Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was preparing tea and snacks very skillfully, Sun Sanniang smiled and said:
"Pan'er, I heard that the girls in Tokyo are all straightforward and good-tempered. You will definitely be able to thrive there!"
Hearing the word Tokyo, Zhao Paner's eyes were filled with yearning, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said:
"I haven't been to Tokyo yet, but I heard from Ouyang that there is no curfew at night. The lights are on all night long, and there is music and singing all the time!"
Speaking of the bustle and prosperity of Tokyo, Sun Sanniang also stopped what she was doing and said with a face full of longing:
"Zifang's father went there once, and he told me that the young ladies there were all dressed up like fairies from heaven. There were hundreds of different colors of lip balms and powders in the shop, and even their clothes were sewn with gold thread. Oh, I'm counting on Zifang to pass the imperial examination and earn me a phoenix crown and bridal robe. Then, I'll go to Tokyo to see the world!"
Listening to Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang's longing and yearning for Tokyo in their conversation, Yuan Xudong suddenly appeared from the side, startling Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, who were already lost in their longing for Tokyo. Looking at Yuan Xudong who suddenly appeared, Sun Sanniang frowned and cursed with her hands on her waist:
"You scoundrel, did you just eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"No!"
Before Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Xudong continued:
"My family is in Tokyo. If you really want to go to Tokyo, I can go with you. When we get to Tokyo, I will invite you to my home, okay?"
"Are you from Tokyo?"
I didn't expect Yuan Xudong to be from Tokyo. Zhao Pan'er opened her eyes slightly and said in surprise:
"It's a long way from Tokyo to Qiantang. Why did you come here alone?"
"Yeah, how did you fall into the water?"
Looking at the slick Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang was very suspicious:
"You're still wearing your nightgown. What on earth are you doing?"
"I……"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, Yuan Xudong was just about to make up a touching story about a lonely teenager who ran away from home and wandered around, when a video-like memory suddenly emerged in his mind. Looking at this memory that was like a black and white slide, Yuan Xudong pretended that he was obviously very sad but pretended that he was not sad. Instead, he smiled and said:
"I lost my mother when I was young, and lived with my father since I was young. Later, he remarried and had a little son. Oh, and I have an older brother who was adopted by my uncle as his son. My father loved his eldest son the most, and then his youngest son. No one took care of me, the second son, since I was young. In addition, I didn't like reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but liked to wield swords. So I had an argument with my father, and then I ran away from home and took a boat to Jiangnan!"
"So that's how it is. Then you are quite pitiful!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, whose life was so pitiful, Sun Sanniang's eyes were filled with tears, and she wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes. Zhao Pan'er, who was standing next to her, was a little skeptical of Yuan Xudong and said:
"According to what you said, your eldest brother is your father's eldest son. He will inherit the family business in the future. How could your father adopt him as a son to your uncle?"
“Yes!”
Looking at Yuan Xudong who made her cry, Sun Sanniang said with her beautiful eyes:
"Mr. Yuan, you are not lying to us, are you?"
"No, why would I lie to you?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang who were somewhat suspicious of him, Yuan Xudong immediately pointed to the sky and swore:
"God above, Earth below, I, Yuan Xudong, swear here that if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning, otherwise..."
"Okay, okay, no need to swear!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong swearing to the sky, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang immediately believed it. Sun Sanniang stopped Yuan Xudong from continuing to swear:
"Then how did you fall into the water? And what's with that nightgown?"
As she spoke, Zhao Pan'er served the prepared refreshments to the guests outside. When she returned to the teahouse, Yuan Xudong continued:
"I was broke, and I'd been hungry for a long time, so I went to a rich family and tried to steal some money or food, thinking it was robbing the rich to help the poor. But somehow, I fell into the river. I guess some bastard threw me into the river!"
"You, you have the nerve to call others bastards?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was trying to steal other people's things, Sun Sanniang cursed:
"You little thief, you still say you want to rob the rich to help the poor, but you are actually robbing others' wealth to help your own poverty?"
