After Li Jin said that, everyone looked at each other. They couldn’t figure it out either.
Xia Ye walked around anxiously. In the end, she pointed at Zhao Jin’s shop and said, “I’ll ask the owner of this shop. Xia Wan has a stall in front of his door every day. If she’s missing, he’ll know the reason.”
Li Jin also quickly urged, “Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go ask.”
Xia Ye quickly ran over. Zhao Jin was still sitting calmly inside. When he saw
Xia Ye enter, all he did was ask politely, “What do you want to buy?”
Xia Ye asked anxiously, “It’s about that Xia Wan, who set up a stall in front of your shop. Why didn’t she set up today? Do you know where she went?”
Zhao Jin’s lowered eyes turned cold, but he did not let Xia Ye see it. Xia Wan had warned him before that people might ask her about not setting up her stall, and Xia Wan had even made up some excuses for that.
When Zhao Jin raised his head again, he returned to his usual faint smile.
You’re talking about the stall in front of our shop, right? I’ve heard of it before. Many of their clothes had not been sold recently, so her boss got angry and asked them to bring the stock back for an exchange of styles. She also told me that this trip might take three days. She said that if anyone asked, I would tell them that they should return to pick up the goods in three days.
“What? Three days? Boss, do you know where Xia Wan and the others are staying? I really have something urgent to tell her. I’m her cousin and something big has happened at home.” Xia Ye urgently stressed.
When he heard Xia Ye, say that she was Xia Wan’s cousin, Zhao Jin’s eyes turned even colder. He had heard Xia Wan mention this family before.
So, Zhao Jin knew very well what the family was like.
Zhao Jin was disdainful of such snobbish, realistic, and cold relatives.
“I’m not here to look after her stall,” he said directly. “It’s just that when her business is good, some customers might also stop by our shop, so I didn’t drive her away. We are not even that close, so how would I know where she lives now?”
Zhao Jin acted as if he was not familiar with Xia Wan, and he even became a little impatient. “Do you want to buy something? If you won’t buy anything, hurry up and leave. Don’t stand here and disrupt my business.”
Xia Ye realized that she could not get anything out of Zhao Jin’s shop, so she left angrily. She could not help but turn around and glare at Zhao Jin’s shop. In her heart, she cursed at the shop owner for being such a bad person. He was so rude, and he clearly didn’t like her.
After Xia Ye returned, Li Jin asked anxiously, “How did it go? Do you have any news of Xia Wan’s family?”
Xia Ye shook her head, feeling wronged. “No, the owner doesn’t know either. He even chased me out and said that I would disrupt his schedule if I stood there.
After hearing Xia Ye’s words, Li Jin did not feel that she had been wronged. Instead, he looked at her with a little resentment.
“You’re such a useless thing. You said you could find Xia Wan, but her stall is gone, and you don’t even know when she’ll come back. What else can you do? ”
Xia Ru laughed coldly. Xia Ye, I really believed that you would be able to find Xia Wan. I was even thinking that if you really found her, as her sister, I would give this opportunity to you, but you’re just too useless. You didn’t even take the chance I gave you.
Xia Ye, this means that you’re not fated to marry Lu Lin. 11 m the one who should marry him.
Xia Ye was unhappy when she heard this. She glared at Xia Ru unwillingly. “Now that Xia Wan’s family can’t find it, and we dont even have a token, who can stop Lu Lin when he gets angry? And you’re still fighting with me over this? If you’re so capable, you should have directly persuaded Lu Lin to be with you.”
After Xia Ye’s provocation, Xia Ru’s fighting spirit was reignited.
“Isn’t it just to change Lu Lin’s mind so he won’t cause trouble for our family? Even if I don’t have the token, I can still deal with Lu Lin.” After Xia Ru spoke, everyone looked at her in shock.
Xia Ru also realized that she didn’t seem to have much confidence. When she thought about Lu Lin’s fierce look, she actually felt scared..
