Li Yuehuan forced herself to speak, and just when she thought there was no chance, her sister-in-law Xinyi agreed.
"Wife, do you really agree?"
Gu Shaokai asked one more question.
His wife was too forgiving, which made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.
"I agree, it's a good opportunity to test whether that boy is sincere towards Huanhuan."
She had heard Jingjing mention it several times; her sister-in-law was always naive, and her family was afraid she would be deceived.
After their conversation, Zhong Xinyi instantly grew to like Huanhuan's personality—free-spirited and unconventional.
"Sister-in-law Xinyi, thank you."
Li Yuehuan linked arms with her, and the two looked like a couple; Gu Shaokai was the exception.
"Brother Shen, something terrible has happened!"
Qin Sheng hurriedly pushed open the wooden door.
Inside the house, Zheng Lanxin held a bowl of medicine and craned her neck to look outside. "Ah Shen, is that Xiao Sheng?"
Lu Shen subconsciously frowned. Qin Sheng was so easily startled; he might bring some bad news again.
"Mom, take your medicine first, I'll go out and take a look."
Ah Shen somehow got hold of the medicine, and after taking it, Zheng Lanxin felt her body regain its strength.
Perhaps because he had never had a father, Ah Shen was an exceptionally sensible child, and he began to take care of her before he was even five years old.
Ah Shen has always been secretive. As his mother, she vaguely knew that her son was earning money outside, but he said he hadn't done anything illegal and told her to relax. So Zheng Lanxin turned a blind eye.
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic? Is there something wrong with that batch of goods?"
Lu Shen pulled Qin Sheng aside and asked in a low voice.
Qin Sheng was panting and silently shook his head. "Brother, you're so capable, there wasn't a single problem with that batch of goods. It was about your wife."
"What's wrong with Huanhuan?"
Lu Shen grabbed his arm and shook it.
"You said you didn't like her, but now look what's happened, she already has a boyfriend."
"What do you mean? Explain things more clearly."
Lu Shen's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.
After Qin Sheng calmed down, he said, "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on your sister-in-law? Today I saw her walking hand in hand with a man. When she saw me, she smiled, greeted me, and left."
The key point is that the man was just as good as Brother Shen, and he had a mature man's charm.
However, he didn't dare to say it directly, so he spoke in a roundabout way.
"Brother, it seems you've met your match."
Where did you see it?
Lu Shen swallowed the blood in his mouth, his eyes as cold as ice sculptures.
"The coffee shop right next to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lu Shen saw through him at a glance, "Just say what you have to say."
"I made some inquiries, and it seems he's also the owner of a coffee shop."
Everyone knows that the owner of that coffee shop has a business all over Huaicheng, and it can be said that he controls half of Huaicheng's economy.
Lu Shen knew he had met a formidable opponent; after all, not just anyone could be interested in that girl.
But he didn't believe that the girl had fallen for someone else so quickly.
Qin Sheng sighed, "Brother, why are women so fickle?"
Who's fickle?
Zheng Lanxin lifted the curtain and came out. The two men looked at her at the same time, their expressions strange, as if they were hiding something from her.
She turned her gaze to the innocent-looking Qin Sheng. "Sheng, why were you in such a hurry just now? Did something happen?"
Qin Sheng tensed up and subconsciously looked at Lu Shen.
Oh no, what should he say?
"Xiao Sheng, why are you looking at A Shen? Is there something you can't say?"
Qin Sheng smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Lan, didn't I go fishing with Brother Shen yesterday? Then they said we couldn't go today, so I got anxious."
Phew, thanks to his cleverness and resourcefulness, after all, fishing can make money.
"Ah Shen, is that so?"
"Mom, don't worry, we won't do anything bad."
Lu Shen comforted his mother, "You just took your medicine, go inside and rest for a bit. I'll go out for a bit, and I'll come back to cook lunch."
After Aunt Lan went inside, Qin Sheng walked up to Lu Shen and asked for credit, "Brother, wasn't I clever just now?"
Lu Shen's face was as dark as the clouds before a storm, his lips pressed tightly together. "You complete today's transaction. I'm going out for a bit."
"No, brother, it's such a big deal, I'm afraid I can't handle it myself."
If Brother Shen weren't by his side, he probably wouldn't have had that much courage.
“You can do it. I already agreed on the price yesterday. All you need to do is take the goods over. Remember, if the other party changes their mind, terminate the cooperation immediately.”
Lu Shen knew Qin Sheng's personality well; he wasn't weak, just a little lazy.
This kid is pretty smart; it's hard for others to get a good deal out of him. He's a typical tightwad.
Qin Sheng's inner thoughts: Bro, they're really generous to you.
"Brother, I will definitely complete the mission."
Qin Sheng clenched his fist to cheer himself up.
Li Yuehuan deliberately sat by the window and craned her neck to look outside, but there was no sign of Lu Shen at all.
Qin Sheng had clearly seen it, and given his personality, he would definitely go and complain to Lu Shen.
An hour passed, and Lu Shen still hadn't made a move. Had she guessed wrong?
"Girl, look how many cups of coffee you've already drunk?"
When she asked for her seventh cup of coffee, Gu Shaokai stopped her.
Li Yuehuan looked down at the empty cup on the table and felt a little embarrassed.
He let out a timely burp, "I think I'm full."
Gu Shaokai said helplessly, "Huanhuan, what if he doesn't show up today?"
Li Yuehuan hardened her heart and said, "Then...then I'll go to his house to find him."
