TSBFL Chapter 83.4
But this elderly woman is also a person with a tight mouth, knows the dirty things hidden in the heart, quietly calculating their own things, only when drunk till drunk will spit out a little bit. This is also a matter that Zhu Er occasionally encountered when she was drunk, from her son’s mouth, beating around the bush. She did not think that this time to make use of it.
As expected, after Zhu Er asked this, the drunken grandma dizzily said: “Old Master? Lao Ye, recently, oh that’s right, he has been planning a big deal recently. If it comes to fruition, not only will our Chen family have another shop, but my son will also become a shop manager.”
Zhu Er listening to the words, amidst the clouds and mist (puzzled), she pushed her and wanted to ask clearly, who knows that between these ‘back and forth words’, she did not know what they were talking about. She asked a few more questions while that grandma lay down on the bed then fell asleep.
Listening to the heavenly snoring, Zhu Er was somewhat annoyed, but took these old goods but she could only bring the news systematically and in full detail back to the young lady and tell her all about it.
After hearing the maid’s words, Chen Ling Er’s eyes turned around, she was still a bit upset as she sent the maid down. She began to think in her mind about what she said.
Chen Family’s Small Restaurant, Chen Xing, Shop, enlarged the business.
Chen Ling Er’s eyes all of a sudden brightened up, to her understanding of her father, her father could not possibly look at Chen Xing’s so prosperous business yet his heart was not moved. Since it has been moved, he certainly wants to act. If her father acted, the best outcome is that the Chen family small restaurant belongs to their Chen family, the worst outcome is that they have nothing to reap, yet also enough for Chen Xing to drink a pot.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling Er’s first reaction is to stand up, to go and tell this matter to Gu Lang, let him think of ways to avoid this matter. He will definitely be moved to tears of gratitude to her and look at her in a different light.
But then, Chen Ling Er thought of the words she heard on the carriage today, ‘Pick the one you can pin down, so that even if he doesn’t like you, he will never dare to betray you’, and the caring look that Gu Lang gave to Chen Xing appeared before her eyes again.
As soon as she thought of that, if that look were to fall on her, Chen Ling Er felt that she was going to be overjoyed. That’s right, he can wait for the small restaurant to no longer exist, she can take back the shop manager position, let Gu Lang divorce Chen Xing and marry her. Anyway, Chen Xing, that kind of Ger is not as good as a woman to raise, also not as good as her family, if Gu Lang married herself, he will certainly forget Chen Xing that Ger. Moreover, even if their parents do not agree, then they can use the original body as their own to marry over this matter as a reason, she did not believe that her parents will not agree. What’s more, Chen Ling Er also thinks that the reason why the restaurant is so popular, which is certainly all the work of the Gu Lang, after all, when the business of the Gu family is so big, even if ‘A lean camel that dies of starvation is still bigger than a horse.’ [A cultured person may come down in the world, but he is still superior to the common people], there must be something to hide.
Chen Ling Er thinks that as long as Gu Lang marries her later (when the moment comes), she can not only help him keep the shop, but also help him bear and raise children, he definitely will not disagree. As for that shameless commoner’s son, she can give him a sum of money like that rich lady and let him go away to another country. If he is still uninterested, she doesn’t mind using other ways to make him disappear.
Moreover, Chen Xing who was still unaware that he was being tricked, finally had a chance to catch his breath after several days of prosperous business; therefore he looked at his own savings box on this day, found that the money accumulated inside has been enough, and after a period of time can even buy a smaller set of shop doors.
Just thinking of buying a shop, Chen Xing thought of his promise to return the bride price to Gu Lang, so that Gu Lang will give him the deed of sale. When he thought of this, he instantly got tangled up, reached out and scratched his head, always feeling that things are a little strange; to let him have no way to deal with it for a while.
Just when Chen Xing was thinking about how to tell Gu Lang about returning the money to him, there was a knock on the door outside his room, followed by a low male voice, “Chen Xing, can I come in?”
Hearing Gu Lang’s voice, Chen Xing’s eyes instantly brightened, and his voice also carried a few points of joy that he himself had not realized, “I’m here, you come in!”
Just thinking of buying a shop, Chen Xing thought of his promise to return the bride price to Gu Lang, so that Gu Lang would give him the deed of sale. When he thought of this, he instantly got tangled up, reached out and scratched his head, always feeling that things are a little strange, let him at once have no way to deal with it.
As the door creaked, a man in a moonlight-white robe walked in. He seemed to have just taken a bath, his body carried a little bit of moisture, and his half-dried hair fell loosely behind his shoulders, slowly floating as he swayed.
Chen Xing’s eyes are not very good, look at his appearance and do not care what he came to find himself at this time. He immediately jumped up from the bed, took the towel he used to wipe his hair, came to Gu Lang’s side and covered his hair which was still dripping with water vapor.
He looked at him and said in a slightly reproachful manner: “Why did you come out without drying yourself? Your health is not good, it’s easy to get sick like this.”
Gu Lang was first surprised by Chen Xing’s action, and then watched him gently wipe his hair. The way he loved and cherished him more than himself, and suddenly smiled shallowly, “Only a little bit of water vapor at the end of it, it’s not in the way.”
Chen Xing took the time to glare at him, obviously not very much in agreement with his statement.
Gu Lang looked at his exasperated appearance, but his heart was extraordinarily warm. He handed the box in his hand towards his eyes, said in a warm voice: “This thing should have been returned to you earlier, but I always forget. The good thing is if I remember it now, it’s also considered as not too late.”
