This time, Su Meng slept very peacefully until she woke up naturally. No one disturbed her.

She yawned as she walked downstairs. When she was halfway down the stairs, she saw the person who was receiving guests on the first floor. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Shen Jian was cleaning the cabinets while Guo Xiang was reading the books on the counter.

Su Meng frowned as she walked down and asked Shen Jian, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

She had promised to bring Shen Jian back with her first because she saw that he had no place to stay. Before he came, he had already agreed that he would move out as soon as he found a place.

“Boss, Elder Guo has read my fortune. Although my life is too tough, it doesn’t affect you. Not only does it not affect me, but you can also bring me good luck.” Shen Jian looked at Su Meng with admiration.

Su Meng did not believe him. She turned to look at Guo Xiang and asked him with her eyes.

“Something happened at Hong Si’s house, so he won’t be coming back anytime soon. Let him stay here. He can help me out on behalf of Hong Si. He doesn’t have a place to stay anyway, so he can be considered to be looking for a job,” Guo Xiang said with a smile.

Hearing Guo Xiang speak up for him, Shen Jian nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Old man, you just met him. You don’t even know what his character is like. How dare you hire him? Aren’t you afraid of him…”

Before Su Meng could finish, Shen Jian began to retort, “I can’t guarantee anything else. My character is very good! Since Elder Guo can give me a job and let me have a place to live, I will definitely work hard!”

Su Meng looked at him for a while. Thinking that this was the old man’s shop and that her old man’s ability to judge people was much better than hers, she did not say anything more.

“Alright then,” Su Meng agreed perfunctorily.

“Since Master is awake, let’s eat. Have a taste of my cooking.” After Shen Jian said that, he jogged into the kitchen and brought out the dishes that he had just prepared.

“You can cook?” Su Meng picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks. She did not expect that it had all the looks, fragrance, and taste.

“Of course. Back then, in order to earn money, I went to a restaurant to become an apprentice.” Shen Jian raised his head slightly and looked very proud.

“Oh right, old man, what happened to Brother Hong’s family? He was still fine when I left. Why did he suddenly leave? Is he in such a hurry?” Su Meng asked as she ate.

Guo Xiang’s face darkened a little when he heard Su Meng’s question. However, he returned to normal in an instant. Su Meng and Shen Jian did not notice it.

“He did not explain in detail. However, he did not look good when he left.” Guo Xiang covered his emotions with his meal.

Su Meng nodded and sighed. “It’s fine if he doesn’t want to talk about it, but old man, help me tell him. We’re family, so don’t be polite. If there’s anything you need, just tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can.”

She wasn’t being polite, but she said it from the bottom of her heart. When she had just returned, her master had told her that Guo Xiang was the only one left in the family. His wife and disciples had all left. At that time, he didn’t even want to open a shop anymore, until he met Hong Si.

Hong Si said that he was looking for a job. Guo Xiang saw that he was very good at antiques and knew some feng shui, so he asked him to stay. With Hong Si’s help, he wouldn’t be too tired. Later, because the business in the shop wasn’t very good, Hong Si could manage it by himself, so he let him go out to travel and rest.

As for Hong Si, he found a part-time university student to help him during the days when there were more people. Guo Xiang didn’t have to worry about the situation in the shop at all.

Hong Si had taken care of her master quite a lot, so Su Meng felt that she had an obligation to help him as if Hong Si was family.

Shen Jian joined in the fun. “Master, I’m also your family. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Elder Guo!”

Su Meng did not say anything after hearing that, but Guo Xiang smiled faintly.

“Elder Guo, eat more vegetables.” Shen Jian was indeed very perceptive. Seeing that the dish that Guo Xiang had been eating was quite far away from him, he quickly pushed it in front of him.

Shen Jian knew who was in charge of this shop, so he tried his best to please Guo Xiang.

When Su Meng saw this, she showed a look of disdain on the surface, but in fact, she felt slightly comforted in her heart.

It could be seen that Guo Xiang liked Shen Jian very much, although it could not be ruled out that it was because Shen Jian was too good at flattery.

“After dinner, when you have nothing to do, let Girl Meng take you to buy some daily necessities. I don’t think you have anything.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m used to being casual. I’ll buy it when I earn money in the future,” Shen Jian quickly rejected. At this moment, his sleeves were empty and he did not have any money at all.

He had no choice. Because of his fate, he was not only born to be a bane to others, but he was also a bane to himself. Unlucky things happened one after another.
