Well!
What's going on, boss?
Why isn't he saying anything?
Why was the way he looked at me so strange?
Every second, a question mark popped into Yan Yirou's mind.
Under the scrutinizing gaze of the powerful figure, she gradually lowered her head, feeling as if she were about to kneel down.
Fog Baby, help me!
"sit……"
Before Old Master Qi could finish speaking, Yan Yirou's legs suddenly went weak, and she knelt down before him.
There was a loud thud.
Yan Yirou's knees slammed onto the floor, a truly embarrassing scene. She forgot all about the pain. The teacup in her hand was snatched away by Old Master Qi the moment she knelt down, otherwise she might have suffered even more serious injuries.
This scene made everyone else in the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy freeze in shock.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Old Master Qi, who was sitting down: "..."
Yan Yirou, kneeling: "..."
Their eyes met.
Grandpa Qi reflected: Did I say sit or kneel?
Yan Yirou was dumbfounded: Is it too late to dig a hole and crawl in?
Even Shangguan Wu, who was watching from afar, was stunned!
She knew Yan Yirou wanted to see the village chief, but she didn't expect her to perform such a grand ceremony.
It was...shocking.
However, the atmosphere couldn't remain so tense. Shangguan Wu came out from behind the counter with a sweet smile: "Grandpa, you've already accepted this cup of tea from your granddaughter-in-law. If you have anything to say, please let Rou Rou get up and we can talk about it."
She helped Yan Yirou to her feet.
"Okay... Huh? Where did I get a grandson?" Old Master Qi was almost led astray by her.
Shangguan Wu blinked and said with a smile, "You're my grandfather, and Rou Rou is my third brother's girlfriend, so we're family too!"
Only she would come up with such a connection to him!
Grandpa Qi raised an eyebrow; it seemed the Gu family treated her well.
That's good too. He and Lao Huang will have to go back sooner or later. With someone protecting her, they can rest assured.
Grandpa Qi took a sip of tea and looked at her: "Well, you can go now. I'll have a chat with my granddaughter-in-law."
Shangguan Wu feigned jealousy: "Can't I listen?"
"I'm tired of looking at you, hurry up and leave," Old Master Qi said in a disdainful tone.
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched, and he turned and walked back to the counter.
Yan, granddaughter-in-law Yi Rou: "..."
The supermodel Wu Bao has sent an even bigger golden thigh, I have to hug her!
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the old man: "Hello, Grandpa!"
Grandpa Qi nodded: "Please sit down."
"Oh." Yan Yirou sat upright in the chair, looking just like when she was called to the teacher's office for a talk in school, appearing exceptionally well-behaved.
Grandpa Qi asked casually, "How long have you known Wu girl?"
Yan Yirou replied, "It's been more than half a year."
With time running out, Old Master Qi could only probe indirectly: "Do you know a young lady surnamed Xia?"
"Surname Xia?"
Yan Yirou was taken aback. The big boss was asking this question, so it must be related to Wu Bao. Suddenly, a name she had forgotten came to mind: "Are you talking about Xia Zilu?"
She deliberately lowered her voice.
Grandpa Qi glanced at her discreetly, showing he was quite perceptive.
"Hmm." He nodded slightly.
Yan Yirou said in a low voice, "That Xia woman is no good. Wu Bao kindly saved her mother, but she used Wu Bao as a stepping stone to befriend many rich people, hoping to marry into a top-tier wealthy family and live a life of luxury."
When Wu Bao found out, she immediately broke off all contact with her. However, the woman surnamed Xia wasn't one to give up easily, so the Fourth Young Master sent people to keep an eye on her, ensuring she wouldn't cause any trouble!
After she finished speaking, she clenched her right fist, her expression filled with righteous indignation.
I see!
Grandpa Qi narrowed his eyes: "Did Wu tell you all this?"
"no……"
Yan Yirou's mouth moved faster than her brain. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had said the wrong thing. Her eyes darted around in a panic. What should she do?
What do we do now?
Should she try to smooth things over?
Yan Yirou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Grandpa Qi glanced at her indifferently, sipping his tea with the nonchalant air of a hermit.
Suddenly, Yan Yirou had a flash of inspiration: "Grandpa, Wu Bao told me not to tell her, please don't tell her, I'm the one who told you!"
As she said this, she feigned a troubled expression.
However, with such limited skills, how could they possibly fool the shrewd and experienced Old Master Qi?
However, Grandpa Qi didn't expose her, and of course, he didn't say anything.
In Yan Yirou's mind, a little voice sang with tears in its eyes: "The scariest thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet..."
The next second, she quickly shook her head.
This is what a duel between masters looks like.
If she weren't the one sitting in front of the village chief, she would be happy to see this, but now, she feels like she's about to turn into Barbie Q!
Please, please.
Whether I live or die, please give me an answer, sir.
Yan Yirou muttered to herself, stealing a glance, then another…
Just as she was rolling her eyes, Old Master Qi finally spoke up: "I won't tell her."
He couldn't bear to watch.
It's so spicy it hurts my eyes.
Otherwise, he worried that her family would cause trouble if a pretty young girl turned into a comedian.
Yan Yirou let out a long sigh of relief.
She was terrified!
But something seemed off, and she asked in confusion, "Grandpa, how do you know Xia Zilu?"
"We just bumped into each other on the way here," Old Master Qi said casually.
Yan Yirou's eyes widened in excitement: "Ah? She's come to the capital?"
Shangguan Wu looked in the direction of the sound and asked curiously, "Who has come to the capital?"
"Someone you don't know." Yan Yirou subconsciously kept it from her.
