Chapter 94: 94 Chapter Crazy Woman’s Acting_1

Xian Qianling was about to speak when you hurriedly cut in, "Oh, I’m a friend of Police Officer Xie, just finished dealing with a case, and since I hadn’t eaten dinner, I was dragged here to mooch a meal."

Your articulation was clear, each word distinctly reaching everyone’s ears, but the expressions they wore as they looked at you were quite peculiar.

Especially the elderly man with silver hair, who had been staring at you, or rather sizing you up, from the moment you entered the room.

"Nonsense." Xian Qianling’s father was an agingly handsome man, dressed quite plainly, with a well-maintained physique and hair peppered black and white, commanding an imposing presence without showing anger.

"Since you’re here, sit down." Xian Qianling’s mother looked to be an intellectual, the only one among the group who watched you with a gentle demeanor and a faint smile on her face.

"Ah, sure thing."

You didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down at once.

Of course, this was no time for politeness; intent on distancing yourself from Xian Qianling, you took a seat on another row, directly opposite the silver-haired old man.

The dishes had already been served on the table. You picked up your bowl and chopsticks and immediately started wolfing down the food.

"This..."

The general’s wife and the general exchanged glances, clearly not expecting your sudden intrusion.

Xian Qianling’s father cleared his throat with a light cough, "Cough! Comrade, may I ask which unit you’re affiliated with?"

You stuffed a large, succulent piece of Dongpo pork into your mouth, devoured it in no time at all, and after wiping your mouth, you responded with a smile to Xian Qianling’s father, "To answer uncle, I haven’t graduated yet; I’m currently a freshman at Jiangzhe University."

"A student?" Hearing that you were just a student, the general’s wife’s face fell immediately, and she said in a displeased tone, "What’s a student doing here?"

"Scrounging a meal, as I said before."

As you spoke, you reached out, snapped a pristine European lobster in half, took a big chunk, and put it into your bowl, eating it heartily.

Xian Qianling didn’t sit in the designated spot but instead sat down next to you.

Hm?

You hadn’t expected Xian Qianling to go so far as to sit next to you in her bid to resist the arranged marriage.

"I..."

"I’m full, I’ll be going now, you all chat slowly."

"Wait."

You had just stood up when the observant silver-haired old man finally spoke up.

Xian Qianling once again pulled you back to your seat, glaring at you with a fierce and threatening look.

"Young man, what’s your surname?" the silver-haired old man, the most influential person in the room, asked, and everyone’s thoughts followed suit as he spoke.

"To answer you, grandpa, my last name is Li."

The silver-haired elder seemed pleased with your address of "grandpa," and he asked with a smile, "Where’s your family from?"

You scratched the back of your head, suddenly perplexed, not understanding the intentions of the silver-haired old man.

Xian Qianling gave you a nudge with her elbow, "My grandpa is asking you."

"Uh, I live in Yuhang."

"Are all the elders in your family well?"

Hearing this, for some reason, a rebellious feeling suddenly surged in your heart and you shook your head with a sigh, "As for me, I’ve been without a dad since I was little, raised solely by my mom. Compared to you all, I come from a more humble background; I was raised on every penny my mom earned from telling fortunes and casting divinations at Chenghuang Temple for others."

With you saying this, everyone in the room fell silent.

Xian Qianling looked at you, her eyes brimming with an unreadable light.

The silver-haired elder was silent for a moment before asking, "Your ancestral home should be Jinzhou in the Fujian region, right?"

You were taken aback and looked up at the silver-haired elder, asking, "How did you know?"

As soon as you said this, the composure on the face of the silver-haired elder slowly changed, and tears even welled up in his eyes: "Child, you have been so hard to find!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished, all waiting for what the silver-haired elder would say next.

It seemed as though tonight’s gathering had smoothly transitioned from matchmaking to searching for relatives.

Before you could speak, the silver-haired elder asked again, "Was your grandfather originally a soldier at Eastern Sea? Did he later join the main force on an expedition to Goryeo? And did he also take part in the Shangganling?"

You scratched your head: "I’m not sure about that, I don’t even know what my dad looked like, let alone my grandfather."

"This... Is that curse real?"

With this question from the silver-haired elder, you knew that he truly knew your grandfather, and that their relationship must have been very close; otherwise, your grandfather wouldn’t have told him such private matters.

Seeing you nod, the silver-haired elder sighed deeply: "I couldn’t have imagined, truly couldn’t have imagined."

Police Officer Xie’s quite imposing father turned to look at the silver-haired elder and asked, "Dad, the elder you mentioned is..."

"He is the old platoon leader I often talk to you about, who saved mine and your Uncle Hu’s lives several times!"

However, to you, all these were nothing more than old stories, regardless of how deep the connection was between your grandfather and this elder, it didn’t have much to do with you. You certainly wouldn’t stoop so low as to climb up on their coattails and beg for their pity.

The matters of elders, you view them lightly; after all, what is gone is gone, and there’s no need to dwell on it too much.

The silver-haired elder looked at you with a smile, but you always felt there was something odd about the way he looked at you.

"Well, if there’s nothing else, I should be heading back now, thank you all for your hospitality tonight."

You tried to stand up, but this crazy woman Xian Qianling clung to your clothes stubbornly!

And she was looking at you with a resentful and slightly angry gaze.

Damn it!

This crazy woman’s acting skills were just too damn refined!

All of this was witnessed by everyone present, especially the lieutenant colonel; the truth was already in front of him, his eyes flashed with despair, but ultimately, as someone who came from a military family and was a tough guy, he quickly adjusted himself, stood up abruptly, and saluted the silver-haired elder with an impeccably standard military salute: "Sir, I’ve just been posted to Yuhang, there are many places I need to get familiar with. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."

The silver-haired elder glanced at Xian Qianling and saw that her gaze was fixed on you, not paying any attention to the lieutenant colonel; he couldn’t help but nod slightly, smiling as he said, "Go ahead, I will be in Yuhang for the next while; come to see me when you have the time."

"Understood, goodbye, sir!"

The lieutenant colonel straightened his spine and walked up to Xian Qianling and you, then suddenly patted your shoulder heavily, saying with a fierce tone, "Little Ling, I’ve watched you grow up, and I’ve been protecting you since you were a child. Now, this responsibility is yours to take. If you ever bully her in the future..."

"Brother, a man can eat his rice indiscriminately, but his words must never be careless. I have absolutely nothing with this crazy woman... Ow—"

This crazy woman pinched hard on your thigh, nearly twisting off a chunk of flesh!
