“Have you all not decided yet?” The middle-aged woman asked impatiently. However, her attitude changed when she saw a delicate girl walking out of the house and said to her, “Xiao Shu! Go greet the guests.”
Hearing the woman’s command, the girl took the menu and walked to the table where the four men were sitting.
“One serving of braised pork, one serving of stir-fried vegetables, and one serving of dumplings.”
Jiang Xia was extremely disgusted by the waitress who was standing beside her. She quickly ordered three things so that the woman would leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe menu was originally in Jiang Chuan’s hands. However, Jiang Chuan wanted Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu to eat what they wanted so he allowed them the chance to order. Jiang Gu was dazzled by the menu the whole time and wanted to eat everything. As a last resort, the task of ordering fell on Jiang Xia.
After hearing Jiang Xia’s order, the middle-aged woman looked at them for a few more seconds before asking the kitchen staff to cook.
Compared to the middle-aged waitress at Jiang Xia’s table, the young girl at the table of four men introduced the dishes in much more detail. She even specifically mentioned which dishes had just arrived that morning and were still fresh.
Shen Mo didn’t say anything. The middle-aged man beside him was ordering. He ordered whatever the girl said was good without asking if Shen Mo wanted to eat.
After the girl was sent away, the middle-aged man said to Shen Mo, “Look, that’s the girl who told me those things.”
Shen Mo looked in the direction the middle-aged man was looking and unexpectedly met Jiang Xia’s eyes, which were secretly peeping at him.
It wasn’t that Jiang Xia had any feelings for Young Master Shen, but she suddenly remembered that the man from the town said that there would be a high rank coming down to inspect. Could it be that Young Master Shen had really contacted the higher-ups?
After being caught peeking, Jiang Xia awkwardly averted her gaze and turned around to chat with Jiang Gu as if she had not seen anything.
The middle-aged man, who was about to greet Jiang Xia, saw Jiang Xia turn his face away and looked at Shen Mo. He sighed and said, “Young Master, if you keep staring at the girl like that, you might scare her away!”
Hearing the man’s words, Shen Mo frowned and asked, “What look?”
The middle-aged man stared at her silently for a while before he finally found the right words to say, “It’s like you are looking at a criminal.”
Shen Mo’s brows furrowed as he denied, “I didn’t.”
“Let your subordinate take a look.”
As the man spoke, he turned his attention to the two men who were watching silently. The two soldiers under Shen Mo did not look old, at most in their early twenties. When they heard Officer Wang bring the topic to them, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

“Since we happen to see her, let’s ask her to bring us to the countryside to take a look.”
The middle-aged man was a little surprised. “You’re going to take a look now? What are you going to look at? How to collect food? Aren’t you going to wait for the people your father sent?”
“Uncle Wang, you talk too much.”
The man’s series of questions made Shen Mo’s veins pop out. He didn’t think too much about it initially. He just wanted to make a quick inspection when he saw that he had found the person. Who knew that Uncle Wang would throw him a bunch of questions.
Officer Wang saw the look on Shen Mo’s face and understood that the young master was just saying it casually and did not think much about the situation. “How about this? I’ll go say hello first and get to know the little girl. After we get to know each other, we’ll arrange a time for the little girl to bring us to take a look.” The man told him his thoughts.
Shen Mo nodded. If they rashly let them take them to the village, they would be misunderstood as bad people and the villagers would probably avoid them if they saw them.
Shen Mo was right. Jiang Xia wanted to run away now. She was sure that the middle-aged man had recognized her. Otherwise, why would he keep looking at her?
She really did not want to be in the limelight.
Both Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan noticed their daughter’s unusual behavior. Jiang Chuan frowned and asked, “Xiao Xia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Jiang Xia, if you’re not feeling well, let us know. We can go to the hospital in town to get it checked.” Xiao Gu said with concern..
