Chapter 170: Said a Few Words
“Auntie, Mr. Shang is up ahead, he…”
The middle-aged woman’s sharp gaze swept over, instantly silencing the young girl beside her. However, she still looked unwillingly at the spot where Shang Jingheng had disappeared. In the end, the middle-aged woman walked far away. Only then did she reluctantly follow her into a private room. She sat there with her eyes rolling around. It was obvious that she was plotting something. She looked at the middle-aged woman and realized that she was on the phone with someone. The girl finally could not sit still. “Auntie, I’m going to the bathroom.”
Without waiting for the middle-aged woman to say anything, she had already slipped out.
The private room on the top floor.
Qin Yiyi and Shang Jingheng walked in and saw that old master Gu was already sitting.
And there was actually someone beside him.
Look, he was even younger than old master Gu. He was in good spirits and full of vigor.
Shang Jingheng might know him, but he did not introduce him to Qin Yiyi. He only nodded at Old Master Gu and helped Qin Yiyi pull out a chair.
“Sit down, Yiyi.”
“Thank you, Big Brother Shang.”
Qin Yiyi smiled and thanked him. She sat down with a calm expression.
Shang Jingheng was telling the other party that he valued her very much. Therefore, it was best for the other party to weigh his options in his heart no matter what she did!
This behavior was blatantly undisguised.
The shrewd old master Gu looked amused and angry at the same time. After glaring at Shang Jingheng, he shook his head and looked at the person beside him.
“Do you see that? He’s guarding against us two old men. He’s afraid that you’ll scare this little girl.”
The other party chuckled, his tone very amiable.
“Why didn’t you say that the merchant boy was afraid that you would scare this little girl?”
The old man raised his hand and pointed at his own face. His face was full of smiles. “Look at how kind, amiable, and approachable my face is. But look at you. You have a straight face all day long. It was fine when you were young, but you don’t know how to smile even when you are old. Your face is so wrinkled that it looks like a citrus that has lost its moisture. You are so ugly!”
Qin Yiyi found it a little funny,
Before she could speak, the two old men had already tripped over their words.
However, she also understood in her heart that old man Gu was trying to adjust the atmosphere. It could be considered as a guarantee for Shang Jingheng.
Even though she knew that she would never suffer any grievances.
She could also clearly see that old man Gu and this old man in front of her were both people with clear eyes and a dignified appearance.
They would never use petty tricks.
However, it was always nice to have someone to protect them.
She looked at Shang Jingheng and smiled sweetly. “I thought Grandpa Gu was alone. It turns out that there are guests.”
Then, she gave old master Gu a meaningful look.
She didn’t want him to feel close to her. If there were any problems or people next time, she would directly kill them first and then beat them up until they were kneeling in front of her!
Old Master Gu’s heart skipped a beat when Qin Yiyi looked at him.
He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He had said that this girl looked like she was smiling and easy to talk to, but in reality, she knew everything in her heart!
Forget it, it was his fault this time.
Could an old man like him bully a little girl?
He coughed lightly and looked at Qin Yiyi with a serious expression, “Girl, Grandpa can’t do anything about it. This person is your Grandpa Gu’s childhood friend. He has been abroad all these years and has only returned in the last few years. He really has no other choice but to pester me to find you. Grandpa Gu didn’t say much. No matter what it is, you can do as you see fit. If you can’t help, just tell me so. Your Grandpa Zhou will never blame you.”
After pausing for a moment, old master Gu added another sentence.
“Oh right, if you feel that you can help, you can name your price. This old man doesn’t have much, but he has lots of money.”
“You old thing, is there anyone who introduces people like you?”
Old Master Zhou shook his head, but his tone was friendly and casual.
It could be seen that the relationship between the two elders was really good.
Qin Yiyi had her own principles. She would not casually agree to anything just because of a few words or a few introducers.
Even though she had a very good impression of old master Zhou at the moment.
She picked up the tea beside her hand and took a sip. Qin Yiyi lowered her eyes.
“There are no outsiders here. I might as well ask Grandpa Zhou. Do you want to seek wealth or to protect people?”
Qin Yiyi’s words immediately made the smile on Old Master Zhou’s face stiffen.
He opened his mouth, and in the end, a bitter smile appeared on his face, “I was wondering why this old thing kept praising you, a little girl, to the heavens. He even said that other than you, there was probably no other person who could solve this matter. I am now convinced.”
“Haha, are you convinced? Let me tell you, this is my granddaughter!”
The way he showed off made Old Master Zhou speechless.
“I’m not going to fight with you.”
“Even if you fight with me, you can’t beat me!”
“I have a much better eye than you. Look at the mess in your family. If it were up to me, you should just let it go and let them do their own thing.” Old Master Gu said righteously. As he said that, he carefully glanced at Qin Yiyi. He had already belittled this old man to such a good-for-nothing. This girl wouldn’t get close to Old Zhou again, right?
This was his granddaughter!
No one could snatch her away from him!
Old Master Zhou,”…”
After Qin Yiyi said those words, she sat there drinking tea with a smile on her face.
Occasionally, she would glance sideways at Shang Jingheng and chat with him with a smile.
Until the waiter served the dishes and filled the entire table.
Qin Yiyi was very considerate as he helped the two old masters with the dishes. Old Master Gu couldn’t help but grumble in his happiness.
“You’ve basked in my glory. Otherwise, how could you enjoy such good fortune?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ve basked in your glory. It’s all thanks to you, okay?”
Old Master Zhou smiled helplessly. While he lowered his head to eat, his impression of Qin Yiyi grew even stronger in his heart!
To be able to make this good friend and childhood friend of his value and praise her so much…
It seemed that this girl was really quite different from the rest.
With his mind full of worries, Old Master Zhou did not eat as much food, but he ate slowly.
Therefore, when Qin Yiyi was about to finish eating…
Old Master Zhou also stopped eating. Old Master Gu, on the other hand, ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
He was happy!
Qin Yiyi waited for the waiter to remove the bowl and chopsticks, then leave after making the tea.
She thought for a moment and raised her head to look at Old Master Zhou, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, “It’s fine if you don’t want to say or if you don’t trust me, but since Grandpa Gu and you have been friends since we were young and you have appeared in front of me, this is fate. As for me, this person has always looked at fate. You seem to be quite pleasing to the eye…”
Pausing for a moment, she lowered her eyes and said softly, “If Grandpa Zhou trusts me, then hand over the things in your hands.”
When the other party heard these words, his entire body trembled.
“You, you really know?”
