SPMT : Chapter 78 Refusing Sun Miaomiao

Refusing Sun Miaomiao

Taking advantage of a break from their busy schedules, Xiao Jingting took Xu Mu’an to browse around the major businesses in the city.

 

“What nonsense is this about buying a storage bracelet? I stay at home all day, where would I even go? What would I need this thing for?” Xu Mu’an stood in front of the counter, shaking his head helplessly at Xiao Jingting beside him.

 

“Just to keep things organized!” Xiao Jingting replied.

 

Xu Mu’an shook his head again, saying, “But what do I have to organize?”

 

Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an were looking at storage bracelets at the ground-floor counter of the business when a woman in blue descended from upstairs.

 

“Miss Sun, are you really not interested in this Jiaoyun silk robe? It’s rare Jiaoyun silk, cool in summer and warm in winter, and it’s only two thousand taels of silver. It’s not that expensive, actually,” a salesperson followed the woman in blue and said.

 

Xiao Jingting instinctively glanced behind him and noticed that the Miss Sun was none other than Sun Miaomiao.

 

When Sun Miaomiao saw Xiao Jingting, her face flushed red.

 

The salesperson attending to Xiao Jingting smiled and said, “Young Master Xiao, should I wrap up this storage bracelet for you?”

 

“We don’t want it,” Xu Mu’an replied.

 

“If you want it, we’ll take it, but no need to wrap it,” Xiao Jingting insisted, placing the storage bracelet forcefully on Xu Mu’an’s hand.

 

“Young Master Xiao, you’re a Gold member, so that’s a total of nine thousand five hundred taels,” the salesperson said.

 

Xiao Jingting promptly paid the silver.

 

“Young Master Xiao, now that your business is doing so well, this over nine thousand taels of silver must be nothing to you,” the salesperson remarked.(wtf do you care?!)

 

Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly and said, “What are you saying? It’s just some small business, barely enough to make ends meet.”

 

Seeing the bracelet on Xu Mu’an’s hand, Sun Miaomiao felt as if her eyes were being scorched by the glaring accessory.

 

Xiao Jingting turned to Xu Mu’an and suggested, “Let’s go look at some other things.”

 

“Xiao Jingting,” Sun Miaomiao suddenly raised her voice.

 

Xiao Jingting turned to look at Sun Miaomiao and asked, “Sister-in-law, is there something you need?”

 

Sun Miaomiao pointed at the Jiaoyun silk robe in the salesperson’s hand and said, “I like this. Buy it for me.”

 

Xiao Jingting was momentarily stunned. Sun Miaomiao was known for her capriciousness and willfulness, but Xiao Jingting had heard that she had toned it down after marrying Xiao Muhong. Apparently, that was not the case!

 

“Sister-in-law, I don’t have enough money with me. If you want to buy it, you should ask Cousin Xiao Muhong. Our family is expecting a new happy event (child) soon, so I need to work harder to earn more money to support our household expenses,” Xiao Jingting said sincerely.

 

Sun Miaomiao was full of anger. “Xiao Jingting, you used to say that you would buy me whatever I liked, no matter the cost. Are you going back on your word?”

 

Xiao Jingting was speechless. That was something the original host had said! Well, now that he had taken over the original host’s body, Sun Miaomiao seemed to have thrown caution to the wind, saying such things in public without caring about Xiao Muhong’s reaction.

 

“Sister-in-law, I was young and spoke without thinking back then. Times have changed, and now that you’re married to Cousin Xiao Muhong, let’s not dwell on the past,” Xiao Jingting explained sincerely.

 

Xu Mu’an tugged at Xiao Jingting’s sleeve and said, “Let’s go.”

 

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Alright.”

 

Sun Miaomiao watched helplessly as Xiao Jingting led Xu Mu’an away, her face turning pale with anger.

 

Noticing the attention from the people around them, Sun Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and angry. “What are you looking at? Is there something worth seeing?”

 

With a toss of her sleeve, Sun Miaomiao left angrily.

 

After leaving the business, Xiao Jingting cautiously looked behind him and breathed a sigh of relief. “She didn’t follow.”

 

“Are you afraid of her?” Xu Mu’an asked with a hint of amusement.

 

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “A little bit.” It seemed that Xiao Muhong couldn’t control Sun Miaomiao anymore.

