Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Li Jiacheng and Wang Jianlin Second Watch_1

Nangong Yi didn’t care about her sarcastic scolding, leaning back at ease and saying, "However, Wei’er’s concerns are justified. So, how about this? You go and buy the house next door, arrange for me to live there, and once I’ve recuperated from my injuries, you’ll be free of me. How does that sound?"

"Purchase the store next door?"

Cai Wei laughed out of frustration: "Great god, do you mistake me for Li Jiacheng or Wang Jianlin? A store so expensive...you think I can just buy it on a whim?"

"Who is Li Jiacheng? And this Wang Jianlin, who are they?"

The man examined these two names carefully. From the way the girl admired these two men and how she revered them when she mentioned their names, it made him feel quite uneasy.

"They are... never mind. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know them. They are very remarkable men!"

Cai Wei, unable to explain these two characters to him, waved her hand and dropped the subject.

The man, leaning on a pillow, gave the girl a puzzled look, trying to imagine what kind of men they were that deserve her admiration. Once his injuries healed, he’d definitely send people to investigate these two men...

"I’ll give the silver; you perform the purchase." He spoke up again, his mind filling with these two unfamiliar names.

"You?"

Cai Wei chuckled with spite, "You’re stark naked yourself, what will you use to buy? Should I sell you to Xianggu Pavilion in exchange for silver?"

Nangong Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, gritting his teeth and saying, "You needn’t worry about the silver. In my pouch, I have silver bills; more than enough even to buy ten stores."

To his surprise, Cai Wei flatly refused, "No, purchasing a property is a major affair. I do not want to get involved. As for matters concerning money, it’s best if we avoid getting entangled!"

"Wei’er doesn’t want to be involved in money matters with me?" Nangong Yi raised the corner of his mouth, smiling smugly, "Unfortunately for you, we’re already entangled."

"Are you referring to the one hundred taels of silver for the flower tea?" Cai Wei felt a headache at the thought of that flower tea.

However, the man denied it right away: "No!"

"Then what is it?"

Cai Wei thought for a while before realizing, extending her hand from her bosom, she took out a Night Pearl and handed it to the man, "Here! Your stuff."

The man didn’t accept the Night Pearl but looked steadily at Cai Wei and slowly said, "For someone as smart as Wei’er, haven’t you ever wondered why the shopkeeper of Bafu Restaurant, Cui Zhanggui, would choose you as a business partner?"

"What do you mean?"

Cai Wei’s voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you mean..."

She abruptly stopped talking, her clear, big eyes staring in shock at the composed man. Everything suddenly clicked into place!

No wonder, Shopkeeper Cui had actively sought her out and signed a cooperation agreement with her without knowing anything about her. She was baffled, thinking in this pricy Goldfish Lane, Shopkeeper Cui could easily find better partners, but why did he insist on choosing her? It turned out that all was because of him!

"Why did you do this?"

Cai Wei was furious, her voice filled with irritation. Although he had helped her, Cai Wei felt nothing but gratitude. Instead, she felt like her life was being manipulated, as if she was transparent in front of him, and every move was under his control, which made her uncomfortable!

Why did she do this?

Facing the girl’s accusation, Nangong Yi pondered. Yeah, why would he do this? Even he couldn’t figure it out. Nonetheless, when he saw her running aimlessly outside in the bitter cold, her little face was so red from the cold, and even her nose was red, his heart ached. The only thing he wanted to do was to help her, right away.

Knowing that she had her pride and would not easily accept his help, he had no choice but to send Chai Feng to bribe Shopkeeper Cui, creating such a vivid and compelling scene!

"I just want to help you!" The man responded honestly.

Cai Wei spoke coldly, "You should know, I don’t need your help, and I don’t want you to be a part of my life!"

Nangong Yi paused and said, "Does Wei’er want to give up the Bafu Restaurant? If so, how would you explain this to your family and the Zhou family? Plus, without a suitable house, I will keep living in your boudoir. Won’t that cause you trouble in the long run?"

Cai Wei looked up at the sky in silence...

Well, she admitted that her family was her Achilles heel. She didn’t want them to worry, nor did she want them to suffer from the hardship of moving around. Most importantly, she was afraid that her act of hiding the outsider man would cause trouble for her family. Hence, after careful consideration, she gritted her teeth and laughed coldly, "Fine, I’ll buy it for you. But, if it’s expensive, don’t blame me!"

"Of course!"

Nangong Yi smiled brightly. To him, buying a small shop was nothing, let alone buying the entire Goldfish Lane!

Cai Wei also smiled brilliantly. She had just used her inner vision to check the clothes the evildoer left in the space, and indeed found a colourful brocade Pisces Shun bag, thick, and you could tell it was stuffed from the outside.

"Take it!"

She murmured in her heart, and the shun bag silently moved into her bosom.

Cai Wei grinned maliciously, snickering cruelly at the thought. Oh, evildoer, you dare to threaten me, I’ll ruin you financially today, ha...

After breakfast, Lady Du and the children planned to go to the market as agreed last night. All were dressed in new brocade clothes that Cai Wei bought from the tailor. Fei’er was even wearing the Pearl Cluster Gold Inlaid Earrings that her sister gave her yesterday, her hair tied up with a bright red head rope. Lady Du was also wearing a gold-inlaid jade pendant, which made her look a lot younger and prettier.

Cai Wei excused herself saying that she couldn’t go because she had things to do at the restaurant. She assigned Auntie Zhang and Auntie Liu to accompany and serve them. After sending off the family, she went to the kitchen to scoop up a bowl of thick millet porridge and took two vegetarian buns and two small dishes, placed them all on a tray, and carried them into the room.

"Hey, whoever you are, I don’t even know your name. What should I write on the house deed when I buy the house later?"

"My name is not suitable to reveal, just write Wei’er’s name!" Nangong Yi was leaning against the pillow, his fair, slender hands took the porridge bowl and started eating elegantly.
