Chapter 355 Please Help Me

"Mom, what are you saying? What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything."

"You came out of my belly, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Ah! Let me tell you, don't think about anything, it's impossible anyway!"

"Then you know what I'm thinking."

"hehe."

"Alright, alright, I know. These are pastries I made for Miss, mung bean cakes. Take them over so you won't accuse me of making a fuss again."

"Just keep it to yourself."

"You're such a loving mother."

Her mother ignored her and simply took the pastries and walked out.

The little girl secretly hid behind the door, watching her mother walk over and talk to the family.

I'm so envious.

This is the life of the wealthy.

Thinking of herself, the girl looked down at the rough surroundings. If she could live such a life, she would be content for the rest of her life.

but……

Thinking of her mother's warning, the girl pouted.

She didn't intend to do anything, so why are you being so wary of her, as if she really is planning something?

"Xiaomei, come here."

Just as the girl turned around to wash the dishes, her mother called her. Li Xiaomei quickly responded and went out, saying, "Mom, you called me."

"Come here, let me introduce you. This is the young lady, and this is the young master."

"Greetings, Miss. Greetings, Young Master."

"Hello." Xiao Taohua and Xiao Peichuan nodded politely.

"Then, I'll take Xiaomei to the kitchen first."

"Go on, Aunt Li, thank you for your hard work," Yin Qing said.

"It's no trouble at all, it's just what we should do." With that, he pulled Li Xiaomei back.

Li Xiaomei obediently followed her mother into the kitchen, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom, don't even mention it, I don't dare to look at my son-in-law. He seems too unapproachable."

"Why are you getting close to the son-in-law!"

"I was just describing it. It's fine when we're far apart, but when we're close, I always feel like the son-in-law is the kind of person who, oh right, there's an idiom called 'keep away strangers,' anyway, I'm a little scared."

Aunt Li rolled her eyes. "Aren't you afraid it will have an impact?"

Don't be so self-righteous.

"Mom, what kind of partner do you think I should find in the future?"

How would I know?

"I actually want to find someone rich."

"Oh, then try your best."

"When we have money, we'll build you a big house and hire people to take care of you."

Li's mother was tempted.

She glanced at the bustling scene outside and said, "Our master and mistress know quite a few people. How about I ask them to introduce us? They're definitely richer than the people we know."

Li Xiaomei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mom!"

"Don't get your hopes up too high. Maybe the master and mistress won't agree, and you'll have to find someone yourself."

"It's just a matter of asking; the master and madam certainly won't refuse."

"We'll see."

"Mom, I can also make other pastries. Let me tell you, I'm really good at making pastries. My master once said I had a talent. I need to think about what to make for Miss tomorrow. I'm sure Miss will be happy with it. Then Master and Madam will definitely introduce me to them."

"That's a good idea," Li Ma nodded.

After the commotion subsided, the Lin family returned to quiet.

But from the second day onwards, the Lin family was never at peace, as everyone came to visit after learning that Lin Xiaotao had returned.

Seeing all these important figures, the Li mother and daughter were completely mesmerized.

Goodness, the master and mistress's family has really powerful connections.

Several of these important figures are people you can only see on television.

Even those living in the villas, who usually have expressionless faces when they see others, now all have smiles on their faces.

People are really different.

"Mom, I'm going to deliver some pastries to Miss."

"Go quickly and come back soon, so as not to offend the important person."

Li Xiaomei didn't say anything, but instead quickly took the plate and left the kitchen.

She didn't go anywhere else, but went to the study.

"Sir, I've made some pastries, would you like to try them?"

"Come in."

"Sir, these are freshly baked pastries. Miss has already sent them over. These are for you."

"Just put it there."

"Yes, sir." Li Xiaomei obediently put down the plate in her hand. "Sir, there are many guests outside. Aren't you going to entertain them?"

"No need, we're all on the same side. Is there anything else?"

"Um, sir..."

"Speak if you have something to say." Lin Guangsheng looked up at his servant.

Actually, Lin Guangsheng was reluctant to hire such a young girl, but Li Ma was someone they had hired as soon as they arrived, and she worked well and didn't talk much. Li Ma said her daughter was being bullied at home, and since her daughter was an excellent pastry baker, Lin Guangsheng agreed.

But looking at it now...

Perhaps he's overthinking it.

"Yes, a fellow villager sent me a message saying that it's true..."

Li Xiaomei glanced at Lin Guangsheng secretly.

Lin Guangsheng remained silent.

Li Xiaomei could only grit her teeth and say, "They said my dad found me a boyfriend and even accepted a bride price. He's twenty years older than me and his child is already married."

Lin Guangsheng said calmly, "And then, what do you want to say?"

"Master, please help me, I don't want to get married." She couldn't help but cry as she spoke: "I've never even met that person. How could my father do that? He even took money from him. Isn't this selling his daughter? My mother and I agreed to leave Qian and send him money every month. We even scrimped and saved to give him all our wages, but he still wants to sell me. I really don't want to get married."

"You can go out now."

"ah?"

"go out!"

Seeing Lin Guangsheng's strange attitude, Li Xiaomei immediately panicked and said, "Master, I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"

“You did something wrong, but go out and call Li Ma over.”

"Master, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you with family matters. Please give me another chance. I'm so sorry."

"I don't want to say it a second time, get out!"

"I'll go out right away, I'm so sorry, sir, I'll go out right away, please forgive me," Li Xiaomei pleaded in a panic as she left.

Lin Guangsheng ignored her and stared at her coldly.

Li Xiaomei was really frightened, and she rushed out of the study without looking back.

"What's wrong? Why are you so pale? Didn't you go to deliver pastries to the young lady?"

Li Ma looked at her panicked daughter, completely bewildered.

"Mom, Mom, save me! Mom, Mom, I didn't do anything! Mom, save me!"

"What's wrong with you?!"

"Mom, I told Grandpa that Dad wants to marry me off to a man twenty years older than me, but Mom, I didn't mean to. I just wanted Grandpa to help me out, but he seems unwilling and even asked you to come over. Mom, should we fire Grandpa? Mom, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to."

"How could you trouble the master with this matter!"

"But we can't solve it ourselves."

"You wait here. The master isn't the kind of person who's heartless. I'll go and plead with him."

"Mom, please help me, please help me."

"You! I told you not to be so reckless, but you still do it!" Li Ma pinched her daughter's arm, then hurriedly went to find Lin Guangsheng.
