Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “She’s Consort Ling of your Western Jin, not the Great
Zhou. Why should I care about her?”
Yuwen Jing said coldly, “She’s also a princess of your Great Zhou!”
Su Xiaoxiao was fearless. “So what? This isn’t the Great Zhou.”
Yuwen Jing choked and fell back.
Guo Lingxi knew very well that Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth could anger a living person to death. She was not led by the nose by her. Instead, she asked, “Qin Su, did you come to the wrong place? The third floor of the Dongting Building is not a place for people like you.”
Her words woke her up from her dream. Yuwen Jing suddenly looked up at Su
Xiaoxiao. “That’s right. Every room here is only reserved for people from Western Jin. You’re not from Western Jin!”
The waiter happened to serve tea.
Yuwen Jing stopped him. “Do you put just anyone on the third floor?”
The shop assistant smiled awkwardly. “This room was booked by the Five
Elements Alliance. This girl is a guest of the Five Elements Alliance.”
Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t come in on her own, Yuwen Jing was speechless.
Guo Lingxi’s eyes flashed as she asked with a smile, “Jing’er, where’s our room?”
“Inside, the Heaven Room!” Thinking of her room, Yuwen Jing regained her sense of superiority.
Guo Lingxi praised, “Jing’er, you’re really amazing. You can actually book the
Heaven Room. I heard that it’s the best room in the Dongting Restaurant.”
Yuwen Jing said proudly, “My father is the Eldest Prince. Our Eldest Prince’s residence can book any room we want. There’s no need to beg Second Grandpa and Grandma.”
Guo Lingxi smiled and said, “Let’s go. Some people like to swindle others. Who knows what lie she told to enter the room of the Five Elements Alliance.” “Who’s making things up about our Five Elements Alliance?”
Accompanied by a dignified and low voice, a hale and hearty old master who was more than fifty years old walked over.
The waiter was caught in the middle and found it difficult to do anything. When he saw him, it was as if he had been pardoned. “Old Master Shen! You’re here!”
Yuwen Jing said to Guo Lingxi, “I’ve seen him in Father’s study. He’s Vice
Alliance Master Shen of the Five Elements Alliance!”
Vice Alliance Master Shen came to the two of them and cupped his hands at
Yuwen Jing. “Miss Yuwen.”
Yuwen Jing smiled faintly. “You came at the right time. The person inside said that she’s a guest of your Five Elements Alliance. Do you know her?” Vice Alliance Master Shen looked at Su Xiaoxiao and frowned.
Guo Lingxi pretended to exclaim, “Old Master Shen, you don’t know her?”
Yuwen Jing snorted and said, “Old Master Shen, I’m afraid you don’t know. She’s a big liar who swindles people everywhere. Last time, she said that she was Mr. Zhuge’s sister, but Mr. Zhuge doesn’t know her at all! If you don’t believe me, you can ask this person on my side. She’s a princess of the Great Zhou, and that woman is also from the Great Zhou. Everyone knows that Mr. Zhuge is from Northern Yan. How can he have a sister from the Great Zhou?”
“Dad! Dad! It’s my guest!”
Second Master Shen climbed up the stairs, panting.
He had just gone to pick Wei Ting up and was told that Wei Ting had already left. He quickly came over.
He grabbed his sleeve and said breathlessly, “I… I’m holding a banquet here tonight.”
Old Master Shen muttered,”l wanted a banquet too!”
Guo Lingxi smiled. “Old Master Shen, your Five Elements Alliance is the largest business alliance in the world. It’s best not to befriend any random people. If word gets out, it will be a disgrace to your status.”
Regardless of Su Xiaoxiao’s status in the Great Zhou, this was the Western Jin. The Great Zhou’s methods were useless. If she dared to scam Zhuge Qing, she dared to guarantee that no one in the Western Jin would have the guts to continue interacting with her!
There was indeed a hint of hesitation on Old Master Shen’s face.
He had never interfered much with his son’s friendships. If he snatched his room, the matter would be over if he beat him up later.
However, if that person fabricated a relationship with Mr. Zhuge, this person could not be befriended.
“Shut up!” Old Master Shen shouted. “Invite her out!” Second Master Shen’s expression changed drastically. “Dad!”
More and more people were watching.
Su Xiaoxiao sat in the room of the Five Elements Alliance and was “invited out” by the deputy leader of the Five Elements Alliance in public. This was undoubtedly a slap to her face in public. She had lost all her face.
However, she deserved it.
Guo Lingxi was extremely happy. She could not defeat her in Great Zhou. Now that she was in the Western Jin, she was only so-so.
This was the feeling of exaltation!
“Hurry up and invite her out! How many times do I have to say it!”
“Dad! She’s my friend!”
The father and son almost quarreled. Everyone began to point at Su Xiaoxiao, who was calmly sitting inside drinking tea, and scold her for being shameless and harming others.
Suddenly, a team of Black Armored Guards walked down the stairs.
They came down from above. Could it be… that Mr. Zhuge was in the pavilion on the top floor?
This was really great!
She was finally going to press this countryside girl’s face to the ground and rub
What was more embarrassing than being caught red-handed by Mr. Zhuge?
The Black Armored Guards arrived at the door of the room. The murderous aura of the leader shocked everyone, and the corridor fell silent. He asked, “Who said she was Mr. Zhuge’s sister just now?”
Yuwen Jing pointed inside. “It’s her!”
Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao. It was over. This girl’s good days were over. Western Jin couldn’t accomodate her anymore.
The Black Armored Guard came to Su Xiaoxiao and looked down at her.
Just as everyone thought that he would slash at Su Xiaoxiao, he suddenly cupped his fists and bowed. “Miss, Sir invites you up.”
Everyone was shocked.
What did the Black Armored Guard call her?
Miss?
Guo Lingxi’s face turned pale. “That’s impossible! Did you get the wrong person?”
The Black Armored Guard ignored her.
“Can I bring my friend up?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The Black Armored Guard said, “Of course. Sir said that Miss’s friend is his friend.”
Su Xiaoxiao put down her teacup and came to the shocked Old Master Shen.
“Vice Alliance Master Shen, we don’t need this room anymore. You may take it.”
Up, up where?
The top floor?
A pavilion that was never open to the public?
Was he going to see Mr. Zhuge? In his lifetime?
Second Master Shen was floating, as if he had drunk a catty of Erguotou.
Old Master Shen was so shocked that he was speechless.
Guo Lingxi was slapped in the face. She was extremely embarrassed and wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Yuwen Jing was also very surprised. “Is Sir here too? I’ll go greet him..
The Black Armored Guard escorted Su Xiaoxiao upstairs. When he heard her words, he turned around and stopped her coldly.
“Sir said that he won’t see any unrelated people..”
