âWhy do you want to understand her?â the middle-aged man couldnât help asking, his expression still skeptical.
âI heard from you that Lan Ningâer doesnât seem to have a good temper. Iâm afraid that I wonât know what to do if I meet her, so I want to understand her first,â the little old man said very patiently.
âOh! Miss Lan Ningâer is our Boundless Heaven Continentâs number one beauty. However, if you see an incomparably beautiful woman on the streets, you have to avoid her so that you wonât suffer from an undeserved calamity,â the middle-aged man reminded kindly.
âUh! Why is that?â The little old manâs face was full of question marks.?Is Lan Ningâer a tiger? Why should I avoid her?
The middle-aged man was about to explain when someone suddenly shouted, âLan Ningâer is here!â
Immediately, the entire restaurant became a mess, and everyone instantly scatteredâ¦
The little old man looked at the empty dining room in surprise. The people had run away cleanly in the blink of an eye. Several black lines unnaturally rolled down his forehead!
So what if Lan Ningâer is here! Why are you running? Can she still eat you??the little old man thought. Even now, he didnât really believe Lan Ningâerâs power. After all, he hadnât seen it with his own eyes yet!
Just as the little old man was frowning and thinking about it, Lan Ningâer was led into the dining roomâ¦
âFifth Miss, youâre here. Hehe, why didnât you inform us in advance so that we could prepare?â The inn manager walked directly to Lan Ningâerâs side and said respectfully when he saw her. In fact, he was very annoyed with Lan Ningâer in his heart, but she was a young lady of the Lan family! Therefore, he could only bear with it no matter how much he hated her. But every time Lan Ningâer came, many guests would be scared away. Uh! Donât count the losses caused to the inn on him.
âIâm here for a surprise inspection. How can I investigate if I let you prepare?â Lan Ningâer said matter-of-factly, a smug smile on her beautiful face.
âUh! Fifth Miss is right,â the inn manager said with a smile.
Lan Ningâer casually glanced at the dining room and then said with slight dissatisfaction, âManager, why isnât there anyone here?â
âUh!â The manager wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, not knowing how to answer. Could he say, âBecause Miss, youâve scared them away?â
After hearing what Lan Ningâerâs said, the little old man frowned, and the corner of his mouth twitched.?Arenât I human? Isnât there still Charm and me?
âManager, does Grandpa know that this innâs business is so bad?â Lan Ningâer questioned with some dissatisfaction.
âYes, the patriarch knows,â the manager said carefully and then added in his heart,?The patriarch also knows that business in the inn will only be so bad when you come here.
âOh, Grandpa knows, but I have to tell Grandpa when we get home that the innâs business isnât good. How can we continue like this!â Lan Ningâerâs beautiful face was full of worry.
âThe patriarch will definitely be very happy that Fifth Miss is so concerned about the Lan familyâs business,â the manager coaxed. But he couldnât help worrying in his heart. The business in the inn wouldnât be a problem as long as the fifth young lady stopped causing trouble a few times.
âYes, eh! Manager, why did you let a beggar in? Not just anyone can enter our stores.â Lan Ningâer turned her head and looked at the little old man disdainfully.
âErm⦠Ermâ¦â The manager was at a loss for words. Lan Ningâer liked to judge people by their appearance, so even if he said that this old man wasnât a beggar, it would probably not change her opinion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLittle girl, are you referring to me as a beggar?â The little old man pointed at himself and asked uncertainly. Then he looked around. Well, there was no one else in the inn except for him and the little fox!
âItâs you! Not just anyone can enter our Lan familyâs stores. Youâre not qualified!â Lan Ningâer said with a snobbish look.
âLittle girl, didnât your parents teach you not to judge a book by its cover?â the little old man said with some displeasure while suppressing his anger.
âYou damn old man, how dare you try to teach me? Who do you think you are?â Lan Ningâer was instantly angry and roared furiously when she saw this inconspicuous old man actually dared to lecture her.
âLittle girl, youâre really too rude.â The little old man shook his head in disappointment.?Alas! Why is the upbringing of the Lan family becoming worse and worse??He really couldnât understand!
âHmph! Thereâs no need for manners with beggars,â Lan Ningâer said nonchalantly.
ââ¦â The little old man was silent. It was his first time coming into contact with this Lan Ningâer, but he knew that he had lost. It seemed like this Lan familyâs fifth young lady was really not a good person!
âLetâs go!â Charm had jumped off the table at some point and was gently tugging at the little old manâs sleeve.
âAlas! Letâs go!â The little old man didnât want to stay in Blue Cloud City anymore. Otherwise, he would probably be even more disappointed.
âManager, weâre checking out.â The little old man turned to look at the inn manager and handed him a silver card.
âYes, please wait a moment.â The inn manager respectfully took the silver card from the little old man and turned to settle the bill.
After settling the bill, the little old man picked Charm up and turned to leave the inn. But he was stopped by someone after taking a few steps.
âOld thing, wait,â Lan Ningâer said loudly, afraid that the old man was deaf and couldnât hear her.
The little old man stopped and said irritably, âMiss Lan, is there anything else?â
âIs this little fox yours?â Lan Ningâerâs eyes lit up as she looked at Charm, who was entirely snow-white without a single stray hair.
âYes, he belongs to a beggar like me,â the little old man said coldly.
âLeave this fox behind before you can leave,â Lan Ningâer said domineeringly.
âWhy? Heâs mine.â The little old man hugged Charm tightly and pretended to be afraid.
âHmph! Heâs obviously mine. You stole my pet beast. Donât you all think so too?!â Lan Ningâer turned around and said to her subordinates, obviously lying through her teeth.
