Chapter 98: Chapter 98

Zhou family.

Sun Miaoyin frowned and said gloomily, “Miaomiao, how could she do such a thing?”

It’s only two thousand taels of silver. For the sake of two thousand taels of silver, it was not worth it to lose the Sun family’s face and support of Xiao Muhong. The loss outweighed the gain, ah!! What’s more, Xiao Jingting ignored her and Sun Miaomiao lost her face this time.

“As a matter of fact, it can’t all be blamed on Miss Miao. If Xiao Muhong hadn’t been so cowardly, Miss Miaomiao wouldn’t be like this,” Sun Miaoyin’s maid said.

Sun Miaoyin’s face sank, Xiao Muhong was not so cowardly before, but recently…

With Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu still alive, the situation had completely changed, making Xiao Muhong not daring to step up.

“Is Miaomiao tight with money these days?” Sun Miaoyin asked.

“I guess so. Miss Miao has always been used to spending a lot of silver. Besides, cultivation also costs a lot of silver.”

Sun Miaoyin sighed lightly; cultivation was a bottomless pit!

“Recently, Xiao Jingting seems to be very well-off. When the second Miss went shopping, she met Xiao Jingting. Xiao Jingting bought a storage bracelet for Xu Muan, which was almost ten thousand taels of silver,” The maid sourly said.

Sun Miaoyin clenched her fists and thought in her heart: Miaomiao was stimulated by Xu Muan. Miaomiao’s budget was so tight now she couldn’t even afford to buy clothes worth two thousand taels of silver, yet Xiao Jingting bought Xu Muan a storage bracelet worth almost ten thousand taels of silver. Who was Xu Muan?! Xiao Jingting held someone dear. It was no wonder that Miaomiao felt uncomfortable.

“Xiao Jinfeng’s shop is now very prosperous?” Sun Miaoyin asked.

“That’s not it. It seems that the store has expanded a lot, and they seem to be hiring people. I heard that there are caravans from other towns coming here to buy drinks,” The maid said.

Sun Miaoyin felt an unexplained sour and stuffy feeling in her heart.

“Miss, no matter how well Xiao Jinfeng’s shop is run, it’s only just a bit of silver. But, Young Master Zhou is still a level six Qi Practitioner,” The maid looked at Sun Miaoyin’s face and said.

Sun Miaoyin nodded and said, “Yes.”

……

The matter of Sun Miaomiao being rejected in public also reached Zheng Pei’er’s ears.

When Zheng Pei’er heard it, she started gloating.

Zheng Pei’er was full of mockery as she thought: Things were not the same now as they were in the past. Miss Sun still thought of Xiao Jingting as the stupid young man from that time and thought that if she hooked her finger, Xiao Jingting would still be charmed by her.

In the past, when the first house came to power and Sun Miaomiao married over, she didn’t miss her chance to say something sarcastic to Zheng Pei’er. Later, when Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu came back, Zheng Pei’er would pick on Sun Miaomiao when she had nothing to do, and the two of them had always maintained such a tacit understanding.

“Right now, Xiao Jingting no longer likes her, besides, Miss Sun is too clueless. She is married to Xiao Muhong, yet she still says those kinds of things to Xiao Jingting.” The maid said.

Zheng Pei’er nodded and said, “Isn’t that so? Acting like she was unattainable before but she was just a bitch at heart.” Sun Miaomiao made such a big blunder that it was enough for her to laugh for a while.

“I heard that Miss Sun saw Young master Jingting buy a storage bracelet for Xu Muan, so that’s why she insisted that master Jingting should buy her that gauze dress,” The maid said.

The arrogance on Zheng Pei’er’s face retreated.

Zheng Pei’er knew that Xiao Jingting had bought two storage rings before. One for himself and another was given to Xiao Jinfeng. How long had it been?! He also bought a storage bracelet for Xu Muan, which meant he earned a lot of money and Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng were going to stick together.

“Master is coming back soon, he seems to have advanced to sixth level of Qi Practice in academy,” The maid said.

Zheng Pei’er smiled. No matter how great Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng’s situation now was, they could only earn some silver. When Xiao Qingyan advanced to the ninth level of Qi Practice, this much money would only be a matter of waving his hand.

The head of the family did nothing all day, and was in seclusion trying to build his foundation, while other people still gave him money.

…………

Sun Qi sat in the restaurant opposite the beverage shop, glancing at the crowded beverage shop below from time to time.

“The business of this beverage store is really good!” Sun Qi said.

“That’s not true, now those little ones in the family all clamor to drink the drinks from this shop every day. They don’t even want the drinks that cost a silver or two, but want to drink these that cost three or more, relying on their young age. The elders in the family are still getting used to this,” Zheng Liming was full of resentment.

Sun Qi’s eyes reddened, “I heard that Xiao Jinfeng is only helping Xiao Jingting and it is Xiao Jingting who is the big boss behind this beverage store.”

“I heard that Xiao Jingting is dragging around nowadays and is even ignoring Sun Miaomiao,” Zheng Liming said.

Sun Qi frowned. Sun Miaomiao said this kind of thing in the public, causing Sun Miaomiao’s father to be severely scolded by elders in the family.

Sun Hao was quite ridiculous. Since Sun Miaomiao lost face because of Xiao Jingting and Sun Qi had a good relationship with him before, Sun Hao was finding fault with him everywhere.

Sun Qi used to follow Xiao Jingting, but now that Xiao Jingting became rich, he had long been ignored.

“Xiao Jingting’s relationship with Xu Muan is very good now, and he even bought him a storage bracelet worth almost 10,000 taels of silver,” Zheng Liming said.

“I’ve heard.” It was the storage bracelet that made Sun Miaomiao say that.

That guy Xiao Jingting was really strange, when he saw Miss Sun before, he would immediately curry favor with her like a dog wagging his tail, but now he kept his distance from Miss Sun. A person could change so much. However, it was not strange, Sun Miaomiao used to be a pure and innocent lady, but now she was a married woman.

Sun Qi sighed lightly and thought to himself: If only Xiao Jingting was still as gullible as before, it would be good.
