Little Qing, your brother-in-law!
I’m not so Mr. Xu, the grand official!
I originally thought that after toiling away for a whole day, I would finally be able to soak in a hot bath and then lie down on a big bed with a rubber mattress, sleeping comfortably until daylight, but I never realized I was actually entering such a small inn.
However, since I’ve co, I didn’t bother looking for another place.
Although I grumbled in my heart, I was still the first to get out of the car.
After Wu Qiyi got out of the car, she was slightly frowning and asked a maid beside her, "Who arranged this?"
"Replying to miss, this was arranged by the old madam before she left. She instructed this servant to bring miss and the groom to this place no matter what."
Since it was her grandmother’s orders, Wu Qiyi didn’t bla anyone and followed Zhao’er’s steps towards the small inn.
To call it an inn, it actually looked more like a guesthouse built on the side of a mountain, with babbling streams and quite a picturesque scene; moreover, there were no noisy residences around and the nearest village was more than ten kiloters away.
Standing at the entrance of the inn, looking at the white-flowered hedges in front of and the dozen or so free-range chickens pecking in the yard, I said for no reason, "I’ve been here when I was a kid."
Looking up again at the "concave"-shaped courtyard in front of , even though it had been renovated and many familiar scenes had disappeared, its overall feel hadn’t changed. It’s just that too much ti had passed, which prevented from recognizing it right away.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
"Wait."
Reaching out, I grabbed Wu Qiyi’s arm as she turned her head with a puzzled look, "What’s wrong?"
"Before that, let’s have the person hiding in the dark co out."
"Person hiding in the dark?"
Hearing say that, Wu Qiyi’s complexion imdiately changed.
With her naturally sensitive nerves, she naturally assud that the so-called "person in the dark" would pose a threat to us.
"Hey, do you really think you can show off in front of with these little tricks? Co out now, or if you keep hiding, beware I’ll make you all hold hands and kneel in front of to sing ’Conquer’!"
Just as Wu Qiyi was feeling perplexed, a familiar voice ca from the inn’s guest room, "Didn’t I tell you? Your damn invisibility talisman is useless! Let alone Old Shu’s eyes that can see through everything, just his nose alone can sll the fishy scent on you."
Soon, Yang Kai, Xiao Feng, Nie Ying, and Han Lele walked out from one of the inn’s rooms.
"Why are you guys here?" Wu Qiyi was clearly surprised by their appearance.
With my arms crossed, I looked at Yang Kai and Xiao Feng with a mischievous glint in my eye, "Co clean and you’ll be treated leniently; I’m giving you two three seconds to explain."
It didn’t take three seconds; as soon as the words left my mouth, Yang Kai had already raised his hands in surrender, "I confess, don’t get physical. Honestly, I also don’t know why we ca here. Last night, Madman called , saying that we were going on a spur-of-the-mont couples trip."
"What?"
Seeing my eyebrows raise, Xiao Feng, who knew all my mannerisms, imdiately clarified, "Honestly, I didn’t know what we were supposed to do here either. Mother En called yesterday at noon. She told to bring Lele and another couple, oh, not a pair of dogs, but a couple to Little Qing’s inn to wait for you."
Hearing it was arranged by Mother En, my brows couldn’t help but furrow.
I initially thought we were only coming here to pay respects to Grandpa En, but I didn’t expect such a scene.
Feeling sowhat of a headache, I scratched my head.
Forget it, don’t think about it!
Anyway, it was Mother En who arranged this, so it couldn’t possibly harm . I might as well treat it as a trip.
With that thought in mind, you saw the two couples—oh no, the lovers—entering the hotel lobby.
After taking a bath, seven people sat around a large round table in the courtyard, dining under the open air with laughter and conversation.
The dinner wasn’t particularly lavish, but the taste was quite unique. It had been a long ti since you had eaten such authentic Minnan cuisine.
"Hey, to be honest, I’m really curious."
Nie Ying glanced at you, Zhao’er, and Wu Qiyi, and then said, "Although I don’t quite understand why the club president’s grandmother called us here, it looks like it should be three couples based on our formation. But now there’s an extra person. Could it be that she wants the president to choose between Zhao’er and Little Yun?"
"Cough cough, wife, we’re just here to make an appearance. Just eat, don’t talk."
Nie Ying, who always spoke her mind, had actually been holding that thought in for a long ti and took the opportunity to express it today.
However, she was only responsible for speaking. Once she’d said her piece, she shrugged off the burden and completely detached herself from the situation, acting as a re spectator.
As everyone was speaking, suddenly a rapid screeching of brakes ca from outside the fence!
When everyone turned to look, they saw a familiar figure. Your vision was better than everyone else’s, and you recognized the person at a glance, showing a look of shock mixed with bewildernt on your face.
As the figure approached, Yang Kai rubbed his eyes: "Huh? Isn’t that Xian Qianling, the Crazy Woman..."
"Bang!"
An orange suddenly flew over and hit Yang Kai accurately on the forehead.
"Deserve it! That’s what you get for having a loose tongue!" Xiao Feng said with schadenfreude. "Aside from Little Yunyun, anyone who uses that nickna in her presence is asking for trouble."
"I got too excited and forgot about that."
Yang Kai held his swollen forehead, his face filled with gloom as he watched Xian Qianling getting closer.
"Crazy Woman, what are you doing here?"
Xian Qianling, on seeing Yang Kai and others’ faces clearly, seed equally surprised: "Xiao Feng, Yang Kai? How co you guys are here too?"
The surprise on her face didn’t seem fake. With her notorious temperant, there was absolutely no need for her to feign such an expression.
"You answer my question first."
Hearing you say that, Xian Qianling took out a kraft paper envelope from her pocket and flipped it toward you.
Yang Kai, standing in front of you, caught it first, pulled out a letter and a photo from the envelope, and after quickly scanning them, he suddenly laughed: "Clearly, Captain Xian, you’ve been set up, and the one who did it must be Aunt Xiao."
"Which Aunt Xiao?"
You didn’t react at once and imdiately asked, but as soon as the words left your mouth, you understood. That Aunt Xiao was indeed your good-for-nothing mother.
Afterward, the letter was passed around and read by everyone. The content was simple. It stated that you would be taking Zhao’er to Mother En’s location for a private wedding, and it was clearly stated that you and Zhao’er would be staying at Little Qing’s hotel tonight, which was why Xian Qianling rushed over after driving more than seven hundred kiloters.
Such a straightforward letter would prompt anyone else to confirm by phone imdiately, but only Xian Qianling, the Crazy Woman, would rush over in such a frantic manner. After all, when it ca to dealing with personal emotions, she was no different from a teenage girl, incredibly naive.
As for the photo, it was just two plane tickets with your and Zhao’er’s nas on them, Wu Qiyi was not included in the photo. If Wu Qiyi had been included, Xian Qianling probably wouldn’t have raced over but would have called Wu Qiyi to confirm beforehand instead.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but at this mont, the old radio belonging to the hotel owner happened to play an old song: "The Young Monk goes down the mountain to beg for alms, the Old Monk has given instructions, the won at the foot of the mountain are tigresses, if you encounter one, you must avoid them at all costs..."
