Chapter 497: 305 The Mysterious Designer That Makes Gentle Moms’ Hearts Flutter!_2
Xia Xian listened with awe, proud to have such ancestors.
But in Xia Ye’s memory, it was just a small effort.
That time, a few good meals the officer bought her were enough to even things out, she thought.
Jiang Xuan didn’t talk much; while listening, he helped the little girl count how many rules she had broken according to what Pus had described.
He didn’t punish her, just counted.
Both parties weren’t familiar, but the meal went very harmoniously.
Tokta said he wanted to open a dedicated mahjong room in Golar too. Once you start playing, it’s incredibly addictive.
Next year, it’s definitely going to be a hit in the Wealthy District.
Xia Ye laughed and replied, "That sounds like a great idea."
Her laugh was carefree, shaking Tokta who had just mastered using chopsticks. The piece of meat he was holding fell straight onto the table.
Quite embarrassing.
Xia Xian, who keenly caught this scene, wondered...
Their Little Tiangao was only 19 years old, why were these ’old men’ always thinking about her?
After dinner, Xia Xian saw them off.
Leaning on the car door, Pus earnestly looked at Xia Xian and said meaningfully, "Young talents inevitably make others envious. If you ever have any trouble in the future, feel free to contact me..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a business card, "This is my phone number."
Xia Xian took a deep breath, "Thank you..."
Lastly, Pus even wished them a Happy New Year in very awkward Chinese.
Previously, Xia Xian had heard that Mayor Pus of Pus City was hard to befriend, but in person, he wasn’t standoffish at all.
All this was thanks to the blessings of the Xia Family ancestors.
As for which ancestor it was, Xia Xian had no clue, but listening to what Pus had shared...
Life-saving medical skills, a chivalrous personality...
The more he heard, the more he felt it sounded like Little Tiangao.

On New Year’s Eve, of course they had to eat dumplings and watch the gala.
Xia Xian set up the channel to sync with the domestic Spring Festival Gala broadcast.
It was a rare chance to revel, so he invited Cook and a few brothers who had been with him for the longest time.
All were his confidants.
Shortly after receiving the call, several men with dark skin arrived at Xia Xian’s villa.
The men dressed differently, some in decent suits, others in casual T-shirts, but without exception, their broad palms all bore calluses.
Those were calluses from years of handling guns.
Knowing they were going to spend New Year’s at their boss’s house, the tough guys were happy and even knew to dispose of their smoked cigarette butts in the trash can, airing out the smoke smell before knocking on the door.
The boss’s precious little sister was inside; they couldn’t smoke her out.
Among them, one looked particularly fierce.
He was especially ruthless in his actions, often taking on the dirty tasks.
When he went crazy, even the old foxes in the Wealthy District were afraid, but he had one good point: he only listened to Xia Xian’s orders.
Whatever Xia Xian told him to do, he did.
Cook always called him One-Eye, because he was blind in one eye and his face also bore a twisted scar resembling a centipede, which looked quite horrifying.
However, just as he walked to the door, Cook noticed something different; today, One-Eye didn’t seem as terrifying as usual.
On closer inspection, he realized why.
The blind eye that usually showed, exposing uneven scars that added a frightening feel to his whole face.
But today, he had unusually put on an eye patch, white with a kitten pattern on it...
Quite surprising...
Facing his colleagues’ astonished looks, One-Eye scratched the sweaty scar on his face.
Half an hour ago, he had received orders from the boss, saying that he would spend New Year’s with the young miss, and he should try to make himself look cuter and more amiable.
One-Eye, a tough guy, didn’t normally do cute and amiable.
He racked his brains and came up with this solution, but with time being so tight, he could only find one with a kitten pattern...
What could Cook say?
He could only awkwardly smile and say, "It, it suits you..."
**
The tough guys entered the house to change shoes, and with today’s many guests, the slippers prepared by the Filipino maids were somewhat insufficient. While waiting, they each held their big leather boots, standing in line neatly and cleverly.
One of them even wore a kitten eye patch.
The scene was quite a contrasting cuteness...
"Happy New Year, Miss!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. Jiang!"
"Happy New Year, Boss!"
After changing into clean large slippers, they greeted the New Year, washed their hands, and joined the dumpling-making group.
Jiang Xuan transferred lucky money to each of them, including Xia Xian.
Xia Xian scratched his head, "This... Mr. Jiang, you don’t need to spend so much; red envelopes are generally given by elders to the younger ones..."
