C442 It's Him Again?
C442 It's Him Again?
Then, her vision blurred. Little Four's wrist was twisted, and the dagger in his hand fell down.
Then, a deep voice rang in her ears.
"Give it to me."
Xiao Si clutched his wrist and looked at the person who had come. Fear appeared in his eyes as he threw his wallet into the river under the bridge.
"Of course, pick it up yourself." Xiao Si turned around and ran away like a hooligan. The surrounding people complained because of this.
The woman paused and turned her head to look at the man who saved her. Looking at the man's face, she still felt a little embarrassed and blushed.
At that time, women rarely hugged men in public, not to mention with a dignified and handsome man.
The woman pushed the man away, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Thank you."
"Make way for me." The man waved his hand.
The woman frowned. "Although you saved me, you don't have to talk to me like that, do you? Isn't that rude? "
The man looked down at her and commented, "Insolence."
After saying that, the man left.
The woman stayed where she was in disbelief.
Some people on the street praised her for being sensible and beautiful, some praised her for being smart and capable, but no one had ever said that she was rash!
What kind of person was this?
The woman turned around indignantly and stared at the back of the man who had walked down the bridge. She also commented, "Arrogant."
The man stopped and did not look back. He walked away with his men.
Judging from his imposing manner, he should not be an ordinary person.
Just as he was thinking, a hurried voice came from below the bridge.
"Keyun! Keyun! Your father is looking for you. He said that the people from the renovation company are here and he wants you to negotiate with them!"
" Aunt Qian, I'm here. "
The woman tidied her hair and skirt and quickly walked to the ancestral hall at the end of the street. As soon as she entered, she saw the man who had just saved her standing in front of her with his back facing the crowd.
"It's you?" The woman asked in surprise.
"Keyun, don't be rude. This is the young master sent by the Chi Clan, Chi Shaohong." The woman's father reminded her in a low voice.
"The Chi family? Isn't that the company that wants to drive us away?" the woman said in a low voice.
"Yes, you should be careful. I heard that this young master is very serious in his work."
"Dad, don't worry. I know what to do."
The woman smiled and walked in front of the man.
"Hello, Young Master Chi. I am Yuh Keyun, the representative of the old city to negotiate with you. Thank you for being so busy..."
"Stop talking nonsense. How much do you need to move?" Chi Shaohong said coldly.
Yuh Keyun pursed her lips. Did this man not know how to respect people?
"Young Master Chi, I don't know how others usually flatter you. But since it is business, shouldn't we have a fair discussion? As far as I know, our district is protected by cultural relics. We have the right to refuse to move out of the city, especially since the Chi family intends to build a commercial mall here."
Hearing this, Chi Shaohong finally gave Yuh Keyun a few seconds of charity. He also did not expect that the person who stopped the Chi family from buying this place was actually a woman.
"Dirty, messy, bad. I renovated it for the protection of cultural relics, especially thieves here. How can you not worry about the cultural relics staying in this place?"
"Young Master Chi, you may have misunderstood. We have simple and honest people here, and..."
"As far as I know, you have received reports from ten foreigners this month because of thieves. Simple and honest people? Do you want to kill them together?" Chi Shaohong said seriously.
Yuh Keyun bit her lips and carefully recalled Chi Shaohong's words. She suddenly remembered that the wallet Little Four had just taken was especially bulging. Normal people could tell that there was a lot of money inside, let alone thieves.
Then she looked at Chi Shaohong, who was wearing branded goods and a gemstone ring on his finger. Such a boastful act was not something that a person with a profound character like him should have. Furthermore, since he was a guest, it was common knowledge to not expose his wealth in unfamiliar places, but he did the opposite. Wasn't it obvious that he was here to attract the attention of thieves?
Fishing law enforcement!
Yuh Keyun rolled her eyes and retorted, "Young Master Chi, there are good and evil everywhere, but you saw it just now. As a resident of this place, didn't I also stand out to help you? I believe that everyone will stand out to help you. This is enough to prove that most of us here are kind. "
"What about my wallet?" Chi Shaohong reached out his hand.
"I..."
"Since I didn't take my wallet back, how can I prove that you and most people helped me? I think even if you go to the higher ups and use the protection of cultural relics to prevent the acquisition and renovation, I will use the same method. Reject your request. What do you think, daredevil? " Chi Shaohong said in a serious manner.
"You..." Yuh Keyun was not willing to lose just like that. She was the hope of everyone. She tried her best to say, "Just you wait. I will get your wallet back immediately."
"Sorry, I am very busy."
"Ten minutes." After Yuh Keyun finished speaking, she took out money from her pocket and slammed it on the table. "I'll buy you ten minutes, okay?"
Chi Shaohong looked at the table. One hundred? His time was not that cheap.
The assistant reminded him in a low voice, "Young Master, don't bother with her. Just let them sign."
Chi Shaohong raised his hand to stop the assistant from continuing. He looked at Yuh Keyun and said, "Okay, ten minutes."
Nine minutes later, Yuh Keyun was completely drenched. She even rushed in front of Chi Shaohong while dripping water.
"Nine minutes and thirty-one seconds! Young Master Chi, keep your wallet well. In the future, when you go out and are so afraid that others don't know you have money, you can carve money on your forehead. Why do you have to break your wallet?" Yuh Keyun said sarcastically.
Chi Shaohong looked at his wallet. He did not expect this woman to see through his plan.
He said in a deep voice, "Yuh Keyun, I will remember it."
Did he really remember it?
"Madam? Madam?" Zhou held Yi's hand and called out softly to Yuh Keyun, who was staring blankly at her.
Yuh Keyun recovered from her memories. "What's wrong?"
"Madam, what are you thinking about? I'm lost in thought." Zhou asked.
"No, it's nothing. I just felt that time passed really quickly." Yuh Keyun pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at the bridge and pointed to the opposite bank. "I remember that the muffin shop I love is just across the street."
"Come, let's go and take a look. Since this place is so well-preserved, perhaps the shop from back then did not move away?"
As he spoke, Xiaozhou helped Yuh Keyun across the bridge.
Once they crossed the bridge, Yuh Keyun smelled a familiar scent.
"There really is one here. There is no mistake. This smell cannot be wrong."
Yi teased, "Grandma, when did you become a puppy? You can smell such a light smell?"
"I've been smelling this scent since I was young. It can't be wrong."
Yuh Keyun quickly walked forward and saw the familiar signboard. Her entire body became light and lithe. She could not help but increase her pace. It was as if she had returned to the state of a little girl from thirty years ago. She was always alive and kicking.
"Give me two pieces of muffin, one sweet and one salty. He likes to eat it..."
Yuh Keyun was stunned. These words had been in her heart for almost thirty years. She did not expect that it would still be so smooth to speak.
"Madam, you finally came at the right time. We only have two pieces left and it just so happens to be the taste that you wanted." The young man chuckled as he packed the bag.
Yuh Keyun sized up the man and asked, "Is it a different boss?"
"Are you talking about my mom? She retired a long time ago and gave this place to me. She promised Director Chi that as long as Director Chi is still alive, our shop will not close."
"Him again?"
