Chapter 264 A Good Show
Qiyun said sadly, "The guy I like said he's getting engaged to someone else. What should I do?"
Ji Yunshu pointed at his nose: "You ask me?"
Qiyun said, "Yes, I have heard about Madam's story. You are a very courageous woman. They haven't gotten married yet, and I don't want to give up."
This statement itself clearly stated her thoughts, and Ji Yunshu was not ambiguous: "You are from Miaojiang, so you don't have to care about your reputation. Just take the person back if you like."
Qiyun said to Lin Huixue proudly, "Did you hear that?"
Lin Huixue said angrily, "Madam, I was just on my way to the capital when I saw this girl alone and nearly killed. I felt pity for her and saved her. It wasn't a big deal, and I didn't take it seriously. How can this lead to a marriage?"
Qiyun was also a little angry: "Why didn't you tell me that you also looked at my body? You people in the Central Plains have always valued a woman's chastity. You looked at me and I still don't want to take responsibility for me?"
Ji Yunshu waved his hand and said, "It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs. Why don't you guys come to a conclusion among yourselves first and then tell me?"
"Madam is right. You should discuss it carefully first."
Cen Xi also said this at this time, and without waiting for the two to react, he quickly pulled Ji Yunshu away.
When they arrived at the private room, she took a sip of tea before asking Ji Yunshu, "Is this play good?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her and saw that she didn't look unhappy at all, so he said, "That's it. Your uncooperativeness is far worse than I expected."
Cen Xi glared at her unhappily: "What do you mean? Isn't that girl at your house? Why did she suddenly run out?"
Ji Yunshu spread his hands and said, "She said she missed her sweetheart and wanted to come out to see him. How can I stop her?"
"Don't interrupt me. You know very well that I will be engaged to Lin Huixue in a few days."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Are you blaming me for ruining your good marriage?"
Cen Xi was completely at a loss as to what to do with her, so he had no choice but to share his findings first: "Lin Huixue is indeed not a simple person, but after working as the accountant for a few days, he seems to have studied the situation of this restaurant thoroughly."
Ji Yunshu was puzzled: "What's going on in this restaurant?"
Cen Xi sighed, "This restaurant is a gathering place for scholars and writers. They talk and discuss things every day, and they often reveal a lot of things unintentionally. It's a very suitable place to gather intelligence. By staying in this restaurant, he can contact the people he wants to contact without leaving any trace and learn what he wants to know."
Ji Yunshu also sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. Some people, no matter where they are, you can't stop them from doing what they want to do."
"What about this marriage?"
Cen Xi was also a little tired. Someone could still cause trouble right under his nose.
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "Forget it, it looks like he wants to get rid of you, otherwise this wouldn't happen."
"You mean it was his idea that the girl came to cause trouble?"
Cen Xi was surprised.
"Why else would they come and cause trouble on the eve of your engagement, in a restaurant where there are so many people and eyes."
Cen Xi sneered: "Who does he think he is? He can marry me if he wants to, and not marry me if he doesn't want to? I have to marry her."
Ji Yunshu frowned and said disapprovingly, "Calm down. Don't let your impulse ruin your life."
Cen Xi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Do you think I'm impulsive? I don't know how much longer my grandfather's body can last. I don't have time to look for a suitable man. As long as I have a child to inherit the Cen family, I don't care who he is."
Ji Yunshu: "... Once you get married, you'll be his wife. If he really commits suicide, it will implicate you and the child."
The key point is that Ji Yunshu feels that this man is not so easy to control.
Cen Xi smiled nonchalantly and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll find a way to kill him."
Ji Yunshu was a little doubtful about her own judgment. She had never realized that Cen Xi was so tough before.
"Killing is wrong. There are actually many men like this. Do you want to take another look?"
Cen Xi shook his head at her: "No, he was the one who provoked me first, and it's not easy to find someone as smart and beautiful as him. For the sake of my child, I have to marry him."
Ji Yunshu found that although this matter sounded a bit absurd, when he thought about it carefully, it did make some sense.
Cen Xi is rich, and her status means she cannot marry a powerful man. She will have to be the head of her own household in the future, so her choices will be much smaller.
"But she doesn't want to marry you, and that girl is from Miaojiang. She doesn't care about her reputation. I don't think you can stand up to her."
Cen Xi seemed to have been prepared and said with a smile: "Don't worry about these, just wait and see the show."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ji Yunshu stopped trying to persuade her.
In fact, she also wanted to see what Lin Huixue was going to do.
The two chatted for a while and then someone knocked on the door.
Ji Yunshu winked at Cen Xi and called out, "Come in."
The door was opened, and Qiyun and Lin Huixue walked in together.
Cen Xi looked at the two of them and asked, "Any results?"
Qiyun lowered her head sadly: "Sister, since you haven't gotten married yet, can you...can you give him to me?"
Cen Xi looked at her for a long moment before asking Lin Huixue, "What do you say?"
Qiyun said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you asking him?"
Cen Xi said, "If you want me to give him to you, I'll naturally ask him for his opinion. If he doesn't like you and he doesn't want to be with you even if I give him up, then wouldn't it be a waste of my time?"
She had said the word "give in" several times, and Lin Huixue's expression turned ugly. He said indifferently: "I have already promised to marry Miss Cen, and I will not break my promise."
"Did you hear that?" Cen Xi smiled at Qiyun.
Qiyun said to Lin Huixue sadly, "It was obviously me who met you first, and you even looked at me. How can you not take responsibility?"
Lin Huixue said expressionlessly, "Miss, I've already explained it. I closed my eyes at the time and didn't see it."
Qiyun still refused to give in, and Cen Xi said impatiently, "Miss, have you thought it through? No matter what, you want to be with him, right?"
Qiyun looked at Cen Xi, but saw that he was smiling, and could not tell what emotion he was showing. She could only nod: "Yes."
Cen Xi was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said, "Well, Master Lin has already met my grandfather, and our marriage will never be changed. If you must be with him, then be his concubine. Don't worry, I am a generous person and will never do anything jealous. Our Cen family is a merchant family, so we don't have so many rules. It's fine for you to come with him."
Qiyun felt as if she understood what she said, but also as if she didn't. She looked around at the people around her.
I found that Ji Yunshu seemed surprised as well.
Lin Huixue, her anger tangible, stared at Cen Xi and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
It was the first time that Qiyun saw the gentle Lin Huixue so angry. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and dared not say anything.
Ji Yunshu looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes fixed on the bulging veins on Lin Huixue's clenched fists.
I thought to myself, this is really a good show.
