Chapter 157: There’s Such A Good Thing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and put away her businessman’s face. She returned to being a harmless little lolita. “I’d like to hear the details.”
Mrs. Shen said, “My surname is Li, and 1 come from the Li Family of Jiangnan. The previous head of the family was my father, and the current head of the family is my nephew. I’m his father’s elder sister. These are not important. What’s important is that the Li Family has a family rule —daughters who are married are not allowed to interfere with their maternal family’s shops.”
“Since you’ve worked with the Fragrance Restaurant for so long, you should know that it’s the Li Family’s shop. I can’t get involved in this business, let alone snatch its business away. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the family rules. If it’s serious, I’ll be kicked out of the genealogy.”
So exaggerated? Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment before she asked in an innocent tone, “What if I don’t work with the Fragrance Restaurant anymore? Moreover, they took the initiative to suggest it.”
Mrs. Shen was puzzled for a while and asked uncertainly, “There’s such a good thing?”
Even she could see Ning Xiaoxiao’s value. She didn’t believe that her smart nephew would make such a mistake. Wait, I think he went to find a miracle doctor for Mother and hasn’t returned yet? Big Brother doesn’t like to take care of things, so the one in charge is Big Sister-in-law now?
Seeing that she had started to think, Xiaoxiao saw that it was getting late and stood up to bid farewell. “Madam, you can consider it. My brothers and I will go back first.”
Shen Tianci still had to send the guests off, so only the siblings were in the carriage home.
Ning Erlang patted and touched everything, his face filled with envy.
“When can we afford a carriage too?”
Xiaoxiao patted his head. “Actually, it’s not very difficult.”
Ning Erlang felt that his sister was arrogant. “With my small street stall, even if 1 don’t eat or drink for the rest of my life, how many horse manes can I buy?”
Xiaoxiao felt that her brother was too humble. “Second Brother, have you ever thought that you might not have to set up a stall all the time?”
Ning Erlang retorted instinctively, “Then what else can 1 do? Be a shopkeeper?”
Xiaoxiao’s smile was gentle and virtuous, making her second brother smile. His sister’s expression made him even more uneasy than when she was fooling him!
“Sister, why don’t you tell Brother first? What do you want?”
Xiaoxiao snorted. “Nothing much. I’m just unhappy and want to make a scene.”
Ning Dalang knocked her head in amusement. “Looking at how magnanimous you are today, I thought you didn’t care.”
Xiaoxiao pouted. “I was pretending.” There were so many people watching. Wouldn’t the angrier I acted, the happier the instigator would be?
In fact, she was very angry. She was angry at lie Ruhuan for causing trouble again and again. She was angry at her for deciding for Fragrance Restaurant and cutting off its cooperation with her family. She was angry at her for causing trouble and getting someone to propose to take her as his concubine.
Ning Dalang rubbed the small bun tied to his sister’s head. “No matter what you want to do, I’ll accompany you.”
Ning Erlang hurriedly expressed his determination. “There’s still me, there’s still me!” Don’t just see how good Big Brother is.
Xiaoxiao’s anger disappeared because of her brothers’ pampering.
She understood that she had to lower her head when she was under someone else’s roof, but she wouldn’t be a bun.
After returning home, the siblings did not want their parents to worry, so they only talked about happy things. However, the atmosphere in the Shen Residence was not so peaceful.
Shen Tianci could not understand the seriousness on his parents’ faces. Fie looked here and there.
Mrs. Shen caught the confused look in his eyes. “Tianci, what did you gain from today’s incident?”
Shen Tianci was most afraid of such a speech that seemed to make him summarize for a day. He stammered and could not speak. Mrs. Shen sighed and asked bluntly, “Why do you think Ning Xiaoxiao and the rest were targeted?”
Shen Tianci said loudly, “Wang Min, that bastard, wants to eat swan meat!”
