Chapter 1669: Earning Small Money Quietly
During the day, Yu Mo did go out for a social event and met a young man from the Western Regions.
The young master came from a wealthy family in the Western Regions. He was very arrogant and would not allow anyone to follow him. Only a maid who was a few years older than him followed him closely.
As a person who had experienced this, Yu Mo could tell at a glance that the relationship between the two was unusual, and he even accidentally heard the young man call her "sister".
So this happened.
He also wanted to try and see what would happen if he called Shi Li "sister".
Unexpectedly, Shi Li suspected what he had done outside. Yu Mo immediately sat up, put his head on Shi Li's shoulder, and snuggled up to her, saying, "I just met a young man from the Western Regions... I'm going to invite him to a banquet tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?"
He saw that the other person had someone to accompany him, and he also felt jealous. Shi Li looked at him strangely, but under such expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.
The next day, the couple went to a banquet together.
As expected by Yu Mo, the spoiled young master still only had that well-educated maid by his side. The maid's behavior and conversation did not seem like someone from the Western Regions, but she was also infinitely indulgent to the young master.
Shi Li only took a few glances and understood what was going on. She glared at Yu Mo helplessly and speechlessly. Yu Mo did not feel ashamed. He not only smiled back at her, but also quietly held her hand under the table.
Now that his business has expanded to the Western Regions, if one day he is really suspected by those in power, he can take Shi Li to the Western Regions and will not let her suffer.
Yu Mo arranged everything properly and casually pushed a plate of dried apricots in front of Shi Li. He always remembered that Shi Li liked this the most.
The young master from the Western Regions didn't seem to have much interest in business matters, and left almost all of it to the maidservants around him. Instead, he kept asking Yu Mo where he could buy the best rouge.
After asking several times, although Yu Mo was confused, he answered patiently until he heard the young master whisper to the maid: "The rouge here is definitely not as good as the one I made myself."
Yu Mo: ...
Okay, okay, he lost.
Shi Li also heard this.
In order to prevent Yu Mo from doing anything weird, when she left the table, she first said, "You know, I never use rouge, so don't bother with that."
Yu Mo: ...
Well, my thoughts were guessed.
He really wanted to do some research on it. After all, if the men in the Western Regions could do it, there was nothing he couldn't do.
The man's strange desire to win was revealed again at this moment.
Seeing Yu Mo, who looked unhappy after being rejected, Shi Li sighed helplessly, "The weather outside is pretty good today, will you walk with me?"
When someone is unhappy, she always has to comfort them.
The two men asked the carriage to go back first and walked back slowly.
There weren't many people on the road, I just happened to pass by Liu's house on my way back.
Now this is still the Liu family's place, but it is very different from when Shi Li lived here before.
She and Yu Mo conscientiously helped Liu Qihan a lot in secret, which was considered as a return for the properties that Liu's father gave to Shi Li.
But Liu Qihan was like a hopeless person who couldn't do any business well. Liu's mother and Wen Shiqing were also useless. One of them didn't want to go out at all, and the other always offended someone every time she went out.
After a few times, Liu Qihan stopped letting her go out.
In such a day, Liu Qihan could live well by guarding his original family business. But a few years ago, Liu Qihan entered the gambling house.
Once you leave, there is no turning back.
Shi Li and Yu Mo sent people to persuade him gently, but good words could not persuade a damned ghost. Liu Qihan was obsessed with the idea of getting rich from this, but in the end he ruined the Liu family and left nothing.
Wen Shiqing treated her sincerely. Even though the Liu family had lost everything, she did not leave and stayed in the Liu family with her child every day.
Later, Shi Li counted the things that Liu's father had given her, took out half of it and secretly gave it to Wen Shiqing to prevent Liu Qihan from gambling again. She didn't dare let him know about this.
After all, if it weren't for Liu's father's generosity, she wouldn't have had so many properties now. Liu's father did have some plans for her, but she would feel guilty if she didn't give back something after getting the benefits.
Looking at the dilapidated wall outside the Liu family's house, Shi Li shook his head and sighed.
Even if you have a fortune, you cannot guard against a prodigal son.
"Lili, it's time to go home." Perhaps because she had been distracted for too long, Yu Mo held her hand and urged her to keep going.
In this way, the two of them walked together from youth to old age.
Peace, prosperity, happiness and well-being.
