Chapter 107 Enemies meet on a narrow road
She had thought about it before. When she was really short of money, she would ask Uncle Zhang to help her open a few shops to sell her skin care products. They would definitely sell well. No matter what time it was, women's money was always the easiest to make.
Finally, they came to the Treasure Pavilion they visited before. Li Fu and the others wanted to back out as soon as they saw the sign. "Sister Lan, let's not go in now. We really don't need these jewelry. Didn't the aunt just give us some? We can use them."
Li Mulan didn't even turn her head. "Oh, Sister Fu, I've seen those jewels. Many of them are too old-fashioned and not suitable for you and Sister Rong. Let's go pick some that are suitable for young women."
Li Rong was also anxious. They had just spent so much money, and the jewelry would definitely be more expensive. They couldn't buy any more.
"Sister Lan, we really don't want to do that anymore. Let's go back. We've been shopping for a long time."
Huo Yuanruo and Li Xi, who were not far away, didn't pay any attention to what they were talking about. They were busy feeding Li Lian. They both had a few bags of food in their hands, which they bought along the way.
Li Mulan turned to look at the two sisters, and just saw Huo Yuanruo stuffing a pickled plum into Li Lian's mouth. She said hurriedly, "You two should stop eating. Lian'er is so young, she can't eat too many things that are difficult to digest. I just saw her eat several kinds of cakes. She won't be able to eat for a while."
Li Lian touched her bulging belly and said obediently, "Brother Yuanruo, I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore."
Huo Yuanruo ignored Li Mulan, "Ah? Are you full after eating so little? Don't listen to your sister Lan. You are too thin. You need to eat more."
Qingyu stepped forward and touched the little girl's head, then said to Huo Yuanruo, "Okay, Lian'er is still young, it's not good for her to eat too much indigestible food. Besides, it will be lunchtime soon, if she eats any more, Lian'er probably won't be able to eat lunch."
"Oh, all right then." Huo Yuanruo stuffed the cake he was about to feed into his mouth, "Let's go to Sihailou for lunch later. I went there with Brother He yesterday, and the food there was pretty good."
Li Xi asked awkwardly, "Why didn't Brother Huo invite me to join you?"
"You? You have to do your homework, don't you? I'm afraid that you will be punished by your second uncle. The rabbit leg I brought you last night is from their family. It's not bad, right?"
Now Li Xi was happy again. Oh, by the way, Brother Huo brought him rabbit legs. He still cared about his friend very much. He smiled brightly and said, "Yeah, it's delicious."
As she spoke, Li Mulan had already pulled the two hesitant sisters into the store.
This time she didn't go up to the second floor directly, because she saw a lot of silk flowers and headbands downstairs, which were very cute and seemed very suitable for Xiaolian.
"Sister Fu, look at these silk flower headbands. Are they pretty? Should we buy some for Lian'er?"
When Li Fu heard that it was bought for her sister, she took a closer look. It was indeed beautiful, and she knew that this kind of thing was not expensive. "It looks good."
Li Lian, who had just entered the room, heard her name and hurriedly tried to get off Huo Yuanruo, "Brother Yuanruo, let me go quickly. I want to see it too."
The little girl ran over and said, "Wow! It's so beautiful. Sister Lan bought this for Lian'er?"
Li Mulan pinched the little girl's cheek, "Yes, Lian'er, do you like it? Take a look at which ones you like?"
Li Fu and Li Rong were holding a few silk flowers and gesturing at Li Lian's head. They looked very interested and much more relaxed than they had been all along the way.
In the end, they picked out more than a dozen items in total. Looking at the full boxes, Li Fu became worried again, "This... is too much."
Li Mulan didn't care at all. "Not much, not much. From now on, Lian'er, you can change the way you wear it every day, okay?"
Li Lian opened her big round eyes, jumping and dancing with joy. Li Fu looked at her sister so happy, and finally said nothing.
Qingyu noticed that Li Lian had pierced ears, so she picked out a few pairs of small earrings that were suitable for her and asked the boss to pack them up.
The shopkeeper naturally remembered a few of them, after all, they caused quite a stir last time.
Although the things he bought this time were not as valuable as last time, he still entertained her warmly, "Miss, do you want to see other things this time? Our store just got a new batch of goods yesterday? Would you like to come over and take a look?"
"Okay, I'll pick some for my two sisters. The shopkeeper, bring out some suitable ones for us to choose from."
The shopkeeper heard that there was a chance, and immediately made arrangements, "How about this, everyone continue to wait in the previous private room, and I will bring the things to the private room for you to choose from?"
Li Mulan thought this was a good idea and was about to agree when she heard a familiar voice, "Boss, what do you mean? Didn't you say that you wanted me to choose the new models first?"
Li Mulan turned her head to look at the sturdy figure. Oh, the enemy is always on the same path. Are they meeting again? She looked at Huo Yuanruo who was still teasing Li Lian with a bit of amusement.
As soon as the man entered the store, he glared at Li Rong, who was standing at the outermost corner, with disdain. Li Rong quickly stepped aside and stood behind Li Fu. Li Fu was also a little nervous, but seeing her sister was obviously a little scared, she still stood firmly in front of her to block the woman's malicious gaze.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Xue? We are really destined to meet." Li Mulan chuckled and walked in front of Li Fu and Li Rong.
Seeing the two of them facing each other, the shopkeeper's face was full of constipation. How come they met again? The eldest daughter of the Huo family was a tyrant, and he didn't dare to offend her. Should he hide again?
Huo Yuanruo also looked up at this time. Seeing that figure, he was happy, "Hey? It's you, Auntie. What a coincidence."
Hearing Huo Yuanruo's call, Xue Ruhua was so angry that she almost rushed forward, but was stopped by the pink-dressed maid behind her.
This maid is different from the last one. She looks more stable.
Huo Yuanruo seemed not to notice the murderous look in the other party's eyes and continued, "We waited for you here for a long time last time. Why didn't you come back? Didn't you go to look for someone?"
The pink-dressed maid spoke first, "Young Master, you are joking. It was all a misunderstanding last time. Our young lady has a free and easy personality and is not very particular about small matters. I hope you can forgive me."
Xue Ruhua was standing behind, her face turning pale and blue, and she was obviously very angry, but she held back and did not stop the maid from speaking.
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. This maid was interesting. The master hadn't spoken yet, but she was very active.
Huo Yuanruo crossed his arms, looking arrogant, "Humph, you don't care about small matters? Of course you are quite careless. You dare to let someone kidnap me in the street. If you don't know me, you would think I am a female bandit from some mountain."
Xue Ruhua couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the maid away. "Don't be so proud, you little brat. Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you are the city lord's guest. I'll let my father teach me a lesson when I get home. Do you think I'm really afraid of you?"