"Sanniang, please stop scolding him. He wouldn't steal if he had no other choice!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's experience, Zhao Pan'er felt empathy. She could understand Yuan Xudong. In order to survive and have something to eat, she had done some things that went against her conscience. She was originally from an official family, but when she was young, she was sent to the Jiaofang because of her father's crime and became a courtesan. Fortunately, when she was sixteen, she got help from her father's old friend, got rid of her status as a slave, redeemed herself and returned to goodness. Finally, she did not lead to an irreversible result. When she was in the Jiaofang Division, because she was young, she was always bullied by others, and she even picked up food from the swill bucket to eat. She knew the difficulty of being hungry. The past was unbearable to look back. Zhao Pan'er, who was a little sad, looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Okay, the past is in the past. Don't steal other people's things anymore. Got it?"
"Okay, got it!"
He chatted with Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang for a while, mainly Yuan Xudong talking about what delicious food, fun, or interesting places to visit in Tokyo. At the same time, the number of customers in the teahouse gradually increased. Zhao Pan'er began to be busy ordering tea, and Sun Sanniang was responsible for preparing the fruits. Yuan Xudong had nothing to do, so he served tea and water to the guests. He did a good job at it, which made Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, who had been watching him, very satisfied. Except for not wanting to squat on the ground to mop the floor, they were willing to let him help with other chores.
…
"My two guests, please come in!"
Two more guests came in. Zhao Pan'er greeted them with a smile, and then went to order tea for the other guests. She also performed a tea opera to attract business. With one hand, she slowly poured hot water into the teacup containing tea powder, and with the other hand, she quickly stirred the tea whisk twice. After a while, patterns appeared on the water surface of the teacup. The guests looked closely and saw that the patterns on the water surface were like peach blossoms blooming in the center of the tea. The guests immediately started talking and competing to praise Zhao Pan'er.
"We not only sell tea here, but the new basil drink that the shopkeeper, Madam Zhao, has launched is also a must-try!"
"Look, this is the new basil drink from the shopkeeper, Madam Zhao!"
"sharp!"
…
Zhao Paner picked up the silver kettle, turned around beautifully, tilted the kettle in her hand, and poured hot water from mid-air into the teacup in front of the guest. After the performance, she bowed slightly to the guests, then left with the silver kettle in both hands and said with a smile:
"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal!"
"Okay, thank you, Madam Zhao!"
…
In the southeast corner of the teahouse, near the window, two guests who had just arrived sat opposite each other. One of them was dressed in brocade and was about twenty years old. He had a rather cold and ruthless face. Sitting opposite him was a strong man with a full beard and a fierce look on his face. However, he nodded and bowed in front of the young man and said in a flattering manner:
"Commander, I heard that you like tea. This Zhao's Teahouse is the best in Qiantang. The tea and fruit are delicious, and the shopkeeper is stunning. It can be said that it has everything, so I chose this place!"
As he said this, he looked at Zhao Pan'er who was performing tea arts for other guests not far away and shouted:
"Madam Shopkeeper, two lamps of Green Phoenix Marrow!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Paner smiled and agreed.
These two guests were none other than Yuan Xudong's (Xiao Fan) elder brother Gu Qianfan and his old subordinate Lao Jia. Gu Qianfan was the commander of the Investigation Department of the Imperial City Division in Tokyo and was known as the "Living Yama" in Tokyo. His name alone could frighten villains and stop children from crying. The Imperial City Division only obeyed the orders of the government and was sent out to investigate inappropriate matters in the world. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Inspection Commission or the Three Yamen, and its power was enormous. Lao Jia was Gu Qianfan's former pawn, and was later transferred from Tokyo to work in the Imperial City Division in Qiantang County. He had always wanted to be transferred back to the Imperial City Division in Tokyo, but had no opportunity or way.
This time, Gu Qianfan came secretly to Qiantang in Jiangnan to investigate the current queen's infidelity. He did not bring any capable subordinates with him, which gave Lao Jia a chance to curry favor with him.
