I have a smart buddy!"
After making the decision, the other person laughed again, "I actually hope the market crashes next, you know? Your stepmother has also started playing the stock market, and her investment is quite large."
Ning Shaobai still looked indifferent, and heard the other party continue to say with a smile, "Your brother is quite funny. He followed you abroad, and he hurried back when you came back."
"Seeing you go to the small city, they are so proud of themselves here, and now they are jumping around trying to get a fortune."
"Your stepmother brags every day that her son is an investment genius. The stocks she buys are just casually advised by her son. As for her son, he is busy with more important projects."
"She even flattered you, saying you're a doctor, like your grandfather, devoted to scientific research and indifferent to fame and fortune, and that you'll definitely be a famous doctor in the future. I'm dying of laughter. If she knew your current assets were about to surpass her family's, she'd probably be furious, right?"
"Oh, by the way, you have no idea how surprised she was when she saw my cell phone the other day. She was practically praising me to bits and even asked me for one. My parents still use cell phones, how dare she ask for one. She even said her son is optimistic about the cell phone market and wants to invest in it."
The other party teased, "Well, why not let her take a stake? Then she can fawn over you, the major shareholder. How fun would that be?"
Ning Shaobai clicked his tongue and said, "Do I look as foolish as you?" Giving up huge benefits for a little face?
"Just talk, why are you scolding me?" the other end said, finally getting back to the point. "You transferred all the money into the account. What are you planning to do? Are there any investment projects there?"
Ning Shaobai didn't reply. He frowned and looked at the place not far away, then ended the call in a hurry. "Let's not talk about it for now. I have something to do here."
Ning Shaobai walked over quickly, and was very sure that the person on the frail woman's back was the nephew of the red-haired monkey.
He frowned. What happened to that red-haired monkey? How could it have lost the child? The child was sleeping so soundly, could he have been drugged?
Thinking of this, he no longer worried and quickly stepped forward to hold the child in his arms.
Xia Mian was feeling a bit sleepy when he suddenly felt a lightness on his back. His first thought was that he had encountered a human trafficker who was trying to steal his child. He panicked and kicked the trafficker, shouting, "You dare to steal my child? Are you looking for death?!"
Ning Shaobai didn't expect the other party to react so quickly. Because he was caring about the child in his arms, he turned his back and was kicked. The piercing pain came, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. The human trafficker was so arrogant. He raised his leg to do a roundhouse kick, but was blocked by the other party's arm.
But the opponent didn't get any better, he took a few steps back, grimacing in pain, but then he raised his foot and kicked again.
This time Ning Shaobai was prepared and grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.
This tug almost sent Xia Mian flying. Before the body's muscles could be stretched, Xia Mian gasped and shouted angrily, "What an arrogant human trafficker! Give me back my child!"
Xiao Feng in Ning Shaobai's arms was finally awakened. Realizing that she was in a stranger's arms, she leaned forward anxiously, "Auntie!"
Ning Shaobai paused and stared at Xia Mian's face for two seconds, "Monkey King?"
Xia Mian also stopped struggling and recognized the person in front of him. "Tang Sanzang?" Then he said angrily, "What are you doing?! What's wrong with you?"
Ning Shaobai looked her up and down, and when his eyes fell on her fair and delicate calves, he realized something and quickly took a step back and let go.
The splits that Xia Mian hadn't completed before were broken by this last straw. With a "snap", she performed a split on the spot. The pain was so severe that she could only squeeze out one word from her throat, "Fuck..."
Ning Shaobai felt that every blue vein on her forehead was cursing him.
Ning Shaobai subconsciously tapped his index finger, put down the struggling Xiaofeng, and silently reached out to help her.
"Aunt." Xiao Feng ran to the other side, tears in her eyes, tightly grasping Xia Mian's arm to support her, "Aunt, does it hurt?" After saying that, tears fell.
The child's silent tears made people feel even more distressed. Xia Mian suppressed the pain and smiled, "Auntie, it's not painful. Uncle Tang was just playing a joke on us."
Ning Shaobai: ...
He heard his grandmother say many times yesterday that this girl looked unreliable, but was actually very sweet-mouthed. Except for the elderly, she would call everyone else brother or sister, even those in their forties.
"Really?" Xiao Feng stared at Xia Mian's face, extremely worried.
"Really." Xia Mian simply held the child in her arms and stood up with the help of Ning Shaobai. The soreness on the inside of her thighs made her legs go weak and she almost fell down. Ning Shaobai quickly supported her shoulders.
Xia Mian bit her back teeth and looked up, "Thank you! Uncle Tang."
Ning Shaobai sighed and explained, "I really didn't recognize you. I thought Xiaofeng was kidnapped by human traffickers."
So, was she fooled by her fairy transformation? Xia Mian thought this was forgivable.
