Chapter 566 Fighting for the Treasure with Xiao San
Wan Qiqi looked in the direction the hand was pointing and saw a face with a wicked smile appear before her.
His features were slightly sharp, and his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a cunning, playful, and mischievous quality.
In short, when Wan Qiqi saw this face and saw his gorgeous clothes, she felt that this person was not a kind person and even carried a hint of danger.
This person's presence made her instinctively take a step back, wanting to keep her distance.
Xiao Huai held the porcelain bottle, a faint smile curving his lips, seemingly enjoying the feeling of taking things from others.
Jinshizhai shopkeeper: "..."
Xiao Huai clearly disliked this thing, and he was even preparing to put it back.
Based on his understanding of Xiao Huai, he wouldn't give a second glance to anything the other party seemed to care about.
And now...
The manager of Jinshizhai turned his face away and rolled his eyes.
Constrained by his power, he could only grit his teeth and say to Wan Qiqi, "Yes, this gentleman just saw it."
He stubbornly refused to admit that Xiao Huai had said he wanted to.
Xiao Huai remained unchanged, completely ignoring the words of the Jinshizhai shopkeeper.
He then looked up at Wan Qiqi, his smile growing even brighter, and pushed the porcelain bottle forward as if to say: If you like it, I can generously part with it.
Wan Qiqi looked puzzled, but she understood perfectly well what was going on in her mind.
Although she didn't recognize the man, she could tell he was of high status; there was no doubt that he was causing trouble at Jinshizhai.
"This item did indeed come from the Prime Minister's residence of the previous dynasty, and it was even bestowed by the emperor of that dynasty. After the previous dynasty collapsed, the items in the Prime Minister's residence changed hands several times and ended up in the hands of ordinary people."
Xiao Huai spoke slowly, with a touch of languid charm.
He then put the porcelain vase back on the counter.
Jinshizhai shopkeeper: "..."
Isn't this exactly what I just said to Xiao Huai?
How did it turn into Xiao Huai explaining things to his guests?
Wan Qiqi glanced at Xiao Huai, then at the owner of Jinshizhai. She was starting to doubt whether the shop actually belonged to the man in front of her!
The two of them really seem like they're working together to sabotage themselves.
Of course, this was before she saw the shopkeeper's respectful yet disdainful and unspeakable look in his eyes. After seeing that look, Wan Qiqi concluded that the other party had come to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi was once again shocked by Xiao Huai's robber logic, and her eyes were opened!
At this moment, Wu Gousheng rushed over, smiling as he was about to greet Wan Qiqi.
Upon seeing who was standing opposite Wan Qiqi, the smile on his face immediately vanished, and he hesitated as he took the step forward.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, braced himself, and went inside. He stopped beside Wan Qiqi and gently tugged at her skirt.
Wan Qiqi noticed that Wu Gousheng's expression was off, and turned her head to whisper, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Qi, Xiao San, Xiao San!" Wu Gousheng whispered, his head bowed and his teeth clenched, but inwardly he was roaring.
When the name "Xiao San" reached Wan Qiqi's ears, her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at the man in front of her again.
Xiao Huai generously allowed Wan Qiqi to look directly at him, then waved his folding fan twice and said, "Manager Wan, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xiao San, and my given name is Huai."
Wan Qiqi: "..."
Can anyone tell her why she ran into Xiao Huai while shopping?
The main point is that the other party knows me, but I don't know the other party.
"So it's Young Master Xiao, my apologies for not recognizing you." Wan Qiqi gave Xiao Huai a signature fake smile and bowed.
The manager of Jinshizhai was somewhat bewildered.
Manager Wan? What Manager Wan? Did these two know each other before?
"With Xinglong Restaurant doing so well, I didn't expect Manager Wan to have time to go treasure hunting!" Xiao Huai said with a smile, making it impossible to tell what he was up to.
"Doesn't Young Master Xiao also have time to search for treasure?" Wan Qiqi replied with a smile.
The two were like two smiling tigers, each with a smile on their face but harboring their own ulterior motives.
"I am different from Manager Wan. I am just a figurehead in the government, but I don't do any work. In my spare time, I look for treasures and drink tea. My life is quite pleasant, but it lacks some fun."
As Xiao Huai spoke, he looked at Wan Qiqi, as if he could find amusement in her.
What business is it of mine if you're having fun?
Wan Qiqi inwardly complained, but her expression remained calm and impeccable. She then said, "Since it is something that Young Master Xiao has taken a liking to, how dare I take it away? Such a treasure can only show its value when it is paired with Young Master Xiao. If it were in my hands, it would be a trampling on its value!"
Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes as he listened, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being praised.
His smile grew even brighter as he said, "You're quite the articulate girl, knowing the difference between us. So how dare you stand here and talk to me like this? In my house, the maids all kneel to serve me."
Xiao Huai's tone suddenly changed, and his eyes became cold and sharp, giving off a sense of danger.
Wan Qiqi realized that everyone in the Xiao family was sick.
One moment they're laughing and joking with you, the next they're like they're about to kill you.
In modern times, such a person would be locked up in a mental hospital.
Wan Qiqi chuckled, looked up at Xiao Huai, and said, "I have never overstepped my bounds in my dealings with Young Master Xiao, nor am I a maid of the Xiao family. It seems there's no need for me to act as the Third Young Master Xiao suggested, is there?"
Xiao Huai didn't answer. He tilted his head and stared at Wan Qiqi for a while, then laughed and said, "Do you know that, apart from my second sister, no one has ever dared to laugh like this in front of me?"
“Oh, I didn’t know that. I just think smiling is a form of etiquette,” Wan Qiqi said earnestly.
The manager of Jinshizhai stood aside, and the two chatted about various things, their feelings somewhat complicated.