According to the clues Gu Qianfan got, the Night Banquet Painting containing the evidence of the empress's infidelity is in Qiantang, Jiangnan, at the residence of Yang Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Liangzhe Road. Because the current empress's infidelity is a matter of great importance, Gu Qianfan cannot investigate it openly, so he instructs Lao Jia, the local tyrant of the Imperial City Bureau, to find a way to get the Night Banquet Painting from Yang's residence.
Without getting in a hurry for official business, Gu Qianfan looked at Zhao Paner's teahouse with a little disdain, as well as the guests who were shouting and making noises not far away, and laughed:
"Is this the No. 1 Teahouse in Qiantang that you told me about?"
Seeing Gu Qianfan's disdainful look, knowing that he looked down upon teahouses outside Tokyo, Lao Jia immediately smiled and said:
"Of course, this remote place can't compare to the bustling and prosperous Tokyo . It's just a place where you can eat refreshing food!"
At this time, Zhao Pan'er brought tea to the two of them. She was unhappy to hear Lao Jia belittling her own tea shop, but she said politely:
"The Qingfengsui and Yuemei candied fruit you two ordered, add a little Anjiang salt, it will taste better!"
Looking at the beautiful Zhao Pan'er, Old Jia smiled respectfully and said:
"Thank you, Madam Shopkeeper!"
"You're welcome!"
After Zhao Pan'er left with the tea tray, Lao Jia's eyes followed her swaying figure as she left. Looking at such a useless subordinate, Gu Qianfan frowned and said:
"Is this the stunning beauty you were talking about?"
"yes!"
Hearing Gu Qianfan's voice, Lao Jia immediately came back to his senses. Seeing Gu Qianfan frowning slightly, he quickly changed his words and said disdainfully:
"She's just a country girl. Of course she can't be compared with the pretty ladies in Tokyo!"
Hearing what Lao Jia said, Gu Qianfan shook his head slightly and smiled:
"When you finish this case, I will transfer you back to Tokyo and let you clean your eyes!"
"Really?"
After flattering for so long, he finally got what he wanted. Lao Jia immediately bowed his hands excitedly and thanked him:
"Thank you, Commander. I, Old Jia, will definitely handle this case with all my heart!"
"Okay, let's have tea!"
…
Not far away, the conversation between Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia reached Zhao Pan'er's ears. She had very good ears since she was a child and could hear very slight sounds. In addition, Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia didn't care whether others could hear anything, so all these unpleasant words were heard by Zhao Pan'er. They said that Zhao's tea shop was not good before, and now they said that she was a country woman. Who knew what unpleasant words would be said later. Zhao Pan'er was angry, but she couldn't vent her anger. She could only turn a blind eye and calm her heart. She held back her anger for a while, raised her head and turned to enter the teahouse next to her. In the teahouse, Yuan Xudong was sitting on the floor washing tea sets, and Sun Sanniang was busy preparing cakes beside him. Seeing Zhao Pan'er come in, Yuan Xudong greeted her first:
"Miss Pan'er!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong greeting her happily, Zhao Paner couldn't help but think of the rude man who was drinking tea outside. She couldn't help but glared at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Hurry up and get up. Go outside and pour the tea. I'll wash the tea set!"
"OK!"
Hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, Yuan Xudong suddenly got up from the ground and prepared to go outside to continue serving tea and water to the guests. Seeing how diligent he was, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er and smiled:
"Pan'er, he can't wait to go outside and serve tea to the guests. He is so slow to wash the tea sets here. When he washes one, others can wash ten or twenty sets!"
Hearing Sun Sanniang laugh at his slow washing speed, Yuan Xudong boasted nonchalantly:
"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, understand?"
"You're the only one who understands?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong showing off his little knowledge to Sun Sanniang again, Zhao Pan'er glared at him and said:
"Hurry up and go outside to get some tea. Otherwise, you won't have lunch. I wonder if you are still a gentleman."
