Chapter 660: Depleted Card, Tricked
Lin Haoxing ignored him and flailed around, obviously wanting to kick Qi Zhenbai. Qi Zhenbai moved away effortlessly. Lin Haoxing couldn’t kick him with his short legs at all, and his little face flushed red with anger.
“Zhenbai, don’t be like that. Xingxing can’t breathe.” Chi Shuyan stretched out her hands and smiled, feeling a little helpless as she watched the adult and child fight each other despite having only met a few times.
Qi Zhenbai avoided Chi Shuyan’s hands and said indifferently, “This little fatty is quite heavy. You can’t carry him; let me!”
Lin Haoxing glared at Qi Zhenbai with grief and indignation. He was about to shout that he had clearly lost a few pounds, when he noticed Chi Shuyan’s smiling eyes and blushed. In front of Sister Shuyan, he immediately felt a little guilty. Okay, he had gained a few pounds. After he ate his fill next time, he would definitely become serious about losing weight!
“Sister, take a look at Little Fox. It was still shouting about eating chicken and snacks just now. Why is it so quiet now?” Lin Haoxing sat in the car and suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly took out Little Fox, who was sleeping soundly in his backpack.
Chi Shuyan took a closer look at the muddled little fox. When it opened its eyes and realized that it had changed hands, its white fur exploded. Chi Shuyan raised her hand and easily suppressed it, and it whined plaintively at Lin Haoxing.
Chi Shuyan looked at the little fox’s bulging belly and smiled. “It’s fine; it’s just too gluttonous. It gets sleepy easily after eating too much. Just use the spiritual energy in the jade token to nourish it for the next few days.”
Only then did Lin Haoxing relax and say happily, “By the way, Sister, I made a lot of money on the plane.” He bounced around as he recounted what happened on the plane.
“Xingxing is so awesome!” Chi Shuyan feigned surprise and stroked Lin Haoxing’s head.
Lin Haoxing’s fair little face flushed red at Chi Shuyan’s praise, and his big eyes sparkled. He blinked, and his long eyelashes fluttered like a fan. He looked very shy as he took out a card from his bag and handed it to Chi Shuyan. He lowered his long eyelashes and said obediently, “It’s clearly Sister who’s awesome. All the talismans are from Sister.”
“Although they are my talismans, it’s Xingxing who found me clients.” Chi Shuyan smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and said in a deep voice, “But, Xingxing, don’t sell your talismans next time. Did you forget what happened last night?”
As soon as Lin Haoxing heard Chi Shuyan’s lecture, he immediately nodded and said aggrievedly, “It won’t happen again. I just saw that the auntie was about to cry. Besides, I didn’t want to sell them anyway. I wanted to introduce you to them, but they said they had something urgent.”
When Chi Shuyan heard Lin Haoxing’s words, she vaguely felt that something was off. Even if they really had an urgent matter, it would make more sense if they didn’t believe a child like Haoxing, even if they were desperate. Moreover, from what Xingxing said, it seemed that one of them didn’t believe him at first, but took the initiative to do so later on. This change in att.i.tude was too strange.
Chi Shuyan, who sensed that something was wrong, checked Lin Haoxing’s account the next day. Sure enough, not only was there no 250,000 in that bank card, it was clearly a depleted card!
Haoxing had been tricked.
Chi Shuyan frowned and was a bit angry. She didn’t care about those talismans; it was just that these two clearly didn’t believe Haoxing at all, so why pretend to believe him on the surface, but deliberately toy with him?
She didn’t hide this matter from Lin Haoxing either. When she saw Lin Haoxing’s teary eyes, her heart ached terribly, and she hurriedly comforted him. “Okay, don’t cry. Sister Shuyan doesn’t blame you. I just hope that you won’t trust others so easily in the future and stay vigilant. Fortunately, it was only those talismans this time. If it was this rare treasure of yours that was grabbed, won’t your grandfather beat me to death?”
