"What's the use of remembering?" Mr. Zhao half-smiled: "I'm a businessman. I don't do business at a loss. I'm not as kind as you said. I won't do anything to help others for free."
As he spoke, he stood up and approached.
You Shuanghan was scared, but she still held on and did not retreat. She made some mental calculations and determined that neither of the two men could marry her. After she had no way out, she mustered up the courage to raise her head: "Then, after following you, I
Will you still be bullied?"
"Of course not." Mr. Zhao chuckled: "As for the Luo family, they have to be polite and behave in front of me. I will ask them to apologize to you later."
As he said that, he already reached out and took the person into his arms.
You Shuanghan's whole body was stiff, but he didn't push the person away.
That night, You Shuanghan did not go home.
Chu Yunli heard about You Shuanghan's relationship with another man the next day.
It wasn't that she was deliberately looking for someone to stare at her, but someone handed the words to Jiang Fali, saying that Mr. Zhao wanted to invite the couple to dinner.
"You Shuanghan followed him?"
Jiang Fali rubbed his eyebrows: "Yes, Mr. Zhao has a large amount of materials on hand, all of which are new products from the capital. As soon as the news came out, many regular customers are already asking, and you can make a profit as soon as you get it and change hands.
A lot of money. So, let’s go there. It’s all in the past anyway, so there’s no need to struggle with the money.”
Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully: "Will the Luo family go?"
"It seems that they are together." Jiang Fali was not sure: "I heard that the room reserved is the largest room in Xinyue Building."
At this point, he explained: "That house can accommodate forty or fifty people at the same time. Once the house is opened, it will cost at least several hundred taels."
Chu Yunli was curious: "Then who pays for this dinner?"
Jiang Fali was helpless: "It should be us and the Luo family."
If you want to make that money, you have to go here.
Lin Miaoqi never interfered in business matters. She just did what Jiang Fali told her to do.
Chu Yunli revealed that she was resistant to this, but Jiang Fali had no intention of coaxing him and found a reason to hide.
When the appointed day came, Jiang Fali went back to his room the first night, probably because he was afraid that his wife would not be happy with it. When he got up the next day, he reminded him specifically: "Remember to go out for a banquet today. I will send someone to pick you up later."
Chu Yunli agreed casually.
Jiang Fali advised: "I know you are unhappy, but people have ups and downs in their lives, and they cannot always be in high places. You Shuanghan is proud now, but she will not be proud for long. Then we will settle the score with her."
In fact, the Jiang family never deliberately made things difficult for anyone. Even if they were deceived by You Shuanghan, they never made trouble for the You family. The words about looking for someone to blame were just casual remarks.
"I know." Chu Yunli responded.
Jiang Fali looked at her back and hesitated to speak. The couple had treated each other with respect for many years, and in recent years they had rarely consummated their marriages. Even if he came back at night, he would just sleep. It was the same recently... But Jiang Fali just felt that his wife's treatment
Although my attitude is the same as before, there is something different. It seems that I am not as close as before.
However, both of them are almost old enough to have grandchildren, so it is not appropriate for them to be together any longer.
In the afternoon, Jiang Fali made a special trip back. On the way there, he tentatively asked her to be patient.
Chu Yunli asked curiously: "Has the Luo family arrived?"
"We're here." Jiang Fali said in a mocking tone: "They are bound to get this batch of materials, so of course they can run fast."
Chu Yunli glanced at him.
Jiang Fali touched his nose: "If I hadn't come back to pick you up, I would have been there too." He didn't think there was anything wrong and said plausibly: "Business is to make money. If you get benefits, you should run faster. Luo and I should
I met the master briefly before, and today’s expenses are half of each person’s, and the materials are also half of each person’s.”
The two entered the Crescent Building and were immediately taken upstairs. The Luo family was already sitting in the room. Just looking at the different expressions of the family, Chu Yunli felt that they were right.
Mr. Zhao sat at the main seat, and You Shuanghan, dressed in fine clothes, sat beside him. They were eating snacks. When they saw Chu Yunli coming in, she smiled and said, "I thought Mrs. Jiang wasn't coming."
"There are delicious food and good shows here. How can I be missing?" Chu Yunli smiled brightly: "I haven't congratulated Mr. Zhao on getting another beautiful woman."
Mrs. Luo felt unhappy and answered at this moment: "They say Mr. Zhao is kind. The girl who accompanied Mr. Zhao a few days ago has now returned to her hometown with money. Everyone in the city knows that as long as you follow Mr. Zhao,
, there must be a lot of benefits to be gained. Miss You, you have good taste, and the men you choose will love each other more than the last."
She did it on purpose.
You Shuanghan's face was distorted for a moment, but he restrained himself and looked at the man beside him with a smile: "Qing Lang?"
