Shi Ying stared in shock, unable to regain her composure for a long time. The man next to her, accidentally pinched by her, was nearly crying out in pain.
"It's Bei Jiang! How can it be? How can it be?" She stared incredulously, wishing she could pierce through the person before her. She must have seen it wrong! Her father never mentioned that Huo Beijiang had this identity.
He was merely a destitute boy from Qi Li Town, the son of a schoolteacher.
Huo Beijiang swept his cold gaze over them, seemingly not taking any notice of Shi Ying.
The restaurant owner greeted him in person.
"Third master, please come inside."
At this moment, Huo Kewei also arrived from the other side, with reddened eyes, looking haggard.
"Uncle!"
The man addressed as 'uncle' by Huo Kewei was Huo Beijiang. And Huo Beijiang now was nothing like Huo Beijiang half a year ago. The arrogance was gone, replaced by a sullen and cold maturity.
He seemed like a completely different person.
