Xing thought for a moment and suggested, "Uncle, there are hot springs in the back mountains. Master said that soaking in hot springs can relieve stress on the body. I'll take you to soak for a while....I waited here all morning just for this
Fu Lingxiao lowered his gaze to look at the little girl. The fine wounds on her small face had already healed, returning to their clean and fair appearance. She was no longer a "flower face," but her ankle was still noticeably swollen, with blue and purple bruises still visible.
Lifting his gaze, he said, "Where are your hands"
Mu Xing immediately stretched out her small hand, on the fleshy palm, the skin where the blisters rubbed was almost healed.
The recovery of the skin injury is indeed good.
Wu Guantao also said that the little girl has been very well-behaved these days, not going downstairs for three days, and she is keeping her word.
"Here's an extra ten thousand."
"My current salary is 70,000 yuan, right" Mu Xing confirmed.
Fu Lingxiao nodded, "En."
"Yay! That's great!"
Mu Xing was so happy she almost jumped up. Then she suddenly remembered what her little uncle had mentioned about starting school a few days ago, and eagerly asked, "So, Uncle, when do I start going to school"
Fu Lingxiao put one hand in his trouser pocket, staring at her intently. "Your foot hasn't recovered yet, so you want to go to school"
"Recovered!"
To reassure him, she jumped a few times and said, "Look, Little Uncle, I'm fine now."
"Don't jump." Fu Lingxiao reached out and covered the little girl's head, holding her down.
"Uncle…"
Mu Xing tugged at the man's sleeve, swaying gently. Her big, bright eyes looked at him pitifully, "I'm really better now, just let me go to school."
The man retracted his hand, raising an eyebrow, "Is that all it takes to want to go to school"
"Mhm."
Mu Xing nodded repeatedly. Her little uncle hired her because she was attending school, and she could only get paid to work if she went to school.
Fu Lingxiao pursed his lips, looked at the little girl, his eyes deep. After a moment, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send you to school tomorrow."
"Thank you, uncle!"
After breakfast, Fu Lingxiao went to the company. Mu Xing immediately looked for Butler Wu, "Uncle Butler, where is the storeroom I'm going to cut stones."
Wu Guanjia brought Mu Xing to the storage room and hesitated, "Would you like me to find someone to help you cut it together"
Mu Xing smiled and refused, "No need, no need, I can handle it myself."
After finishing his words, he rolled up his sleeves and started working right away.
She's going to cut the stones today and take them to school tomorrow. She can carve seals when she's bored to pass the time.
When He Chao walked into the storeroom, Mu Xing was sitting on the dusty floor, intently cutting stone.
The cutting machine whirred, and sunlight streamed through the window. The dust it kicked up bathed her in a halo, like an ethereal being crafted from light itself.
He Chao stood there, quietly watching her until the little girl noticed him.
"Brother Ah Chao, how did you come here!"
Mu Xing turned off the cutting machine and looked at He Chao. Her beautiful big eyes were especially bright and clear in the dust.
He Chao smiled gently and walked towards Mu Xing, "I came to see you. Mr. Fu said that you're going to school tomorrow."
"Yes."
Mu Xing raised a smile, his long eyelashes still dusted with grime, "My little uncle hired me to go to school. One month's worth is enough to pay off ten thousand in debt!"
Thinking back to having her wages cut the other day, she muttered, "Oh, no, now there's only seven million left."
Fu Lingxiao hired her to go to school
Are you sure this is debt repayment
Ge Chao didn't understand Fu Lingxiao's intentions for now, but based on what he had seen and heard in the past few days, he could confirm that Fu Lingxiao treated Mu Xing very well, so well that it was completely unlike the Fu Lingxiao he knew before.
Cold, sharp, and ruthless, all vanished before Mu Xing.
Only gentleness and patience remain.
To be favored by such a powerful and terrifying man, his sister, how fortunate she is.
He Chao stood before Mu Xing, lowering his head to look at her, "Study hard, Mu Xing. I'll investigate the truth behind the fire at your family's house."
"Thank you, Brother Achao. Actually, the reason I came down the mountain this time is to investigate what happened back then. But I'm telling you this not because I want you to help me look into it."
A rare seriousness appeared on Mu Xingxue's delicate face, "This is my own business, I don't want to involve others, especially Brother Achang."
He Chao raised his hand to push up his glasses and slowly said, "I know, but since you call me brother, I can't just sit idly by. Besides, Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu have been so good to me, I must do something for them, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest easy."
"Ah Chao gege..."
Mu Xing looked up at He Chao, her eyes sparkling, her gaze wet.
He took out a mask and handed it to her, "Put on the mask before you cut. There's something happening at the hospital, I have to go back now. If anything happens, just contact me."
"Let's go."
Rubbing Mu Xing's little head, He Chao turned and left.
"Goodbye, Ah-Chao brother."
As He Chao left, Mu Xing adjusted her emotions, put on a mask, and continued to cut stones.
During lunchtime, Wu Guanjia went to call Mu Xing for a meal and heard a melodious laughter coming from the storage room.
Then, a little man covered in dust ran out from inside, holding a stone that had been cut open to reveal a slice of dough: “Uncle Butler! I’ve hit jade as white as mutton fat!”
Wu Guantao had some knowledge of jade. He took the stone, glanced at it, and immediately confirmed that it was indeed mutton fat jade.
It looks like a piece of fresh lard, white and smooth, with a dense structure and no impurities.
Sheepfat jade is the best among Hetian jade, and this piece of sheepfat jade belongs to the best among sheepfat jade.
He smiled and returned the stone to Mu Xing, "Our little Mu Xing is so lucky."
This kind of top-grade mutton fat jade is rare on the market.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to bloom with sheep fat jade either, this time we made a killing!"
Mu Xing wore a mask, her smiling eyes narrowed into slits, "Butler Uncle, I'll continue cutting. Who knows, I might still be able to open up a good jade."
Wu Guanjia grabbed her arm, "Eat first."
The sight of the sheep fat white jade greatly encouraged Mu Xing. After finishing his meal, he put on his mask and dove back into the storage room headfirst.
Five hours later, she finally finished cutting all the remaining stones. She counted them, besides the piece of mutton fat jade from noon, there were seven more pieces of high-quality Hetian jade!
"Developed! Developed!"
Fu Lingxiao stepped into the room and saw a little pink figure running out of the storage room with a pile of stones in her arms, cheering all the way. As she walked, pink dust drifted down behind her, winding its way along the floor.
As she passed him, the little girl suddenly slammed on her brakes and grinned at him, saying, “Uncle, I’ve made it!”
Her pale little face had a mark left by a mask, which looked strangely amusing.
Fu Lingxiao's lips curled into a faint arc, "How developed Tell me about it."
Mu Xing held the stone in her arms and gently lifted it, her eyes curved into a smile. "Uncle, look, I found this stone on the mountain, and when I opened it, there was so much jade inside!"r so hard before!"You're afraid of pain yet you dare to drink." Fu Lingxiao softened his grip. "If you ever get drunk outside one day and are taken away by bad people, it won't just be this amount of...
