On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law

  Chapter 15 The Second Choice

   "It's the restaurant left by my mother. I used to be young, so I had to hand over Jixianglou to the shopkeeper Wu." Gu Xiyan said concisely.

   "Whose idea was it for Jixianglou's new dishes every month?" Su Mei was extremely curious.

"When I have nothing to do in the mansion, I will study some dishes, and if I think it is good, I will tell the shopkeeper Wu." Gu Xiyan poured a cup of tea for Su Mei: "Ah Mei, I asked you to come here today, I want to cooperate with you .”

  Su Mei is still immersed in the fact that the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Jixianglou is Gu Xiyan. She never thought that the owner of Jixiang Building, which is well-known in the capital, is Miss Gu who is unknown in the Wanqinghou Mansion.

   After a while, she slowed down and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"

"The Hou family has a large population, and Lord Hou is a close minister of the emperor. I am fostered under the name of Lord Hou, and there are many things that are inconvenient to come forward. You are different. The Su family is a business family. You have been fascinated by it since childhood, and there are many things that I can't do. You can do it…"

  Hearing this, Su Mei smiled wryly: "Xiyan, you think highly of me, I'm not as capable as you said."

  Just talking about Suho, she can't compare.

  Although she dislikes Su Ho very much, and thinks Su Ho is hypocritical and vicious, it is undeniable that Su Ho is a woman with a brain.

   "Do you think you are inferior to Su He?" Gu Xiyan saw through Su Mei's confusion at a glance.

"How can I compare to her? My father used to value me the most, but now he often takes Su Ho by his side. Half a month ago, my father told me that if Su Ho were a man, the Su family would surely flourish. To be like my father A compliment can tell Su Ho's ability." Su Mei lowered her eyebrows.

  Gu Xiyan thought of Su Ho's expanded business territory in her previous life. She did not deny that Su Ho was powerful, and she even tried to win over Su Ho.

  But in the end she followed her heart and chose Su Mei.

   "You don't need to belittle yourself. Su Ho is good, and you are not bad. Besides, if you don't threaten Su Ho, she will drug you. Do you want to destroy your innocence in that way?"

  Su Mei was facing Gu Xiyan's firm and warm gaze.

   "You don't need to deny yourself completely. Even if you and I are not as good as Su Ho, shouldn't we just admit defeat? Are you willing?" Gu Xiyan understands Su Mei's love and hate too well.

  Because everything she experienced, Su Mei also experienced.

  Their biological mothers were squeezed out by their aunts, and their biological mothers all died young. At least Su Mei still has Su Jing's father's love. Since her mother passed away, she has lost everything.

   "I'm not reconciled!" Su Mei took a long time before uttering these three words firmly.

  Gu Xiyan deliberately changed the previous heavy topic, jokingly said: "That's right. I came to you today, just to discuss with you about building a business kingdom with all aspects of basic necessities of life..."

  Su Mei was drinking tea, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea when she heard this: "Will this be too ambitious?"

   It also covers all aspects of basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation. It would be nice to be able to do well in one of the industries.

   Gu Xiyan may have forgotten that they are just women, and women have constraints in everything they do. It is easy to say, but difficult to implement.

   "If you think about it, you won't break the law, right? I'm just joking, don't worry..."

  Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief, she was really shocked by Gu Xiyan's words just now.

   "I think 'food' comes first for basic necessities, rice, oil and salt, and rice and salt are the top priorities. If we can become the largest grain merchant in the country, we will make a big difference in food..."

  Gu Xiyan was eloquent, Su Mei listened carefully, but also in a daze.

  When I saw Gu Xiyan at the birthday banquet the day before yesterday, I only said that she was very quiet and seldom talked, but today, Gu Xiyan is in high spirits, like two completely different people.

"If there is no accident, there will be a food famine in the next three years, and the price of rice will continue to rise. The rise of rice prices will affect the fortune of the Jin Dynasty. If we can become a grain merchant with the right to speak, we may be able to stop this time. Food crisis..." Gu Xiyan's voice faded away.

  The saddest thing is that the instigator of the food famine was Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing deliberately created this food crisis because of his own selfishness.

  The two talked while eating and exchanged a lot of opinions. In the end, Su Mei also thought that Gu Xiyan could make suggestions behind her back, and she would do things to show her face.

   But they are women, and many things are not suitable to show up, so they still have to hire errands to run errands.

  Seeing the rapid passage of time, the discussion between the two came to an end.

   Before leaving, Gu Xiyan thought of Xu Yongqian again: "Do you have any intersection with the son of Qi Anbo?"

  Su Mei froze for a moment, a suspicious blush appeared on her face.

  Seeing this, Gu Xiyan screamed inwardly. Seeing Su Mei's expression, Xu Yongqian and Su Mei may have been in contact for a long time.

   "I've met you a few times before, why did you suddenly mention Xu Shizi?" Su Mei was facing Gu Xiyan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, her heart sank slightly.

