Having been around for so many years, Zhou Xia naturally knew how to lie easily. "I was short of money at the time, and it was thanks to the Gao family that I was able to earn money for emergencies. When Mr. Xu told me that you were coming to Jiang City, I thought of meeting you."
Upon hearing this, Gao Sheng couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Zhou is also a capable person; she's a boss now."
"But I still can't forget the kindness the Gao family has shown me."
Zhou Xia picked up a glass of red wine and poured some for Gao Sheng.
"Hahaha!"
Gao Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, Xu Mu took out his phone and glanced at it. "Mr. Gao, something suddenly comes up here, I have to go out for a bit. Let Sister Zhou talk to you."
Gao Sheng was about to say something when Zhou Xia took his arm and said, "Mr. Gao, let's have a drink first."
"good."
Gao Sheng nodded.
...
After Xu Mu left, he went to the next room.
Song Nuanyang and Han Tianqing were both sitting there when Xu Mu came over and started eating meat skewers.
"Xu Mu, I want to thank you for removing the Gu worms from my body."
Song Nuanyang took the initiative to raise her glass and drink the beer.
"Don't mention it. You're Ye Yu's good friend, so naturally you're my good friend too."
Xu Mu drank a cup as well. "I will refine the fire dates as soon as possible, and I can send them to you in the next day or two."
Upon hearing about the fire dates, black words appeared above Song Nuanyang's head.
[Favorability +10]
Thank you.
Song Nuanyang smiled.
Xu Mu sensed that the preparations had already begun on the other side.
He shook his head slightly, then asked, "Has Zhou Xia always been like this?"
"Aside from this kind of thing, Sister Xia is a very good person. I was very fortunate to have been taken care of by Sister Xia when I was in the sect."
Han Tianqing explained from the other side.
"I've watched Zhou Xia grow up; her background is quite pitiful."
Song Nuanyang picked up a piece of grilled fish and told him what she knew.
Zhou Xia originally lived in a mountain village not far from the Yin Yang Sect. Her father found her a stepmother, and she was beaten every day.
Once, she rebelled and hit her stepmother with a brick. Her father then nearly broke her leg with a shovel.
After that, she ran away from home and by chance found the Yin Yang Sect.
When she first arrived at the Yin Yang Sect, she was targeted just like everyone else. She had a round face and was quite chubby, so many people mocked her.
However, she was quick-witted, worked hard to lose weight and cultivate her skills, and in the end, she became the Seventh Elder's woman.
Later, the Seventh Elder died outside, and Song Nuanyang took her in.
Han Tianqing listened to Song Nuanyang's story with surprise, as Zhou Xia had never told her these things before.
Xu Mu and Song Nuanyang chatted for more than half an hour.
There was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, revealing Zhou Xia and Gao Sheng standing in the doorway.
Gao Sheng walked over with a big smile when he saw Xu Mu.
As soon as he arrived in front of Xu Mu, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Holy crap? Mr. Gao, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Mu was surprised and grabbed Gao Sheng's arm, pulling him up.
Gao Sheng looked somewhat embarrassed. "I'm getting old, and my legs are a bit weak."
"Mr. Xu, Lao Gao said he still has things to do."
Zhou Xia chuckled beside her.
"That's right, Young Master Xu, could you give me a ride?"
Gao Sheng immediately pulled Xu Mu away.
The two quickly walked outside the bar, and Gao Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Xu, your friend is simply..."
Gao Sheng lit a cigarette, saying, "My soul is being sucked away."
