At some point, an old man with a white beard wearing white clothes and a small felt hat stood behind Shu Xiaoya with a smile, and then picked up the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table.
Only then did Shu Xiaoya use the candlelight in the room to see clearly the true face of this person.
"It's you! Old liar!"
Shu Xiaoya slapped her hand on the table, and her face turned red with anger. This old man was the same old man who snatched his buns on the street that day!
The old man's original smile faded, and he stared at Shu Xiaoya with a pair of bright eyes, "Hey! Ghost girl, who are you calling the old liar? Who is the old liar? Old man, I am a thief! Don't insult us.
Tou’er’s personality and work ethics!”
Shu Xiaoya was dumbfounded, "Professional ethics?"
The old man nodded and took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. His snow-white beard moved up and down with the eating movements, which looked very interesting.
"Hmph! You look like a layman at first glance, right? We have the rules of the world of thieves! You have to be quick, accurate and ruthless! To be a thieves, you need to have professional ethics! The so-called professional ethics means that you can't steal things if you don't move.
Things, things that cannot be stolen without moving, without deceitful means to steal things]. Old man, I am a successful thief, and I have been in the world of thieves for decades! How can you accuse me of being an old liar?
I won’t be able to protect you for the rest of the year!”
The old man spoke eloquently. As he spoke, he also ate the second piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.
Shu Xiaoya's eyes widened and she cupped her hands, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. You can actually praise a thief to the sky and the earth."
The old man was angry, "Huh! Girl, don't underestimate our thieves! Look, what is this!"
Shu Xiaoya yawned and glanced at the old man's hand carelessly.
But she didn't expect that she was stunned at this sight! Damn! This is her personal jade pendant! How did she steal it! She was clearly hanging it on her waist!
"You, you...I...I, why do you have my jade pendant in your hand!"
Think of Shu Xiaoya as a third-degree black belt in the 21st century. She has been walking around in major pickpocket gathering places such as buses, subways, train stations, etc. for a long time. No one has ever been able to take advantage of her, let alone her unknowingly.
It was such a big deal to steal her personal jade pendant!
The old man picked up the teapot on the table in a good mood, poured himself a glass of water, and looked at Shu Xiaoya's performance with a smile, "How about calling him a successful person in the world of stealing!" Well, the old man nodded.
, I feel inexplicably in a good mood.
He would not tell this ghost girl that he had been waiting at Yushixuan for three days before he was told that the chef of Yushixuan had been invited to the house by a big shot. After his inquiring around the world, he finally found out
I found the chef’s location. I came here today just to have a taste of the chef’s craftsmanship!
Unexpectedly, I met my old acquaintance here, Shu Xiaoya!
Shu Xiaoya was so angry that her lungs almost exploded. "Give it back to me! Now that you've eaten the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it's time to find a way to help me escape, right?!"
While eating the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the old man looked at Shu Xiaoya's deflated appearance and was very happy. "Don't be anxious, girl, old man, I can't take you away tonight. Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll do it tomorrow night."
After everything is arranged, I will take you out."
