"Okay, big brother will accompany you."
"Thank you, brother."
Su Zhihui was very happy, and even the tiredness on her face was reduced a little. This time going back to Beijing for the New Year was not fun at all, and she didn't want to go again.
She had no hope that Chen Li would be here, but what if she happened to meet her here?
Unexpectedly, she really got lucky.
As soon as the two of them walked in, a maid came to greet them. Before they could say anything, Su Zhihui asked, "Is your boss here?"
The maid's smile remained unchanged as she asked respectfully, "Sir, are you acquainted with our host?"
Su Zhihui's eyes lit up a little, it really was there!
"I'm her friend, my last name is Su, go talk to her."
"And you?"
Su Heng pointed to a seat nearby and said, "Let's wait there for a while."
"Then please."
Su Zhihui was happy and ordered a lot of snacks before Chen Li came downstairs.
"Ali!"
Su Zhihui lifted the hem of her skirt and ran to Chen Li in small steps, "It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"
Chen Li smiled and nodded to Su Heng behind her before saying, "Do you miss me, or the snacks in my shop, or the flowers and plants in my room?"
Su Zhihui blushed slightly, and stretched out her hand to gesture, "I have everything, but there are only a few others. I still miss you the most."
As they were talking, Chen Li pulled her upstairs. Su Heng, who was behind them, was also asked to leave. Su Zhihui had long forgotten about her elder brother.
The two walked hand in hand, talking and laughing as they entered the room on the top floor. When this shop was bought, Chen Li had already planned it as an office, and even put a bed inside for rest.
“It’s still comfortable to be back here!”
Chen Li picked up the teacup and poured him a cup of hot tea. Hearing this, she asked, "Don't you like the capital?"
"Not really. The capital is pretty good. My grandparents and my family treat me very well. It's just that I'm not used to it yet. The winter there is too dry. Also, I haven't seen my sisters for years, so I'm not very familiar with them and can't really talk to them."
As he spoke, he patted his chest in fear and said, "Fortunately, that man blew it himself, otherwise, if he really had to marry in the capital, I don't think I would be able to bear it."
The capital city was the center of imperial rule. There were countless powerful people there. A coin thrown on the street could hit a high-ranking official.
Of course, the most important thing is that the capital city pays attention to etiquette, and she herself knows that her etiquette is good, but her parents and brothers love her, and she has many flaws in her character, which makes her unsuitable for living in such a complicated place.
If I really go to the capital, if I accidentally offend someone, I will probably be cheated to the point of being left with nothing.
Chen Li just listened to what she said and did not express any opinion.
However, Ah Hui does have a very clear understanding of herself, which is extremely rare for a pampered young lady.
"So you're rushing back today to spend the Lantern Festival with your uncle and aunt?"
"Yeah, Ali, why are you here too?"
At this time, a maid came in with a few plates of snacks. After the maid left, Su Zhihui put aside her reserved and elegant demeanor in front of outsiders and started to eat the snacks.
"I'll bring them here to see the Lantern Festival and then go back in two days."
"Oh, the Lantern Festival in Suzhou is pretty good," Su Zhihui said as she moved closer to Chen Li. "My cousin even said that she wanted me to stay in Beijing and come back after watching the Lantern Festival, but I refused."
Chen Li also pinched a piece of dessert, "The Lantern Festival in the capital should be more lively."
"That's right, but I don't want to stay there. Well, let's not talk about this. I brought you a gift, but I don't have it with me. I'll give it to you when you get back."
"Okay, then I won't be polite!"
Su Zhihui's face was full of smiles. "Don't be polite. You don't know, my grandmother loves your flower pot. She gave her more New Year's money than others."
Su Zhihui stayed here for half an hour before she and her brother got up and went home.
Chen Li also went back and bought a cute tiger lantern for Shen Mochi on the way.
There were many carriages and pedestrians on the street today. As this place was not far from the Chen residence, Chen Li did not take a carriage. Instead, she walked on the street carrying a lantern to experience the hustle and bustle of the day firsthand.
Just as he was about to enter the alley of the Shen residence, he stopped.
This place is two streets away from the provincial residence. This small alley divides this place into two worlds, forming a sharp contrast with the alley and the mansions inside the alley.
One world is bright and beautiful, while the other world is full of darkness.
Chen Li had heard people say that this was the best place to resolve issues in Suzhou City.
The reason is simple: there is a large flow of people in this alley, and people from all walks of life are mixed. They seem to be ordinary people with no background, but this is not the case.
Chen Li stood there for two seconds. She had just seen Mo Qing go in, followed by a lot of people.
Those people walked lightly and steadily, and it was obvious that they were martial artists.
Mo Qing has some good kung fu skills, which are more than enough to deal with street thugs on weekdays, but it is obviously not enough to deal with these people.
After thinking about it, Chen Li walked in. There was still time, so it would be okay to go and take a look. Besides, it would be a good deal to make the miracle doctor owe her a favor, right?
Unlike the clean and bright streets outside, it is dark and damp here, and there are many unidentified objects on the ground.
Mo Qing naturally noticed that someone was following him. He would not dare to attack these people on the street, but this time, it seemed that there were many accomplices who forced him into this alley.
I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today!
There were many of them, but Mo Qing did not refuse. As a miracle doctor, how could he not have the ability to protect himself?
Even though his martial arts skills are not that good, he is a doctor, and since he knows medicine, he naturally knows poisons.
He hurriedly avoided the passers-by and tried to walk towards the crowded area. After a while, he was forced into a narrow corridor by a group of people.
Looking at the people on both sides, he calmly brushed off his sleeves and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do by following you?"
"Doctor Mo, you should know,"
A young man in the lead said that he looked very ordinary, but his eyes were fierce, and it was obvious that he was not a simple character.
Mo Qing had a distant smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Mo didn't know."
"Doctor Mo, there's no need to play dumb. Hand over the ambergris you got from our hall, otherwise..."
Mo Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of provocation, "What else..."
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Otherwise, Dr. Mo might not be able to walk out of this alley safely today."
Mo Qing had a mocking smile on his face. "Why, you guys don't acknowledge the deal you made?"
