Loved By An Older Man Novel - Chapter 1265
1265 Old Lady
Fortunately, Jiang Yu’s makeup skills were quite good. After the entire makeup, she was indeed very different from her original appearance.
After putting on her makeup, Jiang Yu also changed into an old-fashioned dress and went downstairs.
There were more people on the street, and most of them were buying flowers.
Jiang Yu pretended to be buying flowers and walked into a small flower shop. The owner was an old woman with white hair, but she looked very energetic. When she saw Jiang Yu coming in, she immediately went over to greet her warmly. “Oh my, what a pretty girl. Are you here to buy flowers?”
!!
Jiang Yu deliberately lowered her voice and said, “yes, old lady. My husband and I came here for a holiday and rented a hotel. We want to buy some flowers to decorate it.”
“Then you’ve come to the right place.” The old lady smiled and enthusiastically introduced the variety of flowers in the shop to Jiang Yu.
As Jiang Yu looked at it, she pretended to ask casually, “Granny, my friends all say that there’s a family in Qingcheng, but they’ve declined in recent years. What family is it?”
“Aiyo, you can’t be talking about …” The old lady lowered her voice and whispered into Jiang Yu’s ear, “The Chi family, right?”
Jiang Yu did not admit it and only said, “I don’t know. I also heard about it from my friend, but I’m not very sure about the specific family.”
“Sigh, that’s the Chi family.” The old lady seemed to feel sorry for the Chi family’s decline and said, “The Chi family was still a big family a few years ago. When I was young, the Chi family had countless glories! Who knows what happened in the past few years? it suddenly declined.”
“Is there no reason?” Jiang Yu asked casually, “I heard that it’s a very big family. It’s quite a pity that they suddenly declined.”
“How can I not feel sorry? Rich and powerful families have fallen just like that.” The old lady said.
The words she said were indeed a sign of pity for the Chi family, but her tone was not like that. Instead, it was an attitude of “it’s none of my business “.
“But this has nothing to do with us,” the old lady continued. “We are just ordinary people. We just need to live our lives well.”
“That’s true,” Jiang Yu smiled and said to the old lady, “old lady, I don’t like any of the flowers here. I’ll come back and take a look when you have new flowers.”
With that, Jiang Yu turned around and was about to leave.
“Don’t go, I have more than these flowers in my shop!” The old lady grabbed Jiang Yu’s hand and took her to the back room.
She was a little strong, and her palm was not like an ordinary old man’s. There was a thick layer of calluses on her fingertips, and Jiang Yu’s palm was in pain.
Jiang Yu frowned. She felt that the old lady in front of her was not an ordinary person.
Would there be so many calluses on the fingertips of an ordinary old flower seller?
So she pretended to have twisted her ankle and sat down on the ground. She said in pain, “Aiya, old lady! I twisted my foot.”
“How could you be so careless?” The old lady rebuked as she squatted down to massage Jiang Yu’s feet. “How is it? Does it still hurt?”
“Much better,” Jiang Yu observed the old lady’s technique and said, “Granny, your technique is not bad. Did you practice it before?”
The old lady laughed and said, “what’s there to practice? Even my old man will twist his leg. I’m helping him massage his feet. When we were young, we were all intellectuals and did scientific research. We didn’t know how to do this.”
Scientific research? How could there be calluses on the hands of scientific researchers?
Jiang Yu was now convinced that the old lady in front of her was not an ordinary person, but since that was the case, why did she still go along with her words and continue the conversation with her?
The old lady did not seem to know what Jiang Yu was thinking and continued to massage her feet.
“Granny, my foot is much better now.” Jiang Yu said, “I’m a little thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water?”
“Then you wait.” The old lady stood up and went to the back room.
Jiang Yu took the opportunity to quickly leave the flower shop.
She quickly returned to the hotel, changed out of her clothes, and washed off the makeup on her face.
She didn’t expect to meet such a suspicious person as soon as she arrived in Qingcheng.
“Who is this old lady?” Jiang Yu looked at herself in the mirror. The makeup on her face had been washed off, revealing her original beautiful face.
It seemed that he had to be more careful in Qingcheng. She couldn’t wear that dress anymore, nor could she throw it away. She could only destroy it.
Therefore, Jiang Yu took out a lighter from the drawer of the hotel and set the dress on fire in the bathroom.
Jiang Yu decided to stay in the room for a while and wait until tomorrow or some other time to go out and find out. As for the archive management office in Qingcheng, she also needed to find out where it was.
