After coming out of the boat, it seemed that it was getting heavy and pedestrians were rarely seen on the road.

Gu Huaixiu held an umbrella with one hand and hugged Qingxi with the other.

Qingxi struggled, Gu Huaixiu lowered the edge of the umbrella and said in her mind: "I can't see."

Qingxi looked up and there was only a section of road under the umbrella in front of him. The rain and wind were blowing over, and it was a little cold.

She couldn't help but lean on Gu Huaixue.

Gu Huaixiu raised his right arm.

Qingxi bit his lip and then pulled it up. From the back, he saw that the man was tall and straight, while the girl was leaning on others.

The two of them walked silently with the sound of rain. In front of them was the entrance of the alley leading from Yuqiao Street to Laoliu Lan. Xiaolan and the other two were already waiting there. Qingxi withdrew his hand, Gu Huaixue's fingers moved, but in the end he did not reach out.

"Miss." Cuicui walked over with an umbrella and picked up Qingxi.

Qingxi wanted to look at Gu Huaixiu again, but his head turned halfway, but he felt embarrassed, so he lowered his head and walked out of his umbrella and went to Cuicui's side.

The master and servant walked back together, and it was almost the end. Cuicui turned around and saw the third master standing opposite him, with the dim light and the tall and lonely figure. Cuicui couldn't help but whisper to Qingxi: "Third Master is really putting you on the top of your mind."

If there was a man who gave her this like this and looked at her in the rain, Cuicui would definitely marry him without hesitation.

Is it on the tip of my heart?

Qingxi thought of the boat tent, Gu Huaixiu leaned against the glass window, and she lay on his chest, hearing the powerful heartbeat.

Suddenly I was so reluctant to leave tonight.

In order not to let my grandmother see that she had reconciled with Gu Huaixiu, Qingxi deliberately pretended to be depressed on the weekend. Then on Monday, the Hangzhou Restaurant Association suddenly sent someone to inform Qingxi Xu Qingtang of being selected for the food festival to participate in the good news.

Cuicui hugged Xiaolan on the spot and screamed.

Qingxi was also full of joy when her efforts were rewarded, but she was the shopkeeper and had to pay attention to her demeanor, so she just smiled reservedly and reminded Xiaolan to give the manager of the association that reported the good news. After collecting the money, the manager left with a smile. Not long after, Chen Yao came to hear the news and officially thanked Qingxi.

"It depends on my uncle's help, otherwise I won't have a chance." Qingxi said sincerely. She has the skills to cook, but if Mr. Chen had not suppressed President Jiang, she would not even have the qualification to run.

Chen Yao showed a puzzled expression.

Qingxi immediately understood that Mr. Chen didn't tell her about helping her. Perhaps the old man was kind-hearted and didn't like to be arrogant.

Looking at Chen Yao's gentle and handsome face, Qingxi's mood was a little complicated.

Recently, Mrs. Chen often came to visit her house, and her grandmother also took her sisters to visit Chen's house several times. Qingxi understood the thoughts of the elders of the two families, but she didn't know if Chen Yao noticed it. And Mr. Chen...

Qingxi briefly explained the situation that day.

Chen Yao frowned and explained Qingxi: "It was Secretary Sun who was prejudiced to women. As one of the presidents of the association, my father reminded Secretary Sun that it was his duty to act impartially, and you don't have to take it seriously."

Both father and son are gentlemen. Qingxi sincerely admires them. After thinking about it, he smiled and said to Chen Yao: "No matter what, I have to thank my uncle in person for this matter. I also ask Mr. Chen to ask me after he goes home to see when my uncle has time. I want to go and invite him to take care of him."

Chen Yao remembered that his father seemed to like Qingxi very much, so he smiled and replied, and then told Qingxi in the afternoon that the old man would be at home all day tomorrow.

At night, Qingxi and his mother discussed with their mother and grandmother what gifts to bring when they went to Chen's house.

