Moreover, Jiang Ming did not know if Yuan Hehe was telling the truth when he said that he knew the lady boss.
He could not help but turn to look at Yuan Hehe. The latter seemed to have understood something. He coughed again and then turned to Sikong Wuyuan. “Have you seen the lady boss?”
Sikong Wuyuan shook his head. “Of course not. Moreover, I don’t think you’ve seen her before. You just wanted to go with Jiang Ming, so you said it on purpose.”
Yuan Hehe felt awkward when his thoughts were seen through, but he continued to be stubborn.
“No, I’ve just seen her. If you don’t believe me, we’ll know when we see her later.”
Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It did not matter whether Yuan Hehe saw the lady boss or not. He could not tell that the lady boss wanted to see him.
When they reached the innermost part of the cafe, the lady boss gradually appeared in front of them. Jiang Ming suddenly understood why she wanted to see him. He felt that she was too eager.
The lady boss who wanted to see him was Xu Chuchu!
At this time, Xu Chuchu had changed into a casual outfit and smiled at Jiang Ming.
Yuan Hehe was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Ming and then at Xu Chuchu.
He felt that Jiang Ming knew the woman in front of him, but then he felt that it was impossible. After all, the two of them had never interacted before, so how could they have known each other?
However, Chu Wanwan could sense the strange atmosphere.
She had the same thoughts as Yuan Hehe, but she also felt that the two of them definitely knew each other.
Then, she said with a smile.
“Do you know the lady boss? The lady boss is a beauty. She looks so pleasing to the eyes.”
Xu Chuchu smiled faintly. She lowered her head and bowed to Chu Wanwan. “Thank you, Chu Wanwan. You also look very beautiful. No wonder the chief loves you so much.”
Chu Wanwan did not say anything else. Instead, she stared at Jiang Ming.
She felt that these two people knew each other, but for some reason, they seemed to be avoiding each other. Could it be because of her?
Thinking of this, she could not help but clench her fists.
If the two of them were having an affair, then she might as well go all out and kill Jiang Ming.
Anyway, there were many men in the world, so it was not a big deal to get rid of Jiang Ming.
As she was thinking about it, Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “I don’t know her. It’s my first time in this cafe, and you brought me here. How can I know her? I also wonder why the lady boss is looking for me.”
He raised his head and looked at Xu Chuchu with an indifferent expression, as if he really did not know her. However, he was extremely confused.
They had already agreed to meet, so why did they have to meet here?
In fact, Xu Chuchu was also confused.
She originally thought that she would have to meet Jiang Ming alone to see the result. She did not expect him to come to the cafe she opened.
However, it was also good. She could take this opportunity to hand over the item to him. This way, there would be no need for her to meet him later, and she would not have to rush over at night.
Thinking of this, she thought for a moment and said, “I saw Jiang Ming from afar. He looked so regal. It was obvious that he was a n.o.ble person. I once received a prophecy from my master. If I met such a person, I would give him my family heirloom. Now that I have met him, I want to give it to him.”
As she spoke, she took out a small box from her pocket and wanted to stuff it into Jiang Ming’s hands, but Chu Wanwan stopped her.
Chu Wanwan wanted to pull the box over. “How do I know if what you said is true or not?” she asked. “There might be something in here that will poison Jiu Zhu. You can’t tell what’s in a person’s mind. Who knows what you’re really thinking?”
Xu Chuchu did not expect her to be so vigilant. She frowned and said, “This is something I gave to Jiu Zhu. If someone else touches it, the thing inside might disappear. As for whether or not there is anything bad in it, Jiu Zhu should be able to see it. Ms. Wanwan, you don’t have to be so worried.”
Hearing this, Chu Wanwan felt uncomfortable and frowned.
“As his wife, am I not allowed to check these things? Or are you trying to hide something from me? I advise you to behave yourself and give me the box obediently. This way, we won’t have any conflicts.”
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe could not help but be surprised.
The two of them did not expect that these two women would quarrel over a box. It seemed that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, and they did not know how to resolve it.
Then, they looked at Jiang Ming.
In the end, the source of their quarrel was Jiang Ming, so Jiang Ming should have a way to persuade the two of them to stop arguing.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming was also dumbfounded.
It was just a box. How could it be related to harming people? Moreover, it was not like he did not know Xu Chuchu.
He had even saved Xu Chuchu. How could she harm him?
“I’ll see it.” He looked at Chu Wanwan and said, “Since this thing will disappear, let me open it. Chu Wanwan, you don’t have to worry. I’m someone who knows how to cast spells, so I’m sure about this.”
“But…”
Chu Wanwan stuttered. She felt really uncomfortable in her heart.
She felt that Jiang Ming was speaking up for Xu Chuchu, but she had no evidence. She could only feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, could feel Chu Wanwan’s unhappiness and could not help but frown.
He did not understand what was wrong with Chu Wanwan. Why was she in such a bad mood? A woman’s heart was so complicated!
At the thought of this, he decided not to continue asking. Instead, he focused on the box.
However, Chu Wanwan changed her mind at this time. She quickly said, “Let me keep this box. Jiu Zhu, since I’m your wife, I think it’s fine. Give it to me.”
As she spoke, she wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the box again, but Xu Chuchu dodged.
Xu Chuchu shook her head and said, “No matter what, this is your husband’s item. It’s not good for you to open it yourself. Even if you’re his wife, you still have to respect his privacy.”
Chu Wanwan exploded when she heard the last part of the sentence.
“What privacy? We’re husband and wife. What privacy can there be between us?”
“What’s wrong with you, Lady Boss? Why are you so dumb?”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start quarreling again, Sikong Wuyuan quickly said, “This is just a small matter. There’s no need for you to quarrel. I think you should continue drinking tea. As for the box, we’ll talk about it later.”
