Shen Qianye heard Li Nian's soft call and quickly responded, "I'm coming."
Lin Hongsang had never seen Shen Qianye so nervous about that girl, and her intuition told her that Shen Qianye treated this girl differently.
Seeing that Li Nian was about to climb onto the carriage, Lin Hongsang curled the corners of her lips and threw the mouse in her hand very accurately at Li Nian's feet.
After the big rat landed on the ground, it turned around a few times in a daze.
Li Nian felt something soft passing through the sole of her foot and looked down in confusion.
The big dark rat and its squeaking sounds instantly irritated her nerves.
"ah--"
Li Nian jumped and screamed in panic.
Shen Qianye hurried forward, half squatted down, and put his arms around her legs. Before Li Nian could react, her whole body had been lifted up by him.
Shen Qianye watched the mouse on the ground turn around a few times, then randomly chose a direction to escape.
Feeling the person in his arms still trembling slightly, he whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, the mouse has run away."
After hearing his words, Li Nian's frightened heart finally calmed down.
She raised her face and collided with Shen Qianye's dark eyes as he looked down at her. The distance was very close and their breaths were entangled.
Li Nian's body stiffened, her cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head evasively, and whispered, "Chen Qianye, you can let me down now."
The soft voice is like sweet wine, whispering softly in the ear, making people feel slightly tipsy.
For the first time, Shen Qianye felt that his name was so nice.
He obediently put the person down gently, his face, which was tanned by the scorching northwest sun, flushed red with shame. When he thought about what he had just done, he was at a loss again.
I just acted without thinking, and now I realize how rude it was to behave like that on the street.
He quickly bent down to apologize, explained the whole story, and took all the blame on himself.
"Well, I know you mean well."
Li Nian comforted Chen Qianye with soft words.
His eyes suddenly glared at the culprit of this incident, pursed his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and walked towards the store quickly with a fierce look.
Shen Qianye was afraid that her small body would suffer in a fight, so she hurried to follow.
Lin Hongsang crossed her arms and didn't take her seriously at all.
Li Nian walked into the shop with a cold face, pointed at Lin Hongsang, and asked the boss fiercely: "Is that girl a shop assistant in your shop?"
The shop owner quickly apologized with a smile: "Don't be angry, girl. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"I don't want you to apologize." Li Nian stared at me with clear eyes, his tone cold and fierce: "Return my deposit to me, I won't buy from you anymore!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand with her palm facing upwards.
Unfortunately, she is small, has a soft voice, and has no aura at all.
The shop owner smiled and said, "Girl, it's not a big deal, is it? Can't I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter?"
Li Nian knew that the shop owner was trying to smooth things over and was about to speak.
Then I heard Shen Qianye say bluntly: "Brother Lin, today's matter can't be let go casually. Either you return the money, or you let Lin Hongsang apologize to Nian Nian in person."
Lin Hongsang's eyes turned red with anger: "Brother Qianye, our two families have known each other for so many years, and you actually helped an outsider bully our family?"
Shen Qianye sneered: "It's obviously you who is looking for trouble today. I brought my friends to take care of your business, but you deliberately used a mouse to scare Nian Nian. Who is bullying who?"
The shop owner's face also looked a little unhappy: "Qianye, with the relationship between our two families, you shouldn't go too far."
"Brother Lin, what you said is interesting. Your family has learned the skill of turning the tables, right?" Shen Qianye walked to the cloth with a cold expression, picked up a piece of cloth with his fingers, and said in a tough attitude: "Either make Lin Hongsang apologize, return the money, or..."
He tilted his head and said threateningly, "How many pieces of cloth do you have to pay off the debt?"
The shop owner's face turned cold and he shouted angrily, "Nonsense! That deposit is not enough to buy a piece of cloth from my family."
Lin Hongsang also shouted angrily: "Chen Qianye! Don't go too far!"
At this time, some people who were watching the fun had gathered outside their shop. Lin Hongsang's face turned red with anger, and suddenly she saw Aunt Shen in the crowd.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over to pull Aunt Shen into the shop, saying, "Aunt Shen, you have to take good care of Brother Qianye! Our two families have such a good relationship, but he is causing trouble for my family just for a hypocritical woman."
Li Nian: Is she hypocritical? Do you think she's easy to bully?
When Aunt Shen saw Li Nian, she was petite, with skin as white as jade, and very charming.
At first glance, it turned out to be the girl from the south that my daughter talked about every day!
Shen Qianye knew that his mother had a good relationship with the Lin family, and was afraid that his mother would stand on the Lin family's side and speak for the Lin family.
He quickly explained what had just happened.
As Shen Qianye was talking, the shop owner and Lin Hongsang kept interrupting and making excuses.
Aunt Shen listened to the general idea, but her eyes were always curiously fixed on Li Nian.
Li Nian noticed her gaze and looked at her in confusion. Thinking that this lady was her friend's mother, she smiled slightly, bowed and greeted her.
Aunt Shen suddenly smiled: "Oh, you are Nian Nian, right?"
Li Nian was puzzled. How did she know her name? But she still responded politely, "Yes, Auntie."
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "I often hear Bai Ying talk about you two sisters. You are really pitiful children! By the way, your sister is still working in the government office now."
"Yes, he's still working in the government office. We're moving today, and Chen... Brother Qianye brought me to this house to buy bedding, saying that it's easier to get to know someone he knows." Li Nian said nothing more after saying this.
Shen Qianye felt a little ashamed. If he had known that Brother Lin would have such an attitude, he would rather go to a shop he didn't know.
When the shop owner heard the words "working as an official in the government office", he immediately regretted his attitude.
He quickly took advantage of Aunt Shen's presence to find a way out for himself: "Oh, Sister Shen, this is all a misunderstanding! You know my Hong Sang's temper, too stubborn!"
He glared at her and said, "Hongsang, why don't you apologize to Miss Nian Nian quickly! You really went too far just now. You have no manners at all."
Lin Hongsang curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I was just joking with her, who knew she couldn't take a joke so well?"
Li Nian didn't want to argue with them anymore and just looked at the shop owner coldly: "Will you refund the money?"
The shop owner was thinking about building connections at this moment! After all, for those working in the government office, no matter how big or small the official position is, knowing one more person will only benefit them and not harm them when they run a shop.
He quickly reached into his pocket and took out some money: "Don't be angry, girl. I'll return the money to you. As for the things you want, I'll personally deliver them to your house when the time comes."
Li Nian took the money from him and said in a cold and lazy voice, "I'm only taking back my own money. As for the things, you don't have to send them. We don't need them."
