The boss of the stall looked at the backs of the two of them, and the corners of his stubble-covered mouth curled up slightly. Then, he picked up his phone and said, “Everyone, pay attention. There are two foolish and rich fools coming to the market. A clueless beauty in a white coat, and a brainless young man in a black down jacket. They love to bargain for half price.”
The two people who knew nothing about this were foolishly paying for groceries along the way.
When they arrived at a stall selling glutinous rice cakes, Guan Lei looked at
Shen Xi and said to the boss, “Boss, one box. How much is it?”
The boss raised his head and looked at Guan Lei and Shen Xi from head to toe.
Then, he grinned and said, “100 yuan.”
Guan Lei was slightly stunned. He might not know the price of other dishes, but when he was in Rong City, he had bought this glutinous rice cake for Shen Xi. Wasn’t it only 10 yuan per serving?
Even if the prices in Beijing were high, it couldn’t be 10 times the price, right?
Could it be that everything in the wet market had to be bargained at half price?
Shen Xi, who was at the side, said seriously, “It’s too expensive. 50 yuan.” The boss looked troubled. “This 50 yuan is really not enough.”
However, the two of them, who had some experience, insisted to pay only 50 yuan.
Originally, 50 yuan was fine, but the boss looked at Guan Lei and said, “How about 70 yuan? Young fella, you have a really good taste to marry such a good and pretty wife. The weather outside the market is so cold, buy some glutinous rice cakes for your wife to warm her stomach.”
When Guan Lei heard the word ” wife,” he gave the stall owner a thumbs up in his heart. He was indeed a businessman with good taste.
Guan Lei took out a 100 yuan note and handed it to the boss. He said generously, “100 yuan for one serving. Just based on what you said, it’s worth
it.”
Shen Xi glared at Guan Lei. Guan Lei directly ignored the glare that was not lethal at all. He then held Shen Xi’s hand and said, “A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy my affection, alright?”
Shen Xi thought about it. Luckily, she had saved a lot of money today. She would let Guan Lei be willful for once. “Alright, as long as you’re happy.”
Guan Lei held the warm glutinous rice cake and happily stuffed it into Shen Xi’s mouth. With the sweet glutinous rice cake in her mouth and Guan Lei smiling sweetly in front of her, Shen Xi was also happy deep down.
The boss watched the two of them gradually leave and recorded a voice message on the phone, “The male fool is gullible and easily swayed by sweet words. He has a love-struck mind and is just like a silly dog, craving to hear romantic words. So, say more of them and earn even more.”
When the people in the group heard the boss’s voice message, they instantly became happy. They were all curious about what this silly dog looked like. Originally, everyone was not busy at noon. Moreover, it was winter, so there were fewer people out, so there were more people watching the show.
However, he didn’t expect these two fools to be so good-looking. That male who was like a silly dog was also quite handsome.
“Don’t you think that the people around us are looking at us a little strangely?” Guan Lei whispered into Shen Xi’s ear.
Shen Xi nodded and said, “Those eyes look like they’re looking at a fool.”
The two of them instantly lowered their heads to look at their clothes. There was nothing wrong with them.
The two of them couldn’t stand these strange gazes. They hurriedly bought some things and ran away.
Shen Yan and his wife arrived at the airport around four or five o’clock in the afternoon. Shen Xi happily picked up her parents and went to the villa that the Shen and Lu families bought together.
Looking at Shen Xi’s villa, Shen Yan and Lu Shan felt a little relieved. It seemed that their parents’ attitudes were not so tough. Other than sadness, they also felt guilty for not being by their parents’ side for so many years.
“Dad, Mom, why are you standing there? Hurry up and come in.” Shen Xi said to Shen Yan and his wife who were standing at the door in a daze.
Guan Lei also quickly helped Shen Yan and his wife carry their luggage.
Watching Guan Lei busy himself, Lu Shan’s eyes lit up with curiosity. It seemed that Guan Lei and her daughter were getting along quite well.
On the other hand, Shen Yan looked at Guan Lei with a strong unfriendly gaze. While Shen Xi and Lu Shan were tidying up, he pulled Guan Lei aside and asked softly, “Did you and Xi do anything inappropriate?”
Guan Lei’s brows were slightly flustered as he hurriedly said to his future father-in-law, “Uncle, we didn’t do anything. I’ve always remembered your instructions and didn’t dare to act rashly.”
Guan Lei spoke very quickly as if he was afraid that his future wife would fly away if he delayed for a second.
Shen Yan’s suspicious gaze scanned Guan Lei’s face several times before saying, “You’re clever, I’ll give you that..”
