Chapter 369 Lurking, Stroking

Jackson was usually silent, and would make surprising remarks out of the blue. This time he suddenly proposed to go to the cafe. We were silent for a moment, and then raised our hands in agreement.

Along the way, I would smile evilly at Jackson from time to time, making him blush all over.

Barbara didn't know when she suddenly appeared from beside me, grabbed my ears fiercely, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, why are you always looking at Jackson? Is there some adultery between the two of you!"

I looked innocent: "Auntie, what you said is so unfair to me. My sexual orientation is normal and I have no sexual interest in men."

Barbara glared at me fiercely again. At this time, Cagalli said leisurely: "Well, I still believe Xiaoyi on this point. He had already reacted when he saw us in the morning."

As she said that, she slowly put her hands on my waist, raised her fingers, and said softly: "But I'm just curious, why do you always go to see Jackson? Come on, explain to me."

She usually rarely speaks in a coquettish tone, but this time she suddenly had a more charming tone, which made me shudder.

Without waiting for my answer, Phoenix also came up and looked at me with his little face raised, with the expression on his face that he was listening to the story.

"Haha, haha" I smiled bitterly over and over again, thinking to myself: "Jackson, it's not that my brother is unjust, it's really the three fiancées who are forcing me so hard."

Then, the three Phoenix girls and I moved to the back of the team, whispering to them the reason for this, while also being wary of others coming over to eavesdrop.

Approaching the cafe, I finished explaining everything. The three women had strange expressions. They wanted to laugh but were willing to laugh out loud. They all covered their mouths and made slight popping sounds. I spread my hands helplessly and said: "You must keep it a secret and don't talk nonsense."

The three women all nodded their heads pretending to be serious, but soon burst into low laughter again.

There were not many customers in the cafe in the morning, so we rushed in. The proprietress walked straight up to me, looked at Barbara up and down, then turned to me and said, "What's going on today? What's going on?" Come together as a team, I am not a monster in the dungeon, you will make money if you brush it. Not only will I not make money, but I will also collect money, a lot of money."

As she spoke, she smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, are you sure you didn't bring anyone to the wrong place?"

"It's so early in the morning, please stop joking with me." I glanced at the purse I carried with me and said, "Bring up as many good things as you can, I'm treating you today."

"So generous!" She smiled heartily and said, "You might as well treat us to breakfast as well."

I nodded and smiled: "No problem."

In fact, there was something in what the landlady said. She asked me to buy breakfast, which had two meanings. First, she really asked me to buy her and her staff a meal, and second, she had something to say to me.

After a brief cheer, the store clerks began to get busy, and I went to the employee lounge with the proprietress.

After closing the door, I asked the boss lady: "Boss lady, do you have a problem with me?"

She nodded and said, "How is your guild lately? Have you encountered any trouble?"

I shook my head: "No, I have been renovating recently and haven't encountered any trouble."

"That's good."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, I quickly asked: "Is there any trouble recently?"

The landlady sighed: "Well, recently, customers in the store have often complained that their guilds have been interfered with and targeted by some people. There are also several medium-sized guild leaders who vomited while drunk and felt that someone was behind the wheel. , trying to deviate his guild from his control."

"Is this the rhythm of usurping power and changing positions?" I made a joke.

The landlady shook her head: "It's not that simple. It's not easy for a guild to usurp power, and it's not popular with everyone. Many medium-sized guilds that are developing well are declared bankrupt and disbanded soon after they were usurped."

"Bankruptcy and dissolution?" I was shocked: "Is it so serious?"

"The presidents of many guilds originally had extensive connections. However, after the change of positions, those previous connections would give up negotiating with the guild because the other party was a usurper. If this continues, the communication and exchanges between guilds will be affected. The business will gradually go into ruin."

"There are so many things to pay attention to. By the way..." I moved my eyelids: "Mrs. Boss, how do you know so clearly?"

The landlady snorted and said proudly, "I've been running a cafe in Airui City for so many years, and it's not in vain!"

I nodded and bowed obsequiously: "You're right, hey, I still have to rely on your information."

Seeing that the boss lady had a good expression on her face, I continued: "Well, boss lady, if you have any other information, please tell me."

She thought for a while and said: "There is other information, but most of it is gossip and has no actual value."

"So that's it." I sighed, slightly disappointed.

The boss lady patted me on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, if I have any information, I will inform Barbara to tell you. She is my most precious niece. I don't want to see her become sad because of losing you." , and, I have to warn you, treat her well, and let me know if you dare to bully her, see if I don't break your dog legs!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will never touch Barbara's hair!"

I hurriedly expressed my position, but when I saw the face of the landlady changed again, I hurriedly changed my words: "I said, before marriage."

Then she patted my shoulder with satisfaction and signaled that I could leave.

As soon as I went out, before I could catch my breath, I was frightened by a face with stagnant features, and almost screamed.

Take a closer look: Damn it, it's actually Jackson.

This guy blocked my way, stared straight at me, and asked, "What were you doing in the landlady's room?"

I grinned. This guy has been dazzled by secret love. Any man in the world has become his love rival. I sighed helplessly and said, "Exchange information."

"Oh" he nodded and let me pass.

Fortunately, he hadn't completely lost his mind yet, and he knew that the coffee shop was one of the best places to collect information.

Before I even walked out of the corridor, I smelled the tempting aroma of meat. I walked out quickly and saw everyone in the front hall munching on the black steak.

Among the female compatriots, they even forgot to be reserved, and the corners of their mouths were dripping with oil as they ate.

I smiled, walked to the table of the three girls, and sat down. Without touching the knife and fork first, I took out a stack of white paper and carefully wiped away the oil stains from the corners of their mouths.

Loki on the side also imitated me and wiped Lily's mouth. However, his skills were too poor and the oil on his mouth was everywhere. Fortunately, Lily, a snack food, only cared about eating and never took it seriously. .

At this time, Zach spoke: "Xiao Yi, have you seen Jackson?"

I nodded: "Yes, he is at the end of the corridor."

"What is he doing there?" Billy asked: "It's not like his character not to eat such delicious food!"

"Who knows~" I said in a strange tone, "Maybe I can do it there."
