"What? Engagement!"

Standing in the small courtyard, Shen Xiao's pupils shrank, and he did not expect Ji Chuyan to say this.

Ji Chuyan is willing to provide help and let Shen Xiao deal with Zhao Guixia, and Ji Chuyan is also willing to repay Shen Xiao's kindness.

So Ji Chuyan's offer to help Shen Xiao was not a big deal.

Shen Xiao had really considered using Ji Chuyan's help to deal with Qingshui County Magistrate.

But if Ji Chuyan wants to commit himself and make a marriage contract with Shen Xiao, it is not Ji Chuyan's repayment of gratitude to Shen Xiao.

"Yes, it is our engagement. After you and I make the engagement, it will be legal to do certain things."

"You can get help from the Ji family, and as for me, I can repay the favor of saving my life!"

Ji Chuyan smiled slightly, as if he knew that Shen Xiao was extremely cautious and would not agree quickly.

Shen Xiao did not agree immediately, and Ji Chuyan was willing to explain to Shen Xiao.

Nowadays, Ji Chuyan obviously has some secrets and has not told Shen Xiao.

Moreover, Ji Chuyan did not intend to tell Shen Xiao what he had in mind.

"Help……"

Shen Xiao muttered and took a deep look at Ji Chuyan.

At this moment, Shen Xiao was not sure what Ji Chuyan was going to do. Listening to Ji Chuyan's words, Shen Xiao didn't believe it at all.

But whether Shen Xiao wanted to refuse, Shen Xiao did not refuse Ji Chuyan's marriage contract request immediately.

"In that case, let's sit down and talk."

"I have three chapters to follow regarding this engagement."

Shen Xiao thought for a while and sat on the chair next to him. Since the engagement was involved, he naturally wanted to talk.

At the moment, Shen Xiao is not confused about whether to make an engagement with Ji Chuyan.

Anyway, Shen Xiao doesn't suffer any loss inside or out. Ji Chuyan and Shen Xiao have made an engagement, and Shen Xiao is alone and has nothing to lose.

The Ji family behind Ji Chuyan can be said to be a big family and a big business. There is no need for Shen Xiao to reject Ji Chuyan immediately, but he also has his own requirements.

"Oh, please say it!"

Ji Chuyan signaled Shen Xiao to propose conditions, and then Ji Chuyan followed Shen Xiao and sat on a chair in the courtyard.

As long as Shen Xiao agrees to the engagement, the three chapters of the contract are nothing to Ji Chuyan.

"I'm afraid my identity is not a secret in the eyes of some people."

"The Ji family came to visit us. We will use the Ji family to cover up many plans in the future."

Shen Xiao had a smile on his lips. Seeing Ji Chuyan like this, he actually had some concerns in his heart.

Ji Chuyan's proposal of engagement was probably related to Shen Xiao's deepest identity.

Apart from that, Shen Xiao probably doesn't have any other attractions.

"First, you and I each take what we need and don't have to be obsessed with the word husband and wife. I, Shen Xiao, promise that I will never threaten the Ji family for this."

"Second, if both sides are in danger of being destroyed in the future, leave a way out for the other side."

"Third, the Ji family cannot interfere with my actions without my permission."

Shen Xiao thought for a moment and said this.

Just taking advantage of the Ji family's small plans behind Ji Chuyan's back, Shen Xiao also found an excuse for himself to hide his identity.

No matter what Shen Xiao does in the future, it will be for the "interests" of the Ji family. Ji Chuyan, the Ji family will gain, and Shen Xiao will not suffer losses.

"It...it seems that Mr. Shen has thought everything out."

Ji Chuyan was a little stunned, not expecting that Shen Xiao had calculated everything.

It seems that it is a negotiation between Ji Chuyan and Shen Xiao. In fact, Ji Chuyan only needs to answer Shen Xiao whether he agrees or not.

"The first thing is to reassure me that I don't have to be burdened by the name of husband and wife, and that I don't have true feelings."

Ji Chuyan thought in his heart that Shen Xiao was indeed cautious.

The first condition given to Ji Chuyan is to ensure that Shen Xiao Huiqiu does not commit any crime.

