When the child landed over there, Chu Yunli learned the news.
Gao Youan asked tentatively, "Mom, shall we go?"
"No!" Chu Yunli didn't even raise her head. Her first wife gave birth to a child from a later woman, He Washan, and they were embarrassed!
Thinking of something, Chu Yunli looked at the child in front of her and said, "You are old, and you are not an ignorant child. I won't stop you from meeting your father, but your father...all your fifth aunt's cousins are him.
My child will marry me because my dowry is more than that of your fifth aunt. Don’t worry about how good he was before, but the facts are in front of you, and you have to know it yourself."
Gao Youan was surprised at first, and then smiled bitterly, "What kind of meeting? In his eyes, my sister and I are strangers. He has never come to see us, and there is no need for us to be warm to each other."
In the past, Gao Mingzhe was very good at life, and he cared about his two children, especially Gao Youan, who had a deep affection for his father.
But in the past year, Gao Mingzhe has never come back, and he even has a wife and children. It is a big blow to Gao Youan. Now I heard that his father, who was devoted to his mother, had been sloppy with others before they got married.
He became more and more disappointed.
Chu Yunli didn't go, but Luo Qiaoqiao did. As the owner of the tea shop opposite the Gao family.
When I went there, I dressed up specially. The clothes and materials were all the latest styles this year, and I brought the best jewelry. My whole body cost dozens of taels of silver.
A small courtyard in the outer city is only about this price.
The neighbors around the Gao family are not wealthy people, and the Gao family, who wears silk clothes, is considered wealthy among them. If Luo Qiaoqiao goes in like this, it is the first time that she is wealthy, and many people dare not come to say hello.
Because of this, Gao's mother treated her like a distinguished guest, stayed with her from beginning to end, let her look after the child, and said that she would have more contact with her in the future.
At that time, Fang Nianqiao felt scared when she saw Gao's mother bringing the child to Luo Qiaoqiao. But she didn't dare to speak, so she took a moment and stepped forward, "Mom, the child is still young, I will take him back."
Bar."
Gao Mu really loved her grandson and agreed, "That's fine."
When Fang Nianqiao reached out to hug the child, she noticed Luo Qiao's cool gaze beside her. But she had no choice but to hug her child.
"I knew the night you gave birth to the baby, and I said I might need help. But I didn't see you open the door all night, and then I heard the baby crying." Luo Qiaoqiao looked curious, "Does your family have a Wen Po?
?”
Gao Mu really wanted to get in touch with this young wealthy lady, and there was nothing better than entrusting her with secrets to close the relationship. She lowered her voice and said, "Perhaps you have heard some things about our family. This stable lady
We didn't find her here, but the old craftsman whom the child's father brought from the countryside. My son's previous wife was from a good family background. When we divorced, she took all the money in the family with her. We were afraid that she would not be willing to accept it.
When she was giving birth, she tried to bribe Wenpo... My son said that if she didn't have this intention, she would be a villain among us. When it comes to children, villains are just villains. As long as they can be safe, don't you think so?
Is this the reason?"
Luo Qiaoqiao was curious, "Is this what your son means?"
She looked gentle, spoke softly to Gao Mu, and was respectful both inside and outside her words. Gao Mu felt more and more comforted, and vaguely felt like she was still in Gao's house. Her attitude became more kind, and she smiled, "
My eldest son is very knowledgeable in everything he does, and he also finds the people he thinks of."
Luo Qiaoqiao glanced at Fang Nianqiao, who was almost walking away together, and said suddenly, "I thought it was your daughter-in-law's idea. After all, only women can have such delicate thoughts."
The listener was interested. Gao Mu thought this was quite reasonable and frowned immediately.
But she didn't take it too seriously. In short, the safe birth of her grandson made her happier than anything else. Whose idea did it matter?
Just at this moment, Manager Chen from the soy sauce shop opposite came in from the door with a smile, and Gao Mingzhe accompanied him, complimenting each other.
Luo Qiaoqiao straightened her back immediately, raised her chin slightly, and turned the most beautiful side of her face to the door, her palms so nervous that they became sweaty.
The two people at the door raised their eyes and saw Gao Mu and Luo Qiaoqiao under the eaves.
Manager Chen smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about me, sir, just go and do your own business."
It was true that there were other guests who needed to be received by Gao Mingzhe, so he left after being polite and just glanced at Luo Qiaoqiao.
Just this glance made Luo Qiaoqiao's cheeks blush.
No matter how much Gao Mu wanted to get involved with this woman who seemed to be a wealthy lady, she couldn't stay with her for too long and ignore the other guests. Someone happened to greet her and she left.
Luo Qiaoqiao looked at Manager Chen at the door, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
Manager Chen couldn't see the difference, so he stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Mrs. Chen!"
This is intentional.
Everyone who is close to Luo Qiaoqiao knows that after the divorce, she hated being called madam and everyone around her called her girl. Manager Chen even added her surname, which made Luo Qiaoqiao immediately angry.
