Chapter 53 I'm not the kind of person who minds those things
Xu Chuchu had no choice but to sit back down and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"That's right." Xiao Yu looked away casually. "...Didn't you say that after you left, you'd ask Ah Fu to tell me something? He already said it tonight."
Xu Chuchu almost vomited blood when he heard this.
No, she had only just left, barely finished her meal, how could so much have happened? One moment she was talking about a case, the next moment she was saying Ah Fu had passed on a message... How could it have taken so long?
"So?" she asked dryly.
Xiao Yu quickly stole a glance at Xu Chuchu's reaction. Seeing that she looked unhappy, she could only bite the bullet and say, "So, I want to say... well, there's nothing wrong with it. Yes, it's pretty good."
"What?" Xu Chuchu frowned when she heard it. "You think it's acceptable for a girl to approach you out of ulterior motives rather than sincerity?"
She made it so clear to Ah Fu that it was ok for Shao Zhi to be an acquaintance, but a deep friendship would definitely harm her. So there's nothing wrong with that, right?
Is Xiao Yu blinded by lard?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu nodded with a firm look on his face: "Of course, everyone has selfish motives. A real man should be more tolerant towards girls. I am not the kind of person who minds those things."
This is clear enough, she can understand it, right?
"I think you're not only tolerant, but you're also a bit crazy." Xu Chuchu stood up, still angry. "From now on, whether you mind or not, I don't care anymore. Don't come to me and complain. If you get hurt in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Humph, not only did he not listen to the advice, but he also called her back to refute it, and his tone was sarcastic. What a KY weirdo!
"Hey, Master Xu!" Xiao Yu called out in a hurry, but in vain.
He was completely confused. What was going on? What did he say wrong? Why did he suddenly get angry?
She just has some plans for him, he doesn't care, no matter whether she is practicing or making money.
He even wished that there was something about him that Xu Chuchu could use, so that they could make use of each other and cooperate for mutual benefit. Isn't that possible?
…
The next day, despite holding her breath, Xu Chuchu still fulfilled her promise and agreed to accompany Xiao Yu to investigate Shao Zhi's case.
Actually, after sitting for a while after I came back last night, I wasn't angry anymore. The main thing is that we are friends after all, so we should be considerate of each other.
Yes, it was all for friendship and had nothing to do with the thick stack of banknotes he sent me.
Xu Chuchu had packed up and was about to go out when the maid who was cleaning the side rooms suddenly came over and handed her a set of women's dress, saying that Xiao Yu had asked her to change into it.
Xu Chuchu was puzzled: "What does he mean? Didn't he ask me to go out and handle the case?"
The maid was in charge of cleaning the rooms in this area and was already familiar with Xu Chuchu. She smiled and said, "It's about investigating a case. The young master said that this case is special. Please conceal your identity as a physiognomist for now and deal with it as you go."
Xu Chuchu had no choice but to agree.
She returned to her room to change out of her Taoist robe and put on a new dress. She discovered that this one was of much higher quality than the one Ah Fu had prepared for her before. It had several layers inside and out, and she couldn't figure out how to put it on for a long time.
Seeing Xu Chuchu in a panic, the maid held back her laughter and came over to help. She also took the initiative to comb her bun into a youthful and lively girlish bun.
"Xiangshi Xu looks even better like this!" The maid was also very happy to see her "masterpiece". "With a new dress, she is even more beautiful than Miss Shao."
"No way, I'm prettier than her even when I wear a Taoist robe." Xu Chuchu also smiled, "Thank you very much."
After Xu Chuchu had sorted everything out, she realized that the time had passed, so she hurried to meet up with the others.
From a distance, she saw Xiao Yu, Shao Zhi, Afu and others standing together and talking. She found that it was only one night, but this guy's dark circles were even darker, like a national treasure. It was likely that he had not slept all night, and no one knew what he had been doing.
Xiao Yu was the first to see Xu Chuchu. He seemed to be shocked by her outfit today, and his body was visibly stiff.
"You, you're here." He greeted her haltingly.
It was really beautiful, and it was worth it that he found an excuse to let her change into a dress.
Shao Zhi was completely focused on Xiao Yu, so she thought she was just a servant. She noticed Xiao Yu's unusual reaction, and then saw who it was, and her expression suddenly twisted.
Xu Chuchu? Didn't she leave? I saw Ah Fu send her off with my own eyes, so why is she showing up again today?
She's wearing such a sexy skirt, who is she trying to seduce?
Shao Zhi had seen Xu Chuchu in women's clothing before, but she vaguely felt that her temperament and appearance were different from before, and she even seemed to be taller...
I'm afraid some kind of witchcraft must have been used! I don't know how much powder he put on his face!
Ah Fu, who was standing by, lost his temper and blurted out, "Xiangshi Xu?! Didn't you leave yesterday?"
No way, he just finished saying bad things about those two girls yesterday, and now they're all gathered together? Are they here to kill him and silence him?
Thinking of the previous "open and secret struggles" between the two, Ah Fu felt that it was very likely.
"I asked her to come back." Xiao Yu finally came to his senses. "Since other fortune tellers are involved in this case, we need someone knowledgeable to be present to avoid being led around by the nose."
Shao Zhi felt dizzy again after hearing this.
Could it be that she was the one who created the opportunity for Xiao Yu to invite this woman back?
What about the involvement of other fortune tellers? Who was it yesterday who kept saying, "Wills have nothing to do with summoning spirits," and "Wills must be handed over to officials who can identify handwriting to determine their authenticity"? Now they're related?
She almost bit her silver teeth to pieces!
No, patience, patience. She was sure that the fortune teller over there was more skilled than Xu Chuchu. As long as Xu Chuchu was outmatched, Xiao Yu would no longer have much interest in her.
She just couldn't believe that she and Xiao Yu had known each other for such a long time, yet she could be worse than an ugly and lowly maid.
"Let's go now that everyone is here." Xiao Yu ordered, "Miss Shao, please lead the way."
Shao Zhi told everyone that the wealthy businessman who got into trouble was surnamed Lu, and his residence was close to the most prosperous commercial street in Tailing County. Although he was not the richest man in Tailing, he was also a well-known figure in the county.
His family relationships were not complicated. His father died early, and his mother raised him and his brother, and they did not interact much with other relatives.
The elder of the two brothers is a writer, while the younger is a businessman. The writer never achieved much and is still living off his parents.
The businessman, that is, the wealthy businessman who died suddenly of illness this time, was more clever. He made a lot of money by selling cloth when he was young. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger. The entire Lu family, including the brother's family of three, were supported by the wealthy businessman's money.
"Brother Yu, Ah Zhi has already had the carriage prepared." Shao Zhi finished introducing the Lu family's background and said with a smile, "Let's go directly to the wealthy merchant's house. I notified the lady and the fortune teller yesterday to wait at the mansion."
