Shi Nian turned her head and looked out the window, and Li Youcai's face suddenly appeared in her sight.
She frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Why is he here?
Zheng Hai also heard the sound and looked out the window. Seeing a strange man, he asked in confusion, "Niannian, did you make an appointment with someone else?"
Shi Nian looked unhappy. "No, Mr. Zheng, please wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
She stood up and walked outside the cafe. Li Youcai had already reached the door.
Shi Nian blocked the door and prevented him from entering. She asked unhappily, "What are you doing here again? Haven't you spent enough time in the police station's detention room?"
Li Youcai's eyes were filled with anger. He snorted coldly, pointed at Zheng Hai in the cafe, and asked, "Who is he?"
"Who he is is none of your business. Get out of here!"
"Shi Nian, you cheated!"
Shi Nian said with disdain, "Can you please stop thinking about that when you see a man and a woman? We are friends!"
Li Youcai looked at her and said, "I don't believe in pure friendship between men and women. If you are not guilty, why are you blocking me from entering? Are you afraid that I will say something bad about you to him and tell him that you are married?"
Shi Nian rolled her eyes and said, "It's really hard to talk to someone like you who doesn't understand human language."
Her face turned cold, "Why did you come to me? If you want to talk about the mortgage, get out as soon as possible. I don't have any money to give you!"
Li Youcai curled his lips and crossed his arms, "Are you looking for a gold lock?"
Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Did Liu Chunyan tell you?"
Li Youcai did not answer her question, but stared at her, "I know where the lock is."
Shi Nian looked at him suspiciously, "Don't lie to me. Liu Chunyan had someone melt the gold lock nearly 20 years ago. She didn't even know your father at that time. How would you know that?"
Besides, she had already asked at a jewelry recycling store, and the owner had said that the lock had been melted.
She saw through Li Youcai's trick, curled her lips, and said coldly, "Oh, you haven't even seen what the lock looks like!"
Li Youcai's face changed slightly, "If I hadn't seen it, how could I come to see you?"
He rolled his eyes slightly, "I'll send your mother away, come back with me, and I'll show it to you."
Shi Nian sneered and looked at him coldly, "Words are not enough. You came to see me without bringing anything real, but you should have taken photos, right?"
"If you come home with me, you can see the real thing, right? Isn't the real thing more credible than a photo?"
"I'll go home with you, and then you can take the opportunity to do something to me, right? Li Youcai, don't think I don't know the dirty thoughts in your heart!"
She said impatiently, "Get out of here!"
Seeing that Shi Nian didn't respond, Li Youcai's patience gradually wore away.
He took a step forward, and Shi Nian suddenly punched him in the face without saying anything.
Li Youcai was caught off guard and was hit directly, with his head tilted to the side.
He covered his burning cheekbone, the disbelief in his eyes was quickly replaced by anger, "I gave you face! How dare you hit me!"
Shi Nian stared at him expressionlessly, "I told you, if you come to harass me again, I will beat you up every time I see you!"
Li Youcai caught a glimpse of the onlookers out of the corner of his eye, and his self-esteem was hurt, and he became furious in an instant.
He strode forward, knocked down Shi Nian's waving arm, and stretched out his hand to her.
Before he could touch Shi Nian's collar, a large hand came in and clamped it tightly.
Zheng Hai looked serious, "Miss Shi, do you need help?"
Li Youcai tried to break free but failed, and he knew that the man in front of him was not someone he could easily mess with.
Reluctance appeared in his eyes, and he pointed his other finger in front of Shi Nian, "Brother, you've been deceived by this woman! She is fickle and unruly. She is restless even after marriage and has affairs everywhere. You are hers too..."
Shi Nian's eyes were burning with anger. He picked up the phone, put it in front of him, and interrupted angrily, "Li Youcai, if you have the guts, say the rumors you just made up again in front of the camera!"
Li Youcai shrank his neck, his voice stopped abruptly, and he glared at her resentfully.
The sound of sirens came closer and closer. Shi Nian was stunned when she saw the police car parked in front of the coffee shop.
Li Youcai struggled hard to break free, but his arms were still held tightly by Zheng Hai.
When he saw the policeman getting off the car, he angrily scolded Shi Nian, "I came here with good intentions to tell you about Jinsuo, but you called the police because of what I did! You are addicted to calling the police!"
He warned the police officer who was walking over, "Police comrade, this little girl is making a false report!"
Shi Nian did not call the police.
She was wondering when Zheng Hai suddenly stepped forward and said, "I called the police. This man was harassing this girl in the street, but I stopped him in time."
After some negotiations between the two parties, the police found Li Youcai's criminal record, educated him, and sent him away.
Li Youcai's face was grim. He passed by Shi Nian and swept his cold and hateful eyes over her. He said in a low and hoarse voice, gritting his teeth, "Shi Nian, I'll wait for the day when you come to find me!"
Zheng Hai frowned and walked towards him.
Li Youcai glanced at him, and left angrily at the urging of the police.
Shi Nian frowned slightly, staring at Li Youcai's back.
He swore so confidently, could he not be lying?
If he didn't lie, then it was Liu Chunyan and the shop owner who lied.
She wouldn't doubt that Liu Chunyan lied, but how could the store owner lie?
At that time, my thoughts were in a mess and I couldn't make sense of them.
Zheng Hai sent the police away. Seeing Shi Nian still looking seriously at the direction where Li Youcai left, he consoled her, "Miss Shi, don't worry. That person probably won't dare to come again for a while. If we finish our chat later, I'll accompany you back to the community."
Shi Nian was brought back to reality by Zheng Hai's voice. She retracted her gaze and looked at him.
She felt bad. "Mr. Zheng, thank you for what I said just now. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. He is the child of my mother's second husband. Legally, he is my brother... He has some mental problems. Don't take what he said just now to heart."
"Don't worry, I won't."
When they returned to the coffee shop, Zheng Hai had already read her handwritten plan and pointed out several areas that could be improved.
Shi Nian asked humbly and everything became clear.
"Miss Shi, I'll help you post an advertisement in the adoption group when I get back."
Zheng Hai hesitated. "You are the only one in your online store. If there are too many orders, can you handle it? If you look for someone else, will it be too late?"
"No, my sister can help me."
Shi Nian sighed, "I also hope to have more customers, so that I can provide work for my sister and relieve her financial pressure."
Zheng Hai asked, "Is your sister looking for a job?"
Shi Nian nodded. "She used to be a full-time housewife at home, and her husband gave her all the money she needed for living. Although Zhang Jiahao got into trouble, she will definitely win the divorce lawsuit and get compensation, but before the procedures are completed and the compensation is paid, her children still have to go to school, and they have to spend money to live on."
Zheng Hai's mind moved slightly, "Miss Shi, if your sister is willing, she can come to work in my company."
