Chapter 316: A Thought Becomes Sin
Li Luo, who was wandering in the Piaoxiang Building, faintly heard a cry similar to that of a child, she quickly stopped, pricked up her ears to catch the faint sound, but she never heard a second sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Luo, who doubted whether he was thinking about solving the case day and night, had hallucinations, was startled by a middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared.
The woman's face was very haggard, her cheekbones were so thin that her cheekbones were high and bulging, and her eye sockets were sunken, as if she had never slept well.
But the woman was dressed in a very luxurious manner, and she did not look like an ordinary person.
"Excuse me, are youβ"
Li Luo tentatively inquired about the identity of the other party, and the woman replied with a smile:
"Childe scared? The slave family is the owner of Piaoxiang Building. β
The woman's smile was very kind, and she spoke very politely. After listening to the woman's self-introduction, Li Luo wondered whether to pretend to be a frequent guest here.
Unexpectedly, before Li Luo could take a stubble, the woman asked softly:
"Listen to the slaves in the courtyard - Childe claims to be a frequent visitor here?"
Li Luo's face looked away unnaturally, not knowing how to answer.
"Childe doesn't know, if it's my regular customer of Piaoxiang Building, I must remember. But Gongzi looked at his eyes, and he was not a local when he heard the accent. Dare to ask the son what is the matter with my Piaoxiang Building, is there a place where the slave family can help? β
I have to say that Li Luo has a good impression of the boss of Piaoxianglou, after all, she deceived first, but the other party did not criticize her, and offered to help.
The other party was so frank, Li Luo didn't want to hide it, but in order not to let the case leak, Li Luo couldn't say it directly, and after thinking for a while, Li Luo said:
"Don't hide it from you, I am indeed a foreigner, today when I was enjoying the shade by the lake, I heard the signboard of Wenjunfang, and then I heard that you have your own opinions about operating Piaoxiang Building. Under is the day of the Zhao people, the father also runs a number of shops, said to come to see the fragrance building, it is better to visit the owner of the fragrance building! β
Li Luo finally made up the lie well, it depends on whether he can hide it from the other party, Li Luo even thought of the rhetoric of being interrogated, if asked who his father is in business, Li Luo is ready to use the name of Chang Shengping.
The woman looked at Li Luo for a while, and then suddenly said:
"Childe is not a childe, but a young lady, right?"
Li Luo, who was exposed to his true face, began to admire the other party's eyesight, and he also dealt with women every day, and the person who asked Junfang did not see that she was a female Jiao'e.
Li Luo felt that gender matters were irrelevant, so he smiled shyly:
"Hehe, the proprietress really has a torch in her eyes, I am indeed a daughter."
The woman stared for a moment, and could not help but praise:
"The girl has such a good appearance, but it is difficult to find it in our town, don't stand, I think we are also compatible, go to the back room and sit down-"
"It's an honorβ"
When the woman came to the room where the guests were entertained, Li Luo glanced at the furnishings and decorations in the house, which did look a little cheesy compared with Wen Junfang, perhaps because he didn't ask Jun Fang's generosity, and he was short of money.
Seeing that Li Luo saw the environment in the house at first sight, the woman already believed that Li Luo was the daughter of a merchant, because only a merchant would subconsciously set his eyes on the decoration of the storefront.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?"
"The little girl's name is Chang Jingjing."
The woman smiled and replied:
"Miss Chang is very straightforward, in fact, I have a distant relative in Rizhao, and I have also heard of a famous businessman in Rizhao, I wonder if Ling Zun is also among them?"
Li Luo was secretly happy when he heard this, and pretended to be modest and replied:
"The little girl's family lives in Rizhao Capital, and her father is also doing a small business, my sister shouldn't have heard of it, and Chang Shengping is the father's name."
Hearing Li Luo call herself her sister, the woman said with a shy face:
"You little girl has a sweet mouth, I'm a lot old, how can I afford this title."
After a pause, the woman handed the teacup to Li Luo, and continued with an appreciative look:
"It turns out that the legendary God of Wealth is your father, no wonder you are so eloquent!"
Hearing this, Li Luo waved his hand again and again, and replied with a very humble face:
"My sister said this, just to give my father a few thin noodles, and now that my father is old, it is really a headache to take care of many shops. This is not - I think I have too little experience, so I was specially ordered to come out and break through, and when I go back, I can rest assured that I can help manage it. β
After listening to Li Luo's complaint, the woman sighed in a low voice as if she felt the same way, and then said:
"Business is not good, it used to be - I always feel tired, I have been busy for most of my life, and I only have a signboard left by my body, if I don't even have a signboard, I really don't know what to look forward to......"
The woman's confession made Li Luo instantly alert, from the woman's words, Li Luo could see that the other party valued Piaoxianglou very much, and it seemed that as long as he could save the signboard of Piaoxianglou, he would do whatever it took to do.
Therefore, Li Luo deliberately talked about asking Junfang's business experience:
"Actually, my sister is too stubborn. I've only been in town for a few days, but I got to know the place in general. There are not many beauties in this town, and the flower building has naturally become the biggest way to make a profit. I heard that the boss of Junfang is a singer and dancer invited from Lechuan, why doesn't my sister follow suit? β
Li Luo talked about his experience in the flower building industry, which was remarkable, not only completely won the trust of the woman, but also made the woman willing to open her heart and say her persistence.
The woman took a sip of tea and replied with a bitter smile:
"Miss Li doesn't know, in the past, although there was a lack of beautiful women in this town, it was not as high as now, and she trampled on others. My original intention of running this Piaoxiang House is to let everyone in the town see it - we also have talented beauties, and we also have beautiful women who are the envy of others. What kind of ability is it to poach people from the outside? There is no local specialty, but those guests eat this set......"
The woman's eyes were sad and helpless, and her eyes were deeply persistent, Li Luo seemed to understand why the woman didn't give up Piaoxiang Lou - this flower building has become a child that the other party has worked hard to cultivate, and her own children can only scold themselves, and others can't say a word of no.
After chatting with the woman for a long time, Li Luo's heart gradually became clear. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Luo planned to ask Junfang to meet Yanchen so that Yanchen would not worry.
As he said goodbye, Li Luo asked the woman one last question with a compassionate look.
"Sister, on the way here, I heard from a regular customer here that you have a way to bring Piaoxianglou back to life? If that's the case, then it couldn't be better, and I wish my sister success in all her wishes. β
When the woman heard this, she turned around and smiled, and there was a hint of guilt in that smile that was difficult to catch, but the longing on her face overshadowed that bit of guilt:
"Well, it's just- maybe I'll have to wait a little longer, and when my Piaoxiang Building is revitalized again, you'll have to come and cheer!"
Li Luo's eyes were a little weak when she heard this, because she had already determined who was the person who stole the girl. Giving the woman a bright smile in return, Li Luo turned his back and let out an almost inaudible lament.
