Chapter 112: Is it really good to show off in front of the vein master?
Facing Xiang Liang’s reprimand, Xiang Feifei lowered her head in defiant silence, while Wang Zijia found himself at a loss for words, eventually choosing not to speak at all.
"I had been wondering why your grandfather, furious as he was, didn’t set things straight with the clan and instead let you mess around with loans. It seems you’re dead set on this. Now, your great uncle has decided to grant you three thousand. Make sure you use it wisely!"
As he scolded, Xiang Liang once again glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Wang Zijia.
With that, he jumped onto his Paper Kite and left. Unlike before, when he used to greet Wang Zijia warmly and impart cultivation knowledge, this time he left without a word, seemingly bearing some resentment. He had clearly guessed where the resources would end up.
Presumably, he thought that Wang Zijia was disregarding Xiang Feifei’s future for his own sake.
After Xiang Liang left, Wang Zijia and Xiang Feifei exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, Wang Zijia finally spoke: "Why go to all this trouble? If I really need something, I will ask you myself."
"It’s not a big deal, just a scolding after all. Besides, I only recently persuaded my grandfather to use our family savings to purchase some Dao Kung just the other day. Anticipating the mess today, I knew that my grandfather, not being a fool, certainly wouldn’t come to find me. So I only have to endure some scolding from my great uncles." Xiang Feifei stick her tongue out as she spoke.
"Alright, next time you plan to do something, at least let me know." Wang Zijia paused momentarily before choosing his words carefully. "It’s not that I’m blaming you. It’s just that I might not necessarily need certain things, and you could end up wasting your effort."
"Alright, I’ll remember!" Xiang Feifei nodded and suggested, "Let’s eat!"
The two no longer spoke and turned to enter the house for a meal. Afterward, they both left for work.
Wang Zijia merely took a stroll around the Fu Tower, reviewed the ledgers, and not long before noon was planning to skip work once again.
