Chapter 483 - 26: Kids Bullying Adults 2

"You’re saying it was her who wrecked my car?" the manager with the surname Dong pressed with a question.
"It was her, just now this bunch of people even beat up Wang Rong to cover up the car theft," the security guard continued to chime in on the side.
"It was them, Manager Dong, if your car is broken, you’ve got to look for these people for compensation, and my medical expenses should be claimed from them too," the tricycle driver whined with a sobbing tone.
"Uncle Dong, do you really believe what they’re saying?" Xuerou put on a wronged expression and approached the BMW owner who came knocking.
"Of course, I don’t believe it, Xiao Rou, that’s how it is in tourist areas, brimming with all sorts of frauds and cheaters. Uncle Dong has told you before, let me know when you come to Chengde, see what happens now—you got entangled with this sort of people," Manager Dong suppressed the anger in his heart. These local scoundrels only added trouble to the local investment promotion efforts.
He and Mrs. Zeng were business partners in the market, and he had always wanted to persuade her to develop a hotel estate locally. Mrs. Zeng, citing the local security environment and demographic composition being too complicated, had been reluctant to invest.
Last night, he received a call from Zeng Xuerou, saying she was in Chengde and wanted to treat him to a meal. Zeng Xuerou, being the apple of Mrs. Zeng’s eye, could surely be pleased by a delightful stay in Chengde, dispelling any hesitations of Mrs. Zeng from investing locally.
Manager Dong drove over to Summer Villa overnight and treated Xuerou to a meal at a local tea house, but unfortunately, she mentioned she had been playing in Summer Villa for several days and would leave tomorrow morning.
After sending Zeng Xuerou off from the tea house, Manager Dong went to retrieve his car from the parking lot, only to find the front door of his newly purchased sedan had been damaged in a crash. Not far away was a disabled person’s tricycle, its front also smashed up. He immediately started searching for the vehicle’s owner.
"You say she would steal your car? Who do you think she is, that she would stoop to steal your junk car? Her family could exchange any of their cars for dozens of yours. And Xuerou is still a minor, she’s always been an obedient and sensible child, she doesn’t even drive, you people are just the termites of Chengde, not dealing with you properly, how can investors feel assured to invest here." Manager Dong made a direct call, and the local public security bureau arrived to cuff and take the people away.
Seeing this, the security captain also scolded the guard who helped make trouble, and Manager Dong bought an array of local specialties, escorting Xuerou and her friends to the bus station. To express her gratitude, Xuerou very "considerately" promised she would never divulge the "bullying incident" that happened locally to her mother. Manager Dong was so touched he was nearly moved to tears.
After the three of them rushed to the station, Mrs. Zeng was already waiting there, and inevitably exchanged a few warm greetings with Manager Dong.
While the elders were discussing boring business matters, Xiao Xian and her two friends sat in a corner of the waiting room.
"Wow, Xuerou you’re so bad, Xiao Xian you too, you must have known all about it, right? And you just kept it from me," Zhang Yiyi combined the before and after of the event and couldn’t help admiring her two friends for their serial stratagems.
"We are nothing compared to you, those two slaps just now—the clarity of the sound, the precision of the force, are worthy of being called the number one heroine of the world," Xiao Xian mimicked Zhang Yiyi’s actions with a fierce pounce.
"And that’s not all, you even dared to say we are all minors, if you’ve got the guts, come and catch us," Zeng Xuerou laughed until she leaned on the bench, catching the attention of Mrs. Zeng who was conversing with someone. It seemed her daughter had a quite enjoyable time in Chengde, and Mrs. Zeng nodded with contentment.
"Let’s not talk about that, anyway, when the three of us get together, it’s just like that saying... what was it? ’Three cobblers with their wits combined exceed the wisdom of Zhuge Liang.’ Aside from the food being a bit unsatisfactory, the rest of the trip to Chengde was pretty good," Zhang Yiyi spoke of the colorful gecko, feeling an itch in her throat.
"If the food wasn’t good enough, you can go home and have your dad make it up to you. Also, this egg, we brought it down from the mountain yesterday, it’s really tasty," Xiao Xian tossed the reed chicken egg to Zhang Yiyi, who didn’t hesitate, as her breakfast had been rudely interrupted by those people, and she had barely eaten a few bites.
Zhang Yiyi peeled the egg and began eating it right there in the station.
As the car pulled away from Chengde City, Xiao Xian and Xuerou couldn’t help but gaze out the window, while Zhang Yiyi, seated in the back, fell asleep as soon as she hit the seat cushion. Mrs. Zeng was busy flipping through the documents in her hand, she had secured a project in Tianjin and there would be plenty to take care of once back.
"Do you think that Monk Tianya is really a person from the Kangxi period, are there really people who have lived for so long in this world? Xiao Xian, remember in the future, if you also live for hundreds of years like Monk Tianya, don’t forget to come and sweep my grave," Zeng Xuerou half-joked.
"You must be groggy from not sleeping enough last night. Close your eyes and rest for a bit," Xiao Xian gave her a glance, meaning how she was starting to chatter nonsense like Yiyi, why curse herself out of the blue.
Xuerou smiled and closed her eyes, the sunlight outside the window was bright and splendid, it was the peak of summer after all.
The shock Monk Tianya brought to Xiao Xian was even greater. Did he really come from Cangqiong Palace? And as for the new functions of Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors, he would need to practice well this summer break.
With her eyes closed, Xuerou opened them again and turned her face over, "Xiao Xian, I just saw the car ahead."
"What?" Xiao Xian didn’t understand, how could she suddenly say such a thing while she was soundly asleep.
"I mean, just when I closed my eyes, I saw..." Xuerou and Xiao Xian looked at each other, then both cast their gazes out the window.
