Rebirth: Inheriting Millions In The Eighties
Chapter 601 - 599 Truly Impressive_1

In her mind, she thought, compared to you, I certainly wouldn’t take such brainless fools to heart.

After all, as the saying goes, barking dogs seldom bite!

Next to this calculating woman, someone as brainless as Ning Xiaoyou is simply not worth mentioning.

"What happened?" At this moment, Mrs. Xia Ning returned, and upon seeing her daughter standing together with her niece, she couldn’t help but frown and ask.

If one looked closely, they would notice a flash of barely perceptible disgust in Mrs. Xia Ning’s eyes upon seeing Ning Mo.

She did not like Ning Mo.

Even though this niece had known how to please her from a young age.

What Ning Mo was unaware of was that what Mrs. Xia Ning despised the most was ingratiating behavior with ulterior motives!

Ning Mo naturally didn’t realize this and thought she had always disguised it well. She gently answered, "Auntie, Yoyo accidentally bumped into Miss Xia, and I was just comforting Miss Xia not to mind, after all, my cousin has always been quite straightforward and careless since childhood."

These words not only subtly blackened Ning Xiaoyou, but also showed her own tenderness and kindness.

She thought this should be enough to win her aunt’s affection.

Mrs. Xia Ning indeed praised her, seeming very satisfied, "Well done."

Ning Mo’s lips curved slightly, her smile shy but with a hint of barely noticeable pride: "Auntie, there’s no need to praise me, it’s what I should do. Now that Miss Xia is your disciple, she is one of our Xia family, and thus, she is like a sister to me."

She sounded sincere.

She surely deserved an Oscar for this performance.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

She really knew how to ingratiate herself!

Mrs. Xia Ning chuckled inwardly, but superficially nodded with feigned sincerity: "You’re right to think that way, auntie is very comforted."

Ning Mo thought she had successfully ingratiated herself with Mrs. Xia Ning and felt even more pleased with herself, then she slightly bowed: "I believe auntie and Miss Xia must have more to discuss, so Mo’er will not disturb you further."

"Okay," Mrs. Xia Ning nodded.

"Mo’er will take her leave," Ning Mo bowed again, only leaving after completing the proper courtesies.

After she left, Mrs. Xia Ning immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance, then pulling Xia Ningxing close, she whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Daughter, don’t interact with them too much in the future. Let me tell you, neither of those two sisters are good news, it’s just that one is obviously bad, and the other is insidiously so."

"Ning Mo is the insidious one. Don’t be fooled by her seemingly docile and kind exterior; she’s as cunning as they come and you must guard against her," Mrs. Xia Ning said gravely, fearing that Ning Mo would harbor ill intentions against her.

"I can see that," Xia Ningxing agreed, nodding her head, then she hugged her mother’s arm and smiled: "Don’t worry, mom, your daughter is sharp!"

"Yes, yes, my daughter is the sharpest!" Mrs. Xia Ning said with a gentle face.

Then she asked, "How is the reading coming along?"

"I’ve finished all of these!" Xia Ningxing pointed to the pile of books on the table that looked like a small mountain, and then to her head: "And I have memorized them all here!"

"Amazing!" Mrs. Xia Ning looked at her with eyes full of consolation.

She was indeed her daughter!

Such talent, incredible!

Even better than her!

Mrs. Xia Ning couldn’t be prouder, as if she wished to announce it to the whole world.

Xia Ningxing, flattered by the praise, felt a bit embarrassed, and then, unexpectedly, her stomach growled.

Her face immediately turned embarrassingly red.

Mrs. Xia Ning gently stroked her hair, taking her silky hand: "Hungry, huh? It just so happens I’m a bit hungry too, let’s go eat together."

As soon as the mother-daughter duo stepped out of the Book Pavilion, the disciples inside instantly burst into laughter—

"Did you hear that? Xia Ningxing actually claimed she finished reading all of it and even remembered everything."

"I’m dying from laughter!"

"What an act!"

"Just to please the Family Head, this Xia Ningxing will really say anything!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, let her brag all she wants; we’ll see the truth when it’s time to select a new Family Head!"

"Right, when the time comes, we’ll find out whether it’s a mule or a horse that gets pulled out for a stroll."

The main hall.

Xia Zheng and Mrs. Xia Ning were dining.

The golden wood table was laid with a variety of delicious and delicate dishes.

Xia Ningxing, while eating, said, "Mom, I plan to head back home in a couple of days."

"Can I go with you then?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xia Ning’s eyes immediately lit up as she said, "I’d love to meet my grandson!"

Once people age, they delight in holding their grandsons and granddaughters, such sweet and clever little babies, so endearing to the heart.

"Of course, you can!" Xia Ningxing affirmed with a nod, then added, "It’ll be a good chance to introduce you to everyone, and let them know my new master."

"That would be wonderful!" Although it was just introducing her as a master, even that was enough to send Mrs. Xia Ning into raptures.

Because it signified Xia family’s importance to her, and also that she could visit her daughter’s home any time she wished.

After all, a master is respected for a lifetime, second only to one’s parents in status.

"I need to think carefully about what gift to bring for my grandson," declared Mrs. Xia Ning as she put down her chopsticks, too excited to think about eating.

"Mom, there’s no need to be so formal, no gifts are necessary!" Xia Ningxing politely shook her head.

"How can that be? Isn’t it proper for a grandmother to bring a gift to her newly born grandson!" Mrs. Xia Ning rebutted with certainty in her voice.

Xia Ningxing continued to be polite, "It’s too much trouble."

"Not at all, your mother has plenty of money." Mrs. Xia Ning had the look of someone who frets about having too much money to spend, indicating Xia Ningxing need not worry about being frugal on her behalf.

"Since you insist, then I will accept on Chuanchuan’s behalf with thanks, Grandma!" Seeing her sincere heart, Xia Ningxing could only agree.

However, in her heart: Hahaha! Here comes more money!

Delighted O(∩_∩)O~~

"No need to be so polite!" Mrs. Xia Ning smiled and waved her hand before continuing to ponder what gift to bring for her sweet grandson.

After much thought and not coming up with anything, Mrs. Xia Ning simply decided to pull Xia Ningxing back to the bedroom to choose together after dinner.

Then, Mrs. Xia Ning fetched a chest from beneath the bed.

The chest was adorned with intricate carvings, stunningly beautiful yet conveying a sense of mystery and antiquity.

It was made of some extremely durable material, likely impervious to any form of damage.

What surprised Xia Ningxing was the lock on it.

"This lock..." Xia Ningxing studied it and after much examination, couldn’t help but look up to ask Mrs. Xia Ning, "Mom, could this possibly be a fingerprint lock?"

"Yes! A fingerprint lock it is!" said Mrs. Xia Ning as she pressed her index finger onto the lock.

The next moment, with a "click," the lock on the chest opened.

Mrs. Xia Ning added, "Back in Different Space-time, fingerprint locks were very popular and secure, so I made one for myself."