Mr. Zhao came back to his senses and picked up a glass of wine: "I just learned that there are some grievances between you and your family. Shuanghan is a weak woman who can't help herself, and she didn't mean to go against you. Today, I'm asking you to do something big.
Let me help you clarify the misunderstanding and don't make things difficult for each other in the future." He stretched out his hand and took You Shuanghan into his arms: "You are not an outsider, so you just treat me as a favor and take more care of Shuanghan in the future."
Mrs. Luo's face turned dark.
They were asking for help from Mr. Zhao, and everyone said so. No matter how much they annoyed the You family, they had to put it down temporarily before Mr. Zhao got tired of it. She forced a smile, picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all.
As a man, Mr. Luo didn't care about these trivial details, and he was mentally prepared before coming. After hearing this, he exchanged a few words, smiled and drank wine.
Compared with the two of them being cheerful, Luo Nanhua was much more entangled. He had already peeked at You Shuanghan many times since Chu Yunli entered the door, and he was still distracted at this time.
Chu Yunli stood up: "The misunderstanding between our family and Miss You is actually over, and I had forgotten about it. If Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, he can ask Miss You when I targeted her...
"
You Shuanghan lowered his eyes. Lin Miaoqi was not targeting her now. He had disrupted her good life several times before, and her methods were very clever.
Jiang Fali also answered: "We were originally a family, but unfortunately we were destined to be different." He reminded: "The Jiang family and the You family have been friends for several years. During this period, we have always treated each other with courtesy and sent many things. Later,
Even after we had a falling out, we didn't ask for it back. Even if we didn't have this drink today, the Jiang family didn't intend to embarrass the You family."
This is a fact. Jiang Peilin wanted to marry a beautiful woman and did not mention the things he gave. However, the Jiang family agreed to a generous betrothal gift after the wedding, as well as gifts that were not small in amount during the New Year and festivals. They did not mention it later.
Listening to their conversation, You Shuanghan felt like an unreasonable person, as if she was the only one who cared about the grudges between the families from beginning to end.
Mr. Zhao didn't care whether they really didn't care or whether they were obedient for his sake, as long as the goal was achieved. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to You Shuanghan: "Go and have a drink with them. After a glass of wine, the past grudges will be resolved."
Write it off and let no one mention it again."
You Shuanghan got up and arrived at the Jiang family first. Everything went smoothly.
The same goes for Mr. Luo. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he always has a smile on his face and drinks without any reluctance. Mrs. Luo originally convinced herself, but when she saw her son lost his mind, You Shuanghan acted like a normal person and couldn't swallow anything.
At this moment, when You Shuanghan arrived, she held a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I can't bear to drink. I drank a lot just now. This is the last glass. Miss You, don't think I'm disappointing. We have a long time to come. One day Mr. Zhao will officially raise his hand."
You come through the door and I will come back to congratulate you!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on You Shuanghan's face was almost unbearable.
Everyone sitting here is fairly familiar with Mr. Zhao and knows a little bit about his family. Everyone knows that even if You Shuanghan follows him, no matter how favored he is, it is unlikely that he will follow him back home to get a status.
After all, You Shuanghan was just something Mr. Zhao used to entertain himself when he was doing business here.
Mrs. Luo reminded this fact several times today. It's surprising that You Shuanghan's face looks good.
Mrs. Luo probably also knew that she had offended people. After saying this, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then she tipped the wine glass upside down to show her sincerity in drinking. Then she pretended to be too drunk and leaned on the chair to faint.
sleep.
In this way, You Shuanghan couldn't argue even if she wanted to. Her eyes fell on Luo Nanhua, who had not yet drank.
"I heard that Young Master Luo is about to get engaged. Why is Young Master not happy about this happy event?"
Luo Nanhua felt bitter in his heart. He had already discovered before that if he wanted to help her, he must not reveal too much in front of her man. It was best not to show up. Therefore, even if he had a thousand words to say at this time,
In the end, it just turned into a sigh: "Miss You, have a drink."
He finished the glass, then poured it on his own and continued drinking.
You Shuanghan's face was complicated. Behind him, Mr. Zhao was already shouting: "Shuanghan, since we have had a round of drinking, there is no misunderstanding. You don't have to worry about anyone making things difficult for you in the future. Come back and sit down."
When You Shuanghan turned around, a happy smile already appeared on his face.
She strolled over and was pulled into Mr. Zhao's arms before she even got close.
You Shuanghan could hardly control the expression on his face. The two gentlemen, Luo and Jiang, would never pinch or hug their wives in front of others. Mr. Zhao did not respect her at all.
Mrs. Luo quietly pulled a few handfuls of her son, who was only focused on drinking, to let him take a closer look. Apart from being a little aggrieved at today's drinking party, she actually breathed a sigh of relief. You Shuanghan didn't get married for a day, and her son has been
Thinking about it, now that You Shuanghan has found a man that the Luo family can't afford to offend, his son should finally let go.
