Chapter 308 - 307 I Don’t Save Just Anyone
Qin Liuxi declined Teng Tianhan’s invitation to stay at his residence, instead she chose to stay at Baiju Inn as previously arranged. They had agreed that he would pick her up the next day to examine Teng Zhao.
But upon returning to the inn, she saw Xiao Zhanrui sitting in the lobby waiting for her, accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked wealthy yet slightly haggard.
"Master, you’re back," Xiao Zhanrui stood up immediately when he saw Qin Liuxi, the man beside him also stood up, sizing Qin Liuxi up.
Qin Liuxi glanced at the man, then turned to Xiao Zhanrui: "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to let you know that the Young Master Heir has left."
"He left, so be it." Qin Liuxi started walking upstairs, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you don’t have to specifically come to tell me about these things, he and I are mere strangers passing by."
"There’s another thing I wish to ask of you, Master." Xiao Zhanrui followed her.
Qin Liuxi instructed Old Chou to rest on his own. Seeing Xiao Zhanrui had brought someone, the latter stayed put, saying, "Since there’s a visitor, I’ll wait until the Master has rested to leave."
Old Chou was sent by Yu Qiucai, following Yu Qiucai’s orders to serve Qin Liuxi well and ensure she was sent back completely unharmed. That would complete his task.
After several days together, he found that although Qin Liuxi often had a sharp tongue, she had a clear conscience and balanced judgment—she was a reasonable person.
