Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Ancestor’s Advice

After offering incense, Cao Jiadong and Boss Cao had matters to attend to.

Boss Cao needed to return to the hospital, while Cao Jiadong had official business to take care of.

Before leaving, Boss Cao returned the land deed to Jiangli.

"Abbot, this is the land deed for Jiaoyang Temple. I’ve thought it over, and Jiaoyang Temple is too efficacious for a worldly person like me to touch. It’s best to return the deed to you."

This time, Jiangli didn’t stand on ceremony and directly asked Xia Xin to take it.

Seeing Xia Xin take the deed, she said, "We’ll take the deed, but rest assured, Boss Cao, one thing at a time, the six million you’re owed, I’ll find a way to repay you. No need for courtesies, what’s yours is yours, there’s no need to be polite. However, as for other things, if they shouldn’t be yours, don’t think about them. Sometimes, having some things isn’t really a blessing."

Hearing Jiangli’s words, Boss Cao nodded thoughtfully, then thanked her and left.

Boss Cao and Cao Jiadong had left, but Boss Cao’s assistant and the installation crew stayed behind to continue installing the items Boss Cao had brought.

After seeing off Boss Cao, Xia Xin followed Jiangli towards the side hall, asking curiously, "Ancestor, the words you said to Boss Cao just now, I feel there was more to them. Could it be that Boss Cao is going to have some problem?"

"Not at all,"

Jiangli entered the side hall and took out her phone. "I just wanted him to let go and open his eyes wider. He has gotten too many things he shouldn’t have in the past, which has actually brought him misfortune."

Upon reflection, Xia Xin realized that was really the case.

Previously, Boss Cao seemed to have made a lot of money, but a lot of it was like Talisman Coins.

For instance, Jiaoyang Temple.

Initially, to treat his master’s illness, he had no choice but to borrow money from Boss Cao.

People from Xuanmen often suffer the ’five shortcomings and three lacks.’

Xia Xin and the old Taoist had the issue of lacking money.

Neither of the two could keep money in hand.

Xia Xin originally borrowed one million from Boss Cao, but only spent just over a hundred thousand on treatment for his master, who said his time was near and there was no need to waste money, thus he stopped the treatment.

Xia Xin had planned to return the rest of the money to Boss Cao, but ended up being cheated out of it.

Latter on, to maintain the operations of Jiaoyang Temple, he spent quite a bit of money, all borrowed from Boss Cao.

Boss Cao was the kind of person who wouldn’t take action until he saw benefits – lending money was fine, but it required collateral.

Xia Xin had no choice but to use the temple’s land deed as a mortgage.

But all things considered, he owed at most a little over one million.

Yet Boss Cao charged exorbitant interest, turning it into six million.

Xia Xin, being alone and powerless, was unable to confront Boss Cao, especially with the land deed still in Boss Cao’s hands.

Xia Xin had also heard that Boss Cao indeed employed some dishonorable tactics in his dealings. Although he wouldn’t hurt anyone or such, they were all rather despicable acts.

He indeed was a man who would resort to any means to achieve his goals.

The things he gained, naturally, shouldn’t have belonged to him in the first place.

Now, it was as if he had spit them out.

Even though Wang Lijuan didn’t get the company, the property she ended up with was probably not a small amount, enough to give Boss Cao a hard time.

Thinking of this, Xia Xin sighed, indeed as the ancestor had said.

Ill-gotten wealth is like flowing water; easy come, easy go.

Heaven always finds various ways to force it out.

As Xia Xin was reflecting, Jiangli’s voice rang out.

"Have they finished installing everything?"

Xia Xin was startled, looking over in confusion, "Huh?"

He was met with Jiangli’s rolling eyes.

Jiangli, frowning and impatiently said, "The things we bought, have they finished installing them?"

"Oh, oh... they haven’t finished installing yet; they said it would take a little more time," Xia Xin replied, his nerves taut with tension.

They had never thought of installing things like televisions or smart toilets in the rooms before, lacking the necessary electrical sockets.

He heard they would have to reroute the wiring through the walls and floors, and aiming to complete it within the day was already considered fast.

Luckily, Xia Xin and the old Taoist had been too poor before to lay any flooring tiles, just cement floors and walls, which made it much easier.
