"Then let’s go in and have a seat, but I need to change my identity. After all, I’ve spent so ti here before, and I don’t want to be recognized!"
Bai Xiaofan initially didn’t want to agree, but when he saw the eager look in Yaoyao’s eyes, he couldn’t bear to refuse, so he waved his hand and altered his appearance slightly!
Instantly, Bai Xiaofan, who was sitting in front of Yaoyao and the others, turned into a scholarly, average-looking person whom no one would glance at twice on the street. Bai Xiaofan even adjusted his height to a normal 1.75 ters!
"My Yurong is always so forward-thinking!"
As he spoke, Bai Xiaofan pulled out a pair of glasses from his pocket and placed them on his nose!
This was purchased during a shopping trip with Xiong Yourong, who spent thousands on them, saying it was currently trendy to wear glasses!
"Wow, Uncle, you look so ordinary now, not handso at all!"
Looking at the transford Bai Xiaofan, Yaoyao pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
In her eyes, Bai Xiaofan’s original appearance was much more attractive; the current look was just too plain and lacked the previous domineering aura!
"Let’s go!"
With a chuckle, Bai Xiaofan patted Yaoyao’s little head, opened the car door, and stepped out first.
"Please, co inside!"
As soon as the four entered the shop, a young man ca to greet them. It was Gao Qiu, the young man who had persistently pestered him to learn the art of jade carving before.
They ordered so wine and dishes, and soon enough, everything was served.
During this, Bai Xiaofan noticed a burly figure, but compared to before, he seed much thinner.
"Are you four here for tourism, or just passing by?"
As Bai Xiaofan was observing Gao Shengnan, she wiped her hands on her apron, approached the group of four, and asked with a smile.
"Just passing by, grabbing a bite because we got hungry!"
Yaoyao replied cheerfully while ignoring any impression, eating heartily as if worried that soone might snatch her food away.
After a brief chat, Gao Shengnan went to attend to other custors, only glancing over Bai Xiaofan without a second look.
Clearly, after performing his disguise, Gao Shengnan couldn’t recognize Bai Xiaofan anymore.
This made Bai Xiaofan quite happy.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside, as if there was an argunt, and among the voices, Bai Xiaofan instantly recognized one as Gao Shengnan’s!
Although he didn’t want to reconnect with Gao Shengnan, Bai Xiaofan still hoped to help out, given they knew each other once.
Not only Bai Xiaofan and his friends looked out, but many custors in the shop had already gone outside to see the commotion.
People, after all, love to satisfy their curiosity.
"Gao Shengnan, don’t make this difficult for yourself. This shop has been vacant for half a year, and now our company is in charge of developing this street. If you deliberately hinder us, you’re going against our boss!"
A bald guy with a big gold chain around his neck, flanked by a group of henchn, was loudly confronting Gao Shengnan, who stood at the entrance of a shuttered shop.
anwhile, each of his henchn was holding a bottle of beer, drinking and swearing dirty words.
"Fanyue Little Shop? Nice na!"
Yaoyao whispered as she glanced at the plaque above the shop behind Gao Shengnan.
Bai Xiaofan had no comnt on this.
"Bald Zhao, I don’t care how long this shop has been closed, but the shop was bought by soone, so on what grounds do you want to tear it down? I know what you guys want. You want to seize this shop and resell it, right? Don’t feed that nonsense about city appearance!"
Despite the opposing group having twenty to thirty people, Gao Shengnan fearlessly glared at them, with arms akimbo and a kitchen knife in hand.
"Don’t be a fool. I’m being nice by not taking action against you. If you really piss off, believe , I’ll have my brothers deal with you!"
Bald Zhao, a thug, clearly wasn’t easy to deal with. Seeing that Gao Shengnan didn’t back down, he signaled his n to surround both Gao Shengnan and the shop behind her!
"What are you doing? The owner of this shop is acquainted with Boss Zheng Yang. Do you not even respect Boss Zheng?"
At this mont, Gao Qiu pushed his way through the crowd, weapon in hand, pointing at Bald Zhao as he shouted.
"Don’t ntion Zheng Yang to . Who does he think he is? He’s got his own problems to deal with now!"
Bald Zhao retorted disdainfully, showing no fear of Zheng Yang.
Everyone on this street knew that the original owner of this shop was acquainted with Zheng Yang; how could he not know?
However, their boss was currently dealing with Zheng Yang, who himself was in hot water and wouldn’t have the energy to handle these matters.
"What was the relationship between the original shop owner and the proprietress? Why is she so protective?"
Listening to the argunt ahead, Yaoyao turned her head to a nearby custor and curiously asked.
Normally, this custor wouldn’t be willing to answer such questions, but who could resist a pretty face?
Seeing that a beauty was asking, the guy started talking.
"I can’t really say what their relationship was. I only know that the shop owner ca here during the new year, bought this shop, and opened it. The proprietress and her brother seed to have a good relationship with him."
"Speaking of this shop, it was remarkable. Even a simple Jade Pendant would sell for tens of thousands, and many big bosses would rush over to buy it!"
"But that person stayed here for half a year and then left. No one knows when he left, but he never returned!"
"Based on our guesses, the proprietress probably had a special relationship with that boss. You wouldn’t know, but the proprietress was usually very fierce and never kind to anyone, but she was always much gentler when talking to him!"
This guy had stayed on this street for a long ti and knew a lot!
"By the way, do you know what that person’s na was?"
Yaoyao pouted and nodded, then continued to ask.
"I don’t really know. Not many people on this street know his na. He either stayed in the shop carving Jade Pendants or was in the proprietress’s restaurant eating. There used to be an old man who was close to him, but after that person left, the old man also went away!"
"But, I rember Gao Qiu called him Brother Fan, and I overheard soone calling him Mr. Bai a few tis. So maybe his na is sothing like Bai Xiaofan?"
This guy shrugged, eager to spill every bit of news he knew, seeing how interested the beauty was.
Bai Xiaofan?
Almost instantly, Yaoyao and Xiaoqing turned their eyes to Bai Xiaofan.
They rembered Bai Xiaofan ntioning before that he’d spent so ti on this street!
Could it be...
Fanyue Little Shop?
Fanyue...
Understanding the significance of the na, Yaoyao was already certain that the person was Bai Xiaofan.
The shop’s na was clearly taken from Bai Xiaofan and Murong Yue’s nas, wasn’t it?
