Chapter 442 Leaving the Si Mansion
Cheng Yuner's voice was gentle and soft, and one could tell at once that she was the daughter of a large family, but there was a hint of coldness and distance in her voice.
Others might not be able to see it, but after what happened yesterday and knowing her well, Li Xiaoxiao naturally understood it clearly.
"That's great, Miss Cheng, what kind of food do you like? I'll ask the chef to prepare it for you, and I guarantee that your mouth will be filled with grease and your face will be shiny."
Since Cheng Yun'er wants me to marry Cheng Kun, she must have a conspiracy. Let's wait and see what tricks she is going to play.
Hearing her greasy mouth and greasy face, Cheng Yun'er felt that even if Li Xiaoxiao had some talent, she was not worthy of being in a refined occasion. She spoke so vulgarly, which showed that she had overestimated her before.
"I'm not picky about food. Just arrange it for me, little girl." Even though Cheng Yun'er was unhappy in her heart, she still pretended to be amiable on her face.
"Then Miss Cheng, please wait a moment. I will serve you our specialty hot pot right away." Let me arrange it for you, and I will definitely arrange it for you.
Soon, Li Xiaoxiao made a special spicy dish for Cheng Yuner, which was covered with a thick layer of red oil. Then she picked out the most expensive dishes and served her more than ten portions, all of which were meat dishes.
After just one look, Cheng Yun'er looked away. She said that she came to try the hot pot but it was just a cover. Her main purpose was to find Li Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you for your hard work, little girl. I see your shop is not busy now. Why don't you sit down with me and have a meal together?" Cheng Yun'er smiled politely.
"Okay, thank you Miss Cheng." Li Xiaoxiao sat down without hesitation after hearing that. She hadn't eaten lunch at noon as she had been busy with the barbecue. She was really hungry now. Anyway, someone was paying for it, so it would be a waste if she didn't eat, and it would be a waste if she did eat.
He skillfully put a plate of meat into the pot, and burned charcoal fire underneath. Soon, the hot pot was bubbling.
Cheng Yun'er sat there motionless, showing no intention of eating at all. Li Xiaoxiao ignored her and picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and put it into her mouth with a grunt.
Li Xiaoxiao is usually very dignified, but when she eats, she doesn't have the manners a woman should have, which makes Cheng Yuner even more disdainful.
A gust of wind blew away the clouds, and Li Xiaoxiao burped after a full meal. He put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, and then suddenly looked up at Cheng Yuner.
"I was just busy eating. Why didn't Miss Cheng move her chopsticks? Is it not to her liking?" Li Xiaoxiao asked innocently.
"I can't eat spicy food, so you can eat it yourself." Cheng Yun'er explained to her in a soft voice.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have put so much chili in it. I wouldn't have let you spend so much money." Li Xiaoxiao felt amused and said it in a high-sounding manner. Anyway, he had told the chef almost everything he needed to tell, and there was nothing else to do, so he was just waiting for her to speak.
"Just consider it as me treating you to a meal. I have another thing I came here for today." Seeing that the time was almost right, Cheng Yun'er thought about it quickly in her mind.
"Ms. Cheng, please speak." Li Xiaoxiao sat upright and came as expected.
"It's like this. I heard that you live with your cousin, is that right?" Cheng Yun'er asked tentatively, her eyes fixed on Li Xiaoxiao.
"Yes, my cousin is a kind-hearted person. Since we came to the capital, he has let us live with him. What's the problem?" Li Xiaoxiao asked innocently.
"There is no problem, it's just that you are a single man and a single woman, and it might not be good for a long time, right?" Cheng Yun'er coughed lightly and said tactfully.
"What's wrong with this? We are not a single man and a single woman as Miss Cheng said. Our family all lives with my cousin and no one will gossip about us." Li Xiaoxiao kindly explained to her.
"In that case, I'll just say what I want to say straight away." Cheng Yun'er lowered her head shyly.
Looking at her shy movements, Li Xiaoxiao remained calm and listened quietly to her next words.
"I like my cousin, so please leave his house. I will find you a place to live, or give you some money, which is better than that environment." In ancient times, men and women were strictly separated. If words like what Cheng Yun'er said were known to others, she would be criticized.
An unmarried woman should never say such things.
Li Xiaoxiao was really surprised. All the things that she couldn't understand now became clear to her. No wonder she wanted to marry Cheng Kun. It turned out that he wanted to remove this stumbling block.
But, did she show that she liked Si Chengxu? It was really puzzling why Cheng Yuner would think so.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was frowning and not saying anything, Cheng Yun'er thought that she was reluctant to leave, so she reached into her arms, took something out and put it on the table in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
Looking at her inexplicable behavior, Li Xiaoxiao frowned even deeper and reached out to open the paper in front of him.
The moment Li Xiaoxiao saw the content above, he lost his composure. It turned out to be a silver note with a face value of five thousand taels.
Then I thought of a joke I often heard before: I will give you five million and you will leave your boyfriend. Unexpectedly, in her new life, she would encounter such a thing.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao hesitated. Cheng Yuner's meaning was very clear. She just wanted to get things done in exchange for money.
If he accepted her banknotes, he would have to leave the Si Mansion. The key point was that she had wanted to leave for a long time. Moreover, with the money she had now, it was enough to buy a big house in the capital.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's conflicted face, Cheng Yun'er's face darkened and she took out another bill from her arms. This bill was for two thousand taels, making a total of seven thousand taels.
Li Xiaoxiao secretly sighed in her heart that Cheng Yun'er really thought highly of her and was very generous. If she didn't want it, who knows what a rich lady like her would think.
Anyway, she had money but didn't know where to spend it, so she might as well help her out of kindness. Li Xiaoxiao finally made up her mind.
"Ms. Cheng, what do you mean?"
"Leave the Si Mansion and all this money will be yours." At this point, there was no need for Cheng Yun'er to beat around the bush with her anymore.
"This matter is not something I can decide alone. I will discuss it with them when I go back." Li Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed and suppressed her excitement well.
"You can use this money to rent a house, or add some more money to buy a house. I hope Miss Li can consider it carefully." Seven thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount.
Cheng Yun'er knew that she had not taken back the betrothal gifts sent to her when she was engaged to Cheng Kun. With the addition of these seven thousand taels, it would be enough to buy a house.
"Of course. As long as I accept the money from Miss Cheng, I will naturally do things according to your requirements. I understand all this." Li Xiaoxiao took the banknotes without hesitation. The feeling of having the money in his hand was, in one word, awesome.
That night, Li Xiaoxiao went back and told Si Chengxu about this.
"So, you accepted her money." Si Chengxu's black eyes flashed with an unknown light.
