Power and Wealth - Chapter 325

Chapter 325: 325
The warm sunlight shines through the windows .

Dong Xuebing yawned as he opens his eyes and looks around him . Huh? Where am I? This place looks like a Mansion… Oh… Sister Xie and I went to Senior Xie’s Mansion for dinner last evening . This place should be Xishan Mansion . Did I spend the night here? Dong Xuebing suddenly felt the terrible hangover and rubbed his tempers to relieve the headache . How much did I drink last night?! I remembered I drank a lot during dinner, but how did I end up in this room? How come I couldn’t recall a thing?

Knock… knock… knock… Someone knocks on the door . ”

“Xiao Bing, wake up . ” It’s Xie Huilan .

Dong Xuebing quickly got up . “Sister Xie… Can you come in for a while?”

The door opens, and Xie Huilan entered with a smile . “What’s wrong? Are you asking me to help you dress up?” Dong Xuebing realized that he was only wearing his long johns . His coat and pants are folded neatly on a chair beside the bed . He knew someone had undressed him last night, as he does not have the habit of folding his clothes . “Err… did I got drunk last night? How come I ended up sleeping here?” Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing . “You still dare to mention yesterday?” Dong Xuebing blushed . “Errr… my clothes… did you help me remove my clothes?” “If it’s not me, who else will help you?” Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing . “I almost broke my back to remove your clothes . ”

Dong Xuebing replied apologetically . “Sorry to trouble you . ”

“Go and wash up now . It’s time for breakfast . ”

“Ok . ”

Dong Xuebing quickly wore back his clothes and asked . “Oh, did I embarrass myself last night? Did I vomit?” This is what Dong Xuebing is concern about .

Xie Huilan glanced at Dong Xuebing . “I don’t know what to say about you . Are you feigning ignorance?”

Dong Xuebing froze . “Did I puke? Where?” Xie Huilan smiles helplessly . “It’s fine if you puke all over the place . But you did not and only say lots of nonsense . ”

“Ah? What did I say?”

“You played chess with my Grandfather in the room, and the loser had to drink a glass of Moutai . You drank three to four glasses and got drunk . After that, you called my Grandfather as Old Xie, and had your arms over his shoulder . ” Xie Huilan could not hold back her laughter and burst out laughing . “Xiao Bing, I didn’t know you are so daring in the past . You did not only address my Grandfather as Old Xie but also criticize him for what he has done . After that, you started singing the National Anthem . ”

Dong Xuebing paused for a few seconds . “Impossible!”

“……” Xie Huilan ignored him .

“This is impossible!” Dong Xuebing continued . “Sister Xie, stop kidding around . ” Xie Huilan replied . “You were so loud, and I can hear you from downstairs . Almost everyone in the Mansion can hear you . Why should I lie to you?” Dong Xuebing’s face turns green .

“What do you think?”

“I seldom talk nonsense when I get drunk . ” Dong Xuebing said . When Dong Xuebing drunk a lot, he will not speak nonsense, but he had never drunk so much before . From Sister Xie’s reaction, she should not be lying to him, and the hair on Dong Xuebing’s back stood up .

“Did I had offended Senior Xie again? What should I do? He must have a worse impression of me now . ” Xie Huilan smiles . “My Grandfather did not say anything . ”

“What do you mean?”

“He did not scold you and had a good time chatting with you . Both of you sang the National Anthem together . Hahaha… It’s been a long while since I heard my Grandfather laughing so loudly . ” Xie Huilan shook her head . “I wonder what’s so funny? Hahaha…”

Dong Xuebing blinked and asked . “You are saying Senior Xie did not get angry?”

“How would I know what he is thinking?”

“Ah…” Dong Xuebing grabbed his hair as he slowly remembers bits of what happened last night . He slapped his forehead a few times to clear his mind . I called him Old Xie, and he still sang the National Anthem with me? This means he did not get angry . Oh… Senior Xie is magnanimous… Dong Xuebing’s impression of Senior Xie changed, but he was still nervous . He had embarrassed himself last night and wonders how he is going to face everyone .

About ten minutes later, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan went downstairs .

Along the corridor, they met Xie Jing, who is carrying a stack of Xuan paper . She looked at Dong Xuebing weirdly and greeted him . “… Brother Dong, you got up?”



“Ah… I just woke up . Are you busy?” Dong Xuebing asked .

