Chapter 377 Xiang Family Ancestor
Luo Tian and Xiaofen had a rare moment of unity of thought, and a plan came to their minds, but they never expected that Meng Ke would be the first to take the lead.
Meng Ke held the egg and praised it in various ways. Sometimes she praised the egg's shell for its nice color and luster, and sometimes she praised the egg for its good shape. She could tell it was a good egg at first glance. In short, she praised it in various ways.
Dandan is an egg with a heritage. It remembers what the heritage says: If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Every time Mengke praised it, it would shake. Mengke didn't know what Dan was thinking, and thought it was jumping for fun because it was happy about being praised.
So after praising her enough, she started to discuss: "Dandan! Sister prepared some small clothes for you to change into."
Dandan: He hasn’t been born yet, how can he wear clothes?
Luo Tian and Xiaofen also came up from the left and right, both offering to help.
At this time, Meng Ke's computer rang, and Xiang Ran arrived.
She felt a little regretful that she couldn't put the little skirt on Dandan herself, but there was no other way. This glorious and arduous task could be handed over to her husband and Xiaofen.
"Tiantian, I still have some small skirts in my storage that I bought for our baby. There should be one that is suitable for Dandan. You can put it on him. I have something else to do. Remember to take a video for me after you put it on."
"no problem!"
Luo Tian reached out to take the egg.
Meng Ke turned sideways and put the balls into Xiaofen's arms.
Luo Tian was dissatisfied: "Wife, you are partial!"
Meng Ke laughed: "Did you forget that you still have one in your belly?"
"Xiaoduo, keep an eye on your master and don't let him get tired."
"Yes! Madam!"
Xiao Duo was quite smart. After receiving the order, he moved closer to Luo Tian. The meaning was self-evident.
Luo Tian pretended to be dissatisfied: "Xiao Duo, have you forgotten who your master is, humph!"
"Master, to be precise, you and Mr. Luo Jing are both my masters. On the day I was born, Mr. Luo Jing said that your safety is the first and unchanging principle. I am here for you."
Meng Ke really liked robots like Xiao Duo. She patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs-up: "Well done! We'll leave our family to you every day!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
When Meng Ke rushed over, Xiang Ran had already been taken by Wutong to the largest hotel on Alliance Planet 2. There was a reception room in the hotel's luxury suite. When Meng Ke arrived, Xiang Ran and the Xiang family's ancestor were already waiting there.
"Sorry! I kept you waiting for so long."
"No, no! We just arrived too. Thank you, Master Meng, for arranging the hotel. Apologies for your expense."
The ancestor of the Xiang family is a very experienced person. He is kind and amiable, and he speaks very carefully.
Xiang Ran followed the old ancestor and greeted Meng Ke. After a few pleasantries, Meng Ke got down to business: "Mr. Xiang, why don't you take a rest first? We'll start when it's convenient for you."
This was just a polite remark. In fact, we had agreed before that we would purify today, but Meng Ke took into consideration that the old man had been traveling a long way, so it would be better for him to rest for a while and recover before starting again.
Ancestor Xiang was indeed a little tired, but as a person with high-level spiritual power, it was not to the point where he needed to rest.
He waved his hand: "I'm fine. Master Meng, if it's convenient for you, we can start now."
"it is good!"
Generally, purifiers don't like outsiders to be present when they are working. When Xiang Ran heard that the purification was about to begin, he immediately stood up and prepared to go out.
Meng Ke, however, stopped him: "Mr. Xiang, please stay."
Seeing Xiang Ran standing there staring at her, Meng Ke continued, "I don't need to clear the area while I'm working. If the purification takes a long time, the old man might fall asleep. I'll need your help to carry him to the bed."
Robots can also do these things, but since this is the first time she meets Mr. Xiang, it would be better to leave one of Xiang's family members around so that Mr. Xiang can relax more.
"Okay! Trouble!"
Xiang Ran was very respectful. He had not expected that his good intentions would bring such great results.
Of course, he is not someone who would take advantage of others. Meng Ke has helped a lot, and they have already discussed how to thank the Xiang family.
When they first met just now, the ancestor had already given Meng Ke a gift. Meng Ke knew that the other party would ask a favor of her next, so in order to reassure Xiang's family, she did not refuse and accepted it directly.
