Chapter 140 Great Wisdom
The three people went outside to talk, leaving He Yin in the room to examine Boss Shi.
Sheng Dahe had his hands in his sleeves, still staring at Lin Shiyuan. His gaze was like that of someone who had caught the girl next door cheating on him with the guy next door.
He was so bored in that village; it was mostly men, noisy and chaotic, and there was really nothing to see.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his eyes flickered.
Lin Shiyuan was once a general. If he were to return to officialdom in the future, would he be the first one to be targeted?
On second thought, Yao Qingling was now in the same boat as him. If Lin Shiyuan dared to touch him, Yao Qingling would also die.
Someone as intelligent as Yao Qingling wouldn't ignore her own needs and keep Lin Shiyuan by her side.
But wouldn't it be even better if Yao Qingling and Lin Shiyuan got together?
If he were to form a sworn brother-sister relationship with Yao Qingling, wouldn't he become Lin Shiyuan's brother-in-law?
One is a woman who has lost her husband's family, another is a down-on-his-luck general who has lost his official position, and the third is a bandit. This combination sounds very promising.
Sheng Dahe got more and more excited as he thought about it, stroking his hairless chin with his eyes shining.
Lin Shiyuan knew that Sheng Dahe was staring at him, but he endured it until he noticed that Sheng Dahe's gaze was becoming increasingly strange.
The look in his eyes suggested he had his eye on a fat sheep and wanted to kidnap it.
Lin Shiyuan, unable to bear it any longer, frowned and swept his fierce and sharp gaze over: "Boss Sheng, do you still want to fight with me?"
"Hey, no fighting, no fighting... Why fight? I've made a deal, I'm in a good mood." Sheng Dahe grinned and turned to look at Yao Qingling.
"Qingling, I just thought of something good. Shall we find a place to talk about it later?"
Yao Qingling could tell from his eyes that it wasn't good news. She turned her head away and said calmly, "What good news could you possibly have?"
Sheng Dahe said, "You'll understand once you hear what I have to say."
Yao Qingling turned around: "I don't want to hear it."
Sheng Dahe walked around to her and said, "Qingling, this is definitely a great thing. You'll definitely agree when you hear it."
Yao Qingling knew him fairly well; if he didn't agree, the bandit's fierce and savage nature would come out.
"Say it now!"
Sheng Dahe rubbed his hands together, glanced at Lin Shiyuan, and chuckled, "Little sister, we've known each other for so long, it's like we became friends after a fight. You're resourceful, I'm brave, and our cooperation has only brought us profit..."
As Lin Shiyuan listened to his increasingly ambiguous words, his brows slowly furrowed.
Could it be that Sheng Dahe has taken a liking to Yao Qingling?
Yao Qingling listened to the bandits with the utmost patience.
She got goosebumps and was about to say something when Sheng Dahe said hesitantly, "Qingling, don't you think our relationship, besides cooperation, should take it to the next level?"
Yao Qingling's eyes widened instantly: "Sheng Dahe, say that again?"
Who gave him the illusion that their relationship could go further?
Lin Shiyuan was initially very angry, although he didn't know where his anger came from. But when he heard Yao Qingling's resolute denial, his anger immediately dissipated.
He even had the leisure to sneer: "Ha, a toad trying to eat swan meat. No matter what, Madam Yao is the daughter of a general. Who are you?"
Sheng Dahe glared at him: "Toad? Which of us is the toad? You surnamed Lin, I can see right through your thoughts, how dare you say that to me?"
"All I want is to be siblings with Qingling. What do you want to do? Do you dare to say it?"
Lin Shiyuan: "..."
Yao Qingling: "..."
Do we need to be so coy about being siblings?
Wait, what did Sheng Dahe say?!
Lin Shiyuan's thoughts... his thoughts...
Yao Qingling glanced at the man out of the corner of her eye; Lin Shiyuan, however, dared not look at her.
He clenched his fist, then relaxed it, then clenched it again, repeating this several times, looking completely lost.
He never expected someone to suddenly point it out like that.
His feelings for Yao Qingling came to him after he slept on the roof for several days and finally figured it out.
He was clearly being very restrained and polite, so how did Sheng Dahe, that roughneck, manage to see through it?
But he didn't know that when it comes to liking someone, you can control your body and facial expressions, but your eyes can betray you.
Sheng Dahe glanced sideways at the two people looking embarrassed, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had always been a straightforward and frank person. But when it came to being siblings with Yao Qingling, he became timid and embarrassed, speaking of it in such a roundabout way for the first time in his life.
He was a rough, uncultured man, used to being thick-skinned. But Yao Qingling was of noble birth, and he knew that being her sibling was beneath him.
Lin Shiyuan was right. She was the daughter of a general, while he was just a peasant whose ancestors had been toiling in the fields for a living, and he was also a bandit.
Being her brother is not the same as being the general's son.
He wouldn't even dare to have such a thought in his wildest dreams.
"Girl, I've said all this, are you going to agree or not?" Sheng Dahe stretched his big head in front of Qing Ling and stared at her.
I'm just waiting for her to say something.
Yao Qingling was still pondering Lin Shiyuan's intentions when he suddenly asked her a question, causing her to frown: "Is being siblings that simple? You think it is?"
"Of course not. Let's agree verbally first, and then we'll find a temple and do what the Three Sworn Brothers of the Peach Garden did... no, the Two Sworn Brothers did, and kowtow to the gods. What do you say?"
Qingling: "..."
Sigh, this person doesn't understand rejection.
"Boss Sheng, it's not that I look down on you, but you haven't even reached the shore yet, and you're already dragging me down with you. What are you thinking?"
Qingling, unable to bear it any longer, rolled her eyes.
"Our business has only laid the foundation, we haven't even built the house yet, it's still uncertain whether it can be built at all. You're even better at making empty promises than I am."
"With your warehouse, I worked so hard to secure a deal for you, and you only offered me such a small discount? How dare you call yourself my boss? You're clearly trying to take advantage of me—"
Yao Qingling was so fierce and exasperated, as if she was avoiding something, and she didn't dare to glance at Lin Shiyuan.
She could sense that Lin Shiyuan had feelings for her, but his attitude changed when he found out she was pregnant.
Sheng Dahe is acting all smart here, and we have to expose him. If we don't take it out on him, who else can we vent our anger on?
"Okay, okay—" Sheng Dahe covered his ears, it was so noisy.
He picked at his ear with his little finger, feeling quite embarrassed by the rejection.
But he didn't care; it was just being rejected by a woman.
He glanced at Lin Shiyuan: "And what about him?"
"What's wrong with him?" Qingling asked, her tone harsh, as if she had been kicked.
Lin Shiyuan glanced at her, pursed his lips, and turned his head away.
Sheng Dahe looked at both of them and felt that the two of them didn't seem quite right for each other.
Why do they all look so angry?
Weren't you just staring at me intently?
Sheng Dahe, feeling awkward, stood awkwardly to the side.
After He Yin finished treating Boss Shi, she came out and saw three people standing in three different directions.
What's wrong?
Yao Qingling looked at He Yin: "Is Boss Shi alright?"
The key is that the person cannot have a terminal illness. If the business deal is just finalized and the person dies before it even gets off the ground, then the deal is off.
He Yin: "The blow was too great, he suffered from anxiety. He'll be fine once he leaves the capital. I prescribed him some medicine."
Qingling nodded: "That's good."
If there's nothing else, it's time to go back.
Sheng Dahe once again pulled Qingling aside and whispered something to her.