"Forget it. I won't bother with you. I'm going to go outside to get some tea. Bye!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xudong waved to Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, and then walked out of the teahouse. Watching him leave, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er and smiled:
"Young Master Yuan has a pretty good temper. He never gets angry. Pan'er, why are you angry at him?"
"fine!"
Thinking of her unwarranted anger towards Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner felt somewhat regretful at this moment.
"I don't know what happened. I got mad at the customer and took it out on him!"
"Alas, Mr. Yuan is so pitiful. This is probably what the story says: flowers fall with affection, but flowing water is merciless, right?"
"Sanniang!"
Rolling her eyes at Sun Sanniang who was talking nonsense, Zhao Paner said shyly:
"Don't talk nonsense, people will misunderstand you!"
"Okay, then I won't say anything, lest Mr. Yuan be upset!"
"Sanniang!"
"Haha, I won't say any more. If you keep saying it, you'll tear my mouth apart, okay?"
"Then I can't do it!"
…
Outside the teahouse, Yuan Xudong held a silver kettle and poured tea for the guests at each table. At the same time, Gu Qianfan was discussing business with Lao Jia:
"Didn't the man surnamed Wei confess? He said the original Night Banquet was in the hands of Yang Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Liangzhe Road. How come he hasn't got it yet?"
"My subordinates are incompetent!"
After looking around, Lao Jia looked at Gu Qianfan and explained in a low voice:
"Commander-in-chief, you have instructed us to keep this palace secret as confidential as possible. According to my investigation, Yang Zhiyuan collected this painting accidentally. He didn't know there was something strange in it. Moreover, he is a high-ranking official and a stubborn person. If I go to his house to ask for it directly, it will probably make things worse. So I wanted to sneak into Yang's house and steal the painting, but I didn't expect that he hid it too deep and I couldn't get it!"
After listening to Lao Jia, Gu Qianfan took a sip of tea and was about to answer him when a familiar voice sounded beside him:
"Sir, would you like some tea?"
"It's you!"
He looked up and saw that it was Yuan Xudong holding a silver kettle. Although he didn't know why his brother was here and was wearing coarse cloth clothes that only ordinary people would wear, this did not stop Gu Qianfan from laughing at him. He knew that his brother had always been dissatisfied with him and was somewhat jealous of his status and position, as well as the love of his parents and grandfather's family. In fact, sometimes he was also quite jealous of his brother, who could act willfully and do whatever he wanted. Thinking of this in his heart, he looked at the expressionless Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"I never thought I could drink tea poured by you personally. It's such an honor!"
Seeing Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia, some fragments of memory naturally popped up in Yuan Xudong's mind. It turned out that they were his adopted elder brother and his subordinates. Both of them were from the Imperial City Bureau, not much different from the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Gu Qianfan is quite pitiful. He was adopted by his uncle as his son since he was a child. He lost his mother at a young age, and it was almost the same as having no father. Because of the relationship between his mother and his grandfather's family, he hated his biological father who abandoned his wife and children since he was a child.
The Gu family he is in now, that is, the family of Yuan Xudong or Xiao Fan's maternal grandfather, belongs to the Qingliu faction. Gu Qianfan is a spy who infiltrated the Imperial City Division. Because the emperor is in poor health and the princes are irresponsible, the empress began to interfere in state affairs. The so-called Imperial City Division also began to panic. The various forces inside were intricate and complicated, and a considerable number of people began to bet on the empress. Lei Hong, the boss behind Gu Qianfan, wanted to get the authentic Night Banquet Picture, and then present it to the current empress to show his loyalty, so he sent Gu Qianfan to Qiantang in Jiangnan to secretly investigate the case.
Of course, the Gu family behind Gu Qianfan, and even Gu Qianfan himself, all have their own selfish desires and ideas. The entire Song Dynasty officialdom is a mixed bag, with numerous factions, and each faction is fighting against its own factions. Apart from making money and plundering the people, the rest is to deal with officials from hostile factions. In short, there are not many good people in it, including Yuan Xudong's father, Xiao Qinyan, who is also a treacherous minister with a group of small treacherous ministers under him, and is about to climb to the position of prime minister. It can be said that he is in the highest position among officials!
