The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 118 - : A Fish Is Just a Fish, Dumbheaded

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: A Fish Is Just a Fish, Dumbheaded

Miss Ade understood his meaning and quickly nodded in agreement, “I won’t recklessly use my Spiritual Power from now on.”

“As long as you’re aware, that’s good. Don’t be like that broken Bronze Sword, not heeding any advice and frequently causing trouble.”

Miss Ade frowned, unable to help defending her good friend, “Although I don’t know what the Bronze Sword did, it must have had a reason, and it was a reason born out of necessity. Master, could you be misunderstanding her?”

“Misunderstanding? You sure are good at speaking up for her.” Master Ting Chan withdrew his hand, speaking lightly with such a remark, casting a meaningful gaze at Yao Qingzhi as he stood up.

“It’s getting late, we should also be on our way.”

After Master Ting Chan finished speaking, without tending to the others, he turned and walked straight out of the storage room. Yao Qingzhi nodded to Qin Yu and Miss Ade before following him out.

Miss Ade hurriedly followed, inviting them to stay for dinner, but they declined, saying there were matters to attend to on Lingcheng Mountain.

Master Ting Chan had previously mentioned staying for a meal and drinks, clearly just joking around.

Before the car set in motion, Master Ting Chan stuck his head out of the car window and called out to Qin Yu, “Qin Family lad, weigh carefully between short-term and long-term cooperation.”

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, not responding, which made Master Ting Chan anxious.

“Don’t pretend you don’t understand. Although I was forced to offer my services by you this time, I still need to be paid for my labor. Don’t think you can get me to work for free. There’s no such thing in this world.”

The old man was just shy of writing “Pay up” across his face.

Miss Ade couldn’t help saying, “Master, how much do you charge? I can pay for it.”

“You?” Master Ting Chan looked doubtfully at the delicate girl standing beside Qin Yu, “You have money?”

The girl was kept by Qin Yu like a pet, where would she get money from? A fish is just a fish, simple-minded.

Miss Ade’s eyes were big and round, her voice soft, “Once I sell those antiques we just saw, I’ll have money.”

Master Ting Chan choked, thinking of the room full of antiques, no, not antiques, they were all money, a room full of money.

The girl really did have wealth, with a strong foundation.

“Cough cough… Actually, it’s fine if you pay.” Master Ting Chan’s eyes glittered, his mouth sticky and unhurried, “But let’s not bother with money, it’s too hurtful. Just give me one or two items, yes, from the ones in the room just now, I’m not picky.”

Yao Qingzhi held his forehead, unable to watch his own master anymore. Each item in the house was worth millions, and here he was saying he wasn’t picky—his shamelessness had truly reached new heights.

“That’s fine by me,” Miss Ade happily agreed.

In the end, Song Ma brought down a Jade and a bronze incense burner. Master Ting Chan directly hugged them to his chest, his mouth almost splitting to his ears in joy, urging Yao Qingzhi to drive quickly.

Afraid that Miss Ade, the foolish girl, would change her mind.

Miss Ade wouldn’t go back on her word, on the contrary, she was very happy.

Qin Yu didn’t stop her. In his eyes, it was her property, and she was free to do with it as she pleased.

Originally, there was no need to pay Master Ting Chan. The millions Qin Yu had previously invested in the restoration of Lingcheng Mountain, combined with the daily income from the Lingcheng Mountain scenic spot, meant Master Ting Chan wasn’t short of money.

Greed was just the old man’s true color.

But what he said made sense, due to Miss Ade, long-term cooperation was needed, so letting him earn a bit was harmlessly done.

Knowing that the incense burner came from Xiling, Qin Yu set a clear target and began searching worldwide for items from the Xiling underground palace.

The scope was too broad, and for the moment there was no progress.

During this time, Wei Lan visited once, and upon seeing the contents of the storage room, he was utterly baffled.

After coming to his senses, he snapped away with his phone, taking numerous photos. Before leaving, he grasped Miss Ade’s hand with utmost seriousness, saying to her:

“Promise me, don’t sell a single item. Wait for my return, I will give you a satisfactory price.”

All that meant was he wanted everything. What generous spending, Ah Da was naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed to keep everything for him, reassuring him not to worry.

Wei Lan was so excited he nearly jumped up, his wits scattered as his forehead bumped the car roof getting into the car.

He didn’t mind, holding his head he cheerfully drove off.

After that, Ah Da had some free time, as Su Qingtong had received a new role. The production team was heading to the mountains to film, and she would be away for about a month. With poor signal in the mountains, they wouldn’t be able to chat often.

Qin Yu went to work as usual, and Ah Da stayed at Wuqiong Water Pavilion, fishing, gardening, and attending her lessons. After a few interactions, her relationship with Teacher Fang Yuan had gotten much better.

Fang Yuan was young, and since Ah Da didn’t put on airs, they gradually became more comfortable around each other.

When the lesson ended, Ah Da reluctantly looked at Fang Yuan.

“Teacher Fang, can’t you stay a bit longer?”

Fang Yuan began packing her things into her bag, apologizing as she spoke, “I have to go tutor another little boy soon; I really can’t stay with you.”

“Alright then.” Ah Da didn’t press and her charming face brightened with a smile as she stood up to see her out.

Song Ma came over with a blue paper bag in hand. Ah Da took it and handed it to Fang Yuan.

“Teacher Fang, this is for you.”

Fang Yuan was surprised. She hadn’t expected Ah Da to suddenly give her a gift and quickly declined, “No, I can’t take this.”

Ah Da explained, “It’s nothing valuable, just some cookies. Teacher Fang, you can take them back for your friends and roommates to try.”

Song Ma added, “Miss Ade noticed you really enjoyed the heart-jam and twisted herb cookies, so she specifically instructed us to pack some for you to take away.”

Ah Da offered them again, “Teacher Fang, please take them.”

Fang Yuan looked at the girl in front of her, like a sprite, and finally couldn’t bring herself to refuse, taking the paper bag from her hand.

“Thank you, Ah Da.”

The girl immediately burst into a stunning smile, her voice sweet and intoxicating, “Teacher Fang, if you want to eat something next time, just tell me in advance on WeChat. The chefs here are amazing. They can make anything delicious.”

Fang Yuan nodded.

After leaving the Wuqiong Water Pavilion, driving onto the bridge, Fang Yuan glanced in the rearview mirror at the gradually receding island. The surrounding scenery always gave her an unreal feeling.

When she was notified again to tutor Ah Da, Fang Yuan numbly got into the car that had come to pick her up, and thus she arrived here. When she learned that the entire island, including the lake, was privately owned, she was so shocked she couldn’t say a word.

That “Mr. Qin” who hired her seemed wealthier than she had imagined, possibly as wealthy as the Lu Family.

Thinking of Ah Da, beautiful, young, jobless, with servants calling her Miss Ade, her surname wasn’t Qin, it was clear she wasn’t Mr. Qin’s sister.

The answer was nearly obvious.

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but clench her hand, the warmth from the paper bag seeping into her palm. She looked down and opened the bag. Inside were two boxes of cookies and also a small pink box.

On opening it, she found a bracelet with red cord woven, hanging a pale pink pearl in the center.

The pearl seemed to be of excellent quality, lustrous and smooth.

Fang Yuan had not expected Ah Da to truly give her a gift. Inside the box was a small crooked note.

“Teacher Fang, I wish you happiness and joy every day.”

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but smile; she put the bracelet on her wrist, thinking, whether Ah Da was kept or not, her optimistic and bright nature and personality were worth learning from.

She envied her.

Perhaps, she should be braver too.
