Chapter 263: Slapping someone in the face
Si Wei Zhong also saw Li Xiaoxiao. Today, Li Xiaoxiao was wearing a pink brocade cotton coat. Her little face was radiant, with bright eyes and white teeth, especially her big eyes that were like bright stars in the sky.
No wonder his son is so bewitched by her. With her looks, she is definitely one of the best in the capital. She is three times more beautiful than her mother.
"Li Xiaoxiao." The moment he saw Li Xiaoxiao, Si Wei Zhong's face immediately darkened and he clenched his back teeth unconsciously. His restaurant's business was declining now, all because of the woman in front of him. How could he not be angry.
"Uncle, are you going out?" Li Xiaoxiao smiled before she spoke, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, obviously in a very good mood. She saluted him. Although Si Wei Zhong was a concubine's son, he still had to call him uncle in name.
"It's better to be restrained when you first arrive, and be careful not to get into trouble." Si Wei Zhong did not answer her and just said it.
"Thank you for your advice, uncle. I have always been upright and honest in my dealings with others. Why would I be afraid of those evil spirits?" Li Xiaoxiao was not afraid of the gaze of her superior Wei Zhong.
"Sometimes blind self-confidence is also called arrogance." Si Wei Zhong warned, his anger rising.
"Uncle is right, but there is one more thing. It's not that I don't want to take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet. Am I right?" Li Xiaoxiao said in a flat tone, but the look she gave Si Wei Zhong was full of provocation.
"Hmph, let me see how long you can be so proud of yourself." Si Weizhong angrily flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"It is estimated that it will last longer than yours." Li Xiaoxiao's slow voice came from behind. Si Wei Zhong paused, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoxiao with a sinister look, then left again.
Li Xiaoxiao was in a very happy mood. Holding the clothes for the old lady in her hands and humming a little tune, she walked towards the old lady's Yangxinxuan.
Unexpectedly, after turning a corner, I ran into Si Chengren again.
Si Chengren was surprised to see Li Xiaoxiao, and joy burst into his eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. Did she not check the almanac before going out today? As expected, Si Chengren called her.
"Cousin, why did you have time to come here today?"
"Well, I just happened to pass by." Li Xiaoxiao didn't have any good impression of this cousin. He just responded and kept walking forward.
"Are you going to your grandmother's place?" Si Chengren followed her closely. He was still thinking about marrying her yesterday, and today she came. Could it be that God heard his thoughts and made sure they met?
"Yes, I'm going to deliver clothes to grandma. Cousin, you can go and do something, don't worry about me."
"Cousin, don't be in a hurry to leave. I have to apologize to you for what happened last time. I accidentally fell off the rockery. It has nothing to do with you." Si Chengren continued to chatter behind her. If you want to please a girl, you have to be thick-skinned enough.
"It took a lot of effort for your grandmother to find your mother. You should come to the mansion more often in the future. We are all family. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation." Si Chengren said it with great righteousness, and he almost patted his chest to make a promise.
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao paused, tilted her head to look at him, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes. It seemed that Si Chengren was unaware of the grudge between her and Si Wei Zhong.
That's right, dirty things like this are generally not mentioned. Now that Si Wei Zhong has external worries, why not add an internal trouble to him? Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao stopped and smiled at Si Chengren.
"My cousin is really good to me. Speaking of helping me with something, I actually remembered something, but I don't know if I should tell you about it."
"You say, as long as I can do it." This was the first time that Li Xiaoxiao smiled so brightly at him. Si Chengren felt his heart pounding and he agreed without hesitation.
"It's like this. I'm doing business with someone now. Cousin, you know that I was born in a peasant family. We are a small family. I was lucky to come to the capital with my mother. But the cost of living in the capital is very high. I can't do without money."
"But I can't do business and open a shop without money, so what I want to ask is, cousin, can you lend me some money? When I earn money in the future, I will definitely be grateful for your generous help." Li Xiaoxiao spoke pitifully, and a cloud of worry appeared on her little face at the right time.
Seeing her like this, Si Chengren got excited and blurted out without thinking: "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Hearing Si Chengren's words, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately. She looked at him with admiration, unable to hide her excitement in her voice: "Cousin, you are so nice."
"It's a small matter. Tell me how much you want to borrow." Si Chengren was flattered by Li Xiaoxiao's gaze. He straightened his chest and looked like he was very rich.
"Thank you, cousin. I want to borrow..." Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao stopped talking halfway, as if she thought of something.
"Why don't you continue, cousin?" Si Chengren asked doubtfully. He was feeling happy. If he lent the money to Li Xiaoxiao, wouldn't he be able to use it as an excuse to visit her more often in the future?
Li Xiaoxiao looked hesitant, as if he had something to hide. He folded his hands together, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Cousin, say something." Si Chengren urged. She was fine just now, why did she suddenly stop talking?
Li Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Under Si Chengren's urging, she seemed to muster up the courage, raised her head and looked directly at him: "What I want to borrow is a bit too much, I'd better not lend it to you, and make things difficult for my cousin for no reason."
Si Chengren was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized. He thought it was a big deal. It was just borrowing more. How much could he borrow?
"Just you say it, your cousin has nothing else but money." One must not be timid in front of the girl you like, Si Chengren said proudly.
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and her face almost smiled like a flower. The way she looked at Si Chengren was like she was looking at her idol.
"My eldest cousin is the best to me. He knows that I am short of money and is willing to help me generously."
"You are my cousin, so who else can I help if I don't help you?" Si Chengren was coaxed into a trance.
"Then I won't be polite. I want to borrow three thousand taels." Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, and when he looked up again, he opened his thin lips and uttered a number.
"It's no big deal, just three thousand taels of silver." Si Chengren waved his hand and said nonchalantly. As soon as he finished speaking, he widened his eyes suddenly. What three thousand taels?
"What's wrong, cousin, don't you have so much silver?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.
Si Chengren swallowed hard and uttered through his teeth: "I have."
