Chapter 42(1/2)

Li Che was shocked by her look and was secretly stunned. This girl was so beautiful, but her brain didn't seem to work very well.

Why do you keep staring at yourself?

Those eyes were so naked that it was scary to look at them.

While thinking, the girl smiled at him, her lips slightly parted, "Mr. Li, I heard that your family runs a bank, could you please give me some advice?"

Hearing this, Li Che raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs, and said with a hint of mischievousness, "As expected of a couple, they thought of all the problems together. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Chu Wanying had never done business before, and she didn't know how the ancients' lending business was done, so she asked out of curiosity.

She thought that if her rice noodle shop expanded in the future, there would always be room for a bank!

In short, having a friend like Li Che would be of great benefit to her without any harm.

I just didn't expect it, Rong Zhan had already asked.

She tilted her head and glanced at the man over Li Che. She saw that the man had his eyes lowered in thought, and his slender crow feathers were trembling, as if he was listening carefully to what Lu Mingze next to him was saying.

The attention is not on their side at all.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Chu Wanying raised her fingers at Li Che and smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Li, I want to ask you something. If you want to redeem the pawned items, what do you usually need to pay? There is a deposit.

A similar statement?"

In fact, she has always been thinking about the dagger that Old Rongtou pawned. Listening to the conversation between Rong Zhan and Old Rongtou, this object should be a rare item or a family heirloom.

Anyway, now that I have money, I might as well redeem it.

Rong Zhan and the Rong family were kind to her, so she should do something to repay them.

Li Che raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking what she was going to do!

Frightened by this, he cleared his throat and said, "You have asked the right person. My family happens to own a pawn shop. Tell me what you want to redeem."

Chu Wanying didn't expect that she had found the right person. She immediately smiled and said, "Master Li is really a cheerful person!"

After that, I briefly told him about the dagger.

She had never seen the appearance of the thing, and only remembered the date of the pawn. She thought that if it was really pawned to the Li family, she would know it clearly by just looking through the account books.

Li Che took out a dark blue book from his arms, threw it to her and said, "You can find it yourself, it's really troublesome. I don't like looking at these things, my head hurts!"

It turned out that the old man of the Li family just gave him a task before he went out today, saying that he was sent to check the accounts in various shops.

Since he had arranged a reception banquet for Qi Yun early in the morning, Li Che was afraid of missing the time, so he only went to two stores close to Wangyun Tower to get the accounting books. One of them was the Li Family Pawnshop, which has a good reputation.

He said he wanted to check the account and would send it back to them later.

In fact, it’s just a formality!

How does he know these things?

Unfortunately, Chu Wanying happened to ask about it, so he took it out and threw it directly to her, which saved trouble.

"If you don't understand something, just look at it and don't ask me. Anyway, I don't know anything about it."

Chu Wanying was left speechless by his attitude. This man turned out to be an uneducated young man who couldn't even read the account books.

She suddenly sympathized with the old man of the Li family. If such a huge property of the Li family was handed over to such a prodigal, everything in the future would be completely ruined!

But having said that, sympathy is sympathy, and the account books still need to be read.

She is sensible and naturally knows that the account books belong to the privacy of businessmen, so Li Che, who is so arrogant, just throws them to others.

Fortunately, the other party is her. If it falls into the hands of some people with evil intentions, haha, wouldn't he be giving the handle of his business directly to the other party?

Chu Wanying quickly rummaged through the dates. Suddenly, she paused slightly when she saw the word "waist badge" written somewhere.

She flipped through it quickly and finally found the word "waist card" on the first few pages of the account book.

A closer look revealed that the person who said "pawn" was actually Xing Cuicui!

Chu Wanying felt like a wake-up call. An idea flashed through her mind, and a bold guess formed in her mind.

Then she quickly flipped through a few more pages. Fortunately, both the original person and she had good memories. After just reading for a while, she roughly understood the situation in the account book.

Xing Cuicui once used it as a waist card, and then two days later, she suddenly went to the store to redeem it.

Since this waist tag was made of pure gold, perhaps the pawn shop owner was reluctant and actually increased the price by 30% compared to the original price. Even so, Xing Cuicui still redeemed the waist tag.

This shows her urgency to redeem this thing.

Chu Wanying narrowed her eyes. Could it be that Xing Cuicui's death had something to do with this waist card?

