Chapter 165: Conspiracies All Around (2)
Seeing their expressions, Leng Ruoxue was really confused. She would have found it a little cute if it was Freak making such expressions. But no one would be able to stand two middle-aged men with strong facial features and burly statures pretending to be pitiful!
“Ruoxue, they…” Mo Yingyue felt her hair stand on end. She really didn’t know what to say.
“Hello, Empress Mo. I am Guo Yong, and he’s Guo Qiang. We are brothers,” the man who claimed to be Guo Yong introduced.
Guo Yong, Guo Qiang! Aren’t they the president and vice president of the Artificer Association Headquarters? Mo Yingyue was surprised. Are they really those two? Or… do they just have the same names?
Rumor had it that Guo Yong and Guo Qiang were the only two Supreme Artificers on the Ling Feng Continent. Their master, the founder of the Artificer Association, had disappeared for many years. And many people even speculated that their master was no longer around.
Therefore, she really couldn’t understand why they addressed Rouxue as junior aunt.
“Uh, hello.” Mo Yingyue turned to look at Leng Ruoxue, her eyes full of question marks.
But the words ‘Don’t ask me’ were written all over Leng Ruoxue’s face…
In fact, Leng Ruoxue had only just learned the names of these two people. She didn’t even have an impression of their names, so it was naturally impossible for her to know that these two middle-aged men who called her junior aunt were the famous big bosses of the Artificer Association.
However, the others present were not as calm as Leng Ruoxue, especially those who didn’t know their identities just now. They almost fainted from excitement when they heard the names of the two people. They were their idols!
It was unknown who started it, but in the blink of an eye, Guo Yong and Guo Qiang were surrounded…
Mo Yingyue pulled Leng Ruoxue to the side and asked softly, “Ruoxue, do you know their identities?”
“No,” Leng Ruoxue answered honestly.
“They should be the president and vice president of the Artificer Association,” Mo Yingyue said helplessly. I was right. Ruoxue really doesn’t know.
“Oh,” Leng Ruoxue answered lightly.
“Ruoxue, isn’t your reaction a little too calm?” Mo Yingyue was a little speechless. Ruoxue, can you not be so calm!
“Otherwise?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“…”
“Pretend I didn’t say anything.” Mo Yingyue felt a little helpless. Am I too inexperienced?
“Big Sister Mo, find a place to sit for a while. I’ll take a look over there.” Leng Ruoxue’s sharp eyes saw her grandfather calling her.
“Okay, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.” She had to find Mingyue so that she wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Leng Ruoxue walked to her grandfather and asked softly, “Grandpa, you called me?”
“Xue’er, those two people have very high statuses!” Leng Qingtian reminded. He didn’t expect them to be…
“Grandpa, don’t they call me junior aunt? You don’t have to worry,” Leng Ruoxue comforted. Since they took the initiative to come to her door, they must have some ulterior motive. But they had to pay the price if they wanted to use her.
“Okay.” Leng Qingtian nodded. He felt very relieved about his granddaughter.
“Miss, it’s time.” Feng Da walked over.
“Please take the guests to their seats!” Leng Ruoxue ordered.
The first day of business was the grand opening celebration of the Prosperity Pavilion, so it wasn’t open to the public today, and the guests invited were all from prominent families.
After Feng Da led the guests to their seats, Leng Qingtian thanked them as a general and directly ordered the dishes to be served.
When everyone saw the dishes that they had never seen before and smelled the enticing fragrance, they all felt that their saliva was about to flow out.
“What is everyone looking at? I won’t take your money today. Don’t be scared. Just eat!” Leng Qingtian joked happily.
“Who’s afraid?” Lin Liang didn’t stand on ceremony as he took the lead to pick up a piece of alluring red meat and put it in his mouth. The meat melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and its fragrance overflowed, almost causing him to bite off his tongue…
“Old Leng, who made this dish?” Lin Liang asked while eating.
“Didn’t I tell you?” Leng Qingtian rolled his eyes at Lin Liang.
“It’s really them? Amazing!”
“Tch, look at who trained them,” Leng Qingtian said proudly.
“Look at how proud you are,” Lin Liang said angrily. Wasn’t this old man just relying on his good granddaughter? What was there to be so arrogant about!
“What kind of food is this? It’s so unpalatable. She wants to open a restaurant with this standard!” Mo Mingyue harrumphed in disdain. She just wanted to cause trouble. She didn’t believe that Leng Ruoxue would dare to do anything to her.
“Mingyue, shut up,” Mo Yingyue growled unhappily. She really didn’t understand why Mingyue had to find trouble with Ruoxue. Ruoxue didn’t provoke her.
Unfortunately, Mo Mingyue’s voice was too loud, and it attracted everyone’s attention.
“Miss Mo, you might not know this, but Miss Leng opened this restaurant mainly because she was refused entry by the Spring Wind House!” Shui Xinran said with a face full of mockery and a sweet smile full of schadenfreude.
“I see! I knew it. Why would a noble young lady open a restaurant for no reason!” Mo Mingyue was even more pleased with herself when she saw someone supporting her.
“Xinran!” Huo Qing suddenly called out expressionlessly.
“Big Brother Qing!” Shui Xinran immediately changed from being sharp and unkind to being lovable and cute. Her face changed so quickly that people were dumbfounded.
“You don’t have to appear in front of me again,” Huo Qing said coldly.
“Big Brother Qing!” Shui Xinran was shocked, and tears instantly fell like rain. She never dreamed that Big Brother Qing would actually humiliate her so much and say such heartless words in public for Leng Ruoxue…
After hearing Huo Qing’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to Shui Xinran.
The prideful Shui Xinran felt extremely embarrassed. With a swoosh, she stood up and ran away…
“Ruoxue, I’m sorry,” Huo Qing said awkwardly.
