Chapter 775 - Everything Had Changed
Like himself; he hadn’t reached forty years old but he had already started meditating. This was so that he could spend the rest of his life relishing in the money he earned. Even he had achieved this enlightenment, but that old lady was still creating trouble. What a rare case.
After seeing them leave, Hou Zi turned and saw the young lady that Young Master Xia had set his eyes on in a daze. She seemed to be recalling something as she looked at him. Hou Zi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Looking at him and recalling some memory? This reaction was a little hard to understand.
“Okay, young lady, I’ll ask my staff to change a new room for you. This room is not very clean. It’s uncomfortable to stay here.” Hou Zi wasn’t interested in what this young lady was trying to recall. He knew that he didn’t recognize this beautiful young lady and he didn’t think that he would have such an old daughter outside.
Ye Jian gathered her thoughts as he spoke in his lazy and relaxed voice. She smiled and replied, “There’s no need for the trouble. With you around, I don’t think they would dare to look for me again.”
Her ‘Brother Zi’ wasn’t for nothing. When she called him Brother Zi, Grandma Ye’s expression changed entirely. She wasn’t able to sustain the kind expression on her face and it collapsed instantly.
Kindhearted in front of people, evilhearted behind their backs. Grandma Ye was like this in the past, she was like that now.
“I’m glad that you didn’t mind. If you need anything, you can contact me.” As long as the other party’s choice didn’t affect his welfare, Hou Zi would always approve. He smiled when he heard Ye Jian’s reply and said, “Young lady, your skills are not bad. Those small fries aren’t your match.”
“But, I think that the old lady isn’t someone easy to deal with. She’s still willing to come out and cause trouble at such an old age. When people get old, they will have two paths they can take. One, they will become calmer. Second, they will become even more ruthless. I think the old lady belonged to the latter. Young lady, be careful when you are out alone.”
He has known Yiwei for a long time. It was rare for her to personally ask him to protect the young lady Master Xia liked. Thus, since he accepted her request, he had to make sure to keep up the appearance. Reminding the young lady would only take a few sentences.
Ye Jian’s old boss told her that Hou Zi was a heartless person who never cared about other people’s businesses. However, the Hou Zi in front of her didn’t look like someone heartless. At least he was still concerned about some people and things.
For instance, Xia Jinyuan and the Miss Xia whom the VIP card belonged to. He appeared and helped her today because of these two people.
She smiled. She maintained her manners and replied without bootlicking Hou Zi, “Thank you for your reminder. I’ll take note of it.”
“Have a good meal. Goodbye.” Although this was just a young lady, Hou Zi still acted gentlemanly. He carried his habitual air of arrogance and left elegantly with his people.
When he reached the door, Ye Jian noticed that he stopped and turned around. He smiled and asked, “Do you know me?”
“No, I don’t.” Ye Jian’s chest tightened. What a perceptive Third Master Hou! He must have realized that she lost her concentration for a while.
The person whom she had searched for so many years in her past life suddenly appeared today. Thinking back, Ye Jian still found it unbelievable.
Because she met Xia Jinyuan, many things had changed. The things that were hard to deal with in the past could be settled with a snap of the finger. Some people had been so far away but in this lifetime, they were just beside her.
Everything changed. Life was more challenging and filled with many uncertainties.
