When only Mu Shicang and Feng Tang were left in the private room, the air seemed to become condensed all of a sudden.
Feng Tang still stood there without moving, until Mu Shicang took the initiative and raised his chin: "Mr. Feng, please sit down."
Feng Tang then sat down, but he was even more nervous than before and didn't know how to start.
The person in front of him was smiling warmly, but he inexplicably felt cold all over. In the end, it was Mu Shicang who started the conversation first.
"It's not difficult to ask Gong Zelan for someone, but I want to hear what you heard in Huacheng." While speaking, he habitually pushed his glasses. Many people who wear glasses will have this action, but most people will look cramped or nervous when doing this.
But what he did was the opposite, making others feel nervous, as if an emperor was about to issue an order.
Feng Tang sat opposite him, his hands on his legs clenched into fists at some point. Under his seemingly gentle gaze, he felt like a prisoner being interrogated, inexplicably guilty. He hated himself for being like this, but was powerless to change.
Under such a gaze, I could only slowly and with difficulty speak out my words, which I had already polished thousands of times.
"One of my classmates opened an agency... well, it should be called a detective agency. They've always had good business. One time, we were having tea, and he told me something. He said that some important people in Jinjing asked him to investigate the Ji family..."
Having said this, Mu Shicang suddenly raised his half-closed eyes. It was as if Wen Ya was swallowed by a monster in the blink of an eye. The person in front of him had completely changed and turned into a cold sharp blade.
Feng Tang's words were naturally frozen. He looked at Mu Shicang's eyes looking at him. Those were clearly a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and they could have been smiling and full of joy just now, but at this moment, he felt as if he was in a dark hell. He felt as if he saw the red-faced evil ghost with horns.
"Mr. Feng, is this all you want to tell me?" Mu Shicang's lips were actually still raised, but the smile did not spread in his eyes, but was frozen there.
When Feng Tang heard his voice, his body suddenly trembled violently and he shook his head violently: "Master Xiao Mu, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely don't mean to threaten you. I just want to sell you some information that may be useful to you."
"Oh? Why do you think your information is useful to me? Since you know that I am sending people to investigate the Ji family, you should know everything about the Ji family, right?"
Feng Tang swallowed hard and mustered up his courage to say, "No, my classmate is quite capable in the industry, but he's still an outsider after all. There are some things he might not be able to find out. However, it's different for the people of the Ji family. One of my cousins happens to be the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Ji family's branch, and she's heard some things."
"Oh? You seem very confident. Why don't you tell me about it and see if it's worth it for me to talk to Gong Zelan?"
Feng Tang bit his lower lip, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously.
…………………………
Yang Shushu wanted to leave, but Feng Qing held her back and wouldn't let her go. She looked as if Mu Shicang had drugged her.
Fortunately, the tea and snacks here are delicious, so she can still bear it.
Just when Feng Qing pulled her and insisted on playing games with her, Mu Shicang knocked on the door and came in.
Seeing Mu Shicang, Feng Qing changed her sassy attitude towards her and looked at her like a good girl who ranked first in her grade: "Little Master Mu... have you finished talking... with my brother?"
Mu Shicang smiled gently at him, not feeling at all ashamed of being a grown man teasing a little girl like this: "Yes, thank you for accompanying my wife, this is a gift for you."
As he spoke, a small blue-pink box appeared in his hand. Feng Qing exclaimed in surprise, "It's a limited edition snack from 'Park'. Can it still be bought at this time?"
"Well... maybe their business is not good today, so there are some leftovers." Mu Shicang handed the snacks to Feng Qing with a gentle smile.
Feng Qing took it with a flushed face and said crisply, "Thank you, Master Xiaomu."
He smiled and held out his hand to Yang Shushu. Yang Shushu curled her lips, but still stood up and followed him out of the private room. After they were out of the door, she whispered, "You don't even let little girls go. You're such a scumbag."
She knew about "Park", but she had never been there. The things there were extremely expensive, and even if you had money you might not be able to buy them. When she was working part-time before, she heard from the girls she worked with that those socialites in the upper class would show off by being able to reserve a table there or buy limited edition snacks.
Although she didn't know what was so popular about a coffee shop that also sold dim sum, it was indeed the case.
Mu Shicang was in a good mood at the moment, looking at her as if he were looking at some rare treasure: "Is Shushu jealous?"
Yang Shushu felt numb all over because of his sticky eyes. She took two steps back from him and said, "You think too much."
As she spoke, she went downstairs. But when she got downstairs, she saw Yang Li again. When Yang Li saw her and Mu Shicang coming down one after the other, he quickly came up to them and said, "Shushu, brother-in-law, you guys are finally down. I was so worried about you."
Yang Shushu rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously: "What are you worried about? Wasn't this caused by you?"
"Shushu, you can't say that. It's obvious that they planned this long ago." Yang Li rubbed his hands and looked at Mu Shicang flatteringly: "Right? Brother-in-law?"
Mu Shicang had a cold smile on his face. Without saying a word, he made Yang Li give up. He actually had other purposes in staying, but Yang Shushu didn't want to pay attention to her. If it weren't for her parents' face, she wouldn't bother to care about his life or death.
Yang Li quickly chased Yang Shushu out, and at the same time did not forget to apologize to Mu Shicang.
"Shushu, Shushu, don't walk so fast, wait for me."
"What are you waiting for? I'm just avoiding you. Don't talk to me. Nothing good will happen if you speak." This was the case when the original body was around. Whenever Yang Li looked like he wanted to say something to her, it was either to ask for money or to do something.
But in the end, she was still held back by Yang Li: "Shushu, I am your brother after all, can you please not treat me like this? It's really embarrassing."
"Do you still have the nerve? Do you want to save face?" Yang Shushu retorted without any hesitation, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.
Yang Li felt a pang in his heart when he saw her eyes: "Shushu, you weren't like this before, why are you suddenly..."
"..." Damn, I almost forgot that this guy is her original body's brother after all, and he has a certain understanding of her.
At this time, Mu Shicang had already walked not far behind the two of them. She simply stiffened her neck and said arrogantly: "I used to lie to my parents and Brother Ling. Now that Brother Ling is gone, who can I lie to? I'm telling you, if you dare to let my parents know that I'm like this, don't recognize me as your sister anymore."
