Chapter 94.2: 陳四小姐
[The Chen Fourth Young Lady]
Madam Chen looked at the daughter who began to stir up trouble (argue with unreasonable demand) again, felt her forehead begin to ache, this daughter has been spoiled by her. Thinking of The Old Master Chen’s command, she did not beat about the bush with Chen Ling Er anymore, looking at her as she particularly bluntly said:
“Ling Er, because you are my daughter, so I usually indulge you. But marriage is always a matter of ‘parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words’. On this point, we can not allow you to be reckless. Now that the Gu family’s boy does not want to marry you, and has already angered your father, so your dad has decided to marry you off to the second son of Zhao, so you can wait for your marriage in peace, and don’t continue to fool around from now on, or else you will be the one who will be in trouble and sad in the future.”
Chen Ling Er heard a lot of information from her words, and then lifted her eyes incredulously to look at Mrs Chen, questioning: “Mother, do you mean that I must marry Zhao Er (Young master)?”
Madam Chen looked at the shock and hurt in Chen Ling Er’s eyes, and although she couldn’t bear it, she still nodded her head forcefully and stiffly said, “Your father has already decided it and in a few days, he will ask the Zhao family to come and discuss your marriage. This marriage, you have to make it, even if you don’t wanna.”
She had said so much, but her parents still disregarded her life and death (fate) and wanted to marry her off to that second son of Zhao. Chen Ling Er only felt darkness in front of her eyes, and her brain was buzzing.
In the end, Chen Ling Er didn’t even know when Mrs Chen left, when she came back to her senses again, she heard the little maid beside her, carefully asking her, “Miss, your make-up is not done yet?”
Chen Ling Er raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, and that pretty face was filled with resentment. A few moments later, her expression calmed down, she raised an eyebrow to look at the person in the mirror, looking at the person who also followed her expression, the mood could not help but get better, so she just faintly said: “Comb my hair, why not comb? This lady still wants to go out!”
Since they didn’t care about her future happiness, why does she still care so much?
“Yes, Young Miss.” The little maid couldn’t help but shiver as she watched the ever-changing complexion on her young lady’s face, and carefully waited for her to dress up.
Chen Ling Er looked at herself in the mirror and thought that she was simply too beautiful. She didn’t believe that with her own conditions and bargaining chips, Gu Lang would still be able to disobey her.
###
Because of the announcement, many customers who came to the shop in fear of not being able to eat in the future, they then efficiently finished the number plates issued today, the shop was busy for a while, and soon after the peak period, the shop gradually cooled down.
Just as Gu Lang had finished settling the bill for the previous customer and Chen Xing was discussing with him whether he could go to the surrounding area to buy some available vegetables from the villagers in the next few days, he suddenly heard a soft female voice ringing out in front of them.
“Sorry to disturb.”
Gu Lang and Chen Xing simultaneously raised their heads towards the direction of the source of the voice, only to see a young lady from a rich family who was only sixteen or seventeen years old standing there, dressed in a beautiful light greenish blue long dress and wearing exquisite make-up.
Chen Xing saw her first look or impression is stunning, followed by a rise in defence, because he found that the lady’s eyes, since entering the shop has been fixed on Gu Lang, not even share himself half a glance, this recognition makes him a little unhappy, but suddenly he thought that ‘amiability makes you rich’ so he lift up a smile as he look at the young lady and said: “Miss, I’m sorry, our shop is no longer receiving customers, if you want to eat, you can try to go to another place.”
Hearing Chen Xing’s voice, the young lady only seemed to realize that there was another person here, slightly turning her head towards him and casting a glance, sizing him up all over and then slowly said: “Big Brother (Gege), long time no see, you are still so impolite!”
Chen Xing was already unable to hang on to the smile on his face when he saw her showing a look of disdain towards him, and hearing her address him at this moment was like a thunderbolt from the ground, blowing his whole being up. He looked at the young lady in front of him incredulously, ignoring the impoliteness in her tone just now, and asked with some confusion, “Young lady, are you mistaken about something?”
Hearing his words, Chen Ling Er raised her eyebrows. The corner of her mouth hooked up with a cold smile, her tone carrying a few points of meanness, “Gege, you’ve only been out of the house for a short period of time, and you don’t even know your real mother and family anymore.”
Listening to this young lady in front of him saying mean words, Chen Xing tried his best to ignore her words that make him uncomfortable, and tried his best to distinguish a message from it, that is, this young lady in front of him, seems to be somehow really related to him, the original owner of his body.
But Chen Xing tried to think for a long time, after all, still did not figure out what their relationship is. If they really had a relationship, there is no way that there is no trace of it in his memory.
However, he soon figured out, the original body’s status in the Chen family and the lower servants are almost the same, has always been doing the backyard activities. In front of this young lady who looked pampered, her status in the Chen family status should be very high, then it could be explained (make sense) that they naturally do not have interactions.
Only, Chen Xing somehow does not quite understand, for what purpose did this young lady come here? When he was still living in the Chen family, there were no interactions, now he is already out of that house, he even less thinking that there will be any interactions between them.
Just as Chen Xing wanted to open his mouth and ask the person in front of him, he saw the woman in front of him looking fixedly at Gu Lang, lifted her chin, and even brought a bit of a commanding tone to her voice, “I know that you have encountered difficulties recently, and I also know how this difficulty came about. I also know how to solve your current predicament, therefore now, I would like a quiet room to talk to you about how to save your restaurant.”
Chen Xing stared blankly at the flamboyant woman in front of her, and was still pondering what exactly she was here for, he then heard Gu Lang beside him, picked up the conversation, “No need, Chen Fourth Young Lady”
Chen Xing only saw that the very moment Gu Lang said these words, the face of the woman in front of her instantly went cold, only to see her lips pursed into a straight line. Just now there was still a bit of warmth in her eyes at this time, full of shock, she looked at the man in front of her with a bit of unbelievability and yelled in a low voice: “Do you know what are you talking about?”
