Susan nodded knowingly, but her eyes kept darting around, as if she wanted to check again to see if the suspect was still there.

She remained vigilant and tense, fearing that the eavesdropper was still lurking nearby.

"Is Susan looking for someone?"

Chuanliu took a step to the right and came into her line of sight.

Caught off guard by the question, Susan quickly looked away and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing."

The girl abruptly interrupted her thoughts and asked in confusion, "I just saw you come out of the First Yorozuya. I didn't expect you to have something to ask too."

Susan's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface; she chuckled dryly and did not answer the girl's question.

She was completely focused on finding the eavesdropper and had no time to deal with the girl in front of her.

Little did she know, the person she was looking for was precisely the one she was just giving in to.

Chuanliu found it amusing to see Susan's absent-minded look.

She intended to find an excuse to leave, but at that moment, a familiar figure entered her field of vision.

The man who always wore the same white shirt was hurrying towards the First Yorozuya.

His steps seemed hurried, as if something important was waiting for him.

Qian Chuan first exchanged a glance with Susan, but quickly noticed Chuan Liu next to Susan. His eyes swept back and forth between the two, seemingly surprised that they were together, which made him swallow back what he was about to say.

Qian Chuan slowed his pace, his face regaining its usual nonchalant expression. He looked at Susan and Chuan Liu with a half-smile and teased:

"When did you two become so close?"

Susan forced a smile, took Chuanliu's arm, and said, "Mind your own business when it comes to beautiful women."

Chuanliu silently observed the changes in the money string, a strange feeling flashing through her mind.

She had a feeling that the appearance of the money string was not accidental, but rather... as if someone had urgently summoned him.

That's interesting.

She stared at the words "Yorozuya" (Everything Shop) on the building for a long time before turning back to look at the man.

Then, the girl smiled brightly, "As expected of the No. 1 Odd Jobs Shop, it attracts both Sister Susan and Brother Qian Liu to patronize it."

Qian Chuan's peach blossom eyes gleamed with a meaningful light. He carefully examined Chuan Liu, then looked around, and then chuckled, "Since we're already here, let's go in together."

He strode forward, his right arm naturally draped over Chuanliu's neck, and pulled her close.

Seeing this, Susan smiled gracefully, said nothing more, and walked ahead alone.

Qian Chuan pulled Chuan Liu closer and whispered in her ear, "Give me back the '8 of Diamonds' right now!"

Chuanliu's eyes widened, indicating that he had no idea what he was talking about.

Seeing this, Qian Chuan gritted his teeth, put his hand on Chuan Liu's head with a forced smile, and gave him a haphazard rub.

Ignoring the man's childish act of revenge, Chuanliu followed Susan and Qianchuan into the First Yorozuya once again, openly and honestly, while secretly plotting his next move.

The shop assistant recognized the money strings.

Upon seeing Susan and Qian Chuan, one of the shop assistants whispered to the other, and not long after, the shop manager, who had just sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the mysterious person, returned.

When he saw that there was a third person present, he immediately composed himself and adopted his usual manner of greeting guests, "Sister Susan, Brother Qian Liu, you've arrived. Please come in quickly."

Then, his gaze lingered on Chuanliu, "Madam... how about I arrange one for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chuanliu immediately interrupted, "The three of us are together."

“This…” The shop manager hesitated as he looked at the money string.

The store manager was also surprised that this woman was so oblivious to his obvious hints.

In fact, sometimes being "clumsy" is actually a matter of not wanting to be "clumsy".

The store manager seemed to have received a positive answer before saying to Chuanliu, "Okay, ma'am, please come with me."

So he led the three of them into the Yorozuya's VIP room.

With Chuanliu joining them, their original conversation could no longer continue.

For a moment, the VIP room was completely silent.

The shop manager looked slightly awkwardly at the money string directly opposite him, then at the two women on his left and right, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "I'll prepare tea and snacks for the three of you. If you have any questions, you can think about them now and ask me later."

After a while, several shop assistants came up one after another and poured tea for the three of them. Then, at the manager's signal, they left.

The store manager clasped his hands together, his gaze mainly focused on Chuanliu, this "unexpected" person.

However, the girl who had insisted on coming in earlier was now silent.

Adhering to the principle that silence is golden, the girl swirled the teacup lid, turning it clockwise once and counterclockwise once; she gently blew on the surface of the tea, and just as she was about to take a sip, she shook her head and put it down again.

The store manager wanted to say something, but then saw Chuanliu pick up the cup, move his mouth to blow on it twice, and then put it down again.

It went back and forth several times, making people very anxious.

Susan, who was sitting across from Chuanliu, couldn't help but ask in a concerned tone, "Don't you like this tea? I can have someone change it."

Chuanliu looked up, staring intently at the woman. "Sister Susan and the store manager are quite familiar, aren't they?"

Susan glanced at the store manager and replied naturally, "How could someone like me, who frequents the Wuwang District year-round, not have a few connections?"
