Chapter 169: Where’s Xiao Gu?

Uncle Hai signaled for the attendant to bring a chair over.
He was about to introduce Qin Ran to Jiang Hui when he heard his exchange with Cheng Mu.
The surname Cheng wasn’t uncommon in the capital, but…
Not many would have Jiang Hui address them as “Young Master Cheng”.
Uncle Hai didn’t have to think much to figure out Cheng Juan’s identity.
He looked at Cheng Juan for a while, then glanced at Lu Zhaoying beside him. He was slightly confused.
He looked toward Lu Zhaoying and the bunch of people, slightly stunned.
Uncle Hai remembered that the three of them had greeted him very politely when they entered…
Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Juan exchanged glances.
Cheng Juan looked at Qin Ran for a bit. She was calmer than everyone else as she remained seated on the couch, apparently chatting with someone on her cell phone.
Wei Zihang had been sitting calmly the whole time and he only got up to greet the guests when they came.
Qiao Sheng and Lin Siran, on the other hand, remained seated the whole time, a little lost.
It wasn’t so bad for Lin Siran. She didn’t know Master Juan nor Lu Zhaoying, and she had only seen Feng Loucheng’s face in the papers. As an ordinary citizen, she didn’t take much notice of these things.
But Qiao Sheng was different. He knew Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying because of Xu Yaoguang, and he also knew Feng Loucheng personally.
He had thought that he was just here for a simple meal, but why did Sister Ran invite these people?
“Uncle Jiang, please sit.” Lu Zhaoying finally snapped back to his senses and gestured towards the chair that the attendant brought. He then asked the question he was dying to know the answer to. “Who were you invited by?”
Upon hearing Lu Zhaoying’s question, Cheng Mu kept his eyes on Jiang Hui.
Cheng Mu and the rest thought that Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet was just a simple gathering. After all, Lu Zhaoying had mentioned many times that Qin Ran and her friends weren’t well-to-do at all.
Who would have expected that things were so strange around here?
He could understand why Qian Dui was around, but Feng Loucheng’s arrival made no sense to Cheng Mu.
It was just an apprenticeship banquet, what was the ever-busy Mayor Feng Loucheng doing here? And it wasn’t just that. What about Jiang Hui?!
Jiang Hui sat in his chair and reached for a cup of tea on the table. He looked at the group of people on the couch, cleared his throat, and was about to say that it was Master Wei who invited him.
That was when Mu Nan, Chen Shulan, and Master Wei arrived.
Uncle Hai immediately stepped forward and helped Chen Shulan in too.
“Master Wei.” Jiang Hui immediately got up, approached him politely, and greeted him.
He then turned around and said to the rest of them who had now stood up as well, “Master Wei is taking in a disciple today. I’m here to see who’s that gifted person.”
With that, he noticed that Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu were a little stumped.
Only Cheng Juan reacted to the situation and took a few steps forward.
