“Who said you could be here?” Manager Li grabbed the person who was standing at the door. “Why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to stay home?”
“If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known that you’d be doing such a thing!”
Li Xiangjun looked at Manager Li and said anxiously, “Father, is that why you’ve been sighing at home every day, saying that you’ve let someone down? Is this why?”
“Sir, Madam.” Li Xiangjun bowed to the two of them, “My father has made a mistake. We will definitely return the silver we owe you.
“Father, I know that you had no choice but to do this because of the chief but… Hmm, since you already have a deal with Sir Zhao, you can’t do this without consulting him first.”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at Li Xiangjun with interest.
Although this girl’s every word was saying that her father was in the wrong, her last sentence clearly meant that the two of them owed Manager Li a favor.
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao said softly, “It seems that Manager Li has given the tofu that he took away to the chief.
“Sir Zhao, Madam Zhao,” Manager Li’s face was full of shame.
“The chief’s nephew has taken a fancy to my daughter. His nephew is a complete hooligan who strolls around the streets all day, eating, drinking, and gambling his life away. How can I let my daughter marry such a person?
“So, this old man gave him a piece of tofu. However, his greed was even worse than I thought, so everything has reached this point.”
When he heard that this matter was related to the chief, Zhao Zhan lowered his head and looked at his heart, secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, the last time he went to the chief’s place, he had made her wear a veil.
“Father? Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
“With your impetuous personality, if I told you, wouldn’t you go and find to cause a ruckus?”
Fang Tianliu, who had been silent all this while, stared straight at Li Xiangjun. “Manager Li, I have an idea. Not only will you not need to send anything to the chief any longer, but your daughter won’t be forced to marry the chief’s nephew.”
“What?”
“I believe that the chief of the Fang Yuan bodyguard agency is well aware of your reputation. From today onwards, you can tell everyone that your daughter will be engaged to me. At that time, I believe that both the chief and his nephew will restrain themselves.”
“Engaged to you?”
Li Xiangjun was wearing an orange dress without any makeup. Her face was round, and when she spoke, her big round eyes looked mischievous. She rolled up her sleeves and glared at Fang Tianliu. “I don’t even know you. Why should I be engaged to you? Who knows what you’re planning.”
Fang Tianliu had always had a bad mouth, but now that he was being rebuked in front of Zhao Zhan, it was as if his mouth had been sewn shut, and he could only try his best to signal Zhao Zhan with his eyes.
Zhao Zhan lowered his head and sipped his tea, considerately pouring a cup for his lover.
Yue Jiaojiao held back her laughter.
Fang Tianliu, who had his eyes on food, suddenly had a romantic interest.
“Hey! I don’t care what kind of fancy man you are, I won’t marry anyone I don’t want to marry! At worst, I’ll just kill myself!”
“Xiangjun!” Manager Li scolded in a low voice.
“You’ve misunderstood,” Fang Tianliu explained anxiously. “This news will only reach the ears of the chief. I promise that I won’t spread it out and ruin your reputation.”
Manager Li looked at Zhao Zhan hesitantly, “Sir Zhao… You are good friends, no? Do you think it’ll be feasible?”
