Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 90

The arrival of Xiao Mei and Song Jia attracted the attention of everyone in the place, they wanted to know what made these two girls so special that the former patriarch valued them so much.

The two girls walked slowly to the center of the room, each step was elegant and smooth. They were already used to going to high society parties.

"h.e.l.lo, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xiao Ling, I am the middle son of the current patriarch of the Xiao clan "A group of young people approached, the person who was leading the group was Xiao Ling.

"My name is Xiao Mei and she is Song Jia, my bodyguard, we are members of the branch of the Xiao clan. It is a pleasure to meet you too "Xiao Mei introduced herself. Her voice was soft when she spoke those words.

"You must have some ability to make Grandpa speak directly to you. I"m curious about it "Xiao Ling did not hide his objective. This question attracted the attention of everyone at the site, they also wanted to know that answer.

"I apologize for not being able to answer this question, the former patriarch asked us to keep our conversation a secret, for now, he will appear to announce the matter shortly," Xiao Mei said, she wanted to answer Xiao Ling"s question and waited for the old man to talk about it. It will appear shortly.

"I see ... As grandpa decided to make these arrangements, we will follow his words" Xiao Ling did not care about Xiao Mei"s refusal to answer the question, if his grandfather asked to do this, he would listen to the old man"s request.

"Junior Xiao Mei, do you already have someone you like?" A young woman asked she was beautiful, but she didn"t hide the arrogant look in her eyes. She was one of the daughters of someone important in the Xiao clan. For her, no matter how special Xiao Mei and Song Jia were, they were just inferior members of the branch of the Xiao clan.

"Yes, I have." Xiao Mei did not hide this fact. She would never hide the fact that she already had someone in her heart.

"I see… What about your bodyguard? Does she also have one?"A satisfied sparkle appeared in the young woman"s eyes, she liked Xiao Mei"s response. It seems that the young woman liked one of the young people who was attracted to Xiao Mei and Song Jia, and because of jealousy and envy, she tried to find out a few things about Xiao Mei and Song Jia.

"Yes. Song Jia also has someone she likes "Xiao Mei answered for Song Jia, it would be very disrespectful for a bodyguard to speak to a young lady, especially in the eyes of these arrogant young men.

Xiao Mei"s confirmations broke the hearts of some young people at the site, they were attracted by their beauty, but after discovering they already had a man. This left them without hope, but at the same time, jealousy and envy appeared in their hearts. They wanted to know who were the men who managed to steal the hearts of the two girls.

If these young people knew that the two girls belong to the same man, they would go crazy.


Some adults also had some thoughts about trying to attract Xiao Mei to their families, because someone who manages to get the old patriarch"s attention is not an ordinary person. But after they heard that the two girls already had their lovers, these adults put the matter aside and instructed their children to make friends with the two and try not to offend them.

(You two already have a man who likes you, but the things I want, I will always have, and you two will be no exception) That was the thought of some young people at the site, these young people were quite influential within the main clan. Some were children of elders or children of the patriarch.

The party continued peacefully for some time before an old casual dress appeared in the middle of the room. He was the former patriarch.

"I apologize for being late. I was resolving some important matters "The old man spoke casually, he didn"t even need to do that.

"Grandpa, you finally arrived. We are all curious to know what"s going on here "Xiao Ling spoke up excitedly. He was more curious about the two girls than seeing the old man.

"We salute the former patriarch" Everyone in the hall bowed and showed respect to the old man.

"I"m too old for that kind of thing, this kind of party is for young people like you." The old man walked to the front so that everyone could look at them. He waited until everyone looked at him to hear what he had to say.

"I have an important announcement to make tonight. Come here "The old man called Xiao Mei and Song Jia.

"I would like to introduce them to you. Their name is Xiao Mei and Song Jia, starting today, they will be honorary members of the main clan. " The old man spoke casually, but his words were like bombs exploding in the ears of everyone in the room. No one imagined that they would be accepted into the main clan as honorary members.

"Dad, can you tell us the reason for all this?" A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman appeared they were the current patriarch and his wife. The two appeared after hearing that the two girls would be considered honorary members of the clan.

If it were a normal situation, the two of them would not care. Since normally, only powerful people had the chance to become honorary members. But now, the former patriarch was putting two young girls into it. How could he not be curious about this fact? The current patriarch has yet to hear the news about Liu Yang. Only the old people of the previous generation knew a few things about the Liu couple"s past.

