Realizing he wouldn't get any more information from the waiter, Shui Xingqiu didn't press further.
The waiter quickly brought him a pot of Snow Drink.
Shui Xingqiu poured a cup, brought it to his nose to smell it, then set it back down.
...
Meanwhile, Xue Ran had just finished organizing the accounts when a waiter approached him and said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, a customer just came in who seems a bit strange..."
Xue Ran found it odd. "How so?"
The waiter gestured with his hand, hidden below the counter, in a certain direction and briefly recounted what had just happened.
Xue Ran didn't pay much mind at first, but his expression grew more serious as he listened.
"He asked several questions, all of them circling back to the Second Miss. I didn't tell him anything, but I have no idea what he's up to."
Xue Ran pondered for a moment. "I understand. You can go back to your work. Act as if everything is normal. I'll handle the rest."
