"But I'm afraid..."

If one day the truth comes out and the old lady finds out that he and Young Master Shen were deceiving her, wouldn't that be...

"Don't worry, I won't let you be implicated in today's matter."

In the Shen family, apart from Madam Shen, it is now Shen Changling who calls the shots.

With him as a guarantor, what is there to be afraid of?

"Okay, then I'll do you this favor."

"Thanks."

Shen Changling breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking back, Boss Song was heading towards Guan's tailor shop.

He suddenly remembered something else, his expression changed, and he chased after them again.

"Mr. Song, I have another request."

A man's voice came from behind.

Honestly, even Boss Song is afraid of him.

I'm afraid he'll say something that will get him into trouble later.

He responded with a "hey".

He stopped, his face full of worry.

"Young Master Shen, what's wrong now?"

"Miss Guan, are you very familiar with her?"

"Not familiar with it," Mr. Song told the truth. "I only brought my clothes here to be mended the day before yesterday."

The Song family lived in the west of the city, while the Guan family lived in the south.

He had never seen this person before coming to the south of the city.

“Alright.” Shen Changling nodded and said directly, “I would like to trouble you to conceal my identity.”

"Especially in front of Miss Guan, I hope you can temporarily act as my distant cousin."

"Why?" This is something Boss Song couldn't understand.

"Young Master Shen, what is your relationship with Miss Guan?"

"We... fell in love freely."

Upon hearing these four words, Shen Changling suddenly blushed.

He had heard those four words from her.

Otherwise, he would have only known about arranged marriages and matchmakers before.

"What free love?" Boss Song couldn't understand it at all.

"Alright, alright."

That's so troublesome.

Fortunately, he only stayed in the south of the city for ten days or half a month.

I'll be leaving here in a few days.

Shen Changling could tell that he was somewhat unwilling.

However, it's just that I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.

We should still be polite to him.

So he took ten silver dollars from his own purse and gave them to him.

When Boss Song saw this, he was stunned.

"Young Master Shen, what's wrong with you...?"

"Here's the money, consider it a favor to me."

"This, this isn't right," Boss Song said, trying to return it to him.

But he said, "This is my payment to you."

That……

"Thank you, Young Master Shen."

He went to the tailor shop alone to retrieve the purse he had left behind.

He wouldn't answer any of Rong Shang's questions.

To quote Shen Changling, "I am his distant cousin."

You can't get any answers from him.

Rong Chang had no choice but to go to Shen Changling.

Ask him why he was avoiding his cousin.

He then said something that made her very suspicious.

He said, "Because I borrowed 100 silver dollars from him and haven't paid him back yet."

"I... I'm afraid he'll come after me for it."

"You borrowed money from him?" Rong Shang didn't believe it. "I think he borrowed money from you."

"No, no."

"Aren't you very rich?"

He would spend ten or twenty dollars at a time.

Even poor people can't afford to be as extravagant as him.

"Sigh." Shen Changling sighed, "Actually, I just spent money recklessly before, and ended up spending all the money my father gave me..."

Is that really the case?

Rong Shang stared at him for several seconds.

Finally, she casually remarked, "I see you're spending money quite extravagantly these days."

She now has doubts.

Will he come to tell her in a few days that he has no money to stay in a hotel?

I really didn't expect that.

What I said today has truly become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
