"I don't know exactly what you mean by 'I owe her,' but I know this is not something you should say," Lu Qingyan said coldly, with a hint of authority at the end.
"From our perspective, you're just an older stranger, and you have no right to ask me to do anything. From Xi Bo's perspective, he's your senior uncle, and it's none of your business as his junior nephew to interfere in his private affairs!"
Lu Qingyan's words made the old monk blush, feeling truly embarrassed.
“Miss Xiao, I never intended to separate you and Xi Bo, and I believe in the fate between you.”
Lu Qingyan listened to the old monk's words and retorted without backing down: "Even if fate is predetermined, you still have to work on it yourself. You think you can persuade me to give up on Xi Bo with just a few words?"
The old monk's face was flushed red and purple: "This humble monk has already said that I did not ask Miss Xiao to give him up."
"So you want Su Meiren to be the other woman?"
The old monk explained, "I just wanted him to spend a few days with Miss Su."
Lu Qingyan retorted sarcastically, "Why don't you talk to Xi Bo? What kind of person do you take him for if you talk to me?"
Lu Qingyan continued, "You chose to tell me these things instead of him, which clearly shows that you think I'm easy to talk to and easy to bully. I'm more curious about whether your identity as a junior disciple is real or not. It's amazing how different you are, having been taught by the same grandmaster. You've even forgotten the most basic principles. Respect for elders and care for the young. According to the rules of the sect, you are still the junior."
The old monk, enraged by what he'd been said, stormed off in a huff. Lu Qingyan, still worried, called Xi Bo and told him about the old monk.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xi Bo said, "So he had already found the person."
It seems Xi Bo does know the truth. Looking for someone? Who? Su Meiren?
"What is the relationship between Su Meiren and him?" Lu Qingyan asked tentatively. If the two people were not related, the old monk would not have come to her with such a shameless face to ask her for this favor.
Xi Bo remained silent for a moment before speaking his thoughts: "If I'm not mistaken, Su Meiren should be his daughter."
What?! (?o?; Lu Qingyan almost dropped her phone, staring at the fact that the old monk, who looked to be over sixty, was actually the father of Su Meiren, who was not even twenty years old!!!)
What...what...what exactly is going on?
Xi Bo did not satisfy Lu Qingyan's curiosity this time, and advised, "This matter cannot be explained in a few words. I will tell you in detail later. But don't worry, I will not get involved with that Su beauty just because I am close to him. You are the only one in my heart."
As Lu Qingyan listened, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.
Xi Bo continued, "Xin'er, come with me to see my master during the winter vacation. We've known each other for so long and I haven't taken you to see him yet. This can't be delayed any longer. Besides, I'm worried that the old monk will go astray and won't listen to anything. He'll run into my master and spout nonsense. If that happens, I'll lose such a good wife like you."
"We'll definitely meet. Are you coming to our house for the New Year this time?" Lu Qingyan squinted, a hint of a smile in her eyes, and drew circles on the table with her index finger.
Xi Bo readily agreed, "I'll leave everything to my wife's arrangements." Finally, he asked Lu Qingyan, "This marriage should be settled as soon as possible. Are you happy?"
Lu Qingyan lowered her voice: "Although I'm a little annoyed that I've only been single for a short time, when I think of you, I don't feel there's anything wrong with it."