Ji Chuyan doesn't have anything to worry about. Shen Xiao and Ji Chuyan are engaged. They just get what they need.

Villain first, gentleman later. Shen Xiao explained everything clearly, and Ji Chuyan's doubts naturally disappeared.

Although she was quite fond of Shen Xiao, Ji Chuyan was not too enthusiastic about this engagement, she just wanted to reassure her grandfather.

Shen Xiao's assurance at this moment made the stone in Ji Chuyan's heart disappear.

"The second point, the third point, it seems that Shen Xiao is doing it for himself, but in fact it is also giving some guarantee to the Ji family. This Shen Xiao has high aspirations and is not a thing in the pool. If Shen Xiao succeeds, the Ji family will not suffer losses, but if Shen Xiao fails, "Those who do not know the Ji family are not guilty..."

Thinking of this, Ji Chuyan had no objection to Shen Xiao's request.

Ji Chuyan doesn't have to worry about Shen Xiao's fake show, and the Ji family is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.

Of course, Shen Xiao can get some support through this, which is the price Ji Chuyan and the Ji family have to pay.

"Young Master Shen has already said it so thoroughly. Everything will be done as Young Master Shen said."

Ji Chuyan picked up the teapot on the table in front of her and poured a cup of tea for herself and Shen Xiao, indicating that she was willing to agree to this request.

At the request of Ji Chuyan's grandfather, the Ji family naturally helped Shen Xiao. The most important thing was what Ji Chuyan thought.

These words of Shen Xiao completely won over Ji Chuyan.

"please!"

Facing Ji Chuyan's tea, Shen Xiao drank it all in one gulp.

"We can't stay here for long, why not go to the Ji family's manor?"

Ji Chuyan was satisfied and just happened to see what Shen Xiao was doing.

For Ji Chuyan, the good show in Qingshui County has begun because of Shen Xiao.

"That's fine!"

Shen Xiao nodded and took a look at the Shen family's house without lingering too much.

This house, as well as various properties, were ultimately owned by Zhao Guixia because of Chu Wenbo and Zhao Guixia's hands.

If Shen Xiao wants to get it back, he must get it back from the official side...

In the Chu family, Zhao Guixia was waiting anxiously at the back door.

Shen Xiao fully recovered, and with the support of a mysterious figure, Zhao Guixia was afraid that she would get into big trouble.

Although Zhao Guixia was proud of herself in front of Shen Xiao, Zhao Guixia was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Why haven't you come out yet!"

Zhao Guixia muttered, because she was too nervous, her nails were deeply embedded in her hands, and she didn't even notice.

Chu Wenbo was Zhao Guixia's backer, but Chu Wenbo now seems to be the first to soften.

"Mrs. Shen, my young master asked me to tell you that he has temporarily left to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. You can wait in the next few days!"

Chu Wenbo's book boy came out of the back door and told Zhao Guixia softly.

Chu Wenbo, who was still in the Shen family just now, suddenly returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so Zhao Guixia could no longer see Chu Wenbo.

Such a statement made Zhao Guixia completely stunned.

"What?"

Zhao Guixia pretended to be calm, but she was completely panicked inside.

Chu Wenbo was obviously looking for excuses to avoid seeing her, which meant that Chu Wenbo had to at least wait and see about Shen Xiao's matter.

Before Zhao Guixia came, she thought that she would serve Chu Wenbo well, and then Zhao Guixia would completely take over Shen Xiao's family business.

But no matter what the reason was, Chu Wenbo's temporary absence from Zhao Guixia had already made Chu Wenbo's attitude clear.

"Madam, Master Chu is not here, let's sell some shops now..."

Next to Zhao Guixia, a skinny old man with a mustache looked around and then quietly asked.

This man's surname is Chen, and he is the accountant hired privately by Zhao Guixia.

When Zhao Guixia embezzled Shen Xiao's property, it was the accountant Chen who helped. The daily operation of the industry also relied on the accountant Chen.

When Shen Xiao came back, the first person who was worried about trouble was Zhao Guixia, and the second person was Accountant Chen.

"Sell some small shops first to raise some money, and don't expose the news!"