Everything went smoothly after that. Chu Yunli didn't say much. Most of the time, Luo and Jiang told Mr. Zhao interesting things about the city, and they were full of flattery.
The conversation there was lively, and Chu Yunli ate seriously. Not to mention, the food in Xinyuelou was expensive. The food was already slightly cold, but it tasted pretty good. Suddenly she noticed someone beside her, and she saw it as soon as she raised her head.
You Shuanghan is holding snacks.
"Mrs. Jiang, this snack is good, do you want to try it?"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "I am no longer your mother-in-law, so you don't have to put me first."
Hearing this, You Shuanghan's face turned dark.
She didn't come here just to please Lin Miaoqi!
"Mrs. Jiang, are you surprised to see me today?" You Shuanghan sat next to her and whispered: "You have forced me to be where I am today. I will never forget all this."
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "You want to thank me?"
You Shuanghan was speechless. Her tone just now was not good, and her words were full of hatred. Is Lin Miaoqi deaf or blind?
"Not thank you."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I have done countless good deeds in my life, and I have helped more than just you. You don't need to keep it in mind."
You Shuanghan was almost angry to death.
"My dear wife, you forced me to live with a man who is the same age as my father, and I don't even have a status. Which of your eyes can see that I want to thank you?"
"So you hate me." Chu Yunli suddenly realized, and then waved his hand: "You lied to my son, even if you hate me, I will admit it. I am not afraid of you being angry, because I am more angry than you!"
"I didn't lie to him. If you hadn't interfered with it, our husband and wife would have been fine." Even though it has been a long time, You Shuanghan still feels unwilling to think about it. It was the closest she had ever been to wealth, and she was already within reach.
. If it weren’t for the woman in front of her, she wouldn’t have to deal with Israel!
Even though she was enjoying great fame now, the Luo family was polite to her, but she knew in her heart that that family looked down upon her at all.
"Jiang Peilin is my son." Chu Yunli emphasized: "I am his mother. I worked hard to give birth to him and taught him to grow up. I wish I could give him all the good things in the world. Get a wife.
Shi also wants to choose the best girl in the world for him, do you think you are good?"
You Shuanghan was speechless.
Nowadays, a woman who has a lifelong private contract with a man is definitely not considered a good person. No matter how shameless she is, she is embarrassed to praise herself like this. She immediately forced herself to ask: "Who hasn't gotten over it yet? You don't have a sweetheart when you get married?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "You don't think you are at fault, it's because you are thick-skinned, I am not yours, I am too lazy to teach you how to be a good person." She stood up, held the wine glass and saluted Mr. Zhao: "Miss You talks more.
, I don’t know how to deal with it, Mr. Zhao should take her there. The main reason is that I can’t speak. If I offend Miss You again, I have to apologize next time.”
Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Shuanghan, come here!"
You Shuanghan stood up and explained: "I didn't say anything."
"Yes, you just blame me for disturbing the good things between you and my son." Chu Yunli didn't hide anything: "She was filled with resentment both inside and outside her words, and she obviously hasn't let go of the past. Mr. Zhao, no matter how much you feel sorry for the beauty,
Don't let her affect the business between our two families."
You Shuanghan chuckled and said proudly: "Mrs. Jiang thinks too much."
When the business was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn. Mr. Luo, a businessman, answered with a smile: "I happen to be here today, why don't we just make an agreement and pay a deposit to finalize the matter?"
Jiang Fali said, "That's right. I've brought all the banknotes. If Mr. Zhao has no objection, I'll have someone send me pen, ink, paper and inkstone right away."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao felt a little embarrassed and took a sip from his wine glass.
Luo and Jiang realized something was wrong and stared at him intently, as if they needed an explanation.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid this problem, Mr. Zhao had to put down his cup: "To be honest, I have already handed over the goods this time. However, the days are long. I will escort another batch over in two months at most. Then we will meet again.
Let’s talk. If you are willing to order the goods in two months’ time, you can put it down in black and white now…”
Jiang Fali's face was not very good. Businessmen can bend and stretch, but no one wants to bend. Today he came here and fell into the eyes of outsiders. In fact, he was a little worried about his face. After all, You Shuanghan had sorry for the Jiang family first. He had to care about it and face this.
The woman who deceived her son was deceitful. In the final analysis, it was all for this business.
As a result, Master Zhao now tells him that he has lost face and lost his money!
On the other side, Mr. Luo had the same idea. Compared to the Jiang family, the couple hated You Shuanghan deeply.
