MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 17

A few days after moving, Xie Rong came back from a business trip abroad. When he arrived at the airport in the afternoon, he asked the driver to take him directly to Pearl Garden.

Forty-two-year-old Xie Rong has a slender figure and a gentle and refined temperament. He looks more like a university professor than a big boss of a listed company.

He had the key to the house here, but Xie Rong still rang the doorbell when he got to the door.

Su Miaomiao was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Grandma Tao. When the doorbell rang, Grandma Tao said, "It must be you thanking Uncle."

Su Miaomiao ran to open the door.

She is the daughter of Su Ming'an and Tang Shiwei, but in the past ten years, the elder who has taken care of her the longest is actually Grandma Tao.

Su Miaomiao is a lazy cat most of the time, but she knows how to be filial to the elderly. Grandma Tao is sixty-five years old, so there is no reason for her to continue to lie on the sofa and let Grandma Tao run errands.

"uncle!"

"Miaomiao, how is the new community, do you like it?"

Su Miaomiao nodded, and when Xie Rong came in with the suitcase, she closed the door again.

"Mom." Xie Rong looked around and said to his own mother who was still sitting on the sofa.

Grandma Tao: "Are you tired? If you are tired, go back to your room and sleep for a while, to beat the jet lag."

Xie Rong: "It's okay, I slept on the plane, I'll go change first."

Grandma Tao just stood up, took her son to the smallest bedroom in the house, opened the door and said, "You don't live here often, so you can sleep here."

Xie Rong smiled helplessly.

Since his second marriage, his status in the heart of his mother has become lower and lower, far inferior to that of his eldest son.

"Where's Jing Yuan?"

"Going to buy ice cream."

Today's TV drama is a modern movie, in which children eat ice cream, Su Miaomiao wants to eat it too, so Grandma Tao asks her grandson to go to the supermarket outside the community to buy it.

Xie Rong looked towards the living room, because Su Miaomiao sat back on the sofa and was out of his sight.

But Xie Rong could guess that his son's ice cream must be bought for Su Miaomiao.

After Grandma Tao introduced the room, she also went to watch TV.

Xie Rong closed the door, opened the suitcase, took out the gifts he had prepared, then took out a change of clothes, and went to his son's room in the master bedroom to take a shower.

After washing and getting dressed, Xie Rong walked around his son's bedroom slowly while wiping his head with a towel.

The master bedroom is very spacious, has a separate cloakroom, and a row of bookcases with densely packed books.

The desk and desktop are clean and tidy, and an old laptop is closed.

Xie Rong didn't touch the notebook, nor rummaged through his son's drawer, he turned and walked back, at this moment, Xie Jingyuan pushed the door open from the outside.

Father and son face each other.

Xie Rong showed a fatherly smile.

Xie Jingyuan still had that indifferent face, glanced at the open door of the bathroom, and asked him, "Did you finish washing?"

Xie Rong: "Hurry up, I still have to blow my hair, you go to my room, there is a gift for Miaomiao on the table, you take it to her first."

With that said, he went into the bathroom again and closed the door.

Xie Jingyuan went to the second bedroom and saw three gifts on Xie Rong's desk, a luxury brand jewelry gift box, a latest notebook, and a perfume gift box.

The notebook must be for him, the perfume is what Grandma Tao loves, the jewelry...

Xie Jingyuan picked up the jewelry gift box and went to the living room.

Su Miaomiao was eating strawberry ice cream, staring at the TV screen.

"Your gift." Xie Jingyuan directly put the gift box on the empty sofa next to her.

Su Miaomiao looked down, her eyes lit up.

Since Uncle Xie became richer, the gift he gave her every year has become this kind of shiny jewelry.

Su Miaomiao doesn't really care about the brand or not, she just likes shiny things.

Asking Grandma Tao to help hold the ice cream, Su Miaomiao opened the gift box in twos and twos, and inside was a pair of hairpins with simple shapes but studded with diamonds.

Diamonds are brighter than gold!

Su Miaomiao immediately ran to the mirror on the other side of the entrance cabinet, and happily put the hairpin on her head.

Xie Jingyuan sat on the single sofa, looking at her expressionlessly.

She was still a student, and her hobbies were already so extravagant. When she went to university and saw the colorful world outside, she still didn't know what expensive things she would ask him for.

Xie Jingyuan didn't have to satisfy her, because he was afraid that she would have evil thoughts because of greed.

Instead of letting her escape to other places to do evil, Xie Jingyuan would rather be with her, saving time and worry.

Xie Rong dried his hair and came out.

Su Miaomiao smiled brightly: "Thank you uncle."

A fifteen-year-old girl, fresh and bright, full of vigor, like a flower that can move, is pleasing to the eye.

Xie Rong smiled and said, "It's good if you like it. Uncle saw this couple issuing cards in the cupboard outside, and he immediately thought of you and Lanlan."

Lan Lan is Xie Wenlan, the younger sister in the twins. She is thirteen years old this year, and she is already at the age where she knows how to dress herself up.

Of course, the hairpins that Xie Rong gave to the two girls only look similar, and there are still differences in design.

"Come and eat ice cream, it's time to melt." Grandma Tao shouted holding up the ice cream.

Su Miaomiao hurried back to eat.

Xie Rong sat on the other side of Grandma Tao, chatting with Xie Jingyuan without saying a word, asking what his son did this summer vacation.

Xie Jingyuan used this summer vacation time to write the second part of the "Towning Monsters" series.

The Taoist priests he portrayed in the book are all fake, but the story of catching monsters in it is something that his ancestors, masters, uncles, and even himself have personally experienced.

