Chapter 58: Welcome the Cyclamen (23)
Qi She smiled directly at her, and said broadly and peacefully, "Don't think that I haven't been around for a while, but I don't know any news about you here. The few new rich customers you have recently made are either rich or wealthy. You have a family background of Tsinghua University, and you are eager to repay you with thousands of thousands of dollars. You regard the money as worthless. I fell into your trap, and you are so sophisticated, needless to say, you are a master of cutting heads and axes. From now on, you can just treat me as the No. [-] plague student in Tianzi, The bucket of injustice that is unique in the world requires money and effort, you just need to say it, and you don’t need to be so hypocritical, just tell me generously, and I will definitely do it for you properly.”

Qingtian raised the corner of his mouth, lowered his eyebrows and looked at a dragon head silver bracelet on his wrist that was loose and fast falling off the back of his hand, "Third Lord, you are a man of great talent, how dare I treat you as an injustice? You don't need to pay for this matter, You don't need to work hard, you just need to say something. My mother earns a lot from running Huaiyatang, but she also spends a lot. There are arrears from various restaurants, silk and satin shops, silver houses, jewelry shops, and carriage and horse shops. They look vigorous on the face, but they are also tight on the inside. Feeling my conscience, my mother is also one of the best for me. My daily life here Taking it is a princess-like ostentation, and I am not my own body. If I want to say no to business, I really can’t say it. But I lie in bed every day, thinking that it will be night again when I open my eyes, and I have to face another A pile of men wiping their towels, covering their sleeves, and showing off coquettishly, I can't sleep, and when I fall asleep, I just want to sleep forever. Third master, I have nothing else to think about, I just want to have a quiet time , Maybe after this period..." She choked up suddenly, as if something was holding her throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can I bother you to come forward and talk to my mother, just say that I won't be allowed to receive customers for the time being. "

Looking at Qingtian's red eyes biting tears, Qi She saw many things at once.His heart was twisting, but he just smiled teasingly, "Xizhu has only been gone for a while, and you are the biggest cash cow for Second Sister Duan. How many people want to take care of you for half a day? She won't allow it. Let me just say a few words." , she obediently told you not to do business? Who do you think I am, the regent?"

A smile rose from Qingtian's hoarse tears, like a ray of light in the middle of the night, "Third Master is tired of listening, and I am tired of talking, but I still have to say: Thank you."

"Thank you, I'm so happy to see you today—" Qi She's eyes were full of untainted joy, she raised her jaw, and pointed at Zaiyu on the head of the couch, "There's still it."

The cat fell asleep, but with a twitch, "Gulu" hiccupped, which made the two of them laugh. The laughter was like golden autumn leaves.

Ye'er was blown on the window paper by the wind one after another, and gradually, it turned into rain hitting the autumn window. Before the drizzle turned the sky dark, the time has already changed again, and the auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year.
