Chapter 1194 Switching Targets (1)
“Are you here with your mother? What’s her name? Shall Uncle bring you to look for her? If you’re here by yourself, your mother must be worried sick.”
Little Mo Yang’s smile widened. “I’m not here with my mother. I’m here with my older cousin to eat hotpot. Uncle, do you know my mother?”
Sure enough, Huo Tianning could not hide his disappointment when he heard that Gu Qingyao was not here. After all, this was a child. He was not on his guard at all.
Little Mo Yang saw his disappointment and scoffed inwardly. Idiot!
“I can guess who your mother is from your appearance. Is she Gu Qingyao? The Qiao family’s granddaughter?” Little Mo Yang’s eyes brightened and he nodded vigorously. “That’s right, that’s right! My mother’s name is Gu Qingyao. Uncle, are you my mother’s friend?” Huo Tianning said smilingly, “I guess we can be considered as friends. I knew your mother when we were overseas. But she came back to China so long ago, and I haven’t seen her since!
“Oh, what does your mother usually like to do? Where does she like to go?”
Little Mo Yang’s smile immediately grew even more brilliant. If Huo Tianning had observed him closely, he would have seen a naughty, scheming look forming in his eyes.
“My mother? She loves good food. Her cooking is excellent, and the food that she cooks is delicious. We have plenty of servants to wait on her, so she doesn’t do much. When she’s free, she studies fine cooking. What she likes best of all is the food at Jin Jiang Restaurant!”
Huo Tianning paused. “Jin Jiang Restaurant?”
“That’s right, that’s right! Uncle, let me tell you! Jin Jiang Restaurant has the best food in the capital. My mother has always liked it. She knows all the dishes in Jin Jiang Restaurant thoroughly. Whenever she has time, she would meet her friends to discuss Jin Jiang Restaurant’s delicacies. They would study how their dishes are cooked. She especially likes people who know Jin Jiang Restaurant’s dishes very well.” Huo Tianning was elated. So that was what Gu Qingyao liked. How wonderful. He had finally found out something useful.
Among the rich ladies in the capital, Gu Qingyao’s position was too high. She was always discreet and mysterious. Other people usually did not know much about her.
Those in the upper echelons of society were very sharp and seldom told tales of people in their own circle.
So, people who were not within the circle really did not know what was going on in the circle. “Little friend, you’re such a good boy. What else? What else does your mother enjoy?”
Little One smiled, “Red wine! Jin Jiang Restaurant’s red wine is excellent too. My mother likes all of them.
“Besides analyzing these, whenever she is free, she would bring me to Jin Jiang Restaurant to eat, or go to the fish and pickles restaurant. Those are the two places that Mother frequents the most. Some people often go to these two places to lie in wait for my mother to try to befriend her.”
Huo Tianning could not contain his excitement. When Little One finished talking, he hurriedly said, “Uncle, I have to go back now, or my older cousin will worry.”
With that, he scampered off.
Huo Tianning was lost in delight and did not chase after him.
Little Mo Yang ran far away, then turned a corner before he turned his head to glance at Huo Tianning. “Tsk, tsk, tsk! What an idiot! You want to get information from me? Do you think I’m a fool? Sigh… I’ve gotten you to give my mother’s restaurant more business. Oh, I’m such a clever child!”
Little Mo Yang, who thought that he was very smart, ran back to his place. Mu Mu and Zhong Bingyuan were already back.
