Chapter 355 - 63_4
These two, precocious as they are, thought they had a grip on this boy of the same age. After coaxing information out of him, they unwittingly curled the corners of their mouths, struggling not to reveal a self-satisfied demeanor.
They asked about trivial things of everyday life, and Li Zhiyuan spoke openly about the details of his past life.
As he spoke, the old fellows at the next table were all ears.
But the more they listened, the more frightened they became, their courage starting to falter.
Innocent child talk, how could the life details spoken by the boy be accessible to an ordinary child from Beijing?
Everyone couldn’t help but speculate, exchanging glances to confirm each other’s thoughts. Could it be that the young madame had indeed sought a significant matrimonial alliance for her granddaughter?
Actually, Liu Yumei was also listening to the conversations at the next table. It was her first time hearing so many details too. But she knew how clever the boy was; perhaps he was just playing them, which was rather amusing.
Three cups of liquor, sipped slowly, Liu Yumei then inverted her cup.
Her accompanying those three cups was already showing great respect.
Turning the cup upside down clearly meant the drink was enjoyable and the conversation over.
This made all the people present look at each other. Before they came, they had all prepared their "gift lists"—their families’ assets to be split. If Liu Yumei wanted to bring the Qin and Liu families back into prominence, they would have to make sacrifices.
