I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 556 - 565: Really Think You’re a Big Deal

Everyone was astonished. The items Nan Jin had bought must have cost a pretty penny, just those bags upon bags of apples and oranges alone must have been quite expensive.

Not to mention the other meats—pork, beef, and lamb—as well as chicken, ducks, and fish. It was practically enough to host a banquet.

Bai Ming furrowed his brows as he looked at the plethora of goods.

"Nan Jin, you’ve brought too much."

Such a bounty couldn’t be had for a few hundred yuan, perhaps even more.

Nan Jin distributed a pack of cigarettes to each person.

"Uncle, what you’re saying... In past years, thanks to everyone’s care, I was able to make it to today. Now, I simply want to buy some things to celebrate the New Year with everyone. Please don’t refuse, I’m also a part of Bai Family Village."

Nan Jin spoke earnestly, and at the height of emotion, he even wiped his eyes. Whether there were tears or not didn’t matter; he just needed to move everyone, including himself.

Did the villagers feel moved? They just thought Nan Jin was a decent person who hadn’t forgotten his roots.

In the end, everyone accepted, and Bai Ming didn’t say much.

During the cooking, the atmosphere was bustling with warmth, as everyone engaged Nan Jin in conversation, truly treating him as one of their own.

Watching this scene, Bai Ming suddenly understood, could it be that Nan Jin was planning to live here in the future?

"Ah Xiu, I might not be able to celebrate the New Year with you."

During the times Ye Xiu was helping out, Nan Jin, along with Nan Xi, sought her out.

Ye Xiu was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"Didn’t you say you’d celebrate the New Year with everyone?"

Nan Jin lowered his eyes, displaying profound disappointment mixed with deep distress.

"I do want to celebrate with you all, but my mother has asked me to return immediately because she’s fallen ill. However, my family is quite complicated, full of scheming and rivalry. I’m worried that if I bring Nan Xi back, she might be plotted against without even realizing it. So, could I ask you to take care of her for a few more days?"

Nan Jin looked at Ye Xiu with caution, as if he was very concerned about her opinion.

Ye Xiu was reluctant. Now, looking at Nan Xi, she still couldn’t face her.

Because of her, Xingxing had suffered so much. Even though Bai Da was worthless, was Nan Xi innocent? Her pitiable appearance masked an implicit accusation against Xingxing.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t want to take care of her. Nan Jin, we are friends, but because of your daughter, I neglected my own. I can’t bear to face her every day, let alone be kind to her. So instead of asking me, why don’t you find someone else to take care of her? You can do it, right?"

Ye Xiu was speaking the truth. Nan Jin could even hire a nanny to cook for her, so taking care of her should be perfectly normal.

"Ah Xiu, I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult position. It’s true I could hire a nanny, but with the New Year coming up, I’m not at ease."

Nan Jin shot Nan Xi a glare, that girl who didn’t know when to speak up.

"You don’t have to do anything special, just make sure she has food and drink, and let her stay at home on her own."

At that moment, Nan Xi’s tears almost spilled over, and she looked as if she was about to kneel when Ye Xiu quickly grabbed her.

"What now, you want to kneel and force me to agree?"

Ye Xiu’s face darkened. This Nan Xi always resorted to the same tactic, never learning to change her approach.

Was this meant to pressure her?

Nan Jin’s face darkened too. "Nan Xi, what are you trying to do? Do you even realize what you’re doing?"

An idiot with no brains, he had already made it clear. Did she not know how to speak properly? Did she really think she was indispensable?
