Chapter 107 - The Weasel Goes to Pay Respects to the Hen—Not with the Best Intentions (2/2)

Ning Shuqian’s expression turned sour. It was her first time visiting the Mo Family, and she did not expect that Old Mr. Mo would not honor her. Not only did he let a servant receive her, but he also brought her to the small hall as well.

Wen Xinya saw through Ning Shuqian’s expression and hurriedly explained. “Aunt Ning, you know that the Mo household only has Grampy as the sole owner. Grampy is old, and as a great Confucian scholar, many people come to seek advice. Of course, he cannot let everyone into the living room.”

On the inside, she was laughing uncontrollably. Uncle Zhang is such a genius to come up with this way of humiliating Ning Shuqian and company!

Ning Shuqian felt better after hearing this. Old Mr. Mo was a senior, it would be inappropriate for him to receive them. “I understand.”

Ning Shuqian and company finally arrived in the living room.

This was Ning Shuqian’s first time in the Mo Family. Although she tried to remain warm and generous, her eyes could not help but wander around carefully, vaguely revealing her fiery greed, shock, and confusion.

Meanwhile, as Wen Yuya was still young, she did not know the value of these antiques. She took it that the Mo house was just decorated rather old-fashionedly, unlike Ning Shuqian’s expression of greed and shock. Her eyes showed no traces of plotting against the Mo Family and looked around as if it was her own home.

In contrast, Xia Ruya’s behavior was much more elegant and noble, but Wen Xinya noticed the fleeting unwillingness to come to visit in her eyes.

Wen Xinya took note of all of their expressions, and her eyes flashed with distaste for a brief moment. “Aunt Ning, don’t just stand there, come sit!”

Ning Shuqian smiled quickly. “You were kidnapped and suffered such a big shock. I have specially brought over bird’s blood from Thailand’s Roland Rock Mountain for to you regain your health and strength.”

Wen Xinya looked at the boxes of supplements on the coffee table. They were from “Good Food Hall” and definitely cost a large sum of money. “Thank you, Aunt Ning. I’m already very happy that you are visiting me, you did not have to bring gifts along.”

Wen Yuya chipped in. “I also prepared a gift for sister. I specially went to Qingquan Temple to pray for this safety charm. When Sister brings it around, it will definitely keep you safe and healthy.” She handed over an exquisite little sachet to Wen Xinya.

This charm was indeed from Qingquan Temple. But instead of being a peace charm, it was a symbol of evil. When she prayed for it, she was very sincere in asking God for Wen Xinya’s death—for her to choke while drinking water, fall when walking, choke while eating, or get hacked when going out.

Wen Xinya reached her hand out, touched. “Yuya, thanks for the thought.”

Xia Ruya handed over a delicate box to Wen Xinya and smiled. “I went to Qingquan Temple together with Yuya. She prayed for the peace charm while I requested the master of Qingquan Temple to bless this piece of jade so that it can ward off evil.”

She was not as childish as Yuya, who even asked someone to draw a picture of a ghost. This piece of jade was indeed blessed by the master, but she never believed in these superstitious things. Whether it would work was another matter; thus, she did not resort to such petty tricks.

Wen Xinya was extremely grateful. “Thank you!”

Ning Shuqian saw that the atmosphere became very harmonious and could not help but ask, “Earlier when you were kidnapped, your Grandpa was so worried that his hair turned white. Later on, when you were rescued, your Grandpa was so elated that he forgot to thank the person who saved your life. Today your Grandpa specially asked me to come to ask you who that person is so that Wen Family can thank your savior warmly and properly.”
