The shopkeeper was very perceptive. Whenever Xu Wanying's gaze lingered for even a moment longer, he would take the initiative to introduce the item. And each time he did so, Li Chunlan would always say at the opportune moment, "I'll take this one."
In the end, Xu Wanying was too embarrassed to look anymore and could only look helplessly at Li Chunlan: "Sister-in-law, I was just curious, I didn't really want it. If you keep buying like this, I really don't dare to look anymore."
"It's alright, this whole street is part of my dowry, it didn't cost me anything," Li Chunlan said casually.
Xu Wanying was stunned, completely bewildered.
[Ahhh, in the bustling city of Wangjing, to have an entire street of shops as dowry, the Marquis of Zhongyi's family has truly married a golden girl!]
The system promptly corrected her: [Host, it's not just one street, it's six streets. If the Li family hadn't been afraid of attracting attention, they would have prepared even more shops. In the end, fearing they might offend some royalty, they switched to cash.]
Xu Wanying's eyes immediately reddened, not out of jealousy, but because she had never seen so much money before and was simply excited.
"I'm sorry, sir, we have a special guest who has booked the entire venue today, so we are unable to accommodate you at the moment."
A customer was about to come in, and the waiter quickly stopped him at the door.
"Huh?" Li Chunlan said with some curiosity, and immediately called out, "It's nothing, please invite that guest in."
The waiter immediately chased after him, returning a moment later and bowing apologetically: "Madam, that guest left too quickly; when I went out to look for him, he was already gone."
"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Do you know the people from earlier?" Xu Wanying asked.
She had just heard Li Chunlan's surprised voice and still looked astonished, which suggested that the guest had been unusual.
"No, I must have mistaken you. I thought it was an old acquaintance." Li Chunlan waved her hand.
Xu Wanying nodded, not taking it seriously, and continued to look down at the jewelry.
The system, not wanting to be left out, popped up: [Host, guess who that male guest was? There's a huge secret involved!]
Xu Wanying immediately frowned, saying irritably, "System, every time you say that, it means you're trying to fool me about my power again. What earth-shattering secret could it be? Who was that man just now? Was he my sister-in-law's mistress, or a prince from the royal family who had been living away from home?"
The system stammered, "[While neither of these applies, this man's identity is truly a huge secret; you'll definitely be interested to hear it.]"
[Ha, you're just bragging. Since it's not what I guessed, it's not some earth-shattering secret. Go cool off somewhere else!]
When Li Chunlan heard the question from Shenqi, she was a little nervous, but when she saw that her third sister-in-law was not interested in men, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but crane her neck to look outside, trying to find out where the man from earlier had gone, and whether he was the one she suspected.
