I didn't want to marry Zhan Hengyi, I just wanted to have a relationship. However, he rejected me, so whatever!
Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss. I don't want to study abroad for the time being. If I change my mind one day, I will tell you. "
Xu Yun became even more worried when she heard this. "Cheng Cheng, just dating without getting married? That won't do. After all, the girl will be the one who suffers."
Nan Chengcheng coaxed her parents for a long time before they stopped worrying.
When she went to bed at night, she thought about Zhan Hengyi and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Oh, the young marshal is really hard to pursue, so why not just give up?
-
The next day, Situ Wangsheng came to the Nan family again early in the morning for breakfast.
Uncle Zhang cooked sweet potato porridge, made egg pancakes, and served some light cold dishes. Situ Wangsheng's appetite increased greatly. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
After Nan Chengcheng finished dressing up, she went out with Situ Wangsheng.
She accompanied him in horse racing and helped him escape a disaster. Situ Wangsheng also introduced her to the owner of the decoration company as agreed and took her to meet him the next day.
The agreed meeting place was the Nanshan Tavern bought by Nan Chengheng.
It was a while after Nan Chengcheng and the others arrived that Mr. Ma, the boss of the decoration company, finally arrived.
Boss Ma also brought a gloomy-looking young girl with him. She looked quite childish, but she dressed very maturely, had her hair permed, and wore a brightly colored peony cheongsam. She looked rather odd.
"Boss Ma, long time no see." Situ Wangsheng shook hands with him.
In the early days of Ma Fumin's business, when the company was in the most difficult period, it was Situ Wangsheng's family who believed in him and gave him a big order, which gave his business a good start and provided him with funds to continue operating.
Ma Fumin has always been grateful to the Situ family, so from then on, whenever the Situ family came to him for renovation work, he would charge half price.
Nan Chengcheng first showed Boss Ma around the lower three floors of the pub, and then explained his own renovation plan: "The first three floors will all be Chinese-style teahouses.
The first floor imitates the style of Tang Dynasty, the second floor imitates the style of Song Dynasty, and the third floor is used as private rooms and offices.
..."
Ma Fumin observed the layout while measuring the dimensions of the house with a ruler.
At this time, the girl he brought with him impatiently tugged at his clothes and said, "Hurry up, give me money and I'll leave. I don't want to work here with you."
If you don’t give it to me, I won’t let you work.”
Ma Fumin looked at Situ Wangsheng and the others awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, this is my sister." He pulled his sister aside and said angrily, "Wait until I'm done. I'll take you to school and watch you go in.
When you get to school, I will naturally give you living expenses."
"No, I'm already fifteen. I don't want to study. What right do you have to control me? If you tell me not to study, I won't ask you for money." The girl was arrogant and had a very arrogant attitude.
Ma Fumin was so angry that he was shaking. "Ma Yan'er, if you don't study and don't ask me for money, who will support you? Your group of tiger friends and dog friends? Who are they? If you hang out with them, you will regret it later.
They are all nondescript!"
Ma Yaner was so angry that she pushed Ma Fumin's shoulder and said, "If you say that about my friend again, I will cut off all ties with you. Anyway, our parents died a long time ago, and when you get married in the future, we brothers and sisters will all go our separate ways."
"Your friends taught you all these things, didn't they? You're amazing! I'm your brother!"
…
The quarrel between the brother and sister became more and more fierce, and Ma Yaner hit Ma Fumin several times.
Situ Wangsheng couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stop the fight.
Nan Chengcheng looked at Ma Yaner's face for a while and then pulled him back.
Nan Chengcheng said to Ma Yaner, "Sister, no matter how angry you are, don't fight with your brother. During the years when you were missing, he never gave up and traveled all over the place to find you. This was by no means easy.
You're angry because your brother doesn't understand you. That's easy. I'll teach you a way to identify the people around you."
Ma Yan'er looked Nan Chengcheng up and down, "Who are you? Why did Ma Fumin tell you about my family? Are you my future sister-in-law?"
What makes you like him?"
Nan Chengcheng said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. I can tell by looking at your brother and sister's faces."
"Charlatan?" Ma Yan'er sneered disdainfully, "You're so awesome, you don't even need birth dates to tell fortunes? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?!"
Nan Chengcheng curled her lips and said, "You can tell the quality of a melon by its shape, color, and texture.
You can tell whether a horse is a good colt or a bad one by looking at its eyes, the color of its fur and its body shape. The same is true for people.
You are a person of the roadside soil. Although the hearing official is close to you, your body is far away. It is said that your land and house were damaged. You were born in a happy ordinary merchant family. Your parents died early and you were abducted by human traffickers. You were found by your only brother after you were ten years old.
Your eyeballs are bulging and cannot be hidden, and your tear troughs are sunken. It shows that during the years you were lost, you were afraid of being poor and extremely lacking in security. Now you want to get close to a rich family, that is, to marry a rich man, and you are willing to pay a price for this.
Your eyebrows are like a crescent moon, full at the beginning and the end, and soft. You should be a gentle and polite girl with dignified behavior, who will have a good marriage and children for the rest of her life. But you insisted on trimming your eyebrows into drooping eyebrows. In this way, you have changed your fate.
You now think you have met a good person you can rely on, but you don’t know that person is the one who ruins your life.
You two should have made an appointment to meet tomorrow. I see that your wealth palace is slightly weakened, so he should ask you to borrow money tomorrow."
"You, you..." Ma Yan'er said in disbelief, "No, it must be my brother who told you about our family."
Ma Fumin was shocked. "Miss Nan, you, you just looked at our faces and calculated everything about us siblings? Miss Nan, you are really an expert. I want to ask you to save my sister.
If you can help her turn over a new leaf, I won't charge you for the design, you only need to pay for the materials, and I'll decorate this teahouse until you're satisfied."
Wow, Nan Chengcheng felt so happy, that’s how good the relationship was.
Nan Chengcheng nodded. "Okay, Mr. Ma, I see that you are a decent person with a pure and honest heart. I am willing to help your sister."
"You and my brother are acting in unison, right?" Ma Yan'er still didn't believe it.
Nan Chengcheng said, "Your brother will give you money later, and you can go meet that person.
At that time, if he says he has something to do in the afternoon, you should do as I say and go to Huaxing Global Department Store. Dress up in disguise and don't let him recognize you.
When you go there and see him, you will forget everything."
Ma Fumin trusted Nan Chengcheng very much, so he took out some money and said, "One hundred dollars, take it."
Ma Yaner took the money and left angrily, feeling uneasy.
-
After finishing his work at noon, Situ Wangsheng treated everyone to a meal.
During the dinner, Situ Wangsheng said to Nan Chengcheng, "Today is the tenth anniversary of Huaxing Global Department Store. There will be fashion shows, performances, and all kinds of new products on sale. Let's go shopping." Huaxing Global Department Store belongs to the Zhan family.
