Chapter 487 Always Stand by Sister Qi

Tao, the head of the household, was not surprised by this and remained very calm, as if he had already known about Wan Qiqi's decision.

He nodded and said, "I will take the man to the authorities, and you will receive a substantial reward."

"Thank you, Uncle Tao." Wan Qiqi did not refuse again.

The two chatted for a while and discussed Wan Ziyan's situation before Tao Huzhang left.

Knowing that Wan Qiqi had come to buy the shop, the shop owner immediately handed over the land deed and said, "Manager Wan, I have no way to repay your kindness. Consider this shop as a reward and give it to you."

Wan Qiqi looked down at the land deed, then glanced at the girl behind the old man, and shook her head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, old man, but I never expected anything in return for doing this. I heard that you sold the shop because of a family misfortune. If that's the case, wouldn't it be taking advantage of your misfortune if I took the shop?"

The shop owner sighed upon hearing this, saying, "All my sons and grandsons have passed away, leaving only my husband and this granddaughter. I had intended to sell the shop to save for my granddaughter's dowry. But before I could sell it, that man passed the imperial examination and severed all ties with my granddaughter..."

Wan Qiqi was taken aback.

Isn't this what you often see in TV dramas: passing the imperial examinations and abandoning your beloved?

They've only just finished the provincial examination, and haven't even taken the palace examination yet, and they can't wait any longer!

As a result, Wan Qiqi couldn't help but glance at the girl a few more times.

As the old man spoke of this, a hint of sadness appeared in the girl's eyes, as if she were in despair.

"That's outrageous! He's not even in high school yet, and he's already thinking about abandoning his sweetheart!" Wu Gousheng said indignantly. "Old man, let me tell you, you're better off without someone like that! If you keep him, your granddaughter might suffer a lot if she marries him!"

Wan Qiqi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Wu Gousheng's appearance.

Sure enough, the longer you spend with someone, the more you'll think like her.

Wan Qiqi stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, your shop isn't what I wanted. Even if you give it to me, it will just sit here abandoned. If you still want to sell it, I can help you find a buyer and get a good price, how about that?"

"How can this be?" The shop owner immediately shook his head and said, "Manager Wan, you have already saved me and my granddaughter, and now you want to help us sell our shop. We have no way to repay you!"

“You don’t need to repay me… If you really want to repay me, then let me see how your granddaughter makes the person who abandoned her regret it, how about it?” Wan Qiqi was looking forward to tearing the scumbag apart.

“This…” The shop owner turned his head and looked at his granddaughter.

The girl was stunned, seemingly never having imagined such a thing.

As a woman, do I have any room to resist?

Wan Qiqi didn't say much to these people, but asked Wu Gousheng to explain the shop's situation to the shop owner before leaving with Wu Gousheng.

Wu Gousheng followed behind Wan Qiqi, and only after they had walked far away could he help but ask, "Sister Qi, you're acting strange today."

"Something's not right?" Wan Qiqi paused, turned around and glanced at him.

"Something's not right." Wu Gousheng quickly caught up with him and said, "In the past, you would have been overjoyed to hear that there were a hundred taels of silver, but today you actually don't want the money!"

"Also, that shop, in the past, even if you didn't want it, you would have bought it and left the grandfather and granddaughter to continue running it, instead of helping them sell it."

Wan Qiqi nodded and praised, "Your observation is very keen; you've made progress. Keep it up."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace, a smile on her face, seemingly quite happy.

Wu Gousheng was puzzled and quickly asked, "Sister Qi, you still haven't told me why you did this?"

Wan Qiqi then slowed down, stopped, and looked at Wu Gousheng seriously, asking, "How many people do you think are watching me right now?"

Wu Gousheng was about to count on his fingers when Wan Qiqi stopped him from saying the names, so he said, "There are many."

“Xinglong Restaurant is already very popular. If I arrest thieves and the people gossip about it, what will happen?” Wan Qiqi patted Wu Gousheng on the shoulder and said, “The more prominent you are, the more dangerous it is. What we need to do now is to consolidate our position, not let people know what I have done.”

"Oh." Wu Gousheng scratched his head, not knowing whether he understood or not.

"As for the shop owners, even if I buy their shops and let them stay, what difference will it make? With my protection, they can live comfortably, but who can say for sure that I won't get into trouble in the future?"

Wan Qiqi knew that her path would not be smooth sailing. Those who stayed by her side would have to grow on their own, instead of staying in one place and waiting for her to pull them along.

"Pah, Sister Qi, don't talk nonsense. You'll be fine! If anything happens to you, I'll be the first to stand up and protect you!" Wu Gousheng patted his chest and said.

Wan Qiqi was taken aback, then a self-deprecating smile curved her face as she said, "What if what I'm about to do is opposed by everyone in the world?"

“Then I’ll stand with Sister Qi!” Wu Gousheng said firmly.

For him, whatever his Sister Qi does, she has her own reasons, and following her will never be wrong.

Wan Qiqi smiled at him and said, "Let's go! Let's continue looking for a shop."

“Okay!” Wu Gousheng replied.

The azure sky was illuminated only by the sun, shining from east to west across the entire land.

"Young master, isn't that Manager Wan and her henchmen?" Feng's servant pointed.

Feng Gan squinted and looked over, and sure enough, it was Wan Qiqi and that guy Wu Gousheng.

He couldn't help but wonder what this woman was doing wandering the streets instead of being in a restaurant or at home.

Bringing a man into public is utterly shameless!

"Why bother with her so much? We're not on her turf right now, let's drink!" Feng Gan said, but his eyes followed Wan Qiqi.
