Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 125
"Ah, I was negligent, Young Master." Li Chongyang saluted and smiled, still with a calm smile on his face.

Xue Wanhua smiled, "Brother Li, you may not realize that you only call me by my name when you ask for help or when you make a mistake..."

His complexion changed slightly, and Li Chongyang said anxiously: "Young Master, you and I grew up together, you should know that my heart and soul are all for Xue Ji..."

Not responding to him, Xue Wanhua just turned her head to look at shopkeeper Huang, "Treasurer Huang, you are an old man of Xue Ji, and I don't want to go too far against things."

As soon as Xue Wanhua finished speaking, Shopkeeper Huang knelt down and said, "Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master..."

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice, "Although I don't intend to sue the yamen, it doesn't mean I won't pursue you. Ten days, I only give you ten days, Spit out 2000 taels of silver for me, hand over all the books, and get out of Xueji. If you let me know which one you are still in collusion with Xueji, don't blame me and report to the government immediately!"

His face turned pale, Shopkeeper Huang raised his head, and wanted to plead again, but Li Chongyang had already kicked him, "Hurry up and thank Young Master for your tolerance."

After being kicked by Li Chongyang, shopkeeper Huang gritted his teeth and bowed down. Although he said thank you, there was no smile on his face.

It's just that none of the few people in the elegant room looked at him, Xue Wanhua just looked at Li Chongyang, quietly watching, but didn't make a sound.

Li Chongyang also knew that Xue Wanhua had something to say, so he signaled Shopkeeper Huang to leave with his eyes. He approached with a smile, and said softly, "Sister Wanhua, you really have a kind heart..."

"Brother Li!" Xue Wanhua cut off Li Chongyang's words directly, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow you will resign from the post of manager!"

Li Chongyang was taken aback, and could hardly believe his ears, "What did you say? Ask me to resign from the position in charge?"

"Heh..." He laughed dryly twice, and asked, "Didn't you really believe Miss Gu's words and think that I was in collusion with Shopkeeper Huang?!"

Seeing that Xue Wanhua was silent, his voice became louder, "Wanhua, we grew up together, you know who I am! Besides, what reason do I have to collude with shopkeeper Huang to covet Mo Xueji's money?"

Speaking with confidence, he looked at Gu Sixiao contemptuously, "Miss Gu has only been at Xue's house for a long time, how can you believe her or not me?!"

"Brother Li, you are exaggerating!" Xue Wanhua frowned and said, "Even if Hua'er only came here for a day, she is still my sister!"

When Xue Wanhua said such words directly, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but stare at her.

Could it be that she was overthinking and misunderstood Xue Wanhua?
Gritting his teeth, Li Chongyang finally said loudly: "She is your sister, who am I?! Wanhua, although no one said it clearly, everyone knows that I will be your husband-in-law in the future! You really only believe in this sister , don’t you believe me, my future husband?!”

Complexion darkened, Xue Wanhua shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Li, the more you talk, the more you go too far! What future husband-in-law? Who has ever said such things to you? Don't say such things again in the future. It will ruin my reputation." .”

"Why did I talk nonsense? Uncle Xue adopted me, but didn't recognize me as his son-in-law. Isn't it just to recruit me as his son-in-law?! Wanhua, you are eighteen years old, but you still haven't promised anyone. Isn't it just to recruit a son-in-law? Come to the door?"

"I want to recruit a son-in-law, but I never said that I want to recruit you as a son-in-law!"

Xue Wanhua snorted coldly, "Brother Li, from the beginning to the end, it was just your own guess. No one told you that I would recruit you as—that——even in the future, I don’t want to hear about your Don’t blame me for being rude to you if you talk nonsense about this kind of thing with others!”

Xue Wanhua's words were resolute and firm, without any sloppiness, but she actually showed that she had no affection for Li Chongyang.

Xue Wanhua didn't like Li Chongyang, Gu Sixiao didn't find it surprising, but she was a little surprised that she said it so decisively.

Didn't everyone say that Li Chongyang will join Xue's family?Even Xue Wanying said that Li Chongyang must marry her sister, but she didn't expect that Xue Wanhua didn't mean it at all.

Hearing such words suddenly, Li Chongyang was also shocked.

Although he was always thinking about other things in his heart, it was because he felt that Xue Wanhua was not easy to control, but he never thought that Xue Wanhua would be so disgusted that he never considered asking him to be his son-in-law.

Somewhat shocked, he was silent for a while before asking in a harsh voice: "Anyway, you just don't believe me, do you? To say such angry words..."

"I'm not angry! Brother Li, we grew up together, and I respect you as a brother, but if you talk about other things, you and I are not suitable!"

Xue Wanhua looked at Li Chongyang calmly, and said calmly: "Brother Li won't come to the shop tomorrow..."

Opened his mouth, Li Chongyang didn't plead any more, but took a step back, and said in a flat voice, "Since sister Wanhua has made up her mind, let her follow her... Brother Yu will leave first!"

Without keeping him, Xue Wanhua just turned to the window and opened the bamboo curtain.

Gu Sixiao also walked over and followed her gaze.

At the door of the teahouse across the street, the one who lingered was the shopkeeper Huang who had just left.

But after a while, when Li Chongyang went out from the restaurant, shopkeeper Huang immediately greeted him, approached Li Chongyang, and spoke in a low voice.

Li Chongyang didn't have the heart to talk to him, but just rushed forward, the shopkeeper Huang was unwilling, so he followed quickly, talking non-stop.

