Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 279: Shaving Your Head

"This is not a matter of where, the Xiao and Han families have been friends for generations, and you’ve watched Xiao Yu grow up from a child. We are all happy that he is alive, and gifts don’t matter." Xiao Tiance responded politely.

"That’s good, that’s good..." Han Jinhui also said, smiling.

However, his smile didn’t reach his eyes, and it was clear that his attention was elsewhere.

The two then had a sporadic chat. Xiao Zhan found an excuse to leave halfway, and Mr. and Mrs. Han Jinhui did not stop him.

Shortly after Xiao Zhan left the hall, Mr. and Mrs. Han Jinhui also found an excuse to leave.

"OK, problem solved!"

Xiao Zhan watched the backs of Mr. and Mrs. Han Jinhui as they left and made a victory gesture to Ghost Abacus and Hose.

But Hose shook his head indifferently.

"Do you have concerns?" Xiao Zhan asked him.

Hose said, "I think this matter is not over yet."

Xiao Zhan let him continue.

Hose continued, "The issue with Mr. and Mrs. Han Jinhui is temporarily resolved. They are wise people and, seeing your and your mother’s strong talent and power, chose to back down."

"But their daughter, Han Dingxiang, won’t do the same. Han Dingxiang’s feelings for Xiao Yu are very deep. Since Xiao Yu’s death, Dingxiang has been in tears day and night, and there were several times she almost took her own life and barely survived."

"Besides, although Han Dingxiang has awakened an SSS-grade Artifact Spirit, she never contracted with anyone. Even when the son of the Li Corporation came forward, she blatantly turned him away."

"Xiao Yu is everything to Han Dingxiang. Therefore, knowing Dingxiang’s personality, she will definitely not give up easily. I expect she will come over in person soon."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn’t take it seriously.

"What’s there to worry about? We can just talk to her directly when the time comes."

But Hose and Ghost Abacus shook their heads simultaneously, even looking at Xiao Zhan with a worried expression.

In their plan, the Han Family is a crucial ally.

Whether they can win the first place in the martial competition depends partly on the attitude of the Han Family.

Now that Xiao Zhan is involved in this entanglement, if not handled well, the Xiao Family might not get the support from the Han Family.

After all, Han Jinhui is famously devoted to his daughter.

For his daughter, he could defy heaven, earth, and air!

Therefore, Xiao Zhan’s handling of Han Dingxiang can’t be as direct as before.

Hose simply mentioned the role and importance of the Han Family in their plan. After hearing it, Xiao Zhan suddenly looked a lot less relaxed.

"What do you suggest then?"

Hose looked at Ye Youlong with a bit of hesitation.

Ye Youlong said, "Speak freely."

Hose then spoke, but his gaze still lingered on Ye Youlong, clearly aware of his master’s keen hearing.

"If possible, my suggestion is to initially find an excuse to stall Han Dingxiang. Keep her from escalating the issue and preventing the two families from damaging their relationship, at least until the martial competition is over, then we can lay our cards on the table."

"And how shall we stall her?"

"That’s up to you, master."

Hose certainly had a plan, but he couldn’t reveal it.

Because once it’s revealed, he would take the blame. If Xiao Zhan does something in the process of stalling Han Dingxiang that angers Ye Youlong, Hose would also suffer.

So instead of speaking out, it’s better to let Xiao Zhan figure it out himself.

This way, he wouldn’t have to take the blame, and Xiao Zhan would certainly consult Ye Youlong in advance. Then Ye Youlong wouldn’t go on a rampage, sparing Hose who is innocent.

After saying that, Hose took the Ghost Abacus and left, leaving Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong alone.

Xiao Zhan watched them leave, immediately realizing he had been handed a hot potato.

He turned his head towards Ye Youlong and said, "How do you suggest I con them?"

Passing the problem to the person who might cause it.

When Ye Youlong explodes, Xiao Zhan could then say ’You told me to do it this way,’ absolving himself of any blame.

Such a clever trickster.

But obviously, Ye Youlong was no fool; helping her own man to woo another girl?

She just scoffed and said, "Didn’t Hose say it already? It all depends on you. Just a heads-up, handle it well or I’ll shave your head."

"Shave the top? I can live with that."

"Below!"

...

On the other side.

Han Dingxiang had not slept well all night, constantly waking up for no apparent reason.

Finally making it till dawn, she couldn’t even bother to dress up properly and was ready to head to Xiao’s residence to find Xiao Zhan.

Being instructed by Han Jinhui, Xiao Cui had been told not to let Han Dingxiang go see Xiao Zhan before they returned.

So, seeing Han Dingxiang heading out, Xiao Cui immediately panicked and blocked her way, "Miss, where are you going?"

Han Dingxiang, looking tired and resentful, said, "I’m going to find Xiao Yu. I’ve been waiting for him a whole day and night, and he still hasn’t come to see me. I can’t wait any longer."

Previously, she had maintained a bit of maidenly reserve.

Convinced that Xiao Yu would come to see her first thing upon returning to the Xiao Family.

But now, nearly two days had passed without any sign of him or even a message, and Han Dingxiang couldn’t hold back anymore.

She had a bad feeling deep inside.

Hearing this, Xiao Cui became anxious too, remembering Han Jinhui’s words from the morning, she quickly said, "Miss, you haven’t had breakfast yet."

"I’m not eating." Han Dingxiang walked past her, quickening her pace.

Knowing she couldn’t be stopped, Xiao Cui chased after her while saying, "Miss, the Family Head has gone out on business, why don’t you wait for him to return and go together?"

"I can’t wait."

"Miss, Miss, even if you’re going now, you should at least freshen up. Going disheveled like this, what kind of impression would it make on Young Master Xiao Yu?"

Han Dingxiang abruptly stopped.

She looked at herself, then turned around, "Get me cleaned up."

"Yes, Miss."

Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief.

Women’s dressing usually takes a lot of time; Xiao Cui thought she could wait until the family head returned.

But today, Han Dingxiang got ready faster than ever, not fussing over clothes or makeup, simply tidying up swiftly before rushing out.

But even so, she still looked as beautiful as a flower.

However, this only made Xiao Cui more worried.

Fortunately, just as Han Dingxiang was about to step out of her room, Han Jinhui and the others returned.

Xiao Cui totally relaxed now.

And seeing his daughter ready to head out, Han Jinhui knew without guessing what she was up to.
