Just as Chen Meng’er led Zhuge Yu and the others to the entrance of the front hall, they heard a gentle and refined voice coming from inside the room, “Excuse me, Elder Liu, may I ask what is the matter?” Such a voice… it was very easy to leave a good impression on that person. However, Chen Meng’er was very disgusted by such a voice. Because in her impression, anyone who liked to use this kind of voice to talk to others was not what they appeared to be.
“Hehe, this time, you’ve made a mistake. It wasn’t an elder like me who invited you over. I only wrote this invitation for someone else.” Elder Liu, who was sitting in his seat, said with a smile as he looked at Murong Qiu, who was standing in the middle of the hall.
Murong Qiu’s expression changed slightly. He wasn’t as calm as he appeared to be. He was already very nervous and scared. He didn’t know why Elder Liu had invited him here. Now that he heard Elder Liu say… someone had used his hand to invite him here. This made him feel even more uncertain. “Oh? Then may I ask, Elder Liu, who invited me here? And what is the reason?” Murong Qiu pretended to be calm as he asked.
“Well, she has to come out and tell you herself.” Elder Liu noticed when Chen Meng’er brought Zhuge Yu and the others to the front door. Elder Liu smiled and said to the door, “How long are you going to stand at the door? Are you all going to come in? Don’t you all feel tired?”
Chen Meng’er heard her grandfather’s words and knew that they had been exposed. Anyway, she did not really want to hide forever. She led the group and walked in gracefully through the door. As they walked, she smiled and said to Elder Liu, “Grandpa’s ears are still sharp. No sound can escape your ears.”
“You only know how to be mischievous. Didn’t you want to see Murong Qiu? I helped you invite him here.” Elder Liu saw Chen Meng’er and the smile that had never reached his eyes finally reached his eyes.
Murong Qiu looked at the little girl with delicate features who had led the way in. When he heard Elder Liu speak to her in a completely different tone, he silently thought to himself, ‘This is the young lady from the Green Gang.’. In the capital, everyone was very curious about this mysterious young lady from the Green Gang.
Unfortunately, Elder Liu had always been too good at keeping secrets. Many people had all sorts of ideas, but they were unable to get a glimpse of this young lady from the Green Gang. He did not expect to see her today.
However, Murong Qiu was not excited to see the young lady of the Green Gang. Instead, he was shocked by Elder Liu’s next sentence. If he had not heard wrongly, Elder Liu’s words meant that the young lady of the Green Gang wanted to see him. He looked at Chen Meng’er and looked at her with an inquiring gaze.
“Thank you, grandpa. Mr. Murong, you won’t blame me for being rash, so I invited you here, okay?” Chen Meng’er asked with a very innocent smile. However, Chen Meng’er was already complaining in her heart. “What? If Grandpa didn’t stop me, I would have used an even more rash method to invite him here.”
“No, no. It’s my honor to be invited by the young lady of the Green Gang.” Murong Qiu said with a look of fear and trepidation.
“Then, Mr. Murong, aren’t you curious? Why did I invite you here?” Chen Meng’er found a seat and sat down, but she didn’t ask Murong Qiu to sit down. Elder Liu acted as if he wasn’t involved and he also did not intend to ask Murong Qiu to sit down.
This made Murong Qiu, who was used to being fawned on by others, feel very awkward and dissatisfied. However, he could only put this dissatisfaction to the bottom of his heart. He did not dare to show it.
“It is strange. So, may I ask, Little Miss, why did you invite me here?” Murong Qiu suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and took the initiative to get close to Chen Meng’er.
