Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 21

“Yo, I’m joining you for dinner,” the girl said indifferently. She tossed the bag she was carrying onto the floor.

When Mr. Xie saw her, he felt as if all his pent-up anger was about to erupt.

“Where have you been? Why are you back so late?”

This young girl was none other than Mr. Xie’s daughter, Xie JingJing.

In a somewhat disdainful tone, she said, “Nowhere at all. I was just out, racing cars with a few friends.”

It was obvious that Mr. Xie was greatly enraged by Xie JingJing’s rude attitude. He almost threw a fit.

But Auntie Chubby, being such a doting parent who constantly worried for her daughter, hurriedly said, “JingJing, look who’s back?”

“Who?” Xie JingJing said in a most unconcerned and casual manner as she continued into the inner room.

Xue An let out a soft sigh and said, “JingJing.”

Xie JingJing, who was initially so indifferent, froze upon hearing this voice. She slowly turned to face An, who was seated with a light smile on his face. Tears sprang into her eyes and she burst out crying.

“Brother… Brother An?” Xie JingJing asked tentatively. Her voice gently quivered.

There was a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Xue An smiled and nodded as he said, “It’s me. I’m back!”

Without waiting for Xue An to even finish his sentence, Xie JingJing rushed to him and buried her face in his arms. Then she burst into tears and wailed loudly.

This sudden outburst of emotion caused the atmosphere to become a little awkward.

Fan MengXue and Tang Xuan’er glanced at each other, then without changing their facial expressions, they continued eating as if nothing had happened.

“Brother An, where have you been these last four years? Everyone told me that you were dead. But I always knew you were alive because I often dream about you.”

Xue An felt the girl’s tears soaking into his chest and he lamented a little in his heart. Then he patted Xie JingJing’s delicate, petite head.

“Enough. You’re already such a big girl. Fancy still crying your eyes out like this.”

Xie JingJing raised her head, revealing the make-up that was now smudged all over her face.

Xue An could not help but let out a little laugh when he saw her comical appearance.

Xie JingJing suddenly realized how embarrassing she must look. She hurriedly covered her face and made a quick dash towards the back room.

Xue An turned to look at Auntie Chubby and Mr. Xie. He could not help but laugh as he said, “JingJing’s really grown up so much.”

“She really has, hasn’t she? Now that you’re back, you can talk some sense into her. You’re the only one that she listens to,” said Auntie Chubby.

Mr. Xie was quite happy. He held up his glass and had another drink with Xue An.

At this moment, Xie JingJing, who had washed her face clean, returned to join them.

Now that she had removed her messy and smudged make-up, Xie JingJing looked so pretty with her fine and delicate features. She slowly, step by step, moved herself to stand before Xue An.

Auntie Chubby, who really adored her daughter, hurriedly cut in. “You haven’t had your dinner yet, right? Quick, sit down, and eat!”

But Xie JingJing was distracted when she saw Xue Xiang and Xue Nian. Her eyes reddened as she asked, “These are… Are these your daughters, Brother An?”

Xue An nodded.

“Then who are these two?” Xie JingJing pointed at Tang Xuan’er and Fan MengXue.

“JingJing!” Auntie Chubby interrupted with a hint of anger. “Don’t you dare be so rude!”

Fan MengXue, however, was smiling politely. She said, “Auntie, it’s alright. I kind of like JingJing.”

Xue An pointed to the two ladies. “These are my friends.”

“Just friends?” Xue JingJing asked, determined to get to the root of the matter.

Xue An could not help but laugh. “What else would they be if not friends?”

Xie JingJing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then she forced a smile on her face and sat down next to Xue An.

“Dear sisters, I would like to propose a toast to the both of you first!” Xue JingJing filled her glass with wine as she said the words to Fan MengXue and Tang Xuan’er.

Mr. Xie’s face darkened as he said, “Nonsense!”

Fan MengXue waved her hand dismissively. She too, topped her glass up with wine. “Alright then. I shall have this drink with you!”

With that, Fan MengXue threw back the glass and downed her drink.

Similarly, Xie JingJing gritted her teeth and quickly downed her glass of wine.

But after she had finished her drink, her face immediately turned red.

Fan MengXue, however, did not look any different at all.

