Chapter 379 Old Friends
Chapter 379 Old Friends
Si He looked at the man in front of her through the veil. She could tell who he was by the subtle details of his clothes.
It seems that the man really had his eyes on her. After she left the house, he sent someone to follow her here. She didn't believe it was a coincidence. Moreover, she was wearing a veil today and wrapped up tightly, so he still recognized her. If he said that she just happened to be here, that would be weird.
Si He frowned slightly. Thinking that Yue Fuli was also in this restaurant, she could only try to handle it as low-key as possible.
"lead the way."
She didn't refuse, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to be discovered by Yue Fuli.
The man was a little surprised. He originally thought that she would ask questions and would not go with him. After all, she was just a girl. He did not expect her to be so straightforward and bold.
But she was willing to go, and it saved him the trouble.
Without saying anything more, the two walked towards the opposite stairs, one after the other, to the private room upstairs.
This restaurant is the largest one in the city. The lobby is hollow, and there are stairs on both sides leading to the private rooms upstairs.
The layout of the private rooms upstairs is also quite clever. Some windows face the street outside, while others can see what is happening in the lobby.
At this moment, there are quite a lot of guests in the lobby, it is very lively and noisy.
Although Si He's tightly wrapped outfit was a bit eye-catching, most women in the city dressed warmly when going out, so it was not too out of place.
Some people just glanced casually, then looked away and continued chatting and drinking.
But a pair of eyes from upstairs kept staring at her until she entered a private room opposite.
The guard next to him followed his gaze and was suddenly surprised, "Master, this is the girl from yesterday."
Although she was dressed simply in a cloth dress and a black veil, so that her face could not be seen, it was still easy to recognize her if someone paid attention to her.
For example, her figure, the way she walks, and her unique temperament make it easy to distinguish her from other girls.
Therefore, whether it was Yue Fuli or his guards, they quickly recognized her when they saw her figure.
They found it very strange that she appeared in the town alone yesterday, but they didn't have the time to meddle in other people's private affairs.
But today, she actually went out alone again, and happened to appear in this restaurant. It seemed too much of a coincidence no matter how you looked at it.
But now, he followed the others into the private room, which was a bit hard to understand.
"Master, do we need to investigate her identity?" the guard asked. After all, he felt that the woman was a bit suspicious.
"No need." Yue Fuli withdrew his gaze calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He will be leaving soon, so there is no need to investigate an unrelated woman. After all, she cannot be approached. If she really gets close, there is no need to investigate, there will be simpler ways to deal with it.
The guard looked into his cold eyes and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
the other side.
When Si He walked into the private room, she saw the man sitting in the main seat. He looked calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that his body was slightly tense. It seemed that meeting her face to face made him a little nervous.
There were several tall guards around him. Relatively speaking, these guards were indifferent. After all, she was just a girl, and they were very confident in their own abilities.
"I don't know what the girl's name is?"
The man sitting on the main seat spoke, his eyes fixed on her, even though the veil was tightly covering her face so that he couldn't see it at all.
Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly, "You invited me here, but you don't know who I am?"
This old man was the familiar person she met when she first came to Qingmu City and checked into the inn.
She didn't remember it or care about it at the time, but when they met again yesterday, she remembered who he was.
She had originally thought of looking for him in that restaurant yesterday, but because the bone bead suddenly reacted, she temporarily put this person behind her.
Unexpectedly, instead of her going to look for him, he came to her.
He has grown braver and older, and he is no longer the little brat he used to be.
This person was the child she had taken in, Wei Xiaohu.
Originally, they took him in out of pity for him, but they didn't expect that he would eventually steal the money and the bronze tripod for profit.
Although the bronze tripod was finally recovered, she still suffered a loss.
She and Ning Ji did not track his whereabouts that year, mainly because they did not want to waste their time on him. It was better to lose some money than to lose it.
She had almost forgotten all these things, but she didn't expect to see him again today, and he was the one who took the initiative to invite her over.
At this moment, when Wei Xiaohu heard her voice, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shrank, and dusty memories suddenly emerged like a tide.
When they met in the inn before, he didn't remember who she was because she was dressed too warmly and her face was covered by a veil. But when he saw her face clearly yesterday, he was really shocked.
Wei Xiaohu was deeply impressed by her face, even though it was a memory from his childhood.
But decades have passed, he is old now, and this girl is very young, very similar to the man back then!
He had some guesses in his mind, perhaps, they just looked similar, or perhaps, she was that person's descendant.
But he still couldn't help it, so he asked someone to check her background. Then today, when he learned that she had gone out, he followed her to the restaurant and invited her over.
Now, hearing this familiar voice, he was shocked.
He thought, perhaps, she really was that man's descendant, that's why even her appearance and voice were so similar.
"The young lady looks similar to an old friend of mine, so I would like to ask her to come over and have a chat." He quickly restrained his expression and smiled indifferently.
Hearing this, Si He reached out and pushed aside the gauze on the veil.
When she showed her beautiful face, Wei Xiaohu's expression changed. Although he had seen her face yesterday, he was still shocked when he saw her up close.
so similar!
No, it should be said that they are exactly the same!
Not only does he have the same appearance and voice, but even his eyes and temperament are very similar, as if he is the same person from back then!
But how could a person maintain their appearance unchanged after decades? Wouldn't that make them immortal?
"You, you..." Wei Xiaohu was a little speechless. After a while, he said, "I wonder if the young lady's ancestors were from Beisha?"
He asked politely, but at the time he really didn't know the man's name. He only knew that the man's husband's surname was Ding.
Si He looked at his anxious expression, thought for a moment, and said, "No."
Since he guessed wrong, then let it be. It is really not appropriate to create unnecessary trouble at this time.
"Sir, I'm afraid you've got the wrong person. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
As she spoke, she lowered the gauze of her veil again to cover her face.