   "Then do you know that Xu Shizi and Su He have already secretly negotiated the song? Amei, if you like Xu Shizi, I advise you to stop here. Xu Shizi likes Su He, he is not your lover."

   Gu Xiyan had just finished speaking when she saw Su Mei's face turn pale.

   "Yes, but Su He's innocence has been ruined by His Royal Highness King Qin, there is no possibility between them." Su Mei resisted the discomfort in her heart, but still held a glimmer of hope.

Gu Xiyan sighed softly, and asked after a while: "So do you still want to like a man who hides another woman in his heart? Even if you marry Xu Shizi one day, but he can't let go of Su Ho, what he thought when he talked to you It's Suho, when he slept with you, he still thought of Suho, one day you gave birth to a child, and he thought in his heart how good it would be if it were Suho's child..."

   "Stop talking!" Su Mei's eyes turned red anxiously.

  Gu Xiyan's apricot eyes are as gentle as water: "Look, I just said that you can't stand it, if one day you really live like this, you will die."

  In the previous life, Su Mei really died in depression, just for a man who was not worth it.

Su Mei didn't want to continue this topic, but Gu Xiyan continued cruelly: "As far as I know, Xu Shizi has a deep-rooted affection for Su He. Such a man is not worthy of your heart. If I were you, I would stop in time." damage."

   "To put it lightly, I have liked him for three years, and you tell me how to erase him from my heart? He is obviously very gentle to me, and he is clearly affectionate when he looks at me..."

"Do you think he went to the Su Mansion to see you? Wrong, the person he really wants to see is Su Ho. It's just that Su Ho is good at manipulating people's hearts, and the trick of wanting to greet or reject makes him so perfect that he fascinated Xu Shizi." You are so fascinated. Xu Shizi clearly likes Su Ho in his heart, but he still gives you hope. What do you think he is thinking? In my opinion, he just wants to use you to attract Su Ho's attention." Gu Xiyan said The language points out the mystery.

  In her previous life, she thought that Su Mei fell in love with Xu Yongqian at first sight, but she was also wrong.

  Su Mei's face was as pale as paper, and she looked at Gu Xiyan in disbelief.

"I still say the same thing, Xu Yongqian is definitely not your lover. We women should not be trapped in love between men and women, you should come out, your horizons will be broadened in the future, and love between men and women can be seen more openly." Gu Xiyan persuaded earnestly He said: "Look at me, didn't I also get annulled by His Royal Highness King Qin? His Highness King Qin withdrew my marriage and proposed marriage to Liu Chaoyan three days later. Do you know what His Highness Qin Wang said to me on my grandmother's birthday banquet? He told me in the same tone that he can accept me as his side concubine."

   "It's ridiculous!" Su Mei was very angry when she heard the words.

"I also find it ridiculous. But what can I do? He is King Qin, His Majesty's beloved son, capable, capable, and powerful. How can I, an orphan girl, compete with someone like His Highness King Qin? Then I just sit and wait for him Are you going to mess with me?"

   "Of course you can't just sit and wait for death!" Su Mei was filled with righteous indignation, and she had long forgotten about her past.

Gu Xiyan smiled when she heard the words, "So I want to find a way by myself, even if I hit a stone with a pebble, and my head is broken, I will try it. What about you, you would like to be the shadow of Su Ho, the son of Xu Shi Is it a second choice?"

  Su Mei was silent for a long time before shaking her head: "I don't want to."

   "Amei, let's work hard, it doesn't matter if we fail. If there is really no place for us in this place, we will leave this city at worst."

  Su Mei didn't hesitate this time, and nodded vigorously: "I'll listen to you."

   However, she knows that it is not so easy to let go of Xu Yongqian.

  Gu Xiyan took a step forward and hugged Su Mei.

   This is the first friend she has made in two lifetimes. They can trust each other and support each other to go on.

  After Su Mei left for a quarter of an hour, Gu Xiyan got up and left.

  When she walked out of Jixiang Building, it was raining heavily, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the shops were almost closed, which was completely opposite to the bustle when she came.

   Slanting wind mixed with drizzle blowing towards the face, as if bringing a chill in autumn.

  Qiu Shi held an oil-paper umbrella and walked with Gu Xiyan in the misty autumn rain.

  The sky and the earth were gray, only Gu Xiyan's master and servant were brightly colored, which became the most eye-catching scene in the rain.

   Zhou Mu was riding in a carriage and had just returned from Fallen Immortal Temple.

  He was reading a book, when the autumn wind picked up, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and with a quick glance, he saw the girl walking in the rain.

  Even without seeing her face, he recognized Gu Xiyan at a glance.

  —

  Speechless, I actually forgot the chapter in the early morning, and my memory is getting worse and worse.

  Everyone, vote after reading, leave some footprints, and run away after reading the watch.
