Chapter 696: Someone got there first

Without further ado, Bai Ruozhu said hello to her family and followed Jian Qi out to meet the owner of the shop. However, she didn't expect someone to get in first.

Jian Qi's face looked a little ugly. He felt that he should have someone guard him to prevent the Liu family from finding the owner of the shop. He respectfully said to Bai Ruozhu, "This subordinate has neglected his duty."

"I don't blame you for this, it's not easy to mess around in Beiyu City." Bai Ruozhu said, she felt that what is yours is yours, and if it is not yours, you can't grab it, so just accept your fate.

When he entered the owner's house of the shop, he saw Mrs. Liu's fat face. Bai Ruozhu used to think that she had a disc-like face with a smiling face, but now she felt that she was just a smiling tiger. Now that he has come to the owner of the shop next door, he obviously has a plan.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't understand it at first, thinking that the Liu family was just envious and wanted to make money. It wasn't until Jian Qi told her what he found out about the Liu family on the way that she realized that things might not be that simple.

It’s just that it’s not certain who will suffer and who will be unlucky!

Mrs. Liu was slightly surprised when she saw Bai Ruozhu, but she quickly calmed down, with a look of disdain on her face, and said, "Hey, Miss Bai moved pretty fast, but it's a pity that it was too late." She finished speaking. Smiled and left.

A cold light flashed in Bai Ruozhu's eyes. Does the Liu family really think that they can reach the sky? Aren't you afraid of being classified as a Duanwang Party member?

This Liu family is related to Liu Xian'er, who once poisoned Mrs. Li in Anyuan Town. Liu Xian'er's natal family is from King Duan's lineage, so Li Shunsheng will not marry her at all, nor can he marry her.

Mrs. Liu was helping her husband's Yin Bai Ruozhu, and it was planned from the beginning. So when Yu Hongxiu asked among her friends who could rent a shop to Bai Ruozhu, Mrs. Liu immediately stood up and said that she The business of the shop was not good, so I wanted to rent it out, and I was given a very good price.

The purpose of the Liu family was to vent their anger for Liu Xian'er, and to blame Bai Ruozhu for ruining Liu Xian'er's plan to marry Li Shunsheng. As for whether there was Prince Duan's instruction or tacit approval, I don't know.

Bai Ruozhu looked at Mrs. Liu's back and walked into the house with a serious face. She saw a young man in his mid-twenties in the house. He looked at Bai Ruozhu quickly and said, "You are here to buy too." From the shop? No need to bother, I have already agreed to sell it to Mrs. Liu, and I will go through the formalities tomorrow."

Jian Qi reminded in a low voice from the side: "He is the only son of this family."

Bai Ruozhu understood that he was someone who owed a lot of gambling debts and loan sharks. She smiled faintly at the man and said, "I'd better talk to your father. I rented your shop, so there should be a beginning and an end, right?"

The young man rolled his eyes and seemed to have some evil intentions, "No need, I am in charge of my family."

Bai Ruozhu still smiled lightly, "Then I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out, directly out of the door.

"Master, it's my subordinate who did something wrong." Jian Qi was in a bad mood and wanted to rush in and beat the boy up. He had saved him before in vain.

"It doesn't matter. His parents shouldn't be at home. They might have gone out to raise money. We can just wait outside the door." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. She was too lazy to talk nonsense when faced with such a prodigal son. It's a good time to talk.

Jian Qi did not hide his figure, but waited beside him to accompany him. Now he has changed into his spring clothes, but the sky has darkened and there is still a bit of cold wind, and Bai Ruozhu's face was soon turned white by the wind.

Jian Qi stood beside Bai Ruozhu, and when he saw half of her face and ears, he suddenly admired the woman in front of him. If it were him who happened today, he would definitely punish his subordinates, and he would definitely not be able to be as calm and peaceful as she is. But if she was a mischievous person, he still remembered how cruel she was when she said "I won't do it next time."

Also, if it were the master he had protected before, no one would give up his identity and stand in the cold wind waiting for someone. He did not look down on Bai Ruozhu because of this, but admired her courage to bend and stretch.

Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao came back in a hurry and were stunned when they saw Bai Ruozhu. A woman was standing at the door of their house at night. If she was a visitor, why didn't she come in and sit there? Soon, they saw Jian Qi and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Master Qiao said gratefully: "This knight, thanks to you for saving Quanzi today, is this the master you mentioned?"

Jian Qi was not in a good mood and said coldly: "Your son was grateful and directly said that he would sell the shop to someone else, which made it impossible for me to explain to the owner."

Master Qiao's face turned red as soon as he heard this, and he slapped his thigh angrily and said, "You traitor, I'll break his legs later!"

Mrs. Qiao started to cry, "Master, we only have one son, you can't be impulsive."

"You, you are such a loser as a loving mother!" Master Qiao shouted. Mrs. Qiao wanted to say something more, but she covered her heart and looked very painful.

Bai Ruozhu knew at one glance that Mrs. Qiao had a mental illness, but fortunately it was not too serious.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Qiao did not dare to say anything more. Instead, he bowed to Bai Ruozhu and said, "Madam, I am an honest person. This shop was originally rented to you. If you are not satisfied with the lease, you should not sell it. But unfortunately, my family has , I really need the money to transfer, so it’s best if you are willing to buy it. As for what my son says, you don’t need to care, I still have the final say in this family, and I am the owner of that shop, not him!"

Mrs. Qiao also said: "Actually, Mrs. Liu came to us two days ago. My master said that he could not sell it to her, so he rejected her long ago."

Bai Ruozhu was very happy to hear this. At least Mr. Qiao was principled. "Then let me say one more thing. Mr. Qiao, please keep the house deed. We will go through the formalities early tomorrow morning. I will give you whatever price the Liu family will give you." Your price."

Mr. Qiao immediately nodded and said, "Absolutely, I will never let this scoundrel do whatever he wants!"

Bai Ruozhu saw that she had finished talking, so she said goodbye to Master Qiao and left. After walking far away, she whispered to Jian Qi: "Send someone to watch the Qiao family. Don't let Master Qiao steal the house deed and leave. Keep an eye on him too." Let’s take a look at the situation of Qiao’s family and see if Mr. Qiao will change his mind.”

"Yes." Jian Qi responded and went to do the work.

Bai Ruozhu got on the carriage and walked back. She heard the sound of horse hooves on the road. She couldn't help opening the curtains and looked around. She saw a man and a horse galloping towards him. They were dressed in black and dyed with moonlight, like gods. valiant.

She couldn't help but put a smile on her face, looked at him approaching, and said, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yichun dismounted and handed the horse over to his subordinates. He got into the carriage and said to her with a smile: "I have been busy these days and encountered that incident on the road, so I didn't spend time with you. I heard about your shop when I got home." Something happened, so I quickly looked for it.”

"It's okay, it's almost solved." Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile, and then put her hand into his palm. His palm was warm and very comfortable.
