Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 65 - : Listen to the Ancestors’ Words
Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Listen to the Ancestors’ Words
When the Boss Cao heard Cao Jiadong’s words, his eyes reddened, and he averted his gaze, but he remained silent.
He didn’t know what to say.
The atmosphere in the car cooled down again.
In this kind of car compartment, Xia Xin felt he was nearly suffocating.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the car arrived at Jiaoyang Temple.
Just before Jiangli and Xia Xin were about to get out of the car, Boss Cao suddenly turned to Jiangli, a look of gratitude on his face, and said, “Abbot, I was blind to your value before; that was my fault, but now I understand my mistake. I no longer intend to demolish Jiaoyang Temple. I’ll have my secretary return the deed to you later—it’s my way of saying thanks.”
...
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin’s eyes lit up dramatically, and his emotions visibly leapt.
However, Jiangli declined with an indifferent tone, “No need.”
“Why?!”
“Why?”
Xia Xin and Boss Cao asked in unison, looking incredulously at Jiangli.
Xia Xin didn’t understand—wasn’t this a perfect opportunity to take back Jiaoyang Temple?
Why would he reject it?
Had the old ancestor gone mad?
Boss Cao was also puzzled; Jiaoyang Temple should be quite important to Jiangli.
He had assumed that mentioning this matter would lead Jiangli to agree immediately, and nobody had anticipated his refusal.
“The money for the outside job, 1.6 million, I have received. Everything has its own place; having taken the money for the work I was to do, I cannot accept other sums. No work, no pay,” Jiangli explained methodically. “However, it’s true that you can’t dismantle Jiaoyang Temple. But Boss Cao, rest assured, I will repay that 6 million as soon as possible.”
Xia Xin was stunned; was the old ancestor confused from fasting too long?
The 6 million, which initially didn’t need to be repaid, would’ve secured the deed!
Now, not only could he not reclaim the deed, but he also had to repay the money!
Xia Xin was on the verge of collapsing.
After speaking, Jiangli yawned, glanced at him and mumbled, “I am extremely tired; let’s go back.”
With that, she turned to leave.

Xia Xin looked sorrowful as if mourning the death of his parents. Even though his parents had probably died long ago, he couldn’t help but feel sad.
However, since Jiangli had spoken, there was nothing he could say.
Reluctantly glancing at Boss Cao, Xia Xin repressed his near frantic emotions and followed Jiangli out.
“That…” Cao Jiadong came to his senses at this point, pushing Boss Cao and couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, did you give her 1.6 million before?”
Boss Cao nodded, “1.6 million to save my life isn’t too much.”
Cao Jiadong’s eyes widened, “That’s not too much?”
Now working in Boss Cao’s company and having met many bosses who believed in such things, he had never heard of anyone whose divination was worth so much!
1.6 million was just outrageous!
“Don’t you think it was worth it?” Boss Cao glanced at him. “If not for the master, I would have been killed by your mother today.”
Cao Jiadong: “…”
He dared not speak.
As silent as a cicada in winter, Cao Jiadong restarted the car and headed to the hospital.
Seeing him fall silent, Boss Cao understood his position—it was indeed difficult to speak ill of one’s parents—so he said, “Forget it, lend me your phone in a bit, I need to make a call.”
“Who does dad want to contact?” Cao Jiadong asked blankly.
Boss Cao’s expression suddenly darkened, “Hmph, I want to ask Yamin a few questions!”
Cao Jiadong shuddered, feeling an ominous premonition.
Indeed, although the matter with Wang Lijuan was over, the issue with Yamin had not been settled.
With Boss Cao’s temperament, how could he possibly swallow this affront?