Even though Jiang Peilin married someone into the family, he was decisive enough. When he found something was wrong, he got out in time and broke it off as soon as he said it. He was very straightforward. Maybe he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he ran away to avoid it. But Luo Nanhua was different. In a few years,
He has always been unable to let go of his feelings for You Shuanghan. Even though You Shuanghan has married into a woman, he still thinks about her in every way, and he is still not sure about getting married... Even so, Mr. Luo is willing to let go of the past feud with You Shuanghan for the benefit he is about to get.
But after suffering the grievance, the benefits were gone. If he hadn't still had some sense, Mr. Luo would have almost flipped the table in anger.
Mrs. Luo's expression changed on the spot, she stood up and asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you mean we don't have a share in this batch of goods?"
Mr. Zhao also knew that he was not kind, so he smiled sheepishly: "The batch will be distributed to you in two months."
Mrs. Luo: "..."
Things change day by day, and who knows what will happen in two months?
Apart from anything else, with the speed of the replacement of people around Mr. Zhao, You Shuanghan no longer knows where he will be thrown into after two months. If it is for the batch of goods two months later, the Luo family does not need to be so humble.
Her chest heaved with anger, but Master Zhao still had goods to deliver, so she couldn't get angry at him for a while.
Jiang Fali had the same idea, his face was extremely ugly, but he endured it. Chu Yunli tugged on his sleeve: "Master, let's go!"
Hearing this, Jiang Fali frowned.
Chu Yunli reminded: "Mr. Zhao clearly knew why we came today, but he still gave the goods to others before meeting. This approach is not honest in any way. Everything has one and two, and he didn't do it this time
Frankly, maybe it will be the same next time."
The sound was neither high nor low, and it just fell into the ears of everyone in the room.
Jiang Fali was still thinking about the batch of goods two months later and scolded: "We can talk about the next batch!"
Chu Yunli smiled: "He is still here. Who knows if there will be another batch? Are you willing to give a deposit without seeing the goods?" Aren't you afraid that this person will never come back?
Since the goods are not there, it is naturally impossible to give money.
Jiang Fali whispered: "Then there's no need to leave now." He's already here, his head has been lowered, there's no need to offend anyone anymore.
"I'm full." Chu Yunli stood up with a smile: "It's a rare trip. I brought some banknotes today. It's my father's birthday early next month. I plan to go around and prepare gifts."
These words reminded Jiang Fali that he and Mr. Luo had already agreed in advance, and the two of them shared today's expenses equally... In the final analysis, the wool comes from the sheep. After the deal was concluded, today's expenses were only the profits.
a small part of.
But if the business fails and they still have to pay the bills, no matter how you look at it, they both look like they are being taken advantage of.
In business, if you don't make money, you lose money. There is no reason to treat people to dinner for nothing.
Moreover, what Master Zhao did was really irritating. Jiang Fali gritted his teeth and stood up. He planned not to do this business, and at worst, he would never deal with Master Zhao again. If the east is not bright, the west is bright, and if you keep your capital, you can always make money.
Come.
Jiang Fali was about to leave, and Mr. Luo was a little panicked. The cost of this trip was quite a lot, and if someone shared half of it, he could barely bear the other half. If he was asked to pay for it all, he would have to think carefully... If the business failed, he thought he would not be able to pay.
rise.
"Mr. Jiang, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to tell you."
The two of them chased each other out of the house without mentioning the payment of the bill. The remaining Mr. Zhao looked particularly ugly: "Mrs. Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
"He's busy." Chu Yunli smiled: "Actually, I don't know what the master does every day. He didn't tell me where he was going when he left. Then... Master Zhao can do it himself."
She walked to the door, then turned back and said: "Miss You, if you decide on a wedding day, please tell me. Judging from the relationship between you and my son for several years, I must send you a congratulatory gift.
"
On the other side, Mrs. Luo also smiled and chatted: "Speaking of it, Miss You and my son have a deeper relationship. Mrs. Chiang wants to send gifts, so I should give them." She looked at Mr. Zhao: "Miss You is thin-skinned.
, Mr. Zhao, please remember to inform us."
Mr. Zhao's face turned gloomy. He didn't know whether it was because no one paid the bill, or because he heard about You Shuanghan's entanglement with the two men.
No matter how stupid you are, You Shuanghan can see it. If the Luo and Jiang families were still willing to support Mr. Zhao at the beginning and even apologize for him giving her a little girl from an ordinary background. Now the two of them have changed their minds and are unwilling to compromise.
...The grudges between the families have not been resolved, and they will still embarrass Youjia in the future.
She shook the man's sleeve and asked pitifully: "Qinglang, what should I do?"
Mr. Zhao slapped the table: "You don't know how to flatter me! Don't worry, they don't dare to embarrass you! Unless they don't want to do business!"
You Shuanghan lowered his eyes: "It was fine when you were here, but what should I do when you go home?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at her and emphasized: "Don't have any illusions as soon as possible, I won't take you with me."
