Shi Murou continued, "You don't know, I went to your village twice to look for you, but you weren't home either. You said you went to Yongguan County. You're so busy at such a young age."
Qiao Lian'er felt a pang of guilt; she hadn't expected Shi Murou to care about her so much.
She thought that Shen Liang's matter was over and that they wouldn't need to have any contact anymore.
She couldn't help but begin to examine her acquaintance with Shi Murou.
Is she really being a little too cruel to Shi Murou?
"Sister Shi, I was wrong. To express my apology, how about I treat you to tea and snacks?"
Qiao Lian'er placed her hand on the back of Shi Murou's hand.
"That's more like it." Shi Murou looked at the man beside her.
"Chu Zhuo, this is my good friend, Qiao Lian'er. You have no idea how amazing she is. She saved my life."
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you in detail how she saved me, and you'll admire her too."
Chu Zhuo nodded to Qiao Lian'er.
Shi Murou then said to Qiao Lian'er, "Lian'er, his name is Chu Zhuo, and he is my fiancé."
Qiao Lian'er was a little surprised: "You're already engaged?"
"Yes, it was just settled half a month ago. Chu Zhuo, he's really good to me."
Shi Murou said with some emotion that in the past, she was the one who gave to Shen Liang, but Shen Liang only knew how to talk and sweet-talk her. Chu Zhuo was different; he treated her well with his actions and genuinely cared about her.
Chu Zhuo, on the other hand, was not one to use flowery words.
It was only after meeting Chu Zhuo that she realized what true goodness really meant.
Upon entering the teahouse, Qiao Lian'er ordered a pot of Biluochun tea and several plates of dim sum.
Shi Murou's eating habits have also changed; she no longer tries to put everything in her mouth like before.
Taking a sip of tea and a bite of pastry is quite like the etiquette of a wealthy young lady.
Qiao Lian'er was completely stunned.
She could hardly recognize Shi Murou anymore.
But Shi Murou's enthusiasm and straightforward personality remained unchanged.
Looking at his features, he also exudes a more intelligent air, as if he has developed this intelligence through life's setbacks.
Qiao Lian'er thought of a saying: "A person cannot become a useful person without being tempered." Perhaps this was a training that Heaven had intentionally arranged for Shi Murou.
Shi Murou wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and then began to talk about that matter.
She still remembers the twists and turns of it all very clearly.
Chu Zhuo also glanced at Qiao Lian'er with some surprise. This little girl looked about eight years old, with two buns in her hair, completely like a child.
I never expected her to be so clever and intelligent.
Shi Murou only told him that she had been hurt by a scumbag in the past, and now the scumbag was in a terrible state.
Little did he know that so much scheming was involved, and he almost ruined her life.
Fortunately, this little girl had a brilliant plan and pulled Shi Murou back from the edge of the cliff.
Otherwise, that family would be like maggots clinging to the bone, gnawing at the Shi family, devouring her completely, and then cruelly abandoning her.
Chu Zhuo felt a genuine admiration for Qiao Lian'er.
“Miss Qiao, I never imagined that you would be so capable at such a young age. You saved Rou’er, which is the same as saving me. Rou’er and I will remember your kindness.”
Does that mean he was saved? Qiao Lian'er didn't quite understand what he meant.