"Since you have no bad intentions." Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and raised her chin slightly, "This is my original style! Before, I was young and ignorant, and I thought city people would be more fashionable, so I did it temporarily. From now on, I will be my true self again."
Ning Shaobai looked at her smug look and felt that this girl was a little silly.
With her neat student hairstyle and ladylike waist-cinching skirt, she looked like a pure and lovely girl at first glance. However, coupled with that flying kick that nearly broke his bones... Ning Shaobai supported his waist and sneered, "What's your style now?"
Xia Mian looked at him in surprise and said after a while, "I believe you really didn't recognize me just now." He was really blind.
Ning Shaobai nodded, his tone serious, "Yes, I don't have the Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes, so I can't see through your 72 transformations."
aestivation:……
You are the Monkey King, your whole family is Monkey King! She really doesn’t get along with this Tang Sanzang, so Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and left.
Ning Shaobai sighed helplessly, took two quick steps to catch up with her, took the bag from her arm and started carrying it.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes, touched the frightened Xiao Feng and said, "Auntie is really fine. Uncle Tang is our neighbor, not a bad person."
Xiao Feng paused, nodded, and glanced at Ning Shaobai again and again.
Ning Shaobai looked at the ahoge hair on his head that was sticking up and down, and couldn't help but touch it. Xiao Feng remembered that his aunt had touched him in the same way just now, and he immediately relaxed a lot.
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a genius, he was currently just a little kid who didn't even have a kindergarten diploma, so he was still easy to coax.
After entering the family compound, Xia Mian teased Xiao Feng with a smile, "We'll be home soon!"
Did you spot a few striking teenagers from afar? Standing at the fork leading to Building 18, they all had the same posture: one hand in their pocket, their weight resting on one leg, the other constantly shaking, staring at the passersby with a nonchalant, yet shifty look.
Most people passing by would give way, but Xia Mian and the others couldn't avoid them, as that was the only way to Building 18. However, even if she could avoid them, Xia Mian wouldn't. After witnessing top boxing champions fighting against each other, and the atmosphere of desperate fights, Xia Mian couldn't stand these little thugs at all.
However, Xia Mian still took two quick steps and hid beside Tang Sanzang.
Ning Shaobai looked down at her and sneered, "Aren't you quite a tiger?" He paused, "You're not afraid of anyone, not even the Lord."
Xia Mian glanced at him sideways and said dissatisfiedly, "I've already said that's due to my youth and ignorance. I'm a sweet and lovely fairy by nature. I don't like fighting the most."
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but laugh because he found that the girl was serious.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes and ignored him.
But she was still whistled at. The group had been standing there for a long time and were already bored to death. Since no one came to care about them, they became arrogant.
The leading young man, with a chestnut-yellow rooster-like head, blew a whistle, and the other brothers followed one after another. Seeing Xia Mian looking over, the rooster-like head raised his chin, shook his legs and grinned, "Little sister, come and chat with the brothers for a while. Do you know Xia Mian?"
Summer sleep was just a rarity. In her time, such behavior could be reported to the police for sexual harassment. Hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but pause.
She was about to speak when Ning Shaobai stopped her.
Ning Shaobai looked at the rooster head and said calmly, "Who are you? What are you looking for Xia Mian for?"
For some reason, those hooligans didn't dare to act recklessly. Their legs stopped shaking, and they subconsciously straightened their backs and said, "Nothing, just being friends."
"Hehe..." Xia Mian couldn't help but sneer, "You hooligans?" You are worthy of being her friends?
Ning Shaobai stopped interrupting when he saw that she had reacted. However, the hooligans were stunned, not knowing what the pretty girl in front of them meant.
Xia Mian glanced at them like they looked at young girls and wives, his face full of disgust, as if he was looking at trash.
The rooster-head frowned, feeling offended. He stood up straight and took a step forward, looking like he was about to hit someone. "What do you mean?"
Xia Mian scoffed at his bluff. "It's nothing interesting. Looking at your appearance, how many times have you been to the police station?"
The rooster head's expression changed, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Mian asked again, "Or how many fights have you participated in? Do you know how to use a machete? Have you ever killed anyone? Or have you ever crippled someone? Are you part of any gang?"
The little girl asked questions in rapid succession. Cockscomb Hair and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. It would be embarrassing to answer obediently, but not answering seemed to be no better either.
As expected, Xia Mian tutted his words and said, "So, you, a cucumber who has never experienced anything, are pretending to be a gangster. Gangsters and hooligans also need qualifications, okay?"
She said with great disdain, "At least someone who looks better will do," she pointed at Ning Shaobai beside her, "Like this one, at least he's pleasing to the eye. You guys have no looks, no abilities, and oh, your health isn't good either."
Ning Shaobai was a little confused when she was suddenly called out. When she heard her bring up her poor health, she was a little unsure of what was going on in this little girl's train of thought.
