Indeed, the three n in the car imdiately shifted their focus, united by a common cause.
Xiao Bai turned his head and glared, "Chuchu, such a big thing happened, and you didn’t even tell ? Do you still acknowledge as your Second Brother? Just wait until the day you’re quietly taken away to prison, with no one in heaven or earth able to answer your calls for help!"
Jiang Kechu also disapproved, "Next ti sothing like this happens, rember to call . Don’t always think about handling it alone."
Even Old Sir Zhong said, "Young lady, this approach of yours isn’t good. Unity is strength. Rest assured, this sort of thing won’t happen again."
Chuchu: "..."
Who have I provoked now? Isn’t it all for your sake?
Great!
Now you all are pointing your spears at .
But the situation is stronger than the person, so she could only smile appeasingly and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely seek you out in the future."
But in her heart, she thought, if she saw Zheng Yun again, she would definitely give him a good beating.
Arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Kechu called for the best private room here.
Seeing Jiang Kechu get things organized so familiarly, Xiao Bai’s eyes rolled and he asked Chuchu, "What’s the relationship between this restaurant and Jiang Kechu."
Uh...
Can’t you, Second Brother, not be so sharp?
Chuchu blinked, trying to muddle through, only for Jiang Kechu to openly take over the conversation, saying:
"This restaurant is opened by and two friends. Today, I was planning to bring Chuchu here to get to know so people so that she can have soone to rely on if anything happens in the future."
Hearing it was for Chuchu’s sake, Xiao Bai huffed and did not speak, turning his head to chat with Old Sir Zhong again.
Li Shan noticed that although the old master was still not smiling much today, he seed much more animated than before, and he even discovered a word that didn’t quite fit with the old master: benevolence.
Yes, benevolence!
Old Sir Zhong was very benevolent when facing Chuchu and Xiao Bai, nearly responsive to every remark.
This was quite in contrast to usual. In the past, if Li Shan spoke ten sentences to the old master, getting three in response was considered good.
This was too weird.
Chuchu also noticed that sothing was off with Old Sir Zhong. After so thought, she cautiously asked, "Grandpa Zhong, have you had so happy event recently?"
Old Sir Zhong paused before replying, "Seeing all you lively young people makes happy."
Chuchu: "..."
I didn’t see you happy when you saw Mai Qiqi before.
Xiao Bai, however, cheerfully took over the conversation, "It’s right for Old Sir Zhong to be happy. If you don’t mind us bothering you, Chuchu and I will visit you often."
Li Shan and Chuchu initially thought the old master would definitely refuse, but to their surprise, he actually nodded, saying, "Hmm, then tomorrow..."
Tomorrow wouldn’t work; he had to send the mother and daughter Zheng Yun away from ho first, then have people over.
So he changed his words to: "Next week, you two co over. Li Shan, you give Xiao Bai our ho address."
Li Shan concealed the shock in his heart and inford Xiao Bai of the old house’s address.
There must be sothing with these two cousins; Li Shan was also anxious to know about the investigation in Wutong County.
Jiang Kechu was observing Old Sir Zhong’s behavior closely. This old master was nothing like what he had heard.
Seeing Jiang Kechu left out, Chuchu pulled him aside to ask him to share so interesting military stories that he could tell.
Jiang Kechu, of course, was more than happy to satisfy Chuchu’s request, so he picked so amusing anecdotes from the army to tell her.
Wan Chu’er couldn’t stop laughing.
Her laughter caught the attention of Old Sir Zhong and Xiao Bai, with Xiao Bai snorting, "Sinister little wretch."
Hearing about military matters, Old Sir Zhong couldn’t help but speak up.
Military matters were all too familiar to Jiang Kechu, who also had his own set of ideas, so the two ended up discussing it together.
Xiao Bai found it inappropriate to interrupt and just gave Wan Chu’er a look: You’re really throwing your lot in with outsiders!
Wan Chu’er responded with a silly face.
Li Shan looked up at the ceiling in silence, studying the patterns intently.
Because Old Sir Zhong was present, the al took two hours to complete.
Jiang Kechu didn’t introduce his friends to Wan Chu’er, thinking it could wait until next ti.
After seeing off the old gentleman at the hotel entrance, Xiao Bai took Wan Chu’er by the arm, "Let’s go, we’re going ho."
Wan Chu’er’s face fell. Here we go again!
Who’s going to rescue her this ti?
With a stern face, Jiang Ke stepped forward and said, "Mr. Bai, I think we need to talk alone instead of putting Chuchu in a difficult position between us."
Their disputes would only trouble Wan Chu’er, and he didn’t want to see her distressed.
Xiao Bai thought for a mont and said, "Alright, I’ll take Chuchu ho first. Let’s et at the XX Bar at 8 tonight, no absence allowed!"
Jiang Ke nodded, "No absence allowed."
Wan Chu’er heaved a silent sigh. Fine, let them settle it however they want to, just not in front of her, just so she wouldn’t have to witness it.
Both held important places in her heart; she didn’t want to see either of them get hurt.
She would only make matters worse if she tried to diate. It would be better to let them solve it themselves.
In the end, Xiao Bai took Wan Chu’er ho, and she could only give Jiang Kechu a smile and a comforting look.
As soon as they got ho, seeing Xiao Bai about to scold her with hands on his hips, Wan Chu’er quickly started, "Second Brother, didn’t you find Old Sir Zhong a bit odd today?"
Xiao Bai was all geared up, but got completely thrown off by Wan Chu’er’s change of topic, choking imdiately.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Wan Chu’er, are you trying to murder your own brother! Cough cough cough..." Xiao Bai glared angrily.
Wan Chu’er quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him with both hands, "I’m sorry, Second Brother."
After Xiao Bai gulped down the water, he shook his finger disapprovingly at the trembling Wan Chu’er.
"You, you, you..."
Seeing that she was on the verge of losing her temper again, Xiao Bai quickly withdrew his finger, asking, "So you’ve also noticed there’s sothing off about Old Sir Zhong?"
Good recognition!
Wan Chu’er put away the anger on her face, recalling the recent events, "That old gentleman used to be like a hovering golden eagle in the blizzard, but today he seed like the gentle old grandpa from next door."
Xiao Bai clapped his hands, "Exactly, Old Sir Zhong was exceptionally gentle with us, but turned into a cold, hard stone when he faced Jiang Kechu."
Although he was quite pleased to see Jiang Kechu in a tight spot, the whole thing felt eerie.
"Seems like he particularly likes us both, could it be we are related to him sohow?"
Wan Chu’er narrowed her eyes and said, "Did you notice, he asked about my grandma, who is your grandma, twice! If he was just concerned about our family, he didn’t ask about my dad, nor your mom."
Xiao Bai thought of a possibility, his eyes and mouth wide open, and after a while, he trembled, "Could it be..."
