Strange Scene

[He discovered that out of all his students, only that one senior was elated about the news and didn't mean his lament like his other students.]

[That's when he realised that it was probably this guy who set up Wang Qian, even using his daughter as a tool. It was a intuitive guess because his student Wang Qian would've just openly told him about their relationship, if there was any in the first place.]

[So, he contrived a plot to get that man jailed after acting out a theft where one of his other students would discover their senior stealing their master's secret recipes.]

[No matter how old fashioned he was about having only one protegé, he did indeed have some written secret recipes passed down across different masters and just in case as life was unpredictable.]

At this moment, Ming Yue undertood most of the plot and even made wild plots.

'This old master actually regrets his decision and wants to take them back, but is a old Tsundere, right, Right?'

Her words confused the system as it failed to understand where her enthusiasm came from all of a sudden.

After all, justive was served, although a bit fake and contrived, that disgusting guy deserved it.

And the system suddenly seemed to remember something as Ming Yue seemed ready to leave.

[Host, aren't you curious about that guy?]

Unable to be on the same wavelength as Ming Yue, the gossip system directly asked.

'Huh? Who? Why? What?'

Ming Yue replied absentmindedly as if she was on factory reset and couldn't care less about that man.

However, little did she know that her life would be intertwined with him even if she wasn't interested.

[...Host, that man is actually that chef's grandson and has always come here to eat with his mother who Wang Qian or his wife haven't met because Wang Qian's wife was the elder sister, making her get kicked out before she could see her brother get married.]

[He's been coming here because of his grandfather who instilled it in the family to support Wang Qian, and in a way, his own daughter.]

'Uh? You mean, if I wanna support Lao Wang, I'll have to go through him?'

[...]

The system was stunned speechless at the strange trajectory on which Ming Yue's thoughts ran.

Just how did she come to such a conclusion from everything the system mentioned?

However, the system refused to budge anymore, feeling frustrated by the unexpected responses from Ming Yue.

It had aided countless men and women, some of which succeeded while a few got eliminated due to their greed and ended up confronting people with no bottom line.

Yet it had never seen someone so unbridled and uninterested in the riches of life!

Meanwhile, Ming Yue chose to stop hoping to get an answer from the system and went to talk to Lao Wang.

"Lao Wang, I am not joking about investing in you. Trust me, I really have the money."

"Yes, yes, I know!"

No matter how she looked at Lao Wang, he seemed perfunctory as if he didn't believe her at all.

"You don't believe me?" Ming Yue asked, ready to even proof herself as rich.

"I believe you, little girl," Lao Wang blurted out without hesitation as if he truly trusted every word spoken by her.

Seeing which, Ming Yue could only purse her lips and let him think whatever.

She kenw that her clothes looked ordinary and she hadn't bothered to dress up or act pretentious.

Despite being well-bred in her past life, she always wanted to be free and carefree so she did just that, since she could finally achieve that goal.

'Haaah, whatever,' she sighed inwardly, aware of his disbelief and the fact that he would believe her with time.

However, before she even got any chance, that flamboyant boy came over after hearing the word investment and seeing such a strange scene.

He agreed the girl was pretty, even in simple clothes bought from the nearby supermarket at heavy discounts, but who disliked naturally pretty girls?

Even if he wasn't serious, he knew mamy girls gushed to be by his side and would feel honoured to even go on a movie or a date with him.

So "her fake act of ignorance" could be contributed to gaining his attention but acting to invest?

Clearly, that crossed a line.

Although he wasn't aware of his relationship to the man, he really liked Lao Wang and his cooking and wouldn't let some young girl scam him.

"Lao Wang, beware of swindlers these days and those sent by your competitors who're jealous of you!"

He hurriedly shouted before coming to a stop in front of Ming Yue and analysed her face, only to see her brows crease into a frown.

'What? Does she think I'm interrupting her?'

Yes, indeed he was.

But Ming Yue only throught of him as annoying while he thought of it as stepping on her tail, making him smug, prompting his next words.

"Little girl, next time you wanna scam money out of someone, be planned to spen a few bucks to buy some good clothes for the act."

'What the hell?!' Ming Yue didn't even know how to react to his sudden accusation, which only solidified his strange delusion.

At this point, Ming Yue really wanted to show her bank balance and ask him who's the one wasting other's time?

However, she decided against it.

What if he thought she had been in tbe buisness for too long and amassed a great amount if wealth from scamming men.

It didn't hwlp that even Lao Wang was sceptical at the moment, and it would only worsen her situation the longer she waited.

So she decisively chose to leave her number in Lao Wang's hands before keaving, but not without saying her mind.

"Lao Wang, contact me if you have a change if mind and we can discuss the terms of cooperation soon."

Then she hurriedly scooted away, afraid that she'd also grow stupid if she stayed in this guy's presence longer than necessary.

It was truly a strange scene where the man chasing after a girl was left in tracks without the girl even bwaring him out, and instead focused on wating and investing in that food.

But... it would be a lie to say they disliked ber idea as each of them had grown old and eated all kinds if food, and faced various kinds of turmoils.

Henceforth, they kept coming here again and again to get a momentary respite during their hectic lives involved with in-laws, grandchildren or brother and sister-in-laws.

So, they could only describe this as something straight out of a drama.
