Chapter 501 - Are You Considering Marriage?Chapter 501: Are You Considering Marriage?
She smiled sweetly and asked with great anticipation, “Can you consider it?”
“NO CONSIDERATIONS!”
Shen Qianshu’s smile vanished. She took a big sip of the yogurt expressionlessly.
“Master, someone will beat you up!!!”
“No one dares to beat me!”
Okay. You’re cool. You win!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShen Qianshu felt vexed. She was neither unhappy nor disappointed, but it would be a lie to say that she was not affected at all. This was a really complicated feeling. She could not figure out what she was feeling exactly. She looked up at Ye Ling who stared back at her calmly. She seemed to sense something.
A tingling sensation!
Ye Ling shut his eyes in disapproval. “Do you know Lin Xiaojuan’s parents well?”
“Yes.”
“Do they treat you well?”
“Very well.”
Shen Qianshu felt odd. Why was Ye Ling talking about her precious Xiaojuan all of a sudden? She looked at Ye Ling, raising her guard. Usually, when he spoke about someone so seriously, it would mean that the person was in deep sh*t.
The person who had a place in her heart was suddenly so interested in her bestie...
Darn, that was enough for her to imagine a lot of things.
“Shen Qianshu, stop staring at me like this. I’ll dig your eyes out!” Ye Ling was enraged.
Shen Qianshu shut her eyes. “What are you being so fierce for!”
A while later, she opened her eyes. “Master, why are you asking about Xiaojuan so suddenly?”
Ye Ling thought for a bit and then said, “Her parents... Correctly speaking, her father is a businessman in Ghost City.
“Oh...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYe Ling squinted dangerously. Shen Qianshu patted her chest. “You scared me. I thought something happened.”
“You knew?”
“I know.” Shen Qianshu answered readily. “What’s wrong with being a businessman in Ghost City? He had been a ‘herbalist’ in Ghost City for over a decade.”
“How did you know about his identity?”
Shen Qianshu pouted. If others asked, she would never admit to it. However, she trusted Ye Ling, so she said softly, “About three years ago, I met him in the underground casinos. Boss Qian said that he was a ‘herbalist’ in Ghost City. Back then, I was disguised as Master Qian, so uncle did not recognize me. After that, I spoke to Boss Qian, and he told me that uncle had been working in Ghost City for over a decade. There were many ‘businessmen’ in Ghost City. If you threw ten eggs at random people near the port, three of them would be working for Ghost City. They are broken into many parts, and they are in charge of different businesses. They usually aren’t related to the main branch. Otherwise, Boss Qian would not have spoken much about it. I knew something back then. There are so many businessmen related to Ghost City. Do you know why?”
“Why is it so?”
“Benefits.” Shen Qianshu smiled. “For example, uncle is a ‘herbalist.’ He’s not afraid of a lack of resources since Ghost City provides them. Then, the merchants distribute them. This source of goods definitely comes from improper places, so it is very low priced. Based on the sales, Ghost City would profit from this. If it were not for this, it would not be easy for uncle to have a stable source of supply. It is also not easy for him to manage everything by himself. In the same year, Xiaojuan’s family business had a problem, and he could hardly afford her tuition fees. The market was sluggish, and business was not good. The company that uncle supplied goods to closed down, and that was why he entered Ghost City. He has a stable source of supply and a stable source of customers there. When he is a distributor, he earns more. Why wouldn’t he do this?”
“Does Lin Xiaojuan know?”
“I don’t know if she does,” Shen Qianshu said. “From what I know, uncle is just a businessman. He is not involved in the main branch of Ghost City. At most, he’s linked to Boss Qian. That’s all.”
Ye Ling looked at her and said, “You know a lot about Ghost City.”
