Ruan Xiangxiang pushed him: "Stop making trouble, my name is Xiangxiang. If you don't call me Xiangxiang, what would you call me?"
Chu Munan was stunned, thinking that Ruan Dabao looked older and was her brother, so he could call her "sister".
But then I thought about it, and this title seemed very affectionate.
Finally, Chu Munan said in a muffled voice: "Call Miss Ruan."
"Miss Ruan?" Ruan Dabao looked incredulous: "She and I are from the same family. We grew up together. Wouldn't it be too unconventional to call her Miss Ruan?"
Chu Munan pressed the dagger lightly in his hand: "You can also choose never to call her."
"Don't, don't...can't you just call me?" Ruan Dabao was scared to death and cried out: "Miss Ruan."
Seeing that he had compromised, Chu Munan moved the dagger away, loosened his grip, and pushed Ruan Dabao out.
Ruan Dabao covered his neck and took several steps back. He didn't stop until he maintained a relatively safe distance from Chu Munan.
Ruan Xiangxiang shook her head helplessly, but she did not have a good impression of the Ruan family. If she hadn't been named Ruan in her previous life, she wouldn't even have the same surname as them.
"Miss Ruan, where are you going?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Ruan Xiangxiang said softly: "I also saved you, which can be regarded as repaying you for informing my mother last time. From now on, we are clear. You can go find your parents. No need to
follow us."
"That won't work." Ruan Dabao took two steps closer and said, "Third Aunt and San Bao are missing. I have to help find them."
He had heard clearly just now that Ruan Xiangxiang could redeem those people with a hundred catties of potatoes, and even the magistrate Mr. Li and the richly dressed young man had vouched for her.
It can be seen that she is now prosperous and has food in her hands.
In this case, of course he couldn't leave. He had to stay and hang out with her. Only in this way could he ensure that he would not starve to death.
As for his father and mother, it won’t be too late to honor them after he has settled down.
"No need!" Ruan Xiangxiang refused mercilessly: "I will find them myself without your help."
She doesn't want to have anything to do with the Ruan family anymore.
Ruan Dabao was about to follow, but was stopped in his tracks by a fierce look from Chu Munan.
Ruan Dabao really didn't have the guts to follow her. Thinking that Ruan Xiangxiang would come over after taking the potatoes, he decided to hide nearby and find a way to follow her later.
…
After Ruan Xiangxiang left, Mr. Zheng had someone make tea to entertain Li Huai and Chu Zichen.
But in his mind, Ruan Xiangxiang's big painted face kept swaying.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remembered it!"
Li Huai was drinking tea. He was so frightened by this that he almost choked on his tea.
"What are you doing?" Li Huai said unhappily.
Boss Zheng immediately came over and lowered his voice: "Master Li, that Miss Ruan just now..."
Chu Zichen, who was in the main seat, had a slightly cold look in his eyes. These two guys dared to whisper in front of him.
Li Huai was very aware of current affairs and interrupted with a frown: "Boss Zheng, Mr. Chen is here. If you have anything to say, just say it loudly. There is nothing I can't say to Mr. Chen."
Boss Zheng apologized profusely. He leaned forward slightly and raised his voice slightly.
"I know that Miss Ruan just now. Just last time, when I went to Cao's Inn, she said that she was the distant cousin of Shopkeeper Cao.
At that time, she painted her face very dark, so I didn’t recognize her just now. It wasn’t until she accidentally stained her face that I remembered her.”
