Chapter 241: Someone Comes to Propose Marriage

Hearing Cheng Xianglan say that.

Qiao Sheng looked at her and said, "Xianglan sister, this is between you and Yun Tian; I still won't get involved—you decide for yourself."

Her words had just fallen.

Cheng Xianglan lowered her eyes and began to speak.

"I had been thinking about this since before; who would have thought I'd get pregnant so soon? With this child, I had already dismissed the idea of divorce. But heaven just toys with people—I and he are destined to have no chance."

After losing two children in succession, she felt heartbroken beyond bearing, but now saying anything is too late.

Although this child is not as old as the previous one, compared to that child, she cares just as much.

She now hates both Yun Tian and herself.

Her current state.

Qiao Sheng also felt uneasy, so she comforted her not to overthink, to rest and recover first—after all, she still has a son!

Not long after.

Cheng Xianglan and Yun Tian then divorced.

She threatened suicide, and Yun Tian gave in.

Qiao Sheng didn't know about this at first, until Yun Tian came to their restaurant for a meal, got drunk, and mentioned her, then she found out.

Seeing Yun Tian drunk as mud.

Qiao Sheng frowned, had An Liu send him home. Not cherishing what one has, feeling awful after losing it—she couldn't muster any sympathy.

If not for considering they were somewhat acquainted, she wouldn't bother with him at all!

The next morning.

Yun Tian came to Qiao Sheng's place; she thought he was coming for a meal, but instead he came to thank her: "Qiao Sheng, thank you for arranging someone to send me home last night."

No need for thanks—do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll get back to work; we still haven't prepared all the ingredients we need to sell at noon today.

Qiao Sheng now doesn't really want to deal with Yun Tian.

Yun Tian thought that was the case, and said, "Then I'll leave first; when I have time, I'll treat you to a meal."

Treat her to a meal?

To thank her?

Qiao Sheng was about to say it wasn't necessary, but looking up, she saw Yun Tian had already walked out of the shop.

Yun Tian had left not long ago.

A loud woman's voice came from outside: "Qiao Niangzi, Qiao Niangzi, what happy news…"

Qiao Sheng frowned and walked over, seeing a woman in a pomegranate-red dress, about thirty years old, smiling as she approached.

Behind her followed ten men, paired up, each carrying a large box bound with red silk.

Come to propose a marriage?

Qiao Sheng hadn't spoken yet.

The matchmaker introduced herself.

"Qiao Niangzi, I'm the matchmaker—I've eaten at your place before; your cooking is absolutely superb, better than the chef at the best restaurant around here."

"I've come this time solely to talk about a match for you. The Mr. Jiang I mentioned also ate at your place before; although he's about ten years older than you, he doesn't look his age, and his family is wealthy…"

"She hasn't become more beautiful—how could Mr. Jiang come to propose to her?"

Qiao Sheng interrupted the matchmaker: "Matchmaker, please tell Mr. Jiang I'm not planning to marry now—let him find someone else."

She refused that quickly?

Could it be that she dislikes him for being old?

The matchmaker said, "Qiao Niangzi, Mr. Jiang is really good—he has no son, only a daughter who's already married. If you marry him and bear a son, all that huge estate will someday be yours. Don't you see?"

Qiao Sheng said expressionlessly, "What's there not to understand? I'm perfectly clear. All right, take them and leave—I've got work to do."
