The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 26: Incoming Call

[Hey, aren't you going to do anything? He must be planning something!]

“If he is so determined to end his life, you can't stop him even if you try.” Gu Xiqiao stuffed one hand into his pocket while the other hand held the paper he had rolled up, he said, walking slowly and quietly as if he was completely unconcerned by what had happened to the oil painting.

Gu Xijin had used his painting to be celebrated on the art scene in his previous life, and was damned if he let it do it again! If he did…

Hm, a phoenix whose fur was plucked out appeared in the mind.

When he returned to the art studio, Gu Xijin had already left, leaving the art studio untouched as if no one had ever entered. Seeing this, Gu Xiqiao grinned and packed up his art equipment to leave, when his phone rang again, and Jiang Shuxuan this time.

“Brother Jiang?” Jiang Shuxuan had yet to return to the mansion after an entire week, so he might encounter something that was hard to crack.

Even the system was unable to scan who the person with that level of red danger was, so they were difficult to deal with and were completely out of their depth. The only thing he could do was pray that Jiang Shuxuan could deal with him quickly and safely.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shuxuan had spoken and quickly guessed that the others were zoned out again, considering he had not responded at all to his words. He was a bit angry but wanted to laugh at the same time, and he was the only person who dared to come out as they talked to him. He raised his voice, “Gu Xiqiao!”

Gu Xiqiao blinked and returned to the real world. “...Say again?”

Jiang Shuxuan rubbed his temple with a sigh, but his attitude became warmer, and patiently repeated what he had just said — Drink the healthy soup that Madam Zhang brews every day, he said, do not eat less than one bowl of rice a day, and drink milk every morning…

Although his tone was firm, his ink-black pupils were tinged with warmth and care.

As he spoke on the phone, another young man was staring at him as if he had seen a ghost.

This young man was the descendant of the Jiang family's servant line and grew up together with Jiang Shuxuan, so he knew the latter's cold personality better than anyone. Even Master Jiang, his father, could do nothing about this personality of his, and Jiang Shuxuan said something so motherly as “Eat on time”, and this young man felt like he was daydreaming.

Gu Xiqiao sounded like the name of a girl, and coupled with the fact that Jiang Shuxuan had delayed his initial plan to return to Jing Capital to deal with the matter for a few days, he said, and that he even had plans to move his operating headquarters to N City .. The young man felt like he had been caught in a dangerous thought.

However, as soon as he thought of all this, Jiang Shuxuan hung up the phone and turned his gaze to the young man, and his back practically bowed due to the pressure, making him immediately stop his thoughts.

He was probably pushing his luck, gossiping about Jiang Shuxuan like that!

The next day, Gu Xiqiao came out with the math paper in hand, first taking a walk downtown, before taking some money from an ATM.

He was invited to eat at Xiao Yun's place, so he thought it was polite to bring gifts for them, but what? He had gotten a basic overview of the condition of the Xiao Yun family in the past few days. Although the other girl looked cold and aloof, but she had a very low reservation after you got to know her, and Gu Xiqiao knew all about her family in some conversations.

His older sister will inherit the family business, and the other family member he has is his sickly grandfather who loves antiques. He did not talk about his parents at all and considered it a sensitive topic to him, Gu Xiqiao did not ask more about them.

After walking around the shopping mall, Gu Xiqiao did not find anything she could give them, so she decided to discuss it with the system spirit.

“I'm not stingy, I just thought, what do you know?” As he spoke, the system issued a mission, and Gu Xiqiao quickly grabbed onto the shoulder of an honest-faced young man who was passing by, and quietly took the wallet that was in his pocket and placed it back into the original owner's bag.

His movements were so fast that even the young man was unable to see all of it happening properly, and he was so frightened by Gu Xiqiao that he wanted to escape immediately, but it was held in place with an iron grip so tight that he could not even let go!

He had been practicing ancient martial arts for the past few days, and he was quite satisfied with his current level of strength, he said, and he did not need to spend points to purchase the status of Master from the system store for now.

He dragged the young man into a corner, and even before he started talking, the young man started crying. “Nona, I have no choice! I will never do it again, so please let me get away! ”

“Why are you crying, are you a boy?” Gu Xiqiao leaned against the wall, amused by his reaction.

The young man immediately stopped crying, looked up without a single tear on his face and asked cautiously, “Are you .. Forgive me?”

“You look like a new SMA, why did you pickpocket like this? If you get caught and sent to the police, it will leave a bad note on your name! People who do not have hands or feet can even sit on the ground with a bowl, and from the looks of it you are not disabled, so why not find a decent job? ”

“... I also don't want to do that.” The young man looked in the opposite direction in embarrassment.

This was his first time doing such a thing and being caught off guard by a girl as well, and if anyone knew this was happening, he would be too embarrassed to live!

Gu Xiqiao stood facing him and grabbed his collar, pulling him closer. “I don't care, just tell me if you're going to do that kind of thing again?”

His gaze was clear and his thin, red lips contrasted with his porcelain skin, and upon seeing this flawless face, his cheeks flushed and turned to look away. “I won't do it again..”

After all he did not do this kind of thing to make a living.

Gu Xiqiao let him go in satisfaction, before taking the money out of his backpack and giving it to him. “The world is not that bad.. Find a good job and be a decent person in the future, okay?”

The young man was dumbfounded, holding the money in his hand foolishly before he grabbed onto Gu Xiqiao's sleeve a second later. “...Total.”

Gu Xiqiao wanted to chase him away, but after seeing his teary eyes, he held his forehead while sighing and gesturing for him to speak.

“Uhm... Can I ask for your phone number to call you next time?”

Gu Xiqiao smiled, patted her sleeve and turned to continue shopping. The young man was about to say something, but when he looked up, he realized that he had already left.

He stood there for a long time, and if not for the cash in his hands, he would have thought it was all just a dream. Where...he?

Gu Xiqiao who had already left the shopping mall used three points to purchase the ginseng root of the system as a gift for grandfather Xiao Yun. What kind of ginseng root was it, which made him lose a lot of points?