Xie Jingyuan has no intention of being a real writer, and he doesn't want writing novels to take up too much of his time. He writes a book during the summer vacation every year, and the manuscript fee should be enough. At present, Su Miaomiao's desire for material things is not that strong.

But Xie Jingyuan didn't intend to tell Xie Rong.

He said lightly, "Read a book."

Xie Rong thought for a while, then nodded: "If you want to go to high school, you should study more."

When his son graduates from high school, he will arrange for his son to go to the group to familiarize himself with the business during the winter and summer vacations of the university.

Thinking of the group, Xie Rong is very proud.

He is an excellent father who built a listed group with his own hands. Fortunately, this group will have a better successor than him.

Tang Shiwei came home from get off work, and soon found that her daughter had a pair of diamond hairpins on her head.

She looked at her husband in surprise.

Su Mingan smiled: "Xie Rong is back."

Tang Shiwei was no longer surprised, Xie Rong treated Miaomiao as another daughter, and had given them gold, silver and jade, and the couple could not be more polite. Fortunately, Xie Rong did not send gifts that were too exaggerated.

Su Ming'an: "Xie Rong also said that we will have a barbecue at his villa on weekends, so let's take Miaomiao there to celebrate that the two children are about to start school."

Tang Shiwei: "Hey, I happen to have a rest on weekends."

Su Ming'an: "People asked me which day would be convenient for me first, so of course I'll pick your day off."

Tang Shiwei looked at her daughter and reminded: "Miaomiao, let's go to Uncle Xie's house for barbecue, don't quarrel with Lanlan."

Su Miaomiao snorted: "Don't bother me with her, I will ignore her."

Tang Shiwei sighed: "You always have to learn to give way to others, especially when you are a guest at someone's home."

My daughter is a top student, but in terms of human relationships, her daughter is always the same as in kindergarten. She never takes the initiative to share any delicious and fun things. Tang Shiwei is often worried that her daughter will not be able to make other new friends. As for Xie Jingyuan, Zhou Yao, Cheng Yue, Feng Xiaoyu, and Lin Xi, they have accepted their daughter's temper since kindergarten, but the older the child is, the more sensible he should be. In high school and university, if the daughter continues to be alone, how can other students bear it? Woolen cloth?

Su Miaomiao didn't quite understand what her mother meant, and she didn't want to.

She doesn't bully anyone, and others shouldn't even try to bully her.

Unless she can't beat the opponent, she will never let herself be angry.

"Okay, let's eat first." Su Mingan quickly eased the atmosphere.

Although Tang Shiwei thought so, she couldn't bear to force her daughter to change.

She still remembered that when her daughter was in the first grade, in order to protect Lin Xi, she fought with a boy in the class, pushing and shoving, the boy hit his head on the desk and bled.

The head teacher called the parents of both parties to the classroom, hoping to reconcile.

The other parent asked her to bear the medical expenses and asked her daughter to apologize.

Tang Shiwei was willing to pay, but her daughter refused to apologize. Tang Shiwei tried to order her daughter as a mother, but the daughter just raised her head and looked at her quietly, with tears floating in her big eyes little by little. How wronged.

Tang Shiwei will never forget her daughter's appearance at that time.

After falling asleep, Tang Shiwei confides her troubles to her husband: "Miaomiao has such a temper, what can I do in the future?"

Su Ming'an: "What are you worried about, Miaomiao is able to distinguish right from wrong, and she refuses to wrong herself, which is very good."

Tang Shiwei: "No matter how good friends are, they will quarrel. Learn to accommodate each other and tolerate some small shortcomings in conflicts. Do you see Miao Miaoxing? She will not take the initiative to talk to other students, it is Cheng Yue and the others who take the initiative to talk to her. If one day others don't want to pay anymore, Miaomiao can only play alone."

Su Mingan: "...and Jing Yuan."

Tang Shiwei pushed him: "Jing Yuan is a boy, how can he still be with her all the time? I'm afraid Miaomiao doesn't even have a female classmate to go to the bathroom with."

Su Mingan was speechless, after a while, his eyes were red.

Will his silly daughter really become a poor little isolated one?

When having breakfast the next day, Su Miaomiao felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of her parents.

Tang Shiwei: "Miao Miao, you have been playing outside this summer vacation, do you want to go find Cheng Yue and the others before school starts?"

Su Miaomiao doesn't want to go out, she prefers to watch TV with Grandma Tao.

Tang Shiwei continued to work hard: "Shouldn't it be time to buy new stationery? Mom will give you money, so ask Xiao Yu and the others to go together?"

Su Miaomiao: "I went to the supermarket with my grandma before, and I already bought everything."

Su Mingan: "I heard that there is a new grilled fish restaurant in the skyline building. It's very delicious. Would you like to invite your classmates to eat at noon?"

Su Miaomiao finally became interested.

Su Mingan immediately counted out 1,000 yuan and stuffed it into her daughter's favorite small satchel with strings of pearls.

In order to ensure that their daughter would not forget, the couple asked their daughter to call a few good friends in front of them.

Su Miaomiao had no choice but to take out her mobile phone, open the address book, and dial a number.

After two beeps, Xie Jingyuan's cold voice came from the phone: "What's the matter?"

Su Miaomiao: "Dad said there is a grilled fish restaurant in the skyline building that is delicious. I'll go there at noon."

Xie Jingyuan: "Understood."

Su Miaomiao: "Call Feng Xiaoyu and the others to go together."

Xie Jingyuan: "Yes."

That's enough, Su Miaomiao hung up the phone.

Su Mingan, Tang Shiwei: …

Why is it so reasonable for my daughter to order Xie Jingyuan?

Why did Xie Jingyuan agree to his daughter so happily that he didn't even know how to resist?

Could it be that this is the way of puppy love for children in the new era?
