Zhang Xiaoshan, with his back to the door, heard footsteps and imdiately grew a bit impatient.
"Didn’t I tell you to leave? What are you back for?"
But the person behind him didn’t speak.
"The sound of the footsteps seems off, like high heels?"
Zhang Xiaoshan turned around.
And there he saw Luo ili, dressed in tight jeans and a beige camisole, wearing high heels, hands on her hips, smilingly looking at him.
"ili, sister?" Zhang Xiaoshan nervously stuttered.
Luo ili said sourly.
"I was worried that soone might be getting bullied in police custody, so I ca to see you, but I didn’t expect to run into you having a mont. What is it, have you and Wu Xiaoru rekindled your old fla?"
Only yesterday had Zhang Xiaoshan sent Luo ili a ssage to reassure her, and he had planned to spend the night at her place, but he hadn’t anticipated encountering the situation with Jia Lanhua.
However, Luo ili was truly magnanimous. Just as they had agreed, she would devote herself wholeheartedly to Zhang Xiaoshan and be faithful to him alone. As for how many won Zhang Xiaoshan was involved with, she wouldn’t interfere, even being willing to help if he liked another woman.
That was the advantage of having an understanding older sister.
Having been alone for many years, Luo ili had seen through life. Everyone wanted the beautiful things in life; naturally, such an outstanding man would be liked by countless n. To expect Zhang Xiaoshan, such a good man, to be with her, and her alone, was clearly unrealistic.
And since she was older than Zhang Xiaoshan, and a widow at that, his willingness to be with her was already a boon for her, so how could she have the face to ask for more? As long as Zhang Xiaoshan loved and cherished her in his heart, that was enough.
The events of these past few days were proof enough of Zhang Xiaoshan’s sincerity toward her. So, what was there for her to be lodramatic about?
The fewer the demands, the lesser the worries.
Therefore, seeing that Wu Xiaoru was back in touch with Zhang Xiaoshan, she didn’t get angry but rather spoke to him teasingly.
This approach was very comfortable.
Zhang Xiaoshan explained.
"ili, sister, stop joking around. You know my character. It’s impossible for to have feelings for Wu Xiaoru again."
"She ca to look for because of Wu Yong’s business..."
He explained the whole process but omitted the part where he had made requests of Wu Xiaoru.
"So, what do you an by that?"
"What can I an?"
"Wu Yong deserves to be caught for his many misdeeds. Why should I care about him?" Zhang Xiaoshan said, his words not matching his true feelings.
Even though he knew Luo ili was forgiving, often life required so white lies too.
Luo ili agreed,
"I think so too. As for Wu Xiaoru’s family business, you better steer clear when you can."
The reputation of Wu Xiaoru’s family in the village was not just a little rotten.
"Yeah, I got it. By the way, sister, since you’re here, I just so happen to have sothing I’d like to discuss with you."
Zhang Xiaoshan was sowhat embarrassed.
"What can I do for you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan, a bit sheepish, told Luo ili about the partnership in business he had ntioned to Yu Xiuxiu at the head of the village last night.
"ili, sister, I swear, I’m not after your money. Look, if you’re willing to partner with , I’ll put in half the money, or even a bit more."
"Silly boy."
Luo ili gave Zhang Xiaoshan a seductive look and said coquettishly.
"I’m a widow with neither man nor child; all my money is yours anyway. Why do we need to be so clear-cut with each other? However, this thing you’re proposing, I think it’s very feasible. This way, our dealings with each other, even if very intimate, will have a reasonable explanation, and we won’t have to worry about gossip."
"I think it’s a good idea. Actually, I ca today to discuss a big business proposition with you too."
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiaoshan also beca interested.
