The little monster followed the human's words and flapped its wings behind it.
...
"A Bird."
The little monster looked over doubtfully.
Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "You are flying."
...
ah?
The little monster looked down.
Sure enough, the desktop was a little farther away from me.
It turned its head.
Wings spread.
At this time it is suspended in the air.
"Mea~"
...
The little monster smiled happily.
It's flying!
...
The little monster rose into the sky.
It took a sharp turn again.
It turned into a black shadow and "ramped" in the tea room.
It freely vents its joyful mood.
...
After a while, the little monster stopped in front of Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"Baa baa~"
...
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are curved.
Then the last question was asked.
"Are you still willing to stay with the current owner of the jade ball?"
...
Xiao Xiao opened the door of the tea room.
The waiter at the door bowed slightly to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Please ask Boss Bai to come over."
...
Boss Bai came over soon.
He was sitting in another tea room.
The aroma of tea filling the room could not ease his increasingly anxious mood.
As soon as he saw the waiter coming, he asked first without waiting for the other person to speak.
As soon as he heard that it was indeed Master Xiao who asked him to come over, he hurried over.
...
As soon as he sat down, Boss Bai couldn't wait to speak.
"Master Xiao."
Glancing at the jade ball on the table that had returned to its original shape, he seemed to have a rabbit hopping in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know what to ask.
"that......"
...
"Boss Bai, do you know the origin of this jade ball?"
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and took over Boss Bai's stuck words.
...
Boss Bai was stunned.
The origin of the jade ball...
Of course he knows.
"This jade ball was given to me by my father."
"Before he gave it to me, he always kept this jade ball with him."
...
"Then who gave this jade ball to your father?"
Xiao Xiao continued to ask, "Your grandfather?"
Boss Bai was about to answer when he suddenly noticed something strange.
He swallowed the answer he almost blurted out.
Then he asked, "Why are you so sure that this jade ball was given to my father by someone else and not bought by him himself?"
...
"I am not sure."
Xiao Xiao's answer made Boss Bai stunned.
Did he think too much?
"I just don't think the owner of the jade ball will sell it."
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the little monster who looked at Boss Bai curiously.
There was a bit of smile in his eyes.
...
"......What's the meaning?"
Boss Bai always felt that the other party seemed to have something on his mind.
However, he was eager to hear the follow-up and couldn't bear to beat around the bush.
He answered directly, "I don't know."
"In my impression, this jade ball has always been in my father's hand."
"I didn't ask him specifically about the origin of the jade ball."
...
Xiao Xiao put down the teacup and said, "Can I trouble you to ask the old man this question?"
Boss Bai nodded.
"I would have contacted you even if you didn't tell me."
This jade ball is actually composed of two halves.
It's still hollow inside.
If this jade ball was bought by an old man, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?
What made him even more angry was that someone dared to fool his family.
He would never give up so easily.
…
Boss Bai took out his mobile phone.
The hand that was about to press down paused.
He raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, "Master Xiao, the old man is old and his hearing is not very good."
"I'm afraid I can't tell you clearly on the phone."
"If you have time next time, would you like to go back to your old home with me?"
…
"good."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
…
To be on the safe side, Boss Bai called the old lady at home in the car.
"My dad is at home."
Compared with the old man who always can't hear the phone, the old lady's ears work better.
So he is more accustomed to calling the old lady every time.
…
The car quickly stopped at the door of the Bai family's old house.
This is a small villa with beautiful scenery.
Boss Bai walked in a hurry.
Obviously not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
…
"Xiao Rong."
The old lady who was watering the garden straightened up and said, "You're here."
"And you brought guests?"
The old lady's eyes fell on the young man beside her son.
A stranger you have never met.
And at this age, he doesn’t seem to be his son’s friend.
"Is it because you wanted to recognize your son as your godson, so you brought him back to us to see?"
The old lady had a sudden idea.
"mom!"
Boss Bai's mouth twitched fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense!"
He smiled sheepishly at Master Xiao.
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
Boss Bai simply explained to the old lady, "This is a friend I asked Lao Cai to meet."
After all, Master Xiao's true identity... is a little hard to say.
He had never been in contact with any master before.
"We have something to ask Dad about."
Boss Bai quickly changed the topic, "Mom, where is dad?"
"Study?"
…
"Um."
Seeing her son's anxious look, the old lady didn't want to find out now, "Your dad is in the study."
"Go up and find him."
…
"Mom, let's go up first."
Boss Bai hurried into the house.
Xiao Xiao smiled politely at the old lady.
Then he followed Boss Bai in front of him.
…
"He's a good kid."
The old lady's eyebrows relaxed.
Then he turned around and began to carefully take care of the flowers and plants in his yard.
…
Boss Bai stopped suddenly.
Xiao Xiao stood one step away from Boss Bai.
…
Boss Bai took a deep breath.
The walk was a bit hurried and he was out of breath.
Sure enough, he is older.
Boss Bai shook his head slightly.
He raised his hand -
"Dong dong~"
The old man pays attention to rules.
You must knock on the door to enter.
Otherwise, you will get angry.
When he was a child, he was often scolded for this matter.
…
"Come in."
The old man's old but energetic voice came from inside the door.
Boss Bai opened the door.
"dad."
…
After the old man made a heavy stroke on the last stroke, he exhaled and looked at the words in front of him with a somewhat satisfied look on his face.
He placed the brush on the inkstone.
Boss Bai handed the towel to the old man.
The old man wiped his hands and looked at his son, the smile on his face paused.
"Who is this?"
…
"Dad, we have something to ask you."
Boss Bai explained their purpose of coming.
…
"oh."
The old man rolled his eyes at Boss Bai and said, "I want to bring guests back without saying anything in advance."
"So that the family can make some preparations."
"You are such a big man and you don't even know the truth..."
…
"dad."
Boss Bai smiled bitterly.
"I was negligent."
He had been worried about explaining Master Xiao's identity, and when he called the old lady, he subconsciously forgot to tell her that he was bringing a guest back.
No wonder the two old men were so surprised when they saw Master Xiao.
…
"Don't do it again next time."
The old man reminded his son and smiled at the young man his son brought back, "Young man, sit down."
"If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk about it first."
