Huang Xiaojuan rubbed her aching stomach, a little 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 she won't have 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 that Xia Mian won't be able to get in today, but don't worry, she likes to hang out anyway, has a lot of friends, and has plenty of 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.
When 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, "You said that the passbook is 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 called the police falsely. If she calls the police again in the future, the police will be annoyed with her."
Having said that, 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, "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 roadside tree 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 call 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 in the past two days, and I thought we sold it too early. I didn't expect it to fall so sharply today. Will you still buy it after it falls?"
Ning Shaobai was a little impatient with the burning gazes from all around. He found a shady spot under a tree and stood still. "No, I haven't bought any in recent years. Transfer all the money to my card."
"Ah?" The voice on the other end was anxious. "It's only been a year, and the money has increased sevenfold. It's so easy to make money in the stock market, why don't you buy it? Many people are just starting to come in!"
Ning Shaobai sneered, "If you want to be a fool, just 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 man on the other side laughed again, "I actually hope that the market will plummet in the future, you know? Your stepmother has also started to play the stock market, and her investment is not small."
Ning Shaobai still looked indifferent, and heard the other party continue to say with a smile, "Your brother is quite funny. He followed you when you went abroad, and he also hurried back when you came back."
"Seeing you go to a small city, they are so proud of themselves here, and now they are jumping up and down to seek inheritance."
"Your stepmother brags every day that her son is an investment genius. The stocks she bought were casually advised by her son. As for her son, he is busy with more important projects."
"She even flattered you, saying that you are a doctor, like your grandfather, who is devoted to scientific research and indifferent to fame and fortune. You will definitely be a famous doctor in the future. I am dying of laughter. If she knew that your current assets are about to exceed those of her family, she would probably be so angry that she would die, right?"
"Oh, by the way, you have no idea how surprised she was when she saw my cell phone that day. She was so surprised that she praised me to bits and asked me for one. My parents still use mobile phones, how dare she ask for one. She also said that her son is also optimistic about the cell phone market and wants to invest in it."
The man on the other side teased, "Well, why not let her take a stake? Then she can fawn over you, the major shareholder. How interesting would that be?"
Ning Shaobai clicked his tongue and said, "Do I look as foolish as you do?" Giving up huge benefits for a little face
"Just talk, why are you scolding me?" The other end said, finally getting 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 did not reply. He frowned and looked at the place not far away, and ended the call in a hurry. "Let's not talk about it for now. I have something to do here."
Ning Shaobai walked closer 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 the red-haired monkey? How could it lose the child? The child was sleeping so soundly, could he have been drugged
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and quickly stepped forward to hold the child in his arms.
Xia Mian was feeling a little drowsy 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 taking care of 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. Then he raised his foot and kicked at him again.
This time Ning Shaobai was prepared and grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.
This tug almost sent Xia Mian away. Before the body's muscles could be stretched, Xia Mian gasped and said angrily, "What an arrogant human trafficker! Give my child back to me!"
Xiao Feng in Ning Shaobai's arms was finally awakened. She realized that she was in a stranger's arms and leaned forward anxiously, "Auntie!"
Ning Shaobai paused and stared at Xia Mian's face for two seconds, "Sun Wukong?"
Xia Mian also stopped struggling and recognized the person in front of him, "Tang Sanzang?" Then he angrily said, "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 had not completed before were broken by this last straw. With a "snap" sound, 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 scolding 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, and tightly grasped Xia Mian's arm to support her, "Aunt, does it hurt?" After saying this, tears fell.
The child's silent tears made people feel even more distressed. Xia Mian held back the pain and smiled, "Auntie, it doesn't hurt. 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 if they were 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 held her shoulders.
Xia Mian bit her back teeth and raised her head, "Thank you, Uncle Tang."
Ning Shaobai sighed and explained, "I really didn't recognize you. I thought Xiaofeng was kidnapped by human traffickers."
So he was deceived by her fairy transformation? Xia Mian thought this was forgivable.
"Since you have no bad intentions." Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and raised his chin slightly, "This is my original style! Before, I was young and ignorant, and I thought that people in the city would be more fashionable, so I did it temporarily. From now on, I will be my true self."
Ning Shaobai looked at her smug look and felt that this girl was a little silly.
With her neat student hairstyle and ladylike waist-hugging skirt, she looked like a pure and lovely girl at first glance. However, coupled with the flying kick that almost broke his bones just now... 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, and said seriously, "Yes, I don't have the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, 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, Xia Mian hugs Xiao Feng and leaves.
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 silly 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 see a few teenagers with very conspicuous temperaments from afar? Standing at the fork leading to Building 18, they all had the same posture: one hand in their pocket, the center of gravity of their body resting on one leg, the other leg shaking constantly, staring at the passing crowd with a nonchalant but shifty look.
