NovelEnglishChapter 658: Pen Spirit, Pulling In Clients
Looking at her aunt’s pensive expression, Jiang Xue was really afraid that she would send money to those swindlers. She hurriedly said, “Aunt, on no account should you go look for some charlatan. They’re all swindlers. Uncle has already paid a lot of money to hire experts from M country. Foreign experts are definitely more capable than our local experts. Aunt, who knows, Shuyi might wake up in a few days.”
Chen Meilin’s expression softened a bit when she heard Jiang Xue’s last sentence, and she sighed softly. “I hope so.” For the time being, however, she gave up on the idea of finding a Celestial Master to take a look.
“Auntie, is your daughter really tainted by something dirty?”

“Little kid, what are you talking about?” On the side, Jiang Xue frowned.
Lin Haoxing looked at the hostile Jiang Xue and hurriedly waved his hand and said in a childish voice, “Sister, Auntie, I mean no harm.”
He turned his head and said seriously to Chen Meilin, “Auntie, when I was young, I often saw those scary, dirty things. My parents and grandfather couldn’t see them, and they thought I was sick. They ran around to many hospitals and couldn’t cure me.”
Lin Haoxing looked up with his fair little face and seemed to empathize with the woman. “Fortunately, I ran into Sister Shuyan. With her talismans and magic weapons protecting me, those dirty things can’t get close.”
“Really?” Chen Meilin looked at the young but eloquent child in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately asked with interest, “Little kid, who is your Sister Shuyan? Can you introduce her to me?”
“Aunt —” Jiang Xue glared unkindly at the child in front of her, thinking to herself that he must have heard her talking to her aunt just now and so lay in wait here. You really couldn’t judge a book by its cover. Were swindlers so young these days? They even dared to buy first-class tickets? To think that her aunt was unlucky enough to actually run into such a swindler.
“Yes, yes, Sister Shuyan is awesome.” Lin Haoxing nodded profusely. He was very excited about being able to help people on the plane and pull in clients for Sister Shuyan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Jiang Xue heard that he had an accomplice, she immediately frowned and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes when she saw that her aunt and this little swindler were about to come to an agreement. She glanced at the little swindler and noticed the jade pendant around his neck. Hurriedly covering up the hostility in her eyes, she revealed a smile and coaxed softly, “Little friend, my aunt and I happen to have an urgent matter today. Didn’t you say that Sister Shuyan’s talismans and magic weapons are very useful? Why don’t you sell us a few talismans first, or let us try with this jade artifact on you first? Leave a phone number, and we’ll contact you later, okay?”
Lin Haoxing was stumped for a moment. He scratched the back of his head, blinked his eyes, and said somewhat hesitantly, “But I’ve just about used up all the talismans and magic weapons Sister Shuyan gave me. I only have this jade artifact and five Safety Talismans left.”
He was telling the truth, but in Jiang Xue’s eyes, this was just an excuse, and she mistakenly thought that he was deliberately trying to raise the price of the magic weapons and talismans. Sure enough, when Jiang Xue heard that a talisman cost 50,000 yuan, her eyes flashed and the disgust in them grew.
“Hey, little brother, since magic weapons and talismans are so magical, isn’t it enough for you to have one?”
In the end, Lin Haoxing couldn’t dissuade Jiang Xue, so he handed the only five talismans in his small school bag to Chen Meilin with a pained expression, and Jiang Xue snatched them away.
When Jiang Xue saw the reluctance on Lin Haoxing’s face, a trace of derision flashed across her face. What was there to feel sorry about with these few rotten pieces of paper? They were really capable of doing anything for money. She wouldn’t be this polite if her aunt wasn’t here. Just as Chen Meilin was about to pay with the cash she had on hand, Jiang Xue hurriedly blocked her and smiled considerately. “Aunt, it’s not convenient for this child to take so much money. It’s easy to lose it.”
As she spoke, she took out a card from her bag and smiled faintly. “I happen to have a card here, which contains exactly 250,000 yuan.”