Yuan Xudong didn't care about these. He didn't care about the emperor, so why would he care about treacherous ministers? In fact, the emperor was the biggest treacherous minister, the treacherous minister of the whole world. The so-called loyalty in this era is loyalty to the individual, not loyalty to the country. Thinking of these messes, Yuan Xudong poured a cup of tea for Gu Qianfan and said:
"Don't talk to me. My name is Yuan Xudong now, not Xiao Fan. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was serving him tea, Gu Qianfan smiled playfully. Not many people knew about his actual relationship with Yuan Xudong, naturally including Lao Jia.
But Old Jia was quite perceptive. When he heard that Yuan Xudong was called Xiao Fan and was talking and laughing with Gu Qianfan, he had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure yet. He looked at Gu Qianfan and said with an apologetic smile:
"Sir, is this young man your friend?"
After taking a look at Lao Jia and knowing that he liked to curry favor with the rich and powerful, Gu Qianfan smiled indifferently and said:
"His name is Xiao Fan, and he is the son of Mr. Xiao!"
"So you are the son of the Prime Minister. How disrespectful!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was indeed the eldest son of the Xiao family (Gu Qianfan was adopted by the Gu family, so Yuan Xudong was the eldest son of the Xiao family), Lao Jia immediately wanted to stand up and salute, but Yuan Xudong held him down, added a little hot water to his teacup, and said with a smile:
"Brother, my name is Yuan Xudong, please don't call me the wrong name!"
"Okay, Xiao...Mr. Yuan, I'll remember this!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Lao Jia smiled apologetically:
"Mr. Yuan, my name is Lao Jia, and I am considered a local tyrant in Qiantang County. If there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to tell me!"
"good!"
In this unfamiliar Qiantang County, Yuan Xudong really needed the help of Lao Jia, the local tyrant. Thinking of this, he patted Lao Jia on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"How about this, I'll buy you a cup of tea. I really need your help with something. I'll come back to you after get off work!"
"Okay, thank you for the tea, Master Yuan!"
"You're welcome!"
Patting Lao Jia on the shoulder, Yuan Xudong held the silver kettle and prepared to pour water for other guests. Before leaving, he looked at Gu Qianfan, who had a calm expression, and said as a matter of course :
"Well, the price of your tea has gone up, you have to pay twice as much!"
Puff～～
After listening to Yuan Xudong, Gu Qianfan spit out a mouthful of tea. Sitting opposite him, Lao Jia, who was happily drinking the tea Yuan Xudong offered him, was sprayed with tea all over his head and face. Looking at the half cup of tea left in the teacup, he didn't know whether to drink it or not. He looked embarrassed. Gu Qianfan apologized, then looked at Yuan Xudong, rolled his eyes and asked:
"Why has the price of my tea increased? It's exactly twice as much, not more or less?"
"Drink if you want!"
Looking at Gu Qianfan, Yuan Xudong smiled proudly:
"If you have the guts, just spit out the tea you drank. Then you don't have to pay!"
At this time, Zhao Pan'er came out of the teahouse next door and happened to hear Yuan Xudong's very rude words. Although she hated Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia's comments on her and her teahouse, she opened the door to do business and everyone who came was a guest. How could she really be so rude to the guests? Thinking of this in her heart, she immediately glared at Yuan Xudong, then looked at Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia, bowed and apologized:
"My two guests, I'm really sorry. Today's tea is on my behalf. The new guy here doesn't know the rules and his brain isn't working very well. Please don't take offense!"
"No problem!"
After taking a look at Zhao Pan'er and then at Yuan Xudong who had become a good boy, Gu Qianfan seemed to be thinking about something, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. If Xiao Qinyan, who values ​​family background, knew that his son fell in love with a village woman, his expression would surely be very interesting. Thinking with a sense of evil in his heart, Gu Qianfan looked at Zhao Pan'er and said directly:
"I don't like to accept favors from others for no reason, even if it's just a cup of unpalatable tea. Tell me, how much is twice the price?"
