古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 777: Hurry and follow him

"That\'s right, that\'s the name!" Chu Zhe pointed at Shen Li with a smile, the young kid did not know that he had suddenly become the harbinger of bad news in his eyes, he did a good job telling Shen Li about the young woman who came to see him.          

Chu Zhe was already drooling when he saw the new dessert but when he heard Shen Li\'s words made, he still nodded like a good child and then turned to go back home while carrying the jelly in his hands carefully.      

Ye Liu who was done handling the contracts saw that Shen Li was looking a bit troubled after the young mer son of their neighbours came to see him because he was too far, Ye Liu did not hear what the young boy said but upon seeing that Shen Li was looking a bit troubled he immediately packed up and then walked over to where Shen Li was standing and called his name,      

"Brother Li?"      

But who knows what Shen Li was thinking, he did not listen to Ye Liu which caused the latter to frown as he patted Shen Li\'s shoulders causing the latter to jump slightly in surprise.      

" Huh?" Shen Li flinched and turned to look at Ye Liu with a wild look in his eyes which only caused Ye Liu to worry about him even more. "What\'s the matter with you, brother Li? What did little Zhe say to you?"     

Shen Li hesitated for a while wondering whether he should tell Ye Liu about Shen Hanxing\'s visit or not but after thinking it over carefully, he licked his lips and then said in a low voice, " My sister is here."      

" Your sister?" Ye Liu frowned before he shook his head and then said, " But that is impossible, you were sold to mother in law by your family, it is written in black and white that you no longer have any relations with that family of yours, so how can she be here?"      

" I thought the same as well," Shen Li agreed with Ye Liu in a soft voice but then his lips curled into a rueful yet mocking smile and then he added, " But you are forgetting that the flood-hit all the villages next to ours… I am sure that my family wasn\'t able to escape the tragedy."      

When Ye Liu heard Shen Li\'s words he immediately bristled and said,  " She is here for money?"      

" I am sure she might be looking for more," Shen Li knew his sister too well and knew that she once worked in a small gang of thugs, her sister was used to looking around and skulking around looking for more information which could be used by her, surely she must have gone around the village asking about Yu Dong and now that his family and lost their land and house, it was clear why they are here.      

" That darned woman, she is here to leech off you"! Ye Liu also understood why Shen Hanxing was here, she was not here just for money, she must be looking for Shen Li thinking that she will be able to get a new house and lands from him since Yu Dong was now the owner of this village and that too without paying a single copper coin!      

The more Ye Liu thought about it the more angrier he got in the end, he turned to look at Shen Li and then said, " I will go and talk with her."      

"Stop there," Shen Li caught Ye Liu by his wrist and then pulled him back, he knew that the latter was trying to get even with Shen Hanxing for his sake but he also knew that it was not going to help him. If anything once, Shen Hanxing realises that his family was this protective of him, she will only badger them even more.      

He remembered how his father would often scold him all the time which led him to escape from more than one problem and hardened his heart before he pulled Ye Liu until he was standing next to him and said in a soft voice, " You do not need to worry about me, I will make sure that I return safe and sound, all right?"      

Ye Liu looked slightly upset when he heard the words of Shen Li but seeing the confidence on the face of his elder brother, he nodded his head and agreed silently, allowing Shen Li to leave but as soon as Shen Li who had thought it through and was walking out of the house to face Shen Hanxing left, he rushed inside the house and went straight to Lang who was chopping firewood.      

" Sister Lang!"      

Ye Liu\'s sudden shout startled Lang and she almost missed the log that was sitting in front of her but she managed to stop herself just in time as she turned to look at Ye Liu who was rushing towards her and then placed the axe on the ground as she said, " Brother Ye, is everything fine…why are you in a rush?"      

" Hurry, follow after Brother Li, I am afraid that he will be bullied!" Ye Liu did not have the time to explain, he simply asked Lang to chase after Shen Li which confused Lang even more but when she saw that Ye Liu was panicking, she immediately dropped the axe on the ground and said,  " I will go now."
