Chapter 349: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter
Mrs. Li continued to mock her for being ungrateful.
"Jiaojiao, Third Master is not someone you can ever reach. I advise you not to harbor any thoughts that shouldn't be harbored, or you might even end up losing your life someday..."
Before she finished speaking, the housekeeper, who had been standing at the door for a long time, finally couldn't help it and came in from the door with an embarrassed look and interrupted her.
"Madam, a guest has arrived."
Mrs. Li was interrupted by him and looked annoyed: "Who is so tactless?"
The butler's hair stood on end. He gritted his teeth, staring at the ground, and squeezed out a few words: "It's... the Third Master is here."
Mrs. Li paused in her anger and asked, "Are they here yet?"
"Just outside the door."
Madam Li: “…”
Her raging flames visibly died down, leaving not even a single flame.
Master Li was much calmer: "Please invite the Third Master in."
Si Jinnian didn't wait for the housekeeper to speak and walked in without any courtesy. As soon as he entered, he saw the woman sitting on the wooden chair.
Quan Jiu wore a wine-red cheongsam today, which made her look more charming and gorgeous than white. Her long curly hair was piled just right at the back of her waist, allowing people to see her plump and soft waist at a glance.
She saw Si Jinnian and secretly winked at him behind the backs of the elders.
Si Jinnian looked away from her face without changing his expression and sat down beside her.
"Why are you free to come here today, Third Master?"
"Just passing by, drop off something."
Si Jinnian is concise and to the point. As long as he can express his meaning clearly, he will never say a word more.
As the man spoke, his eyes glanced at Quan Jiu.
He heard everything Mrs. Li said. Such harsh words, but he didn't expect that this woman would just endure it with a smile.
The more Si Jinnian thought about it, the more upset he felt. This woman could even greet Madam Li with a smile, but she always had a cold face in front of him. He thought he had never done anything to make her angry.
Quan Jiu happened to turn her head and met her boss Jinnian's gaze. She smiled at him for the first time.
"Third Master, did you hear what Madam Li said just now?"
Mrs. Li didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring up this matter, and her face turned green.
Si Jinnian said in a low voice: "Yeah."
Quan Jiu smiled even more charmingly: "She said no one wants me."
Si Jinnian: “…”
"You also said that I was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh and was not worthy of you."
Si Jinnian: “…”
Quan Jiu picked up the teacup and poured him a cup of tea. She gently held it with her delicate hands and pushed it to his side. Her voice was as moving as the chirping of an oriole:
"I wonder if Jiaojiao is worthy of you, Third Master?"
After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Everyone was shocked by Quan Jiu's bold and straightforward question.
Is this even a fucking question?
Si Jinnian hates women playing tricks the most. Quan Jiu is acting like a spoiled child, so wouldn't he be furious?
Mr. Liu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to get Si Jinnian to spare her life.
The smile on Quan Jiu's face was seamless, but his fingertips pretended to be casual, tapping lightly on the heart, as if reminding him of something.
Si Jinnian lowered his eyes, realizing that she was reminding him not to forget the life-saving grace.
Seeing the silence, Madam Li jumped out and said:
"Jiaojiao, the most important thing for a woman is to know what's interesting. There are some questions that you are not allowed to ask given your status."
The Third Master remained silent for such a long time, obviously dissatisfied with her question.
Quan Jiu didn't retort, but just looked at Si Jinnian with a smile.
This can also be considered a test for her.
She never puts herself in a difficult position. If Si Jinnian doesn't help her, then she has no interest in getting entangled with him. She can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She will use all means to pursue the man she is interested in. On the contrary, she will kick out the man who makes her feel resentful.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Si Jinnian unhurriedly held the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and commented:
"The tea is good."
Mrs. Li frowned slightly. The tea was poured for him by Quan Jiu. She didn't know if it was a woman's natural intuition, but she always felt that what the Third Master really wanted to praise was not the tea, but the person who poured the tea.
Quan Jiu looked at his empty white porcelain teacup, showing no intention of taking any further action:
"Pour it yourself when you're done."
Si Jinnian was inexplicably given the cold shoulder by her and felt a little amused.
The woman was so stingy. He didn't say he wouldn't help her, so why did she suddenly get angry?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't pour himself any more tea. He glanced sideways at Madam Li and Master Li.
"Miss Liu is well-known in Jincheng for her knowledge and good manners, and I, Si, am just a rough man who wields swords and guns. How can we talk about whether we are worthy or not?"
Don't be too partial in these words.
Considering that she blocked a bullet for him, he reluctantly helped her.
Mr. Li's expression finally changed a little, and he looked between Quan Jiu and Si Jinnian with surprise.
His Li family and the Si family have some relationship. This is the first time he has seen Si Jinnian take the initiative to protect a woman.
Upon hearing that Si Jinnian was visiting, Li Yang, who had rushed to the front hall, was stunned by the word "Miss Liu". He looked up at Si Jinnian in disbelief, with an expression of an innocent boy who had been deceived by a scumbag.
Didn’t Third Master say last time that he didn’t know her name?!
But judging by the way the Third Master defended her, it was clear that they knew each other very well!
Li Yang's heart was broken into pieces.
"Li Yang is here too."
Quan Jiu was the first to notice Li Yang standing outside the door.
Li Yang nodded and looked at her with a complicated look.
The person he had been looking for for so long turned out to be his nominal fiancée. Thinking of Quan Jiu's heroic feat of knocking out two strong men with a brick, and then thinking of everyone's reputation for her being "well-educated and well-mannered", Li Yang suddenly felt that if he was lucky enough to marry her, his married life would surely be very exciting.
001: I think there’s something wrong with the way he looks at you.
Quan Jiu said calmly: I know.
001: ? ?
Quan Jiu: When my son looks at his dad, his eyes are full of stars.
001: ………
It's really speechless. His mother opened the door to speechlessness, and he was speechless at home.
As soon as Si Jinnian saw Li Yang enter the room, he glanced at Quan Jiu and frowned slightly.
Has the son of the Li family never seen a woman abroad?
Why is Liu Jiaojiao always like this every time I see her?
"Since the things have been delivered, I'll leave first." Si Jinnian didn't want to stay any longer.
When he stood up, he glanced at Quan Jiu's position very slightly. Quan Jiu inexplicably understood what he meant and stood up as well.
"The marriage must be cancelled. Master Li, please think about it carefully. Jiaojiao, take your leave."
She stood side by side with Si Jinnian, and at first glance, the two of them seemed to be a good match.
It was this small action that inexplicably made Si Jinnian happy. He rarely had a cold expression on his face and walked out with Quan Jiu. Upon closer inspection, his steps were a little slower than usual.
When they reached the door, there were only two of them left. Si Jinnian looked at the bustling street and asked casually.
"Why do you want to cancel the engagement?"