People passing by basically retreated, 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 avoid them. For someone like Xia Mian who had seen top boxing champions compete with each other, and the atmosphere of fighting with all their might, she couldn't stand these little gangsters 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 brave?" He paused, "You're not afraid of anyone, not even the Lord."
Xia Mian glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "I've already said that it was due to my youth and ignorance. I am a sweet and lovely fairy by nature. I don't like fighting the most."
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but laugh because he realized that the girl was actually serious.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes and ignored him.
But she was still whistled at. The group had been standing here 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 head blew a whistle, and the other brothers followed one after another. When they saw Xia Mian looking over, the rooster 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 era, such behavior could be reported to the police for sexual harassment. When she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but stop.
She was about to speak when Ning Shaobai stopped her.
Ning Shaobai looked at the rooster head and said calmly, "Who are you? What do you want to do with Xia Mian?"
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, "Just hooligans like you?" You think you are worthy of being her friend
Ning Shaobai stopped interrupting her when he saw that she had reacted. However, the hooligans were stunned for a moment, not knowing what the pretty girl in front of them meant.
Xia Mian glanced at them as if they were scanning young girls and wives, her face full of disgust, as if she was looking at naked garbage.
The rooster-head frowned, feeling offended. He stood up straight and took a step forward, looking like he was going to hit someone. "What do you mean?"
Xia Mian scoffed at his bluffing, "It's nothing. 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 killed anyone? Or have you maimed a few people? Are you part of any gangs?"
The little girl asked questions in rapid succession. Cockscomb Hair and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. It would be embarrassing to answer obediently, but not answering didn't seem to be any better.
As expected, Xia Mian said with a click of the tongue, "So, you, a cucumber who has never experienced anything, pretend to be a gangster. Gangsters also need qualifications, okay?"
She said with great disdain, "At least you can look better," she pointed at Ning Shaobai beside her, "Like this one, at least it's pleasing to the eye, you said you have no looks, no abilities, oh, and your health is not good."
Ning Shaobai was a little confused when being called out out of the blue. Hearing her talk about poor health again, he was a little unsure of what this little girl was thinking.
Perhaps their puzzled expressions were too obvious, so Xia Mian mercifully explained their doubts to them. She glanced at a certain part of their bodies and said seriously:
"According to medical research, whistling too much is bad for the prostate. If you can't whistle after blowing for so long, it's a serious problem. It's better to pay attention to it. Don't be a gangster. You can't be a man either."
Ning Shao rolled his eyes at the gangsters' changed expressions 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 collapse into pieces and cannot be picked up.
A few hooligans with low cultural level could no longer maintain their rogue appearance in the face of the other party's self-righteous "medical knowledge" and were speechless in shame.
Xia Mian rolled her eyes. She was in a hurry to get Xiao Feng back to sleep and had no time to deal with these hooligans. She would come over 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?" 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 had no interest in dating. He was indifferent to 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 was not very good. She was so anxious that she patted Old Lady Liu and said, "Help me take a quick 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. You know what, she's a good match for your Xiaobai." Old Lady Liu's eyes were bright, "She just looks a little young, maybe fifteen or sixteen."
Mrs. Mi said with a smile, "Some people look young, why are they holding a child?"
Old Lady Liu said, "Maybe they asked your Xiao Bai to see a doctor? That girl doesn't look like she has given birth... That's not right..." Old Lady Liu took a closer look, "Isn't that Xiao Feng?"
While they were talking, Ning Shaobai and Xia Mian had already approached. Xia Mian greeted them with a smile, "Aunt Liu, Teacher Mi." He lowered his head and taught 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, and then asked in surprise, "Asummer sleep?!"
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, 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 was really uncomfortable, 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 was not brought back by Ning Shaobai, she still liked good girls very much. "The city is the same as your town. Students should focus on studying. You should do the right thing."
Old Mrs. Liu also reacted and exclaimed, "That's right, Xia Mian is so beautiful like this. From this point of view, Xiao Feng looks like a member of your Xia family."
"Hey, Xia Mian, what's the matter with those second-rate guys?" Someone still remembered this incident.
A middle-aged woman with curly hair next to him said with disgust, "She said she was here to see you, but she's been standing there for quite a while, behaving like a hooligan when she sees a young girl. Where did you get to 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 like what Xiao Huang said, are you deliberately making trouble?"
Xia Mian’s eyes widened.
Ning Shaobai, who had not 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 became friendly, "Really? What's going on?"
The others seemed to have come to their senses as well. "Yes, Dr. Ning and Xia Mian walked over there together. If they knew those idiots, 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 to hide. 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."
