366 Equal IQ
“… This…”
Seeing his granddaughter’s terrified expression and her mouth wide open but unable to make a sound, Elder Cheng immediately panicked.
He quickly stood up and looked at Qin Xi with a troubled expression. “Miss Qin, I’m really sorry. My granddaughter is impudent. I apologize to you on her behalf. Can you be magnanimous and forgive her this time? I guarantee that if she dares to be disrespectful to you again, I’ll punish her.”
Gu Qing had always known that Qin Xi was very mysterious, but he didn’t expect her to have such a trick up her sleeve. He was shocked and a little frustrated, as if the distance between him and Qin Xi was getting wider and wider.
Although he was also dissatisfied with Cheng Rongfei, he did not want to fall out with the Cheng family. He could only look at Qin Xi, hoping that she would let this matter go for his sake.
However, he seemed to have forgotten something. He was the one who wanted to bring Qin Xi here. Now, Qin Xi was humiliated time and time again because of him, but he still hoped that Qin Xi could be more magnanimous.
Qin Xi was disappointed with Gu Qing.
Fortunately, it was not like she did not gain anything today. A set of silver needles made of meteorite and a bronze mirror were enough to put her in a good mood.
She raised her chin and said coldly, “I can pretend that this didn’t happen, but it’s still necessary to punish her. Let her be mute for a month first. After that, she’ll slowly get better.”
With that, she did not look at Cheng Rongfei’s aggrieved and hateful eyes. She turned to look at Elder Cheng. “Take out the Jade pendant on you. I’ll cast an Exorcism Talisman on it. You only need to wear it for three to five days before the evil aura in your body will completely disappear.”
“Oh, okay!”
When Elder Cheng heard that Qin Xi wasn’t going to pursue this matter, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. His granddaughter had been spoiled by him. It might not be too bad for her to learn a lesson.
He took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Qin Xi. Qin Xi scratched on it before returning it to Elder Cheng. Elder Cheng immediately felt an indescribable feeling when he touched the jade. It felt a little warmer than before. He did not know if he was overthinking.
“Alright, I’ll take this bronze mirror too. Do you mind, Elder Cheng?”
Qin Xi did not stand on ceremony with Elder Cheng. As a master, she was already very magnanimous not to take his granddaughter’s life after being scolded twice. Taking away a harmful bronze mirror was nothing. Besides, Qin Xi was the one who saved Elder Cheng’s life, so he had nothing to say.
However, no one noticed how vicious Cheng Rongfei’s gaze was.
After leaving Elder Cheng’s shop, Qin Xi suggested going back. Now that she had silver needles and had prepared a birthday gift for Grandma Xia, she was in a good mood.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Gu Qing wanted to ask her about the jade pendant. He looked at the time and said, “Qin Xi, it’s getting late. You must be hungry. I know a good restaurant nearby. Why don’t we go and try it?”
Qin Xi shook her head and laughed. “Gu Qing, have you forgotten our current situation? The boss of the Treasure Gathering Hall is still waiting for me. Do you think I have time to eat with you?”
Gu Qing’s face stiffened. Only then did he remember that there were people following them. He tensed up again and said in a low voice, “I remember there’s a public security station over there. Let’s go and call the police!”
Qin Xi held her forehead helplessly. Previously, she thought that Gu Qing was a dean and that his IQ couldn’t be too low. Now, she felt that his IQ was on par with Cheng Rongfei’s. Did he exchange his IQ for his looks?
“Have you ever thought about why the police didn’t show up when Song Dabao was hitting those siblings?”
