As soon as Lin Yuelan left Ning An Town, a young girl and two young men entered Yuelai Inn. The young girl with two pigtails ran into the shop. Then, she asked in a hurried voice, “Uncle Liu, uncle Liu, did sister Yue just come?”
Manager Liu looked at Liu Jiaying and immediately said with concern, “Young miss, be careful, or you might trip.” Then, he nodded, “Yes, miss Lin did come here just now and brought us some game, but she has left.”
When Liu Jiaying heard that, she looked a little disappointed. She was still too late.
She then turned to the young man beside her and complained, “Big brother, it’s all your fault. If you didn’t take your time, I would have been able to see sister Yue Lan.”
Liu Qi heard his sister’s complaints and shook his head helplessly. He also ran as fast as she did. His image probably took a huge hit because of it too. A young master like him was seen running through town.
Zhou Wencai, who was standing by the side, chuckled and said, “Sister Jiaying, ever since you got the friend, you’ve abandoned your brother! We were running at the same speed as you, so how can you blame your brother?”
Previously, Zhou Wencai had heard Liu Qi say that his sister liked Lin Yuelan a lot, but this time, he had seen it in person. Earlier, they were shopping happily. When they heard that Lin Yuelan had appeared at the inn, Liu Jiaying pulled them and ran all the way to the inn.
Liu Jiaying scoffed at Zhou Wencai in a slightly annoyed manner. Then, she seemed to have recalled something, and her eyes immediately lit up. She asked anxiously, “Uncle Liu, I heard that someone came to cause trouble here. It was Sister Yue who led the man to confess everything using just her words?”
This was what she had heard from a passerby when she was shopping.
Manager Liu smiled, “Yes, miss. Miss Lin is indeed very smart. With just a few words, she confused the man so much that he spilled everything.”
However, there was a hint of regret in his tone. Why did such a smart and good girl have the fate of a jinx?
Liu Jiaying immediately felt a little indignant and said, “Why doesn’t sister Yue come to find me every time she comes to town? Is she angry with me?” As she said this, she pouted her lips and looked at Liu Qi. She said a little angrily, “brother, it’s all your fault. You refuse to let me visit Sister Yue, so she must think that I don’t like her anymore. That’s why she doesn’t come to look for me every time she comes to town. Yes, that must be it.” She looked a little dejected, but she quickly said, “no, this time, I must go find her.”
Then, she was ready to run out away. Liu Qi immediately pulled her back. “Ying ‘Er, where are you going?”
“Big brother, I want to go to the Lin family Village!” Liu Jiaying said loudly.
“Nonsense!” Liu Qi shouted sternly, “You’re a lady. Do you think I’d let you go alone? Besides, it’s already so late. How do you plan to go there? Do you want to grope in the dark?”
“Enough. Brother, you say the same thing every time.” Liu Jiaying retorted angrily. “You just don’t want me to go to sister Yue. You are afraid that she’ll jinx us. But, big brother,” At this point, Liu Jiaying said even louder, “Don’t forget that it was Sister Yue who has helped Yuelai Inn’s business improve recently. This shows that Sister Yue is not a jinx but a lucky star!”
Liu Qi was speechless. But he had to admit one thing. Ever since they met Lin Yuelan, their lives and business became better and better.
It was the opposite of the rumors. They were not jinxed by being close to her.
Zhou Wencai squinted his eyes and observed the siblings’ expressions. He folded his folding fan out of habit, then he said to Liu Qi with a smile, “Brother Liu, since you’re worried about sister Ying going to the Lin family Village alone, how about this. I’ll accompany little sister Ying to the Lin family Village to find miss Lin. What do you think?”