"Well… I cannot openly discuss this matter with you. Xiao Jiang, you show up at my office to discuss this later, this is extremely important. " The old man did not explain the situation, but from the way he spoke, the matter was extremely important.

"I follow the orders of the former patriarch" Xiao Jiang understood that the matter was much more serious than he imagined.

"Today"s party is just that, you can have fun for the rest of the night. You two can feel at home, no one will intimidate you within the clan. So you don"t need to talk to that d.a.m.n old woman about this, okay?" The old man jokes. He was showing everyone that Xiao Mei and Song Jia were under his protection. This will prevent the two from being hara.s.sed.

The old man"s casual and playful words left everyone in the hall with solemn faces. Despite the casual way, everyone understood that if someone tried to intimidate the two girls, these people would be severely punished. Even young Xiao Ling was serious when he heard his grandfather"s words, he realized that the two girls were very important.

(d.a.m.n old woman ?? Is this person related to the two girls ?? Who is this person ??) The people of the younger generation didn"t know who was the d.a.m.n old woman, the old man was referring to, but the previous generation and those who had more than fifty years knew about it.

Young people who had the thought of taking Xiao Mei and Song Jia by force, they immediately removed that thought from their minds, as the former patriarch showed that the two girls were under his protection. But there were still some fearless young men who still wanted to try to do that. The temptation for a forbidden fruit was very great.

(Is this d.a.m.n old woman referring to this "person" ?? If this is true, it can show how considerate the old patriarch is with these two girls. They seem to be the granddaughter of that old woman intimidator) Only one person appeared in the mind of the old people when the former patriarch spoke the words d.a.m.n old woman, they immediately remembered Xiao Mei"s grandmother.

At the same time, those who were intimidated by the old woman in the past felt a chill down their spine. When they remembered the things that happened in the past.

The only person who didn"t think that was Xiao Jiang, he knew his father very well, he wouldn"t do something like that without giving much importance to the clan. It just showed that the two girls can help the Xiao clan a lot.

As the former patriarch already made his announcement, he left, then the two girls also left. As the two guests of honor left, the others also started to leave.

The room of the former patriarch of the Xiao clan was in the main mansion, the room was on the top floor. The entire floor was the old man"s room.

The interior was common, there were only chairs, tables and bookcases. The former patriarch and the current patriarch of the Xiao clan were sitting face to face drinking tea.

"Xiao Jiang, I"ll get to the point. How was the negotiation with the other clans? " The old man asked casually, he already had a vague idea of ​​what had happened.

"They made deals with us, but for some reason, they wanted to give priority to one of our branches in the east of the country ..." Xiao Jiang started to speak but stopped suddenly.

(Branch ?? Those two girls are not from a branch of the Xiao clan ?? Does that mean…) That was the thought of Xiao Jiang that popped into his mind when he talked about it. Xiao Jiang finally realized some things after thinking for a while.

(What did these two girls do to attract so much attention from the other clans ??) This was something that Xiao Jiang didn"t know yet.

"Xiao Jiang, did you notice now?"

"Yes. Dad, what"s so special about these two girls? "

"Read this" The old man waved his hand and a folder appeared on the table. The words "TOP SECRET" were written on the front.

Looking at the folder, Xiao Jiang became serious, he understood that what he was about to see was a big secret.

Reading the papers, Xiao Jiang was startled and shocked. Thousands of different thoughts popped into his mind about what he was reading. Xiao Jiang was smart and managed to notice a few things.

"Dad, this young man named Liu Yang, is he the lover of these girls?" Xiao Jiang asked with a solemn face.

"Yes."

"I will have to warn my children not to do anything wrong" Xiao Jiang understood his children"s personalities, especially the middle one, Xiao Ling.

"Son, as the current patriarch of the Xiao clan, I hope you will take care of the clan in the best possible way. If any member hurts those girls, you should know the consequences "

"Dad, this son understands the situation. Dad, that girl called Xiao Mei, is she the granddaughter of that woman? "

"Yes."

"Okay, I"ll take care of this matter"

"Son, you need to remember not to spread the subjects you heard or saw today to anyone, not even your wife or children. This is an extremely serious matter "

"This son understands the gravity of the situation and I will do my best to prevent the two girls from being bullied"

"It is good that you understand. I will go back to my hut. Until some other day "

"Until another day"

The old man disappeared from the room. Xiao Jiang waited for a little before sighing.

"It looks like I"m going to have a lot of work ahead of me." Xiao Jiang left shortly thereafter.