As a matter of fact, Fan MengXue, would not have felt any different even if she had downed an entire bottle of alcohol.

She was accustomed to situations like this. Being a famous celebrity meant that she had to deal with many meetings over meals. And a lot of these appointments were fraught with malicious intent and hidden agenda.

To protect herself, Fan MengXue had trained herself to hold her liquor intake. Now, she had such a high tolerance for alcohol that it was actually remarkable.

Xie JingJing turned her attention to Tang Xuan’er. She poured another glass of wine and said, “This sister here, let’s have a drink too!”

Tang Xuan’er was slightly hesitant. Seeing this, Xue An picked up his own glass.”What’s this,” he said to Xie JingJing. “We haven’t seen each other for four years and now, you can really hold your liquor?”

Xie JingJing lowered her head.

Xue An acted like he was her older brother. “Look at the way you dress,” he said. “Aren’t you supposed to look like a student? And the drinking? Do you think that you can behave so recklessly and brazenly simply because I’m not around?”

Drops of aggravated tears fell to the ground from Xie JingJing’s eyes.

Seeing this, Xue An eased his tone. “Since you feel like drinking, I’ll have a drink with you then!”

With that said, he quickly downed his drink.

Begrudgingly, Xie JingJing followed suit and she emptied her glass again.

This time, there was a dazed look in her eyes.

Xue An put down his glass. “Let this glass of wine mark the end of an era. Starting from tomorrow, I want to see a decent and well-behaved Xie JingJing, understand?”

Xie JingJing looked at Xue An. She nodded, then collapsed on the ground. She was drunk and seemed to have passed out under the table.

Auntie Chubby rushed forward to help her daughter up, but Xue An simply waved his hand to stop her. “It’s okay. Just let her sleep.”

Xue An rested his hand on Xie JingJing’s shoulder and transfused some genuine Qi into her body to help Xie JingJing get rid of some of her drunkenness.

“Eh!”

Xue An exclaimed lightly. It seemed like Xie JingJing was actually a rare body of Pure Yin!

This was an extremely rare condition; a constitution that was truly one-in-a-million. It was something that was most suitable for cultivating the Pure Yin Method.

But it would also attract the attention of many followers of evil.

Fortunately, as of right now, Xie JingJing’s body had not reached full maturity. This meant that her Pure Yin was not showing yet.

If she had already lost her virginity, her body of Pure Yin would be destroyed as well.

It could be deduced that although Xie JingJing was a rebellious young woman, she had not done anything too extreme that would have been considered improper.

The thought of this slightly comforted Xue An.

The meal continued for some time.

It was only until Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, the two little girls, were too sleepy to continue that Xue An helped the hopelessly drunk Mr. Xie back into the house.

When Xue An was about to leave, Auntie Chubby unexpectedly grabbed his hand. She looked a little sad. “Xiao An, Auntie Chubby has always treated you like my own son. You disappeared and went missing for so long. You must come and visit us more often!”

Xue An smiled and said, “Auntie Chubby, don’t worry. This time, I will not leave you again!”

Xue Xiang and Xue Nian had already fallen asleep so Xue An simply scooped them up. He placed one girl on each arm.

The two little heads rested on his shoulders and their light snoring blew tiny breaths on Xue An’s neck. He felt an itch, which made it impossible to feel relaxed and truly peaceful.

Once they were out of the restaurant, Xue An turned towards Fan MengXue. “Which hotel are you staying in? I’ll give you a lift there.”

Fan MengXue lowered her head and hesitantly replied. “I… am not staying in any hotel. The moment I reached Beijiang, I came straight to Dragon Emperor Tower Hotel!”

“Er… What about you, Xuan’er?”

Tang Xuan’er replied in a soft voice, “I am staying at the hospital’s dormitory. But it’s already late now. They’ve probably already locked the doors.”

“Then why not… Put up at my place for the night,” Xue An suggested.

“Alright!” Fan MengXue and Tang Xuan’er lowered their heads and replied in unison.

Xie JingJing, who was already fast asleep, suddenly shed a tear at the corner of her eye. She murmured, “Brother An, don’t leave me! When I grow up… I will marry you!”

Auntie Chubby, who was packing things in the room, heard these words and froze for a moment. Then she sighed and said, “Silly girl, your Brother An is not just any ordinary man!”