He couldn't stop, but he was worried that in the Gao family, he couldn't get angry casually, so he said coldly, "What are you doing here? Could it be that your boss actually came to congratulate the Gao family on the birth of their child?"
Manager Chen smiled and said, "My boss is busy with affairs, so he can't take care of this. I came to congratulate the Gao family myself."
This is normal. The business of the soy sauce shop opposite is so good that it is unlikely to close within a year or two. Manager Chen lives there and is considered a neighbor to the Gao family. It would be rude not to come.
Luo Qiaoqiao didn't believe it, "Your boss won't be angry when he learns about the happy event here?"
"How can I dare to speculate on my boss's thoughts?" Manager Chen looked puzzled. "However, Mrs. Chen actually thinks highly of the Gao family and came to congratulate her personally. I am quite surprised." He looked at the lively people over there and said,
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't Mrs. Chen feel upset about such a happy event?"
The tone was meaningful, and Luo Qiaoqiao's face immediately turned ugly.
She was a married woman, and although she didn't regret the things she did, she really couldn't stand the discussion of outsiders. Manager Chen's tone seemed to indicate that he knew the inside story... For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed and even more angry.
, throw up your sleeves and leave.
Just at this time, Gao Mingzhe welcomed a man in a silk shirt. They were talking and laughing. The man who came was a man doing business with the Gao family.
Luo Qiaoqiao immediately suppressed the anger on her face and stood aside to give way.
Gao Mingzhe saw her looking like she was about to leave, and immediately wondered, "Madam, is she leaving now?"
Hearing the word "Madam", Luo Qiaoqiao's heart felt like needles pricking her heart. She was a little happy when she heard that he was trying to stay. It was complicated and hard to describe, but she already said, "I still have some things to do, so I have to go back first."
Gao Mingzhe smiled and exchanged greetings with the man next to him, watched him go in, and then smiled and said, "Then I'll see you off."
When Manager Chen saw this, he chased after him with a smile, "I still have something to do, so I'll see you off too."
Luo Qiaoqiao: "..."
She really suspected that this person was deliberately brought by Luo Zhiniang to antagonize her.
Gao Mingzhe did not doubt that he was there and said with a smile, "Of course."
The three of them went out together. Luo Qiaoqiao felt a little sweet and a little sad for a while, and was very upset with all kinds of emotions.
They all arrived at the door, but Luo Qiaoqiao couldn't bear to leave, and suddenly said, "After I left, I still have some idle money in my hands, but I don't know what business to do? I heard that you made a lot of money in the past, but I don't know what you have.
Opinion?"
Manager Chen's eyes flashed and he looked at Gao Mingzhe with a smile.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Gao Mingzhe was a little surprised, "Madam, are you divorced?" He felt rude and said hurriedly, "There are people doing business. If you want to make money in this city, there is no better way than to do the Luo family's business. If you can do it with
If you get porcelain at a cheap price, you will definitely make a lot of money."
He heard these things from his two younger brothers. In the past, the Gao family was made of porcelain in his hands.
Luo Qiaoqiao's smile was a little stiff. Not everyone in the Luo family could interfere with the porcelain. The head of the Luo family would choose a few people to help, most of whom were his direct brothers. Although she was from the direct branch, her father was a dandy.
There are a lot of concubines in the family, and she is considered the least valued girl among the direct lineage. Porcelain... Picking out a few exquisite pieces and bringing them back is enough for use. It would be a dream to get involved in the porcelain business.
Gao Mingzhe didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, shook his head and said with a smile, "But not everyone can do the Luo family's business. If there are masters with old skills in making ready-made clothes and jewelry, and the wives of rich families in the city are willing to buy it, this business is not bad. As long as you invest in it,
It’s very big and requires at least nearly a hundred taels of silver.”
Manager Chen had been standing aside and listening, and now he interrupted, "Uncle Gao doesn't know something. A hundred taels of silver is very difficult for others. But Miss Yu Luo is just doing it smoothly."
"Luo?" Gao Mingzhe was a little surprised.
Luo Qiaoqiao was a little nervous and forced a smile, "We have met before, but my sister didn't interact with me much after she got married, so we became more and more distant. Later, you and I moved to the outer city to relax. Unexpectedly,
I happen to live across the street from you..."
Her voice was gentle, her cheeks were slightly red as she said this, she bit her lip and looked at Manager Chen.
Manager Chen did not feel that he was redundant and stood aside with no intention of leaving.
Luo Qiaoqiao wanted to kick him out, but she couldn't drive him away. She couldn't miss the opportunity. She gritted her teeth and said, "To be honest, although my surname is Luo, I am not good at business. I want to be with you."
If we do business together, I will contribute the money and you will contribute the effort, and we will make a profit... we can discuss this!"
Gao Mingzhe didn't expect such a good thing, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Seriously?"
Luo Qiaoqiao felt sweet in her heart when she saw his eyes that suddenly lit up with expectation, and said with a smile, "Of course it's true."
