Chapter 77 - 77 A Gossipy Heart At Work
77 A Gossipy Heart At Work
Yin Xun immediately felt ashamed. She thought that if she had the chance one day, she would invite a chef to her house and treat Fang Yao to a good meal to make up for that regretful day.
The butler, who was standing at the side, said apologetically, “Miss Yin, I am really sorry. We have prepared too little for dinner.”
Yin Xun looked at the table in front of her which was almost filled to the brim and was a little speechless. Was this considered too little? If this was considered too little, then her invitation to Fang Yao that day was outright shabby.
“I’ll get the kitchen to make a few more dishes immediately. Please wait a moment…” The butler continued.
“Wait!” Yin Xun saw that the butler had really turned around and walked toward the kitchen. She quickly stopped him. “Uncle Butler, thank you for your kindness, but this is enough.”
“Then, Miss Yin, do you have anything that you like to eat? How about I get the kitchen to make a few dishes that you like?” The butler continued to offer. “We are already so familiar with each other, so you must not stand on ceremony. If you want to eat anything, just say it. Coincidentally, we have a lot of dishes today.”
“Thank you, Uncle Butler, but this is really enough.” Yin Xun rejected the offer with a smile.
“Alright then. Call me if you need me.” The butler looked regretful. “I won’t disturb you from dining together.”
After bidding farewell to Yin Xun and Fang Yao, the butler turned around and left.
Fang Yao had been watching the butler from the side. Seeing that he was only concerned about Yin Xun the entire time and did not ask him a single question, he could not help but feel a little helpless.
As expected, ever since he met Yin Xun, the butler became more and more biased. His attention was focused on Yin Xun and he forgot that he was a member of the Fang family.
After the butler disappeared, Yin Xun heaved a long sigh of relief.
Fang Yao raised his eyebrows. “Is the butler giving you pressure?”
Yin Xun smiled and said, “No, I just feel that I’m too enthusiastic. It’s a little difficult to refuse.”
Fang Yao also smiled and nodded. “From the looks of it, he must have treated you well when I wasn’t at home.”
“Indeed, he has been very good to me! The dinner that day was even more sumptuous than today. I only ate two mouthfuls of each dish. I was full after tasting them all.” After saying that, Yin Xun suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, that girl called Qu Lu also came that day. She said that she told your mother that you have a girlfriend. She even said that your mother would come over. What happened after that?”
Yin Xun would never admit that she was into gossip. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, she was still curious. This was because, in the original novel, the author did not write much about the Fang family. It was basically just a summary.
Fang Yao’s hand, which was picking up food, paused for a moment. He looked up and saw Yin Xun’s curious gaze. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly. “You’ll know about this in the future.”
“Alright.” This meant that he did not want to say it right now. Although Yin Xun was curious, she knew that it would be impolite to ask further. After all, this was someone else’s family matter.
Seeing that Yin Xun had no intention of pursuing the matter, Fang Yao’s lips curled up slightly. He said calmly, “I heard you were kidnapped today. Was Xing Cheng the one who planned this kidnapping?”
“You’re really well-informed,” Yin Xun said in surprise.
However, after thinking about it, she realized that it made sense. The Fang family was not an ordinary family, and she wanted to work with him. He would definitely find someone to watch over her.
Overbearing novels were usually like this. The president of a super powerful family had spies all over the country. No matter what happened, the overbearing man would always be able to obtain accurate information, even if it was something only the dead knew. Perhaps Fang Yao had such a setting too.
“I didn’t send anyone to investigate you. It just so happened that there was an old acquaintance at the police station. When I heard you say that you had something to do at the police station, I casually checked with him and found out.” Fang Yao seemed to have seen through Yin Xun’s thoughts and explained.
Yin Xun, “…”
Alright, she was thinking too much.
“There’s one thing…” Fang Yao continued, “This morning, the fire department conducted a surprise inspection. Dawn Club closed down because they failed.”
“Well done!” Yin Xun nodded with a smile. “Although this matter can’t have a substantial impact on Si Fan, when coupled with Xing Cheng’s matter, it’s enough to deal him a blow.”
Yin Xun’s eyes were sparkling at this moment. She looked at Fang Yao and said, “Xing Cheng is going to jail this time. He can forget about coming out of prison for a while. I’ve already asked my lawyer to prepare evidence of his crime. Even if he can settle this matter, having a backer would be useless with such a substantial criminal case against him.”
