Chapter 118: Space Upgrade Again (2)_1
Had Situ Xin not known that he didn’t covet his position as the leader of the Dragon Society, he surely would have guarded against Situ Xin long ago.
"Miss, I understand." Xia Yujie might disregard what others say, but he would still listen to Situ Xin’s words.
Situ Xin glanced at Xia Yujie’s complexion and noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She sighed inwardly, then pulled a small porcelain bottle of elixir from her bag and handed it to Xia Yujie. "This is for strengthening the body. If you have to stay up late, eat one. However, even with this elixir, rest is still very important." Over the years, Situ Xin had come to regard the two as friends, despite the significant difference in their ages.
"Thank you, Miss." Xia Yujie knew that anything given by Situ Xin was extraordinary, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart as he took the small porcelain bottle of elixir. Although he no longer had any relatives in this world, he was touched by the genuine concern of others and treasured it greatly.
"There’s no need for thanks, but make sure to train Sun Xue and Sun Lu diligently. I will need them in a few days," Situ Xin said, glancing at her cute watch.
"Understood, I will do that. But, Miss, could you tell us what you need them for?" Xia Yujie was also very curious about what Situ Xin planned to do.
"Oh, I want to open a beauty salon. As you know, in Capital City, there are plenty of officials’ wives, rich ladies, and misses. So, I think a beauty salon would be quite profitable. Another reason I want to open one is to gather intelligence. I want to expand our intelligence network. As you know, women love to chat and gossip; sometimes, in the course of conversation, they end up revealing certain things," explained Situ Xin, and both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang understood her plan.
"I got it, I’ll speed up their training. Miss, would you like me to help with anything?" Xia Yujie’s implied meaning was clear to Situ Xin.
"No need, I’m aware that the Dragon Society has many places that need funding, and our capital is quite tight right now. This beauty salon will be my own personal investment," said Situ Xin nonchalantly. In fact, her plan to open a beauty salon had been in the works for quite some time, and she had initially wanted to partner with her aunt. But unfortunately, her aunt had just discovered she was pregnant.
Old Master Loo and Old Madam Loo were overjoyed; although they never said anything, they were quite worried. Once, Situ Xin accidentally overheard her grandparents discussing her aunt’s lack of pregnancy news. Concerned, her grandmother said to her grandfather, "Old Master, why haven’t Jianxin and his wife had any news yet? Do you think there might be something wrong with their health?" Despite not stating it outright, the implications in her grandmother’s words were quite clear.
