Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 500 - 306 Offended a big shot!_2

After finishing the fragrant jumbo dumplings, the chef served a few small dishes, and everyone sat together, chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Receiving a voice message from Zhou Yao, filled with high spirits, Xia Ye realized that she had missed her second brother’s segment.

Zhou Zhou’s Marinated Chicken Feet Customer Service 1: Night Treasure! Did you see the godly Xia? He was so cool! Dancing like mad on my livestream! I can’t even! [CryingRun.jpg]

Xia Xing also came to ask her.

FB Team Xia Xing: Little Tiangao, how did big brother do tonight?

Xia Ye furrowed her brows, recalling Zhou Yao’s message, pondered for a long moment, and raised her hand to reply.

Heaven is unseeing: He danced especially well [Heart][Heart]

Xia Xing’s smile stiffened at the corner of his mouth upon receiving the reply.

He was clearly singing tonight... Did he dance as well?

’pang——’

’pang——’

’pang——’

The big shots of the Wealthy District, sent fireworks soaring into the magnificent mirage of Hai City.

Each exploding spark was bona fide money.

Fireworks outside the window burst loudly, drowning out all other sounds. Experiencing the Eve of the Height of Summer for the first time was certainly something.

Although there was no sprinkle of white snow, the cool night breeze made it even more lively outside due to the pleasant weather.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, while thousands of households displayed their festive spirit on the ground.

Vibrant fireworks, accompanied by the sounds of explosions, leapt into the sky, blooming into complex, dazzling forms that dazzled the eyes.

The entire earth was illuminated.

Cook and the others had also prepared fireworks.

Xia Xian: "Little Tiangao, do you want to go outside and set off the fireworks together?"

Xia Ye nodded her head.

When in the human world, one should experience everything.

The villa district’s square was indeed lively; the air held a faint smell of gunpowder, which mixed with the cool summer night breeze, added a unique flavor.

One-Eye lifted a giant skyrocket and launched it skyward. His stance was heroic; sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, he held the fireworks like a rocket launcher.

The fireworks they had prepared were also of a type seldom seen on regular days.

Soon, they attracted the attention of neighbors in the square, becoming the focus of the community.

Xia Ye wanted to set off fireworks herself, but Jiang Xuan held her in front of him, preventing her from going forward. Seeing how much she enjoyed the festive atmosphere, Jiang Xuan smiled lightly, his tone as gentle as that used with a child, "Tell me which one you want to set off, and I’ll help. Don’t do it yourself. It’s dangerous."

"???" Xia Ye’s expression was rather stubborn.

Was he really treating his ancestor as if she were a weak little girl?

In the end, Jiang Xuan still compromised, giving Xia Ye a... sparkler.

Looking at the crackling sparkler in her hand, Xia Ye’s face stretched long with disappointment.

Before she could enjoy it enough, it went out.

"..."

Forget it, when Jiang Xuan wasn’t around, she’d set off fireworks on her own. She’d set off as many as she wanted and even blast herself up to the sky with them tucked in her sleeves!

She asked Jiang Xuan, "Who designed the clothes you gave me?"

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you like it?"

"My mom likes it..." Xia Ye shook the sparkler, making sure it was indeed burnt out, then threw it into a bucket of water nearby. Pausing for a few seconds, she added, "I quite like it too."

After saying this, she glanced at him, saw that he was also looking at her, and quickly averted her gaze.

Jiang Xuan’s eyes curved with a smile, "The designer isn’t easy to book, but if she needs anything, tell her to contact me directly."

"Oh," Xia Ye nodded slightly.

As the fireworks exploded overhead, his smile flickered between light and shadow.

Xia Ye had come to the human world many times to play, sneaking in sometimes, or being sent here as a punishment, but no matter what, she thought this time... was the most fun...

After the New Year’s Eve, it didn’t take long for Xia Xian’s crew to get back to work.

With a big juicy mine like the Diamond Mine sitting there, they definitely needed to dig it up quickly.

Not many days into resuming work, he had already received numerous threats from members of the Wealthy Merchants Association. Those ground owners had clearly aimed to trouble him during the New Year period.

Initially, Xia Xian didn’t pay much attention to them, but they grew presumptuous, finding ways to cause trouble near the Diamond Mine every now and then.

Xia Xian instructed his men to handle it discreetly to avoid disrupting the mining progress. Yet he meticulously noted who was behind these provocations, having them secretly investigated, planning to settle the scores once he was less busy.

Today, the old foxes happened to be having tea at the Wealthy Merchants Association, and when they discussed how they were bothering Xia Xian recently, they each displayed a sinister expression, taking pleasure in their actions.

"Heard that the kid has traced it back to me. So what if he knows I’m behind it? Does he want to threaten me?"

"Exactly, does he think we’d be scared of him? I’d go head-to-head with him anytime! Who doesn’t tremble at the mention of my name at the borders?"

The old foxes boasted with an air of superiority.

The big mustached chairman was also present today, leisurely puffing on a cigar, smiling benignly, "You guys shouldn’t go too far..."
