Gu Lang, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Chen Xing above him intently, watching him chatting freely, watching his shining appearance on the stage, and gently raised his lips Jiao, he likes such energetic Chen Xing.

"Young Master." Just as Gu Lang watched the other people in Chen Xing's store talking about their store's plan and how to develop better in the future, Qiu Jiu's voice came from beside him. .

Gu Lang reluctantly took the time to give him a look, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Qiu Jiu was also unambiguous. After receiving the express message from his son, he whispered next to him: "Master, today Master Chen sat in the tea shed opposite our shop for a long time. A guest went out to meet Master Chen after sitting for a long time."

Qiu Jiu was not sure what Gu Lang was thinking. Seeing that Gu Lang did not respond after he finished speaking, he silently withdrew.

When Qiu Jiu left, Gu Lang turned his attention to Chen Xing, who was in front of him, and saw that he had been working hard from everyone to the point where everyone would be able to be a big man with one store in the future In short, the boss's imagination brought back a familiar gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. He still likes to look at such an energetic Chen Xing. Every time he looks at him like this, he feels that such a sparkling Chen Xing is attracting. follow him.

In the next few days, the business of Chen's small restaurant has become better and better. Not only can the daily 30 tables be distributed within an hour, there are even some people who come because It's late, and they're clamoring for a fight without eating their food.

Seeing this, Chen Xing also changed from panic at first hearing about these things to calmness after the quarrel. Anyway, those people are just playing kung fu with their mouths. Someone who doesn't know how to do it.

Chen's small restaurant's reputation has become bigger and bigger with the frame up at the beginning, and now the stubbornness is not adding thirty tables, and more and more people come. , some even come a hundred miles away, just to taste the food of the legendary Chen family restaurant.

Chen Xing looked at the daily income, tired and more energetic at the same time. He feels that at this rate, it won't be long before he can afford the shops here. With the idea of ​​buying a house early, Chen Xing became more and more motivated.

Chen Family.

Since Chen Linger heard the conversation between her father and that person that day, she has kept it in her heart, especially after she came back and heard that the cashier in your small restaurant is very handsome, she began to feel A vague guess, just that guess is vague.

Until Chen Linger asked the little girl beside her to inquire about the restaurant, and after learning that the restaurant was opened by Chen Xing and Gu Lang, she suddenly knew where she was unhappy. , She didn't expect that the Chen family bastard, who she had never looked at directly, even opened a shop when she didn't know it, and now she and Gu Lang are still living a delicious life.

When she heard the news, Chen Linger lost her temper in the room and beat everything in the room, causing the servants around her to avoid them and dare not come touch her brow.

Mrs. Chen learned the news, she just thought that she was in a bad mood because of the young master of the Zhao family, and gave her some jewelry, and the matter was over. The little maids around are very afraid of her on weekdays, but these days when I see her, I don't dare to let out the air, for fear that she will use it to purify the fire.

After this situation continued for several days, Chen Linger's mood still did not ease, until Miss Zhou sent her an invitation, inviting her to come over to gather.

In such gatherings, a few of them usually get together to compete with their newly bought clothes and jewelry, and show off the new things they got. As the only direct descendant of the Chen family, Chen Linger's treatment in their circle has always been very good, so she was especially willing to participate in such gatherings in the past.

Only this time, after being depressed for several days, Chen Linger, who couldn't eat or sleep well, was not in the mood to go to their party, so she just wanted the maid beside her to refuse.

But before Chen Linger's maid went out to ask someone to leave, the maid sent by Miss Zhou walked in.

Seeing this scene, Chen Linger's expression was a little displeased, her brows were wrinkled, she looked at her dissatisfied and said: "You slave don't understand any rules! Wait until I see your lady. , I will let her smack, smack you properly."

The maid had a melon face and a slender figure. Hearing Chen Linger's words, her face did not change. :

"Miss don't be angry, I also got the master's order, so I lost my sense. If I make the lady unhappy, just let my lady punish me, the slave will never have any complain.

