But this matter has escalated to the point where there are too many grudges and grievances to explain!
After parting ways with Zhou Bo, Mo Lan went straight back to the inn to rest.
As usual, she went to find Tie Niu at night, and after two nights, she finally melted down all the silver bricks. As for the box of gold bricks, she didn't touch it for the time being.
Once again, she slept until late morning. Mo Lan checked out of the store and left. She had arranged to meet the grain store owner at Shenshi (3-5 PM). Since it was still early, she strolled around the streets.
When she passed by the fabric shop, Mo Lan thought for a moment, stepped inside, and chose a black brocade with a dark pattern for herself according to her preferences.
I chose a light blue brocade and a light blue gauze for my elder brother. I'll have Granny Jiang embroider bamboo on it, and with Hua Fengyu's refined temperament, he'll be absolutely elegant.
As for her father, Mo Lan directly chose navy blue. In addition, she also asked for ten bolts of dark red fine cotton cloth. After paying the silver, she still asked the shopkeeper to deliver them to the outskirts of the city at Shenshi (3-5 PM).
As she walked along, Mo Lan had several more boxes of pastries in her hands.
Dressed in a black outfit, with a proud ponytail, and carrying several boxes of pastries, she exudes a down-to-earth charm.
"Miss Mo Lan, we've finally found you."
As they were talking, Zhou Bo caught up, panting. "I went to the inn to look for you, but the innkeeper said you had already left. I just wanted to try my luck, and sure enough, I ran into you."
"Did you need something?" Mo Lan looked at Zhou Bo, waiting for him to catch his breath.
“My father has made his decision to return to our hometown, so I came here specifically to say goodbye to Miss Mo Lan,” Zhou Bo said, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Mo Lan looked at him, offering neither dissuasion nor comfort. This decision must have been made after careful consideration by the whole family, and she had no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.
"Bon Voyage!"
"Thank you..." Zhou Bo awkwardly cupped his hands in thanks, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Mo Lan looked at the somewhat dejected young man. Although she thought he was a good person, the two of them were not close, so she didn't say much.
Just as the two were about to part, Mo Lan suddenly spoke up, "You're leaving, what about the escort agency?"
"Of course, the escort agency has to close down. According to my father, he plans to entrust that courtyard to a broker to help find a buyer. However, after the Chen family's commotion, it probably won't fetch a good price."
When he left last time, his father didn't choose to sell it because he was afraid of interference from the Chen family, so he wanted to put it off for a while. Now that he's decided to return to his hometown, he probably won't come back here.
"Sell it? You've made up your mind?" Mo Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at him.
"It should be. My dad said he wanted to buy land back in our hometown..." Just thinking about having a bunch of镖头 (bodyguards) carrying hoes into the fields is terrifying.
"Come on, take me to see your father. I'm buying your family's security escort agency."
"Ah? Miss Mo Lan, you don't need to be like this..."
Before Zhou Bo could finish speaking, Mo Lan interrupted him, "You think I pity you? You're wrong. I just want to buy a house, and your family happens to have one. What a coincidence."
Zhou Bo: "...So what do you plan to do with it after you bought it?"
"Since it used to be a security escort agency, I might as well open one too, saving on advertising." In fact, Mo Lan had been thinking about how to open a logistics company for quite some time.
The predecessor of logistics companies was the escort agency, right? Anyway, they all deliver goods, so it doesn't matter what they are called.
Zhou Bo followed Mo Lan, his mind filled with doubt. Was it too hasty to make such a decision so easily?
