Chapter 301: Chapter 218: Picking Faults!

The one the little boss disdains is exactly the one we should disdain!

Lin Yun immediately rallied her fighting spirit, stepped forward, and was about to say something when Sui Yi had already spoken to Huah Jue, "So your family name is Hua."

Huah Jue was someone Gong Jiu recognized, but Wei Feng and the others did not, for they were not yet at that level... but it seemed somewhat interesting!

Is uncle here to pick a fight?

Wei Feng laughed.

"Heh, if I’m not mistaken, your surname is Sui, right? Not Ye..." Ye Zhang interrupted sharply.

He intended to humiliate Sui Yi, but saw that Sui Yi, noncommittally, threw out a line: "Good that you know."

After saying that, he gave them a deep look and walked into the store, with Elder Tang and others not asking further and following him inside...

After all, the doorway isn’t the place for conversations, even if it’s during an opening ceremony where picking fights needs some skill...

So Huah Jue smiled faintly and walked in.

"Ah~~ quite interesting~~ Liang Qing, do you know the background of these two?" Wei Feng asked as he walked.

Liang Qing smiled: "One is an incompetent and shameful scion of the Ye family, another is a slightly capable but even more shameful betrayer of the Ye family. Their biological mother is Sui Yi’s only soft spot, and I think today they will put on quite a show."

"I think so too," Wei Feng smiled.

Wei Jiang beside him glanced at Liang Qing, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Perhaps one day Sui Yi will regret having taken in this woman.

--------

Once inside the store, Sui Yi did not put on any pretenses of being the host but rather went straight to one side to drink water, letting Elder Tang and the others look around by themselves...

Well, respecting and valuing the teachers, it seems, isn’t necessary to Sui Yi who is just like that.

She never liked unnecessary formalities, always acting as fits best. Coincidentally, Elder Tang and others were used to it too, managing their observations independently,

as were Ye Zhang and others, who went straight for the collection items.

For a moment, everything was peaceful and harmonious.

Flower Demon and Gong Jiu were managing friends from wealthy second-generation circles; the former was good, adept at dancing through socials, and the latter... simply threw out a line, "Look by yourselves, remember to pay if you like anything," and then dashed off.

This surprised their guests quite a bit, yet none dared to express dissatisfaction, because though they called them friends, Gong Jiu and Flower Demon were several levels higher than them, having already taken over their family powers and managed them independently, achieving greatly over the years. They weren’t comparable to these entitled youths, only brought together due to similar temperaments and youth, occasionally socializing and maintaining relationships. Casual talks were fine, but some boundaries remained in place backstage.

Because of this, they found the fervent courtesies from Gong Jiu and Sui Yi towards each other hard to understand.

So, a girl of distinctive temperament who had traveled various nations since youth casually remarked, "Who is this woman, anyways? Gong Jiu seems to like her so much... she doesn’t seem to be from our Provincial City either..."

"Yeah... but she really is attractive... Her cooking skills seem pretty good too; we should have her cook us a meal one day."

"Gong Jiu called us here to help today; she won’t just let us stand around, right? Why not bring her over to meet us?"

Several others chimed in. Flower Demon, hearing this, watched them with a smile and spoke softly, "Don’t worry about who she is, because she won’t worry about who you are. Today isn’t about Gong Jiu rounding you up for a show, but finding you guys a way to build connections. So don’t give me any excessive sensitivities; she doesn’t need your money or connections. If you’re lucky to build a bond with her, you’ll have something to rejoice about~~"

As various expressions played across their faces, she slowed down, then savored a slightly self-deprecating tone, "Even I, who have been through life-and-death adventures with her, can only mooch a meal off her now. If you really manage to connect with her, consider yourselves lucky."

Flower Demon was very sharp, her words always unapologetic. She would bluntly tear open your wounds and pour a pot of chili water into them.

This made their faces sting painfully.

Their hearts also trembled tremendously.

Is Sui Yi really so formidable? She seems just a business person, maybe even relying on relationships like Gong Jiu’s. Perhaps the capital was provided by Gong Jiu and her associates!

Formidable? Flower Demon looked towards Sui Yi who sat peacefully drinking tea nearby, quietly speaking with Lin Yun, and after a thought, she smiled.

Not formidable, but mysterious, or perhaps better said as an unknown so terrifying.

Just one trip to the Ancient Tomb was enough to keep her wary of this girl.
