Chapter 149 – Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone (2)
âHo ho hoâŚâ chuckled Cheng Xiao Xiao. âWhat a wonderful suggestion, Innkeeper Zhu. I guess I will have to trouble you to find me all colors of lotuses then. We will certainly invite you over to appreciate the lotuses come summer time!â
âThatâs no problem at all, Miss Cheng. Anything that I can do to help. When the pond is ready for fish, I will send over the necessarily items!â
âWell, then, I thank you in advance, Innkeeper Zhu!â
âYou are very welcome, Miss Cheng!â
Just when the two were happily jabbering on, a silhouette appeared from the Chengâs courtyard from the other side. When she caught sight of Cheng Xiao Xiao, she came over immediately.
âXiao Xiao!â
Sensing the urgency in the voice, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned around. She saw her mother approaching her and couldnât help but to ask, âMom, whatâs the matter? What happened?â
âWhatâs the matter? Child you have to askâŚ.?â
Mrs. Cheng was just about to say something before when she caught sight of Innkeeper Zhu so she swallowed her remaining words.
Seeing her reaction, Innkeeper Zhu had an idea of what she wanted to discuss. He greeted her and walked away.
Cheng Xiao Xiao saw that her mother seemed to be displeased. Baffled, she asked, âMom, what happened?â
âOh, child, how could you?â complained Mrs. Cheng.â
âWhat did I do?â
Cheng Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded. She had no idea how she had displeased her mother.
âOh, child, what was going on? How⌠how could youâŚ.âMrs. Cheng was so angry that she started to stutter. Finally she forced out a deep breath and said, âXiao Xiao, how could you sell meals to Associate Dean and his fellows?â
âMom, why not?â It had finally dawned on Cheng Xiao Xiao that this was the reason her mother was angry at her, âMom, they came to apologize to us. We didnât invite them over. Itâs only fair to charge them!â
âWhat do you mean itâs fair? Nobody ask their guests to pay for their meals! This is bad form!â
Mrs. Cheng was anxious and helpless, she continued, âNo, when we provide the next meal, you canât ask them for more items. Itâd sound so bad when words got out. Itâs not like we canât afford to provide them meals, thereâs no reason to get a bad reputation from that!â
âMom, this is my decision. I donât care what others will say about us. Itâs not like we can hear them anyway. As long as they want to eat, they must trade for them. I will not provide them meals for free!â
Cheng Xiao Xiao was adamant about that. No matter what, she could not pass on the opportunities for more mystical stones.
âXiao XiaoâŚ.â
âMom, stop worrying, okay?â Seeing that her mother still has a worried look, she felt a bit helpless, âMom, you donât need to be nice to everyone. Some people are just not worth it. As such, why be nice to them? Not to mention that we are not on good terms with the School of Divine Condor one way or another. Do you think they will be appreciative of us if we provide them meals? I donât think so!
âOn top of that, canât you not tell the nature of these people? Why do you think they are willingly staying at our place? Can you not guess? None of them are nice people!â
âWellâŚ.â
Mrs. Cheng knew that she was never able to change Cheng Xiao Xiaoâs mind1, especially on her own decisions, she was never one to change her mind. She knew she wouldnât be able to change her mind this time either, so she couldnât help but to sigh, âXiao Xiao, I just meant that itâs not like we canât afford the meals. When these words got out, they will affect you negatively. You are a girl and you will get married some day. Scandals about you will make your days difficult at your husbandâs house. Donât you understand?â2
