"Master, are we really going to see General Cheng?" Bai Lu asked.
She felt that the general was not quite right in the head, and that the master could have simply avoided seeing him!
They're not that important, why bother with them!
Since you've already saved me once, instead of just empty words, you should express your gratitude in a practical way.
Bai Lu had no idea that Su Nanxi had known Cheng Yanming for a long time. At that time, she had not yet met Su Nanxi, nor had she met Cheng Yanming later. She thought they had only known each other for a short time, and he seemed unreliable, so she was very worried.
While looking at the book in her hand, Su Nanxi replied, "Go ahead! Don't worry, this isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. I saved him once before."
She suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that every time I meet him, I'm either on my way to save him or saving him! Could it be that I'm specifically there to save him? Sigh! He's lucky; whenever he meets me, he always manages to turn misfortune into good fortune!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu realized that it was an acquaintance.
I can't help but sigh, what incredible luck! He looked like he was about to die. If it had been any later, who knows what might have happened? He might have really passed away there!
I've heard that military generals aren't particularly bright; they can be tricked without even realizing it. That seems to make some sense.
General Cheng seemed like a talented person, but I never expected that he would still be ambushed. He was able to go to that desolate place, so he definitely didn't go there on his own. He was probably guided there by someone!
Sigh, being too straightforward isn't a good thing either!
The officialdom is a battlefield without smoke; everyone is a smiling tiger, wearing a mask, and you have no idea what the other person really looks like!
If you're not careful, you'll really get ambushed and die without even knowing how!
If Cheng Yanming knew he was being evaluated like this, he would be furious. Why isn't he thinking straight?
Those were all accidents, okay?
He had already predicted the possible consequences, but he didn't expect it to be the worst!
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. He couldn't do as he pleased anymore, and getting out wasn't going to be easy!
He was already quite good at getting information out of the other party and finding out who had plotted against him!
At least he knows who wants to get rid of him, so even if he dies, he can rest in peace!
If Su Nanxi knew, she would definitely call Bai Lu to beat up Cheng Yanming!
Too slow!
Something's wrong, you should immediately find a way to retreat!
Su Nanxi followed the code and went to the appointment, thinking she was quite early, but unexpectedly Cheng Yanming was even earlier than her!
"Good morning, Lord Cheng!"
"What sir! There are no sirs here. You can call me Uncle Cheng! Let's not stand on ceremony! Come, come, sit down! I'm a rough man, so my manners might not be very good. Please don't laugh at me!"
Su Nanxi smiled, sat down, and actually called out "Uncle Cheng".
He's so much older than her, but not exactly an old man, so calling him "uncle" wouldn't be wrong.
If other people don't mind, why should she?
After exchanging a few pleasantries and showing concern for each other, the conversation eventually turned to Su Nanxi.
"Girl, when did you arrive in the capital? Are you adapting to the pace of life there? The capital looks extravagant and luxurious, like a paradise on earth, but not everyone can do well there! If you have any difficulties, Uncle Cheng can help you if I can, so don't hesitate to ask! Although I'm not doing very well myself, I've been in this business for a while and figured out the patterns, so I have some experience!"
Cheng Yanming patted his chest, looking like he could protect people.
It's quite touching to see.
Su Nanxi gently put down her teacup and said unhurriedly, "I haven't been here long, but I'm getting used to it! The capital is indeed a joyful world. I'm just a nobody, so naturally I don't dare to have too many unrealistic expectations. Without unrealistic thoughts, there's nothing I can't adapt to! I thank you for your kindness, Uncle Cheng! If I can't make it here anymore, and the Beggars' Sect won't take me in, I hope Uncle Cheng won't kick me out too!"
Cheng Yanming laughed heartily. This ugly girl really knows how to joke. However, she seems to be a practical child who knows that she shouldn't have any improper thoughts. She is quite self-disciplined and clear-headed!
Su Nanxi answered half-jokingly, not completely refusing.
If things aren't going well for you, ask him for help. Having more people to help you is never a bad thing!
Cheng Yanming felt that this girl was very much to his liking. She was not coy, nor did she take advantage of his kindness. She even refused to mention the fact that she had saved him. She was a good girl!
So in the end, he wanted to give Su Nanxi a gift, whatever Su Nanxi suggested, as long as he could do it!
Su Nanxi thought for a moment, "You really want to give me a gift? This is too sudden. I haven't thought about it yet. Can I owe you one? I'll tell you when I've thought it through!"
Cheng Yanming chuckled and said, "Sure! No problem!"
It's just a gift; as long as it's not excessive, he's happy to give it.
Before leaving, Su Nanxi still didn't mention the life-saving grace, but Cheng Yanming himself couldn't hold back. How could this girl be so calm?
Why don't you mention it at all? Don't you know how great the favor is?
You can get a lot of things from him!
Could it be that you're embarrassed to bring it up, worried that he might suspect or overthink it?
Or is it that his life is worthless, not worth mentioning?
That's really puzzling!
Su Nanxi saw through his thoughts. "Uncle Cheng, are you wondering why I didn't even mention saving you?"
Cheng Yanming paused for a moment, then nodded.
That's right, that's what he wanted to know.
"Uncle Cheng, don't worry. It was just a coincidence that I saved you. I couldn't just walk away without helping you! You don't need to feel too guilty. I won't ask for anything in return. However, if I ever encounter difficulties in the future, I hope you can help me out, considering that I saved you. That would be great!"
"Of course! Uncle Cheng also said that if there are any difficulties, he will do his best to help! But this doesn't apply to acts of betraying one's country or breaking the law!"
"He doesn't seem like a bad person to me at all, so why would he let Uncle Cheng do bad things!"
After returning home, Cheng Yanming took stock of his family's assets to see what kind of gift he could afford to give away. He figured that ugly girl didn't seem to come from an ordinary family, and she definitely wouldn't be interested in anything ordinary!
No matter what you give as a gift, it all has to be based on money!
I'm broke, so I'm not saying anything more!
After Su Nanxi returned, Bai Lu asked, "What kind of gift does Master want?"
She felt that her mistress didn't want the gift; she wanted a backup plan.
It's always better to have one more ally than one more enemy!
In a critical moment, someone with some influence might be a great help!
Su Nanxi looked profound and said, "Well, I'm still thinking about it."
I haven't decided yet!
Actually, she hadn't thought about any gift; it was just that the conversation flowed naturally, and she just kept talking about it.
However, I did consider seeking help.
She needs help!
"How about a soft whip, Master?"
