Chapter 51 The friendship of childhood sweethearts
Lin Xiuyan and Xu Qianting were very familiar with this area. They avoided Zhou Chenyang's path and sneaked into the alley tactfully.
She also stopped by a clothing store, picked out a sweater to change into, and washed her face.
Only her arm was injured and was still bleeding.
Xu Qianting hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine and bandaged her with medicine.
The two of them often got into fights and got into trouble together. After being injured, they would bandage up each other. These were all very natural things.
Lin Xiuyan grinned in pain: "Be gentle!"
Xu Qianting said hurriedly: "I'm already very light! Can you be more careful when fighting in the future? Don't always injure yourself!"
Lin Xiuyan glared at him: "You are worse than me. You can't even break into a gambling house."
Xu Qianting: "..."
He couldn't refute this.
He looked at her and said: "My father said before that after you and Zhou Chenyang break off your engagement, you will be in a lot of trouble in the future, but I still don't believe it."
"It's only been a few days and something like this has happened. Zhou Chenyang is really shameless."
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss today."
After she finished speaking, she said seriously: "Xu Qianting, thank you very much for today!"
Xu Qianting waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank my father. He is handling this matter today."
After he finished speaking, he asked curiously: "Last time, my father asked me to keep a distance from you, and locked me in the house, not letting me go out."
"Why did he suddenly change his mind today and want to get involved in your affairs?"
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "I don't know that either."
In fact, it was the letter she handed to Xu Shoubei that gave him a way to deal with Zhou Chenyang.
After Zhou Chenyang took office, he had trouble with Xu Shoubei several times. He was very disgusted with Zhou Chenyang and would not let go of the opportunity to deal with Zhou Chenyang.
It's just that the water here is very deep. Even if Lin Xiuyan told Xu Qianting, he might not be able to understand it in his mind, so she simply wouldn't say anything.
Xu Qianting's eyes suddenly lit up: "You said that my father helped you today, does that mean he agreed to my marrying you?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thought he was thinking too much.
She felt that with the sharpness she showed today and the number of people who died in the gambling house, Xu Shoubei would not let Xu Qianting come to her alone in the future.
Marry her? Don’t even think about it!
She reached out and patted Xu Qianting's shoulder and said, "I think it would be better for us to be brothers than husband and wife."
"Xu Qianting, I'm not suitable for you."
Xu Qianting was stunned for a moment, then stared at her: "Are you being shy?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Which of his eyes could tell that she was shy?
Xu Qianting smiled and said: "What kind of relationship do we have? What are you so shy about?"
"If you like me, just tell me directly. There is no need to use this retreat-to-advance approach."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Retreat to advance?
She really didn't!
Wait, what did he come up with!
She said anxiously: "No, I..."
"I understand!" Xu Qianting chuckled: "Girls are so thin-skinned! It's too embarrassing to say this directly!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, what are these?
Seeing her look, Xu Qianting smiled and said, "Are you being shy? You really don't have to be shy, after all, we are all so familiar."
"Don't worry, I will treat you well after we get married."
"Besides, you are familiar with my parents. After you marry me, you will be very happy getting along with them."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thinks he thinks too much!
She looked at him and saw that his eyes were as bright as stars, his eyes were clear and warm, and his face was still a bit childish.
This kind of him was the most beautiful existence in her green years in her previous life.
She relived her life and cherished everything she had now.
She wanted to pinch his ears and laugh and scold him like she did in her previous life, but she felt that such an action was too intimate and could easily cause him to misunderstand.
She knew clearly that she liked him, but this kind of liking had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it was just pure friendship.
And with the memories of her past life, it is difficult for her to love someone regardless of everything. In this life, she just wants to protect her parents, keep the family business, and will not marry.
She looked at him very seriously and said: "Xu Qianting, when you marry a virtuous wife, I am the one who caused the trouble. I am by no means the best candidate for my wife."
"You are a good person and deserve a better woman. Let's be good brothers for life!"
Xu Qianting was stunned for a moment and looked into her eyes. Her eyes were gentle and she looked much older than before.
He looked at her with pity: "You reject me like this because you don't want to drag me down, right? Hey! I'm not afraid of you dragging me down!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She discovered that his brain circuit seemed a little weird.
She wanted to explain, but he interrupted her happily and said, "You don't have to say anything anymore. I know it's for my own good that you reject me now."
"Zhou Chenyang is the lord of a city and is quite powerful, but I can also make myself very powerful to protect you!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She still couldn't explain it clearly to him!
Xu Qianting smiled and said: "I know you like me, that's all. Let's go, I'll take you home!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She gave Xu Qianting a complicated look, which was beyond explanation!
She let out a long sigh and decided to use actions to correct his wandering thoughts.
The gambling chips she was carrying could not be brought back to the Lin Mansion now. She knew that with Zhou Chenyang's urine, he would definitely go to the Lin Mansion to cause trouble if he suffered a big loss today.
She and Xu Qianting threw the chips into a nearby abandoned cellar.
Xu Qianting wanted to send her home, but she refused, so he could only go back to his home first.
As soon as Lin Xiuyan arrived at the door of Lin Mansion, Zhou Chenyang came over with someone.
Zhou Chenyang was stunned for a moment when he saw her. She was wearing a pink dress today, and she looked pretty and bright.
At this time, the wind blew through her hair, gently lifting it up and letting it down, adding a bit of free and easy style to her, smart and cute.
For the first time, he noticed that she seemed different from before. Her face was still the same, but her temperament was completely different.
Zhou Chenyang felt that with her temperament and appearance, she was barely worthy of him and qualified to bear a child for him.
It was only because he thought about the two of them that he broke off the engagement. She plotted against him again today, and this matter is not over!
He immediately said in a cold voice: "Lin Xiuyan, someone reported that you colluded with Jiang Yang gangsters and went to the gambling house to rob."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Xiuyan's reaction and shouted: "Come here, arrest her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers rushed toward Lin Xiuyan like wolves and tigers.
Lin Xiuyan looked back at Zhou Chenyang coldly, and she saw pride and contempt on his face.
His whole body seemed to be saying: "Please beg me! If you beg me, I will let you go!"