It's just that my lady recently got a new gadget. I heard that the lady is in a bad mood, so the slave must invite the lady over, saying that the lady might be happy when she sees it. The servant was also worried that the servants in the young lady's house had not communicated properly, so she dared to come in by herself. "

When Chen Linger heard what she said, the anger in her heart went down a little, and she was even vaguely curious about what she said. Therefore, she just snorted softly and then agreed.

Seeing that Chen Linger agreed, the maid stopped talking, but gently stepped aside, waiting for Chen Linger to pack up and go back to Zhou's house with her.

After half an hour, Chen Linger brought her servants to the Zhou mansion where she was invited, and came to Miss Zhou's courtyard. Before entering the door, she heard a lot of girls from a distance A crisp laughter.

The maid next to her lowered her eyebrows and accompanies her, but no one answered.

Chen Linger didn't seem to care if anyone answered her, so she knocked on the door and walked in.

The Zhou family started with silk. Although it is not as good as the Zhao family, the first wealthy local businessman, it is also one of the best in the local business. Therefore, the furnishings here are similar to the Chen family, and it does not look like much. difference.

.

Chen Linger paused as she walked over and glanced at the skirt she was wearing. Very good, the style is the latest, the material is very expensive, and the whole body is perfect. Well, there is nothing inappropriate.

After confirming that there is nothing wrong with her, Chen Linger showed a sweet smile and walked towards the group of young ladies.

When Chen Linger walked towards them, Miss Zhou, who was the initiator of the party, saw it at a glance. When she saw that the smile on her face was not as haggard as she heard, she His eyes flashed, and then he raised a smile and said warmly, "Ling'er, you are here."

"En." Chen Linger answered with a smile, followed Miss Zhou's call and came to her side, found a seat and sat down.

Chen Linger just sat down when someone interrupted, "Linger, we all heard that you were in a bad mood these days, and you locked yourself in the room for several days, We sent someone to invite you, but you didn't come, what happened?"

There is no other pastime between these young ladies on weekdays, except to learn the things that everyone needs to learn, and the rest of the time is to invite all kinds of young ladies to come to the party together. The news is very well-informed, but if something happens to that young lady, the other young ladies will soon know.

Although the young lady said something of concern, her eyes were full of gossip when she stared at Chen Linger, and she seemed to be very interested in the reason why she suddenly lost her temper.

They said: "It's nothing, it's just a bad mood. I have to worry about my sisters and sisters."

"Oh~ that's the case, I thought Linger was for Zhao Ershao's business, so I'm not happy." The lady who spoke, when she said this, there was more in her tone It was a bit meaningful, and even his eyes were placed on Chen Linger and glanced up and down, as if he wanted to see through her whole person.

Listening to this slightly familiar voice, Chen Linger followed the voice and saw Miss Qian's family who raised her chin and smiled sarcastically at her. Looking at her proud eyes, Chen Linger silently clenched her fists.

"That's right, we all thought you were so depressed because of Mr. Zhao's affairs." Before the smoke between Chen Linger and Miss Qian dissipated, the other lady casually opened up. mouth.

Chen Linger originally thought they were joking about her and Zhao Ershao, but when she heard this, she felt like she had misunderstood, so she asked directly, "What are you talking about? Zhao? What's the matter, son?"

Hearing her question, the other people looked at each other for a while, and finally Miss Qian said, "Linger, don't you not know? Some time ago, the second son of the Zhao family went out. Playing, I accidentally broke my leg. The mistress of the Zhao family felt that his son was really unlucky during this time, so she wanted to arrange a marriage for the second son of Zhao, thinking that after the marriage, the bad luck of the second son of Zhao would be able to Go go."

When Miss Qian said this, she looked straight at Chen Linger, and her eyes were full of the look of a good show. After all, everyone knows that the second son of Zhao is very fond of Chen Linger. If you want to get married, she will definitely be the first one you look for. But they also know that Chen Linger has always looked down on Zhao Er Gongzi.

As expected, Miss Qian can think of this, and other people can naturally think of this, I saw a few people turn their heads to look at Chen Linger, wanting to see her reaction.

Chen Linger thought of these things herself. Thinking of what her mother said to her some time ago, she would have to wonder if her family had made a marriage between her and Zhao Er Gongzi without telling her.

