Chapter 1217: Selling Dog Meat Under the Pretense of Sheep (1)
"Madam, we have found out that it is a foreign businessman who bought people in Heyang City under the guise of an art house." Bai Yang appeared in front of Ji Xiaomu and reported to her. "I have reported this to the young master, and the young master has ordered a thorough investigation. The young master will come here in person soon."
"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing Bai Yang's slightly panting appearance, it was obvious that he had just come back from running around and had spent a lot of effort. "Hurry up and go down and rest for a while."
"Thank you, Madam." Bai Yang couldn't refuse, so he obeyed the order obediently and went to the side to rest.
He is really exhausted.
"You heard what he said. We are already investigating. If this is a merchant who entered Heyang City under a false name, I will give you an explanation." Ji Xiao looked at Wu Xiaoan and said seriously. "However, if this merchant bought you by illegal means, then he must return all the money..."
Wu Xiaoan's whole body stiffened and he lowered his head dejectedly.
Her parents, who have already received the money, will never return it.
She could already imagine them refusing to pay back the money, and they might even force her...
Wu Xiaoan knelt down in front of Ji Xiaowu and begged, "Madam, if my parents are unwilling to pay back the money, can you buy me? I will work like a cow or a horse for you and serve you for the rest of my life."
"Xiaoan, are you going to sell yourself?" Mother Ji was stunned.
"I know...if it really comes to that, they won't be willing to return the money. They would rather not have me as their daughter." Wu Xiaoan has already deeply understood her position in her parents' hearts. She is a commodity.
Ji Xiaomu and Tian Rongrong looked at the resolute girl in front of them with distress, and Ji Xiaomu nodded. "If your parents really prefer money to you, I will agree to your request."
"Thank you, ma'am." Wu Xiaoan's eyes turned red and he looked at Ji Xiaomu with gratitude.
If she could really stay with the lady, she would do her best to serve her.
Ji Xiaowu helped Wu Xiaoan up. "Okay, stop kneeling and get up."
Wu Xiaoan stood up with the help of Ji Xiaou's strength.
Ji Xiaomian still had to continue to keep an eye on the incubation room, giving suggestions to the masters from time to time, as walking on the tools would inevitably result in some uneven spots and potholes.
After following Ji Xiaomu for a while, Wu Xiaoan had already taken on her role and protected Ji Xiaomu by her side. Whenever there were potholes, he would remind Ji Xiaomu and help her step over them safely.
When a luxurious carriage drove to Xiaohe Village, Ji Xiaomu saw the conspicuous carriage from afar and knew that Bai Yichen had arrived.
Fortunately, everything had been explained, so Ji Xiaomu took Wu Xiaoan and Tian Rongrong to meet them.
The carriage stopped smoothly in front of Ji Xiaou and the others. Bai Yichen jumped off the carriage and came to Ji Xiaou. "Where did you get this information?"
"Here." Ji Xiao pushed Wu Xiaoan forward. "Tell him what you just said to me."
Wu Xiaoan followed the order and obediently told Bai Yichen the whole story of the merchant buying the girl. Bai Yichen's face turned pale after hearing it. "We found the merchant. They came to the city under the pretext of buying mountain products. I personally approved the permission for them."
"Oh no." Ji Xiaowu said teasingly. "I didn't expect that Master Bai would also make mistakes. He was fooled~"
