Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Elder Guo, no wonder you said that to me. You look a dozen years younger than before. You must be in a good mood recently.” Lin Ai was very generous. She was like a friend who had not seen Guo Xiang for many years. She was not reserved at all. The two of them chatted enthusiastically.
Shen Jian pulled Su Meng aside and whispered in her ear, “Boss, why do I feel that Elder Guo is more intimate with that Lin Ai than he is with you? Are you going to fall out of favor?”
Su Meng rolled her eyes at him and retorted, “Fall out of favor now? I’ve fallen out of favor since the day you came. You should be the one falling out of favor now.”
After saying that, she sat to the side and listened to the conversation between Guo Xiang and Lin Ai.
Shen Jian stood where he was, thinking seriously about when he stole Su Meng’s favor.

Guo Xiang and Lin Ai chatted for a while, and then they talked about Hong Si.
It had been a long time since Hong Si had contacted Guo Xiang. He did not expect that he would keep in touch with Lin Ai.
“Brother Hong has encountered some difficulties. He said that his eyesight is not very good right now, and he might lose his sight.” Speaking of Hong Si, Lin Ai’s face no longer had a smile, but was filled with worry.
“Lose his sight? Is he sick?” Su Meng asked anxiously.
Although she had not spent much time with Hong Si, when she was not in the shop, it was Hong Si who took care of her master. She was filled with gratitude toward Hong Si. Now that she heard that Hong Si was in trouble, she became anxious.
Lin Ai looked at Su Meng and shook her head. “I’m not sure either. He didn’t explain in detail. He only said that as a feng shui master, he couldn’t do anything heaven-defying or he would be punished.”
“Didn’t he go back because his hometown was being demolished and he had to deal with the old grave?” Guo Xiang asked.
“I think so, but there seemed to be some other problems. I’m not sure about the details because I can’t contact him recently.” Lin Ai took out her phone and called Hong Si in front of everyone. The ringtone rang for a while, then the other party hung up.
“Every time I call him, it’s the same. I can clearly get through to him, but he won’t pick up. So I’m a little worried that something has happened to him. Elder Guo, do you know where Brother Hong’s hometown is?”
“I’ll go take a look later. I remember that when he first came, he filled in personal information,” Guo Xiang said as he walked to the counter and began to search.
After searching for a while, Guo Xiang brought it over. “I found it. His hometown is quite far away. It’s in the mountains.”
Everyone had been together for so long that they had long become family. Although Guo Xiang did not show any reaction on the surface, he was very anxious in his heart.
Looking at the address on the watch, he thought for a while before looking at Su Meng and saying, “Girl, I want to…”
“Shen Jian and I will go take a look.” Su Meng could tell that her master was worried. She knew what he wanted to say. Before he could finish, she interrupted him.
Shen Jian, who was suddenly called, was stunned. What was he going to do?
Su Meng wanted to go by herself. However, after thinking for a while, she was afraid that she would encounter any danger. Therefore, she decided to bring Shen Jian with her. Although Shen Jian was also soft and weak, he was still a big boy. He was stronger than her. Therefore, he could lend a helping hand whenever he encountered trouble.
Lin Ai saw that Su Meng was going to visit Hong Si, so she quickly said, “I’m going too. It just so happens that I’m on vacation now. Originally, I wanted to do a part-time job. Since Brother Hong is in trouble, I have the obligation to help.”
“You even want to buy such an expensive car. Do you still lack money?” Shen Jian heard Lin Ai’s words and ridiculed.
Lin Ai smiled. She said proudly, “The car is a birthday gift from my mother. I want to do a part-time job because I want to earn my living expenses on my own. There’s no conflict. It’s more comfortable to spend the money I earn on my own. Besides, I also earned money to give gifts to my parents.”
Shen Jian:”…”
Alright, he didn’t understand the hobbies of rich people. Anyway, if his family was so rich, he didn’t want to work hard every day in the wind and rain. It would be more comfortable at home.
Since she had already decided to visit Hong Si, Su Meng calculated the day. Tomorrow was a good day for a long trip. She asked Shen Jian and Lin Ai for their opinions, and everyone agreed.
Luckily, Su Meng had bought a car, so it was convenient for her to drive them there.
Lin Ai stayed for a while longer before heading home. She would come back tomorrow and go with Su Meng.
After Lin Ai left, Su Meng asked Guo Xiang, “Old man, why haven’t you mentioned her before?” Not only Guo Xiang, but even Hong Si had never mentioned her before. Looking at Lin Ai’s passionate expression… She felt that she had a very good relationship with the old man and Hong Si.
