Chapter 142: Chapter 141 The Little Rascal is a Little Rich Girl


    Xiao Qimo put away his phone, finally interested in the topic.


    But Ye Jinwen convinced him to perhaps do some mental preparation first. Xiao Qimo, puzzled, leaned on his sses coldly and urged him to speak quickly.


    Ye Jinwen clutched his phone, trembling, “The owner of MM Ji Restaurant isn’t Yuren, it’s… Lu Mian.”


    It’s Lu Mian!


    The unassuming Lu Mian, who had always been around them without showing off, was the behind-the-scenes owner of this super popr restaurant!


    Ah ah ah ah…


    Back then, he had unted MM Ji’s takeout box to Lu Mian; he’d even eagerly sought out the owner to drive away Su Jue and others; several times he’d wondered why MM Ji would have hamburgers.


    Thinking about these details, he simply couldn’t face Lu Mian anymore.


    Performing a sword dance in front of Guan Gong, this was definitely the most embarrassing moment of his life!


    “…”


    Xiao Qimo looked up at him, hisment light butden with significance, as if digesting this information.


    Ye Jinwen hurriedly exined, “It’s absolutely true! If there’s a false word, I will eat shit!”


    The refined man showed little surprise.


    For him, whatever Lu Mian did never seemed out of ce; he could calmly ept it all.


    But what was odd was that Lu Mian had only been rescued two months ago. How had she be the owner of MM Ji so quickly?


    More importantly, the rtionship between her and Yuren still hadn’t been answered!

    “Qimo, what are you thinking?” Ye Jinwen, unable to grasp his thoughts, asked cautiously.


    “Heh…” The manughed slowly and deliberately, “So the little brat is actually a little rich girl.”


    So, living in such arge t was normal, right?


    Hmm, as long as it wasn’t bought by some other man.


    Ye Jinwen: “…”


    Why was he suddenly fed dog food?


    But Qimo, could you stop showing that “I really want to be kept” expression?


    Pull yourself together, you are the heir of Z Country’s wealthiest Xiao Family!


    Your family is the richest!


    Also, could you focus a little bit of your attention on work?


    “The kidnapping case… the matter of Mystery Person Number Thirteen… the Wucheng Guardian God issue…” Ye Jinwen mumbled as he fiddled with his phone case.


    Xiao Qimo’s beautiful fingers snapped suddenly.


    “Then let’s pay a visit to the Su Family.”


    ——


    Su Family.


    Xiao Qimo had no trouble seeing Elder Su.


    Elder Su still looked white-haired and frail, and after dismissing the servants with his cane, he invited Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen to sit in the pavilion.


    On the stone table at the center of the pavilion, a game of unfinished chess wasid out.


    Xiao Qimo casually picked up a chess piece and made a move.


    Old Su touched his chin andughed heartily, “Care for a game?”


    “No, thank you, Elder Su.” Xiao Qimo withdrew his hand, sipped some tea, and said indifferently, “I apologize for not visiting you sooner after being in Wucheng for such a long time. I’ve been entangled in some important matters and hope you can forgive me.”


    He has always been so well-mannered and gentlemanly.


    One could immediately feel that Xiao Qimo was a standard aristocratic gentleman upon first meeting him.


    Elder Su chuckled, “Mr. Xiao, don’t say such things. You attended a banquet at the Su Family before, and Little Yezi has told me all about it. In truth, it’s the Su Family who didn’t treat you well.”


    “You’re too kind,” Xiao Qimo exchanged a few pleasantries.


    Ye Jinwen kept signaling him to get to the main topic.


    The man nodded, put down his teacup, and got straight to the point, “Elder Su, do you and Lu Mian have a history?”


    Ye Jinwen: “…”


    Can’t stop talking about Lu Mian for three sentences!


    Elder Su smiled slightly, a hint of wariness in his voice, “She’s just a poor ordinary girl, how did shee to your attention?”
