Chapter 78: Change from Evil and Return to Righteousness
Chapter 78: Change from Evil and Return to Righteousness
A round head popped out from the carriage. The owner of the head was none other than Su Sijing, the troublemaker of the Su family.
"Are you okay?" The devil didn't know what mistake he had made, and looked indifferent.
Li Jing frowned when he saw this man. This title of the devil was not in vain. He had caused so much trouble these days.
Su Sijing naturally filtered out Li Jing's unhappy look, jumped off the carriage, and pretended to pat the non-existent dust on his body. Then he bowed to Li Jing and said, "Thank you for saving my life, sir."
Li Jing also jumped off the carriage and said, "You can't ride a horse in the street. If you hit any civilians, you won't be able to take responsibility."
Su Sijing lowered his head and his master's eyes turned around twice, muttering, "I know I was wrong, and it won't happen again. I hope you can forgive me."
He is very respectful and there is nothing wrong with him. If you meet the child for the first time, you will definitely think that he is a good child. It is a rare time for him to make a stupid mistake, so he should be forgiven.
It’s just that every time this troublemaker makes a mistake, he only humbly admits it but never corrects it. He pays the fine very happily, which makes people at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Niannian caught up and looked at her, "What's going on?"
Li Jing pointed at Su Sijing who was standing respectfully in front of him.
Gu Niannian understood, "Su family boy!"
"Huh?" Su Sijing looked up in confusion and thought, why is there a woman here?
Still standing next to Li Jing, could it be that... the iron tree has blossomed?
Gu Niannian saw his eyes rolling around, and was afraid that he was thinking of some bad idea again!
"Su Sijing is really as the rumors say, an ignorant brat. I think he is not even a bit comparable to Xie Feixing of the Xie family."
After saying that, he nudged Li Jing next to him with his elbow.
"Yes... yes! Xie Feixing is so young but he can help the Xie family run the business. He has traveled all over the world and is very knowledgeable. This brat can't compare to him." He added a look of contempt after saying this.
"Who said that? Xie Feixing is capable of running a pharmacy, and I, Su Sijing, also brought chili peppers to my family, so how can I not be as good as him?" Su Sijing's face flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed.
"Really? Then do you know how much your family earns per month? What dish is the most popular?" Gu Niannian continued to ask.
Su Sijing opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He really didn't know. He had barely managed the family business, only his father and mother worked hard.
His parents indulged him and let him play, saying that he was still a child and as long as he didn't do anything harmful, they would cover for him.
"These are the most basic things to run a restaurant... Go ask Xie Feixing now to see if he knows them all... Then you'll know where you lost."
"You are not a child anymore, and your parents are not young anymore!"
Gu Niannian’s provocation was very effective, and Su Sijing wanted to turn around and jump onto the carriage.
Li Jing took a look and said, "Huh? Horses are not allowed on the streets."
Su Sijing got off the carriage obediently, "Uncle Zhang, please pull the carriage back!"
"I'm going to Uncle Xie's house to take a look."
He turned around and said goodbye to the two of them, and rushed to Xie Feixing's house.
Li Jing looked at his reckless back and frowned, "Are you sure he will turn over a new leaf?"
"I think he wants to leave here as soon as possible. He runs away so happily. He doesn't look like someone who wants to humbly seek advice and change his ways."
Gu Niannian shrugged nonchalantly, "Who cares? We haven't seen each other for months, how can we let a little brat delay us?"
After saying that, he reached out and took Li Jing's hand, "Let's go!"
Li Jing was speechless as he held her hand, his face reddening to the roots of his ears. He didn't move his hand at all, fearing that if he moved, he would no longer be able to hold the hand he longed to hold day and night.
Gu Niannian was helpless. She wasn't the type to take the initiative, but this taciturn guy would have to wait until his hair turned gray before he finally understood. Since they already knew they had a mutual understanding, what did it matter who took the initiative first?
Besides, it's just holding hands. As a young woman in the 21st century, it's not an easy thing.
Having said that, Gu Niannian was also a little scared. She was single and it was the first time for her to hold a man's hand. Although his palm was rough, it was warm enough. The big hand wrapped around her small hand, making her feel very safe. How can I describe this feeling? So far, it's not bad! "
What Li Jing was thinking at this moment was whether this road could be longer and longer, preferably one that could last forever.
But no matter how slowly they walked, the road was only so long, and they would eventually reach the end. When they saw the words "Medicinal Food Shop", they tacitly let go of each other's hands.
The doorman at the door was surprised to see that Li Jing brought a woman with him, and said, "Sir, I will go in and report to the lady right away."
“No, we can just go in by ourselves.”
The two doormen looked at each other, opened the door and welcomed them in.
After the door closed again, people whispered, "Was I blind just now? The iron tree has blossomed!"
"You're not blind, I even saw them holding hands!"
"Really?"
"Of course it could be fake. I saw them loosen their grip from a distance. Didn't you see how red our young master's face was?"
“Young Master, you should have married a wife at your age. You are so pitiful being alone, without even a warm bed.
"Yes! I don't know whose family this girl is from. She's wearing a mask so I can't see her."
"Why are you panicking? Looking at them like this, I'm afraid something good is about to happen. I'll let you see enough then."
"Yes! Even your iron tree has blossomed, when will my destiny come?" the doorman sighed.
"Guard your door! It's still fate!"
……
"Mom, look who this is?" Li Jing's eyes sparkled, and his joy was evident at a glance.
Gu Niannian took off her handkerchief and called out crisply, "Auntie Li"
"Le'an? You are Le'an." Then he pulled Gu Niannian around.
"It's beautiful, really beautiful. My son has found a treasure. I was wondering why he had no interest in girls over the years. It turns out that his standards were too high. He was waiting for this fairy-like figure!"
"Auntie, the cakes outside are gone, I came in to get some more." Xie Zhiyao walked into the kitchen from outside and met Gu Niannian's smiling eyes.
Taking a step back, "What is this?"
"I'm Gu Niannian, the younger sister of Lord Gu Rujun," Gu Niannian introduced herself with a smile. She hadn't considered Xie Zhiyao an outsider, but the fewer people who knew about her disguised as a man to serve in her brother's government, the better.
Firstly, I was afraid of charging these people with the crime of knowing the truth but not reporting it, after all, it was not a trivial matter. Secondly, it was also for the safety of myself and my brother.
With a "bang", the plate in Xie Zhiyao's hand fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Gu Niannian asked anxiously.
"You and your brother look so much alike"
"How can we not look alike? We are twins," Gu Niannian replied
