Jiangli stretched out her hand and took the initiative to pull Fu Shiyan along to the side hall to prepare for the meal.
Xia Xin watched as Jiangli and Fu Shiyan’s boundaries got blurrier, feeling a bit of a toothache.
Fu Shiyan, on the other hand, seemed to quite enjoy Jiangli’s closeness, speaking to her in a continuously gentle manner.
When they sat down to eat, he was particularly attentive to what Jiangli liked, and the dishes he had prepared were mostly her favorites.
Xia Xin could tell at a glance that it was all for Jiangli, which made his toothache even worse.
Not long after they finished eating, Qing Yue returned.
Jiangli just happened to be talking with Fu Shiyan in the side hall.
As soon as Qing Yue walked in, Jiangli caught a faint scent of blood on him, "Did you make a move?"
Qing Yue, upon hearing her, shook his sleeves, "Yeah, that good-for-nothing tried to escape, so I broke his legs and threw him into the Unusual Affairs Management Office."
Xia Xin, sitting on the side, felt his face twitch, suddenly feeling a bit of pain in his legs.
He couldn’t help but pull his legs back a bit.
Jiangli asked, "Is it resolved now?"
Qing Yue sat down opposite, picked up the tea cup beside him, not caring whose it was, and began to drink, "The Unusual Affairs Management is interrogating him; I got the gist and came back."
The testimony of Master Yang was pretty similar to that of Liang’s mother.
However, he pushed all the blame onto her, claiming that it was her who took a large sum of money and asked for his help, and that he was merely blinded by the money.
Tired of the dog-eat-dog drama, Qing Yue didn’t want to watch and returned.
Jiangli clicked her tongue, "So boring, let’s just head back to F City."
Fu Shiyan’s gaze shifted, "We’re heading back now?"
Jiangli hummed, "It’s still early today; if we don’t go back now, I’m afraid the Unusual Affairs Management will come after us again."
She seemed quite troubled by the Unusual Affairs Management Office and the Xuanmen Association.
Fu Shiyan was just about to nod.
But Qing Yue, resting his chin on his hands, smiled affectionately, "F City, huh? I haven’t been there before. Why don’t I accompany the Abbot back and treat it as tourism, how about that?"
Jiangli glanced at him, somewhat surprised—hadn’t this person learned his lesson after being tricked?
Are foxes so foolish these days?
"What, the Abbot doesn’t want to?" Qing Yue threw a suggestive look at Jiangli, with the corners of his eyes slightly drooping, making him appear pitiful.
Fu Shiyan’s gaze was tranquil as he glanced at Qing Yue, silent yet exuding a sense of suppression.
Qing Yue blinked and looked at Jiangli and Fu Shiyan, resembling a pitiful creature that had been bullied.
Jiangli clicked her tongue, "Since you want to go, then go. It’s not like I own F City; I can’t stop you."
Upon hearing this, Qing Yue immediately smiled, "Then I’ll take it as the Abbot’s consent."
Jiangli couldn’t be bothered with him.
It was clear that Qing Yue must have had a motive.
But she was too lazy to care.
A mere little fox wouldn’t be able to stir up any waves in front of her.
With this in mind, Jiangli looked towards Xia Xin, asking him to prepare the tickets.
When Fu Shiyan heard her say this, he suggested, "Let me take care of the plane tickets. I will go back with Lili."
Knowing that Fu Shiyan didn’t really have anything else to do here, Jiangli nodded and went with him, saving a sum of money.
Jiangli’s frugality chimed loudly.
Xia Xin, upon hearing this, silently put away his phone and went to pack up.
They didn’t have much luggage, so it was quickly taken care of.
Under Fu Shiyan’s directive, Duan Jianchuan booked their flight for five in the afternoon; they still had time.
Just as Jiangli and Fu Shiyan were departing for the airport, Xia Xin received a transfer notification from Boss Wei.
Upon seeing the message, Xia Xin’s eyes widened as he carefully counted the zeroes, taking a sharp breath, "Ancestor, Boss Wei has transferred the money!"
