Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: Feeling Distraught
“No need to be so courteous, it is fine as long as Master Xiao is safe. I still have some matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first.” Seeing that Old Master Xiao had awakened, Master Sun remembered the reckless bet he had made and panicked.
“Yes, yes, yes. We still have some urgent matters, and we shall take leave of you first.” The group of quack doctors had completely lost their reputations this time. How could they continue to stay at the Xiao residence without any shame? They headed outside like a swarm of bees.
“Hold on, Master Sun, have you forgotten what you said just now? Why are you leaving so soon?” Ling Chuxi asked with a smile on her face. How could this quack doctor think of getting away just like that? She could remember very clearly the bet that was made just now.
Master Sun was heading out at full speed, but when he heard those words, his expression darkened and he froze on the spot.
“Do you know where Master Sun’s clinic is?” Ling Chuxi asked Xiao Tianfan.
“Yes, I know.” Xiao Tianfan nodded his head, and looked at Master Sun frostily. This was the quack doctor with an undeserved reputation. He had even wanted to give Grandfather the Transforming Life Pill earlier, and had nearly cut off Grandfather’s last chance of survival. Xiao Tianfan’s gaze became even colder as he thought about it.
Master Sun had originally wanted to say something, but when he met Xiao Tianfan’s icy gaze, he was unable to say a word and a tearful look appeared on his face.
“Then let’s make our way there.” Ling Chuxi could not be bothered by Master Sun’s pitiful look. Who knows how many lives had been harmed by this quack doctor – she would never be softhearted towards him!
“Oh right, give me the box of golden needles first,” Ling Chuxi said as she passed Master Sun. That box of golden needles was good stuff, they were much stronger than her silver needles.
Just as Master Sun thought of begging for mercy, Xiao Tianfan snatched the golden needles from him and passed them to Ling Chuxi. Then, with one hand, he held his collar and headed out. Naturally, Xiao Gaode and the rest would not stop him, and were quite happy to be entertained by it!
…
At night, the Xiao Family held a banquet and treated Ling Chuxi like royalty. Xiao Gaode even eagerly proposed a toast to Ling Chuxi. Old Master Xiao also drank to his heart’s content. Old Master Xiao casually asked Ling Chuxi if she needed any help. Ling Chuxi sneered, looked at Xiao Tianwen who was sitting in a corner and said coolly, “There’s nothing much that I need help with, but I feel that the upbringing of some people in the Xiao Family really does not amount to much. Of course, Old Master Xiao cannot be blamed as you were in a deep slumber and completely unaware.”
Old Master Xiao’s face paled and he glanced coldly at Xiao Tianwen. What a wise man he was, that he could understand at once what the matter was after listening to one sentence. Furthermore, he knew the temperament of his granddaughter – she had a strong streak of jealousy, was narrow-minded, and her words were bitter and mean. It looked like she needed to be properly disciplined. Xiao Tianwen’s gaze met Old Master Xiao’s gaze and quickly straightened her body in shock, feeling uneasy.
“Miss Ling, I’m very sorry. My granddaughter has been spoiled, we will discipline her more strictly in the future,” Old Master Xiao apologized, personally guaranteeing it.
“Of course Old Master Xiao will do as promised. It just seems to me that gold and stone receiving opposite treatment makes one feel a bit distraught,” Ling Chuxi smiled, and gave a toast to Old Master Xiao. It needed to be said. Old Master Xiao was very clever, so there was no need to be straightforward. She felt Xiao Tianfan’s grateful gaze on her, and felt a bit regretful. If she had not defeated Xiao Tianfan, he would not be treated this way right now. Hopefully the subtle hint she had given earlier were enough to make it up to him.
Old Master Xiao smiled and nodded his head. He certainly understood the meaning of Ling Chuxi’s words.
