No strange things are allowed to evolve!

He realized that his language was indeed somewhat violent.

Jiang Shu immediately changed his tune.

"I mean, your father is actually in Lies Town? Why didn't you mention it to me?"

Before Windsor could answer, her father frowned and asked, almost accusingly, "Who are you? Does she need to tell you all this?"

“Father, you…” Windsor first looked at her suddenly agitated father in surprise, then looked at Jiang Shu with a hint of expectation, wanting to see how he would answer.

Jiang Shu smiled slightly.

"She also called me Dad."

“Hmm…” Windsor suddenly panicked.

How could I say something like this in front of my father?

Sure enough, Windsor's father was furious: "What?!"

Strawberry Milkshake also looked at Jiang Shu in shock.

However, this was just a feint by Jiang Shu.

"Actually, I am her friend, but before I became her friend, I was her guest."

Jiang Shu explained:

"There's a saying in my hometown: customers are our bread and butter. So before I became her friend, I was her father, right?"

Windsor's father squinted, but his anger subsided somewhat.

Strawberry Milkshake sighed: "Don't joke like that, you idiot."

“That’s right,” Windsor nodded in agreement.

Although she knew Jiang Shu wasn't joking.

She really did call it that.

At this moment, Windsor's father looked at Windsor and said sternly, "I told you not to continue running the shop. Look at the kind of people you associate with!"

Jiang Shu disagreed.

Strawberry Milkshake scratched her face awkwardly: "Actually, I should be fine, right?"

Windsor's father glanced at her and said, "You're alright, so I also advise you to stay away from him."

"Haha." Strawberry Milkshake laughed meaningfully.

Hearing her father's words, the usually gentle Windsor finally couldn't hold back anymore. With a hint of anger, she said to him, "Please don't talk to my friend like that, or I'll really get angry!"

"Hmph." Her father snorted coldly, but really didn't say anything more.

"So," Jiang Shu asked, "you were delayed until so late because of your father?"

Windsor nodded. She had nothing to hide from Jiang Shu: "Actually, I've lived in Lies Town since I was a child. I ran away from home secretly for that person, and after that, my relationship with my father became very bad."

For a long time, I had no contact with my father. It wasn't until a few times recently, when I came to Lies Town to sell herbs and purchase goods, that I reconnected with him. I then realized that he had been silently watching over me all along, and sometimes even helped me attract business by getting people to spend money at my shop. I had always thought that it was my little shop that had become famous.

So my father has always known that I've had a difficult time. Each time I've come to Lie Town these past two times, he's found out and has been pestering me to come home with him. Today was no different, so it took him a little longer.

“I’m not bothering you! I’m giving you orders, but you won’t listen, so I have no other choice,” Windsor’s father immediately retorted.

"Yes, yes, it's an order, it's an order." Windsor nodded obediently.

"And another thing," Windsor's father said disapprovingly, "Why do you tell him everything? You've already been deceived once, and I've often warned you. You should have learned your lesson. Why do you so easily trust others again? Aren't you afraid he's also a poet of lies?"

"I am," Jiang Shu admitted.

“Don’t give me that! A real poet of lies would never admit to being a poet of lies!” But Windsor’s father didn’t believe him.

What a terrible world, no one believes the truth... Jiang Shu felt heartbroken.

"Sigh, don't worry, I'm all grown up now and can make my own judgments," Windsor said helplessly. "Let's not talk about those unhappy things from the past. We haven't had dinner yet, why don't we eat together?"

"Why should I eat with him?" Windsor's father looked at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu was a straightforward person: "Then you can leave."

Why should I listen to you?

after a while.

The four of them squeezed together at a small table, staring at each other.

Perhaps sensing the awkwardness, Windsor stood up and said, "I'll go and hurry up with the dishes."

Not long after she left, Jiang Shu also got up: "I'm going to the restroom, anyone want to come with me?"

Windsor's father sneered, "Going to the toilet in pairs? Are you even a girl?"

"Then I'll go by myself." Jiang Shu smiled smugly.

Windsor's father looked at the smile on his face and felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

So he looked at the strawberry milkshake: "They really are just friends, right?"

"Yeah," Strawberry Milkshake asked doubtfully, "What else could it be, lovers?"

"That's what I'm worried about."

“That’s impossible.” Strawberry Milkshake shook its head.

Not to mention that Jiang Shu isn't from this world, and the natives of this world are just NPCs to him, and...

“We’ve only known each other for a few days, and I was there the whole time on the way to Lies Town. If there had been anything unusual, I would have noticed it long ago.”

"Really?" Windsor's father stared into the strawberry milkshake's eyes and felt a deep sincerity, so he decided to remain skeptical for the time being: "That would be best."

Before long, Windsor and Jiang Shu returned one after the other.

It seems the two did not spend time together during that period.

Windsor's father nodded to himself.

However, he soon noticed that Windsor's expression was a little off, and her posture was unusually upright. After sitting down, she didn't move an inch, like a wooden doll.