But she didn't expect that this was just a small token of appreciation from the Xiang family, and the formal gifts they had prepared were still to come.
The purification process went smoothly, but if you want to achieve the expected effect, you still need to purify it several times.
Meng Ke originally wanted to deal with the affairs of the main star and go to the Insect Sea Star Region as soon as possible, but now it seems that it is impossible.
"We agreed to purify him once, but considering his condition, it would be best to purify him more often. Furthermore, the environment on the remote planet isn't suitable for his recuperation. Unless absolutely necessary, I suggest he stay in the central area for retirement."
Xiang Ran was a little nervous. Being able to trouble Meng Ke once was a pleasant surprise. He didn't even dare to think about asking someone to help reduce the ancestor's radiation to a safe level.
Meng Ke took the initiative to propose it at this time. He really wanted to agree, but the ancestor always abided by the rules. If the Xiang family could not repay such a big favor, the ancestor would definitely not agree.
The ancestor of the Xiang family thanked Meng Ke with a kind smile, but he did not agree verbally.
As the head of the Xiang family, I would never think such shameless words as "I don't have to worry about having too much debt".
Before accepting the kindness, he should think carefully about whether he can repay the debt and how much pressure his children and grandchildren will face if he cannot.
Anyway, even if the radiation is reduced to a safe level, I may be able to live for decades longer. If I owe a huge favor, isn't this overdrawing the blessings of my descendants?
Meng Ke could also see Mr. Xiang's temper during their conversation. Seeing that he did not agree immediately but had some concerns, she looked up to them.
"Old sir, there's no need to worry so much. Purifying you only takes a little time for me, but Mr. Xiang Ran was willing to help me when I was insignificant. This is a favor that cannot be offset by several purifications."
The Xiang family's ancestor was stunned. He didn't expect Meng Ke to attach so much importance to the little help given to her by her own junior.
Of course Xiang Ran told the ancestor everything about Meng Ke. The ancestor felt that the two of them were just acquaintances. As for the box of pears and the purchase of the pear tree later, they were all used up when Meng Ke agreed to help grow a plant. He even criticized Xiao Ran. He asked Meng Ke to help grow the interstellar ginseng that even the research institute couldn't grow. Isn't this repaying a favor?
"Xiao Ran told me about asking you to plant ginseng. Alas! This kid has no sense. Don't take it to heart. Just pretend he never mentioned it. As for the purification, I'll trouble you."
The price charged by a senior purifier is high. It’s not that the Xiang family cannot afford it, but they don’t have enough face to hire a senior purifier.
Given his current situation, even if he had already applied to queue up in the alliance system, he might not be able to wait until that day. Meng Ke was willing to help out of Xiang Ran's face, which saved his life.
The ancestor of the Xiang family has already made up his mind that he cannot overdraw the younger generation's connections with noble people. It is already not easy for the younger generation to make connections. Even if it means emptying his private treasury, he must settle this debt in the future.
Before leaving, Meng Ke gave Xiang Ran a lot of medium and high-quality fruits and vegetables, asking him to persuade the old man to take good care of his health.
Xiang Ran was extremely grateful. After sending Meng Ke away, he came back and placed all these in front of the ancestor.
Ancestor Xiang did not expect Meng Ke to be so thoughtful. For the first time, he looked at his junior very seriously. He had a handsome appearance and was not noticeable in a crowd. He could only be described as average. He was an honest man and would not be liked by women. Otherwise, he would not have failed to like the candidates introduced by the family several times. So why did Master Meng treat him differently?
If this young man was better looking, he would have thought more.
At this time, the hotel's service robot had already cut up the fruit Xiang Ran had just handed him and brought it over. Xiang Laozu asked Xiang Ran to sit down. After the service robot left, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you think she's been too nice to you?"
Xiang Ran said nervously, "Grandfather, there's really nothing between her and me!"
The ancestor Xiang couldn't stand the hopeless behavior of his young generation: "Of course I, your ancestor, know that you are nothing. With your simple porridge and vegetables, how can anyone look down on you!"
Xiang Ran felt a little aggrieved: "I... I just look ordinary, what's wrong with that?"
