Chapter 247 Murong Xuechuan
The middle-aged man patted his face, and after sobering up a bit, he stared at Qiongqi suspiciously. "Apart from the color of your eyes, you don't look like that little fox at all."
Qiongqi chuckled dryly, "Hahaha, you must have misremembered, right? Even I'm confused by such a long list of generations, it's normal to make a mistake."
His purple eyes darted around, and under the table, he subtly kicked the two children and the beast, signaling them to be ready to run away at any moment.
The middle-aged man scratched his head. "If I remember correctly, you are the younger brother of the mother of the granddaughter of the groom's uncle's son's uncle, which means you are his cousin."
The three ferocious beasts were dumbfounded!
Although I didn't remember the order of seniority from before, this part sounds familiar, and it seems, perhaps... to be correct?
"Ahem, umm! I'm not quite sure either. I've never been clear about the family hierarchy."
Qiongqi continued to forcefully explain and deceive the other party, while cursing inwardly, "How did a casual thought of mine end up lowering my generation?"
The situation was precarious, and the middle-aged man's gaze gradually turned to suspicion, making the atmosphere at the dinner table extremely tense.
Qiong Xiaoqi and Tao Xiaowu exchanged a glance and sped up their eating, even taking some with them as they ran away.
"Then I'll call him over and ask him." The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Meimei, are you there? Come here for a second!"
A fox in the distance, who was pouring wine for someone, was startled. In its distraction, it accidentally spilled the wine on the table.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Uncle, let me pour you another cup."
"No need, go over there and see, someone's calling you." The black claw casually placed the trident on the table and then picked up a wine glass.
……
corner.
Qiongqi turned its head to look at the guy running towards it. He had bright orange fur and four black paws. When he raised his head, his purple eyes really did look somewhat similar to Qiongqi's.
"Coming, coming. What can I do for you?"
The middle-aged man pointed at Qiongqi and said, "Look, he said he's the younger brother of the mother of the granddaughter of the groom's uncle's son's uncle. I thought, isn't that you? So I called you over."
The fox, nicknamed Meimei, was completely bewildered. "Huh? Please say it again, I don't remember."
Seeing his bewildered expression, Qiongqi felt embarrassed.
Taotie finally couldn't hold back its urge to complain and rolled its eyes, "Your memory is really good, you remember it so well."
Meimei glanced at the three murderers, then suddenly clapped her hands together and pointed at them, "Wait a minute, isn't that just a lie? Who remembers seniority like that!"
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi grabbed the two small ferocious beasts with a single paw and ran off, smashing through the crowd and causing gasps of surprise. The middle-aged man, who had just stood up and was about to speak, was abruptly silenced, his open mouth frozen in place.
Meimei looked completely bewildered and didn't understand what had happened.
At that moment, a wild laugh echoed from afar, "Hahahaha, you won't catch me!"
"Who's going to arrest you?! We were having a really good chat, and I was even thinking of taking over the case!" The middle-aged man angrily slammed his wine glass down, making a loud crash on the table.
Is this guy out of his mind? He must have come from a comedy comic!
Meimei consciously came up and filled his cup. "Sigh, there's nothing I can do about people like this. It was my oversight and my bluntness that scared them away. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." The middle-aged man plopped down and took a swig of wine in frustration. Then he looked up and froze.
Qiongqi, who had just fled, slowly retreated, his head still covered in cold sweat. He was carrying two small ones in his hands. Qiongqi's eyes widened, and Taotie swallowed hard.
Looking further ahead, they saw Xiaohang, who resembled a demon, holding a trident and looking hostile.
Where are you going?
"Gudong."
Qiongqi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he forced a calm smile as he said, "Ah, producer, you're here too? I... I just realized I'd gone to the wrong place and was about to leave."
"Uncle, what you just shouted didn't sound like you'd gone to the wrong place at all," Taotie complained.
The claws tightened around the scruff of the neck, causing the two small, ferocious beasts to gasp. Qiongqi involuntarily tightened its grip, its smile twitching uncontrollably.
I might as well strangle you! How could a Taotie give birth to such a thing?!
"Father, Father! He's the one who said it, please don't pinch me, the innocent, weak, and pitiful one!" Poor Xiaoqi's little arms and legs thrashed about in pain from the undeserved misfortune.
Xiaohang glanced at them as they put away their tridents. The strongman said calmly, "Since you're here, please have a seat."
The poor wife put down her two young children, pinched her son's mouth, and nodded awkwardly, "Ah, okay, okay."