Perhaps because their puzzled expressions were too obvious, Xia Mian mercifully explained their doubts. She glanced at a certain part of their body and said seriously:
"According to medical research, whistling too much is bad for the prostate. If you can't whistle after blowing it for so long, it's a serious problem. It's better to take it seriously. Don't be a gangster. You can't be a man either."
Ning Shao rolled his eyes at the gangsters whose faces changed and almost laughed out loud. This girl is really good at fooling people.
Momentum is a strange thing, especially for those who are bluffing. Once it collapses, it will be like a landslide, shattered into pieces and cannot be picked up.
Faced with the other party's self-righteous "medical knowledge", a few thugs with low cultural level could no longer maintain their rogue appearance and were speechless in shame.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes. She was anxious for Xiao Feng to go back to sleep and had no time to deal with these hooligans. She would come back to deal with them later.
It was almost time to get off work, and more and more people were coming to the family compound. Xia Mian followed Ning Shaobai all the way back, attracting a lot of attention.
From a distance, Old Lady Liu said to the gray-haired Teacher Mi, "Hey, is that your Xiaobai? Who is the girl walking with him?" Her tone was filled with excitement.
"Where is it?" Teacher Mi also stretched her neck happily. Her grandson had high standards and not many people could catch his eye. He was 23 years old and he didn't care about any female classmates or colleagues, let alone dating. It was so rare for one to appear now.
Teacher Mi couldn't see clearly. She had been teaching for a lifetime and her eyesight wasn't very good. She was so anxious that she patted Old Lady Liu and said, "Help me take a look. What does the girl look like?"
"You know what, she's really pretty, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, a face as big as a palm, and fair skin, even fairer than your Xiaobai's. You know what, she's a good match for your Xiaobai." Old Lady Liu's eyes were bright. "She just looks a little young, like fifteen or sixteen."
Mrs. Mi said with a smile, "Some people look young. Why are they holding a child?"
Old Lady Liu said, "I guess they asked your Xiaobai to see a doctor? That girl doesn't look like she's given birth... That's not right..." Old Lady Liu took a closer look, "Isn't that Xiaofeng?"
While they were talking, Ning Shaobai and Xia Mian had already approached. Xia Mian greeted them with a smile, "Aunt Liu, Teacher Mi." She lowered her head and instructed Xiao Feng, "Call someone."
Xiao Feng looked up at Xia Mian and said to Old Lady Liu and Teacher Mi in a baby voice, "Grandma Liu, Grandma Mi."
"Alas, alas." Old Mrs. Liu responded in a daze, then asked in surprise, "Aestivation?!"
Xia Mian scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's me."
Then he brought out the same excuse he had used to fool Ning Shaobai before, "I've never been to the city before, so I was a little nervous. I heard from my friends that students in the city are more fashionable, so I quickly changed it like that. But it really didn't feel right, so I changed it back."
Several people were so shocked by her subversive image that they temporarily forgot about her provoking the gangsters.
Teacher Mi habitually said, "Not bad, not bad, students should be like this."
Although she was disappointed that the girl wasn't Ning Shaobai's, she still liked good girls very much. "The city is the same as your town. Students should focus on studying. That's the right thing for you."
Old Mrs. Liu also reacted and sighed, "That's right, Xia Mian is so beautiful like this. From this point of view, Xiao Feng looks like your Xia family."
"Hey, Xia Mian, what's going on with those second-rate guys?" Someone still remembered this incident.
A middle-aged woman with permed hair nearby said with disgust, "They said they were looking for you, but they've been standing there for ages, acting like hooligans when they see young girls. Where do you know those hooligans?"
Xia Mian saw many people glaring at her, and she had a rough idea in her mind. She looked up at Tang Sanzang and thought to herself that it was a good thing that this guy reacted quickly.
"I don't know them. I've only been in the city for less than two weeks and I don't know anyone except my neighbors."
"Those people said they were looking for you," the middle-aged woman frowned and said, "How could a young girl like you lie? The Zhang family's affairs are not as Xiao Huang said, and you are deliberately causing trouble, right?"
Xia Mian's eyes widened.
Ning Shaobai, who hadn't spoken or left, said, "When we just walked over there, those people didn't recognize Xia Mian at all."
As soon as Ning Shaobai opened his mouth, the woman's expression instantly softened. "Really? What's going on?"
The others seemed to have come to their senses as well. "Yeah, Dr. Ning and Xia Mian came over there together. If they knew those scoundrels, wouldn't they have followed them?"
Ning Shaobai looked up at the second floor and asked, "Is there no one at the Zhang family?"
Old Lady Liu said, "No one is there. Xiao Huang took Xuanxuan into hiding. He said he was afraid that the thugs Xia Mian had hired would take revenge on them."
Ning Shaobai sneered disdainfully, "I'm afraid he directed and acted it himself."
