Chapter 238: Different from what I imagined
Shen Qinghe relied on himself and finally found his way to Yongchang Street, in front of Yan Chenqi's fortune-telling shop.
However, things did not go as planned and as luck would have it, Yan Chenqi was closed today.
Looking at the fortune-telling shop with its door closed, Shen Qinghe began to feel worried.
At this time, a warm-hearted neighbor happened to pass by and saw Shen Qinghe standing at the door, so he smiled and asked: "Miss, are you here to ask Xiaoqi for fortune-telling?"
After Yan Chenqi's reputation as a fortune teller spread, many wealthy people from the upper class often came to her for advice on Feng Shui, wealth, numerology, etc.
With so many wealthy people coming in and out here, over time, the neighbors on Yongchang Street can roughly judge whether a person is truly wealthy or just pretending to be wealthy from his or her dress, words and deeds.
Although Shen Qinghe in front of him was dressed in a low-key manner, her temperament of a rich girl was revealed in her every move, and she was obviously a lady from a wealthy family.
Shen Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, I'm looking for Xiaoqi, I have something to ask."
She did have something going on, but it wasn't about fortune-telling.
The enthusiastic neighbor continued, "Xiao Qi is closed today. If you are in a hurry to find her, you can go to her dumpling restaurant. I just came back from her house to buy dumplings, and she is there."
"Really?" Shen Qinghe was immediately excited. "Sister, can you tell me where her dumpling restaurant is?"
"Just drive all the way in, go to the end, turn left, then turn right, and you'll be there."
"okay, thank you."
……
Today is the weekend and there are a lot of people coming to buy dumplings in the morning.
Yan Chenqi helped with the work all morning without stopping for a moment. After a morning, she was a little tired.
After finally getting over the climax of buying dumplings, she finally had some time to catch her breath.
She stretched lazily, "Ah, I'm so tired, Mom, you're so busy every day, it's really hard, why don't you stop doing it."
Liu Cuiyun looked at her tenderly, "Neighbors are used to eating the dumplings we make. If we stop making them, they won't agree."
"Well, there are so many delicious foods now, they will definitely forget about it after a while. I just want you and my dad to have a good rest, take care of your old age, and go traveling to relax."
"Forget it, forget it. Your dad and I have been making dumplings our whole lives. We are destined to be hard workers. If we take some time off, we will feel uncomfortable all over. Oh, by the way, Xiaoqi, you haven't opened the store for the past two days. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
It is said that no one knows a girl better than her mother. Liu Cuiyun knew that Yan Chenqi had unique skills and a special physique. However, it was indeed a little strange that she was already complaining of being tired after only selling dumplings for a whole morning.
Yan Chenqi smiled and quickly explained, "Mom, you know that I help people tell fortunes and summon spirits, which is very energy-consuming. If I do it for a long time, it will consume too much energy and my body will not be able to bear it. So, I have to take a break occasionally to replenish my energy."
Although Qin Sizhan healed her since her last injury, she still planned to have a good rest and recover.
In order not to worry her parents, she could only make up such a white lie.
Fortunately, Liu Cuiyun did not delve into it. Instead, she said with a distressed look on her face: "It's okay. If you are tired, just take a good rest. You have been busy all morning. Hurry up and sit down. Xiaoqi, we are your strong backing. If you don't want to do anything, your parents will support you."
These simple and heartwarming words immediately brought tears to Yan Chenqi's eyes.
"Mom, why are you so nice to me?"
Liu Cuiyun smiled gently, "Who told you that you are our precious daughter? If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
During the warm moment between the mother and daughter, a red BMW stopped in front of the dumpling restaurant.
Shen Qinghe got out of the car and headed straight for the dumpling restaurant.
Yan Chenqi narrowed her lively eyes slightly, looked at her and asked: "Shen Qinghe? Why are you here?"
Shen Qinghe looked like she was about to cry. She cried to Yan Chenqi without thinking, "Xiaoqi, please, please let Mingheng go!"
Her incoherent words confused Yan Chenqi and Liu Cuiyun, mother and daughter.
Liu Cuiyun turned to look at Yan Chenqi and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqi, what's going on? Who is she?"
Yan Chenqi frowned slightly, "She is Lu Mingheng's fiancée."
"Lu family? This..."
"Mom, don't treat me like one. I'll handle it."
Yan Chenqi looked at Shen Qinghe expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Miss Shen, you are the daughter of a wealthy family. How can you cry in front of someone else's house like this? If you have something to say, just say it nicely. I haven't even taken revenge on Lu Mingheng yet, and you come here to beg me to let him go. What's going on?"
Shen Qinghe pursed her lips and said delicately, "Even though you didn't seek revenge on him, it doesn't mean that no one will stand up for you."
"speak English."
"After we had dinner last night, we met a group of men in black. They beat Mingheng so badly that he was hospitalized and one of his eyes was blinded. It was so scary. They all said that it was someone sent by the Fourth Young Master Qin who did it. He was venting his anger on you. I know there are some misunderstandings between you and the Lu family. Mingheng has been beaten so badly. Just let him go and save his life."
After hearing what she said, Yan Chenqi's face suddenly turned cold.
Liu Cuiyun, who was standing by, was also terrified. She tightly grasped Yan Chenqi's hand and whispered, "Xiaoqi, are the people from the Lu family causing trouble for you again? Are they to blame for your poor health?"
Seeing Liu Cuiyun's worried look, Yan Chenqi quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Don't worry, those bastards in the Lu family can't do anything to me."
After hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, Shen Qinghe was confused. Why was this different from what she had imagined?
"Wait a minute..." Shen Qinghe stopped them immediately and continued, "No, you are mistaken, Auntie, it is our Mingheng who was beaten up now, Xiaoqi is fine, we are the victims. Xiaoqi, no matter what, you are also the blood of the Lu family, he is your biological brother, how can you be so cruel? Auntie, I think you are also gentle, kind and reasonable, please persuade Xiaoqi to let go of the hatred in the past."
When Liu Cuiyun heard this, she immediately became furious. "You look like a decent kid, but why are you talking nonsense? I think you have been blinded by the Lu family. Do you know what the Lu family did?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and she almost couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted...
