514. Chapter 514: A Gift, Profit Sharing

That's how it is.

Yin Li walked toward the living room, and Cheng Jingyu followed behind.

Seeing them walk in one after another.

Cheng Xianglan got up and went to pull Yin Li's hand: "Yin Li, thank you, thank you for helping my son so much; without you, he probably wouldn't know what to do now."

Seeing her grateful expression.

Yin Li laughed and said: "Xianglan sister, I just happened to run into him; otherwise I couldn't have helped him."

Xianglan sister…

She calls herself that—could it be she doesn't approve of her own son?

Thinking that she used to call him that before.

Cheng Xianglan then stopped thinking wildly.

No matter what she calls him, it still depends on whether her son has the ability.

If he has the ability to win Yin Li over, she'll eventually change the way she addresses him.

If he doesn't have that ability, this form of address will never change.

They chatted.

Cheng Xianglan glanced at Yin Li now and then while looking at her son, feeling both amused and exasperated—does this kid really need to be so obvious?

Qiao Sheng also noticed.

Her gaze swept over them and landed on Yin Li.

Seeing Yin Li chatting and laughing carefree, she knew Yin Li didn't realize Cheng Jingyu had taken a liking to her.

Qiao Sheng didn't expose it, chatting with them calmly.

Lunch.

Qiao Sheng personally cooked a few dishes; the remaining dishes were made by the household cook.

Xie Yin and the others ate together with them.

Xie Yin and the others really liked Qiao Sheng's dishes; after the meal, her dishes were eaten clean, not even a drop of soup left, while the dishes made by the household cook still had plenty left.

Such was the result.

Xie Yin wasn't surprised at all; although she liked eating Qiao Sheng's food, she didn't let her cook often.

Her daughter-in-law is to be pampered, not to come work in the house.

When they were about to leave.

Cheng Jingyu called Yin Li aside to talk.

"What do you want to say to me?"

Yin Li stared at Cheng Jingyu with a strange expression.

Cheng Jingyu pulled a jade hairpin from his pocket and headed straight for Yin Li's hair bun.

By the time Yin Li reacted,

the jade hairpin was already on her head.

"It's a gift for you."

Cheng Jingyu said that and ran off.

Yin Li stood frozen; by the time she came to her senses, Cheng Jingyu and Cheng Xianglan had already walked out the gate.

Qiao Sheng said a couple of things to Xie Yin, then walked toward Yin Li.

"Sheng Jiejie, I didn't want it, he…"

Yin Li explained.

This girl.

She still hasn't noticed that Cheng Jingyu likes her!

Cheng Jingyu's pursuit of a wife is probably going to be tough.

Qiao Sheng laughed and said: "How could I not know you? All right, let's not talk about this. Come with me for a walk. I plan to find a shop to sell black-and-white cat plush toys. Then you can buy a share, and later I'll give you dividends."

"Sheng Jiejie, this isn't proper."

Yin Li felt embarrassed to accept.

Qiao Sheng lightly tapped Yin Li's head and said: "I said you should buy a share—it's not like I'm giving you dividends for free. What's wrong with that? You're not young anymore; you ought to have some money. When you marry later, these dividends will be your private spending money."

"Sheng Jiejie, you're really kind."

Yin Li linked arms with Qiao Sheng.

They hadn't been seated long before the carriage took them out of the Inner City.

Qiao Sheng wasn't sure if any shops were available for rent, so she started looking around; perhaps they were lucky, and after just a few streets they saw a shop for rent.

The location wasn't on a bustling street.

But it wasn't bad either.

Yin Li glanced and murmured: "Sheng Jiejie, this shop looks decent; why would no one want to rent it?"

"Maybe the notice was just posted."

Qiao Sheng said that, but just in case she still had someone check it out; meanwhile, they walked straight into the shop.
