Chapter 525 Hard Bones
Someone came to visit again early the next morning. Hu Xiner thought it was Miss Du coming to harass them again. She opened the door in annoyance and saw that it was Zhao Si.
Zhao Si tried to get in through the crack in the door, but Hu Xin'er stopped him warily: "Wait, what do you want to do?"
"Sister God of Wealth, am I not here to thank you?" Zhao Si raised the gift in his hand, and his pair of almond-shaped eyes almost curved into crescents.
No matter how Hu Xin'er looked at him, she felt that he had bad intentions: "Thank you? I think you're here to laugh at me!"
Zhao Si smiled awkwardly, "You know everything? I swear, the rumors that spread throughout Qingzhou City were definitely not my doing."
Hu Xin'er asked suspiciously, "What rumor?"
Zhao Si looked around and whispered, "I heard that Miss Du has taken a fancy to you two, and now she's living next door to you. Is that true?"
Hu Xin'er's forehead was throbbing with veins. "You'd better get lost. Anyone who thinks about it knows that no normal person would fall in love with a couple at the same time, right?!"
She wanted to close the door, but Zhao Si quickly stuck his head in. Just to watch the fun, he actually risked having his neck pinched. He was really brave.
The cold gaze of Mu Qing next to him almost pierced Zhao Si through.
Zhao Si felt a chill on his back and quickly suppressed the smile on his face. The reason he was so sensible before was entirely because of Mu Qing's martial arts.
But now, the cooperation with Hu Xiner has made him taste the sweetness. Now in his eyes, Hu Xiner is simply an extremely huge treasure trove.
Therefore, he was extremely affectionate towards Hu Xiner, and the joke he made just now was just to get closer to her.
At this moment, seeing that the Lu couple were about to get angry, he quickly changed the subject: "Sister, brother-in-law, I came back specifically to report this matter to you. I already knew that those who spread these rumors are not good people!"
"Who are your sister and brother-in-law?" Hu Xiner frowned when she heard it.
Zhao Si chuckled, "None of this matters. What matters is that after my investigation, I discovered that it was Zhou Cheng and that bastard who spread the rumors! Brother-in-law, you must avenge my sister!"
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and Hu Xiner can see through Zhao Si's little calculations clearly.
He said on the surface that he came here to tip off the couple for their own good, but what was the truth? It was just because Zhou Chenghe had offended him during the last store opening, so he came here to stir up trouble and stand aside to watch the fun.
She said with a half-smile, "If you continue to act like a demon, our partnership will end."
She closed the door directly without saying any more words.
Zhao Si was so happy because his business was so prosperous in the past few days. When he heard Hu Xiner's words, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.
He quickly apologized, "Sister God of Wealth, I was too proud of myself. Please don't hold it against me~"
Hu Xin'er shook her head. "If you don't change your personality, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later. There are no permanent winners in the business world. Success is only temporary. Only by holding on to the lows and not making mistakes can you have the last laugh."
Zhao Si scratched his head: "My brother told me the same thing before..."
"Your brother?" Hu Xin'er narrowed her eyes. "Didn't you tell me before that you were an orphan, and that you started out as a beggar and worked your way up to where you are today?"
Zhao Si laughed out loud: "I'll go and dispel those rumors for my sister right now. You can keep these things for yourself. I'll be leaving first!"
As he ran forward, he smiled and waved back, looking so youthful and radiant. Even in the cold wind of early winter, he exuded a warmth that made people want to look at him a few more times.
The large boxes at the door hadn't been touched yet. Hu Xin'er couldn't help but feel a little worried: "It seems Miss Du is determined to use these things as betrothal gifts!"
Something was smashed right at their door, putting them in a dilemma.
First of all, this thing must not be taken back. Otherwise, once it is brought in, it will be assumed to be a betrothal gift, which is equivalent to taking advantage of Miss Du's wishes.
However, it cannot be thrown outside like this. After all, there is not even a seal on it. When the people from the Du family came to the door, they opened the boxes themselves.
They are all genuine gold, silver and jewelry, and there is even a box of priceless medicinal herbs!
It is said that the Du family has been from Qingzhou since their ancestors, and they once produced many successful candidates in the imperial examinations. However, for some unknown reason they committed crimes and were no longer allowed to take the imperial examinations, so they turned to military careers.
After learning martial arts, he even became a leader in the martial arts world. Later, he retired from the martial arts world and founded the Du Family Martial Arts School, which teaches martial arts today.
If we only talk about background, it is probably more "expensive" than many emerging aristocrats in the capital.
Because everyone knows that the Du family has a powerful background, the large betrothal gift they presented is even more enviable.
The human heart is unpredictable. If someone steals something from inside while passing by, who can discover it in time?
And if the things inside were really taken away, the Lu family would have no way to defend themselves, because Miss Du could claim that they deliberately took away the valuables inside!
By then, the Lu family will have no way to clear themselves of the blame even if they jump into the Yellow River.
Speak of the devil, and just a moment later, Miss Du from next door popped her head out again: "It's such a relief to see such a beautiful lady like Madam so early in the morning."
Hu Xiner's mouth twitched. "Beautiful as a flower" is a nice word, but having been tortured by modern movies, she really couldn't be happy when she was praised like this.
After all, the word "Ruhua" always reminds her of a rough man in women's clothing picking his nose, a killer from behind.
Miss Du easily climbed over the wall, took Hu Xin'er's hand, and walked inside without any hesitation: "Madam, be careful. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to come to my place to eat?"
Hu Xin'er was embarrassed: "Um, Miss Du, this is my home, you'd better not come over..."
Miss Du winked at her playfully and said, "It will soon be my home too!"
Hu Xin'er asked again in embarrassment, "Miss Du, what exactly do you like about my Yun Jue? I can ask him to try to modify it..."
Yesterday she had specifically sought out Yun Jue to have a chat, but because she was so angry, Lu Yun Jue's face would immediately turn cold whenever Miss Du was mentioned.
She didn't know that Miss Du's purpose was revenge, so she thought that no matter how enthusiastic Miss Du was, it would be a waste of effort, and it would be better to change the target quickly.
Miss Du said without hesitation: "I like his hard bones the most. How about you help me break all those bones?"
