Chapter 772: Chapter 0772: Call the Poison Sect Over

"What’s so bad about it, you said he treats you well, didn’t you?"

Sun Zhuangjia immediately spoke up, dissatisfied, "Not to mention what sort of person the old Mr. Su is, just the fact that your grandfather wants to meet his grandson-in-law, he has no reason to refuse. Otherwise, how can he be considered good to you?"

"That’s right, even though he’s busy with his affairs, he should at least have the time for a meal, right?"

Old Mr. Su furrowed his brows slightly and harrumphed, "Is he busier than me? It’s rare for everyone to be in Songhai City together, having him make time to come over for a quick meal is beneficial for everyone. If possible, you all should set the wedding date."

Even though he knew Tang Xin had a special status, Old Mr. Su had long held a high position and naturally possessed an aura of authority that made it difficult for others to refuse him.

"Alright, then I’ll call him to arrange it."

Seeing the old man getting agitated, Su Xiaoxi quickly responded.

"Wait a second."

As Su Xiaoxi took out her phone to make a call, Sun Zhuangjia spoke up again.

"What else do you want to do?"

Su Xiaoxi glared at Sun Zhuangjia, clearly annoyed.

Sun Zhuangjia ignored Su Xiaoxi’s glare and turned to old Mr. Su, "Grandfather Su, do you know of the Poison Sect? Xin Badao and Chu Batian from the Poison Sect seem to be in the province’s capital right now, and they have a close relationship with Tang Xin. Why not invite them over as well? It’s a rare opportunity to make connections with a big sect like the Poison Sect."

"Indeed, the Poison Sect is not a weak sect," Old Mr. Su narrowed his eyes, though the Su Family was powerful, they were not a pure Martial Arts Sect, half in the world of Martial Arts and half in the secular world. Establishing relations with a powerful sect like the Poison Sect could be very beneficial for the Su Family.

"Yes, especially since the Poison Sect specializes in poison, their influence in the entire Martial Arts world is quite formidable, not something ordinary sects can compare to." Sun Zhuangjia nodded repeatedly.

"Good, Xiaoxi, in that case, have Tang Xin bring those two bigshots from the Poison Sect over as well," Old Mr. Su was very much interested and instructed Su Xiaoxi.

"I’ll try."

Su Xiaoxi forced a smile, then walked aside to call Tang Ming.

"Hey, big sister, is there anything else?"

After the call connected, the sleepy Tang Ming, who was in the hotel, asked groggily.

"Ahem, do you have time to come to my place? My grandfather wants to meet you." Su Xiaoxi glanced at Sun Zhuangjia and the old man, and quietly explained the situation.

"I’m just your shield, I’ve already helped you out with the trouble at the banquet, why do I have to go now?"

Tang Ming complained unhappily, "It’s endless, your matters are too much trouble."

"Please, it’s all or nothing with acting. Once my grandfather goes back, it’ll be over, but while everyone is still in the province’s capital, if you don’t come over, our previous arrangement will fall through."

Su Xiaoxi pleaded earnestly.

"I can come over... but it’s going to cost you more," Tang Ming yawned, resentfully speaking.

"No problem."

Su Xiaoxi agreed without hesitation but couldn’t help feeling frustrated, "You’re not even short on money now; can’t you stop acting like you’re so greedy?"

"No way, I used to be scared of poverty, just pretend I’ve fallen into a pile of money," Tang Ming asserted righteously, "Besides, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, I won’t work for nothing."

"Alright, alright, I’m scared of you now, name your price, I promise I won’t haggle."

Su Xiaoxi urged impatiently, "Hurry over here, and by the way, my grandfather wants to see Xin Badao and Chu Batian. Bring both of them along."

"I can bring them over too..."

Before Tang Ming could finish his sentence, Su Xiaoxi added, "I know there will be an extra charge. No problem, just come over quickly."

"Okay." Tang Ming agreed and then hung up the phone.

"This money-grubber."

Su Xiaoxi complained but didn’t really care in her heart. The previous deal with Tang Ming was for one million, so she didn’t take Tang Ming’s so-called extra charge seriously. If need be, three million for three people was bearable for her at the moment.

"All settled, they’ll be over soon."

After making the call, Su Xiaoxi put away her phone and looked at Sun Zhuangjia with a smug face, "I told you, he’s very good to me. He listens to everything I say."

"That’s great."

Sun Zhuangjia smiled, seeing this as killing two birds with one stone—not only could they test Tang Xin, but also create opportunities for Qi Bikou. If danger arose there, they could observe Tang Xin’s reaction to determine whether Tang Xin really was Tang Ming.

Damn smart.

The thought of his smartly constructed series of plans almost astounded Sun Zhuangjia with his own cleverness.

"Good, good, good. It seems my granddaughter has found herself a good man."

Laughing at Su Xiaoxi’s words, the old Master Su felt relieved knowing that a man of Tang Xin’s status was obedient to Su Xiaoxi, meaning he didn’t have to worry about his granddaughter being bullied.

With a forced smile, Su Xiaoxi echoed the sentiment, but her heart was filled with bitterness. If her future husband also needed to negotiate terms every time before acting, then she’d be driven to tears.

After receiving the call, Tang Ming lazed in bed for a while before finally getting up to call Xin Badao and Chu Batian. It was time to play the long game and make Su Xiaoxi bleed cash.

At this moment, Liu Mengting and the other girls were shopping with great enthusiasm, inspecting various items in an overseas brand cosmetics store.

"Ah, there are so many things here. I’m getting dizzy just looking. I really don’t know what to buy."

Li Xiaoli constantly compared the plethora of cosmetics in front of her, complaining with frustration.

"Yes, I didn’t expect the provincial capital to be so much more developed than Songlan City. I’ve only seen this skincare product online, and they actually have it in stock here."

Liu Mengting also felt amazed.

"Just that the prices are too high." Xia Wei’er was always looking at the price tags, which all seemed exorbitantly expensive to her.

"Wei’er, stop thinking about saving money for Tang Ming. He said he’s paying for all of our spending today. He is a billionaire Pixiu now; even if we splurge, it will be but a drop in the bucket to him," Li Xiaoli said as she rolled her eyes at Xia Wei’er. She quickly took out her phone, "I’ll give Chen Cang a call. He’s really interested in these things and has better taste than us. Let’s have him come take a look."

After several rings, the call connected, and Chen Cang’s distinct voice came through, "Xiaoli, what’s up?"

"Chen Cang, how’s your cultivation retreat?" Li Xiaoli asked concernedly.

"I just finished the retreat, and I’m about to take a shower. I’m covered in stinky sweat; it’s so dirty."

Chen Cang exclaimed with disgust.

"That’s great, then hurry over to Orange Light Mall. There are so many of the latest skincare products here. Come join us for a shopping spree," Li Xiaoli invited excitedly.
