Li Xiaoran and Hu Xi were also stunned by this sudden scene.
Fortunately, the attendant who had been welcoming customers at the door saw this and rushed forward bravely to stop Shu Ruyue.
Shu Ruyue didn’t force her way over. She just raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you sure you want to stop me? I have a knife on me.”
With that, Shu Ruyue took out her dagger.
Seeing this, the attendant’s expression changed, but he didn’t dodge.
At this moment, the owner and two other attendants rushed over and stopped Shu Ruyue.
Hu Xi’s face was filled with anger as he walked over and said to Shu Ruyue coldly, “You’d better leave the box behind. Otherwise, I’ll send you to the officials!”
Shu Ruyue raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to say something, Li Xiaoran walked over.
“Ruyue, stop fooling around! Put away the dagger and return the box to the shopkeeper Mr. Hu!”
Since Li Xiaoran had spoken, Shu Ruyue naturally put away the dagger and returned the wooden box to the shopkeeper Mr. Hu.
At this moment, some people had already surrounded the shop.
“Alright, it’s all a misunderstanding. Let’s go in and talk!” Li Xiaoran said.
“That won’t do. What kind of misunderstanding is this? The three of you are in cahoots. Let’s send them to the officials first!” The clerk who had stopped them at the door said angrily.
Shu Ruyue laughed when she heard this.
“Hey, watch your mouth! Aren’t you afraid of offending me? I’ll find trouble with you after I leave the government office!”
“Ruyue!” Li Xiaoran shouted again when she saw that Shu Ruyue was still causing trouble.
When Wu Qinghe saw that there were already many people gathered outside, he quickly went out and said, “Everyone, stop looking. It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. Hurry up and do your own things!”
With that, Wu Qinghe chased them away.
Hu Xi looked at them. There was no panic on their faces, so he put away the box and locked it in the cabinet inside.
“Who are you people? Why did you come to our shop today?” After Hu Xi called them in, he stared at Li Xiaoran and the others as he asked.
Shu Ruyue said with a smile, “Xiaoran, I have to say, the shopkeeper and attendants were chosen quite well!”
Li Xiaoran glanced at Shu Ruyue with anger and amus.e.m.e.nt.
“I came to take a look at the shop’s business incognito, but who knew you would cause such a scene?! Can you not be so reckless next time?! This owner is smart, but if you encountered a hothead who sent you to the government office, what would you do?!”
When the owner heard this, he looked surprised.
Li Xiaoran quickly explained, “Mr. Hu, I’m really sorry for scaring you! I’m your boss’s eldest daughter, Li Xiaoran!”
Hu Xi didn’t know that Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were Luo Cheng’s parents-in-law, so he only thought that the two bosses were ordinary people.
However, Hu Xi knew that his boss had two daughters. The eldest daughter was called Li Xiaoran, and the youngest daughter was called Li Xiaoqing.
However, Li Xiaoran didn’t look like his boss’ eldest daughter at all!
“Li Xiaoran, you’ve disguised yourself, so Mr. Hu doesn’t recognize you!”
With that, Luo Cheng looked at Hu Xi and took out a token.
“Mr. Hu, you remember this token, right?!”
The shopkeeper Mr. Hu immediately understood. “So you guys are really from the boss’ family!” At that moment, a voice came from the door.
“Hu Xi, what family? Are your relatives here?”
When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s voice, she was amused.
What a coincidence!
As soon as Li Shun walked in, he saw his daughter and son-in-law standing inside.
However, after the two of them were disguised, they looked much older. “Xiaoran, Luo Cheng? What are you guys dressed like this?!”
When Li Xiaoran saw that her father recognized her at a glance, she immediately walked over with a smile.
Li Xiaoran pulled Li Shun’s sleeve and asked, “Father, I’m disguised! How did you recognize me?!”
“You’re my daughter, so of course I’ll recognize you! Tell me, why are you fooling around?! Also, you’re Luo Cheng, and you’re Ruyue, right? Wu Qinghe, why did you become like this as well?! What’s going on?”
Shu Ruyue smiled when she saw that Li Shun had recognized her too.
“Mr. Li, you saw through us at a glance! Xiaoran said that she wanted to visit the shop incognito. The first shop she came to was your shop! On impulse, I s.n.a.t.c.hed the silver jewelry and ran away to test their reaction!” Li Shun immediately understood when he heard Shu Ruyue’s words.
“You guys are simply causing trouble!”
With that, Li Shun walked over and patted Hu Xi’s shoulder.
“Hu Xi, this is my eldest daughter, Li Xiaoran, and my son-in-law, Luo Cheng. They’re just toying with you guys! Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and go out to help move the things! I’ve been quite inspired recently and made some furniture. I’ll send them over and sell them in the shop!”
After Hu Xi confirmed the ident.i.ties of this group of people, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“Greetings, Boss! Please take a seat first. We’ll move the furniture in! Coincidentally, many customers have been coming to buy furniture these few days!”
“Alright, go ahead!” Li Shun said with a smile.
When they arrived outside the shop, Hu Xi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
It seemed that his boss’ eldest daughter wasn’t an easy person to fool. She actually thought of such a way to see how the shop was doing.
Fortunately, he had never had any ill intentions, so he probably pa.s.sed the boss’ test.
To be honest, Hu Xi was very satisfied with his current job, so he didn’t want to lose his job.
The other three attendants also came back to their senses.
“You’re really the boss’ family members?”
“That’s right. They disguised themselves and came to see how we handle things! Hurry up and get to work. Don’t let them become dissatisfied and fire you!”
“Yes, yes, we’ll get to work now!” The three attendants came back to their senses and agreed in unison.
After Li Shun watched Hu Xi go out, he glanced at his daughter.
“Why did you guys do this to yourself? I don’t know what you’re thinking! Hurry up and wash those things off your face.”
“No, we still have a few shops to go to! Father, don’t interfere!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and refused..
