Song Ci and her party were invited into the elegant private room of Shangzhen House. The shopkeeper personally led the staff in with tea and snacks, and with a series of apologetic words.
"Madam, it's an honor to have you here. The staff were truly blind not to recognize you, and I apologize for our lack of hospitality."
Song Ci chuckled and said, "The shopkeeper is too polite. We just arrived and haven't even entered yet, so how could there be any lack of hospitality? As for whether the staff recognize me or not, I'm not Silver; it's impossible for everyone to know me!"
Shopkeeper: "..."
Are you blaming me?
Everyone: "..."
Is this humor or sarcasm?
The shopkeeper, trembling with fear yet full of smiles, said, "Madam, you really know how to joke."
Song Ci took a sip of tea and looked at the two young girls, Song Ruqi and Song Ruwei, saying boldly, "Whatever you want to buy, feel free to browse. If you like something, buy it. Grandmother will cover the cost."
