"Well, since the boss isn't willing to help, that's all we can do for today. Welcome back, and we'll come again next time."
Boss: I'll just say @#￥%*&!
What do you mean I'm unwilling to help?
The proverb "a small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment" was perfectly exemplified by Jiang Xiao at this moment.
Also, shouldn't you be saying thank you for your patronage now? And that phrase should never come from your mouth as a customer!
Satisfied!
Satisfied, Jiang Xiao didn't ask for a plastic bag. Instead, he asked the cashier to get a sack from the warehouse. The two large sacks were stuffed full of things!
But then Jiang Xiao wouldn't be able to ride the bicycle.
Even now, she still finds it hard to believe that her adopted son is actually a rich man.
Wow, that's incredibly wealthy!
Rich, handsome, and a great fighter
The only downside is that he's a bit dim-witted. No, not dim-witted. On the contrary, he can be quite shrewd at times. He just has some minor mental flaws.
Fei Yu had reason to believe that Jiang Xiao already knew that the butcher who wanted to kill him was inextricably linked to her, his stepmother.
However, he chose to ignore it, perhaps he knew it in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Could it be.
Fei Yu thought of what Jiang Xiao always said. Could it be that he really lost his mother when he was young?
With that in mind, Fei Yu decided to stop targeting Jiang Xiao.
Well, it's definitely not because I'm not a match for them; it's purely because I wanted to be a good person this time.
"Jiang Xiao, what kind of hot pot base do you want to eat tonight?"
Jiang Xiao, who was walking ahead waving a small stick and sweeping through the cauliflower, paused, then turned around and said.
"I'd like a hot pot with two broths, I like spicy food, but I see on TV that the mothers all prefer milder flavors."
Fei Yu: He really is... I'm going to cry my eyes out.
"Jiang Xiao, can you tell me what you mean? I'm just your stepmother. Where is your biological mother now?"
Jiang Xiao turned around and continued slaughtering the cauliflower, saying nonchalantly.
“I don’t know. I’ve been growing up in a mental hospital since I can remember. The only people who were with me were the director and the uncles and aunts inside. He said I was abandoned at the entrance of their hospital, but I don’t know who abandoned me.”
Fei Yu:
I wonder who abandoned you?
Are you just fooling yourself?
I really deserve to die!
How could I possibly want to kill an orphan who has no parents?
He grew up in a mental hospital, no wonder, then his current behavior becomes reasonable.
Too pitiful
However, Jiang Xiao's tone remained relaxed, and there was no trace of resentment or blame in his voice.
"But it's alright, the people inside taught me a lot, they are like family to me. Oh right, now I can almost leave the military compound. I'll take Bai Yi and the others back to Qingshan later."

Fei Yu sensed that the atmosphere had changed again.
What can people in a mental hospital teach you?
I dare not think about it; it's terrifying to contemplate.
"Let's hurry up, the sky looks gloomy, it's probably going to rain soon."
"Okay, stepmother."
As for Dean Aoyama, who was outside the office, he looked very pleased.
"Okay, okay, I thought this kid had forgotten about us."
Dr. Su and Nurse Bai, who were standing nearby, covered their mouths and chuckled.
Ever since Jiang Xiao left, the old dean's "vitality" has plummeted.
After all, he was incredibly bored without anyone to "outwit" him.
"Oh right, that woman is coming back too. She's been a wild woman for so long, I wonder if she's gotten over the psychological trauma Jiang Xiao left her with. You guys prepare a clean house for her, no, prepare two, those two little monsters are coming too."
Jiang Xiao hadn't even returned yet when this news was revealed. The old dean seemed to have become twenty years younger and immediately began making arrangements.
As for Jiang Xiao's room...
There's no need to tidy up; the old headmaster moved in after he left.
"Hey, Dean, those two little devils..."
Su Ming was a little worried. Although those two were not as outrageous as Jiang Xiao, their level of abstraction was beginning to emerge.
If this child were to come to Qingshan and receive some "advanced training" from those uncles and aunties, they might actually surpass their teachers!
Chapter 297 Heavy Rain and Hot Pot
"Don't worry, Zheng Qian will be back soon. I reckon her hypnosis skills have improved several levels. With her there, plus me in charge, those two four- or five-year-old girls will be completely under our control. We can handle them with one hand!"
At this point, the old dean exuded an indescribable air of superiority.
After all, how could a man who could rise to the position of dean in Qingshan and go toe-to-toe with Jiang Xiao not have some tricks up his sleeve?!
"Uh, but will they let them go?"
Bai Jie was worried that the authorities wouldn't let Jiang Xiao go easily.
"Don't worry, why can't we put it here? Of course we can. Let me make a call and ask."
Before the dean could even make the call, the office landline rang.
Look at that string of encrypted numbers.
"Hello, Qingshan Mental Hospital, who are you looking for?"
"It's not anyone else, it's me! Old Li! You must have seen what Jiang Xiao said in the ghost story just now, right?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? You're not going to miss out, are you?"
The person opposite paused, seemingly surprised that the old dean would say such a thing.
"No, Dean, what I mean is, since Jiang Xiao will be coming to your place with his two little darlings sooner or later anyway, why don't you pick them up now? Uh, if that's not possible, I can personally deliver them to you!"
Former Dean:
What do you mean?
"What's wrong with your two little darlings? They're not causing a scene in your military compound, are they?"
"Oh no, no, no! Don't misunderstand, these two are very well-behaved, and so cute and pretty, how could they possibly cause trouble? What I meant was..."
'Snapped! '
The old dean hung up the phone.
The other person's tone is off; it's at least 13 out of 10.
Never mind, let's wait until Jiang Xiao comes out before making any decisions. In any case, the other party definitely won't be reluctant to release him.
It almost felt like they wanted the father and his two daughters to get lost.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao and Fei Yu finally returned to their little home before dark.
"Thank goodness, it feels like the rain is about to get heavier."
It started as a light drizzle, but within just a few minutes it became noticeably heavier, and the whistling wind suggested that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon.
"Hey, what's going on with you guys?"
Fei Mi was stunned to see Jiang Xiao return unharmed when she opened the door.
"Stop daydreaming! Come on, help me prepare the ingredients. We're having hot pot tonight!"
"eat hot pot!"
Zhenzhen and Ai'ai, who were playing cat's cradle on the sofa, suddenly jumped up.
"Is it Chinese New Year?!"
"Oh dear, it's not for the New Year, it was your brother Jiang Xiao who bought it. You two come and help us clean up, there's a lot to wash and chop today."
"Great!"
Upon hearing that they would be eating well, the two sisters stopped complaining about being tired or suffering.
"Jiang Xiao, you've had a long day, go and rest first. We'll call you when you're done."
Jiang Xiao didn't go to rest, but instead took a shower first.
