"Miss Qiao, young master Qiao. Dinner is ready, please come out to eat."
Upon hearing the call, Cao Zhen raised his head. Old Man Xu hadn't asked for his name, but Jing Yao had likely mentioned her surname, leading Old Man Xu to instinctively assume that Jing Yao belonged to the young master's family and thus referred to him as young master Qiao.
He withdrew his breath, supported himself with his hands on the ground, and slowly stood up, smiling, "Alright, Elder, we'll be out shortly."
As he said this and took a step forward, intense pain surged through his body, making him grimace involuntarily.
Immediately, Jing Yao extended her hands and supported Cao Zhen, whispering, "Young master, let me help you out."
