Daming Junior Scholar

Shopkeeper Fang's body couldn't help shaking slightly, the muscles on his face seemed uncontrollable, and he couldn't see what kind of expression he had at this time.

"Grandpa, I really don't understand what you are talking about. Isn't it just the greedy money, I will pay it back even if I go bankrupt."

"That's what you owe the Chen family, of course you have to pay it back." He Jiaan suddenly stood up, came to the shopkeeper Fang and squatted down, staring at the shopkeeper Fang's eyes like a falcon, and his voice was so cold that it was not like a human voice : "I've given you the opportunity, if you don't grasp it, it's your own business."

Chen Yueying couldn't understand that it was He Jiaan who wanted to send her away, so she hesitated for a while, looked at Shopkeeper Fang who kept begging her, then looked at He Jiaan, gritted her teeth and said, "I...understand."

Chapter 41 A knife in the back

At this time, Chen Yueying's heart was extremely complicated.

What He Jiaan did in the room, even if she didn't use her brain, she could probably guess it. It was nothing more than extorting a confession by torture. However, there is still a big doubt about this matter, that is, is there any so-called behind-the-scenes behind Shopkeeper Fang? People, this is what I want to know most.

The decline of the Chen family was comprehensive. Almost overnight, all the shops of the Chen family had problems. This inn is a typical example. It only took a few months to turn from a profitable business to a money-losing business. buy and sell.

What worries Chen Yueying the most is the other shops. If those shopkeepers are all like shopkeeper Fang, what should I do?Or check one by one?What if they ran away before I found out?

Chen Yueying was a little restless downstairs, but the upstairs room was eerily silent. Even if someone yelled, she thought it was normal, but there was no sound at all.

Almost a moment later, the upstairs door suddenly rang, and when Chen Yueying looked up curiously, she met He Jiaan's gaze.

"Sanggong, are you...are you alright?" Chen Yueying went up to meet He Jiaan, who had a terribly gloomy expression, and asked worriedly.

He Jiaan looked at her with strange eyes, which seemed to contain a lot of information. After a while, he finally said slowly: "Leave the rest to the housekeeper. I'm a little tired. Let's go home first."

At this time... go home?

Looking at He Jiaan's slightly tired face, Chen Yueying nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

On the way back, the carriage was eerily silent, and the voices of pedestrians on the street could be heard intermittently, but it was even more annoying.

The embarrassment when He Jiaan got into the carriage the day before yesterday seems to be still in front of him, but now the relationship between the two has become much more harmonious. It is said that the husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes, but He Jiaan, who has always been calm, has given Chen Yueying a little difference I was secretly looking forward to the feeling, maybe this time the Chen family could escape this catastrophe.

The carriage stopped at the door of Chen's house, but He Jiaan who was sitting outside had no intention of getting out of the car. If he didn't get down, Chen Yueying who was sitting inside couldn't get down. After taking a look at He Jiaan, she understood that He Jiaan You should have something to tell yourself.

"Xiao Zhao, you go in first." Chen Yueying waved her hand and drove the others away.

It was almost noon, and the sun shone through the car window into the carriage, making it too warm to move. After waiting for a while, He Jiaan finally spoke slowly: "Su Hongxiu...do you know him?"

"Sister Su?" Chen Yueying answered with a puzzled expression, then her eyes widened suddenly as if realizing something: "You mean... the person behind the scenes is Su Hongxiu?"

When Chen Yueying realized that she had shifted her suspicious gaze to Su Hongxiu, she immediately thought of all the things that had happened in the past six months. She and Su Hongxiu were just ordinary friends before, that is, in the past year she and herself Suddenly, the relationship with him has developed by leaps and bounds, and he invites himself to some parties when he has nothing to do, and shares some little secrets in his heart with him, just like the closest friend.

But if all her actions are aimed at numbing herself... then she is simply too terrifying.

After saying this, Chen Yueying's body seemed to be frozen, and she sat there motionless, even her eyes were dull, staring in one direction, until she had confirmed in her heart that the one who did it to her When the guy was Su Hongxiu, a tear flowed silently from his eye socket.

"Actually, you don't need to be so anxious. This is just one side of the shopkeeper Fang's words. In case..."

"No chance." Before He Jiaan finished speaking, Chen Yueying gave a bleak smile, shaking her head while explaining: "It must be hers. In fact, I should have noticed in the past six months. She said that her family's business is not easy to do. , I wanted to learn how to do business with me, so I took her there, I took her to those inns, restaurants, almost every store in Chen Ji."

"She talked a lot to those shopkeepers. I thought she just wanted to be like me and support the whole family. Now it seems that I was wrong. She clearly took this opportunity to get to know those shopkeepers, and then took advantage of me not paying attention. Time to hit me hard."

"I'm so stupid to treat this kind of person as my closest friend. The Chen family is ruined by me."

Chen Yueying's voice gradually became lower and lower, and after her eyes drooped for a while, they finally stopped, but the emptiness in her eyes made He Jiaan feel distressed for a while, when Chen Yueying remained motionless like a statue, he suddenly interjected: "Actually , it’s not impossible.”

It was obvious that the dead air in Chen Yueying's eyes suddenly lit up, only to darken again after a while, and she muttered: "It's useless, there is only one way to save the Chen family, and that is money, but the money in the Chen family is all It has already been spent, and at this time, who is willing to lend the money to the Chen family."

Money is indeed the best way to solve the problem, but since Su Hongxiu has already started planning, he will also take the Chen family's family property into consideration. These days, the Chen family's business has become sluggish, so there may be Su Hongxiu in it shadow.

After hesitating for a while, He Jiaan suddenly made a bold move, stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Yueying's wrist, then pulled it out and said, "Come with me."