Now, even if the monk can run away, the temple can't.
Shortly after……
Meimei enthusiastically poured wine and juice for the three ferocious beasts that had returned to their original forms, the liquids making a pleasant sound as they collided in the ceramic cups.
"So you are the ferocious beasts. I've heard your legends since I was a child. My parents used your names to scare me a lot. Today I've finally met you in person."
Qiongqi flicked its tail, picked up its wine glass, and coughed lightly. It hadn't expected this little fox to be so eloquent. "Ahem, it's all just empty fame."
Taotie rolled his eyes, and the next moment Qiong Xiaoqi rushed up and covered his face. "I beg you, stop talking, brother. Can we eat in peace?"
He lowered his voice and whispered, "You know my dad is petty. You're going back to your aunt's house after you've finished talking to him, don't drag me into this!"
"So you guys just came here to freeload?" Xiaohang asked as he sat down on the other side.
Qiongqi opened his mouth, and faced the producer's gaze for a full minute! Finally, with a pained expression, he took out a red envelope, removed the newspaper inside, and stuffed 200 yuan into it.
Xiaohang reached out and grabbed the red envelope, but couldn't pull it out. He tried again, and the 200 yuan slipped away from Qiongqi's heartbroken gaze.
"Don't look at me like that. You three divine beasts will definitely get your money's worth. The dowry money was probably paid with newspapers, which wasn't appropriate, was it?"
“The producer is right…” Qiongqi felt a wave of suffocation and instinctively clutched his chest.
Xiaohang pulled Meimei, who was waiting, over and introduced her, "Come on, let's get to know each other. He's my relative's child, and I'm planning to get him a job on the film set."
Meimei gave a perfectly timed smile. "Hello, I'm Murong Xuechuan. You can call me Meimei."
Qiongqi's eyes were unfocused, and a lot of words went in one ear and out the other, but the two little ferocious beasts immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"relative?!"
How could a demonic creature have a fox relative?
They then looked at the middle-aged man who had been seated at another table.
And this mud-covered person with impeccable credentials is also a relative? Is this... a case of the devil cheating, or the fox having an affair?!
……
The next day was the weekend.
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window, but Puss in Boots, who had been lying in bed, was eventually woken up by a ringing phone.
"Hello... who is this?"
"Puss in Boots, let's have lunch together this afternoon."
She groggily reached for her phone on the bedside table, and the voice on the other end instantly snapped her awake.
Did I hear that right? Having dinner together? Has this stingy producer changed his ways?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Hmm...you're treating?" Puss in Boots probed.
"Yes, it's my treat."
This is even more strange; they're treating instead of splitting the bill!
"You invited me to dinner... is there something you need?"
"Well, I'll tell you about that later."
Why do we have to wait until later to talk about it?!
Puss in Boots felt a chill run down her spine. As a director, her mind instantly conjured up a gigabyte of plot details, only to have it immediately overturned by her own interpretation.
No, judging from her tone, it definitely wasn't that kind of thing. She couldn't believe Xiaohang would do it for that reason, she swore on her weight!
the other side.
Xiaohang hung up the phone and looked at his sister, who was rubbing her hands together obediently. "The director has finished informing her. I'll call the investors now. If you can convince one of them, there won't be any problem getting her into the crew."
"Okay! Thank you so much, Uncle. You've worked so hard. I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I make some money."
"No need to be so polite." Xiaohang couldn't help but smile as he dialed the number.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!"
Bai Jie, who was also sleeping in on the weekend, was woken up by the urgent ringing of the alarm clock. He tried to get up, but was immediately sealed back into bed by the blanket.
After struggling for a moment, a paw reached out, and he crawled two steps with difficulty to pick up the phone. "Hello...who is it?"
“It’s me…” Xiaohang paused for a moment, then a blue figure flashed through his mind as he cautiously asked, “Is your brother nearby?”
"Huh? He's not here..." Bai Jie glanced around the room in confusion, just as the guest room door opened.
"I see. Bai Jie, I'm planning to invite you and Puss in Boots to dinner."
"Have a meal?"
"Why!?"
Xiaohang heard a gasp and his phone fell into Bie Shou's hands. Then, the voice of Tianlu, which he least wanted to hear, rang out.
"Want to eat? Sure, sure! When and where?"
It's over,
Xiaohang's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone. His face looked extremely grim.
With this guy joining the meal, it'll easily cost over ten thousand yuan.
