Chapter 209 What's the plan?
Although Dai Zhi was still reluctant to give up the Night Pearl, she compromised in the face of so many treasures.
"Here you go! We'll give you the Night Pearl! Don't smash it, don't smash it!"
Seeing that Dai Zhi had given in, Xiao Wenchang didn't want to insist anymore.
Face is not as important as treasure.
"Yes, I'll give it to you. Isn't that enough?"
Xiao Ran stopped struggling only after he was sure that the other party did not seem to be lying.
Xiao Wenchang tried to loosen his grip and shouted at Xiao Jin, "Why are you still standing there? Go get the Night Pearl!"
Xiao Jin was already frightened by the scene. Only after hearing the reminder did he realize what was happening and went to get the night pearl.
He brought Ye Mingzhu to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran looked disgusted.
"Come east, fetch some water!"
"Yes, Master!"
Donglai responded by fetching a basin of water. Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi looked at Xiao Ran curiously, wondering what Xiao Ran was going to do next.
Xiao Ran put the night pearl into the basin of water.
"This night pearl is too dirty, Donglai, please wash it for me!"
"Yes!"
Donglai started washing and washing non-stop.
The night pearl is not dirty, it is Xiao Ran who thinks the person who touches it is dirty.
Although Xiao Jin was young, he understood one of the issues. He was deeply shocked and burst into tears, then walked up to Dai Zhi.
"Mom! He's the dirty one!"
Xiao Wenchang was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched.
"I've already returned the Night Pearl to you, why are you still being so unreasonable?"
"Compared to you guys, I'm far behind!"
"you……"
Xiao Wenchang was so angry that his chest hurt.
Dai Zhi hurried forward to comfort her.
"How are you, sir?"
Xiao Wenchang closed his eyes and said nothing, his face looking grim.
Dai Zhi looked at Xiao Ran and choked up, "Ran'er, I know you have a problem with me. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as getting married, but I don't mind a child like you. I called you back today just to have a harmonious family meal together. Look at how you treat us!"
Xiao Ran snorted coldly, "Don't pretend to be nice in front of me. Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
Xiao Wenchang took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said to Dai Zhi, "I told you that such a rebellious son couldn't be allowed to come back, and you even spoke well of him. Are you satisfied now?"
"Master, calm down first! After all, we are all family."
Xiao Ran sneered.
"You're at it again! You're such a good pretender! I really don't want to expose you, but you're shameless, so I won't be polite!"
"The reason you asked us to come back wasn't because you wanted to have a family dinner together, but because my wedding wasn't held at the Xiao Mansion. You were afraid it would affect your reputation and that outsiders would think you and I were at odds. You didn't let me hold the wedding at the Xiao Mansion, so you deliberately staged this drama."
"I'm telling you clearly, you want to pretend to be a good person, you want to leave a good reputation, no way!"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly understood.
No wonder Dai Zhi suddenly called them back.
Although Dai Zhi was exposed, how could she admit it in front of Xiao Wenchang?
"Ran'er, I didn't. How could I possibly think that? I just wanted to ease the relationship between you and your father. Daughter-in-law, I've even prepared your red envelopes."
Xiao Ran was disdainful.
"Bah! Who is your son? Shame on you! We don't even want your red envelope!"
He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he asked Donglai to put away the night pearl and pushed Su Xiaoxiao away.
Back home, Su Xiaoxiao comforted Xiao Ran.
"It's good that the Night Pearl is coming back, don't be angry!"
Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'm not angry!"
"You're still pretending to be calm in front of me!"
"I'm really not angry. I've adapted to it. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that I blame myself for not being able to protect the things my mother left me!"
"I'll keep it safe with you from now on!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Ran smiled gently and handed the night pearl to Su Xiaoxiao.
"You rest at home, I'm going out for a while!"
"What are you going for?"
"Take back what's mine!"
Su Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank slightly.
"Are you still going back to the Xiao Mansion?"
"Well, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll be back soon!"
Xiao Ran took Dong Lai and left.
Su Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious at home, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Ran.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran came back.
Seeing Xiao Ran’s smiling face and coming back safe and sound, Su Xiaoxiao finally let go of her worries.
Before she could say anything, the servants began to move things into the house.
Most of Xiao Ran's things in the Xiao Mansion yard were moved here by Xiao Ran.
"You just moved here like that?"
Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes! I'm so tired!"
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"These are all my mother's dowry, so of course I want to take them all back!"
"Mother's dowry?"
"Yup!"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"Didn't Grandpa disapprove of Mom's marriage? And he even prepared a dowry for her?"
Xiao Ran shook his head.
"Grandpa didn't give Mom a dowry at first, but Mom was able to earn it herself! Moreover, when Grandpa and my aunt found out I was born, they both sent me a lot of things. These were Mom's, and now they belong to us. We can't let those two get away with it!"
"Yes, we can't let them get away with it!"
Su Xiaoxiao admired Meng Ruyan even more.
What a strong woman!
……
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran had finished their lunch and were just about to take a break when Donglai hurried in.
"Master, Madam, the Master and Madam are here!"
Xiao Ran sneered.
"You must be reluctant to part with these good things!"
"Do they still dare to come and rob?"
“Just go and see and you’ll find out!”
Xiao Ran pushed Su Xiaoxiao out.
When I arrived at the front yard, I heard Gu Zhen cursing Dai Zhi.
"My aunt was so good to you, and you, a slave, turned so ungrateful that you carried her on your back and climbed into her bed, making her so angry that she fell ill. Now you have the nerve to come to my aunt's house and ask for her dowry. How can there be such a shameless bitch like you in this world!"
Dai Zhi was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but for the sake of her personal image, she did not curse back. Instead, she hid in front of Xiao Wenchang and felt aggrieved.
"Master, how could she humiliate me like this!"
Xiao Wenchang scolded Gu Zhen with a dark face.
"How can you, an unmarried woman, speak so harshly? You don't act like a lady from a noble family at all. How disrespectful!"
Gu Zhen was no longer polite.
"Xiao Wenchang! I used to respect you and call you uncle, but now my aunt has been pissed off by you. You're nothing to me now. Stop lecturing me like an elder. You have no right to do that!"
"Bastard!"
"So what if I'm a bastard! This is my aunt's house and my cousin's home. I can do whatever I want!"
Xiao Wenchang didn't expect that Gu Zhen, who used to be very sensible, would become like this. He was so angry that his hands kept shaking.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao gave Gu Zhen a thumbs up in their hearts.
"My cousin is right. This is my home. No one can stop you from doing whatever you want!"
Xiao Wenchang pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, I am your father!"
"So what?"
"You are unfilial!"