"What are you doing?" When someone grabbed her wrist suddenly, and it was still grabbed by a man, Chen Yueying suddenly turned pale with shock. Although she said that this man was her favorite, she was not prepared in her heart to be pulled by him. The moment I lived, the first thing I thought of was struggle.

"Do you want to save the Chen family?" He Jia'an didn't expect that the struggling woman would have such strength. He himself jumped off the carriage, but Chen Yueying still stayed on the carriage, pulling her back vigorously with her wrist. Then, when he heard He Jiaan's words, his strength suddenly disappeared.

Chen Yueying was dumbfounded, because she suddenly realized something in her heart. Just now, He Jiaan was asking herself if she wanted to save the Chen family. Of course she wanted to, but she was at her wit's end. Could there be another way for him?

When thinking about this in her mind, Chen Yueying was a little excited, but when her eyes met He Jiaan's aggressive and hot eyes, her heart suddenly turned cold. Although she didn't understand, she could tell the difference. It turned out that He Jiaan's eyes were the kind of eyes a man looks at a woman, and she immediately understood why He Jiaan was so dedicated to helping herself and the Chen family. It turned out that what he wanted was... herself.

"Of course, but before saving the Chen family, you have to do one thing with me first." With a confident smile on his face, He Jiaan pulled Chen Yueying hard again, the power of rejection disappeared.

Chapter 42 The Drinking Mantra

The servants of the Chen family are used to seeing their eldest lady's cold and frosty appearance, but they have never seen such a gaffe like today. He Jia'an held her little hand in a daze, almost like the way ghosts walk in legends. Walked into the mansion.

Not long after, a small courtyard appeared in front of her. Chen Yueying recognized that this courtyard was the new house when she and He Jiaan got married. She escaped on the wedding day, but fate still sent her here. Chen Yueying thought again No luck, tears came out again.

Sure enough, He Jiaan's purpose was here. He Jiaan, who was a little excited, didn't notice the tears of the woman behind him. Hui said casually: "You get ready first, I'll be right back."

Prepare, what do you need to prepare for this kind of thing?

Originally, before the daughter got married, there would always be a matchmaker who would give some pointers the night before the marriage, but Chen Yueying's mother died early, and she didn't intend to get married, so naturally this process was omitted.

Now when she realized that she couldn't escape, she couldn't help being dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do at all.

Since He Jiaan asked him to prepare, then... he should close the door first.

Just when Chen Yueying came to the door and was about to close the door, looking at the empty yard outside, a thought suddenly popped into her mind, to take advantage of He Jiaan's absence, or just run away like this.

But as soon as this thought came up, it was extinguished by Chen Yueying. Even if he ran away this time, so what, what about the next time, and the next time?This is my life.

When he was complaining about himself, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him, and then He Jiaan was a little surprised: "What are you doing standing at the door? Didn't I ask you to prepare it? Why hasn't this table been cleared? It's really a daughter Miss, you can't even do such a small thing."

While complaining, He Jia'an stretched out his hand to wipe the table clean, set up the chairs, and then conjured up a food plate with two cold dishes, two small wine glasses, and a delicate wine jug. After that, he glanced at Chen Yueying again, and said helplessly: "I said that everything is good about you, but you are too lazy. These should be things that old women should do, but you are fine. If you don't work, you still have to do it." I just ask you to come here."

He Jiaan's series of actions just now scared Chen Yueying a little, and he didn't realize it for a long time. He pulled himself into his room in front of so many people, and then, he just wanted to drink with him?

And the most ridiculous thing is that I interpreted He Jiaan's action as another meaning, and I have accepted the fact that He Jiaan is about to become my husband-in-law, but I didn't expect that all of this was just my own sentimentality. He Jiaan didn't have this at all. idea.

Under He Jiaan's urging again and again, Chen Yueying finally came over, slowly sat on the chair He Jiaan prepared for herself, looked at He Jiaan with complicated eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"I don't have any preparations today. I just mixed these cold dishes. They are all green food and guaranteed to be non-toxic and pesticide-free. I am a little ashamed to say this bottle of wine. I brought it back from the poetry meeting that day. Usually It's not interesting to drink by yourself, and you are here today, so we will settle this matter while eating and drinking."

The jug is more delicate, and He Jiaan doesn't need to lie to himself if he wants to come, even if he deceives himself, it's nothing more than doing something that he has prepared just now.

While chattering, He Jiaan filled both wine glasses. When he hadn't put down the wine jug, he suddenly saw Chen Yueying pick up one of the wine glasses, frowning slightly, and raised her neck to take the wine glass. A glass of wine was poured in, followed by a violent coughing sound.

"My aunt, what are you doing? You don't drink this wine like this. You drink it in small sips. Do you know what your drinking method is called?"

It was hard to recover from the violent coughing, and because of the alcohol, Chen Yueying's fair face had a little more natural blush, after hearing He Jiaan's words, she blinked her eyes and asked puzzledly: "What's your name? "

"Call the donkey to drink." He Jia'an said bluntly: "It's useless for you to drink this wine, forget it, I'll go and pour you some water."

"No." When Chen Yueying heard that He Jiaan was going to replace the wine with water, Chen Yueying was not happy, but the hotness of the liquor just now seemed to ignite her excitement. While shaking her head, she picked up the jug and poured herself a glass This time, she obeyed He Jiaan's words, took a sip, and then let out a long breath: "Good wine."

He Jiaan also understands that in the recent period, due to the changes in the Chen family's business, Chen Yueying has been burdened with a lot of pressure that she shouldn't have to bear. In fact, drinking is just an inducement. All the pressure in my heart was released, but there was one thing I didn't expect. Chen Yueying, who was drinking for the first time, was obviously too excited. The third cup was filled, and it seemed to be the rhythm of gulping it down again.
