Chapter 334 - 333: Hand Over the Money
Ding Yuejun shook her head at the words, and then said, "Dad, Yiyi and I will go back to our courtyard first."
Hearing this, Old Master Ding nodded and said, "Okay, you two go back to rest. I called Housekeeper Dou over today to let you know what happened back then, and also to repay Housekeeper Dou the last bit of his kindness."
"Okay."
Ding Yuejun nodded and then went back to their courtyard with Yiyi.
"Yiyi, do you think we should thank Housekeeper Dou separately? Although I resent what he did back then, I can’t deny that he did save me back then."
Hearing this from her mother, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "Mom, I think Grandpa will handle everything."
"If that’s the case, then I won’t concern myself with it."
Ding Yuejun decided not to dwell on it anymore and shifted her focus to talk to her daughter about Fei Erya, "When Er Ya’s father arrives in Shangjing, let’s invite them for a meal."
Yiyi smiled and said, "Sure, I’ve already talked to Er Ya. I’ll go visit her tomorrow when I have time."
After Fei Erya’s vacation, she planned to stay in Shangjing to continue tutoring, so she was living in their previous house in Shichahai. Yiyi intended to visit there tomorrow and also check on Guo Ming and Pei Jin, as she hadn’t seen her master for a while.
However, the next day, when Yiyi went there, she didn’t see Fei Erya and went next door instead.
"Master, I’m here to see you."
Seeing Guo Ming there, Yiyi smiled and walked over.
Guo Ming was very happy to see his little apprentice, "Yiyi, your holiday started, right? How come you have time to visit today? I heard from Mo Ping that you’ve been running to the pharmaceutical factory these days."
"The matters at the factory are all settled, Mo Ping will handle the rest, so I came to see you."
Yiyi said with a smile, and then asked about the Yin sect, "Is everything okay with the Yin sect now?"
"Don’t worry, everything is fine. Since I returned, the Yin sect has become more lively."
"That’s good to hear, but what about Pei Jin? I don’t see him around."
Guo Ming smiled knowingly at these words, "He’s going to get married soon, so he’s been busy these days."
Hearing this, Yiyi was full of surprise, "Really? When did this happen? I hadn’t heard a thing before."
"It’s just recent. Once it’s confirmed, I’ll let you know."
Yiyi quickly nodded and then asked about Fei Erya, "Master, did you see Er Ya this morning? I was hoping to chat with her today, but she’s not here."
Speaking of Fei Erya, Guo Ming frowned.
"I saw she’s dating that Fan Qianshu, and he’s quite something. Why did she choose such a person? He came by this morning to see her, and they went out together."
Hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but sigh, "I’ve already talked to Er Ya about Fan Qianshu, but she feels indebted to him. After spending time together, she developed feelings for him, and now they’re dating."
"So you’ve already mentioned it. In that case, we don’t need to say anything more. Everyone has their destiny, maybe Fan Qianshu is perfect for your friend."
"I hope so."
After the master and apprentice finished discussing Fei Erya, they talked about other things.
Meanwhile, Fei Erya was strolling with Fan Qianshu.
"Qianshu, do you think this shirt looks good? I don’t know if my dad will like it." Thinking about her father’s upcoming visit, Fei Erya felt very excited and went out with Fan Qianshu to buy clothes for him.
Fan Qianshu glanced at the black short-sleeved shirt in Fei Erya’s hand, nodded, and said, "It looks great, your father should like it."
Hearing this, Fei Erya planned to buy the shirt immediately.
Naturally, Fan Qianshu paid for it first.
"Qianshu, this is a gift for my father, how can you pay for it?"
Fei Erya insisted, handing the money back to Fan Qianshu, and paid for it herself.
Seeing Fei Erya’s insistence, Fan Qianshu didn’t argue and quietly took back the money.
Seeing this, Fei Erya’s face beamed with a smile, pulling Fan Qianshu along as they continued shopping.
With Fei Erya in such high spirits, Fan Qianshu silently accompanied her, but his expression was a bit indifferent, not too enthusiastic.
After browsing through, Fei Erya didn’t find any other clothes she liked — either too expensive or unattractive styles — so she only bought that one piece.
"Qianshu, let’s just get this much for today and head back."
Hearing this, Fan Qianshu smiled slightly and said, "Sure, we can come back another time when we are free, but it’s getting late now. Let’s have lunch before heading back."
Fei Erya didn’t refuse, and the two headed towards a restaurant at the corner of the street.
But as soon as they stepped out of the mall, a few people approached them head-on.
Fei Erya looked at the group with some confusion, feeling they looked rather menacing. Before she could think more, they rushed directly toward her and Fan Qianshu.
"Ah..."
Fei Erya instinctively cried out, but quickly she couldn’t make a sound as they fiercely surrounded her and Fan Qianshu.
"Hand over the money if you know what’s good for you."
Hearing this, Fei Erya didn’t think much and quickly said, "Okay, we’ll give it all up."
Saying this, she gave Fan Qianshu a look, signaling him not to act impulsively.
However, Fan Qianshu sneered and said, "Are you sure you’re here to rob? Maybe you’re here for our lives." Though these people demanded money, their eyes were unconvincing. The cold, ruthless glances of these people suggested they were experienced in violence, not typical muggers.
At these words, one of the men smirked and said, "Today, we are indeed robbing."
As he spoke, he paid no heed to further dialogue and swung his fist directly at Fan Qianshu.
How could Fan Qianshu just sit still? He swiftly dodged aside, then raised his leg to kick a nearby attacker.
But it seemed these individuals were prepared, evading as Fan Qianshu attempted to strike.
Seeing this, Fan Qianshu’s heart sank; these people seemed to know him well, suggesting a tough fight ahead. With no time for thoughts, he aimed to take them all down and sprung into action.
Fei Erya was surprised by Fan Qianshu’s agile movements.
She hadn’t realized Qianshu was so skilled; she had no idea before. But with so many assailants, there was no time to ponder. She was anxious but knew she could do nothing, hoping at least not to hinder Fan Qianshu.