While she was thinking about this, Li Che's impatient words directly interrupted her thoughts, "How come you have found it? I don't think you, a little girl, know how to look, that's all, Mingze, why don't you come and find it for her?"

!”

After saying that, he took back the account book from the girl's hand and threw it in front of Lu Mingze. Before the man could take it, the girl snatched it back and held it in her arms.

"How can you let others see the account books at will? I have already found that thing and will pick it up tomorrow. I would also like Mr. Li to tell the pawnshop owner in advance for me!"

After saying that, he pushed the account book into his hand and said, "Master Li, I would like to advise you not to show the account book to others at will in the future. If someone with an intention sees it, seize your family's account book."

What can I do with the handle?"

Lu Mingze also said that she was criticizing him by saying this, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "What is this that Sister-in-law Rong is talking about? I, Lu, am not such a person! Besides, do you think that with A Che's ability, he really knows how to read account books?"

?It’s not like we help him look at it every time!”

The other three people echoed, "No, I was the one who read the account books of his bank last month! The same goes for you Li Che. After all, you are from a business family. Why can't you even read the account books? If Uncle Li knew about it,

I'm not allowed to break your legs!"

"Bah! As long as you don't tell me, how will my father and my grandfather know! Also, what the little girl said is quite right. It seems that I really can't show you the account books in the future, just in case you are jealous of our Li family.

We have a huge fortune, what if you, Hehe, are plotting against our Li family secretly?"

"Li Che! Look, are you speaking human language? We worked hard for you, and yet you have become ours, right?"

Several people laughed and cursed as they talked.

Chu Wanying could tell that they had a deep affection for each other. When they scolded each other, they were all joking and there was no real intention to get angry.

She was completely focused on the waist badge. She turned her head and saw that the man was still sipping tea calmly, with no abnormal expression on his face. She didn't know what he would say if she asked him about the waist badge at this time.

While she was thinking, she didn't notice that Li Che had just noticed that she was thinking about something intently, so he secretly poured a glass of wine into her glass.

No one else noticed, but Rong Zhan did.

As soon as the girl's lips touched the rim of the cup, before she could recover, the cup in her hand was snatched away by the man.

"What are you doing!"

Rong Zhan raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy and irritating liquid jumped directly from his throat to his stomach, making him feel dazed for a moment.

He held the table with his hands, frowned, and looked at her coldly, "We should go."

Chu Wanying didn't know why he suddenly seemed to be a different person, but seeing that his face didn't look very good, she was afraid that he was really uncomfortable, so she stood up and helped him, "Are you okay?"

Rong Zhan did not respond to her, but turned to look at Li Che, "Master Li, if you want to drink in the future, just tell Rong. Why bother."

The implication is that Li Che forced him to drink?

Li Che's original intention was just to tease Chu Wanying, thinking that the girl should be able to smell it as soon as she smelled it, but she didn't realize it at all.

When he wanted to remind her out loud, Rong Zhan had already grabbed it first and drank it all.

It's rare to see a cold-hearted man show other emotions. He suddenly became interested and asked an unexpected question, "Didn't Mr. Rong say he won't drink? Why are you drinking now?"

"What? Is this glass of wine?" Chu Wanying looked surprised.

Then I picked up the cup and smelled it. The strong smell of alcohol hit my face. Wow, the alcohol content is really quite high.

Why was he so absent-minded just now that he couldn't even smell the wine?

She supported the man with both hands and pursed her lips, "Rong Zhan, let's go home!"

The man nodded slightly, and after the two left, Lu Mingze came close to Li Che and said, "A Che, this time it's your fault! How can you force a woman to drink!"

Li Che didn't answer, he just picked up the wine jar and drank directly.

Others knew that he was drinking to drown his sorrows, so no one talked to him.

It wasn't until he drank more than half of the jar of wine that he burped with a flushed face and said, "Rong Zhan is a boy who doesn't know his blessings despite being blessed. I don't like to see him pretending to be aloof!"

Lu Mingze grabbed the wine jar and said, "Okay, okay, stop drinking! If you drink any more, you'll get drunk!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing this, several other people had to carry him away in a hurry.

Because the scene was so chaotic, the account book in Li Che's arms fell directly to the ground without anyone noticing.

After everyone left, a pair of black green-soled boots stood beside the account book.

————————

The sun sets in the west.

The setting sun dragged the girl's frail and thin figure down from the mountain.

Chu Wanying looked at the sky and hurriedly carried a basket of wild vegetables to go down the mountain.
