CHAPTER 766: CHAPTER 763

"Reincarnation," Wu Xing said.

"He must be a reincarnation of some powerful predecessor, awakening with innate wisdom from his past life; otherwise, it’s impossible for him to master such profound cultivation techniques."

As Wu Xing said this, Song Meixian was not surprised, since they had already speculated about this before; this time, it just confirmed it further.

"Do we know his specific identity, whether he’s Taoist or Buddhist?" Song Meixian continued.

"Judging by his methods before, he seems like a senior figure from the Taoist lineage, but the mental method he taught Xiao Nan, though exquisite, resembles some unconventional techniques. But that’s not surprising, given that in this End of Dharma era, where immortal gods remain hidden, massive amounts of information are lost, all our guesses are just blind speculation..."

The two got into the car, and as soon as they did, Wu Xing received a phone call.

After finishing the call, he gave Song Meixian a helpless look, clearly indicating that the call was from someone with immense power.

Song Meixian wasn’t surprised; after all, she returned openly and without hiding her whereabouts, naturally attracting the attention of some interested parties.

She thought for a moment, somewhat worried, "They won’t bother Mr. Shen, will they?"

Wu Xing fell silent at her words because he couldn’t be sure either. After a moment, he replied with a serious expression, "I’ll report it to the higher-ups..."

Inwardly, he couldn’t help but curse, hoping some people wouldn’t be foolish enough to cause trouble that made their work difficult.

Actually, he wasn’t too worried about that because those who became the top few were no fools; they were all sharp-minded. His concern was they might become arrogant, having been in high places for too long and disregarding others.

Shen Siyuan naturally didn’t know any of this. He had just seen off Tao Guangsha and his wife, leaving Dou Dou behind, of course.

Under the onslaught of Jiang Wenxin’s sweet talk, Dou Dou reconciled with Tang Tang.

As for Tao Guangsha and his wife’s visit, they didn’t even mention anything about Taozi’s parents visiting them.

Because Taozi’s parents didn’t know about Ruan Hongzhuang’s existence, but Tao Guangsha and his wife did.

Without knowing Shen Siyuan’s thoughts, they naturally didn’t dare say much.

And Ruan Hongzhuang finished work unusually early today, returning around one in the afternoon. Shen Siyuan had just finished lunch, while Tang Tang was lying on the living room floor, rubbing her belly; she was a bit too full.

Dou Dou surrounded her with toys.

"Why are you back so early today?" Shen Siyuan asked in surprise.

"I made an appointment with the jewelry company to look at some jewelry," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Jewelry?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, some New Year gifts, and also for our wedding," Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

"I see." Shen Siyuan didn’t quite understand at first.

But he quickly realized and was deeply shocked.

Around two in the afternoon, about a dozen women came, each carrying a briefcase, dressed in business attire, looking very neat and smart, all with tall figures and outstanding looks.

They opened the briefcases, all filled with gold and silver jewelry, jade and emeralds, all carefully selected and exquisitely crafted.

The lead woman, in a half-kneeling and squatting position, held a catalogue, flipping it for Ruan Hongzhuang to see.

As long as Ruan Hongzhuang’s gaze lingered on a piece of jewelry, another staff member beside her would immediately have it brought over. The whole process appeared extremely practiced.

Is this how wealthy people do it? Shen Siyuan was greatly amazed.

Tang Tang and Dou Dou were also crouching beside to watch, particularly Tang Tang, who was mesmerized by the jewelry, her big eyes sparkling and drool dampening her bib.

But with so many unfamiliar people around, she didn’t dash forward but obediently sat beside Dou Dou watching.

Dou Dou glanced at Ruan Hongzhuang, then at the service staff.

Then she said to Tang Tang, "When I grow up, I want to be a princess like Sister Ruan and have lots of maids."

Tang Tang couldn’t hear what she was saying, her eyes were fixed on a jade ring in a salesperson’s hand.

The verdant jade, the size of a pigeon egg, was exceptionally beautiful.

It seemed like she wanted it.

Thus, the ring fell from the salesperson’s hand and rolled right in front of Tang Tang, the little one beside unceremoniously snatched it up.

The saleswoman turned pale instantly; jade is precious, and if it broke, her salary wouldn’t cover the cost.

She immediately crouched down, trying to get Tang Tang to return the ring to her.

But Tang Tang just hid her hand behind her back; what’s in your hand is yours, what’s on the ground is mine.

"Ha~"

She gave the salesperson a silly smile.

"Little girl, can you give the ring back to big sister?" The saleswoman forced a smile despite her pale face, nearly in tears.

Tang Tang indicated she didn’t understand and couldn’t hear.

"She won’t give it back to you, she’s very stingy," Dou Dou took the opportunity to badmouth Tang Tang.

This commotion naturally caught the attention of Ruan Hongzhuang and Shen Siyuan.

Ruan Hongzhuang gave Shen Siyuan a glance, then asked the sales manager beside her, "What item is it?"

The sales manager understood and quickly flipped through the catalogue in her hand.

"It’s item number E-2713, the facet is sized..."

Ruan Hongzhuang waved her hand, interrupting, "I’ll take it."

"Oh... alright."

A nearby salesperson quickly noted it down.

Ruan Hongzhuang addressed Tang Tang, who was hiding her hands behind her back with a silly smile, "Alright, no need to hide, I’ve already bought it for you."

The saleswoman, who was nearly in tears trying to communicate with Tang Tang, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Do we need to check for any damage?"

The sales manager squatting beside Ruan Hongzhuang only then snapped back to attention and quickly made the suggestion.

Compared to completing a sale, they were more concerned with their own reputation; selling damaged jewelry would greatly affect the company’s reputation.

Ruan Hongzhuang waved her hand, "No worries, as long as the child is happy."

Dou Dou, hearing there was such a good deal, immediately pointed to herself, eagerly saying, "What about me, what about me..."

What little girl doesn’t like glittering jewels, especially when they’re girls?

"You can pick one too," this time Shen Siyuan spoke.

Dou Dou immediately leaped up upon hearing this, rushing to the jewelry cases for a closer look. Tang Tang also quickly got up to follow, making the saleswomen tense with fear that they might touch and break the jewels.

Shen Siyuan turned his gaze back to Ruan Hongzhuang, saying, "Let her parents compensate."

Ruan Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at him, "We can’t favor one over the other; I’ll count it as a gift for her."

In total, Ruan Hongzhuang chose over a dozen pieces of jewelry, not including the two pieces Dou Dou and Tang Tang picked.

Shen Siyuan was enlightened, realizing that this is how truly wealthy people spend money.

Dou Dou picked a ruby necklace. Whether it’s beautiful or not is one thing, but mostly because it’s big.

As for Tang Tang’s jade ring, it was so large it couldn’t even fit on her finger.

So she had to keep holding her hand up, raising her short, thick finger.

She walked with it raised, drank water with it raised, ate dinner with it raised, and even slept with her finger raised...
