Qu Limei felt very uncomfortable hearing herself called Old Qu.
Old?
She was just over fifty, quite young in fact. It was you who were old.
Yet, her heart sank to the bottom.
What's she up to?
Definitely nothing good.
Qu Limei frowned, her tone laced with an indiscernible sarcasm, "I'm not of your high rank, I retired last year. Once you're gone, you're forgotten. I don't know what I could help you with unless you tell me. Otherwise, how would I know if I should agree or not?"
Shangguan Yunqi shot Qu Limei a resentful glance, then smiled, "You want to come in and keep me company by talking to me like this?"
Qu Limei's eyes bulged, but then something occurred to her, and she laughed, saying, "I'm just kidding with you, Shangguan. Go ahead, what do you need help with?"
