The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 577: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (16)

"Sister! They..." Su Yanqing said with some confusion.

"Brother, don't say that for now." Su Xiangran interrupted him decisively, then quickly took off her coat and threw it into the secret compartment of the closet in the room.

Then, she took out another coat from the closet that was similar in style and color to the previous one and put it on, but this one was obviously longer, just reaching Su Xiangran's ankles.

In this way, if you don't look carefully, it is almost difficult to notice that Su Xiangran is actually wearing pants, not a skirt or cheongsam.

Then she picked up a relatively small suit jacket and handed it to Su Yanqing.

"Fortunately, your body proportions are relatively balanced. The suits I usually wear are larger in size and I have to use a frame to support the shape." Su Xiangran explained with a smile, "But it should fit you well."

Su Yanqing knew that his sister always had her reasons for doing things, so he silently took the clothes she handed over and changed them, and at the same time put his coat into the secret compartment.

After the two of them had packed up, Su Xiangran gently pulled a bell-like device at hand, and soon a waiter came in.

"Hello, sir, ma'am, how can I help you?" the waiter asked politely.

"We are planning to have some afternoon tea here. I wonder if you have any recommendations?" Su Xiangran asked with a smile.

The waiter nodded and said, "Our afternoon tea is a combination of cake and coffee. However, if you like sweets, don't order black coffee, as it's a bit bitter."

"It's okay, we just like it..." Su Yanqing had been abroad for many years, so he was well-accepted with black coffee, so when he wanted to drink it, he was interrupted by Su Xiangran.

"Then you can choose the one you like! We have plenty of time anyway, so just make sure the items are carefully crafted." Su Xiangran said directly.

The waiter replied "yes" and left the room.

"Brother, black coffee means stake." Su Xiangran explained, "During the time we were away, they should have come to the restaurant to inquire about the situation. The waiter just came to tip them off and also to find out if they still needed their cover."

"Is that so?" Su Yanqing touched his head a little embarrassedly, "But sister, how do you know this place?"

Su Xiangran talked about the reason with her brother Su Yanqing.

It turned out that one time a big shot wanted to perform an operation secretly. At that time, he found out that Su Xiangran had the best skills in this operation, so in order to cover up his tracks, he used this restaurant as a "transit station".

After the operation, Su Xiangran felt that the "service" provided here was very good, so she did not take any remuneration, but asked for a "membership card" here in case of emergency.

Su Xiangran said with some emotion: "I never thought that there would be a day when I could use it!"

Su Yanqing felt a little embarrassed by what his sister said. He didn't expect that he could be considered a "lurker" after all, but his vigilance and means were far inferior to those of his sister Su Xiangran.

Seeing her brother Su Yanqing lowering his head unconsciously, Su Xiangran knew what he was thinking. This brother couldn't be said to be stupid, but he was really not cut out for this job.

He may be good at research, but it’s really hard to describe him in other aspects.

Thinking of this, Su Xiangran suddenly remembered some information she had read in her previous life. With an idea in her mind, she picked up the paper and pen on the table and planned to write down some of her memories.

I had just written one letter when I was interrupted.

"Excuse me, sir, miss." The waiter who knocked on the door was the same one who had just come. "There are a few gentlemen in the hall who want to see you. Is it convenient for you now?"

Su Xiangran curled her lips slightly, stood up, took Su Yanqing's arm who was also standing, and said calmly: "Okay! Then let's go down and take a look, but don't move the things in the private room. Afternoon tea will be delivered as usual."

After saying these words, the two of them went downstairs together.

In the restaurant lobby, several people who had just been squatting outside were talking to the manager.

Normally, they don't have very good tempers, but because they know that this store has a strong background and the store manager is a foreigner, they rarely negotiate with the other party in a friendly tone and just want to take a look at the private room upstairs.

"Sir, is there something that makes you so anxious to see us?" Su Yanqing's voice was clear, but it lacked the gentleness of the past. Instead, it carried a rare impatience.

Several people who were discussing with the store manager couldn't help but stare in amazement when they saw the Su siblings suddenly appear in the hall.

Because they were waiting for the brother and sister across the street, they had not left the restaurant, and the manager had acted very secretive the previous times they came to ask, so these people had almost concluded that Su Xiangran and Su Yanqing had secretly left the restaurant.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Su Xiangran immediately asked, "Yes! Is there anything you want to see us for?"
