Chapter 699: The Eyes That Even Ghosts Won't Forget

Lin Shi felt much more relaxed after considering the possibility that Shu Yu might have deceived those people. She reached out and tousled her son's hair, smiling when she saw his satisfied expression with the candy in his mouth.

The Xu family of three left after passing through the long line, unaware that Shu Feng, who was in the middle of the queue, suddenly raised his head and frowned as he watched their figures.

He had just heard the words "Miss Lu" and "deceive."

When it came to Miss Lu, they only knew one Shu Yu.

Could the "Miss Lu" they mentioned be Shu Yu? Could she have deceived those people?

Unfortunately, their voices were too soft, and he didn't hear anything else they said.

Nevertheless, Shu Feng tugged at the sleeve of the lady beside him and whispered, "Mother, do you know who those three people are? Do they have any connection to Shu Yu?"

The lady was shivering from the cold, her attention not fully focused.

However, when she heard the three words "Shu Yu," she suddenly shuddered and snapped back to attention.

Not only her, but the other members of the Shu family also turned their attention to the Xu family upon hearing those words.

Madam Shu, with sharp eyes, quickly recognized them. "I know. When that little wretch first arrived, she was assigned to work in the same group as that family. However, she only worked with them for a few days before switching to hunting."

Shu Feng squinted his eyes. So, the "Miss Lu" they were talking about was indeed Shu Yu.

However, he didn't quite understand what they meant by "deceive." If they had grievances with Shu Yu, perhaps there was still a chance for both sides to cooperate.

With that in mind, Shu Feng carefully remembered the appearance of the Xu family.

The line gradually moved forward. The Shu family, who had no inclination to talk earlier, immediately associated the mention of Shu Yu with Hou Shi.

"I looked through the crowd, but I didn't see Hou shi or the Sixth Miss," Fourth Miss glanced at Second Master and pouted.

Second Master snorted. "No need to rush. She'll be going to work today, and we'll meet sooner or later."

"I wonder what kind of carefree days they've been enjoying these past two days, reluctant to come back," Fourth Miss mused.

"Those people in the Lu family eat well, not to mention other things. But will they come back to suffer with us?" Fourth Miss added sarcastically.

Second Master grew annoyed. "Enough! Why are you speaking bitterly now? Don't forget our agreement from last night. When they return, we need to win them over first before discussing anything else."

Their voices were extremely low, but with so many people in the queue, a few individuals still overheard their conversation.

Feeling the gaze from nearby, Shu Feng furrowed his brow and whispered, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. Line up and collect the tools. We can discuss later if there's anything to talk about."

The Shu family fell silent immediately, but as they stopped speaking, the previously overlooked coldness began to seep in again, causing them to shiver.

No, when Hou Shi and the others return, they must find a way to ask the Lu family for warmer clothes. The weather in the morning and evening was too cold.

The crowd of people registering moved quite quickly, and Wang Changdong was very satisfied with the efficiency.

He had said it before, Shu Yu was a capable person, and now it was evident

how efficient she was. Just look at her, the speed was so high.

Shu Yu couldn't go on like this. Before leaving home, she had eaten a piece of pastry, and now she was hungry and wanted to finish her work quickly so she could eat.

Just as she was thinking that, the next person approached the table, and a familiar voice rang out once again.

"Shu Feng."

Shu Yu's pen paused, and she slowly lifted her head.

Shu Feng was also puzzled. Why had the person registering changed, only for his gaze to meet those unforgettable eyes?
