Chapter 233 She's Just a Child
"If you keep talking, I think you deserve to die!"
Looking at the cold light in the beauty's eyes, Mao Ying subconsciously closed his mouth.
Although this woman looked gentle and harmless, the murderous aura in her was even stronger than that of the three men beside her. Just by looking at her, Mao Ying had the illusion that he was being stared at by the King of Hell.
Just as Mao Ying was sighing inwardly, a figure appeared in front of him and pulled him back a few steps.
Mao Ying was stunned for a moment when he saw the person in front of him, but soon, he was covered up by the charming smile again, "Oh, father, I am a little confused by this. Are you trying to protect me, the rebellious son you always call me?"
Perhaps it was the impact of the series of events today, Mao Jian was so angry that he was numb and ignored Mao Ying's remarks.
"Mrs. Fan, my son is still young, I hope you won't bother with him."
Although Mao Jian said this, what he actually thought in his heart was: If this rebellious son was not his only son, he would have killed him long ago. For the continuation of the Mao family bloodline, he just had to endure it.
"Young?" Hearing this, Jiang Si raised her eyes and looked at the tall and strong man in pink who was protected by Mao Jian behind him. "Well, I'm just a child too. How can I argue with him?"
Jiang Si's words stunned the Mao family father and son, as if they had expected Jiang Si to say this.
"Pfft~"
A sneer suddenly broke the dull atmosphere. Everyone turned to look at Fan Tong, only to see that the thin lips on his handsome face were harder to suppress than AK at this moment.
"Pfft~"
Fan Tong was still trying hard to hold back his laughter when another laugh came from behind Jiang Si.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it. Compared to Fan Tong, Ming Jinghuan's smile was not concealed at all.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ming Jinghuan and Fan Tong coughed in tacit understanding.
Then he spoke in tacit agreement: "Yes, she is just a child!"
Hearing what they said, Jiang Si couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't expect that both of them knew about the joke and cooperated with her unexpectedly. In her previous life, she always acted alone, and it seemed not bad to have someone to help her out.
Hearing Jiang Si's laughter, Fan Tong and Ming Jinghuan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
It is a great blessing in life to have friends accompany you in a different world. There will always be someone in this world who understands your weirdness and will accompany you in your craziness.
Hearing the hearty laughter of the three people, the rest of the people in the hall stared in confusion.
After a long while, they stopped smiling.
Jiang Si then raised her eyes to look at Mao Jian, "I think Master Mao already knows why we are here. I just want to ask, where is my money?"
Hearing this, Mao Jian came back to his senses. His calculating eyes turned and he said, "Madam Fan, my daughter has been missing for a long time. You are here with the IOU she owes. I believe you must have some news about her. Could you please tell me? As a father, I will be very grateful."
Jiang Si did not respond to him immediately. She just propped her head up and looked at him, tapping the table lightly with her fingers.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Mao Jian's heart started beating fast for no reason and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this age, he was at least a well-known figure in the martial arts world. Mao Jian himself had never expected that he would be stared at by such a young woman and break into cold sweats.
"Heh~" Just when the atmosphere was particularly quiet, a sneer suddenly came from behind Mao Jian.
Everyone raised their eyes to look at him. Mao Ying still had that uninhibited smile on his face. Just when he was about to speak, a deep and magnetic voice sounded and interrupted him.
"We don't have that much time to play with you."
Fan Tong put away the military dagger, picked up the IOU next to Jiang Si, held it in his hand and showed it to the Mao father and son.
Seeing the familiar handwriting on the IOU, Mao Jian's face suddenly turned ugly, especially when he saw the big words "170,000 taels of gold", the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.
"Oh, this sister of mine whom I've never met is quite capable. One of her IOUs is worth more than all the IOUs I've had in my first half of my life combined!"
Mao Ying's extremely sarcastic voice sounded, and he stabbed Mao Jian hard in the heart again.
"How much does this kid want to wear mourning? From the time he showed up until now, I don't know how many times he has stabbed his father, and every stab was right in the heart." Ming Jinghuan raised a playful smile and muttered softly as he stood behind Jiang Si.
Hearing his words, Jiang Si and the others nodded without comment.
"One stick of incense should be enough for you to collect the balance you owe."
Fan Tong glanced at the two of them coldly, his voice without any question, a tone of naked command.
Fan Tong threatened coldly, but he was actually a little anxious in his heart: this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to tire his wife out.
Hearing Fan Tong's words, Ming Jinghuan also released his intimidating power.
Although he was unlucky to be born into such an old man, fortunately he had superb martial arts skills.
Noticing the change in the aura of Fan Tong and Ming Jinghuan, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.
Mao Jian knew that he had hit a wall, but he still said, "Please give me a few more days. We are a small family and we really can't come up with so much money at once."
"You are..." Jiang Si slowly stood up from her seat, raised her eyes slightly and looked at Mao Jian, her eyes instantly became cold, "You want to default on your debt?"
"No one in this world has ever dared to default on my money."
Jiang Si's brief but intimidating words stirred up huge waves in everyone's hearts.
Even Fan Tong and the others were stunned for a moment, but they soon understood that, considering how much she loves money, if anyone dared to owe Jiang Si money, even one cent, she would probably be torn into pieces!
Hearing this, Mao Jian sighed secretly. Seeing Jiang Si's attitude, the Mao family would suffer a heavy loss today!
Seventeen thousand taels of gold, that was his half life savings, and he had no choice but to give it away like this. If it were someone else, he might have given it a try, but he really couldn't afford to offend these two people.
"Please wait for a moment. I will go and collect the gold and silver."
After Mao Jian clasped his fists and bowed, he left with the old butler. At this critical moment of life and death, how could he care about Mao Ying, his rebellious son?
Looking at Mao Jian's receding back, the smile on Mao Ying's face faded, and his expression was one of unabashed gloating.
Seeing the smile on Mao Jian's face, everyone was stunned for a moment.
In the end, it was Mao Ying who broke the silence.
"Why are you guys staring at me like this? Are you attracted to me?"
Looking at Mao Ying's playful look, Fan Tong couldn't help but speak!
"What's the problem between you and your father?"
When Mao Ying heard Fan Tong's words, there was a moment of panic on his face, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?"
As he spoke, Mao Ying flicked his sleeves and returned to his seat.
At the moment when he rolled up his sleeves, Jiang Si smelled a very familiar scent from him and her eyes widened suddenly.