Time is too tight, and there is no decent thing at home that is suitable for giving to elders. Old Mrs. Xu looked at her increasingly beautiful granddaughter and thought to herself that what Mr. Chen wants the most is the fifth daughter-in-law. Her granddaughter is eager to pay a visit, and Old Mr. Chen is very happy.

"You are busy with your business, I will get up early tomorrow to buy gifts." Old Mrs. Xu thought about it and could only say that.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Qingxi went to the Chen family with his grandmother with his grandmother.

The Chen family's house is smaller than the Gu family's old house, but the exquisiteness and style inside are not inferior to the Gu family. At first glance, they are a local prominent family.

Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen were very kind and treated Mrs. Xu as an elder. He treated Qingxi like his daughter.

But it was because she knew that Mr. Chen was interested in matching her with Chen Yao that Qingxi felt guilty. While her grandmother was following Mrs. Chen to the backyard, Qingxi looked at Chen Yao on the seat opposite and said to Mr. Chen in embarrassment: "Uncle, I have something I want to discuss with you..."

Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Chen Yao had already stood up and found an excuse to go outside.

The only two of them were left in the main hall. Mr. Chen asked Qingxi with a smile: "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Qingxi walked to Mr. Chen with a slightly blushing face, looked at the old man, and said awkwardly: "Uncle, I only tell you this, can you not tell my grandmother?"

Mr. Chen nodded kindly.

Qingxi lowered his head and his face turned redder. He stuttered: "Shao Chen is handsome. My grandmother likes him very much. She also wants to match me and Chen Shao. Yes, but I already have a man I like... I told you this because I am afraid that one day my grandmother will come to the mansion to propose marriage. You refuse because of the difficult friendship with my father."

Qingxi has seriously considered it. If Mr. Chen simply wants to support her as a junior, then Mr. Chen will accept it with peace of mind. But what if Mr. Chen is kind to her, it is just because he intends to be her daughter-in-law. Once he finds that the marriage is impossible, Mr. Chen will ignore her?

If it was the latter, Qingxi had to tell Mr. Chen that she already had something to do, so as not to give up her favorably. She would not be able to deliberately pretend to be confused and take advantage of the Chen family.

Qingxi came here today to dispel Mr. Chen's intention to regard her as his daughter-in-law.

Mr. Chen was shocked by Qingxi's words. He was shocked that Qingxi had a lover, and he was surprised that Qingxi dared to say it to him. The older he used to see, the more he understood the older he was. Mr. Chen understood the attitude of Mr. Xu, and therefore he was optimistic about this marriage. Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't want to marry.

"Which family is it? Is it convenient to tell my uncle?" Mr. Chen asked gently. If he was not as good as his son, he would have a chance.

Qingxi shook his head and begged embarrassingly: "Grandma doesn't know me... Uncle, please keep it secret, right?"

Mr. Chen smiled helplessly. If he was a scheming parent, he would definitely stick to his parents' orders and matchmaker's words, but he was not. He was not so sweet. Since the little girl had already expressed her attitude, Mr. Chen couldn't say much, so he had to agree to keep it a secret for Qingxi, and then tactfully reminded Qingxi to pay attention to safety when interacting with the mysterious man.

Qingxi listens to the teachings obediently.

That night, Mr. Chen told his wife: "You don't have to be so diligent when going to the Xu family in the future. If there is a game, you should call the old lady and call it."

Mrs. Chen said in surprise: "You mean, marriage..."

Regarding Qingxi's little secret, Mr. Chen didn't say much, but said: "Qingxi didn't marry for a day, and the fifth brother didn't like others for a day. The Xu family is still my favorite in-laws. Just be an ordinary friendship first, don't pass."

Mrs. Chen is still confused, but she has a lot to do with how to contact Mrs. Xu next.

Qingxi was afraid that others would be good to her purposefully, especially because she was destined to not be able to satisfy the other party's purpose. Now that she has made it clear, Qingxi was relaxed and continued to do business on Tuesday.

The plum rain is still falling, and Old Mrs. Xu is not easy to go out to play cards. It is boring to stay alone, so she comes to see her daughter-in-law enlighten Yunxi.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Xu reminded her daughter-in-law: "Go and clean up, don't delay the class for Miss Han."

