Chapter 1499: A Counterfeit Token (1/2)
Huang Xiaolong still had to react to enthusiastically being called ‘Uncle,’ when Bei Xiaomei already leaped out from her seat to embrace Huang Xiaolong.
The faint scent of a young girl wafted into Huang Xiaolong’s nose.
Huang Xiaolong felt awkward being ‘attacked’ by Bei Xiaomei in front of Elder Fu and the four women.
This girl, doesn’t she see all these other people around us?
In truth, Bei Xiaomei was too excited to notice anyone else other than Huang Xiaolong. She even forgot Elder Fu’s presence.
“Uncle, what took you so long! I missed you so much.” Bei Xiaomei complained in Huang Xiaolong’s embrace.
Huang Xiaolong cleared his throat awkwardly and squeezed a smile, “I-is that so? I only came out of seclusion not long ago, and came to visit you right away. I don’t want to become a piggy.”
Bei Xiaomei laughed gleefully upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong had brought up the ‘piggy.’ Her crisp laughter rang like a melody in everyone’s ears.
“That’s right! If a piggy were to come visit me in the future, I would not even recognize that it’s Uncle.” Bei Xiaomei readily agreed.
Huang Xiaolong really did not know what to say.
At this time, Bei Xiaomei took the time to look around and finally noticed there were actually so many people in the inner hall. Her face reddened slightly and she quickly separated herself from Huang Xiaolong’s wide chest.
Bei Xiaomei pretended to be calm as she greeted Fang Xuanxuan, Peng Xiao, Li Lu, and Yao Chi. Her attention then fell on the little cow. “Little Cowie, you’re here too.”
Little Cowie!
Others in the room had a strange expression on their faces at her title for the little cow.
The little cow rolled her eyes at Bei Xiaomei, and sounded disgruntled as she spoke, “I say little girl, you should call me Senior.”
Bei Xiaomei smiled sweetly as she said, “Senior Little Cowie.”
The four women simultaneously erupted into laughter.
The little cow was genuinely depressed. She protested, “Alright, alright, this cow’s not going to argue with a little girl like you. Is your father Bei Lengyang around?”
Elder Fu had not left yet, and had merely retreated slightly to the side. But when he heard the little cow speak out their President’s full name, he was shocked.
Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao were obviously surprised as well.
Father, Bei Lengyang?!
The Silver Fox Commerce’s President’s name was Bei Lengyang; Bei Xiaomei’s father? Does that mean this name the little cow had mentioned earlier at the lobby was the Silver Fox Commerce’s President?
But, how did the little cow know the Silver Fox Commerce’s President?!
Fang Xuanxuan knew that even her father, Fang Gan, didn't know the Silver Fox Commerce President’s real name.
Hearing the little cow’s question, there was a light of surprise in Bei Xiaomei’s eyes. “Little Cowie, no, Senior Little Cowie, you really know my father?”
Elder Fu was just as surprised. In truth, a moment ago, he was considering if Bei Xiaomei had leaked about her father to Huang Xiaolong, and Huang Xiaolong had mentioned it to his pet mount… but it didn’t seem like it!
The little cow raised her jaw proudly as she said, “It’s not like knowing your father is a great feat or something. Here, take this thing and show it to your father and he’ll come see me.” A light glimmered as a token appeared from the necklace around her neck.
This token was similar to the silver fox token Bei Xiaomei had given to Huang Xiaolong in the past, but Bei Xiaomei and Elder Fu could tell at a single glance that it was not the same token, since the diagram at the center was vastly different!
All of Silver Fox Commerce’s tokens, regardless of grades, were inscribed with the head of silver fox at the center, whereas the silver token the little cow had taken out was a cow’s head! It was a cow head on the silver token!
The ‘cow’ on the token looked similar to the little cow with slight dissimilarities.
Both Bei Xiaomei and Elder Fu were baffled and surprised.
Their Silver Fox Commerce has such a token?
