Chapter 36 The Thief's Heart Is Still There



Shen Liyue naturally had a kind heart, but as a businessman, she had other plans in mind.

This time, when she opened the barbecue shop, she only sold wine and beverages. But if the customers responded well, she planned to open a wine shop in the future. However, she didn't have much cash on hand. She had recorded all the profits from the several shops that Jiang had given her in the account. If the Shen family did something wrong in the future... Shen Liyue didn't want to think about what happened in her previous life, but she always thought about preparing more money in case of emergency in the future.

Now she only has two sources of income: the farm outside the city and the barbecue shop she is about to open. Chen Liyue knows that she still has to take one step at a time. She has ways to make money, but she can't be impatient.

Although Mr. Wang is old now, he still has the winemaking skills, and his subordinates will do the work. If he can be used by himself, it will be considered as recruiting talents for the future.

The matter was settled smoothly, and Shen Liyue was in a good mood. She looked at Lian Dong and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Lian Dong happily agreed, "Yes, Miss."

Zhuangyuan Street is the most prosperous street in Wangjing City. There are many pedestrians on the road. The master and his two servants did not take a carriage, but strolled on the street. They stopped when they saw anything new. After a while, Lian Dong and Yu Zhou were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

As she was strolling around, Shen Liyue stopped in front of a shop that made lacquer fans.

Lacquer fans are different from ordinary fans. They are not painted on. Instead, a wooden barrel is filled with water, and different colored paints are dripped onto the water surface. The fan is then immersed in the water, and the paint on the water surface naturally spreads onto the fan surface to form ripples.

You can choose the paint yourself, so the fan you make will be unique.

It was a small shop, but there were a lot of people watching. Shen Liyue and the other two waited in line for quite a while.

Finally it was Shen Liyue's turn. Just as Shen Liyue was about to speak, she heard a male voice next to her.

"Cousin, do you like this? How about I buy it for her?"

Hearing this voice, Shen Liyue felt as nauseous as if she had eaten a fly.

Oh no, it's still that disgusting feeling, like taking a bite of a steamed bun and finding there's only half a fly in it.

In fact, Shen Liyue had already guessed that they were still intent on doing something evil and were going to do something.

When I went out in the morning, I saw He Yinxue's personal maid Meng'er staring at me furtively. It turned out that she was waiting here.

A hint of ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Chen Liyue's mouth. "I never thought I would meet my cousin here today. What a coincidence."

"This is what they call destined to meet each other despite being thousands of miles apart." He Zhen quickly replied.

He Zhen looked at Shen Liyue in front of him. Today she was dressed as a man, which added a touch of heroism to her.

Before, he had only seen Chen Liyue wearing women's clothing, which had already made him fascinated. Seeing her again today, the feeling was particularly different.

I saw that Shen Liyue's two curved eyebrows were deliberately drawn thicker, which made her eyes look particularly bright. The tip of her small nose was slightly upturned, and the mouth below was not painted with lipstick, but it was red without makeup.

He Zhen stared at him in a trance. Seeing him like this, Shen Liyue lowered her eyes in disgust.

It's a miracle that he could say that fate brought us together even though we were thousands of miles apart.

Shen Liyue curled the corners of her mouth and ignored He Zhen's words.

But He Zhen interpreted this scene differently. He just thought Shen Liyue was shy and thought she looked very cute.

He immediately wanted to go up and hold Shen Liyue's hand. He didn't know what it would feel like to hold those small, white, soft hands in his own hands.

Lian Dong saw that He Zhen wanted to take action, so he stepped forward unnoticed, blocked Shen Liyue behind him, and waved his handkerchief.

"Why are there so many mosquitoes in this hot weather? Don't let the young lady get bitten. The young lady has delicate skin and flesh, and a mosquito bite will cause a big swelling."

When Lian Dong waved his sword, He Zhen immediately cried out "Ouch".

It turned out that the handkerchief hit He Zhen's eyes exactly.

Lian Dong seemed to have just reacted and quickly apologized to He Zhen.

"I'm so sorry, young master. I just saw a mosquito and wanted to drive it away for you, but I accidentally hurt you. I apologize to you, young master. I hope you will forgive me and not hold it against me."

He Zhen covered one eye, tears streaming down his face from the pain. Just as he was about to explode, he looked through his other uninjured eye and saw a maidservant prostrating herself before him. Although her appearance was not as good as Shen Liyue's, her figure was also very good. He Zhen's mind moved. If he could marry Shen Liyue, her personal maidservant could naturally become his concubine in the future. He immediately gave up the thought and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem."

Chen Liyue smiled broadly, "My cousin is truly a magnanimous man. I admire him."

He Zhen just felt very happy in his heart. He had never thought about why Chen Liyue suddenly changed her attitude today. He still thought that he was extremely charming and regarded Chen Liyue as something in his pocket.

"It's almost noon, so why don't I invite Sister Yue'er to have lunch with the two sisters? Would you be willing to do me the honor?" He Zhen said.

Shen Liyue listened to He Zhen's incoherent speech, and the word "sister Yue'er" made her feel sick. There was no need to ask about the two sisters, of course they were referring to Lian Dong and Yu Zhou.

Shen Liyue felt disgusted, but she also wanted to see what He Zhen was up to. In addition, He Zhen had thoughts that he shouldn't have had time and again, and Shen Liyue couldn't let him go on like this. She had to put an end to his thoughts today, otherwise she didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause her in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Liyue smiled sweetly and said to He Zhen: "Today, my maid accidentally hurt my cousin, so I should treat my cousin to a meal to make amends."

He Zhen quickly said, "How can I ask my cousin to spend money? I have already booked a private room at Qinfang Tower and prepared a banquet. I am just waiting for my cousin to come."

Chen Liyue sneered. The Hongmen Banquet has been set up. Isn’t this just waiting for me to take the bait?

Chen Liyue suppressed her nausea and continued to smile at He Zhen, saying, "Thank you for taking the trouble, cousin. If you refuse, it would be Yue'er's fault. But there are differences between men and women after all. Why don't you go first, and Yue'er will follow."

According to He's original plan, He Zhen and Chen Liyue went to Qinfang Tower together, so that everyone could see that they were going there together. Then, during the meal, they would take the opportunity to drug Chen Liyue, and then have He Zhen help Chen Liyue out, and just tell others that Chen Liyue was drunk. As long as everyone saw Chen Liyue fall on He Zhen, then the matter would be confirmed. With so many eyes watching, it would be too late for Chen Liyue to regret it.

But He Zhen looked at Shen Liyue's pretty face at this moment and had already forgotten his aunt's instructions. When he heard that Shen Liyue agreed, He Zhen believed it and agreed immediately.

So what if we didn't go together, He Zhen thought, if he could stay in the wing room with Chen Liyue...

Is he still afraid that Shen Liyue can escape from his palm?
