Chapter 493 Want to be a Son-in-law

"Mother, since you have already decided to open the stall to Miss Lian Er, why do you have to give her so many repeated tests?"

After Miss Lian Er got up and left, Gu Taohua couldn't help but ask Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong said: "You can best see a person's character from their small talk."

Gu Taohua asked, "Mother, now that you know about Miss Lian's character, what do you think?"

Tong Huaqiong said: "He is ruthless but has a bottom line."

To be honest, she was somewhat convinced and somewhat unconvinced by what Miss Lian Er said, but so what? She was just a business partner of Miss Lian Er.

Miss Lian's words showed her ability and determination to deal with her half-brother.

Tong Huaqiong saw this and felt at ease opening the stall to her.

It was precisely because of this that Second Miss Lian revealed to Tong Huaqiong without reservation how she had plotted against her half-brother.

As for whether she was worried that Tong Huaqiong would use this matter to control her.

She believes in her own decision and won't do that.

If Tong Huaqiong wants to cooperate with the Lian family, she is the best partner.

Of her three brothers, two are useless. The only one who is not useless is the eldest brother. He appears to be kind on the surface but is actually dark and creepy behind the scenes and looks down on women. He would never cooperate with Jufulai even if he dies.

......

It rained yesterday and there was water on the road.

When Miss Lian Er's carriage was leaving Jufulai, it passed a puddle and splashed dirty water onto a young man.

The young boy let out a cry.

Miss Lian Er lifted the carriage curtain and saw that the young man's snow-white clothes were splashed with mud by his own carriage.

"I'm sorry for getting your clothes dirty."

Miss Lian Er faced Gu Ruinian through the carriage window, her face full of apology.

After apologizing, she asked the maid to get off the carriage and use a handkerchief to wipe Gu Ruinian.

"Should I compensate you with a new one or silver?" asked the maid.

Gu Ruinian took the handkerchief from the maid and wiped it, then raised his eyes to look at Miss Lian Er in the carriage and said with a faint smile, "No need for that."

Miss Lian Er smiled and said, "It's a pity for this white shirt. Sir, you are generous, but I have to compensate you."

After saying this, she asked her maid to take out one or two taels of silver to compensate Gu Ruinian.

"Miss, this handkerchief is dirty. How can I return it to you after I wash it?" Gu Ruinian shouted at the carriage.

Miss Lian smiled at Gu Ruinian and said, "It's just a handkerchief. If it gets dirty, just throw it away."

She has many such handkerchiefs.

They were all embroidered by the embroiderer at home, who would throw them away when they got dirty.

Gu Ruinian held the handkerchief and one tael of silver for a long time before he came to his senses.

Miss Lian Er was indeed very beautiful. Unlike Lu Zhaozhao's bright beauty, her beauty was heroic, and her smile had a charming air.

He finally met Miss Lian Er, and it was worth his long wait.

He saw Miss Lian's carriage go to Jufulai and was waiting at the intersection.

He thought there was not enough water in the puddle at the intersection, so he secretly scooped two large basins of dirty water and poured them into the puddle.

As expected, Miss Lian Er's carriage splashed him with mud, and he also successfully met and chatted with Miss Lian Er.

Gu Ruinian felt that his calm performance just now was impeccable.

He wasn't sure what Miss Lian's attitude towards him was, but the fact that Miss Lian asked the maid to wipe him with a handkerchief and compensate him with silver showed that he had successfully attracted Miss Lian's attention.

Otherwise, which lady would be willing to give her handkerchief to a stranger?

Moreover, Miss Lian Er took the initiative to smile at him, and her smile was very sweet.

Especially when he was about to return the handkerchief, the second young lady looked back at him with such intimacy that he felt itchy.

Gu Ruinian felt that today was the happiest day for him since he failed the imperial examination.

"Brother Ruinian."

Wu Na has been overly enthusiastic towards Gu Ruinian these days, and she is always keeping an eye on him.

She thought Gu Ruinian was in a low mood these days because she heard that Wu Ren wanted to hire her to another county.

She had already clearly expressed her refusal to Wu Ren in front of Gu Ruinian.

But Gu Ruinian was still in a low mood and didn't pay attention when talking to her.

