Seeing the displeasure on Xiao Qiudong's face, Xiao Ping smiled awkwardly and immediately corrected himself. "Of course, our Winter Melon is also very outstanding. He does engineering and marries a Taiwanese wife. These are well-known in the surrounding villages."
"What Winter Melon? What are you insinuating? Are you saying that my neck is short? Call me Xiao Qiudong in the future. If you call me Winter Melon again, I'll fall out with you! "Xiao Qiudong's face darkened and he scolded Xiao Ping angrily.
Xiao Ping was stunned, and then he could only smile apologetically, nodding and bowing as he said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Xiao Luo saw all of this. Xiao Ping was older. Since childhood, Xiao Ping had always been like an elder brother. He had never been so humble like today. Even after being scolded by Xiao Qiudong, he still had to smile respectfully. How could he not see that there was something fishy going on?
"Miss Ji, is it? Hello, my name is Xiao Qiudong. Xiao Luo and I have a very good relationship. When we were young, his underpants were still wet. He even wore my underpants. Speaking of which, we really grew up wearing the same pair of underpants." Xiao Qiudong reached out his hand to Ji Siying. The expression on his face changed faster than flipping a book. A moment ago, he was angry, and the next moment, he had a warm smile.
Fake!
Xiao Luo sighed helplessly in his heart. He could not understand how his childhood friend could become so hypocritical. He could not see the slightest sincerity.
Out of politeness, Ji Siying reached out and shook Xiao Qiudong's hand. She smiled and said, "Hello!"
"Miss Ji, you should be from Jiang City. Since you can own a luxury car like the Alfa, your family's assets must be over ten million or even hundreds of millions. I'm very curious. Why do you like our Xiao Luo? This brat should not be from the same world as you. "Xiao Qiudong asked sarcastically.
The smile on Ji Siying's face disappeared, and she retracted her hand. There was hostility in her eyes. How could she not know that this guy was stirring up trouble?
"Oh … Miss Ji, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious. After all, you and Xiao Luo are too much like the story of the princess and the poor boy in the fairy tale world." Xiao Qiudong said with a smile.
Xiao Ping frowned and whispered, "Qiudong, what you said is not good.. You are provoking the relationship between Luo and Miss Ji."
"Provoking? Who is provoking? ..................... or............... Xiao.. Xiao.
There was the sound of beating gongs and drums in the altar, which covered up Xiao Qiudong's voice. Otherwise, with his voice, everyone would look this way.
Xiao Ping dared not to say anything. He clenched and loosened his fists. He was afraid that Xiao Qiudong would not lend him money. Before, the whole family was kind. They almost knelt down to Xiao Qiudong. Xiao Qiudong agreed to lend him money. How dare he make Xiao Qiudong unhappy?
"Qiudong, don't be too arrogant!" Xiao Luo said coldly.
"Arrogant?"
Xiao Qiudong raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud as if he had heard a very funny joke. "Xiao Luo, my good brother, how can you see that I am arrogant? My tone is a little heavy, but it is definitely not arrogant. Ping Ge, what do you think?"
Xiao Ping had a favor to ask, so he immediately nodded and squeezed out a smile on his face. "Qiudong is right. You are not arrogant. Luo Zi, your words are biased."
"Did you hear that? Even Ping Ge said you were wrong. "Xiao Qiudong snorted proudly.
Xiao Luo shook his head and laughed. He felt that Xiao Qiudong was really boring.
Xiao Qiudong looked at Ji Siying and said with a smile, "Miss Ji, can you satisfy my curiosity? What attracted you to Xiao Luo?"
Ji Siying looked at Xiao Luo and then said seriously, "He is very good!"
"Oh?" Xiao Qiudong pretended to be surprised.
Ji Siying added, "He is better than you, more handsome than you, better than you in everything."
Although her relationship with Xiao Luo was fake, she was not used to Xiao Qiudong, such a hypocritical person, making fun of Xiao Luo.
Such straightforward words almost made Xiao Ping laugh out loud.
The smile on Xiao Qiudong's face solidified and was replaced with a gloomy face. Then he laughed out loud, "Ha ha ha … Miss Ji is really interesting. There is a saying that beauty is not charming. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It seems that this is true."
Ji Siying's words had trampled his dignity to the ground. Xiao Luo was better than him in every aspect, and this was a great humiliation to him. He wanted to shout out loud that Xiao Luo was just a gigolo, a good-for-nothing who was not qualified to be compared with him. Of course, he had not lost his mind, nor was he so angry that he would completely fall out with Xiao Luo. So, he held it in.
Xiao Luo didn't say a word, but glanced at Ji Siying with appreciation, thinking, "This liaison is good!"
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't have any feelings for Ji Siying. Her looks were good, her figure was good, and her personality was good. Most importantly, his grandparents liked her very much. If there was a spark between the two of them, he could accept it.
At this moment, Xiao Quanren's chanting became more and more urgent. His movements of drawing talismans in the void also became faster. The rhythm of the gongs and drums also became faster, as if some kind of ritual had reached its climax and suddenly increased in intensity.
Suddenly, Xiao Quanren's eyes opened. His turbid old eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look directly at them.
The gongs and drums stopped, and his old voice, full of wisdom, rang out, "Sacrifice the blood spirit, open the divine barrel, protect the Xiao clansmen. Keep them healthy and immune to all diseases!"
The Xiao clansmen present immediately stood up and neatly lined up in three rows. They looked at the altar in front of them with pious eyes. Xiao Quanren caught a rooster and cut off its head to extract its blood. He put his index and middle fingers together and dipped them in the blood. Then, he gently pressed a red dot between each Xiao clansman's eyebrows. Then, a bowl of divine water from the divine barrel at the innermost part of the altar was brought to them.
"Mr. Xiao Luo, are we going to drink the divine water?" Ji Siying asked softly.
Xiao Luo nodded, "Pour the eyebrows to bless, and the divine water to protect us."
"Do you want to drink it all?"
"If you can finish it, then finish it. If you can't, then just drink three small sips. Pour the rest on the wall. Don't pour it on the ground." Xiao Luo reminded her. This was the idea he had been taught since he was young. The divine water should not be poured on the ground, or it would attract the scolding of others.
"Okay."
Ji Siying nodded solemnly.
"Who is this lady?"
Xiao Quanren came in front of Ji Siying. Confusion appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Old Master, she is Xiao Luo's girlfriend," Xiao Dichang informed him.
"Who is she?"
Xiao Quanren was old and deaf. He did not hear clearly.
Xiao Dichang walked up and said loudly in his ear, "She is Xiao Luo's girlfriend. She is here to pay respects to the grandmaster. She will enter our Xiao clan sooner or later."
"Oh, oh, so she is Xiao Luo's girlfriend. Good, good, good. Xiao Luo is so capable. His girlfriend is so beautiful."
