“Don’t think about going back on your word, I’ve already won the bid.” Jin Xi waved the old phone in her hand. “If you don’t keep your promise, I don’t know what it will do.”

Jin Yingying immediately nodded. She would do anything to get it off her. “I promise.” Jin Yingying was as humble as a servant.

“Come here.” Jin Xi stretched out her hand, and the lizard obediently climbed onto Jin Xi’s hand, instantly becoming docile.

It licked Jin Xi’s palm, looking very obedient and cute.

“Why would it listen to you?” Jin Yingying could not help but ask.

If he could make it to her, wouldn’t she not have to be afraid of it in the future?

Unfortunately, Jin Xi’s words shattered her hopes. “Maybe he cares about looks.”

In other words, she was saying that Jin Yingying was not pretty enough. How infuriating!

Jin Yingying thought, “I’m still the school belle. How could a lizard not like me?”

But it really didn’t like her. It turned around and glared at Jin Yingying coldly, as if to say, “ugly girl, don’t get too close to me!”

“…”

Late at night, the rest of the Jin family had already fallen asleep. Jin Xi walked out of Jin Yingying’s room with the lizard and climbed to the roof of the Jin family’s house. She sat cross-legged and made a hand gesture to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak.” After some time, the lizard let out a cry.

Jin Xi opened her eyes and gently stroked its back. “What’s wrong?”

It licked Jin Xi’s fingers and wagged its tail.

Jin Xi looked down and saw a luxury car slowly driving in from outside. The person in the car was Jin Yida. His face was slightly red, and he looked like he had been drinking.

“Come and pick me up early tomorrow. I want to sign a big contract with CEO Wang and the others!” Jin Yida said in a drunken voice.

“Yes.” The chauffeur responded and drove off.

Jin Yida walked unsteadily towards the villa, looking as if nothing was wrong.

However, Jin Xi, who was sitting on the roof, could clearly feel the faint black mist surrounding the Jin family slowly approaching Jin Yida the moment he appeared!

Jin Yida was a delicacy to the evil spirits! All the black mist rushed toward him.

Jin Yida couldn’t see it, but he could clearly feel the cold all over his body. “Why is it so cold?” He kept rubbing his arms and shivering.

Jin Xi slowly stood up, her gaze locked on the black mist.

The spirit had a greedy look on its face. Every wisp of black mist was on Jin Yida’s body, absorbing his energy.

“Little guy, are you hungry? Jin Xi asked as she stroked the lizard’s back.

It quickly nodded and wagged its tail excitedly.

“Go!” Jin Xi raised her arm slightly, and it jumped down as if it was diving into water. It pounced toward the place where the black mist gathered.

The scene after that was very brutal. It gulped everything up and all the black mist on Jin Yida was gone. After it was full, it burped and jumped into the grass to lie down. With its belly facing up, it leisurely took a bath under the moonlight.

As for Jin Yida, he didn’t know what had happened at all. He only felt that the temperature around him seemed to have risen a little.

“This lousy weather, why is it suddenly hot and suddenly cold? How strange!” He grumbled as he walked into the house. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Jin Xi coming downstairs.

“It’s already so late, why aren’t you asleep yet? I’m thirsty, get me a cup of hot water.” Jin Yida ordered.

However, Jin Xi stood still as if she hadn’t heard him.

Jin Yida was annoyed. He shouted drunkenly, “what’s wrong with you? Can’t you do as your dad says?”

Jin Xi still didn’t respond.

Jin Yida had no choice but to get up unsteadily and pour himself a glass of water.

“If Yingying was here, she would have poured me a glass of water without me having to say anything.” Jin Yida said sarcastically.

Jin Xi lazily sat on the sofa, as if she hadn’t heard Jin Yida’s words. The warm light from the living room shone on her body, making her already delicate face look very gentle. “Do you have sores on your body again?” She asked, her expression cold and arrogant.

Hearing this, Jin Yida was stunned. His hand subconsciously grabbed the back of his neck. Just as Jin Xi said, he had a sore on his body and it was very itchy.
