His wife used to say that Zhao Zhenzhen was a bit silly and self-important, stubborn, and didn't listen to reason.
He thought these weren't big issues, but now it seemed like a ticking time bomb.
If she offended the expert and they decided to quit, his son might be like this for the rest of his life.
If Xie Jiucheng woke up and married her, how would they socialize in the future?
Talking to herself, insisting on doing everything her way, and self-righteously guilt-tripping others – wouldn't that offend all the ladies in their circle?
Upon thinking this, both of them became serious. As the saying goes, an unwise wife brings disaster to three generations; this surnamed Zhao must never enter their family.
"Miss Zhao Zhenzhen, we are very satisfied with the conditions proposed by Daoist Xu. This cooperation is between the Xie family and Daoist Xu.
We don't need you to interfere with price negotiation. We are very grateful for your concern for my son and for finding Daoist Xu."
Father Xie then took out a check, wrote 100,000, and pushed it towards Zhao Zhenzhen.
"This 100,000 yuan is your brokerage fee. This price is very considerable in the entire industry. From now on, we are quits."
Zhao Zhenzhen looked hurt, "Uncle Xie, have I done something wrong? Why are you suddenly so distant?
Jiucheng is my boyfriend, and it's natural for me to worry about him and help him. I won't accept this money. You are insulting my character."
As she spoke, she stared directly at Father Xie, her unyielding expression seemingly saying.
Don't try to corrupt me with dirty money, don't measure my true love with money.
Father Xie and Mother Xie's foreheads were covered in black lines. They decided to change Jun Jiuli's hotel the next day and not let Zhao Zhenzhen interfere with this matter anymore.
"Giving you the money is our stance. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. We won't change our impression of you based on whether you accept it or not.
It's getting late. It's quite dangerous for a girl to be out alone."
The implication was clear: she should leave. Zhao Zhenzhen bit her lip and stood up, unsteady.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I considered myself part of the Xie family. I won't bother you again."
She glanced reluctantly at Xie Jiucheng lying on the bed, then left timidly. https:/
"See? I told you she has a problem with her brain."
"Yes, yes, whatever my wife says is right."
The next morning, Zhao Zhenzhen was waiting in the lobby of the hotel where Jun Jiuli and the others were staying.
Jun Jiuli didn't have a phone, so she couldn't contact her. Without customer permission, the hotel staff wouldn't let her go up.
As soon as Mother Xie arrived, she saw Zhao Zhenzhen and ignored her completely. She cursed inwardly, thinking she was haunting them, and was determined to let the expert know she wasn't associated with Zhao Zhenzhen.
Zhao Zhenzhen didn't shamelessly approach them but sat quietly, waiting patiently.
Jun Jiuli had a persona of living in the mountains, not understanding modern technology, and not having much money.
After all, in the mountains, she was self-sufficient, so she wouldn't use electronic payments, and even her breakfast needed someone to take care of it.
It was Xie Qiuer's first time staying in such a comfortable place, and she had been so excited lying on the bed last night that she only fell asleep after a long time.
However, her biological clock woke her up on time. Jun Jiuli, wanting to set a good example, couldn't oversleep.
So, when Mother Xie knocked on the door, both mother and daughter had already washed up and changed into the clothes Mother Xie had bought them yesterday.
Don't ask how Mother Xie got up there; the hotel was owned by her family.
"Oh my, Qiui is awake too. How amazing, how well-behaved. Your Brother Jiucheng used to oversleep at your age."
Qiuer's little face turned rosy from the praise. She really liked the gentle aunt in front of her.
Hearing that the aunt was going to take her to eat good food again, she smiled even more happily. After getting permission from Jun Jiuli, she happily let Mother Xie lead her forward.
Jun Jiuli followed them with a smile. As soon as Zhao Zhenzhen saw her, she quickly walked over.
Mother Xie, thinking she was hiding her intentions well, gave Zhao Zhenzhen a warning look.
Zhao Zhenzhen knew that her words yesterday had displeased the Xie parents. Although she felt bad about the three million yuan, all that money would be hers in the future!
But she knew that if she insisted further, it would only make the Xie parents even more unhappy.
"Sister Ying, I want to go with you to that place. My relationship with Jiucheng is very stable, and with me there, the chances of success will be even greater.
I swear I won't cause any trouble. Once we get there, I will obediently listen to you."
"Alright, as long as you behave and don't wander off."
Yesterday, Jun Jiuli had already told them that Xie Jiucheng had lost his soul and needed to go to the place where he lost it to call his soul back, and that a close person had to do the calling.
Mother Xie didn't want to show her unkind side in front of Jun Jiuli, and she thought Zhao Zhenzhen's words made sense, so she indulged her.
After eating, Jun Jiuli made some preparations, entrusting Xie Qiuer to Mother Xie's care. The driver drove the car to the foot of the mountain and waited for them inside.
The closer they got to the house, the colder it became. Father Xie unconsciously moved closer to Jun Jiuli.
Standing outside the house, Father Xie felt a chill down his spine and inwardly cursed his foolish son.
How dare he rush into such a gloomy place? He truly didn't know how to cherish his life. Anyone with eyes could see, and anyone with toes could think, that there was something wrong inside.
Father Xie obediently sat down cross-legged, as if entrusting his life to Jun Jiuli.
He said very solemnly, "Immortal Aunt Xu, everything is in your hands." With that, he closed his eyes.
Shui Wa: "This title is nice."
Jun Jiuli: "From now on, people will call me that."
Zhao Zhenzhen also closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Sister Ying, I'm also ready. Please begin."
Jun Jiuli already had a way to summon souls, and Xie Jiucheng's soul had already been summoned by her.
However, she didn't want to say it and pretended to set up a formation, sitting in the middle of them and chanting continuously.
