The supervisor was stunned.

This teenage girl actually said that she wanted to set up a restaurant of his level everywhere in the world!

What an expenditure!

However, her expression was serious and there was no sign of her joking.

When he was young, he also had such thoughts, but he was afraid of failure and had never started. Now that he was already middle-aged, he actually had the chance to fulfill his ambitions?

After a while, the supervisor revealed a solemn expression. “Alright, my name is Zhang Dongzhi. Miss, you can just call me by my name.”

Bai Xianyu had originally prepared a bunch of words to convince him, but now that he had agreed, it saved her a lot of trouble.

“Then there’s another problem now. Although the name of your restaurant is pleasant to the ears, it’s not easy to remember. There are at least thousands of inns and restaurants called Fortune. How about this? Let’s change it to Sandstorm Crossing.”

The girl pondered for a second. She dipped her finger into the tea and slowly wrote three characters on the brand new mahogany table.

“What a good name!” After the shopkeeper finished praising it, he felt puzzled and hissed, “But this name sounds like it comes from the Northwest Desert.”

Bai Xianyu retracted her hand and smiled.

Sandstorm Crossing, the place where the sandstorm resided.

The General could also see peace.

The Yu Residence.

Bai Xianyu walked along the street for a long time, and now her legs were a little weak.

Green Pearl saw that she had worked hard. “Miss, why don’t I make some tonic soup for you?”

“Alright.”

Bai Xianyu had just entered the house when Yu Fengyan and Yu Boquan entered.

She paused slightly. “Aunt?”

Yu Fengyan smiled and walked forward to size her up. “How are you? Have you been feeling better recently?”

“Much better.”

“It’s good that you’re better. 1 brought Bo Quan to apologize to you today.”

Bai Xianyu raised an eyebrow.

Yu Boquan said honestly, “Last time, I didn’t protect you well and almost let you fall into the water. Fortunately, your guards were around. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t be able to absolve myself of the blame even if 1 died ten thousand times.”

Bai Xianyu nodded calmly, but she was already calculating in her heart to find time to warn her aunt that

her son and husband were probably not good people.

Yu Fengyan smiled and tried to smooth things over. “It’s good to speak about this openly. I’m just afraid that there will be a misunderstanding between the two of you. Although Quan’er is usually a little mischievous, he’s still kind-hearted.”

Bai Xianyu smiled without saying anything.

“How about we go to Mother’s place before it gets dark so that she could chat with you?”

“…Alright.” Bai Xianyu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Bai Xianyu glanced at Yu Boquan, who had been looking around, and her red lips curled up. “Cousin, you walk fast. Why don’t you lead the way? I still can’t find my way to some places.”

A trace of darkness flashed across Yu Boquan’s eyes.

“… Alright.”

Not long after the three of them went to Old Madam’s house, Green Pearl returned with some hot soup.

She did not see Bai Xianyu and started to tidy up the room.

When she tidied up the incense burner, she frowned slightly.

Why did she remember that this auspicious beast pattern was facing her when she went out? Why was it facing the wall now?

Green Pearl lifted it up and took a look. There was no difference inside.

She probably remembered it wrongly.

After tidying up, she placed the tonic soup on the table and lit the incense. When Miss returned and took a bath after finishing the soup, the room would already be filled with a faint fragrance. She would definitely be able to recuperate well.

Bai Xianyu had her dinner at Old Madam’s place with them before returning.

Thinking of the way Yu Boquan looked at her today, Bai Xianyu felt an indescribable chill run down her spine.

“Bai Li.”

Bai Li walked out from beside her. “Miss.”

“Get a few guards to find an inn. We’ll move out tomorrow.”

Bai Li nodded and instructed the guards.

Bai Xianyu returned to her room and saw that the lights had already been lit. There was also a pot of soup in front of her. She looked around. “Green Pearl?”

No one responded.

She had only brought Green Pearl, a maidservant. She had rejected the maidservant that Aunt and the others wanted to give her, so Green Pearl was relatively busy. It was not unusual for her to not respond.

Bai Xianyu touched the edge of the medicine bowl. It was still warm, so she picked up the soup spoon and took a few sips.

At this moment, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

It was a strange fragrance that she had never smelled before!

Bai Xianyu paused and immediately threw away the spoon. She covered her mouth and nose.

Something was wrong!

This incense was not Xie Xingyun’s, nor was it any kind of incense she had brought!
