Capítulo 1565: Chapter 1566: Uncle Zhong’s Warning

Geng Jingqiu watched the departing backs of Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, her face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Others on the roadside also looked on enviously as all forty or so plush dolls were taken away by Qiu Ruoxi.

These kinds of dolls seem to have an inexplicable allure for women.

The next moment, Geng Jingqiu turned her gaze directly to Ji Ziyan, saying harshly, “You’re really useless, hitting only once out of five tries. Look at others…”

Back in school, Qiu Ruoxi was like the darling of heaven, a top student in the teachers’ eyes, and the object of boys’ admiration, truly in the limelight.

I thought after not seeing her for years, I could outshine her, but who would’ve thought, Qiu Ruoxi still stole the show.

After being admonished by Geng Jingqiu, a flash of anger appeared in Ji Ziyan’s eyes, but he didn’t dare get angry. Instead, he put on a flattering smile and said, “Jingqiu, you know I haven’t practiced. Hitting one out of five is already not bad…”

Before Ji Ziyan could finish, Geng Jingqiu gave him a fierce glare.

Seeing Geng Jingqiu’s furious glare, Ji Ziyan quickly said, “Don’t worry, next time I’ll definitely help you regain face!”

Geng Jingqiu snorted coldly, “Who knows when the next time will be!”

“Don’t you have Ye Xunhuan’s phone number? You can contact them when the time comes.” Ji Ziyan whispered.

Geng Jingqiu immediately showed a contemplative expression.

Seeing Geng Jingqiu deep in thought, Ji Ziyan spoke again, “Just not sure if they’ll leave the southeast!”

“They probably won’t. Qiu Ruoxi’s maternal grandfather’s family is here, and she hasn’t been heard of returning for a long time. She’ll probably stay a few days this time!”

“Wait, I’ll call Qiang Wei and find out!”

Qu Qiangwei used to have a good relationship with Qiu Ruoxi, and it’s said that the Qu family and the Xiahou family are old family friends, with an extraordinary relationship, so Qu Qiangwei must know something.

…

After Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi returned to the Xiahou family, the plush dolls that Ye Xunhuan won had already been sent back first.

When Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi returned, Mu Shuyi immediately asked, “Ruoxi, you went out with Xunhuan, why did you buy so many plush dolls back…”

Qiu Ruoxi, full of pride, looked at Mu Shuyi and said, “I ran into someone with a stall at Qingbi Mountain and got them with rings there!”

Mu Shuyi had long known about this ring-tossing hobby of her granddaughter. Upon hearing this, she immediately laughed and said, “I never thought my Ruoxi would be so good at this now…”

Praised by Mu Shuyi, Qiu Ruoxi felt a bit embarrassed, after all, it was all Ye Xunhuan’s achievement and had little to do with her.

“Grandma, Xunhuan won these!”

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Mu Shuyi was taken aback, then looked at Ye Xunhuan, “You naughty child, why accompany Ruoxi in her mischief? It’s not easy for someone running a stall. You won a few and didn’t stop; instead, you brought back so many…”

Mu Shuyi knew what kind of person Ye Xunhuan was; this little trick might be challenging for Qiu Ruoxi, but for Ye Xunhuan, it was just a piece of cake!

“Grandma, Ruoxi likes it, I had no choice. You don’t know, the stall owner almost cried, begging Ruoxi to leave, but she wouldn’t!” Ye Xunhuan said helplessly.

Although Ye Xunhuan won a lot of plush dolls, he didn’t have any sense of accomplishment. In his view, playing such a game was just bullying the stall owner.

Mu Shuyi helplessly poked Qiu Ruoxi lightly on the forehead, “You, how could you do that? It’s not easy for them…”

Mu Shuyi’s words seemed to scold Qiu Ruoxi but were filled with affection.

“Grandma, I have a use for them, okay…”

“What use could you have for them?”

“You don’t know, there’s a welfare home in Jiangzhong City. The kids there used to live in hardship, surviving on collecting scraps every day…”

“And the Red Cross? They don’t care?” Mu Shuyi immediately said indignantly.

It was clear that Mu Shuyi was also very sympathetic to these children.

As she spoke, Mu Shuyi seemed to think of something, and her tone shifted, “So how are those kids doing now?”

“Much better now. I once gave them a charity donation, and personally contributed some money to build new buildings and hire teachers for them!” Qiu Ruoxi said calmly, “But they don’t have many toys. I can send these plush dolls to them, I’m sure the kids will be happy!”

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s explanation, Ye Xunhuan finally understood why Qiu Ruoxi insisted on getting these seemingly useless plush dolls; they were for the kids at the welfare home.

“But these aren’t enough…”

“My company has some too, I can take some out as gifts for them. That would be nice, plus I could save some money too…”

Although Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t short on money, her money didn’t grow on trees, so saving where she could was a good idea.

After all, running a household is like picking up grains of soil with a needle, losing one is like pushing sand with water!

“You little profiteer…”

“I’m not a profiteer, I’m just thinking like a normal person…” Qiu Ruoxi said, a bit displeased.

Time flies during joyful moments, and without realizing it, the sky was beginning to darken.

Mu Shuyi had prepared dinner, and the family sat around the table, chatting and laughing as they ate, the atmosphere very harmonious!

While Ye Xunhuan and the others were having dinner, Chou Zheng was already leading Guangling Zi and others toward the Xiahou home at the foot of Qingbi Mountain.

They originally planned to come in the day, but considering that this is Qingbi Mountain, where there are many tourists every day, any conflict might cause a big scene. After thinking it over, they decided it was more appropriate to come after dark.

Now that night had finally fallen, they didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the Xiahou home.

Chou Zheng’s movement prompted the people of the Dongfang Family, Qi Family, and Shu Mountain to follow suit.

Besides the group led by Chou Zheng, the other four factions came with an aggressive demeanor.

Arriving outside the Xiahou home, Chou Zheng didn’t dare to force his way in. He politely walked up to the door and knocked a few times on the door knocker.

Soon enough, Uncle Zhong opened the door from the inside.

Upon seeing Chou Zheng, Uncle Zhong’s expression turned slightly stern!

“Living King of Hell, long time no see!” Chou Zheng said cheerfully, “Could you please inform Brother Xiahou that Chou Zheng is here to visit!”

“Chou Zheng, don’t cause trouble, or Qingbi Mountain will be your burial ground!” Uncle Zhong warned Chou Zheng with a chilling scowl!
