Zhu Bocheng didn't expect Zhenbai to take the initiative to ask him if his wife would agree to go back home with him. Who was Zhenbai?
The two had grown up together. This kid was very domineering and decisive. He was the type to do big things, but not the type to fall in love. In the past, Zhu Bocheng couldn't even imagine this kid falling in love, and even if he did, it would be with a gentle, virtuous, and obedient woman; only such a woman could stand Zhenbai's character.
But he never thought that after this kid fell in love with Sister Shuyan, his personality would change so drastically. Tsk, tsk, his cousin's skills at attracting a match were pretty good. One of these days, he would have to ask her about it.
He didn't dare voice his thoughts, however. Zhu Bocheng calmly a.n.a.lyzed for Zhenbai, “I don't think I'm the one you should be asking, but your wife. But, Zhenbai, aren't you guys moving too fast?”
Zhu Bocheng still wanted to gossip, but suddenly heard the beep of the call being cut off. d.a.m.n, did Zhenbai have to abandon him as soon as he got what he wanted? If Zhu Bocheng had known, he wouldn't have said anything.
At the Zhu family residence, Mother Zhu saw her son sitting in the living room and talking on the phone. She even wondered if this child had someone he liked.
Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law whom Mother Zhu was satisfied with was that child, Shuyan. She had previously a.s.sumed that there was something developing between the two kids. Unfortunately, she waited for many days, but this kid never brought her back.
Mother Zhu couldn't help but walk into the living room and ask, “Chengcheng, by the way, why hasn't that child, Shuyan, come to our house to play recently? Why don't you invite her over for a visit sometime?”
Zhu Bocheng lifted his eyes and glanced at his mother. He knew what his mother was thinking. He didn't want to court death. If that rascal Zhenbai found out that he wanted his wife, what would happen?
So, in order to dispel his mother's thoughts, he hurriedly said, “Mom, Sister Shuyan and I are like brother and sister, don't think too much. She's dating Zhenbai!”
After listening to this kid's words, Mother Zhu was suddenly enlightened. No wonder when she had tried to matchmake the child with her son before, Zhenbai's face had been so cold. Mother Zhu finally gave up on this idea. If it were anyone else, she might have urged Bocheng to fight for Shuyan.
But against an opponent like Zhenbai, hm, forget it!
Mother Zhu sized up her son from head to toe. How could this kid compare with Zhenbai?
Although Mother Zhu felt it was a bit of a pity, she gave up for real.
“Mom, I'm going out for a while!” Zhu Bocheng didn't wait for Mother Zhu's reply and rushed out.
Chi Shuyan went back to the apartment after buying the herbs. These dozens of herbs had cost her more than half her savings, and she was really poor now.
She had to make money.
Chi Shuyan specially went online and clicked on her shop, and saw that it had reopened. It was just that she had taken down a lot of talismans and replaced them with spirit rice before. More than a dozen spirit rice had been swept up as soon as they were put on the shelf. Now, her shop was mostly empty. After thinking about it, she still didn't put the spirit rice on the shelf first.
Although she had tried her best to dilute the spirit rice, she hadn't really tested it, after all. It had been a bit risky putting it up previously, so Chi Shuyan decided to put all kinds of talismans on the shelf first and then take an a.s.signment in a few days.
Just then, a message box popped up. Chi Shuyan's gaze swept over it, and she discovered that the other party had sent a message at 12:30 pm every day like clockwork, asking if she was there. He also asked her several times if she was selling spirit rice.
It was just that she thought that her online shop had been shut down, so she hadn't paid attention to it for a few days. Now, Chi Shuyan typed out, “Here”!
