Volume 1 Rebirth Returns Chapter 28 Meeting Three (First Push for Collection!)

  Su Lao and his group followed Su Rui into the courtyard, crossing the gate, a flash of surprise flickered in everyone's eyes. Before they were outside the yard, they only thought that this yard was well-built, but when they came in, they found out that it was more than just well-built! The wide and spacious courtyard, with its winding paths paved with pebbles, surrounded by flowers and stacked rocks, made people feel even closer to nature.

  The entire quadrangle courtyard is exquisitely carved with intricate beams and pillars, revealing a subtle yet elegant nobility that cannot be compared to the imperial residences of the royal families in Beijing. No one expected to find such an exquisite and luxurious small quadrangle courtyard in this remote small county town.

  Tao Ze Xi also showed a surprised expression, because he had never come in to visit before. When he sent Su Rui here to confirm whether Liu Qing Yun was her master or not, he and Officer Wang only stood at the door, talked and then left, without any chance to go inside. This time was his first time entering this place, and he was immediately attracted by such a beautiful courtyard.

  After traveling extensively throughout the country, seeing and experiencing many things, Su Lao was only stunned for a moment before regaining his composure. He shifted his gaze to an old man standing upright like a green pine in the courtyard, full of spirit and energy.

  Su Rui took a step forward, speaking softly: "Master." Her eyes were filled with deep gratitude. She knew that Master might have already guessed her true identity, but he didn't ask and didn't say anything, instead silently protecting her. This kind of consideration and care gave her the warmth of rebirth, making her feel moved.

  At this time, they heard Su Rui's voice, and only then did Su Xun and the others shift their gaze from the carved beams and painted pillars in the courtyard to look at the old man wearing a white practice uniform inside the courtyard, with a scrutinizing expression.

  However, when they saw the old man, who was spirited and had an extraordinary air about him, they put their minds at ease. They had learned of Su Rui's existence yesterday and rushed over today, even though someone had already been sent to investigate this mysterious old man. But since it was 1994 and information wasn't as developed yet, they still hadn't received the news they wanted.

  They had been worried that Su Rui would be used by someone with ulterior motives to harm the two families of Su Ye, after all, if Su Rui was adopted by a hypocritical and sinister person, they would have to make an effort to deal with him. However, seeing the old man's appearance now, they believed he wasn't that kind of person. Because this old man looked like a straightforward and honest person at first glance.

  Liu Qingyun stood there, letting them look her up and down, without feeling uncomfortable or being stared at, but instead smiled slightly. That demeanor made even Old Su feel admiration.

  Su Lao sized up Liu Qingyun for a moment before stepping forward and bowing his hands, saying "I don't know your name, sir?"

  Liu Qingyun waved his hand casually and said warmly, "I am Liu Qingyun."

  Liu Qingyun? Su Lao slightly furrowed his brow, carefully thinking back in his mind. This name was indeed familiar, but he just couldn't recall it. Seeing Grandfather Su frowning and looking tired, Su Rui felt a pang of dull pain in her heart. "Master, why don't we have dinner first?" Seeing Liu Qingyun's ambiguous smile as she gazed at her reddened eyes, Su Rui felt somewhat embarrassed. However, Liu Qingyun didn't make things difficult for her either and nodded lightly towards her. "You must be tired from the journey, let's finish dinner and freshen up first, then we can talk."

  After all, they had been sitting in the car for several hours and were really tired, so they didn't make excuses anymore.

  Upon entering the dining hall, they saw that most of the dishes on the table were Beijing cuisine. They assumed these were prepared by the old master, as it seemed only Liu Qingyun and Su Rui lived in this courtyard, with Su Rui being only 14 years old. They naturally thought these were made by Su Rui's teacher, which made them feel closer to the old man and more at ease.

  Liu Qingyun and Su Lao took their seats, followed by Su He and Ye Haotian. After the three of them were seated, only one position remained, it was unclear whether this was intentional or not. This empty seat happened to be between Liu Qingyun and Su Lao. Originally, Liu Qingyun sat in the main seat, and his right side should have been Su Lao's, but Su Lao sat with a position separating him from Liu Qingyun, so Su Rui could only sit in that unique position, sandwiched between Su Lao and Liu Qingyun.

  After a lifetime, she finally saw her relatives, but Su Rui felt a little nervous. Earlier at the gate, she hugged Su Lao Da and cried, it was really because she had been suppressing herself since she discovered her true identity and reincarnation, although she didn't show it every day, but she also had grievances in her heart, so when she saw her grandfather who loved her most in her previous life, she couldn't help but rush up and cry loudly.

  But after crying, she regretted it because she hadn't recognized her grandfather yet! Moreover, it was really too embarrassing to cry in front of so many people without any image, and Su Xiang would definitely laugh at herself afterwards.

  At the dinner table, everyone was eating seriously, they were indeed a bit hungry, and Su Rui and Liu Qingyun had eaten a simple lunch, so they were also a bit hungry in the evening.

  After a while, Su Xiang slowed down her wolfing and tiger-swallowing pace, picked up some Beijing-style braised meat threads with her chopsticks and put them in her mouth to savor carefully. She chewed twice, nudged Su Yin with her arm twice, and said softly: "Hey, have you noticed that this Beijing-style braised meat thread is similar to mom's?"

  Su Yin ate expressionlessly, ignoring his own brother, but after taking another bite of the Beijing-style braised pork, he subtly nodded in approval. If Su Xiang hadn't been staring at her brother with shining eyes, she wouldn't have noticed. Now, Su Xiang was like a discoverer of new lands, trying each dish one by one, and found that not only did they taste like their own mother's cooking, but some were even the specialty dishes of Ye family's grandmother, with flavors that were 70-80% similar.

  Su Xiang was able to discover it, but Su Lao and those people were unable to discover it. Although they were very puzzled, they still didn't ask anything stupid.

  Liu Qingyun seemed to sense their confusion and automatically spoke up to dispel their doubts, "All the dishes on this table were made by Su Rui herself, just to entertain the distinguished guests from afar."

  Honored guest? Aren't they the ones? Su Xun suddenly became vigilant, how did they know, was there a traitor? However, this thought was immediately denied by him. The purpose of their coming here and their destination were only known to the two families of Su Ye, as well as Tao Zexi and Tao Jingmin, but he believed that they would not betray the Su Ye family. But how did their whereabouts get leaked?

  Tao Ze Xi was not suspicious because he had seen Su Rui's magic before, but he thought Su Rui used divination. So he thought Liu Qing Yun was the master who taught Su Rui these strange divination techniques, and their whereabouts were naturally calculated. But Su Lao and others didn't know, only to see Su Lao furrowed his brow. Su Rui saw her grandfather frowning, thinking that he had eaten something that didn't agree with him, so she naturally moved some dishes that Su Lao liked to eat in front of him.