Just now, she saw Gu Ruinian talking to the beautiful Miss Lian Er. After Miss Lian Er left, Gu Ruinian had a dazed expression on his face, and Wu Na felt jealous.

"Why do you keep following me?"

Gu Ruinian hated Wu Na for interrupting him from reminiscing about his encounter with Miss Lian Er, and his tone sounded impatient.

Wu Na sneered, "Don't think that you have thoughts that you shouldn't have just because the Second Miss is talking to you. Don't you think whether you are worthy of her?"

Wu Na’s words deeply hurt Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian said coldly: "How do you know I am unworthy?"

Gu Ruinian was aroused by his competitive spirit.

Even Wu Na dares to despise him, is she worthy?

Just wait, he must win the favor of Miss Lian Er.

At that time, he would not give Wu Na a good face, and would throw all the humiliation that the Wu family had brought upon him on Wu Na's face. How dare the daughter of a mere village head humiliate him.

Gu Ruinian didn't even look at Wu Na and left with the handkerchief in his hand.

......

Gather blessings.

"Grandma, you asked me to look after Wu Ji. There's nothing wrong with Wu Ji, but I noticed that Uncle Ruinian...Gu Ruinian is not quite right."

Nie Xiaofeng was ordered to keep an eye on Wu Ji at all times, and he reported whatever he found to Tong Huaqiong.

When it came to Gu Ruinian, Tong Huaqiong became interested and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Could it be that this fellow countryman who traveled through time was going to start a big thing and use the information gap in the future to arm the martial arts?

Nie Xiaofeng said, "He was always out for a stroll a few days ago, and he always wandered to the vicinity of the Lian family. I originally thought he was just envious of the scenery near the Lian family, but today I discovered that his purpose was not that simple. There is a depression at the intersection of our supermarket, and in the evening he wore a white coat and carried two buckets of sewage to pour into the depression. I thought he wanted to do something bad to our Jufulai, but then I saw Miss Lian's carriage run over the depression and splashed mud all over him."

"He cried out, and Miss Lian stopped the carriage. Seeing that he was covered in mud, she asked the maid to bring him a handkerchief and compensated him with one or two taels of silver for clothes."

If Gu Ruinian met another lady on the street, Nie Xiaofeng would ignore it, but even the second lady wanted to cooperate with Jufulai, and he was afraid that Gu Ruinian would do something bad, so he hurried to tell Tong Huaqiong.

After listening to Nie Xiaofeng's description, Tong Huaqiong pieced together Gu Ruinian's thoughts.

Good job, Gu Ruinian, he wants to be the son-in-law and deliberately creates an encounter with Miss Lian Er.

I don't know if this silly kid was badly misled by the ancient drama imagined by Lao Deng, and thought that in ancient times, young ladies in the boudoir would be attracted to any man they saw, and any handkerchief would be a token of love.

I'm afraid that at this moment Gu Ruinian is happily waiting to marry Miss Lian Er.

Tong Huaqiong felt sick at the thought of Gu Ruinian using such despicable means to create a chance encounter.

Tong Huaqiong thought that Miss Lian seemed to have talked about marriage with Gu Ruinian, but she didn't know why it didn't come to any conclusion afterwards.

She suspected that Miss Lian Er didn't take it seriously at all, just like in later generations when people just randomly found someone to go on a blind date to satisfy their parents.

Otherwise, since the Second Miss Lian had revealed to her how she had sabotaged the marriage between the Lian and Huang families, there was no reason for her not to tell her about her planned marriage with Gu Ruinian.

After asking around, Miss Lian Er knew the relationship between Gu Ruinian and Tong Huaqiong.

The fact that she didn't say anything meant that she didn't care about Gu Ruinian at all.

But this was a serious sin in Gu Ruinian's mind. It was like the Second Miss Lian looking down on others, and the nature of it was insulting. Gu Ruinian absolutely could not tolerate it.

It is hard to say whether he is creating the chance encounter because he hates the Second Miss Lian or wants to take a shortcut and become a son-in-law of the Lian family.

But no matter what, this is not a good thing for Miss Lian Er.

As Tong Huaqiong's new partner, Tong Huaqiong felt obligated to remind Miss Lian Er to be careful of Gu Ruinian.