Xie Jing nodded . “Grandfather is writing calligraphy, and I am bringing him the Xuan paper . ”

Xie Jing had spent the night at the Mansion last night . She had wanted to leave last night, but the commotion in the study room was too loud . Dong Xuebing had criticized Senior Xie and even sang the National Anthem with Senior Xie . It was chaos, and no one can stop them . The commotion lasted until almost 11 pm, and it was too late for her to return home .

On the way downstairs, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan pass a few helpers .

All of them are looking at Dong Xuebing weirdly .

Why are all of you looking at me this way? Dong Xuebing blushed embarrassedly .

Dong Xuebing saw Senior Xie’s back when he reached the first floor, and his body shook . Xie Hao and Xie Ran stand beside the table, and Xie Jing places the Xuan Paper on the table . The brushes and ink on the table are arranged neatly, and Senior Xie grinded the inkstick himself . After that, he picks up a brush, closed his eyes for a few seconds, before he started writing a few words . His movements are flawless, and is very skilled in calligraphy .

Xie Huilan did not disturb Senior Xie and walks up to him quietly .

Dong Xuebing went forward embarrassedly and saw what Senior Xie wrote . “Upright and Righteous . ”

Xie Hao noticed Dong Xuebing and started making eye signals with a smile .

Dong Xuebing returned with a stare . He knew this rascal will make fun of him!

“Grandfather… your tea . ” Xie Ran’s attention remains on the words . “Every time I look at your words, I can feel the strength in the words .

Senior Xie laughed and shook his head . “Flattery!”



Xie Ran replied . “This is how I feel when I look at your writings . Can you give me these words? I will frame it up when I get back . ”

Senior Xie nodded .

Xie Ran was overjoyed as he kept the piece of paper carefully .

Dong Xuebing felt Xie Ran must be pretending, and he could not see anything special about those words . At most, the words are considered pleasing to the eyes, and nothing else .

Xie Hao shouted . “Grandfather, I also want some words . ”

“You?” Senior Xie looks at Xie Hao . “Hmph! You could not even pass the Junior High School’s Chinese exams . Can you even read what I write?”

“Ah… Just write something for me . Quick . ”

Senior Xie is in a good mood today and agreed to Xie Hao’s request . He thought for a while and dipped his brush into the ink, before writing some words on the paper . But when Xie Hao went forward to get the piece of paper, his face changed . “Study hard every day . ” These eight characters seemed to be mocking Xie Hao, and he kept the piece of paper unwillingly .

Xie Jing laughed and said . “Grandfather, you must be fair to all of us . I also want your writing . ”

Senior Xie laughed . “What words do you want?”

“I am thick-skinned . I want the words “As beautiful as the flowers and moon . ”” Xie Jing replied with a laugh .

Xie Hao immediately teases his Second sister, and Xie Ran also laughed at his younger Sister .

Senior Xie laughed and shook his head . He rested for a moment and picks up his brush again to write “As beautiful as the flowers and moon” on the paper in front of him . After he is done, he changed a new piece of Xuan Paper and wrote “stunningly beautiful” on it .



Xie Hao grumbled . “Grandfather, you are biased . Why did you give Second Sister two sets of writings?”

Senior Xie did not reply .

Xie Jing understood what Senior Xie is thinking . “This set of writings are not for me . Other than your Eldest Sister, who else can claim they are “stunningly beautiful?” Hehe… Grandfather, is this piece for my Elder Sister?” Senior Xie replied with a ‘Hmph!’ . This is how he speaks to Xie Huilan .

Xie Jing knew she guessed it correctly and passed the “stunningly beautiful” words to Xie Huilan . “Sis, Grandfather, is biased . “stunningly beautiful” is so much better than “As beautiful as the flowers and moon””

Xie Huilan smiled and said . “Thank you, Grandfather, for giving me these words . ”

Everyone got a piece of Senior Xie’s writing except for Dong Xuebing .

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and felt this is the right moment for him to apologize . “Grandfather, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday… I got too drunk, and I…” Senior Xie heard what Dong Xuebing said and laughed .

Everyone knew Dong Xuebing had embarrassed himself last night and started giggling .

Senior Xie did not say anything and picks up his brush again . He dipped his brush into the ink and closed his eyes for almost three minutes . Suddenly, he opened his eyes and wrote four characters with powerful strokes .

Have a clear conscience!

Senior Xie is writing, ‘Have a clear conscience!’

When Senior Xie finished, he wrote his name on it . “… Xiao Dong, this is for you . ”

Everyone there was stunned!

Senior Xie wrote his name on that piece of paper!
