Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Yes. My grandmother told us about it. The former patriarch did not call me here because of my lover "Xiao Mei told about her grandmother talking about this subject.

"Yes. I thought about making a surprise, but that damn old woman already ruined it. "The old man seemed dissatisfied with the things that happened.

The old man's causal and angry words shocked the two girls, they didn't think that the former patriarch of the Xiao clan could speak that way. Xiao Mei and Song Jia remembered that the old woman called the former patriarch a weak old man.

When they heard these words in the apartment, they were shocked to learn that the old woman called the former patriarch in that disrespectful way. But now, the two girls realized that their relationship was very deep.

(Is grandma a great friend of the former patriarch? Otherwise, the two of them would not call each other a weak old man and damn old woman) That was the thought of the two girls.

"You two must be curious to know why I call your grandmother a damn old woman, right?" The old man understood the thoughts of the two girls.

They only nod in response to the question.

"That damn old woman and I have known each other for a long time, she would be considered my cousin. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have become a good patriarch for the clan. That damn old woman forced me into this path "The old man commented on some past issues.

"Is Grandma a cousin of the former patriarch?" Those words were like a bomb in the ears of the two girls.

"Yes, but we are distant cousins ​​and we meet at random. Just because she was stronger than me, she beat me up and bullied me when I was younger. But thanks to her, I became a great patriarch and was able to protect my clan. After so many years, I still consider her a great friend"

The two girls had a brain short because they couldn't believe the things they were hearing. The old woman, Xiao Mei remembered was very casual and was always smiling while playing with her.

Xiao Mei could not associate the image of a smiling old woman with a quarrelsome young woman who intimidated the future patriarch of one of the most powerful clans in China. This association was impossible for her. The same for Song Jia.

"Don't you two believe my words? This is reasonable because that damn old woman has become more casual and is retired, she must have stopped intimidating others "The old man felt nostalgic when he remembered these things. These memories were very precious to him.

The two girls did not respond and just kept quiet trying to imagine this situation.

"Let's stop talking about this embarrassing past and focus on the subject of you two and your lover" The old man went straight to the point.

"What kind of subjects does the former patriarch want to talk about?" Xiao Mei wanted to know what the old man wanted to do about this subject.

"Your grandmother must have already talked about this, right?"

"Yes"

"I will explain it better. I want you two to be recognized as honorary members of the main clan, even though this young lady does not have the surname Xiao, she is your bodyguard and it is possible to do that. "

"Former patriarch, but to join the main clan as an honorary member was it not necessary to contribute to great achievements?" Both girls were aware of the clan's rules.

"Yes, you two have already made a great contribution to the clan"

"Is this related to our lover?"

"Yes. The other powerful and influential clans have discovered their relationship with that young man named Liu Yang, it is not very difficult to find out about it. These clans began to want alliances with our clan because of this, since it is very difficult to talk to Liu Yang when he is with his fiancee "The old man did not care that Xiao Mei and Song Jia were just Liu Yang's lovers, that was a normal thing in the world, for a man to have more than one woman. In high society, a man always had several lovers.

"Former patriarch, why don't these clans try to speak directly to Liu Yang? When he is at school, he studies in a room other than Liu Xia "

"This is true, but he seems to be someone who doesn't like to interact with other people. It looks like he only interacts with one person in his classroom, a girl named Meng Xiuying "

"Yes, she is his only classmate that Liu Xia and I know"

"And there are also other factors that I don't want to mention. Overall, this is the topic I have to talk to you about. I will also ask for more resources to be allocated for you. Young girl, you are already an advanced mage, but you still need more training, while you are a Great Mage, but you still lack resources to do other breakthroughs. I hope you work hard and don't let that damn old woman down "

"We will not disappoint the old patriarch" Xiao Mei and Song Jia were happy to know that they will have more resources, their parents could not give them more resources because they were just managers in one branch, not the bosses.

"The clan will not meddle in your affair with Liu Yang, I can assure you, on the contrary, you will receive support on this matter. Those who tried to intimidate you two will be punished according to the seriousness of the situation. "The old man spoke casually, but his words contained hidden intentions.

"Old patriarch, this is ..." Xiao Mei didn't want to make it look like she was with Liu Yang because of the resources, she loved him with all her heart. She didn't want others to see her as a vixen who seduced another woman's husband because of wealth. Song Jia also didn't want to be seen that way.

"I understand your thinking, but you don't have to worry about that. There are not many people who know about their relationship with Liu Yang, they also will not comment on that. Since nobody wants problems with those groups "The old man spoke mysteriously, he knew a few things about Liu Yang's parents.

"If the old patriarch spoke like that, we will trust you" Xiao Mei and Song Jia thanked the old man.

"Don't worry about it, this is the most I can do for you. Besides, I owe it to that damn old woman. As for your parents, they will be the new boss in your branch.

"We thank the old patriarch for this"

"You two can come back, the arrangements have already been made, I will make the announcement tonight" The old man waved his hand and the two girls were sent out of the hut.

"It looks like the Xiao clan got a good connection this time ... That's all I can do for the clan if they can't see that this is good for them. The clan will suffer heavy losses "The old man sighed when he thought of that possibility. He was already old and could not protect the clan forever.

…

Outside the hut, Xiao Mei and Song Jia got into the car again and were taken to the main mansion by Xuan Hua. She was waiting for the two girls in the car.

The car returned and headed for the guest mansion, the home for the special guests. Unlike the ordinary guesthouse, the special house was simpler and smaller, but the amount of defensive magic was greater and much safer. Only special guests were allowed to use this house.

The special house looked like an ordinary house on the outside, but inside there was everything the guest needed to be safe and have a good rest. In the territory of the Xiao clan, there were many such houses.

When the car arrived in front of these houses, those who were watching noticed that the two girls inside the car had very special identities. Despite being members of one of the branches of the Xiao clan, for them to be able to enter one of these houses, this showed that the former patriarch highly valued the two girls. This further aroused everyone's curiosity.

The news about two beautiful girls from a branch of the Xiao clan appearing spread through the main clan, most importantly that they were invited by the former patriarch and allowed them to use the houses for special guests.

The clan was warned about the welcome party for the two girls.

Some young men from the Xiao clan were interested in the beauty of the two girls, but they did not dare go to the house, because without their permission, no one was allowed to come near. Those were the rules.

Xiao Mei and Song Jia were surprised when they saw the interior of the house. The place was simple but beautiful and cozy. They rested a little before getting ready for the night party.

At nightfall…

The welcome party will take place in the ballroom of the main mansion. The place was already fully decorated and lit.

The guests were wearing high society clothes, suits, and elegant dresses. Each person at the site was a member of the main clan of the Xiao clan. They were already eating and drinking while talking, the atmosphere was happy and fun.

Suddenly, the lights on the place went out. Two lights focused on the entrance, the door was opened and two beautiful young women entered, they were wearing green and blue dresses. The dresses were beautiful with a heightened feminine beauty for the two girls, their hair curled in a braid shape and the light makeup made them two beautiful goddesses. The two girls Xiao Mei and Song Jia, the special guests at the party.
