Liu Sandao had no words to begin with; he couldn't interject into their conversation at all.
But ever since Qian Shumei revealed her name, Bai Suxiang would occasionally cover her chest.
Although she was wearing a dress, it wasn't low-cut or revealing. There was no need for her to constantly cover her chest.
Liu Sandao remained silent, carefully observing Bai Suxiang.
Soon, he understood everything.
It must have been the Qilin Jade, signaling to her that this woman was the one they were looking for.
A divorced woman with a child, working as a nanny in someone else's home to fund her child's education, facing a disaster indeed merited assistance.
The two women drank seven or eight bottles of beer, which was quite something.
Finally, Qian Shumei mentioned she knew a small inn owner who could offer them an extremely low price, and most importantly, the environment was really good.
Knowing Bai Suxiang's intentions, Liu Sandao was naturally willing to cooperate.
The two followed Qian Shumei to a small inn, only about a hundred meters from the noodle shop. A spray-painted sign stood at the entrance, reading "Lucky Inn."
If it weren't for Qian Shumei's introduction, the two would never have stayed here.
It looked like a residential house that had been directly converted, much like the small inns next to the train station in Sandong City.
Seeing the inn's sign, Bai Suxiang's drunkenness half-woke her. Someone had once told her that the small inns by train stations were all scams, or involved in illegal businesses, otherwise they couldn't stay open.
The real reason Bai Suxiang had actively approached Qian Shumei was because the Qilin Jade vibrated intensely when it was near her. Especially when it heard her name, it kept vibrating, just like when they had found Li Langqing before.
This was the true reason Bai Suxiang approached Qian Shumei.
Liu Sandao had told her his purpose for coming to Wu Kuai City on the way. Bai Suxiang had a clear understanding, and by chance, she encountered Qian Shumei as soon as they arrived in Wu Kuai City. How could she let such an opportunity slip away?
Despite their doubts, they followed Qian Shumei's lead into the inn.
The inn's entrance was small, but inside was a miniature courtyard with a few scattered evergreens.
"Old Jia, hurry! We have guests, treat my sister well!"
Qian Shumei shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard.
At that moment, a man in his fifties or sixties emerged from a room.
He wore a pair of glasses, and behind the thick lenses were a pair of lecherous eyes.
His head was bald from his forehead to the crown. Upon seeing Bai Suxiang, he walked forward enthusiastically to greet her.
Seemingly sensing his ill intentions, Qian Shumei deliberately pushed his hand away and said, "This is my sister, and her boyfriend. They're staying here, so you must offer a good discount!"
"Hehehe, of course, of course. Anyone you introduce will get the best prices, don't worry!"
Old Jia said, his eyes never leaving Bai Suxiang.
"Here, go this way, the rooms on this side are better!"
Qian Shumei led Bai Suxiang towards a row of rooms on the left side of the courtyard.
"Give them a room with a large bed!"
Qian Shumei instructed.
Nowadays, young men and women were no longer so reserved. Especially those traveling under the guise of vacationing, how many of them stayed in separate rooms?
Old Jia's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction upon hearing this, but it quickly turned into indifference.
Women, he had seen many, but any new face would inevitably ignite the fire in his heart.
"Give us two rooms!"
Liu Sandao said.
One room, and a large bed at that, how could that possibly work?
"This?..." Qian Shumei was stunned at first, then chuckled, "Whatever you say! Hehehe!"
"You don't know, sister, he snores terribly when he sleeps! It keeps me from sleeping soundly! Look, my dark circles are from him tormenting me these past two days!"
Bai Suxiang hastily explained.
"Oh, hehe, really! Alright, alright, whatever you wish. Old Jia, did you hear that? The lowest discount, and now they need two rooms!"
Qian Shumei said, patting Bai Suxiang and turning to Old Jia.
Old Jia's face lit up, "Good, good, good. We have the best rooms here, I'll give you the lowest prices!"
Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao followed Old Jia to see the rooms he had arranged.
Bai Suxiang's room had a large bed, and the price, after a 50% discount, was 150 per day. It had a private bathroom and toilet, and a dressing table. It looked exactly like a couple's room.
Liu Sandao's room was just a regular twin room with two separate single beds, and also had a private bathroom and toilet.
The environment wasn't particularly good, but it looked relatively clean.
Qian Shumei seemed to have genuinely accepted Bai Suxiang as her sister. As she was leaving, she gave her a phone number, telling her to call anytime if she needed anything, and that she was available 24 hours.
It's said that good people meet good people, and Bai Suxiang had indeed met a good person.
After Qian Shumei left, Old Jia kept running into her room, sometimes claiming to bring hot water, sometimes to adjust the air conditioning.
In contrast, Liu Sandao was alone in his room. Forget hot water, even the cold water tap in his bathroom was broken, and he couldn't turn it for a long time.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A knock on the door. Liu Sandao, lying on the bed, lazily asked, "Who is it!"
"It's me, can you come with me to buy some things!"
Upon hearing it was Bai Suxiang, Liu Sandao got up to open the door.
At this moment, Old Jia enthusiastically said, "What do you need to buy? There's a large supermarket 200 meters to the east and a large market 300 meters to the west! Toiletries, I have them all here at the inn!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, boss!"
Bai Suxiang replied perfunctorily. The boss was too enthusiastic, which made her a little uncomfortable.
After leaving the inn, Bai Suxiang headed west. She planned to buy some clothes. She had left in a hurry and hadn't brought anything.
When she told Liu Sandao her plan, he nodded.
Qian Shumei was the target they were looking for, but how could they get close to her?
If they didn't get close to her, they couldn't stop the soul spirit sent to harm her.
Then their trip to Wu Kuai City would have been in vain.
After Qian Shumei left the Lucky Inn, she headed straight for her employer's house.
Her employer's surname was Lin, named Lin Jiashan, a big boss. He lived in the most luxurious residential area in Wu Kuai City, where the housing prices were ten thousand yuan per square meter, and his house was a massive four to five hundred square meters.
She had worked for them for several years. The reason she hadn't left was because they treated her well and paid her a high salary. She had worked as a nanny for many families before, earning little money and working hard.
Since joining the Lin family, they had treated her like family, especially the mistress, who treated her like a sister. If she ever felt unwell, they would take good care of her. For a period, she had wished this was her own home.
"Mei Jie! You're back. Can you pick out that black suit that Jiashan wore the day before yesterday!"
