Xia Tian chuckled and said, "Brother Ma, it's all because you're so charming. I felt a sense of familiarity with you the moment I saw you. And Xiao Jie, she also felt an instant connection with you."
Ma Yunfei really couldn't understand how he had become a womanizer.
Ma Yunfei walked to the window, pulled the curtains open a crack, and looked outside.
From the second floor, he could see the street scene at a glance. Suddenly, he saw Xia Jiufa standing opposite the inn, using a big tree as cover, staring intently at the inn's door.
"Tianmei, something bad has happened! You said you'd shaken off your tail, come quick, your dad is standing right across from the inn."
Summer was startled. She ran to the window and looked out, exclaiming in surprise, "That's strange! I clearly shook off my dad in the store, so how did he follow me to the hotel?"
“Tianmei, maybe your father sent someone else. Although he managed to shake off your father, he didn’t shake off the other person. That person saw you enter the inn and told your father, so your father is guarding the inn’s entrance.”
Xia Tian asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
Ma Yunfei smiled and said, "I was prepared. When I came to City A this time, I borrowed someone else's ID card to register at the hotel. I thought: Your dad must have checked the registration book just now, because he didn't see my name, so he can't be sure that you came to see me yet."
"Brother Ma, you're so clever! You actually pulled off a switcheroo."
"Tianmei, I was forced into this situation. Your dad treats me like a thief."
"Brother Ma, how am I going to explain this to my dad when I go out later?"
"Just tell him that the abbot is feeling a bit tired, so take him to this hotel, have him register, and let him stay there for now. Tomorrow, take him to the store to buy things. Tell your father that the abbot is getting married and is preparing to buy wedding supplies."
Xia Tian chuckled and said with satisfaction, "My dad's spying went unnoticed this time."
"Tianmei, this incident shows that your father is a cunning old fox. After we meet today, let's not see each other again. If your father finds out that you were dating me, then we'll be in trouble."
Xia Tian said unhappily, "My dad is really something, why does he treat you like your natural enemy?"
"Sigh! There's nothing I can do."
While the abbot was in the restroom, Ma Yunfei told Xia Tian, "I didn't tell the abbot the truth about teaching Xiao Jie's ex-husband a lesson. I just lied and said that the kid offended me because I didn't want the abbot to know that I had another god-sister."
“Brother Ma, I understand now. No wonder you were hesitant and seemed preoccupied just now.”
"Tianmei, tomorrow the abbot and I will keep watch near Xiaojie's ex-husband's house to figure out his routine and then find an opportunity to make our move."
"Brother Ma, you and the abbot should both be careful."
“Once we make a move, we’ll leave City A. I’ll call you when I get back to Qinglong Town.”
Summer sat for a while longer before leaving the inn.
As soon as he stepped out of the hotel, Xia Jiufa came up to him, looking very unhappy.
"Girl, let me ask you: What are you doing at the hotel?"
"Dad, you're really meddling! Didn't I tell you when I left that I was taking the abbot to the store to buy things?"
"Hmph! Just now, you two went into the store, walked around for a bit, and left. I asked you: Why didn't you buy anything?"
“Dad, the abbot got up before dawn today and drove hundreds of kilometers with the car. He has some back pain and said he wants to rest for a while and buy things tomorrow. So, I took him to this hotel to register a room.”
Xia Jiu asked, "What does the abbot want to buy? Why go to such lengths?"
"Dad, the abbot is getting married, and he needs to buy all the wedding supplies. Do you think he can buy them all at once? It will take at least a whole day."
Xia Jiu sighed and said, "I thought that kid Ma Yunfei had come again. He didn't dare to come to the company, so he secretly asked you to meet him at the hotel."
“Dad, Ma Yunfei isn’t a thief or a bad person. Why are you treating him like a thief? That’s not fair to Brother Ma.”
"Hmph! That kid has ulterior motives. I think he's up to no good with you. Daughter, you must be vigilant. Ma Yunfei has been married before and is a country bumpkin. No matter how you look at it, he and you are not on the same side. Our relationship with him is just a business transaction."
"Dad, actually, I look down on Ma Yunfei. I became sworn siblings with him just to trap him and get him to send yams to our company."
"Girl, are you telling the truth?"
“Dad, think about it. Ma Yunfei is average-looking and not very capable. I heard he's just a primary school student. He and I are from completely different worlds. Do you think a college student like me would look down on a primary school student? Impossible. Besides, I'm from the city, and he's from the countryside, covered in mud. Even though I'm friendly with him, it's all an act. It's just to win him over and do long-term business with him.”
Xia Jiufa glanced at Xia Tian and wondered to himself: I wonder if what my daughter said is true?
In Xia Jiufa's opinion, his daughter had developed feelings for Ma Yunfei, and the way she hugged him didn't seem like she was faking it.
But thinking about it carefully: my daughter is a college student and a city dweller, how could she possibly fall for a primary school student and a country person?
After much deliberation, Ma Yunfei still couldn't make up his mind.
He decided that he still needed to be extremely wary of Ma Yunfei and not let him seduce his daughter.
The next morning, Ma Yunfei and the abbot had breakfast at the hotel, then took a taxi to Xiao Jie's ex-husband's house.
Xiao Jie's ex-husband lived in an old residential area, and Ma Yunfei had the taxi stop at the entrance of the area.
After they got out of the car, Ma Yunfei took out two baseball caps from his backpack and said, "Abbot, put on your hats and pull the brims down a little."
Ma Yunfei then pulled out two more face masks.
The two hid in a corner near the gate, their eyes fixed on it.
All morning, no trace of Xiaojie's ex-husband was found.
At noon, the two of them went into a small restaurant nearby.
Just after ordering, Ma Yunfei was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Jie's ex-husband walked out of the community gate and headed straight for the restaurant.
Judging from his appearance, he was going to have lunch at this restaurant.
"Abbot, that guy is here."
The two pulled down the brims of their baseball caps, and Ma Yunfei took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
Ma Yunfei had dealt with Xiaojie's ex-husband before and didn't want him to recognize him.
Xiao Jie's ex-husband went into the restaurant, ordered two dishes and two bottles of beer, and sat down to drink by himself.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be living a pretty carefree life.
The proprietress ran to Xiaojie's ex-husband's table and asked, "Handsome, you said last time you wanted to remarry your ex-wife, how's that going?"
