Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 37

“Mom, Su Miaomiao is wearing my hairpins,” Xie Wenlan entered the living room, and said aggrievedly to Qiao Lili who was sitting on the sofa entertaining guests.

Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei’s hearts skipped a beat. The girls really got into a fight so early.

Xie Rong continued to chat with Su Mingan as if he didn’t hear it.

Qiao Lili looked at her husband, smiled and asked her daughter, “Have you two made a bet?”

Xie Wenlan pursed her lips, “Yeah, I played tennis with her, and I bet on the hairpins for fun. Who knew that Su Miaomiao was serious and really wanted to take my pins. If I had won, I would definitely not be like that. She is my big sister, but she won’t let go of me at all.”

Qiao Lili took her daughter and sat down beside her, “They’re just pins. I’ll buy other ones for you later. If you lose, you lose. Don’t be stingy.”

Tang Shiwei: “Lanlan, don’t worry, I’ll tell Miaomiao later to return it to you.”

Grandma Tao: “You don’t have to return it back, a game is a game. Adults shouldn’t get involved in children’s affairs.”

Xie Rong finally interjected, “Mom is right, any competition should be taken seriously. Lanlan is a good tennis player and has won prizes, how can Miaomiao be so good?”

In his impression, Su Miaomiao was a delicate and lazy little girl, who really didn’t have any athletic ability.

Speaking of it, Grandma Tao was very proud, “When Miao Miao and Jing Yuan were just learning tennis, the coach immediately fell in love with them, saying that they were both good prospects, and wanted to recruit them to the provincial team for special training. Unfortunately, the kids were not interested after all, and the training was too hard. So I didn’t want to let the children go through that hardship.”

Su Mingan: “Jing Yuan is not bad, but our Miao Miao has difficulty getting up early. I don’t even dare to ask her to train for the provincial team.”

Xie Rong: “Now that you said that, my hands got itchy. Ming An, let’s go play with the kids.”

Su Mingan: “Okay.”

Xie Rong: “Then let’s go change our clothes.”

The two fathers in their early forties went upstairs enthusiastically.

Xie Wenlan never expected that her complaint would go in that direction.

“Let’s go and have a look too,” Grandma Tao said to Tang Shiwei with a smile.

So, everyone went to the tennis court.

Su Miaomiao was playing with Xie Jingyuan, there was no prize, she was just enjoying her time.

She couldn’t even see Xie Jingyuan. There was only a blurry figure, and in her eyes, there was only the turquoise ball flying around, landing and bouncing off.

Run, jump, swing, hit!

Every time she hit the ball successfully, Su Miaomiao would laugh happily.

Xie Jingyuan only thought he was teasing the cat.

“Hey, Miaomiao played really well,” Xie Rong, who had been watching for a few minutes, praised.

Su Mingan couldn’t hide his pride. His precious daughter didn’t like training, otherwise she would definitely be the next female player in the Grand Slam in China.

Xie Jingyuan deliberately lost a ball to Su Miaomiao, rested for a while, and changed to a four-person game between the adult group and the children group.

Xie Rong and Su Mingan quickly entered into a rhythm, cooperating with each other, one attacking and the other defending.

On the children’s side, Su Miaomiao was unwilling to cooperate with Xie Jingyuan, she would be unhappy if he dared to grab the ball from her.

Xie Jingyuan was stared at several times, so he simply stepped back and only hit the ball that Su Miaomiao couldn’t catch up with.

Watching the match, Qiao Lili said jokingly, “Miao Miao is so strong, the match has become her one-on-two.”

Tang Shiwei just kept a faint smile, but she was also very worried in her heart, her daughter’s temper was really “special”.

Grandma Tao: “It’s enough if Miao Miao is happy playing with the family. Miaomiao is so good that her one-on-two can last for so long.”

Indeed, Su Miaomiao was only fifteen years old that year. Although the two fathers were both in their early forties, they were both middle-aged men who paid attention to fitness. After playing a game for so long, they still couldn’t beat Su Miaomiao.

“Miao Miao is really fast,” Xie Rong took the time to say to Su Mingan.

Su Mingan chuckled. It was better to be fast. If she met a bad student she couldn’t beat at school, at least she could run away.

However, Su Miaomiao’s physical strength was limited after all, and with her style of play, she couldn’t last long. When she realized that she couldn’t catch the ball, her enthusiasm quickly faded, and she announced, “I’m tired, let’s stop playing!”

Xie Jingyuan left with her, and were replaced by the twins.

Grandma Tao handed Su Miaomiao a bottle of mineral water.

Su Miaomiao unscrewed the cap and drank.

Because she had just had a strenuous exercise, her face was flushed, like a freshly washed peach, with a few crystal drops of water.

Qiao Lili knew that it was actually beads of sweat, but Su Miaomiao did not make people feel that she was in an embarrassed state at all. On the contrary, she was so beautiful that even a woman couldn’t help staring at her.

Grandma Tao said, “Miaomiao, bath in my room. I’ll find you a set of clothes.”

Qiao Lili: “Lanlan has some new clothes, but I don’t know if they will fit Miaomiao.”

Grandma Tao: “No, I’ll go to Jingyuan’s room to have a look, there should be his old clothes in the closet.”

When that villa was just renovated, Xie Rong reserved a room for Grandma Tao and Xie Jingyuan. The two would come to stay for a few days every year.

Grandma Tao understood that with Su Miaomiao’s temper, she would not accept the twins’ clothes.

She took the two children to the villa, and rummaged through Xie Jinyuan’s closet, and sure enough, found a set of shorts and T-shirts that her grandson wore the previous summer. Su Miaomiao should be able to wear them too

After taking the clothes, Grandma Tao went to her room.

Su Miaomiao was drinking water, and the newly won diamond hairpins on her head were shining brightly. Grandma Tao thought that if she turned back to the age of a high school student, she would definitely like it too.

“Miaomiao is good at tennis, you can bet against Lanlan, but if you encounter a game that you are not good at, no matter how many diamonds, gold or other things you want, you can’t bet, okay? Don’t do things you are not sure of, or you will suffer a lot,” Grandma Tao taught her.

Su Miaomiao thought about it and nodded.

In her previous life, she didn’t know how to pluck men. After hearing the old demons say that plucking could speed up her cultivation, she went there foolishly, and was then arrested by Xie Jingyuan.

Demons must be self-aware and less aggressive.
