Luo ili’s worries were quite reasonable.
After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had already shown potential as a dark horse, and it was only a matter of ti before he climbed higher and higher, becoming increasingly prominent as ti went on.
However, Luo ili’s youth was limited. Now that she was already over thirty, with little education and no notable family background, she was just a widow with a deceased husband. Her only asset was her beauty, but in another ten or twenty years, her beauty would fade. By then, would there still be a place for her by Zhang Xiaoshan’s side amidst countless young girls?
She wouldn’t interfere in Zhang Xiaoshan’s private affairs with other won, but she also couldn’t accept the idea of losing him one day.
After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had beco her everything.
Zhang Xiaoshan, seeing Luo ili with tears welled up in her eyes, quickly tried to comfort and reassure her.
"ili, I swear, no matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you. I promise you can always be by my side."
"Really?"
"Of course it’s true."
"But, but I will get old, my face will be full of wrinkles. Even if you can accept it, I won’t want to. I, I, by then, I’ll just leave you so I won’t be in your way."
As Luo ili spoke, she could no longer hold back her tears, which started to flow freely.
Zhang Xiaoshan said with a pained expression.
"ili, what nonsense are you talking about? The physical appearance is important, but the spirit is more important. I feel we are very compatible. Look, I’ll formulate a dicine for you to use as a facial mask that can keep you looking as you do now into your forties and fifties."
"Really?"
"Where would you get such a dicine? Don’t tease ." Luo ili thought that Zhang Xiaoshan was just trying to comfort her.
Zhang Xiaoshan, however, spoke with absolute surety.
"Just because it’s not available in the market doesn’t an I don’t have it. Have you forgotten what I do? This is not a problem for . Just wait, I’ll prepare it for you in a few days."
In the heritage Zhang Xiaoshan had received, there was a type of "Renewing Cream" that had this function to delay aging of the skin. In his craft, this was considered quite a basic skill. Now Zhang Xiaoshan was fully capable of preparing it. Perhaps, he could even make a tidy sum of money by selling it.
"Okay, I believe you." Whether it was true or not, Luo ili was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoshan’s current attitude.
She wiped her tears and smiled again.
Seeing her smile, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly tried to divert Luo ili’s attention.
"Let’s do this, why don’t you go talk with Hu Lili and finalize the deal?"
"But, the two of us together only have seven hundred thousand. Even if she agrees to sell it to us for one million, we’d still be short by three hundred thousand..." Luo ili seed a bit troubled.
Zhang Xiaoshan remained cool and collected.
"Don’t worry about the money. Just go and talk. I can handle the money issue."
For so reason, Luo ili had co to fully rely on Zhang Xiaoshan and trusted his words completely, thus she nodded.
"What money?"
Just then, a calling voice ca from outside the door.
Turning her head, she saw her sister-in-law, Yu Xiuxiu, holding a "big white cat," watching the two inside the room with a stiff expression.
Oh no!
Had they just been caught?
