Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 210

When Xu Shou and the other two went to visit their rooms, Mr. Gu quietly asked his grandson, “The four of you have been together all the time, Jing Yuan doesn’t smile as much as you do, and he’s not as good at helping as Xu Shou, so how did he chase Miaomiao?”

“…Do you want Su Miaomiao to be your granddaughter-in-law?”

“What’s the use of thinking? They already have obtained the certificate, so you have no chance.”

“I don’t even want the chance!”

Su Miaomiao was a cat, and he was a bird, so why chase her? 

Mr. Gu’s birthday banquet was very lively, and maybe half of the people in the town came to have the banquet.

Gu Jialing also passionately performed a piece of Peking Opera, which aroused bursts of applause.

Mr. Gu smiled happily. His grandson was his most valuable treasure.

It wasn’t until night fell that the villa became quiet.

Old man Gu drank and became sleepy, so Gu Jialing helped him to the room on the second floor.

Gu Jialing’s room was located on the third floor, while the two guest rooms were situated on the fourth floor.

It was just after six o’clock, and even Su Miaomiao felt that it was too early to go to bed.

The group of four gathered in the theater room, and since none of the three had a particular movie preference, Gu Jialing made the decision and picked the first part of Xie Jingyuan’s “Suppressing the Demon” series, which had premiered several years ago.

As he sat next to Xu Shou, Gu Jialingn commented, “The Taoist master’s novel is wonderful, but among the seven movies, I still like the first one the most.”

Su Miaomiao thought of something and looked resentfully at Xie Jingyuan .

She still remembered how the Taoist master once made a character based on Gu Jialing, and she had also requested a character for herself, but the Taoist master refused to write anything.

If he really wrote about a cat that did not have Su Miaomiao’s original form, she would definitely be angry. If they could really make it exactly like her with the special effects, it would definitely turn to such a beautiful cat. But what would happen between the demon and the male lead was something Xie Jingyuan didn’t want to see.

Su Miaomiao was always next to Xie Jingyuan, when that fierce and terrifying big black snake appeared, she hid in his arms again.

Gu Jialing and Xu Shou were sitting in front, so when they heard the movement, they both turned their heads at the same time. Seeing the scene, they turned back at the same time.

Some scenes, when seen too many times, were not worth making a fuss about.

At the end of the movie, Xie Jingyuan sent Su Miaomiao back to the room first, and then he went to Xu Shou’s room opposite.

“Why are you being polite? Sit down and talk.”

Xie Jingyuan first asked him how his grandparents were doing, and then asked him about his recent work.

When Xu Shou was reporting, Xie Jingyuan saw a light in his eyes.

“Do you like your current job?” Xie Jingyuan asked.

Xu Shou nodded, “I like it. The bigger the company, the easier it’s for some dark sides to be discovered. I will help the Taoist master to prevent this from happening.”

The Xie Group had hundreds of thousands of employees. Xu Shou had been trained by Xie Rong to be the next CEO. So he needed to be responsible for those hundreds of thousands of employees, including providing them with a healthy and orderly working environment.

Su Miaomiao liked to play tennis and sleep. Gu Jialing liked the woods, and Xu Shou’s hobby was to keep an area peaceful and orderly.

Therefore, even though Xu Shou’s intention for joining the Xie Group was to take care of the Xie family’s property, in the process, he also enjoyed it.

Xie Jingyuan stood up and patted Xu Shou on the shoulder.

Xu Shou showed him a loyal and honest smile.

But Xie Jingyuan had seen his working side in the group. At that time, Xu Shou was more like a dog, and he didn’t allow employees to fool around.

After talking with him, Xie Jingyuan went back to his and Su Miaomiao’s room. He thought she should have fallen asleep, but saw her lying in front of the glass window, observing something.

Xie Jingyuan walked to her side. Through the glass window, he saw the branches swaying in the wind in the yard, and a white cat.

The villa held a banquet during the day, and there may be some food scent left, which attracted the cat.

“There is another one over there,” Su Miaomiao pointed to a corner and said.

Xie Jingyuan smiled, hugged her and said, “Maybe they’re hungry.”

Su Miaomiao didn’t like cats other than herself, but seeing the two cats looking for food, she thought of herself.

After she was driven away from home by her mother and before she started to learn to cultivate spiritually, Su Miaomiao was often hungry. Sometimes she managed to find something to eat, only for it to be snatched away by other demons that were stronger than her.

No matter how warm her fur was, she needed shelter from the wind in winter. Those two cats must be extremely hungry to go out to look for food at that time.

“Do you want to feed them?” Xie Jingyuan asked after observing her expression.

Just as Su Miaomiao was about to nod, Gu Jialing appeared in the yard and threw a big chicken drumstick to the two cats respectively, and said, “I am already entertaining one, so it doesn’t make any difference if there are two more cats. Why only her? Is she more noble than you two? We birds are the most fair, not like some people, who are partial to one!”

Su Miaomiao: “…”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Gu Jialing fed the cats and looked at them provocatively.

Su Miaomiao was about to go down and beat him when Xie Jingyuan hugged her with one hand and closed the curtain with the other.

The light cast their figures on the curtains, and they seemed to be embracing each other.

As soon as Gu Jialing thought his eyes were getting hot, the light in that room was turned off.

He clicked his tongue twice, and came to the fourth floor to chat with Xu Shou.

Xu Shou sat on the bed with his notebook on his lap, looking serious.

Gu Jialing probed to take a look, but Xu Shou slammed the screen shut with a displeased expression, saying, “It involves the company’s secrets, so don’t look.”

Gu Jialing sneered, “I even know the secret that you’re a dog, but you still care about the company’s secrets?”
