Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Chapter 210 A Visit from afar

The two of them walked to the old crooked tree. Qingsheng put Ranmo down, then nodded towards the door of the house for Ranmo to look.

Ran Mo didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, and looked over. He saw a man standing at the door of his house, wearing a long gown, looking curiously into the yard.

Ran Mo's heart sank. He couldn't figure out whether this man was looking for someone or was secretly trying to do something bad.

Qingsheng shushed her. Ranmo understood, and the two of them tiptoed towards the man. The man was concentrating on looking into the courtyard and didn't notice them approaching from behind.

When the man got closer, Qingsheng yelled "Hi" and patted the man on the shoulder. The man groaned and almost fell to the ground.

When he turned around, still in shock, Ranmo and Qingsheng were stunned. This man was none other than Mr. Li, who had helped rescue Wei Hua in Bangzi Town last time.

Ranmo and Qingsheng looked at each other embarrassedly, then Qingsheng helped him up. Ranmo also said sorry to him, thinking that it was a stranger who wanted to scare him.

Li Sheng waved his hands and said it was okay. If Ran Mo hadn't come at this time, he didn't know what to do.

Ranmo asked him if he had anything to do here. Li Sheng looked at the two of them and said shyly, "I came here mainly to look for Wei Hua. It's been a long time since we last met, and I wanted to come and see her, as well as you and my aunt."

As he spoke, he opened the bag next to him and showed the dried fruits and special products inside, as well as a large pot of good oil. He said it was a gift for them.

Ranmo hurriedly declined. She and Qingsheng understood Li Sheng's intention in coming. She hadn't expected this man to be so persistent. Ranmo asked him why he didn't go inside.

Mr. Li said he was hesitant to go in, fearing Wei Hua would think his presence was intrusive.

Qingsheng patted his shoulder and said, "You are being stingy. Weihua is also a well-educated person. Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? She won't be unhappy." Qingsheng also quoted a sentence about welcoming guests that Ranmo taught him.

Li Sheng looked at the two of them gratefully, then glanced toward the courtyard. Ran Mo then led him into the courtyard, pushing open the half-closed gate. Then he called out to the house, "Mom, Wei Hua, are you there? We have guests."

My mother responded from inside the house. Then, Wei Hua came out first. She came over with a look of curiosity, wanting to see who the distinguished guest was. When she caught sight of Li Sheng, she froze. There was something indescribable about the expression on her face.

Li Sheng also stammered, not daring to speak. Ran Mo quickly took the initiative and said, "Wei Hua, Li Sheng has come all the way to see us. She helped us so much last time, but we didn't even treat her to a meal. We have to treat her well today."

Weihua hummed softly, still not looking at Lisheng again. Just as Lisheng was at a loss, his mother emerged from the room. She looked at Lisheng, unsure who he was. Ranmo introduced him to his mother: this was Lisheng, the man who had helped Weihua so much the last time.

Ranmo had given his mother a general description of what had happened before. As for the process of Li Sheng saving Wei Hua, she omitted the part where Li Sheng brought Wei Hua home, for fear of causing misunderstanding. She only said that as a local, he helped a lot by being familiar with the geography.

When the mother heard that it was Weihua's former benefactor who came, she immediately greeted him with a smile, expressed her gratitude and welcomed him into the house.

Li Sheng's expression softened slightly, and he joined the others in the main house. His mother was busy preparing tea, and Li Sheng presented his gift. His mother happily praised Li Sheng for his kindness and courtesy.

Ranmo and Qingsheng also chatted with Li Sheng about their recent lives. Only Weihua remained expressionless. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or annoyed.

Seeing Weihua's expression, her mother couldn't help but tell her not to neglect the guests. Weihua shuddered slightly at this. The other three young people also felt a little embarrassed. Only her mother wasn't aware of Weihua's troubles.

Wei Hua didn't want her mother to scold her anymore, so she chatted with Li Sheng casually. Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and answered every question, but he didn't dare to ask anything proactively.

Mother said she was going to the kitchen and invited Li Sheng to dinner. Li Sheng quickly declined, saying he had already eaten before coming. Mother knew it was an excuse, so she smiled and went back to the kitchen. Before leaving the house, she asked Wei Hua to come over and help her, saying that today she would let Wei Hua personally cook a few of her specialties for her benefactor.

