Changyuan on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month
Zhao Xiaoyue sat in a mahogany armchair, looking at the eight people below, "Where's Lao Jiu?"
The person sitting in the chair today is the helmsman, not their little niece.
His calm and reserved demeanor, coupled with his imposing presence, made Hou Taotao and his companions dare not act recklessly in the slightest.
"Steward, I've made a call. Lao Jiu says there's a traffic jam on the road."
Old Eight still felt a little guilty after he finished speaking.
After waiting for about half an hour, Lao Jiu finally arrived at Changyuan.
"I'm sorry, helmsman!"
Zhao Xiaoyue twirled the celadon teacup in her hand. After about seven or eight minutes, President Zhao spoke up.
"Meeting!"
Hou Taotao and others stood up in unison to pay their respects on both sides of the conference table.
"Take the helm!"
"sit!"
Old Nine remained standing, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. The helmsman hadn't told him to sit, so he had to stay standing.
While Lao Jiu was feeling uneasy, he heard the leader say, "Let's review the itinerary of these three days, including who you slept with each night."
His sharp gaze pierced Lao Jiu, sending a chill down Lao Jiu's spine.
"I'll take the helm."
"This is the third time already."
Zhao Xiaoyue asked, "I'll give you ten minutes to defend yourself."
Hou Taotao wanted to scold him, but Zhao Xiaoyue stopped him with a look.
"I'm sorry!" Old Nine lowered his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Xiaoyue raised her hand.
Whoosh!
Everyone gasped in shock.
Hiss~~
The celadon tea lid flew over Lao Jiu's head and landed firmly on the wooden carving behind him, cracking the carving instantly.
A few strands of Lao Jiu's hair drifted down to the ground.
"Don't make me ask a second time!"
Everyone held their breath, "Just say it!"
Zhao Xiaoyue wasn't angry. Someone who had gone through thick and thin with Sixth Grandfather should be fine. The only concern was that he might be simple-minded and someone could take advantage of him.
It's impossible for anyone here not to know how important the 28th of each year is.
Why is it that only the ninth brother is late? There must be a reason!
