Hua Xu remained silent, not entangled in the question of whether Qin Xiaoya was a martial arts master. Once Qin Xiaoya arrived, he would know the answer; there was no point in discussing it further now.
"Rather than whether Qin Xiaoya is a martial arts expert, I'm more curious about what kind of poison she used to disfigure Young Master Ling. Can you take off the hood and let me see?" Hua Xu said with a smile.
"Xiangzhou, take off the hood," Gu Yu instructed his son.
Though Gu Xiangzhou was reluctant, he had no choice but to remove the hood, revealing his flushed head. Hua Xu leaned in, touched Gu Xiangzhou's cheek, and then leaned closer to sniff.
"This... this is truly the juice of Wine seeping into the skin, and it still smells like Wine," Hua Xu remarked, astonished by such a peculiar method.
"Brother Hua, do you think it can be saved?" Gu Yu asked.
"I can't do anything myself. Let's wait for Qin Xiaoya to bring out the Antidote. I believe she will give me face," Hua Xu replied confidently.
"Of course, Brother Hua, your reputation in the capital is such that no one would dare to disregard it," Gu Yu quickly flattered.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Xiaoya and Jiang Chen arrived.
"President Qin, you are truly punctual; you said two-thirty and arrived right on time." Seeing Qin Xiaoya enter, Gu Yu immediately stood up to greet her.
Hua Xu remained seated, quietly savoring his tea.
"Manager Gu, why did you invite Uncle Hua? Our private matters shouldn't trouble him," Qin Xiaoya said with a faint smile upon seeing Hua Xu sitting in the grand chair.
"I invited Brother Hua as a witness. After all, Brother Hua is a prominent figure in martial arts here in the capital. It's best to have him witness this matter related to martial arts. You wouldn't mind, would you, President Qin?" Gu Yu smiled.
"Of course not. Uncle Hua is a senior in martial arts; having him as a witness is perfect. I trust Uncle Hua will handle this fairly," Qin Xiaoya replied with a slight smile.
"Uncle Hua!" Qin Xiaoya walked over and greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, President Qin! The first time I met you, you were still in swaddling clothes. I even attended your full moon banquet. Who would have thought that nearly thirty years have passed? Now you’ve become the president of Qin Family Group Company—truly impressive!" Hua Xu said without standing up, turning slightly with a cheerful demeanor.
"Uncle Hua, please just call me Qin Xiaoya. I can't accept being called President Qin," she said with a slight bow, lowering her stance out of respect for her elder. There was no need for any hostility yet; respect was necessary at this stage.
"In that case, I'll take the liberty of calling you Qin Xiaoya," Hua Xu laughed heartily.
The atmosphere between them appeared quite harmonious. As for Jiang Chen, no one really paid attention to him; they regarded him merely as Qin Xiaoya's bodyguard.
"President Qin, please sit down and have some tea," Gu Yu personally pulled out a chair for Qin Xiaoya.
However, she did not sit down but instead glanced at Jiang Chen. The latter calmly took a seat himself without any pretense.
"President Qin, may I ask who this is?" Gu Yu's expression stiffened. He had politely pulled out a chair, but it was not meant for a stranger. However, Jiang Chen boldly sat down at Qin Xiaoya's gesture, leaving Gu Yu with no choice but to hold back his irritation.
"I forgot to introduce him. This is My Young Master. He can sit while I stand," Qin Xiaoya said with a smile.
At that moment, with only a few people present, there was no need to be overly modest. For Qin Xiaoya, being Jiang Chen's maid was a matter of great honor, and she was eager to announce it to the world.