 

“Before, you used to become weak-kneed at the sight of her,” Xu Mu’an said with a smile.

 

Xiao Jingting: “…”

 

Sun Miaomiao’s demand to Xiao Jingting to buy her clothes in public, followed by his refusal, quickly spread to Xiao Muhong’s ears.

 

Liu Xian was full of indignation. “Son, your wife has no sense of propriety.”

 

Xiao Muhong’s face turned black as coal, but he remained silent.

 

As the beverage shop’s business grew increasingly prosperous, tensions between him and Sun Miaomiao escalated. Initially, he had hoped that the newly opened beverage shops would divert some of Xiao Jingting’s business, but to his surprise, those shops were of such low quality that they attracted no customers.

 

Sun Miaomiao, being the daughter of the Sun family, was accustomed to spending lavishly. Now that the second branch had taken over, they had significantly tightened their control over finances, forcing him to cut expenses repeatedly.

 

“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way,” Sun Miaomiao had always been capricious, and her behavior wasn’t a recent development. When she first married him, she had toned down her behavior considerably, and many of Xiao Muhong’s friends praised him for his ability to handle her whims. Now, it seemed he had become the laughingstock among his friends.

 

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Muhong realized that Sun Miaomiao might regret her actions in public. Xiao Jingting’s shop was said to earn several thousand taels a day, so it wasn’t surprising that Sun Miaomiao had become interested.

 

“It seems Sun Miaomiao saw Xiao Jingting buying a storage bracelet for Xu Mu’an in the shop. That guy, Xiao Jingting, is so smug, he made some money and instead of cultivating, all he knows is to spend it recklessly. I doubt he’ll ever amount to anything,” Liu Xian cursed bitterly.

 

Xiao Muhong looked at Liu Xian’s angry face and said, “Mother, calm down.” Liu Xian had been under a lot of pressure lately, and she looked noticeably haggard.

 

“These two brats…” Liu Xian cursed in frustration. If she had known, she would have spared no effort to get rid of those two nuisances.

 

“I’m back,” Sun Miaomiao walked in and greeted the two with a faint nod before entering the room.

 

Seeing Sun Miaomiao’s indifferent demeanor, Liu Xian’s anger flared up again. Thinking about relying on the Sun family behind Sun Miaomiao, Liu Xian forcibly suppressed her anger.

 

 

Beverage shop.

 

“Brother Jing, should it be placed higher?” Li Qing asked, adjusting the signboard.

 

Xiao Jingting glanced at it and said, “It’s about right. You can come down now.”

 

Li Qing was originally a member of the mercenary group, but after a demonic beast shattered his Qi Sea, his cultivation dropped from the third to the second level. When Li Qing returned home, he faced rejection from his family, but his life became much more stable after Xiao Jingting hired him as a staff member to handle delivery tasks.

 

“Vice Captain.”

 

Xiao Jinfeng frowned. When Li Qing and Tong Li first arrived, they habitually called him Vice Captain, but they corrected themselves after a while.

 

Xiao Jinfeng turned his head and saw Zhang Meng, whose face didn’t look good. When Xiao Jinfeng was in the mercenary group, he had a good relationship with Zhang Meng and Zhou Fang. At that time, when Xiao Jinfeng was expelled from the mercenary group, Zhang Meng had tried to speak up for him. However, with Hua Yufeng in control, Zhang Meng and the others couldn’t afford to offend him too much, so in the end, they could only watch Xiao Jinfeng being expelled.

 

Xiao Jinfeng could understand Zhang Meng and Zhou Fang’s pragmatic choices, but that didn’t mean he could accept them.

 

“Don’t call me Vice Captain. I’m no longer a member of the mercenary group expelled long ago,” Xiao Jinfeng said coldly.

 

Upon hearing Xiao Jinfeng’s words, Zhang Meng and Zhou Fang’s faces were full of embarrassment.

 

“Do you have something to discuss?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.

 

“Brother Feng, the mercenary group has disbanded,” Zhang Meng said.

 

“Oh,” Xiao Jinfeng replied indifferently.

 

That guy Hua Yufeng finally ran the mercenary group into the ground. Xiao Jinfeng had thought he would feel a sense of schadenfreude, but instead, he felt a sense of emptiness. Thinking about the miserable experiences in the mercenary group, Xiao Jinfeng didn’t want to talk much. He turned around and left. “I have something to do. Excuse me.”