After Gu Qianfan finished speaking, looking at Zhao Paner, whose chest was heaving with anger, Yuan Xudong immediately stepped forward, stretched out two fingers and said:
"Two ounces of gold, thank you for your patronage!"
"What?"
Looking at his hateful brother who was even more evil than before, Gu Qianfan gritted his teeth and said:
"What kind of tea is this? Is it the Imperial Tea from Tokyo? It costs two ounces of gold per cup. Why don't you just go and rob it?"
"You don't have any money?"
Seeing Gu Qianfan who always liked to pretend, Yuan Xudong deliberately said with disdain:
"You don't even have two taels of gold, and you still have the nerve to say that our shopkeeper's tea is unpalatable. There are plenty of good teas, do you have the money to drink it?"
"You have two ounces of gold, right?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who stood up for her and dared to ask a high price from the customer, Zhao Paner couldn't help but gently tap his head with her hand and said angrily:
"You clearly don't have a penny on you, how dare you laugh at others for not having two ounces of gold?"
“Hehe~~”
Taking a step back, standing next to Zhao Pan'er, gently sniffing her pleasant scent that smelled like tea, Yuan Xudong scratched his hair and smiled innocently:
"Two ounces of gold is a lot, right?"
"What do you think?"
Rolling her eyes at the somewhat silly Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner smiled softly and said:
"Two taels of gold can at least be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, or twenty strings of copper coins. Sanniang used to be a butcher and could not earn more than one string of copper coins a year. Do you think two taels of gold is a lot?"
"That's a bit much!"
Looking at the smiling Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong decided to establish his fool character to the end. Thinking this in his heart, he looked at Zhao Pan'er and smiled rather foolishly:
"Pan'er, you look so beautiful when you smile!"
Puff～～
“Haha~~”
As soon as Yuan Xudong finished speaking, Zhao Pan'er's face was only slightly red, but Gu Qianfan burst into laughter. Fortunately, Lao Jia dodged quickly this time, otherwise, he would have been sprayed with saliva all over his head and face again. Looking at Yuan Xudong who looked like an idiot, Gu Qianfan held his belly and laughed:
"Excuse me, let me laugh for a moment, this is really funny!"
"Just smile slowly!"
Glancing at Gu Qianfan, who was smiling like an idiot, Yuan Xudong quickly pulled Zhao Paner towards the guests at other tables and whispered:
"Pan'er, let's go and ignore this big fool!"
"You are not allowed to call me Pan'er!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner pulled her hand out of his and said angrily:
"You scoundrel, if you take advantage of me again, I'll kick you out!"
"It's unfair! I feel more wronged than Dou E!"
"Who is Dou E?"
"have no idea!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Zhao Paner curled her lips and said:
"You talk nonsense every day. Are all the people in Tokyo like you?"
"Of course not!"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who rolled her eyes, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"My father is the prime minister of the dynasty. No, not yet, but it has been confirmed. He will be officially in office in a while. I am not bad either. I am rich enough to rival a country. Whether in family background or appearance, I am thousands of times better than your Ouyang Xu. How about you marry me? I promise to marry you with three letters and six engagement letters, and eight sedan chairs. Okay?"
"not good!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner didn't believe his lies at all and said:
"I'm going to wait for Ouyang to come back and marry me!"
"The Tokyo entrance exam results were announced a long time ago, but he still hasn't come back. Either he failed the exam, or he changed his mind!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Zhao Pan'er and gave her a shot of prevention in advance:
"When I came from Tokyo, I heard that there was a Jinshi named Ouyang, and he was recruited as a son-in-law by Observer Gao. Do you think he could be your Ouyang Xu?"
"Won't!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong fiercely, Zhao Paner's heart wavered, but she said with a firm belief on her face:
"I believe in Ouyang. He will definitely come back to marry me, for sure!"
"All right!"
