She was obviously fine when she went out, so why did she look like this when she came back? And why didn't Mr. Zhang accompany her back? Even if something suddenly happened, you could find someone to take the young lady back.
Liu'er had a bad guess. Could it be that her and Xiaotong's previous ideas were wrong? In fact, Mr. Zhang had no intention of proposing marriage to the young lady?
But that's not right. His behavior these days has made it obvious that he is interested in the young lady, so he encouraged the young lady to go out with Mr. Zhang more often and talk alone.
Could it be that Zhang Qing was just playing with the young lady's feelings and had no intention of taking any responsibility? Liu Er was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. If so, she would definitely not be able to spare this liar.
"Miss, are you okay? What happened?" Liu Er worriedly walked over and helped Wen Shaoxue up. Things must not be what she thought.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that someone seemed to be following me when I came back." Wen Shaoxue was still frightened when she recalled the situation just now.
"What?" Liu'er's eyes widened in surprise: "How could this happen? Why are they following you? Where is Mr. Zhang? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Wen Shaoxue shook his head: "Don't mention him again in the future. There is no relationship between us in the first place. He has no obligation to send me back. I have made everything clear to him today. If you see him in the future, you will act like normal."
Just treat them the same.”
Liu'er originally wanted to ask again, but she saw that the young lady's face was really bad, so she gave up.
Xiaotong didn't have much hope for the two of them. He was more concerned about the shopkeeper being followed on his way back.
Liu'er helped Wen Shaoxue into the inner room and sat down on the couch. Xiaotong poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.
Wen Shaoxue took the cup and drank the water in one breath. Xiaotong quickly poured another cup for her. Her knuckles holding the cup were still turning white.
After all, she is still a young girl. Even if she deals with danger very calmly, she is still very frightened about this matter in her heart.
After Wen Shaoxue calmed down, he told the whole story to the two of them. Liu Er really wanted to die when she heard that her young lady asked to be Mr. Zhang's matchmaker.
Xiaotong listened to the whole story calmly. He was as confused as Wen Shaoxue. They were not rich and powerful people, they were just small businessmen at best. Who wanted to have trouble with them?
Wen Shaoxue looked at Liu'er and expressed her suspicion: "Liu'er, tell me, could it be related to Mr. Lin?"
Liu'er's mouth opened in surprise, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. There was no news about Mr. Lin in the capital. Mr. Lin also personally told them that they were going to Nanjing and would definitely not come back in a short time.
.
But if it weren't for Mr. Lin, for what reason would ordinary people like them be targeted by others?
"Maybe it's because of that Zhang Qing." Wen Xiaotong suddenly interrupted.
"Master Zhang?"
Wen Shaoxue and Liu Er questioned in unison, how could it be because of Mr. Zhang?
"I have long felt that his identity must not be simple, but now it seems that his identity may be more complicated than I imagined." Wen Xiaotong said in a heavy tone.
"Maybe the reason why they followed you today is because you two went out alone. Maybe someone followed you every time you went out, but it was just because he didn't show up."
Wen Shaoxue's eyes widened in disbelief: "No way? Xiaotong, do you have any basis for saying this?"
Wen Xiaotong shook his head: "No, it's just intuition. From the moment Sister Liu'er told me how you met, I felt that he had ulterior motives. But after getting along for so long, it seems that he has no ulterior motives.
He is a bad person, and he has never done anything harmful to you."
Therefore, he is not sure what he originally thought. Perhaps it is because he has seen so many sinister people in his heart that he is always used to using malicious intentions to speculate on others.
It is possible that Zhang Qing simply had a good impression of the shopkeeper. As for their acquaintance, perhaps it was just an accident.
But can what happened today be explained by chance? Why was Wen Shaoxue, who had always been doing business honestly, being targeted by others? Apart from Zhang Qing who suddenly appeared, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
"I don't think this matter has anything to do with him. Maybe the gangster on the roadside saw me as a woman walking alone, so he targeted me and wanted to rob me for some money. In short, let him let this matter go.
Well, you should still do what you should do from now on, and don’t worry too much about this matter."
Although Wen Shaoxue was grumbling in her heart because of this matter, she was the shopkeeper here, and she couldn't let Liu'er and Xiaotong live in worry and fear every day.
So she acted as if she didn't care about this matter, and secretly encouraged herself in her heart. Wen Shaoxue, Mr. Lin is still waiting for you to help him when he comes back. How can you?
Are you holding back because of these little things?
Taking a deep breath, she showed her usual smile: "Okay, let's open the door and continue doing business."
Liu'er was still very worried as she looked at the young lady's back as she walked out: "Xiaotong, I'm very worried about young lady. Is Mr. Zhang bad? I think he and young lady are a good match."
Xiaotong was helpless: "It's up to the shopkeeper to decide whether it's good or not. What do you think is the use of a good match? It's up to the shopkeeper to think it's a good match."
Liu'er glared at him with disdain: "You are still a little kid yourself. What do you know? The important thing in my life is the important thing in my life. The master and his wife are gone. If I don't worry about the young lady, who will worry about her?
!”
Xiaotong shrugged: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to continue worrying about the shopkeeper. However, for someone like Mr. Zhang who can get into trouble, I suggest it's better to look for less people next time."
Liu Er glared at him: "What do you mean? Stop talking nonsense without evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that this matter is related to Mr. Zhang? I just think that he is a good match for the young lady."
"Okay, okay, everything Sister Liu'er said is right. They are a perfect match. They are a match made in heaven. Go out and sell things quickly. Didn't you see the guests?" After Xiaotong finished speaking, she didn't wait for Liu'er.
He retorted and slipped out first, leaving Liu'er standing there with eyes wide open and angrily.
