Chapter 115-116: The Police Beauty Who Sells Crawfish

Lu Shiqing drove a white Porsche 911 Turbo S.

To most people, a top-spec car like this—nearing three million yuan—was a luxury vehicle.

But for someone of Lu Shiqing’s net worth, driving a three-million-yuan car was actually quite low-profile.

“Sister Shiqing, what’s the sudden reason for calling me out?”  Ye Xiao asked from the passenger seat.

“You’ve got some nerve asking me that. If Shiyu hadn’t seen you come this way, were you even planning to tell me?”

She had given Ye Xiao eight million, and yet after Ye Xiao disappeared into thin air and finally reappeared, the first person she went to see wasn’t her? Lu Shiqing spoke with a hint of annoyance.

“Of course not! I just came to the office first. I haven’t been there in over ten days—lots of things piled up,”

Ye Xiao explained, without mentioning Shen Yunchu at all.

As a certified flirt, she naturally knew not to bring up other girls in front of one.

Hearing that, Lu Shiqing’s mood eased a little.

Ye Xiao said she went to the company for business, not to see Shen Yunchu.

Even though Shen Yunchu seemed obedient and well-behaved, that only made her more of a threat.

What Lu Shiqing hadn’t expected was how bold Ye Xiao had become—daring to go after President Gu’s wife, and even having the nerve to invite all of them out…

Then running off herself after inviting them?

Lu Shiqing had no idea what Ye Xiao was thinking. If she really offended them to the point of no return, and if Su Ruoxue—or herself—ended up hating her, Yun-Xiao’s development in Binhai would definitely run into serious trouble.

After all, the Gu Group was the largest enterprise in Binhai, with assets close to 100 billion.

Gu Tingyuan held 20% of the shares and was the executive president. Even government officials had to give him face.

With just one word, Yun-Xiao’s games might not even make it to market.

Just like Shen Yunchu, after learning where Ye Xiao was, Lu Shiqing didn’t inform the other girls.

“It’s about dinner time now anyway. Let’s find a place to eat and talk. What do you want?” Lu Shiqing said as she started the car.

“I’m fine with anything. Sister Shiqing, how about I treat this time?”

“How could I let you pay? Ye Xiao, thanks to you, I was able to expose Chen Chen’s true face. If not, I might’ve actually agreed to invest in his project.” Lu Shiqing said seriously.

“I heard there’s a place called ‘Xia Naonao’ that just opened on the west side—they do crawfish really well. Want to go there?” She suggested.

Apparently, the place had been taken over and reopened by a father and his three children, and because the food was so good, it quickly became popular in the western district of Binhai.

Ye Xiao had even seen it a few times on Douyin. Since Qin Yunxi didn’t like spicy food, she had once ordered several garlic-flavored dishes from there.

“Sure!”

Ye Xiao had no objections, though she was a bit worried that someone like Lu Shiqing, a rich heiress, might not be used to common food like this.

But she was overthinking. Lu Shiqing was still human—rich, yes, but she didn’t eat Australian lobsters or king crab every day.

When they arrived at the crawfish place, the environment was decent and the prices weren’t high.

A group of four or five could eat for around 300–500 yuan. With just the two of them, it’d cost even less.

The place was packed. Ye Xiao and Lu Shiqing had to wait over half an hour before getting a table.

Once seated, a young man came over with the menu.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and ordered a garlic-flavored dish—just in case she and Sister Shiqing got close later tonight. If the spice got to her, that’d be a problem.

Lu Shiqing didn’t think too hard and directly ordered a spicy one—with extra spice.

Most people in Binhai preferred sweet and umami flavors, so Ye Xiao hadn’t expected Lu Shiqing to have such a bold taste.

Not only did she bring her to such a down-to-earth place, but she also liked her food this spicy?

Though she had already won Lu Shiqing over, Ye Xiao still saw her as somewhat lofty and out of reach, a bit like a dream.

Now, Lu Shiqing’s image in her eyes suddenly became more grounded and real.

Not long after they sat down, the man who had taken their order brought over two small ceramic jars of yogurt as complimentary gifts.

Ye Xiao had always had a fondness for this kind of yogurt. In her opinion, the best-tasting yogurt she had ever had growing up was always the kind that came in ceramic jars.

She had thought that after crossing over to this world, she’d never get to drink it again. To her surprise, they had it here too.

Holding the jar, she pierced the thin foil seal with a straw and started sipping delicately, like a little kitten.

Soon, their crawfish dishes arrived.

The portions were generous, they even got free yogurt, and the taste was great—it was no wonder business was booming.

As Ye Xiao lifted her head in thought, she saw that the person bringing over the crawfish was a beautiful older woman.

She looked familiar, though Ye Xiao couldn’t immediately place her.

But then she slapped her own forehead—she remembered. “Sister Nanxi, why are you suddenly a poli—”

Before Ye Xiao could finish her sentence, Liu Nanxi’s eyes widened and she quickly reached out to cover Ye Xiao’s mouth. Ye Xiao could only make muffled sounds.

Lu Shiqing frowned and looked up, just about to scold the waiter—how dare the staff manhandle Ye Xiao in a restaurant?

If she didn’t get an explanation, she’d definitely report Xia Naonao to the Commerce Bureau!

But when she looked up and recognized the woman, her expression turned to surprise.

Other people might not know Liu Nanxi’s identity, but how could Lu Shiqing not?

Liu Nanxi was the niece of the Municipal Party Secretary. The Secretary had no children, so he treated his niece like his own daughter.

Lu Shiqing had met Liu Nanxi several times at city charity banquets, and the two had a pretty decent relationship.

“Nanxi, why are you working here as a waitress?” Lu Shiqing asked.

“Boss! The bill!”

At that moment, a table of customers waved toward Liu Nanxi, clearly regulars.

“Coming! You two go ahead and eat. Once it’s less busy, we’ll talk.” Liu Nanxi said, giving the two of them a meaningful look before heading to the other table.

Both girls in front of her—one knew she was a police officer, the other even knew her family background.

She’d have to explain things properly later so they wouldn’t go blabbing.

Ye Xiao also looked over at that table and noticed someone who looked a little familiar.

After a brief moment of recall, it all came back.

Wasn’t that guy the gangster boss who had once blocked her on the street?
