"Greetings, Master!"
Although she was in a bad mood, Ye Qingqing still went over to say hello, as it was basic courtesy.
Master Nie looked up at her for a long while, then asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Qingqing twitched the corner of her mouth. Was she really that unrecognizable?
It's only been less than three months since we last met!
My cousin nudged the master and whispered in his ear, "This pretty young lady is Xiaotong's older sister. She came to our house last time and brought a lot of medicinal herbs. You even told me to throw them in the trash."
My cousin really didn't want to complain about the master. Everyone outside said he was the smartest person, but she just thought he was incredibly stupid. He couldn't lift a finger, he was a picky eater who only ate junk food, and he couldn't even speak properly. He would get into a fight with people after only three sentences...
If my cousin really wanted to complain, she could talk for three days and three nights without repeating herself.
She was genuinely glad that her two sons weren't as stupid as Master Nie. One was a construction foreman, and the other was a doctor. They were both doing quite well and had even given her a grandson. They were much better off than her old bachelor cousin who couldn't even cook noodles.
Therefore, my cousin doesn't really 'respect' the master at home. If she's unhappy, she'll slap him a few times, just like raising a son. If he doesn't listen, she'll scold him, and if she gets impatient, she'll even hit him.
"Oh, oh... Hello."
Although his cousin reminded him, the master still couldn't remember. That night, he didn't look at Ye Qingqing at all; he was focused on his precious disciple the whole time. He politely replied, then fell silent, and the air became still.
My cousin rolled her eyes and comforted me, "Don't worry too much. Xiaotong has a lucky face. This time it will definitely be a close call, and she'll be home soon."
"Hmm... I hope Xiaotong is alright." Ye Qingqing nodded, chatted briefly with her cousin, and then returned to Lu Mo's place.
Master Nie sat like a Bodhisattva. She wasn't familiar with her cousin, and the conversation was awkward the whole time. Besides, she wasn't in the mood for chatting.
After Ye Qingqing left, her cousin scolded her in a low voice, "That young girl was so anxious, you should at least say something nice to comfort her. You don't understand anything, no wonder you can't find a boyfriend... You're almost fifty after the New Year. Luckily, your uncle and aunt are gone, so they don't have to be driven to death by you."
Master Nie closed his eyes, like an old monk in deep meditation, automatically blocking out his cousin's rambling.
What's the point of marriage? It just means having another person in the family to control you, forbidding this and that. If you can't do whatever you want in life, what's the point of living? You might as well die early and be reborn sooner.
And my cousin is wrong. It's him who looks down on those women. As soon as he wants to get married, a bunch of women will pounce on him. Humph!
He's very popular!
Lu Mo had already sorted out his thoughts. He looked at Si Haoxing, who was still sobbing, and his eyes turned cold as he asked again, "Did Xiao Tong really not tell you she was going to the bathroom?"
Sihou Xing's heart skipped a beat, his eyes filled with panic. He forced himself to calm down and shook his head resolutely, "No, I don't even know when he went there. I was talking to Nakamura Yue at the time."
"Is it because Youjiang is too enthusiastic about winning the bid?" Lu Mo asked again.
Sihou Xing didn't understand what he meant by asking these questions. After considering it for a while, he carefully replied, "It's mainly because we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's very happy to see each other again."
Lu Mo gave a slight, cold laugh, and asked meaningfully, "Do you really think Xiao Tong can come back?"
Sihao Xing's eyes flickered, and he said firmly, "He'll definitely come back. I'm waiting for him to come back so we can play chess together!"
"Thank you for your kind words!"
Lu Mo stopped asking questions, found Fang Yanming, and said definitively, "Sihaoxing is either the mastermind or an accomplice. Let's take him into custody."
