Rebirth Seven Zeros

Chapter 73
As expected of a business owner, the Li family lives in a small two-story western-style building with a single family courtyard, and the home decoration is also very luxurious.

There were green creepers crawling on the top of the wall, and many precious flowers and plants were planted in the yard, many of which Lin Minrou could not name.

Seeing her staring at the potted flowers in the yard, Li Xiaohui said with a smile, "My mother planted these. She likes to tinker with these things when she has nothing to do."

Mama Li gave her a blank look, "I'm alone at home and I don't have anyone to talk to. Can I pass the time without planting flowers and plants?"

Li Xiaohui went over and hugged Mother Li's neck, and said coquettishly: "My good mother, I will definitely accompany you when I come back this time."

Mother Li pushed her away and said angrily, "Your friend is still there, what does it look like?"

Li Xiaohui pulled Lin Minrou to the living room, "Come on, I'll show you my room."

"The meal is ready, come down to eat after a while." Li Ma shouted.

"Understood." Li Xiaohui pulled Lin Minrou up to the second floor, opened a door in the middle and entered, "This is my room."

The whole room is decorated in pink, pink curtains, pink furniture, even a big bed is pink, with many plush toys on it.

Li Xiaohui put her arms around her shoulders from behind, "How about it, is my room okay?"

Lin Minrou couldn't help laughing, "That's good, you have to like pink so much that it almost dyed you pink too."

Li Xiaohui shrugged her shoulders, disapproving: "I can't help it, I've liked pink since I was a child. Let's go down for dinner first, and after dinner I'll take you to visit the West Lake. I'm familiar with it here, so I'm sure you're right as a guide."

At the dinner table, Father Li was very happy. He learned that Lin Minrou was here not only to play, but also to inspect the market and want to do some business, so he couldn't help but look at her differently.

"You have the courage to go to sea at such a young age, and your future is bright. I didn't expect that you, a little girl, have a broad vision. Now the country is strongly supporting the tide of going to sea. This is indeed an opportunity.

In this way, you are not familiar with the place where you are born and it is difficult to find those manufacturers. If necessary, I can provide some help here. "

Father Li naturally also took a fancy to the current wave of reforms, and the newly established company has already seen results.

Li Xiaohui pouted unhappily, "Dad, can we not talk about this matter for now, we have agreed to go to the West Lake in the afternoon, what are you talking about going into the sea?"

Seeing that his precious daughter was not happy, Father Li quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go shopping and then look at the market, don't worry."

Li Ma smiled and shook her head, she said helplessly: "Our daughter is really spoiled, look at Min Rou who knows how to find a business, she just wants to play, hey..."

Lin Minrou saw that both Li's father and Li's mother were very embarrassed, so she quickly smoothed things over and said, "This is my first time in Hangzhou, and I want Xiaohui to take me around? We'll talk about the business in a few days."

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in this era are not as developed as the coastal economy of Shenzhen. I will go to Shenzhen in a few days to inspect the market. It is rare to come to the south once, so I will try to have fun.

After eating, Li Xiaohui took Lin Minrou to swim in the West Lake, happily acting as her guide.

"Minrou, you see there is a dragon boat, and there are commentators on it, and those who sing with a pipa, let's go up and have a look."

Naturally, Lin Minrou had never been on a dragon boat or listened to storytelling, since she came here, she wanted to feel it, to appreciate the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan.

The two bought tickets and boarded the boat, and Li Xiaohui pulled her to the stern.

"Look, the Leifeng Pagoda is on the other side of the lake."

Lin Minrou followed her hand and looked over, and sure enough, she vaguely saw a tower peak, which was densely covered by water mist.

"Have you heard the story of the White Snake? It is said that anyone who comes here can continue their relationship."

"Again later?"

"Yeah, don't you believe me? Let me tell you, it's amazing. Every time I quarrel with Wang Zhi, he finds me here." Li Xiaohui vowed.

"That's Wang Zhiyouxin. What does it have to do with the story of the White Snake?"

A burst of crisp pipa sound spread out on the lake like a string of spring water. All eyes on the boat fell on the woman in the bow who was wearing a cheongsam playing the pipa, and everyone started to walk towards the bow.

"Let's go and have a look too." Lin Minrou pulled Li Xiaohui and walked towards the bow.

"Oh, my feet." Li Xiaohui called out.

"Sorry girl, I didn't mean to."

Lin Minrou was shocked when he heard this voice, and even more surprised when the man looked up and saw Lin Minrou, his voice was trembling, "Xiao, Xiaorou?"

Lin Minrou didn't expect to meet Cai Xuesong here, she couldn't help but frowned, and pulled Li Xiaohui to the side of the boat, "Are you okay?"

Li Xiaohui shook her head, "It's okay, why, you know him?"

"I don't know." Lin Minrou said firmly.

Cai Xuesong never dreamed that he would meet Lin Minrou here, he thought that he must not miss this opportunity again.