"What's wrong? Is the chair uncomfortable?" he asked.

"Ah...no." Windsor shook her head and forced a smile. "I'm just tired after a long day, and my back is a little sore. This way is more comfortable."

"I see." Windsor's father didn't think much of it.

Soon, the dishes were served.

This time, the shop owner had a big smile on his face, unlike his previous unfriendly demeanor.

Because Windsor ordered all of the restaurant's signature dishes.

"You should have said you were waiting for Miss Windsor earlier," he said to Jiang Shu with a smile. "If you had told me sooner, I would have known sooner."

"Didn't you say you didn't remember what she looked like?"

"I might forget what she looks like, but I'll never forget her name," the shopkeeper chuckled, glancing at Windsor's father. "Besides, who doesn't know..."

"Ahem." Windsor's father coughed twice.

The owner immediately changed the subject, saying, "Anyway, these are all our signature dishes. Please enjoy them."

Having said that, he walked away backwards.

Through the shop owner's behavior, both Jiang Shu and Strawberry Milkshake realized that Windsor's father seemed to be someone extraordinary.

Furthermore, Jiang Shu also thought of the suspicious points that Windsor had shown.

Furthermore, Windsor's father's attitude towards the lying poet didn't seem to be as fearful as most people would.

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu asked Windsor's father, who had already started eating, "Master, what do you do?"

"Do I need to talk to you?" He didn't want to answer Jiang Shu's question.

However, he didn't answer; plenty of others did.

Jiang Shu nudged Windsor, who remained silent, under the table with his foot. Windsor suddenly trembled, looked at Jiang Shu with a puzzled expression, and then Jiang Shu asked, "What does your father do?"

Without a second thought, Windsor said directly, "My father is actually the president of a fairly well-known chamber of commerce in Lies Town, and he can influence the entire Lies Town market."

"Why are you..." Windsor's father was about to give her a good talking-to when he saw Jiang Shu looking over, so he changed his attitude again: "What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

"Actually, it's alright."

"whispering sound."

Although Jiang Shu remained outwardly calm, she was actually quite pleasantly surprised.

The most important reason he came to Windsor was to ask her for help in setting up a small scheme, using the connections she had built up through her frequent drug sales.

Unexpectedly, Windsor's father turned out to be the president of one of the merchant guilds in Liestown.

So... it seems we can expand this scheme a bit more.

Noticing Jiang Shu's gaze, Windsor's father felt as if ants were crawling all over him.

He stared at Jiang Shu with hostility: "What do you want?"

"I'm just curious, the president of the chamber of commerce must be very experienced and shrewd in doing business, right?" Jiang Shu asked.

Sensing the slight admiration in his tone, Windsor's father said with a touch of pride, "Of course."

To be honest...

Jiang Shu looked serious:

"Actually, I'm also a business genius. I have an idea that I've been thinking about for a long time. I wonder if you could give me some pointers? It would be even better if we could work together to make this a success."

Seeing Jiang Shu's expression change, Strawberry Milkshake knew he had another idea up his sleeve.

So she ate her meal while silently craning her neck to wait.

However, Windsor's father did not understand Jiang Shu. He only knew that Jiang Shu had changed his attitude after he learned his identity, and secretly regarded Jiang Shu as an opportunist and short-sighted person.

But with Windsor present, he couldn't say much. He only planned to go back and recount the dinner later, telling her what a despicable person his friend was.

Therefore, in order to have more material for review, he did not reject Jiang Shu's suggestion.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. A good businessman can often tell what kind of person someone is just by looking at their business acumen.

He considers himself to be that kind of person.

So, with a hint of joy in his heart, he nodded calmly:

"You say it."

Jiang Shu cleared his throat and began to recount his grand plan.

At first, Windsor's father didn't take it seriously, but as time went on, he became more and more engrossed, his eyes widening.

Even after Jiang Shu had stopped listening for a long time, he was still immersed in the story, savoring the experience.

The plan was meticulous and flawless; even he himself might not have been able to devise such a scheme. If the person who proposed the plan hadn't been sitting right across from him, he would never have believed that such cunning tactics could be used by someone the same age as his daughter, or even younger.

The only problem is...

"Isn't this a scam?!"

Upon suddenly hearing her father's raised voice, Windsor, who had been struggling with her inner conflict and hadn't been listening to anything they were saying, stood up reflexively.

"He didn't commit fraud; he's not a poet of lies!"

Simultaneously.

A soft sound rang out.

Fortunately, Jiang Shu reacted quickly and caught the falling radish toy; no one present noticed...

Chapter 107 Who gave them this assessment for me?

"Have you heard? Because the market's inventory is exhausted, the price of materials from fourth-tier magical beasts has gone crazy lately!"

"real or fake?"

“We’ve known each other for so many years, would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, go and ask around, the market was in an uproar this morning.”

"How many points did it rise?"

"A few percentage points? Hmph, that's a fivefold increase!"
