Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 46

When the two sides met, Xie Jingyuan stepped on the ground with one foot, but he did not reach out to pat Xu Shou’s head, but said, “I still have a room vacant at home, I will discuss it with grandma tonight, if she agrees, you can move there and live with us.”

If Xu Shou was just an ordinary poor student from the countryside, he would have a certain amount of self-esteem and would take Xie Jingyuan’s invitation as sympathy.

But his soul was of a two-hundred-year-old dog demon, a loyal one who swore to follow and serve Xie Jingyuan for the rest of his life.

He nodded without hesitation, revealing a sincere smile.

Xie Jingyuan also smiled, and advised him, “Go back, don’t break the discipline of the dormitory.”

That made sense, and Xu Shou finally agreed to leave.

Xie Jingyuan also rode in the direction of Pearl Garden again.

As he was riding, the person behind him leaned her head, and scratched his back with her finger.

Cats and dogs were naturally at odds, so Xie Jingyuan guessed, “You don’t want Xu Shou to move in, right?”

Su Miaomiao let out a slight sigh, and then reacted, and said, “I don’t want to, can you not let him come?”

Xie Jingyuan: “It depends on what grandma says.”

Su Miaomiao continued to scratch him.

Xie Jingyuan also guessed that she had other things on her mind “You want Gu Jialing’s earring?”

Su Miaomiao finally gave up.

Xie Jingyuan: “That kind of earring is very expensive.”

Su Miaomiao: “You are rich. My cousin said that you have earned at least hundreds of thousands.”

Xie Jingyuan almost forgot that she also had a cousin who could help her settle accounts, although that cousin’s estimate was not accurate.

That was why he didn’t want to tell Su Miaomiao how much he earned.

If Su Miaomiao thought he had ten yuan, she would only ask for gifts worth nine yuan at most, but if they were exchanged for hundreds of thousands or millions, the price of the gifts she asked for would also increase accordingly.

Xie Jingyuan made a rule for her, “During school, you can ask for gifts over one thousand yuan only once a year.”

Su Miaomiao blinked and asked, “Does birthday present count?”

Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, and said, “That is given separately, it doesn’t count this time.”

Su Miaomiao was relieved, “Then for this year’s gift, I want that kind of earrings.”

Xie Jingyuan: “Okay, I’ll take you to buy it during the holidays.”

Su Miaomiao was very happy, happily hugging Xie Jingyuan and rubbing against him.

Xie Jingyuan’s back stiffened, but fortunately she finished rubbing quickly, and began to chat about other things, “Why is Gu Jialing so rich?”

Xie Jingyuan: “His family has a mine.”

On the way, he told her about Gu Jialing’s family’s situation.

Su Miaomiao felt that Gu Jialing was lucky to be born into a super wealthy family, but also unlucky to have no parents.

If they were allowed to choose which family to reincarnate into, Su Miaomiao would still choose the Su family.

She liked her parents and Grandma Tao the most.

Back home, Su Miaomiao received a warm welcome from her parents. Su Mingan also prepared supper for her daughter and invited Xie Jingyuan to eat with her.

Standing at the door, Xie Jingyuan could smell the fried fish wafting from the kitchen.

“No, I have to do my homework.”

Xie Jingyuan bid farewell to the couple and entered his house.

Grandma Tao just came out of the bathroom. When she saw her grandson, she smiled and asked about the evening self-study.

Xie Jingyuan chatted briefly.

Grandma Tao: “I warmed tofu and fried dough sticks for you, do you want to eat?”

Xie Jingyuan was in the stage of growing up, he was indeed a little hungry, so he asked Grandma Tao to sit, and went to the kitchen to get supper.

The grandmother and grandson sat at the dining table facing each other. Xie Jingyuan looked at Grandma Tao’s kind face and mentioned Xu Shou, “Grandma, Xu Shou has a withdrawn personality and doesn’t get along with his roommates in the dormitory. I want him to move in and live with us.”

Grandma Tao looked at her grandson unexpectedly.

In the past, acquaintances in the warm community praised her grandson for being helpful, but Grandma Tao knew that her grandson was kind-hearted but cold-tempered, and he was also a lonely kind. Among the children of the same age, her grandson only had one real friend, Miaomiao. Her grandson had never taken the initiative to mention Lin Xi and Feng Xiaoyu to her. He only just met Xu Shou at the high school, and had such a good relationship with him.

“It doesn’t matter if there is one more person living with us. Do you trust him?” Grandma Tao asked simply.

Xie Jingyuan: “Yes,”

Grandma Tao smiled, her grandson was not an ordinary high school student, she believed in his judgment.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll pack up your father’s things tomorrow and ask him to send someone to fetch them. You can bring Xu Shou over tomorrow.”

Xie Rong was Grandma Tao’s only son, and Grandma Tao did care about him.

However, since Xie Rong got married for the second time and abandoned them to start a new family, Grandma Tao’s affection had also cooled down.

The initial freshness of the marriage passed, and the son started to be annoyed by Qiao Lili. Only then did he think of staying with them more often.

The so-called many meant two or three nights a month. After all, Xie Rong was too busy. He was in one city one day, and he might go to another place the next day.

Grandma Tao really didn’t miss such a child.

Instead of leaving that secondary bedroom empty most of the time, she could give it to her grandson’s new best friend.

The next day, Grandma Tao called Xie Rong.

Xie Rong was skeptical about the arrangement, “How can the classmate he just met be said to be reliable?”

Grandma Tao: “How long did you know Lili before you got married?”

Xie Rong: “…”

The freshly washed school uniform exuded the smell of sunshine. Because the weather was still a little hot, Su Miaomiao wore the short-sleeved one.