Lin Wanyin's tutoring time only needs to be taught from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, and there are more holiday classes on weekends.

Lin Wanyin nodded and smiled and told Yun Xi to listen to her grandmother's words. She went to change into a cheongsam with a green bottom and went out with an umbrella.

Old Mrs. Xu sat in the main hall, looking at her daughter-in-law's graceful back, secretly glad that Han Rong was afraid of beautiful women, otherwise a widower would have been worried that the other party would bully her daughter-in-law and cause a scandal. However, Han Rong could teach Han Ying so well-behaved and sensible that she would never do anything to dominate a good widow.

"Grandma, I want to accompany my mother too." Yun Xi looked at her mother, reluctant to leave.

Old Mrs. Xu took back her mind and smiled and touched her granddaughter's head: "Your mother went to make money, she made money to buy a new skirt for Yunxi."

Thinking of the new skirt, Yunxi laughed.

At the door of Xu's house, Lin Wanyin was surprised to find that the rickshaw driver waiting outside was not the Master Li whom she made a regular appointment.

"Old Li sprained his ankle last night and couldn't come anymore. I'm afraid that it would delay my wife's affairs, so I'll send you there." The driver in his forties lowered his head and explained respectfully.

Knowing that the only coachman who was going to Han's family at this time every day was Lao Li, Lin Wanyin did not doubt that he had him, so she got into the car with an umbrella.

The coachman kept pulling Lin Wanyin to the Han family villa.

Lin Wanyin asked him to go to another business first and just come to pick her up at 4:30.

The coachman said happily: "Okay, it's raining heavily, ma'am, go in quickly."

Lin Wanyin said goodbye with a smile.

Han Rong was not at home, and Lin Wanyin taught Han Ying to learn the piano with peace of mind. Han Ying was a smart and sensible student. For Lin Wanyin, this job was more like a pleasure, allowing her to go out for breath and make some money. Moreover, because she would hand over half of her salary to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law has been much more kind to her in the past six months and no longer scolds her coldly.

An hour passed by, and Lin Wanyin pressed the student who was sent to her enthusiastically at the entrance of the hall and left alone with an umbrella.

When he walked out of the villa and saw that the coachman had arrived, Lin Wanyin felt relieved.

The rain has been very heavy these two days. The Hualien Road area is already quiet and the rainy days are even more gloomy.

The coachman parked under the tree to shelter from the rain.

Lin Wanyin walked over quickly, said hello and went to the bus. The coachman stood by and watched. The moment Lin Wanyin turned his back to him and was about to get on the bus, the coachman suddenly stepped forward and a palm blade was facing Lin Wanyin's slender and fair neck.

Lin Wanyin, who was unprepared, fell softly.

The coachman looked at the empty Han family villa door and immediately helped Lin Wanyin to sit in the car and put down the hood that blocked the rain. In this way, unless he got close, no one would find that the wife in the car had her eyes closed.

The coachman ran forward in the rain, and about five minutes later, he turned into a fork in the road.

A car parked on the side of the road. When he saw the driver, the owner of the car seated in the back row couldn't wait to push the back door open.

The coachman threw Lin Wanyin in like carrying rice.

"Give it." Holding the beauty he had been greedy for several months, Director Ma didn't even look at the coachman, and threw a wallet out.

The coachman happily picked it up.

The car suddenly rang out, drove away next to him, and continued along Hualien Road.

In the back seat, Director Ma placed the unconscious Lin Wanyin on the chair, and then he rushed over, untied Lin Wanyin's cheongsam buckle with one hand, and untied his belt with the other hand, and gasped like a beast in his throat. Such a vivid and fragrant driver, who was also a man, couldn't help looking back.

With a "hiss", Director Ma pulled off half of Lin Wanyin's cheongsam.

The driver swallowed heavily.

Just as he was hesitating whether to observe the road conditions or continue to watch the director urging flowers, the whole car rushed forward with a "bang" sound!
Chapter completed!
