The next day, at Yao’s house.

After breakfast, Qinghe went out.

Today, Mrs. Jiang invited her alone to appreciate the flowers. In the Jiang family's garden, various flowers bloom all year round. It is a veritable big garden.

Yao Bilian was eating cakes in her room and supervising the maids ironing clothes. She had just made a new pale green satin shirt, which set off her fair skin and made her look very fresh.

Li was sitting in the living room leisurely drinking tea when a maid came in and reported, "Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you!"

Li frowned after hearing this, and then something occurred to her: Could it be that the damned Wang Fugui heard that I had become rich and decided to give up the dark and join the light? Why did he come here in broad daylight without caring about anything? Humph, men are really cheap!

She slowly picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, then took a leisurely sip to moisten her throat, and then said softly, "Let him in."

Li wanted to let Wang Fugui see her current status, so she deliberately did not go out to greet him, but sat motionless on the chair, acting like a wealthy lady!

Not long after the old woman went out, she brought in a young man.

Li then slowly raised her eyelids, but was stunned when she was about to speak!

The person who came was not Wang Fugui.

This man was about twenty years old, with an elegant appearance and outstanding temperament. Judging from his clothes, he should be a young man from a wealthy family, not the thin, shrewd and capable dead ghost Wang Fugui.

Li was shocked and immediately stood up from the chair!

She said with a puzzled look on her face: "You are..."

The young man clasped his hands and said, "My name is Li Jian. I came here today to discuss something with Madam Yao."

Li was even more puzzled after hearing this, "Discuss with me?"

Li Jian said politely, "That's right, but it's a serious matter and it's not convenient to discuss it here. Madam, please follow me outside to discuss it in detail."

Li hesitated for a moment... After all, they had never met each other before, so who knew what he did?

Although judging from the man's dress and temperament, he did not seem like a swindler walking around the streets, Li was still very wary.

With a smile on her face, she said softly, "Sir, we don't know each other. Did you find the wrong person?"

Li Jian said in a gentle manner: "Madam Yao, you will know when you get there."

After hearing this, Li became even more confused...

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go out and listen to what he had to say, because she felt that this matter was related to her.

She nodded and said, "Okay, please let Master Li lead the way."

Unexpectedly, Li Jian stopped her and said, "Madam, please bring the second young lady along!"

Li was puzzled: "Bilian?"

"Correct!"

Li was even more confused after hearing this...

She hesitated for a moment, then turned to the maid and said, "Go and call the second young lady."

Not long after the maid left, Bilian came out. She followed Li to the door and saw two carriages parked at the foot of the steps.

Li Jian got on the front carriage, and the mother and daughter got on the back one. The carriages went all the way to the famous "Zuixianlou" restaurant in the city.

As soon as the three of them entered the restaurant, the waiter came up to them and said, "Mr. Li, this way please!"

He led the three people into the private room on the second floor. Soon, several waiters brought up various precious dishes, including stewed conch, braised prawns, fish slices, braised abalone and sea cucumber, crab roe and mushrooms, steamed scallops, braised deer tendons with bird's nest, fish maw soup, wine lees crab, whitebait and cucumber soup, hosta pheasant slices, dry-fried abalone slices...

The table was filled with various delicacies, and at the end a bottle of fine vintage wine was served.

The leading clerk asked respectfully, "Mr. Li, is there anything missing?"

Li Jian gave each of them one or two taels of silver and said with a smile, "Go down, I'll call you if I need anything!"

Several guys turned around and went downstairs.

Li Jian stood up and filled the glasses of Li and Yao Bilian in turn, then filled his own glass. He raised his glass and said to the two of them, "Madam Yao, Second Miss, this is a toast to you two!"

After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp, then very attentively refilled the wine, served the dishes, chatted and laughed with the guests, as if he was treating the mother and daughter like guests of honor.

Li had a smile on her face. While eating the dishes, she secretly speculated about the motives and purpose of this young man. She thought to herself: He is not related to us, but he brought us to such a high-end restaurant to eat and drink. Could it be related to that dead girl?

Yao Bilian didn't have that thought in mind. While eating, she stole glances at the handsome Li Jian. She thought that Mr. Li was so handsome, elegant, and well-mannered. He was exactly her type!

It would be great if I could marry a man like this!

The mother and daughter each had their own thoughts. They exchanged glances while eating. Li Jian saw all their little thoughts.

He smiled faintly, and suddenly his face showed a serious look of concern as he asked, "Madam Yao, the second young lady is old enough now, I wonder if she has anyone?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Bilian felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in front of her!

She immediately became so happy that her face turned rosy and she looked shy. She raised her head and looked at the handsome man in front of her with loving eyes. She was so surprised and happy that she felt that her spring had also come!

Ever since she first saw Mr. Li, her heart was attracted to him. She never expected that he would actually take the initiative to bring it up!

Yao Bilian thought to herself, "It's heaven's will. I never thought that a noble man would actively pursue me!

Humph, what’s so great about that bitch Qinghe? I can also marry into a wealthy family, no worse than you!

Li was also surprised!

Now she has everything except a good husband. Who would have thought that this rich husband would come to her door!

She suppressed her excitement, looked at Li Jian with a reserved look, and said softly, "I wonder if Master Li specially asked us to come here today, but is there anyone suitable?"

Yao Bilian glanced at Li Jian with a blush on her face, and felt so sweet in her heart. She was a thousand times willing to marry this handsome and elegant young man!

The mother and daughter looked at Li Jian together. He had a charming smile on his face and said in a serious voice full of magnetism: "As for the candidate, I do have one! I just need Madam Yao to do me a favor... As long as this is done, not only will the second young lady's marriage not be a problem, but Madam Yao will also be able to get some savings for her old age!"

Ah!? When these words came out, both Li's mother and daughter were shocked!

Li asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Bilian was even more surprised, looking at her beloved with expectant eyes.

Li Jian smiled but said nothing.

At this time, a soft and pleasant voice was heard outside the door saying, "It's nothing, I just want to help you vent your anger and do me a small favor."

As they were talking, the carved partition of the elegant pavilion opened, and a fairy-like woman walked in from the outside. Her skin was as white as cream, and her eyes were as cold as stars. She wore a gold hairpin with an orchid-shaped hairpin inlaid with colorful gems and dripping dew on it in her black hair. She was wearing a brocade dress with a hundred butterflies on it. Her outfit was extremely gorgeous and precious.

The beautiful woman smiled sweetly and said, "Madam Yao, do you want to use your eldest daughter's marriage to exchange for your second daughter's lifelong wealth and glory? And by the way, you can get some money for your retirement?"
