Qin Xi did not expect Xue Ya to be the one behind this who was causing her trouble.

She really did not understand why Xue Ya would go against her since she had once helped her.

Was it about money?

Or… was she instructed by the mayor?

“Miss Qin, what’s wrong? Do you not like the food?”

Seeing that Qin Xi was silent, the chauffeur asked in confusion.

The chauffeur’s name was Wang. He had been with Meng Chang’an for almost ten years and had seen all kinds of big shots. This was the first time Meng Chang’an asked him to send a young girl home.

He did not think that Meng Chang’an had any improper relationship with this young lady, but he vaguely heard his superior call her ‘Master’. Therefore, he was very respectful to Qin Xi along the way.

Qin Xi smiled. “No, I was just lost in thought. Let’s eat.”

“Okay!”

After dinner, Qin Xi asked Wang to go back. Wang wanted to send her home, but Qin Xi still had something to do and had to leave.

Qin Xi arrived at the town government. The janitor was an old man. Seeing that she was unfamiliar, he quickly stopped her.

“Young lady, who are you looking for? This is the town government. You can’t enter casually.”

Qin Xi revealed her signature smile and said politely, “I’m here to look for the mayor. It’s related to something very important. Can you help me inform him? Just tell him that someone surnamed Qin from Shangwan Village is here.”

The old man looked at Qin Xi incredulously. How could a young girl have something important to tell the Mayor? At the thought of this, he waved his hand and said impatiently, “Young lady, the mayor is a busy person. Not everyone can see him. Go back!”

Qin Xi knew that words alone couldn’t possibly persuade the janitor. She smiled faintly. “Grandpa, have you been feeling out of breath recently like there is a lump stuck in your throat that you can’t spit out?”

The old man asked in surprise, “Yo, how did you know?”

Qin Xi smiled and said, “Grandpa, I have a way to make that feeling disappear. Can you do me a favor?”

The old man agreed immediately. “Alright, you want to see the mayor, don’t you? I’ll help you inform him, but whether he wants to see you or not is none of my business.”

Qin Xi took out a pen and paper and wrote down a recipe. She handed it to him. “Grandpa, eat according to this. You’ll be fine after two days.”

“Cherry, chives, carrots…” Seeing that they were all ordinary veggies, the old man frowned and said in disbelief,” Cant these treat my illness? Little girl, are you fooling me? ”

Qin Xi asked calmly, “Grandpa, are you a picky eater? You basically don’t eat vegetables, right? Not even pickled vegetables.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The janitor was surprised. “Hey, you’re really smart. You can even tell that I don’t eat vegetables. Alright, I believe you. I’ll try it for two days.”

Qin Xi explained, “Don’t worry, it’s because you don’t eat vegetables that your body is lacking some nutrients. In the future, you have to eat at least some veggies for the sake of your health.”

“Hahaha, okay, I’ll buy some veggies on my way back tonight.”

The old man picked up the walkie-talkie and told the security guard to inform the mayor.

“Alright, I got someone to inform the mayor. Wait here!”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him.

“Why are you here?”

Qin Xi’s smile did not change. She turned around and tilted her head, asking rhetorically, “Don’t you know why I’m here?”

“Why should I know?”

Xue Ya felt a little guilty under Qin Xi’s intent gaze. However, when she thought about how she was about to get money out of this village girl’s pocket, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