Mrs. Zhao has already made a decision, so she naturally has a decision in her heart, why do we outsiders need to arrange it."

Chen Linger's remarks were extremely understatement, so that the people who were waiting to see her jokes couldn't find the point to laugh at her.

Only Miss Qian asked unwillingly: "Linger, when we heard the news, we all thought that you were the most likely to marry into the Zhao family. Even if you disappeared In the past few days, we all thought that you were staying at home and preparing to discuss marriage with the Zhao family."

Chen Linger looked at Miss Qian poking her sore spot again and again, tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Sister Qian, you care so much about my family and Zhao's family. If you don't know about it, I'm afraid you will think that you want to marry into the Zhao family, and that's why you pay such attention to our affairs. But also, if Sister Qian can marry into the Zhao family, I'm afraid Sister Qian's family will follow suit. Raise your worth. However, Sister Qian is really not picky, and even like that. "

"You!" Miss Qian became angry all of a sudden. Although she had this idea, but being called out in public made her a little bit embarrassed, she immediately stood up and wanted to reason with Chen Linger.

Several young ladies who were still watching the play saw that the two were about to fight, and they all persuaded them to fight.

"Forget it, forget it, let's talk less." As the host this time, Miss Zhou looked at the two who were about to quarrel, and smiled: "Everyone is just a few words. Just kidding, why take it seriously?"

After finishing speaking, Miss Zhou turned to look at Chen Linger, and said to her warmly: "I heard that you are not in a good mood these two days, although I don't know why you are unhappy, but I recently I found something interesting. I'll take you to see it, maybe you'll be a little bit happier after seeing it. Come on, I'll take you there to see it."

Miss Zhou has always been good to Chen Linger, so Chen Linger is willing to listen to her. After hearing her say this, she immediately stood up with Miss Zhou and moved towards the place she said. walk over.

After the two left, the remaining young ladies rolled their eyes in the direction of Chen Linger's departure, especially Miss Qian, who was choking with Chen Linger just now, and opened it directly He said, "Looking at her appearance, you really think that you are the second young lady of the Zhao family soon."

The rest of the people listened to Miss Qian's words and did not continue the conversation. They all knew that Zhao Ershao likes Chen Linger, and with the relationship between the Zhao family and the current Chen family, the possibility of them being together is full of. If that's the case, anyway, without their participation, what are they making a fool of themselves here?

On the other side, Miss Zhou pulled Chen Linger directly into a waterside pavilion, took down the bird cage hanging on the porch, and handed it to Chen Linger.

Chen Linger took the thing and felt a little strange, what's so beautiful about a bird cage.

Miss Zhou seemed to know what she was thinking, and twisted the handle of the bird cage gently, and saw a bird rise from the bottom, and then spread its wings 'chirp' It called twice, and after it finished calling, another one rose from the bottom.

Seeing the birds lining up one by one and disappearing one by one, Chen Linger just found it rather interesting.

Miss Zhou looked at her with a little bit of intention on her face, and the smile on her face also became a little sincere, she said to her: "That's right, there's nothing to worry about. What about Qiu Shen?

Chen Linger blushed when she heard her words, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Zhou, I am not."

"Okay, I'm not here to make fun of you. I really take you as my sister, so I can't bear to see you sad. If there is anything embarrassing, talk to my sister. If my sister can help, I will definitely help you."

Miss Zhou spoke softly, and Chen Linger, who was always savage, couldn't help but be moved, she took Miss Zhou's hand, pursed her lips, and finally said it, " I don't want to marry Zhao Er Gongzi, but my parents don't agree. Sister, what do you think I should do?"

Hearing Chen Linger say this, Miss Zhou's eyes flashed, the tenderness on her face was still there, but there was a little more unknown emotion, "If my sister really doesn't like that Zhao Jiaer Son, of course there is a way not to marry, but..."

"Sister Zhou!"

Before Miss Zhou could finish her words, she heard a loud female voice, and then saw several young ladies who were supposed to be in the front hall, talking and laughing towards them came in the direction of.

