"Elder Si, Mr. Li, Elder Geng... I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting," Su Shuochi greeted them calmly.
"Come, come, sit. Jiaojiao, you're here too? Were you frightened? Are you hurt?"
Mr. Li strode quickly to the door, pulling Gu Jiaojiao over and peppering her with concerned questions.
He ushered the couple to the sofa and even poured them two cups of tea himself.
This nearly made the jaws of the several other people in the office drop. They stared in stunned disbelief at the man and woman, who looked like two Immortals, sitting on the sofa.
'In the presence of so many important figures, they weren't anxious or afraid at all. They were just calmly drinking tea!'
Gu Jiaojiao lifted the teacup Mr. Li had handed her and took a sip. She had already taken stock of the room when she walked in.
She recognized Mr. Li and Elder Geng, but there were three other old men and two middle-aged men she had never seen before. There were no youths in the office.