"Xiaorou..." Cai Xuesong followed, first apologized to Li Xiaohui politely, and then looked at Lin Minrou tenderly, "I really didn't expect to meet you in West Lake."

Li Xiaohui gave Cai Xuesong a strange look, "Hey, who are you, you see that people ignore you, do you recognize the wrong person?"

"Don't pay attention to him, let's go." Lin Minrou pulled Li Xiaohui to leave.

Cai Xuesong turned around and walked in front of the two, "Xiao Rou, we finally met, so you should talk to me anyway. Otherwise, I'll treat you, let's drink tea in the private room, shall we?"

"I'm sorry, we have to leave, please don't get in the way?" Lin Minrou didn't appreciate it at all.

"Minrou, who is he? Why are you treating him like this?" Li Xiaohui had never seen Lin Minrou be so indifferent to anyone.

Seeing that Lin Minrou was indifferent, Cai Xuesong could only look at Li Xiaohui asking for help, "Are you Xiaorou's friend? She and I are friends. We had conflicts because of some misunderstandings. Please help me persuade her."

"Minrou, you see that people are talking about this, so why don't you show off your face?" Saying this, she pulled Lin Minrou and refused to let her go.

Cai Xuesong took the opportunity to book a box and invited the two of them in.

Cai Xuesong seems to be doing well recently, with suits and leather shoes polished to a shine.

The originally tender and white skin seemed to be fatter now, round like a steamed bun.

"You're welcome, just order whatever you want to eat or drink." Cai Xuesong took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Lin Minrou.

Lin Minrou didn't even look at it.

Cai Xuesong smiled awkwardly, and handed it to Li Xiaohui, "Then Miss Li, please order some."

Li Xiaohui was also polite, picked up the most expensive ones and ordered a few special snacks, as well as West Lake Longjing.

"Miss Li is indeed an elegant person. If there is anything else you need, just discuss it." Cai Xuesong flattered her.

Li Xiaohui is not polite either, anyway, she doesn't spend her own money, not in vain.

"Since you said that, then I'm not going to be polite." She turned to look at the waiter, "Don't you have someone who plays music here?"

"Yes, girl. Ten yuan for a song." The waiter said with a smile.

Ten yuan, isn't it cheap?
"Then ask her to come in, let us listen to a song through the lake water. I heard people say that listening to the music through the sound of water has a special flavor."

"Yes, yes, I also have that intention." Cai Xuesong hurriedly responded.

Lin Minrou never spoke. She sat on a chair by the window and kept turning her head to look at the lake.

After a while, the girl who was playing the pipa outside just now came in, and the waiter arranged the stools, and she sat down slowly.

Cai Xuesong probably wanted to show off his culture, so he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and coughed twice, "The most famous piece of pipa is Flying Daggers, can you play it?"

The girl was a little startled, and then nodded, "You can play it, but it doesn't seem suitable here. Mister, let's choose another song."

Seeing that she dared to refute his request, Cai Xuesong suddenly became a little annoyed, "I paid for it just to listen to you playing music, what else do I need if I can't play?"

The girl's face was flushed red, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Mr. Cai, aren't you making trouble for no reason? Although Flying Daggers is magnificent, it is full of the killing spirit of gold and iron horses. Do you think it is appropriate to play here?"

Lin Minrou turned her head, looked at him contemptuously, and said.

The girl playing the pipa gave Lin Minrou a grateful look, and said, "This girl is right, I suggest that it should be Moonlight Night on the Spring River. The tune should be soothing and gentle."

Seeing that Lin Minrou finally talked to him, Cai Xuesong was in a good mood and nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Rou is right. Back then, I was not as good at literature as you. How could I know so much? Just listen to the Moonlight Night in the Spring River."

Li Xiaohui looked at the two of them strangely, always feeling that the relationship between them was not simple, she pulled a chair and sat in front of Lin Minrou, and leaned closer to bite her ear.

"Minrou, who the hell is he? I don't care if he spends so much money."

"It's just an ordinary friend, and we haven't seen each other for a long time." Lin Minrou wrote lightly.

Li Xiaohui saw that she didn't want to talk more, and didn't ask any more questions, and listened to the pipa music seriously.

The girl played the pipa quite well, Lin Minrou followed the rhythm with her eyes closed.

Cai Xuesong wanted to talk to her several times, and it was obvious that both of them were fascinated by what they heard, and they didn't bother to speak, it was like an ant on the hot pot that made him anxious.

After listening to a song, Lin Minrou stood up and prepared to leave.

Cai Xuesong hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, there is a very good restaurant near here, I invite you to eat there."

"No need, we have something to do and we'll leave first." Lin Minrou was polite and distant, and after speaking, she pulled Li Xiaohui and left in a hurry.

Cai Xuesong stood there for a long time without recovering.

After not seeing her for so long, he thought he would gradually forget about Lin Minrou, but for some reason, the moment he saw her, he lost his soul.

She seemed more attractive than before.
