Chapter 364: Chapter 365: Discussing
Since she had already promised Lin Xuanxuan, Chu Nanli had sent Chu Yi to tour the capital for a while to find a few suitable places.
However, as to which specific location to choose, Chu Nanli still wanted to decide together with Lin Xuanxuan.
Having talked with her so much, she indeed felt that Lin Xuanxuan’s personality was very much to her liking.
If the original soul were still present, she would probably also like a girl like Lin Xuanxuan.
Chu Nanli hadn’t left the house for two days, so this time, she simply arranged to meet Lin Xuanxuan at her own store.
She hadn’t visited for a while, but the store, under Chu Yi’s care, was still booming with nearly no vacancy.
Fortunately, she had reserved a private room in advance, so she had somewhere to go.
In the private room, Lin Xuanxuan had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Miss Chu, you’ve arrived,"
she hurriedly stood up to offer her seat as she entered.
The atmosphere between the two had gradually become more familiar.
"Miss Chu, after I went back, I purposefully probed Auntie Li."
Although Auntie Li was very shrewd and did not reveal anything,
the more she did so, the more Lin Xuanxuan was assured that her near mishap last time was definitely orchestrated by that mother and daughter.
Unfortunately, now that Lin Fuying is in the War King Residence, she couldn’t go over and probe her directly.
"She did not show any slip, but unexpectedly, she even planned to meddle in my marriage!"
Auntie Li took advantage of her mother’s absence to run to her father to whisper in his ear.
Luckily, Prime Minister Lin hadn’t completely lost his sensibilities.
He knew that if the marriage of his legitimate daughter were influenced by a concubine, it would surely be a source of ridicule if it were to spread.
"My mother actually picked out several young lords for me, but I feel, if I could have a family fortune like yours, to marry or not isn’t that important,"
Lin Xuanxuan focused intently on Chu Nanli, her eyes sparkling even brighter.
"If I could be like you, that would be even better."
Chu Nanli laughed, "I’m not as good as you say I am."
Her insights came from many years into the future.
On the contrary, it was Lin Xuanxuan who seemed more perceptive.
Seeing that she was about to continue praising her, Chu Nanli quickly interjected.
"Alright, about the Infant Care Hall, I’ve already had people pick out a few places lately, take a look, so we can reference them together."
Lin Xuanxuan hurriedly took the map from her, which already had several places marked.
"I remember this place, it’s not very far from the Official Residence, so there shouldn’t be any unsavory characters around,"
"And this area, it looks like many houses have been vacated, so it should be quite cheap."
It was evident that Lin Xuanxuan had always been keen on business matters.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be speaking so confidently now.
"I think all these places are quite nice."
Lin Xuanxuan pressed her temples with a hint of distress, then looked up at Chu Nanli, "Miss Chu, what do you think?"
"I share similar thoughts, so I think we can take some time to visit these places in person."
Chu Nanli didn’t let Lin Xuanxuan’s naivete affect her opinion of her.
She continued, "Actually, doing business is similar to this, sometimes, you can’t just listen to others, but have to judge for yourself."
Lin Xuanxuan listened to her voice and nodded repeatedly, seeing that if Chu Nanli wasn’t sincerely teaching her, she definitely wouldn’t say so much.
But before Chu Nanli could say much more, her words were interrupted by the noise coming from outside the door.
She stood up, lifted the curtain, and looked outside.
Outside, a young girl was standing haughtily before Chu Yi.
Several anxious shop assistants stood by her side.
Clearly, she had come here to make trouble on purpose.
Upon seeing Chu Nanli appear, she pushed Chu Yi aside and walked straight toward Chu Nanli.
Chu Yi quickly followed behind, fearing that she might harm Chu Nanli.
At this time, Chu Nanli had already gotten a clear look at her face.
It was Yang Xuan.
Why would she be here?
"I knew you would be here! A woman who has been divorced yet still shows her face around town every day, no wonder cousin doesn’t want you!"
Yang Xuan didn’t show Chu Nanli the slightest bit of courtesy.
Her abrupt entrance had already attracted the attention of numerous customers.
If this continued, they wouldn’t even be able to conduct business.
Chu Nanli frowned, but still spoke kindly, "Miss Yang, if you have something to say, why not come inside?"
It wasn’t that she wanted to appease Yang Xuan.
It was just that her standing by the door was bound to affect the business.
Moreover, she remembered that she shouldn’t have any interactions with Yang Xuan, right?
Why would she suddenly come looking for trouble?
"Come in then, come in, you think I’m afraid of you?"
Yang Xuan snorted, apparently not feeling at all embarrassed by her present conduct.
She sat down directly at the table, ignoring the feast laid out before her and immediately started confronting Chu Nanli.
"You have already divorced my cousin, why do you still cling to him?"
Once inside the private room, naturally, Chu Nanli felt no need to be polite to her.
And Yang Xuan’s words left her utterly baffled.
When had she ever clung to Ye Yunting?
Now, even seeing Ye Yunting felt like bad luck to her!
Not to mention, the last time Ye Yunting, driven mad by something, had insisted on getting rid of her child.
With that prior incident, she absolutely would not give Ye Yunting another chance to get close to her.
"Miss Yang, that’s amusing to hear, as I have heard that it’s the War King who has been clinging to Miss Chu."
Chu Nanli hadn’t said anything, but Lin Xuanxuan, who had been unable to stand this oppressive person, spoke up coldly.
"When you were together, you didn’t treasure the relationship, and now after the divorce, you come running here. Don’t you think such a man is despicable?"
"I won’t allow you to speak about my cousin that way!"
It was only now that Yang Xuan noticed Lin Xuanxuan was also present.
She already detested Lin Fuying, and her dislike extended to everyone from the Prime Minister Residence.
Lin Xuanxuan scoffed, "I didn’t name anyone, you just assumed the cap fits. Or are you saying that, in your heart, the War King really is such a person?"
"You really are as annoying as your sister!"
Yang Xuan was inherently a domineering young lady; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come here so rashly today.
"And you, Chu Nanli, you say you’re not interested in my cousin, then why did you appear before him last time?"
"That time at Zhenbao Pavilion, I already saw your malicious intentions!"
She still remembered the humiliation of being thrown onto the street in front of a crowd!
