Chapter 665 - 665 Incident (4)

665 Incident (4)
As Tian Li listened to Shen Miao’s words, many things flashed across his mind. The disdainful and disgusted look on Chang Zaiqing’s face when she looked at him, and the endless gossip surrounding him after she ran away. He would sometimes see Huai Sheng sitting in a corner, weeping… If one day, he could change his life and give Huai Sheng a good life like those rich people… Tian Li suddenly looked up and made up his mind. He said, “I’ll do it! I promise you that I’ll listen to you. However, you have to give me enough money to live a good life!”
Shen Miao raised an eyebrow. She did not expect it to be so easy. Tian Li was not difficult to convince. Perhaps it was because of Huai Sheng, although this man was not capable and had an awful temperament, he still cared about his son.
“I’ll give you the money.” It was Xie Jingxing who spoke. He stood in the shadows and leaned against the door, saying lazily, “Don’t have any other thoughts. Otherwise…”
Tian Li suddenly trembled and quickly lowered his head. He said in fear, “I don’t dare!” For some reason, facing this man made him feel an indescribable fear. Even though the person who spoke all this while was the woman in a mask, the purple-clothed man’s aura was pervasive in the tiny room.
Shen Miao glanced at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing was quite useful. If she wanted to intimidate someone, she just had to bring Xie Jingxing along, and most people would be scared out of their wits.
When Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao left the room, Huai Sheng came over and looked at Shen Miao. He asked timidly, “Can you find my mother?”
Shen Miao looked at Huai Sheng and said with her eyes cast down, “Sleep early.” Then, she walked out.
Xie Jingxing followed her out of the alley in the east of the city and into the street outside. Xie Jingxing saw Shen Miao’s expression and said, “Do you feel sorry for that child?”
“Even so, I still have to do it.” Shen Miao said, “I’m a selfish person.”
“You did the right thing.” Xie Jingxing said casually, “You’re not a kind-hearted buddha.”
He used what Shen Miao said to Tian Li to comfort her. Shen Miao glanced at him and said, “You are.”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“You escorted me all the way here in the middle of the night and helped me threaten Tian Li into agreeing. You’re a buddha. Otherwise, why would you be so kind?”
Xie Jingxing chuckled and said, “You don’t seem to appreciate it at all.”
The corners of Shen Miao’s lips slowly curled up. Her relationship with Xie Jingxing was gradually changing without her knowing. She did not have to hide anything from him because nothing got past him. She felt that there were many things she didn’t have to do alone anymore.
“Do you need my help with Chang Zaiqing?” Xie Jingxing said lazily, “If you beg me for help, I might.”
“Don’t bother, Prince Rui.” Shen Miao smiled. “Save yourself the trouble.”
“You have a good idea again?” Xie Jingxing glanced at her and said with a faint smile, “Sometimes, I wonder when there will be a problem in the world that you can’t solve. Probably at that time, you’ll beg me for help.”
“Probably not,” Shen Miao replied.
