192 Chen Yuan Suspects Old Madam Wang’s Identity
Chen Yuan had eaten the Wang Family’s steamed buns before. The taste was really special though it was not to the point of being addictive.
It was not even crushingly better than the other restaurants’.
However, if one compared the Wang Family’s buns to the other shops’ buns, the difference was obvious.
Chen Yuan thought that the difference was with the secret recipe. As long as he bought the recipe, these problems would be resolved.
Which prosperous shop did not have a few unique secret recipes?
“Your name is Ah Yu, right? Then tell me, what’s so special about your buns? If you’re wrong, I won’t buy it.” Chen Yuan suppressed his thoughts and only smiled at Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu did not say it directly. Instead, she asked in her heart, “Elf, can I tell Uncle Chen?”
Little Ah Yu felt that it did not seem good to tell Uncle Chen directly.
However, she had to complete the mission. If she did not participate in the business negotiations, this mission would be judged to have failed.
[Just say half and leave half.]
“I think Uncle Chen is so smart...”
What if he asked more questions?
Little Ah Yu still knew her limits.
She remembered that Grandma had told her not to treat others as fools.
She was still young but she definitely did not treat the adults as fools.
[Then tell him that if he’s willing to pay 1,000 taels, you’ll give him a special gift.]
“What special gift?”
[Don’t ask about that. I’m helping you make it.]
“Oh.”
Meatball’s thoughts were also very simple. Ever since it came to this world, it realized that human thoughts were very unpredictable and could not be judged based on data.
Ever since it became an exclusive attendant, Meatball had been upgrading its intelligence performance just to solve Ah Yu’s problems in time.
Little Ah Yu repeated Meatball’s words.
Chen Yuan looked even more curious. “A special gift?”
How special could a little girl’s gift be?
Was it even worth 200 taels?
Could it be a secret of the Wang Family?
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Yuan’s mind. He wondered if he should dig out the Wang Family’s secret while the little girl was here alone.
Since Chen Yuan was willing to pay 800 taels, it meant that he thought that he could earn much more than this.
What if he could make more money than expected?
No one could resist such a huge temptation.
As Chen Yuan’s thoughts wandered, he was about to say something when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
“Sir, sorry to disturb you. The Wang Family is here to look for Ah Yu. I told them that Ah Yu is in the private room.” The waiter walked into the private room with an apologetic expression.
However, he still looked at Chen Yuan warily.
So, Old man Wang’s family actually did not know that Ah Yu had come. This meant that the little girl had run over herself.
Why did she come to look for an outsider?
Could this be a human trafficker?
The waiter looked at Chen Yuan with suspicion.
If such a smart and cute Ah Yu was kidnapped, many people in their town would probably be sad.
Everyone liked this Little Ah Yu who often distributed fruits to everyone.
Chen Yuan naturally understood the waiter’s gaze and his expression turned awkward.
He looked at Little Ah Yu beside him. “Didn’t you come to look for me because of your family?”
Little Ah Yu shook her head. “No, I wanted to come by myself.”
Now, Ah Yu began to feel guilty. She did not expect her family to come looking for her so quickly.
She was still thinking that after talking to Uncle Chen, she would hurry to Big Brother Ah You’s house. Her family would not know that she had lied to them.
It was only at this moment that Little Ah Yu realized that she was lying.
Chen Yuan was a little helpless. He held Little Ah Yu’s hand and walked out of the private room. As expected, he saw the anxious Wang Family.
Beside Liu Shi stood Old man Wang and an old woman who looked travel-worn.
Before Chen Yuan could think about who this old lady was, Little Ah Yu had already broken free from his hand and pounced over.
“Grandma...”
Old Madam Wang was originally still a little angry. But seeing Little Ah Yu’s enthusiastic appearance, how could she bear to criticize her? She could only hurriedly squat down and hug Little Ah Yu.
“Hey, Grandma’s obedient girl. You really scared Grandma to death.” Old Madam Wang was really afraid.
She had just returned to the Wang Family and had just walked halfway when she met Liu Shi, who had gone to buy something. When she asked, she found out that Ah Yu was not at home and was at Qin Huai’s house.
After taking a few steps, she turned around and went to Qin Huai’s house, wanting to bring Little Ah Yu back.
...
In the end, the Qin Family’s guard was even more confused than them. “Miss Ah Yu? She’s not at your house?”
The gatekeeper’s question almost made Liu Shi faint.
What? Ah Yu was actually not here!
Then where did Ah Yu go?
Old Madam Wang could not even care less about the others and walked out. She asked everyone if they had seen Ah Yu.
Liu Shi also hurriedly followed after her.
Fortunately, there were many people in town who knew Ah Yu. Soon, someone told them that they saw Little Ah Yu go to the South River Inn.
Only then did the two of them rush over.
“Ah Yu, didn’t Grandma say that you can’t walk around alone? If you encounter bad people, you’ll never see your family again! You can’t do this again.”
In the end, Old Madam Wang could not help but reprimand Ah Yu in a heavy tone.
Little Ah Yu knew that she was in the wrong and kept nodding. “Grandma, I know my mistake. I won’t do this again.”
...
Beside her, Chen Yuan: “...” Did he look like a bad person?
Old Madam Wang had naturally never seen Chen Yuan before. Liu Shi hurriedly introduced him to them.
Knowing that this person wanted to buy the recipe for the buns, Old Madam Wang nodded slightly.
“I just came back, so please forgive me if we didn’t entertain you well. Let me go home and settle down first. I’ll visit you tomorrow,” Old Madam Wang said.
Chen Yuan realized that the person in front of him was likely the head of the Wang Family, so his attitude was even better. “Senior, you’re too polite. I’ll wait for you here.”
When Old Madam Wang brought Liu Shi and Little Ah Yu back, Chen Yuan looked at their backs thoughtfully.
He called the waiter at the side and asked him, “Which family is that old lady from?”
The waiter scratched his head and said uncertainly, “I really don’t know. However, their Wang Family just moved here. It’s said that they’re country folks who moved here from the village.”
“Country folks?” Chen Yuan found it a little funny, but seeing that the waiter really did not know much, he waved his hand and let him go.
When he returned to the private room again, Chen Yuan pondered as he ate.
Initially, he thought that the Wang Family was quite simple, but he could not make up his mind about the recipe. He thought that it was the first time they had seen so much money and did not know how to deal with it.
However, after seeing Old Madam Wang, Chen Yuan quickly overturned his previous thoughts.
Although this old woman was dressed ordinarily, her aura could not be blocked, especially since she was travel-worn. However, her speech was especially appropriate and neither servile nor overbearing.
It was obvious that she was raised by a good family. Chen Yuan had traveled the world for so many years, so he naturally knew that some things could not be faked.
In that case, he had to think about what attitude he should assume to discuss the business tomorrow.
