Li Hezhou's expression froze for a moment, but he soon laughed and said: "It's okay, you can tell me what you want to do, maybe I can help."
Shen Qingqian really wanted to ask him something, but thinking about the situation at this time, she couldn't say it.
Shen Qingning and others were not familiar with Li Hezhou in the first place, and of course no one answered his words. The situation was a little awkward for a while.
It was Shen Shan who broke the embarrassment by saying, "Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness. We have already made arrangements."
Li Hezhou thought to himself that he couldn't eat with them today, and said with a cheeky smile: "Then you guys are delicious. You don't have to pay the bill for a while. I'll treat you."
"Then how? Mr. Li doesn't have to do this." Shen Shan declined, his brows already furrowed.
When Li Hezhou saw this, he was afraid of offending the Shen family, so he had to give up and stand up to leave.
But before he left, he couldn't help but look at Shen Qingman several times.
Shen Qingman kept his head lowered, holding the teacup absentmindedly and not seeing it.
She didn't look up until Li Hezhou left and the private room door closed.
"Second sister, are you okay?" Shen Qingxiao asked softly.
Shen Qingman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's okay."
She didn't take what Li Hezhou said to heart at all. It was impossible for the two of them to be together.
Shen Qingning quietly pulled Shen Qingqian's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sixth sister, was that Mr. Li just now..."
"Don't," Shen Qingqian immediately covered her mouth, "Don't say it, don't make it difficult for the second sister."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Hezhou's thoughts, but some words cannot be discerned.
In Dajin, Li Hezhou's identity destined him and Shen Qingman to have no chance.
Fortunately, at present, Shen Qingman is still very sober and is not too concerned about Li Hezhou.
Shen Qingning nodded in understanding and immediately changed the subject, "Why aren't you serving food yet? I'm starving to death!"
"You're just greedy," Shen Qingman joked, and then explained, "I'm the busiest at this time, so the food is definitely not served as fast as usual. Just wait."
Shen Qingning lay facelessly on the table, "I hope they can bring the food before I starve to death..."
Her exaggerated appearance made Shen Qingqian and others laugh. Fortunately, with Li Hezhou's instructions, the food in their private room was served quite quickly and they had a pleasant meal.
Li Hezhou was the only one in his study at this time.
"Hey, why don't you believe me?" Li Hezhou sighed, holding a painting in his hand, and Shen Qingman was clearly painted on the painting.
He put the painting on the table and raised his hand to touch the temple of the person in the painting, "I really don't mind your past, and I'm not afraid of any storms in the future, and I won't abandon you when disaster strikes..."
No one knew that Li Hezhou had met Shen Qingman on the day she got married, and after that, she was often seen in public taking care of the family's property for the head of the Li family.
At that time, he only knew that he had other thoughts about this cousin, but he didn't understand what those feelings were.
When he learned that the Shen family was confiscated and exiled, Li Hezhou hurriedly picked out a few valuable items, but when he arrived at the Shen family, the Shen family was already empty.
Later, his father asked him to learn to take over the family business and asked him to go out to inspect the property. He chose Northern Hubei without a second thought.
But after arriving in northern Hubei, he realized that it was not easy to find the Shen family because he couldn't find people openly.
However, God seems to be on his side. Shen Qingqian suddenly appears in Yunzhongxian, and the two parties have business contacts...