"Sister Zhou, we discussed it, and I won't eat with you today." The one who spoke was a girl in a green dress, about sixteen years old, with a particularly smart smile .

When Miss Zhou heard her words, she turned her head and glanced at everyone who was following her, with a somewhat clear smile on her face, "Since you are not eating in my mansion, then come here together now. Why?"

The leading girl stuck out her tongue and looked at Miss Zhou and said playfully: "Sister Zhou is really smart, we plan to go to the 'Chen Family Restaurant' for dinner later, I'm afraid we will be late There is no place, so I asked my sister to come with us. Sister Zhou, are you going? "

Looking at her playful appearance, Miss Zhou gently scratched her very upturned nose, and said warmly: "You all go, I will naturally follow and try to see to the end. What kind of delicacy is it that you can't even look at my family's food."

Seeing that Miss Zhou agreed, the rest of the people cheered, only Chen Linger who heard the name of Chen Family Restaurant stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Linger, what are you doing standing there stupidly, let's go. These little girls, listening to the wind and rain, just said they were going to eat at a small restaurant, and now they are smashing Let's go. Let's go, and we'll follow, so as not to be left behind."

Miss Zhou walked for a while, when she realized that Chen Linger was not following, she turned her head and said to her.

Chen Linger hesitated for a while, looked at Miss Zhou who was waiting for her, and finally followed.

A group of young ladies said this lively, got on the carriage prepared by the Zhou family, and then came to the door of the Chen family restaurant.

Chen Linger looked at the small restaurant in front of her that was more stylish and better than she imagined, and pursed her lips lightly, not knowing why she was a little nervous.

The man who was still a little ill at first, I don't know whether it was because of long time no see, or some other reason, but he seemed more attractive with less morbidity. Just like a piece of jade pendant that was originally beautiful, after some mysterious ceremony, it completely bloomed its brilliance.

When Chen Linger saw this, she could no longer look away from him, until a polite questioning voice came from her side, "Miss, do you want to eat in a private room or in the hall? "We want a private room." As the host this time, Miss Zhou behaved very energetically and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

"Okay, there just happens to be an empty box, please come with me, ladies."

Chen Linger followed the little 2 to the back box. When she left, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man at the counter, only to see the man bowing his head and checking the bill with the guest who was leaving The number of , never glanced in her direction from beginning to end.

I don't know why, Chen Linger felt very lost, and she didn't come back to her senses until she entered the box and finished her meal.

"Linger, what's the matter with you?" Miss Zhou, who was sitting next to her, looked at Chen Linger and whispered, "Are you right to the accountant..."

Hearing this sentence, Chen Linger was shocked and turned to look at her, with a bit of panic in her eyes.

Miss Zhou looked at her with a certain look in her eyes, but her tone was still extraordinarily gentle, "Don't worry, I'm just making a guess. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this.

Just think about it, you can't do anything out of the ordinary 's son. "

Hearing Miss Zhou's words, Chen Linger's appearance of Chen Xing appeared in front of her eyes again, always timid in front of her, like a villain who couldn't raise his head. How can such a person be worthy of a person like Gu Lang.

Miss Zhou looked at the changing expression on Chen Linger's face, and a few traces of mockery appeared on her gentle face. She originally thought that Chen Linger didn't like the Zhao family's son just because of his appearance, but she didn't expect that now, this young lady of the Chen family has a lover in her heart, but it's a pity that Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless.

Miss Zhou looked at Chen Linger's changing face, and sighed secretly in her heart. She felt that there would be a lot of fun again, but she didn't know how big the fun would be. It's really exciting what!

Just as the ladies in the box were performing plastic sisterhood and each had their own plans, Qiu Jiu outside brought the menu to the kitchen and touched Gu Lang's side, watching His expressionless master asked in a low voice, "Young Master, that Miss Chen family looks weird, do you want to send someone to stare at her?"

Gu Lang gently fiddled with the abacus under his hand, making a 'popping' sound, thinking of the look in the eyes of the woman just now, obsession, greed, jealousy, jealousy, each of which made His disgusted emotion, his voice was also a little cold, "No, it's worthless."
