Chapter 387: Zhou Zining

She had just walked over when Xiao Ba, originally flying in circles, suddenly rushed toward Nan Jiaojiao, fiercely pulling and clawing at the cage, shaking it into the air, and almost smashing it into Nan Jiaojiao’s face.

“The ugly monster strikes again!”

Well, it was deliberately targeting her.

Nan Jiaojiao stared at it, “I warn you, you’re forbidden to become a spirit.

Behave like a simple bird, or I will report you.”

Xiao Ba suddenly became quiet.

Probably using its simple-minded brain to ponder the meaning of its existence.

Soon, having ended its contemplation, it started shouting, “You’re ugly!”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in surprise.

This was a classic case of lacking bird sense.

She had been gorgeous for twenty-something years, and now she was humiliated by a bird.

Wouldn’t this be embarrassing if word got out?

“You really need some education!”

Nan Jiaojiao reached in and gently tapped Xiao Ba’s head with two fingers.

Using little force, the parrot dramatically pretended to faint, falling from mid-air.

Panicking, she reached out to catch it, accidentally pulling out two feathers.

“Ugly monster, ugly monster, my feathers, my feathers!”

Xiao Ba suddenly came back to life, its roar tinged with a tragic note.

Nan Jiaojiao, looking at the two feathers in her hand, was bewildered.

“Sorry, how about I try to put them back in for you?”

Bo Qingshan laughed heartily beside her.

Nan Jiaojiao, no longer caring about losing face, knew she had to do something as Xiao Ba’s wailing could bring everyone in the house over soon.

She really wanted to calm it down but couldn’t find a way, only twisting the feathers in her hand as she reached into the cage.

Suddenly, from the side, a delicate rebuke came, “What are you doing!”

Nan Jiaojiao, startled, forgot to withdraw her hand, hearing the rapid footsteps approaching.

Then, her hand was slapped.

A strange woman took the cage away, looking at the feathers scattered on the ground with a pained expression, but her voice was harsh when she addressed Nan Jiaojiao.

“Where did you come from that you dare to intrude into the Bo Family’s backyard?

Do you know Xiao Ba is Grandmother’s favorite?

What were you doing just now, mistreating it?”

After a slight surprise, Nan Jiaojiao calmed down, “Sorry, I was just playing with it.”

“Playing?”

The woman’s eyes narrowed, “Xiao Ba is very precious.

I spent a lot of money when I bought it.

You couldn’t afford even one feather!”

“Fourth Aunt, Sister Jiaojiao didn’t mean it.

She’s very familiar with Xiao Ba.

How could she possibly hurt it?” Bo Qingshan tried to mediate.

Zhou Zining didn’t extend her anger to Bo Qingshan but her expression was still unfriendly, “I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?”

“I was also here.

Are my words also false?” Bo Qingshan’s face became stern, his eyes reflecting some of Bo Yanching’s firmness.

Zhou Zining glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, but when she looked back, her tone softened a bit, “I’m not accusing you, but Qingshan, there aren’t many things Grandmother loves.

Don’t encourage outsiders to upset her.

If Xiao Ba really gets hurt, it’s like hurting Grandmother’s heart.

Be sensible and don’t bring just anyone home.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She wasn’t foolish; she could read the underlying message.

This person must be a significant figure in the Bo Family.

She was warning Bo Qingshan because as the homeowner, she was covering for him but also scolding Nan Jiaojiao, the outsider, not to meddle with the owner’s possessions.

Her words pinched at her own status, but her posture was too haughty, looking down on others through narrowed eyes.