 

“Brother Feng, I’m sorry,” Zhang Meng said.

 

Xiao Jinfeng sighed and walked into the shop.

 

Li Qing looked at Zhang Meng, unsure of what to say.

 

“How did the mercenary group disband?” Li Qing asked.

 

Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment before replying, “The mercenary group took on several high-risk missions in a row, resulting in increasingly severe casualties, and then it disbanded.”

 

“I see,” Li Qing sighed, not knowing what else to say.

 

” Xiao Jin Feng is doing well now!” Zhang Meng remarked.

 

Li Qing nodded, “Yes.”

 

The business of the beverage shop was getting better day by day. Some businesses even bought beverages here in bulk and resold them elsewhere. Now that Xiao Jinfeng had walked out, everyone called him “Boss Xiao”. Life was much easier than when he was in the mercenary group.

 

“How is Hua Yufeng?” Li Qing asked.

 

“He’s severely injured. It seems that even if he recovers, he’ll only reach the second level of Qi Cultivation, so the mercenary group disbanded,” Zhang Meng replied.

 

Li Qing didn’t know what to say for a moment. When the mercenary group expelled Xiao Jinfeng, Li Qing was very angry. He had known that Hua Yufeng and Xiao Jinfeng didn’t get along very well, but he never thought Hua Yufeng would go so far. Moreover, the members of the mercenary group, for the sake of the benefits promised by the Zhou family, had turned a blind eye to Xiao Jinfeng’s poisoning and even added insult to injury.

 

Now, hearing about Hua Yufeng’s severe injury, Li Qing couldn’t help but feel that it was his own doing.

 

“As you sow, so shall you reap,” Li Qing shook his head.

 

“How are you doing here?” Zhang Meng asked.

 

“Pretty good,” Li Qing replied.

 

Although Xiao Jinfeng treated them, former members of the mercenary group, well, their relationship wasn’t as close as before. Despite leaving the mercenary group when the incident occurred, they had once been part of the mercenary group. Xiao Jinfeng’s willingness to let go of his biases and employ them was already commendable.

 

After a brief chat, Li Qing and Zhang Meng left.

 

Zhang Meng sighed lightly as he looked in the direction of the shop, then turned and left.

 

 

After Sun Miaomiao returned to the Xiao family, she began to smash things around.

 

“Miss, calm down. This is the Xiao family. If you act like this, Master will not be pleased,” a maid said nervously.

 

Sun Miaomiao’s eyes turned red as she gritted her teeth, “If he’s not pleased, so be it.”

 

Sun Miaomiao was filled with grievances. When she first married Xiao Muhong, she had hoped that he would succeed, but now the main branch was constantly restricting her, and even the servants in the house were siding against her. Many people secretly said that she had abandoned Xiao Jingting and chosen Xiao Muhong, losing more than she gained.

 

When Xiao Linfeng had just returned, Sun Miaomiao still felt that her choice was correct. Xiao Muhong had potential, while Xiao Jingting was nothing more than a second-generation heir, relying on his parents’ power to do whatever he pleased.

 

However, now that her life was getting worse and Xiao Jingting’s was getting better, Sun Miaomiao was beginning to doubt her decision.

 

Wang Lu disliked her very much and often ridiculed her for no reason. Xiao Muhong was wary of Wang Lu and didn’t dare to speak to her.

 

When Sun Miaomiao was in the Sun family, she was a wealthy young lady who had never experienced such grievances.

 

Sun Miaomiao had originally thought that Xiao Muhong was a good person, but now she felt that he was very weak.

 

What was Xu Mu’an? A low-born person, and even a double cultivator. Xiao Jingting must have lost his mind to spend nearly ten thousand taels on a storage bracelet for Xu Mu’an. The man wasn’t even worthy; she still used a storage pouch.

 

Sun Miaomiao clenched her fists, regretting her impulsive words today. How dare Xiao Jingting, that guy, humiliate her like this!

 

In the past, she would point east and Xiao Jingting wouldn’t dare to say west. She said south, and Xiao Jingting wouldn’t dare to say north.

 

Sun Miaomiao’s face flushed red, feeling a belly full of grievances.
