Chapter 7

Promise

Seeing Shen Li's actions, Shen Jiao was stunned and didn't know whether to be happy or cry.

One hundred taels bought two pieces of cloth, and her father knew not to scold her to death.

She pointed at Shen Li with an angry look on her face.

"You...you did it on purpose!"

Shen Li's expression didn't change, he stopped talking to her and turned to look at other fabrics.

Shen Jiao was not in the mood to quarrel with Shen Li at this time. She reluctantly took out the money and looked at Ma Ziming's grin that reached from ear to ear. She only felt her flesh ache.

Thanks to Shen Li, Ma Ziming got this big deal, and he waved his hand.

"Miss Shen, look at the other fabrics in our store. They are all at the lowest price for you today."

In the end, Shen Li spent twenty taels of silver to buy a piece of silk, a piece of cotton, and three pieces of fine cloud brocade, and returned home with a full load.

On the way home, Xiaoshuang had not yet recovered from the shock.

The matchmaker was a thick-skinned person, so she nudged the crack in the door and walked in. The main reason was that Mr. Zhang promised her a huge amount of wedding money. If it came true, she wouldn't have to worry about supporting her in her old age.

Seeing Shen Li's confused look, Xiao Shuang wondered.

Chu Xiong was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice.

Before Shen Li could say anything, the door was opened. Zhong Ning heard the matchmaker yelling at the door and was about to go out to chase them away. Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Li coming back.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a restaurant today."

Shen Li had to admire this man's ability to change his face. One second before and the next, he looked like he was not the same person.

"Don't accuse me wrongly. I have never even held a girl's hand."

Shen Li held Xiaoshuang's shoulder with one hand and entered the restaurant door with a majestic attitude.

"I saw her being sneaky and acting suspiciously. You thought she was just like you."

"Hey, now you know how to peek at girls."

Shen Li continued to walk forward, only to hear the big red flower talking and was getting excited.

Shen Li had a question mark on his face: Are you talking about her?

Dahonghua seemed to feel someone approaching from behind. She turned her head and was stunned for a moment. Then she started to look at Shen Li up and down, and the smile on her face gradually widened.

Si Yan looked away, frowned at Chu Xiong, and said in a cold tone.

I couldn't find any kind of girl to fill my house, but I fell in love with your family, Shen Li. Don't you think this is fate? After all, she is the real wife."

"Miss, didn't you see how dark Shen Jiao's face was when she left? I have never seen her so deflated."

Shen Li also felt relieved, after all, the original owner had always looked at her face.

After hearing these words, Si Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Xiong. He saw that he was unshaven, his mouth stuffed with rice, and he was talking indistinctly, with a speechless expression on his face.

Mrs. Liu kept gesticulating and talking.

After a lot of trouble, it was getting late. Shen Li caught a glimpse of a restaurant out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the place was crowded, he greeted Xiaoshuang.

The person sitting facing her was drinking tea with his eyes lowered, and his sharp eyebrows looked very familiar.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng, who had been silent next to him, suddenly slammed the door.

But just as she was about to move, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two people sitting in the corner by the window.

"If you really don't want to, Mr. Zhang has said that it would be great if Mrs. Zhong is willing to remarry. If she does, she will be the first wife."

Mrs. Liu was about to say "Xing Xingzi", but when she saw that Zhong Ning's expression showed no sign of relaxing, she suddenly changed her words.

Speaking of bandits, Si Yan paused while holding the tea cup. He seemed to remember where he had seen that figure just now.

"Li'er, ignore this person and come in quickly."

The whole movement was smooth and smooth, just like running away. It was not as smooth as when he was in Buzhuang just now.



Shen Li had no intention of going upstairs, so he planned to find a seat by the window on the first floor.

Shen Li rushed home as if running for her life. When she arrived at the door of her house, she found several people standing at the door, including a middle-aged woman with a big red flower on her head.

"You are marrying, not kidnapping. Do you think you can make yourself look like a bandit?"

Besides, it would be nice if someone wanted a girl brought out by a widow."

"You have already been married once, and you really treat yourself like a dish. If Mr. Zhang hadn't seen how pretty she is, and what happened to her, who would have married her as his wife?

The waiter comes to the door to greet customers.

"Do you think she has a problem with me?"

"Ouch, you blind idiot, you almost hit me."

Shen Li was the only one who was panicking. She felt like she was sweating a lot on her back. She seemed to have the same hands and feet when she ran out just now.

Chu Xiong was talking like he was pouring beans when he suddenly felt that Si Yan was distracted. He followed Si Yan's gaze and caught a glimpse of Shen Li's back.

But who would have thought that she would meet him again? This world is too small!

Fortunately, she thought the man just now was good-looking and took a second look before she recognized him.

Xiaoshuang thought it made sense, but didn't think much about it.

"As for the little girl my family ordered for me, after she changed to Geng Tie, I originally wanted to take her out for a walk, but she felt bored after listening to the show and complained that she was tired when going out. I originally thought it would be better to go to Xiangshan with me in two days, but she Changing your mind at the last minute is really a big trouble."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiong asked again when he saw that Si Yan did not respond.

"Guests, please come inside. There are private seats upstairs."

Speaking of this, Chu Xiong's sadness seemed to be aroused again. There was irritation in his face and eyes, so he continued to say what he just said.

"This is the girl from the Shen family. She is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older. I have arranged a good marriage for you. Let's go in and talk about it."

"Mrs. Zhong, you really need to think about it. Although Mr. Zhang is a bit older, he is still considered rich.

Since the incident on the wedding day, Shen Li neither inquired nor told anyone about the person who saved her, for fear of getting angry. After all, the person didn't look like a simple person.

However, Da Honghua did not feel embarrassed, and instead started chatting enthusiastically.

The next second, Shen Li pushed Xiaoshuang's shoulder, and regardless of the waiter's astonished expression, she pulled Xiaoshuang and walked out.

In an instant, lightning flashed in Shen Li's mind.

Is this a visitor? The dress is a bit special.

Shen Li's throat was dry and he coughed twice.

After walking out of the door, Shen Li raised his hand to calm down. Oh, it's so dangerous.

A scream from Mrs. Liu was heard outside the door.

When Chu Xiong heard what he said, he quit and said in a rough voice.

"I suddenly felt that I should go home for dinner. If I go back late, my mother will be worried."

She tried to pull Shen Li's arm in a familiar manner, but Shen Li sidestepped and dodged.

Gu Sheng quickly closed the door latch. When he turned around, he quietly pulled Zhong Ning's wrist and said expressionlessly.

"Gone."

Zhong Ning seemed to listen to his words and followed him step by step.

Shen Li looked at it and felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
