Chapter 253 The Free and Easy Girl
Zhu Shanshan just looked at him with infatuated eyes. The more she looked, the more she loved him, and the more she looked, the more she couldn't help herself.
"Li Mingyan," she suddenly called softly.
"Hmm?" Li Mingyan ate without raising his head.
"Aren't you afraid?" she asked.
"What are you afraid of?" Li Mingyan scooped a spoonful of ginseng soup and drank it. "It tastes good."
Zhu Shanshan knew he was deliberately changing the subject, but she refused to give in, so she continued asking, "You've been locked up in prison, aren't you afraid at all? What if you can't get out?"
"If I can't get out, Miss Zhu, are you planning to serve me meals for the rest of my life?" Li Mingyan put down the spoon and started picking up the dishes.
"If you really can't get out, I'm willing to bring you food for the rest of your life! But I won't let you stay here forever!" Zhu Shanshan looked at him seriously, "So, I came here specifically to tell you, don't worry, even if my father really wants to sentence you to jail, I will find a way to get you out! You are such an outstanding man, you deserve to bloom in this world with your endless brilliance. How can I bear to let you waste your years in prison?"
"You are doing this for me and are willing to disobey your father?" Li Mingyan finally finished his meal and put down his chopsticks.
"You don't have to worry about me. I am father's only daughter. He loves me the most and is reluctant to make things difficult for me. At most, he will scold me, and I will only be fine for a few days!" Zhu Shanshan said with a smile.
Li Mingyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, without saying a word, until Zhu Shanshan lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Miss Zhu, you've taken so much trouble to treat me like this, even at the cost of angering your father. Are you happy with me?" Li Mingyan said.
Zhu Shanshan never dreamed that the gentle and elegant Li Mingyan would ask such a direct question!
She was suddenly at a loss, "I...I..."
"If so, please take it back, Miss Zhu." Li Mingyan said lightly.
If Li Mingyan brought Zhu Shanshan to heaven the moment before, then at this moment, she was thrown into hell again.
She didn't even have time to be happy that the man she liked finally understood her feelings before she was rejected by him.
Zhu Shanshan couldn't find words to describe her feelings.
"Master Li, how could you do this?" Zhu Shanshan didn't say anything. Her maid Mo Ju couldn't help it and directly blamed him.
"If not this, what should I do? I should deceive your young lady into believing that I like her, and then use her to leave the prison and dump her?" Li Mingyan was not angry at all about Mo Ju's questioning, and even had a smile on his face.
"Of course that's not what I meant! What I meant was, you knew that my young lady liked you, so how could you say such hurtful words to her? Do you know that she has liked you for a long time? How could you bear it!" Mo Ju said angrily.
"No matter how long she likes me, since it is destined to have no result, I will naturally end it immediately." After Li Mingyan finished speaking, he stood up, walked into the prison, and no longer paid attention to the master and servant.
Seeing this, Mo Ju became even angrier. "Hey! Do you have a heart? I think you're just handsome, but actually heartless, right? Otherwise, how could you bear to make my young lady sad? She secretly sent you food without telling the master and the lady, just for this meal, can't you even pretend to comfort her?"
Zhu Shanshan's face was covered with tears at this moment, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Mingyan looked up at her and said, "Since it's impossible from the beginning, why bother pretending to coax her? I think that would be the greatest harm to her!"
"Li Mingyan!" Zhu Shanshan suddenly raised her head, holding back tears, looked at him and asked, "Can you tell me the reason? Why? Is it because I'm not pretty enough, not good enough, and not worthy of you?" Li Mingyan's expression suddenly became solemn. "There are so many beautiful and outstanding women in this world. According to what Miss Zhu said, as long as I think she is pretty and outstanding, can I take her home? Love is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. If you fall in love with the girl you meet, that's lifelong. If you don't like her and have no feelings for her, no matter how outstanding she is, it will be of no use!"
"Why are you so stubborn? You..." Mo Ju was so angry that she wanted to scold him again.
Zhu Shanshan stopped her, "Mo Ju, shut up! Don't be rude to Master Li!"
"Miss, he treated you like this, and you still protect him?" Mo Ju stomped her feet in anger.
"I understand what he means, so I admire him even more." Zhu Shanshan had tears in her eyes, but she was still smiling. She looked at Li Mingyan with clear eyes, "You are obviously imprisoned. As long as you pretend to agree to me, I can get you out. But you didn't. You would rather go to jail than use me."
Having said this, she suddenly stood up and looked at the man in the cell with a serious face, "Master Li, although Shanshan will never be your wife in this life, she also hopes to have the opportunity to occupy a seat among your many friends!"
Li Mingyan was also moved when he heard this. He stood up and walked over, bowing earnestly to Zhu Shanshan. "Miss Zhu is very righteous. Li Mingyan is not even a fraction of her!"
Zhu Shanshan knelt in return, "Brother Li, you are too modest. Please wait in prison for a few days. I will definitely find a way to get you out!"
She no longer called him Young Master Li, but Brother Li, which was a name only used between friends and brothers!
Li Mingyan looked at Zhu Shanshan's departing back and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhu Hongchen, a fool who only cared about money, could give birth to such a smart and free-spirited girl.
Comparing the two, he seemed a little mean-spirited. He ate other people's food and got their help, but hurt their feelings.
It seems that when dealing with Zhu Hongchen, we must be careful not to hurt innocent people.
"Greetings, sir!" The voice of the warden bowing respectfully suddenly came. Li Mingyan couldn't help but raise his head, and saw the city lord Zhu Hongchen walking in with a smile on his face.
"Mingyan, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Someone, come and open the door!" Zhu Hongchen looked at Li Mingyan with a distressed face, as if he felt sorry for his junior.
Li Mingyan pretended not to see the calculation and treachery in his eyes, and saluted with a smile, "How dare I trouble you to come to the prison in person to visit me? Mingyan is extremely terrified!"
"My dear nephew, please get up quickly. Oh, I'm ashamed to say that in the lobby, the Yao family insisted that you hurt someone. It's not easy for this city lord to favor you openly, so I have to let you down temporarily. But don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you!" Zhu Hongchen said with a smile.
"Thank you for your trust in Mingyan." Li Mingyan responded with a grateful smile.
"Oh, this matter is simple and difficult at the same time. Mingyan, you have admitted your guilt yourself. How can I help you anymore?" Zhu Hongchen suddenly looked embarrassed.
