Su Qingqing felt she hadn't misjudged, yet, upon reflection, she truly felt it was impossible. She stared in that direction until the luxury car drove off before she withdrew her gaze.
Su Tingyan didn't dare to ask how much the car cost while she was in it.
However, sitting in an expensive car was indeed comfortable. She was also in a good mood today, which was rare for her not to be too angry.
She caressed the seat and watched Lin Xu on the side, who handled the steering wheel smoothly, focused ahead, with her profile looking sharp and her features exquisitely beautiful.
She couldn't help but prop up her chin, taking a few more glances.
Until Lin Xu's gaze fell on her.
"You seem to be in a good mood today."
Although she usually appeared indifferent about everything, the light in her eyes couldn't deceive anyone. At that moment, her eyes held a smile, making her beautiful almond eyes shine brightly like stars.
"Yeah, the hospital suddenly said my mom could have the surgery and even called the best foreign doctors. I thought maybe there was no hope, but it seems heaven is still looking out for us, right? Those bastards haven't had a chance to get what's coming to them; my mom can't die yet."
Lin Xu smiled, "You're quite lucky."
"Of course, my master also said my fate is very good, limitless in potential. I used to call him an old swindler who's best at deceiving me, but now it seems he might have a point."
"Your master?"
"Yeah, to get me to settle down, my mom threw me up a mountain to take on a master." Thinking of the mountain life, with every day like the last, it went by quickly, yet also seemed so slow.
He looked at her bright gaze, which became misty as he asked, "The mountain?"
"Yeah..." She shook her head, not letting herself think further, "My master fancies himself a hermit, a recluse. Some who don't know him say he's a con artist, but this old weirdo indeed has some skill. He's spent most years on the mountain, occasionally leaving to wander and heal the sick. His medical skill is extraordinary; people call him the Weird Doctor. It's a pity he never comes down from the mountain, so you probably don't know of him."
He looked at her, tilting his head for a long while, before he said with a meaningful tone, "It seems you've had quite a story over the years."
"Who doesn't have a story? Think about it, you've been in this line of work for so many years; you must have plenty of stories, too. How did you choose this career? How did you go from being a mere service worker to the top of the industry? It must have been an incredible journey of hardship."
"..."
"Alright, we're almost there. I'll come to pick you up for a meal in a bit."
Lin Xu didn't want to continue this topic.
"A meal?"
Su Tingyan looked at him, "You're pretty good with the money you get… not bad service, eh?" She gave him a playfully teasing smile, while Lin Xu just wanted to rub his forehead and sigh.
As soon as Lin Xibai saw Su Tingyan, she looked as though she wanted to strangle her.
"What's going on? How did you find a man? What does that person do? Is he a local? What's his job?"
"Alright, alright, Lin Xibai, aren't you done? I came to see if there was any work I could do, what are you doing?" Su Tingyan hurriedly pleaded.
"No, you have to tell me first, what does that person do?"
"His name is Lin Xu."
"Lin Xu? Why does that name sound familiar?"
Lin Xibai sat in the law firm's chair, looking at Su Tingyan, "What does he do?"
Su Tingyan thought, familiar? Could it be that he's made a name for himself already? People who've never been to White Horse Club know of his reputation?
"He works as… a service worker."
"What's a service worker? A waiter?"
"Sort of... I guess."
Lin Xibai felt something was off just by looking at her expression.
"Su Tingyan, you better make it clear to me, what exactly does this person do!"
"Alright, alright... He's a... service worker at White Horse Club."
