Chapter 1276 - 1276 Familiar
1276 Familiar
Old master Chu smiled. “I wasn’t too sure just now. But now that I’m close, I feel like I didn’t see wrongly. The two of you don’t seem to be such ordinary people. I think you must be business tycoons, right?”
Jiang Yu was stunned. She did not expect old master Chu to be so observant.
She was confident that as an actress, she could act out the ordinary feelings of a passerby. However, when she turned to look at Mo Long, she realized that his aura … It really wasn’t something that could be covered by an ordinary plaid shirt.
Even though he had already transformed him into a middle-aged man and even put on the cheapest plaid shirt for him, it was still difficult to hide the temperament that seeped out of Mo Long’s bones.
Therefore, Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly and said, “Hello, old master Chu. We’re just a normal couple. You’re overthinking it. We’re not some business tycoon.”
“Yes, we’re ordinary people,” Mo Long agreed.
However, old master Chu would not be so easily deceived.
He had been living for 70 years and had been in the business world for so many years. His judgment of people had long been trained to the point of perfection. He could guarantee that the middle-aged man in front of him was definitely not as ordinary as he looked.
“Would the two of you like to come with me to the inner courtyard?” He asked.
Although it was a question, the bodyguards behind him had already made way for Jiang Yu and Mo Long.
Jiang Yu looked at the situation in front of her and could not help but criticize in her heart. “It seems like the Chu family’s way of socializing is quite special.”
Now that things had come to this, she and Mo Long no longer had any reason to refuse, so they entered the inner courtyard.
It just so happened that Kang Xue’s father had left. The only person who knew the two of them had left, so Jiang Yu was not worried anymore. The fake Mo Long had only seen her before and should not have seen Mo Long in person.
Old master Chu smiled as he arranged their seats and asked the servants to pour them red wine. He smiled and said, “This is a red wine from the Farry Institute, ranked in the top ten in the world. Please try it and see if it’s to your taste.”
Jiang Yu took a sip and said with a smile, “how would people like us know about red wine? Old master Chu, aren’t you making things difficult for us?”
Mo Long also took a sip and continued, “indeed. I don’t know what other advantages and disadvantages this red wine has other than being delicious.”
Old master Chu looked at them with a smile and didn’t say anything, as if he was doubting whether they were telling the truth or not.
At this moment, Chu Jie walked over with her arm around the fake Mo Long’s arm. The moment she saw the middle-aged couple at the table, the disdain on her face was abnormally obvious. “Grandpa, why did you bring such a person into the inner court? Look at them, they must be very dirty!”
Old master Chu said, “Chu Jie, how can you say that? She’s here to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, and you’re talking to her like this?”
“I don’t wish for such a person to appear at my coming of age ceremony,” Chu Jie said disdainfully.
“You naughty child, are you?” Old master Chu’s face fell. “If you continue to be like this, do you think President Mo will like you?”
“Of course!” Chu Jie smiled as she stuck close to the fake Mo Long and said triumphantly, “Mr. Mo Long said that I’m different from other women. He’ll never get sick of me.”
Jiang Yu almost laughed out loud when she heard that.
Chu Jie’s brain was really not working well. This was obviously a lie, and she actually believed it?
The fake Mo Long did not agree with Chu Jie’s words. Instead, he kept looking at the man and woman in front of him. He felt that they looked very familiar, but he could not remember where he had met them before.
Jiang Yu noticed the look in the fake Mo Long’s eyes, so she quickly smiled and said, “Aiya, boorish people like us can’t enjoy such good things. I think we should leave first.”
As she said that, she pulled Mo Long’s hand and stood up to leave.
“Hold on,” Old master Chu got the bodyguards to block their way. “The two of you have extraordinary auras, but you’re wearing ordinary clothes and mingling in the crowd. Do you have any ulterior motives?”
“I already said that we’re not.” Jiang Yu frowned and explained. “We are really just two ordinary people. No matter how you look at us today, we can’t make a flower out of nothing.”
“This lady, what you said is not convincing at all.” Old master Chu smiled. “I’m now suspecting that you’ve come to my granddaughter’s coming-of-age ceremony with impure intentions. So, I can’t let you go.”
