Chapter 360 Retention and Gratitude
The child looked like a little kid and sighed, "Why do you all like to touch my head?"
"You guys ruined my hairstyle."
"Do you know that a man's head and a woman's feet cannot be touched?"
"Dong~"
Wen Shaoyang hit the child on the head with his finger, "How can a little brat still be a man?"
The look on his face was quite dumbfounded, "Where did you learn this from?"
"Look at less messy things."
"What, this is an old saying."
The child said angrily, baring his teeth at his brother and trying to look fierce.
"Brat."
Wen Shaoyang tapped the child's head again, "Okay, stop making trouble."
"Come here."
Wen Shaoyang took the child's hand and walked to the restaurant, where Xiao Xiao was sitting quietly.
Seeing a few people coming over, Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly, "If you don't come, the food will be cold."
"Brother Xiao Xiao!"
The child immediately threw away his brother's hand and ran happily to Xiao Xiao's side.
The smile on his face is a bit coquettish and flattering.
He thought brother Xiao Xiao was gone,
……
"Xiaoyuan."
The child's closeness made Xiao Xiao's eyes overflow with a bright smile.
He couldn't help but reached out and touched the child's head.
……
"Xiaoyuan, come and thank Master Xiao."
Wen Shaoyang pulled the child and asked him to formally say thank you to Master Xiao.
"Oh."
The child vaguely understood what Master Xiao had done for him, and it should be a big favor. Therefore, the child did not show any resistance to his brother's words,
He stood obediently in front of Master Xiao, trying hard to keep his face straight so that he looked serious and solemn, "Master Xiao, thank you."
After hearing what his elder brother called Brother Xiao Xiao, the child inexplicably felt that Master Xiao's name was very handsome, so he also called him that.
……
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows strangely at the child's sudden change of name, but he didn't take it seriously.
It's just a title.
He patted the child's head and said, "You're welcome."
His expression was serious, but the smile in his eyes did not weaken at all.
……
The lunch was delicious.
Xiao Xiao was quite satisfied with his meal.
Except for the uneasy Taotie above his head, which made him twitch his eyes.
They had already asked this monster to secretly eat some dishes when others were not around. Although it was only a small taste, they all agreed that Taotie would be content in the future.
As a result, if it weren't for Xiao Xiao's quick eyesight and quick hands, this monster would have pounced on the dishes.
Xiao Xiao knocked on Taotie's forehead as a warning, telling the monster who only saw a table full of food to restrain himself.
"Ouch~"
Taotie screamed in dissatisfaction, but finally lay back down unwillingly.
His expression was violent and somewhat careless.
"Achuan, Wen Shaoyang, I have to say goodbye."
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and decided to take the first step.
The child's recovery obviously prevented Chi Xiuchuan from leaving so early.
However, for him, now that the problem is solved, he has no reason to stay.
"Master Xiao, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, can you stay?" Hearing that Xiao Xiao was leaving, Wen Shaoyang was shocked and hurriedly asked him to stay. If Wen's father and Wen's mother knew that he would let Master Xiao leave like this, he would definitely It's his fault.
This is Xiaoyuan's great benefactor.
"I've already called my parents. They want to thank you in person."
"They'll be back soon."
"So."
Although he hoped that Master Xiao would stay, Wen Shaoyang would not let his attitude appear aggressive.
They want to thank others. What does this gratitude mean if it is mixed with other things?
Seeing Master Xiao's calm expression, Wen Shaoyang continued: "Of course, it doesn't matter if Master Xiao has something to do in the afternoon."
"Then I hope we can make an appointment at Master Xiao's convenience next time. We would like to thank Master Xiao properly."
"Uncle and aunt are too polite."
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.
"In that case, let me disturb you for a while longer."
Now that he knew that Father Wen and Mother Wen were on their way back, Xiao Xiao naturally wanted to stay.
"That's great, Master Xiao."
Wen Shaoyang smiled heartily.
The Wen family is also a high-ranking family in Yanjing. They are not short of power and money.
He was very fond of the fact that Master Xiao had done such a great favor to their family, but had no attitude of "repaying a favor" and remained as lukewarm as when they first met him.
It’s not that their family wants to default on their debt, or that it’s natural for others to help them.
The Wen family is not afraid of others approaching with purpose.
On the contrary, they are more afraid of help that seems to be for nothing.
Because this often represents a larger plot.
However, Master Xiao gave him a different feeling.
He still has confidence in how he sees people.
Achuan had introduced Master Xiao's financial background to him, and he himself had investigated it beforehand.
After all, he is the one who wants to treat his younger brother, so he naturally needs to know the basics before he can rest assured.
What's more, he did this without telling Wen's father and Wen's mother.
He also wanted to be absolutely foolproof.
Master Xiao's ordinary background made him more and more suspicious of this expert's ability.
There is nothing special about my experiences from childhood to adulthood.
How could such a person be the master that Achuan admired so much?
It's just that he doesn't take it seriously anymore. For the sake of his friends, he will give him the face he deserves.
Thinking of his initial contempt, Wen Shaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Are all masters so low-key?
Maybe it’s because of this that great people are hard to find?
An hour later, Wen's father and Wen's mother walked into the door of Wen's house.
"Dad, Mom."
Wen Shaoyang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought it would take at least two or three hours for Wen's father and Wen's mother to get back.
"Dad, Mom."
The child subconsciously hid behind Wen Shaoyang and grabbed his brother's clothes. He looked hesitant and his voice was low.
In response to Father Wen's slap and Mother Wen's tears, the child was still a little frightened and confused.
For a moment, he didn't know how to get close to his parents.
"Xiaoyuan."
Mother Wen felt a pain in her heart when she saw her youngest son, whom she had cared about since he was born, and her youngest son, who had always been the closest and most dependent on her, looking somewhat alienated.
Father Wen naturally saw the faint fear in his youngest son's eyes that were about to leave him, and deep regret arose in his heart again.
He regretted that slap as soon as it was slapped.
It's not the child's fault to have hallucinations. The child has no idea what's happening to him, and he doesn't understand why his father, who always dotes on him, suddenly hits him.
The confused, hurt and wronged look in the child's eyes lingered in Father Wen's mind.
