Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 789 - 787: Putting the Cart Before the Horse

Duan Yunfei rubbed his forehead and looked at Yin Bai, saying, "Teacher, why don’t we step aside and have a word?"

"Step aside and have a word?" The two over there stopped arguing again. Chu Wuqu frowned and said, "Brat, are you hiding something from your master?"

Duan Yunfei: ...

What would he be hiding from him? He just felt it was too noisy here and wanted to talk elsewhere.

Yin Bai smiled and said, "No worries, I think it’s quite nice here."

"Ahem—"

As if recalling something, Chu Wuqu gave a light cough and said, "Look at this, it’s all because of this old man that I almost forgot. Mr. Yin is a scholar, different from rough folks like us. Didn’t mean to bother you with the noise."

Yin Bai smiled, picked up the wine jar, and refilled a cup for each of them, saying, "The two of you came with fine wine early in the morning to find this old man. I’m delighted, hardly bothered by noise."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the beef jerky on the table, then looked up at Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei nodded and whispered with a smile, "It was you who asked Shopkeeper Tang to bring them over."

"Hmm?" Chu Wuqu raised an eyebrow, "This beef jerky, was it made by you, girl?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes."

"I was wondering why it tasted so good; turns out it was made by you, girl, hahaha..."

For some reason, Shen Qinglan always felt that Chu Wuqu’s laughter sounded a bit guilty.

And what the elder said next finally confirmed her suspicion.

Only to hear the elder mockingly say, "You weren’t saying that earlier. As soon as you heard that this beef jerky was sent by me, you said it carried the same unpleasant smell as me."

"Did I?" Chu Wuqu feigned ignorance, "I never said such a thing, old man, don’t slander me."

"You know full well whether you did or not," the elder said disdainfully. "Besides, Mr. Yin Bai is right here; he heard everything clearly. Who do you think you’re fooling now?"

Yin Bai didn’t want to get involved, merely smiling without speaking.

Shen Qinglan slightly raised her gaze, looking at Chu Wuqu with a half-smile.

"Uh... girl!" Chu Wuqu coughed guiltily and said, "I just misspoke earlier, thinking that it was the old man who brought them from somewhere, not intentionally targeting you."

"Yes," the elder snorted coldly, "You weren’t targeting the Young Madam intentionally; you were targeting me intentionally."

"You got that right." Chu Wuqu said confidently, "I did target you intentionally, so what? Who told you to say my wine tastes bad?"

"Putting the cart before the horse," the elder sneered. "It was clearly you who first disliked the beef jerky I brought. I only poured your wine afterward, and now you dare to lie with your eyes wide open."

Feeling guilty, Chu Wuqu didn’t want to continue arguing with the elder, so he had to put on a smiling face for Shen Qinglan and said, "Girl, I was just speaking without thinking. The beef jerky does taste good. I thought it was that old man’s, so I said the opposite. Don’t mind me!"

Shen Qinglan sighed softly. These two arguing every time they meet is a habit they probably won’t change in this lifetime.

She smiled and said, "If Elder Chu finds it tasty, feel free to have more slices."

"Eh?" Chu Wuqu’s face fell, "Weren’t we agreed you’d call me Master?"

"Fine!" Shen Qinglan said helplessly, "Master."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wuqu beamed with joy, "Ah! Now that’s more like it!"

Duan Yunfei rubbed his forehead and gave Shen Qinglan a helpless look.

Yin Bai’s smile remained unchanged, while the elder merely gave a cold snort.
