Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Tricking the Ancestor in the First Step of Meeting the Parents

Everyone listened and took a closer look, indeed, the powder on the ground resembled wood that had been eaten away by insects.

It seemed like everything had returned to normal.

"You don’t have to worry about what comes next, I’ll collect the bones. You just have to take them back and rebury them," Jiangli said.

Qi Guowen heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your trouble, Abbot."

Jiangli carelessly waved her hand, threw her phone to Xia Xin, and then went over to the pit, stood on a patch of powder, and began picking out the bones.

Everyone saw that she wasn’t afraid at all. She didn’t even mention wearing gloves or anything, and casually started picking through with her hands.

Just as Xia Xin was thinking about whether or not to go over and help, the phone that Jiangli had left with him rang.

It was Fu Shiyan calling.

Xia Xin quickly said, "Ancient Ancestor, General Fu is calling. Should I answer it?"

"You answer it, just bring them in," Jiangli said without looking up, picking a long bone out of a pile of powder, which appeared to be a femur.

Everyone shivered.

Xia Xin felt a bit creeped out too, but still steeled himself and picked up Fu Shiyan’s call, "Hello, General Fu..."

Fu Shiyan was just about to speak, but when he heard Xia Xin’s voice, he paused, "Why isn’t Lili the one answering?"

Hearing this ’long-missed’ greasy nickname, Xia Xin couldn’t help but shudder.

What was this situation?

Why was it suddenly Lili?

It was one thing to play along before, but now that the act was over, why was he still taking advantage of the Ancient Ancestor?

Xia Xin wanted to give Fu Shiyan a lecture, but...

He really didn’t have the guts.

He coughed deliberately, pretending he hadn’t heard, "The Ancient Ancestor is busy, General Fu. Have you arrived?"

Fu Shiyan grunted affirmatively, "We’ve arrived, but the navigation can’t lead us inside."

Xia Xin immediately remembered Jiangli’s words.

The Ancient Ancestor was like she had foreseen all their conversations.

Xia Xin followed Jiangli’s instructions, "The Ancient Ancestor is busy, but she told me to come get you, General Fu. Could you wait outside for a moment?"

Fu Shiyan agreed.

Xia Xin told Jiangli.

Jiangli gestured with her hand.

Indicating he should not disturb her.

Xia Xin then quickly went out to receive the guests.

The Qi Family members were curious as to who would come this late.

Running to the road at the edge of the village, Xia Xin saw Fu Shiyan’s car, with Duan Jianchuan waiting outside of it.

Xia Xin approached, greeted them, and then said, "You can drive a bit further in, but you’ll have to stop at a field intersection outside; you won’t be able to drive in."

Duan Jianchuan then said, "Okay, you lead the way, shall I drive behind you?"

Xia Xin nodded and waited for Duan Jianchuan to get in the car, then led the way.

The road was not long.

Xia Xin led them to the field intersection and had them stop the car there.

At that moment, people began to get out of the car one by one.

Only then did Xia Xin notice, not only were Fu Shiyan and Duan Jianchuan there, Wen Zishu was there, and there was also a man... with an imposing presence, quite intimidating!

Upon seeing him, Xia Xin instinctively stood straighter, feeling as if he might be picked on or scolded, similar to the feeling he had with his high school teachers.

Meaner than his high school teachers!

Xia Xin was a bit confused and looked at Duan Jianchuan for help.

Duan Jianchuan stood beside Xia Xin and whispered, "This is Shiyan’s second uncle, the one from the Fu Family in the military, Fu Lang. If you’re willing, you can call him Second Uncle too, or just Mr. Fu if you prefer."

Xia Xin suddenly realized the gravity of the situation...

So, the dinner that Fu Shiyan wanted the Ancient Ancestor to treat to today was a meet the parents situation?!

He thought there was something odd about suddenly asking the Ancient Ancestor out to dinner.

And calling the Ancient Ancestor Lili!

Ancient Ancestor, you’ve indeed been tricked!
