"I don't know either. That woman is nice to me one minute and not nice to me the next. It's driving me crazy."
As Sisi came out of the clothing and jewelry shop behind the store, she saw Lao Bai gazing deeply into the eyes of a beggar on the bustling street...
Sisi shuddered and walked towards Lao Bai. "Lao Bai, have you changed your taste?"
Mo Zhu turned around when she heard someone talking to Lao Bai. Upon seeing Si Si, Mo Zhu immediately knelt down. "Sixth Miss, help!"
Sisi's baby fat hasn't gone away yet; she still looks the same as when she was little, only now she's grown from a small size to a medium size.
Mo Zhu is different. He has grown from a boy into a man and has experienced so much. Not only has his physique changed, but even his voice has changed.
Sisi looked at Lao Bai. "Who is he?"
Mo Zhu quickly brushed the messy hair off her face, looked up at Si Si, and said, "Sixth Miss, I am Mo Zhu. I offended you the first time I met you, and you had Master Bai slap me."
Mo Zhu? Her father's former servant? "How did you end up like this?"
Old Bai: "After the Yun family was exiled, he was bought by a woman. That woman was sometimes nice to him and sometimes not. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he escaped. Even after he escaped, that woman wouldn't let him go. I asked him why that woman treated him that way, but he didn't know."
Sisi looked at Mozhu's face again. Still the same as before? Hasn't he changed much as he's grown up? "You look like her sweetheart?"
I can't think of anything else besides this.
Hmm... there's another possibility. "Or, you look like her enemy?"
Mo Zhu didn't know: "One moment he's like a sweetheart, the next he's like an enemy."
Sisi rolled her eyes inwardly. Wasn't that the same as saying nothing at all? "Old Bai, buy him a few steamed buns to tide him over, then take him to wash up properly, and then buy him a couple of new outfits. I'll go back to the inn after I finish eating and wait for you there."
"Alright! Let's go."
Mo Zhu kowtowed to Si Si again before getting up. "Thank you, Sixth Miss."
After Lao Bai left with Mo Zhu, Si Si walked towards the restaurant next door.
The waiter at the restaurant hesitated when he saw that Sisi was alone. "Miss, are you here for dinner? Where are your attendants?"
Sisi waved.
Four burly men suddenly appeared from the side.
The waiter greeting the guest was speechless. Why did he ask? This young lady was clearly not some naive and innocent girl unaware of the harsh realities of life. "Miss, please come in. We also have private rooms upstairs."
"No need, the lobby will do."
"Okay. Miss, what would you like to eat?"
What are some of your signature dishes?
The waiter named a few dishes.
Sisi first ordered one of each item, then looked at the guards behind her and said, "You can order a few more of your favorite dishes."
"Yes, thank you, Miss."
"Um."
After the dishes were served, Sisi ate while listening to the conversations of the diners around her.
As she listened, another person appeared beside her. "Little girl, are these four men your family's guards or bodyguards you hired?"
Sisi looked up at the newcomer, who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old and was holding a fan. "How are the guards? How are the bodyguards?"
"If you're talking about bodyguards, sell me one; I'll pay a high price. But if you're talking about personal guards, you're way too reckless. Aren't you afraid they might get into some shady business on the way?"
Sisi smiled. "I'm not afraid."
Bodyguards? Bodyguards are great!
The man pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Sisi. "Little girl, I want to talk to you about something."
"you say."
"I'll give you ten thousand taels, give them four ten thousand taels each, and then consider it as if we hired them together, okay?"
"Twenty thousand taels."
"make a deal."
The man took out four silver notes, each worth ten thousand taels. He gave two to Sisi first, then looked at the guards and asked, "Which of you four is the leader?"
The guards looked at Sisi.
The man assumed the guards wanted to obtain Sisi's consent. "She already consented; she's already accepted my silver notes."
Sisi: "They mean I'm their leader."
The man was stunned. "You...your family runs a security escort agency?"
"Yes." She really does own a security escort agency.
The man gave the remaining two silver notes to Sisi. "I thought you were lying to me earlier."
Sisi looked into the man's eyes and said, "I never lie. Besides, you have excellent taste."
The man was pleased to hear Sisi say he had a good eye for talent. "Of course! Your four bodyguards are clearly experts. Am I right?"
"Yes. Buddy, bring another set of chopsticks and a bowl."
"Alright!" Even a meal can lead to a big business deal. When fortune smiles upon you, there's no stopping it!
After the waiter brought over the bowls and chopsticks, Sisi asked the man to order two more dishes.
As the man picked up some food, he looked at Sisi and asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why I spent so much money hiring someone to protect me?"
"You killed someone?"
"No."
"Did you break the law?"
"No."
"Then it's alright."
"...Aren't you afraid that the person who's going to cause me trouble is really powerful?"
"I'm not afraid."
"..." Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! "Miss, what's your name?"
"Hei Qingyang, what about you?"
"Su Haoxuan".
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
After finishing their meal, Sisi took Su Haoxuan back to the inn. Sisi didn't ask Su Haoxuan where they were going, and Su Haoxuan didn't say either.
More than an hour later, Lao Bai returned with Mo Zhu. Mo Zhu had already cleaned up.