Wei Hua was happy to go out and follow her mother to the kitchen. Li Sheng also felt relieved and slowly drank his tea.

Ranmo asked him if he came here just to see Wei Hua. Li Sheng nodded, then shook his head slightly and said that he came here mainly to see Wei Hua. In addition, he had contacted a rapeseed oil business in Xiaoyue City and came here to discuss cooperation matters with the client.

Upon hearing this, Qingsheng praised him, "Great, Mr. Li, you've already built a big business. Ranmo and I are still studying literature and practicing martial arts." Mr. Li quickly said modestly, "What you're doing is something to be envied. It's just that I no longer have the conditions. I can only do this little business well, which is a foundation for me to make a living."

Ranmo said he was too modest and that being able to do one's job well was a real skill. He also said that Weihua was also engaged in the cloth business and was in the same line of work as him.

Mr. Li said he couldn't compare himself to Wei Hua. Besides her financial acumen, she also had excellent qualities, including her appearance, personality, and talent. As he spoke, he realized he had slipped up and blushed.

Ranmo and Qingsheng smiled slightly. Sure enough, he couldn't get Weihua out of his mind. While Weihua was away, Qingsheng approached Li Sheng and said, "Brother, listen to me. If you have anything you want to say, just say it boldly. Otherwise, don't regret it later when you don't have the chance to express yourself."

Li Sheng didn't say yes, nor did he say no. He was just lost in thought. Ranmo thought, it's no wonder he was hesitant. Judging from Wei Hua's behavior and her usual personality, it was still a question whether she would be attracted to Li Sheng. Of course, they didn't know much about Li Sheng at the moment, so they couldn't encourage Wei Hua to accept his advances.

After a while, the meal was almost ready. Several people helped bring the dishes to the table. Mother beckoned Li Sheng to sit down and eat. Li Sheng politely sat down next to Qingsheng.

They chatted as they ate. Mother seemed less talkative than before, occasionally reminding Li Sheng to eat more. She and Wei Hua had just asked a lot of questions in the kitchen. She finally understood Li Sheng's feelings for Wei Hua, but Wei Hua wasn't particularly interested in him.

My mother also felt a bit stymied. After some thought, she decided she couldn't say anything else, but she could still find out about Li Sheng's family background and occupation. So she asked him about it during a break in the meal.

Li Sheng answered truthfully, saying that his parents had passed away, leaving behind a small oil workshop, and that he was currently living alone. As he spoke, he glanced timidly at his mother and Wei Hua.

His mother's heart ached. What a miserable child! She then wanted to know more about Li Sheng's character. She asked him what he did besides selling oil and what his hobbies were.

Hearing about his hobby, the others felt a little uneasy. It was unclear whether Li Sheng's visits to the brothel to look for reed paintings could be considered a hobby. According to Li Sheng himself, his visits to the brothel were primarily for the purpose of looking for reed paintings. He had never transgressed the rules there.

Ranmo quickly changed the subject, saying that he had heard from Li Sheng that he enjoyed reading. Li Sheng looked at Ranmo gratefully and nodded, saying that in addition to reading, he also enjoyed listening to popular folk songs and storytelling. If he got married in the future, he would naturally take care of the family.

Mother nodded and looked at Weihua again, wanting to see what she would say. Weihua felt that it was not good for her to remain silent, so she casually asked, "How is your oil business going?"

Mr. Li was intrigued by this topic and began to talk about his long-term business in edible oil, where he had researched ways to improve the quality of the oil and squeeze out more.

The workshop is now bigger than before, and the business has expanded to Xiaoyue City. This time, in addition to visiting my aunt's family, I also want to discuss business expansion with business partners.

Several people nodded in praise. Wei Hua's face lit up. They asked him about his business methods and profits.

Mr. Li answered each question. Then, boldly, he asked Weihua how her cloth business was doing. Weihua gave him a general answer. The two chatted enthusiastically, and the atmosphere in the room became more lively.

Ran Mo, his mother and Qing Sheng smiled at each other, and were happy that they got along so well.