Turning her head, looking at Xue Wanhuajiang's indifferent expression, Gu Sixiao didn't know what to say.

She identified it just now, and Xue Wanhua also believed it, but seeing it with her own eyes, she still feels uncomfortable, right?

"Sister Wanhua,"

As soon as she called out, Xue Wanhua looked up at her, "Hua'er, you did a great job."

His eyes flickered, Gu Sixiao blinked, lowered his head and laughed.

It seems that he is trying to suppress but still can't help laughing because of being praised.

She still had doubts about Xue Wanhua in her heart, so she didn't dare to show her sincerity like before.

But she didn't want Xue Wanhua to open up to her instead, "Does Hua'er think I'm too heartless?"

"Why did my sister say that?"

Xue Wanhua smiled wryly, "Half of Luoyang knows that Li Chongyang will be the son-in-law of the Xue family. Although it has never been officially announced, when those rumors spread, no one has refuted them. Now I suddenly turned my face like this, how can I Isn't it ruthless?"

"Little sister doesn't think..."

Then Li Chongyang flirts with you behind your back, even Xue Wanying won't let go, it's not a good match at all, the best choice is not to have him.

I really wanted to say this directly, but Gu Sixiao still kept it in her heart and didn't say it.

The matter involved the two sisters of the Xue family, it would be better for her as an outsider to keep her mouth shut.

"Actually, a few years ago, I didn't feel that my father's arrangement was bad. Anyway, he wanted to recruit a son-in-law. Brother Li and I grew up together, so he was better than someone I didn't know. But since I took charge of Xue Ji's business, Although we cooperate tacitly with Brother Li in business, I feel more and more that it is not a good thing to recruit him as a son-in-law."

Shaking her head, Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice: "Brother Li looks gentle, polite and capable on the outside, but he is very ambitious in his heart. If I ask him to be my son-in-law, he will definitely eat away at the Xue family bit by bit. Industry, if you are not careful, my Xue family will become someone else's pocket."

Sure enough, it was Xue Wanhua, who actually saw Li Chongyang so thoroughly. Her self-righteous reminder before was simply...

With vigilance in mind, Gu Sixiao frowned and asked: "My sister already knew about the collusion between Shopkeeper Huang and Li Chongyang? You sent me to check the accounts just to get rid of Li Chongyang!"

Looking at Xue Wanhua's calm expression, Gu Sixiao couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

"What if I can't find out about Shopkeeper Huang's greed for ink?"

"Didn't you find out!" Xue Wanhua looked at her with a smile, and smiled slightly, "My sister, Xue Wanhua, why can't I find out?!"

"Should I thank my sister for looking up to me?" Gu Sixiao was a little dumbfounded.

Xue Wanhua had already smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me, Huaer, I plan to transfer the shopkeeper from Jinan Beicheng shop to Qingshui County, so you can go to Beicheng to be the shopkeeper?"

"This..." After pondering for a moment, Gu Sixiao confessed honestly, "Sister, in Qingshui County, I have already granted Guanshi Zhang the position of 'treasurer' in Qingshui County. See, can you let Guanshi Zhang be Qingshui's manager?" Shopkeeper? My little girl really doesn’t want to lose her trust.”

With a flicker of eyes, Xue Wanhua was silent for a long time, but still nodded, "For a businessman, honesty is the most important thing. Since my sister has already agreed, then I can only accept it. It's just my sister..."

"I don't need to be a shopkeeper," Gu Sixiao said with a direct smile, "Actually, I'm already very content to learn how to do business with my sister. And I don't want to stay in Xueji forever—wait to save some money. It’s good enough for me to open a small fan shop myself.”

"Leave Xue Ji?" Xue Wanhua frowned, stared at Gu Sixiao for a long time, and then said: "This matter should be discussed in the long run, and everything can be discussed after my sister leaves the teacher?"

Gu Sixiao smiled, and although she didn't respond, she didn't argue any more.

He just stopped the car in front of Xue's mansion, but the old man on the door took the initiative to report that Li Guanren had come over in the afternoon, playing chess with the high official in the study, and he hasn't left yet.

Xue Wanhua was not surprised, she just smiled and told Gu Sixiao to go to greet the old lady first, but she went directly to the study in the front yard.

Gu Sixiao guessed in his heart what Li Chongyang would say to Xue Wen, and when Gu Sixiao went to the backyard to greet the old lady, he was a little careless.

Xue Wanying was also in Cixuan Hall, obviously waiting for someone, when she saw Gu Sixiao entering the door, her expectant eyes dimmed immediately.

"Really, why is Brother Li like this? He didn't even know how to greet grandma when he came here. Grandma has been hurt for so many years for nothing."

"I'm an old woman, what's the good thing to see, he, as long as he can be filial to your father, that's enough..." As she spoke, the old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Sixiao.

Is this taking advantage of Li Chongyang to beat her?
Gu Sixiao lowered her head and smiled, but said nothing.

Although she is not sure whether Xue Wen is her real father, but since Xue Wen recognizes her, she will be filial to Xue Wen.No matter how bad she is, she won't remember Xue's property like Li Chongyang.

While talking, a girl came back and said that it was Li Chongyang who came to greet the old lady.

"Let him in! I'm afraid my place is too deserted, making young people feel bored..." After the old lady finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Gu Sixiao, "Hua'er, you have been in the shop for a long time , what do you think of Li Chongyang?!"

Hey, what did you ask her for? !

Gu Sixiao was taken aback for a while, why did she ask her about this before she could react for a long time!
