Chapter 212 Zhang Liang’s Plan and the Ladder Over the Wall
Sheng Zexi looked at Bai Xun who was following Nanchun closely and felt speechless.
It’s an eyesore, so much of an eyesore!
"Mr. Bai and Mr. Nan are really in love." Li Rou said with a smile.
She was wearing an exquisitely embroidered cheongsam and had charming makeup on. Her every frown and smile was like a blooming rose.
Nanchun's face turned red.
Bai Xun had indeed been clinging to him constantly these days, as if afraid he'd disappear. He didn't dislike it, and even enjoyed it. However, he felt a little embarrassed when he was constantly teased by acquaintances.
"Love is so sweet, that's what a couple should be like. It's really enviable."
Li Rou was speaking from her heart, she was indeed envious.
How can there be true love and loyalty these days?
"After we finish filming, let's go to Yuqingzhai for dinner together?" Sheng Zexi suggested.
Bai Xun said, "No, I have something to do at home today, let's do it another day."
Something happened at home? What's going on?
Although Nanchun didn't know why Bai Xun lied, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I'll treat you later."
Looking at the scene of Nanchun and Baixun leaving together, Sheng Zexi couldn't help but bite his back teeth.
On the way back to Baiyuan, Nanchun asked curiously, "What happened at home?"
Bai Xun pursed his lips and said nothing.
Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "Do you really dislike that Master Sheng? Every time you see him, you seem unhappy."
Bai Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "This person is not as easy to get along with as he appears to be. You have to be more careful when dealing with him."
Nanchun nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Peter went to Sheng Mansion as promised.
He has been feeling that someone is following him these days, and he is now a little nervous when he goes out.
He originally wanted to refuse the business, but Mr. Bai called him and told him to go without worry and to see if there was anything suspicious.
"You are Mr. Peter, right? They all say that the suits you make are nice-looking. Oh, if I had known you earlier, I would not have asked that weird tailor Zhang for help. You don't know that he has a very bad temper. It is really frustrating to make a suit at a high price and still have to beg him for help!" Ruan Hongyan kept chattering all the way.
Peter smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Zekai, the foreign tailor is here, let him take your measurements."
Peter entered the room and frowned when he saw someone sitting in a wheelchair with his legs wrapped like elephant legs.
"Ma'am, is this for this gentleman?"
"Yes, yes, yes. His grandfather's 70th birthday is just a few days away, and he has to show up. He was injured and can't wear his old pants. I asked him to wear a robe, but he didn't want to." Ruan Hongyan explained.
If it were in the past, Peter would have turned around and left, but recently he had to be careful and not conflict with others, so he had to bite the bullet and accept it.
"I want the best fabric! Even though the bottom won't look good no matter how you make it, the top must be made decent for me." Sheng Zekai said.
Peter nodded reluctantly and began to measure him.
At this moment, Sheng Yuquan came back. His face was ashen, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Who is this? What's going on?"
Seeing him acting like he'd eaten dynamite, Ruan Hongyan couldn't help but feel angry. "I'm making clothes for Zekai! What's wrong with that? He's always making trouble!"
Sheng Yuquan loosened his tie and said, "It's that Marshal Li! He gave me an antique before, and I thought I'd keep it for my father's birthday. But he actually sent people to the bank to cause trouble, demanding I return the antique. I've never seen such a person, wanting to take back something he gave away!"
Ruan Hongyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "None of your friends are reliable!"
"Dad, it's better to have less trouble than more. He has the audacity to ask for it, so just give it back to him!" Sheng Zekai said.
He is now really afraid of having anything to do with these people again. His heart starts pounding when he thinks of these people and these bad things.
"If I give it back to him, what about your grandfather's birthday gift? It's only a few days away, where can I get it?" Sheng Yuquan's face was gloomy.
The fourth brother took Fuyuanji’s treasure as a birthday gift, and I can’t let him outdo me!
"Don't you still have a white porcelain plate? The one you said was very valuable..."
"No way! Don't talk nonsense!" Sheng Yuquan winked at Ruan Hongyan nervously.
Ruan Hongyan shut up and gave him a look of disgust.
"Foreign tailor, you Westerners should have a lot of interesting things, right? Do you have any suitable gifts?" Sheng Yuquan changed the subject somewhat abruptly.
"Dad, doesn't grandpa dislike foreign things?" Sheng Zekai said.
Sheng Yuquan patted his forehead as if he had just remembered something and said, "That's right! Your grandfather doesn't like foreign things. Oh, it seems I have to go to the antique shop."
After Peter came out of Sheng Mansion, he went to Bai's Trading Company.
Nanchun saw him and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Bi De, it's been a while."
"Hello, Master Nan. Hey, Second Young Master Bai, long time no see. Have you seen the clothes I made for Master Nan?" Peter asked.
"I have seen it. It is very beautifully made, but I haven't seen Nanchun wear it yet." Bai Xun said.
"Nice clothes only make sense if you wear them for your loved one and then take them off with your loved one's own hands," Peter said with a smile.
Nanchun blushed and said quickly, "Are you here to look for the eldest young master? He's upstairs."
Peter nodded and went upstairs.
When Bo Song saw him, he frowned and said, "You didn't come straight to me from Sheng Mansion, did you?"
"Yeah, there's something I need to tell you."
"What's the hurry?"
"The white porcelain plate that was lost before should be in the hands of the second master of the Sheng family." Peter said.
"How do you know?" Bo Song asked in surprise.
"Today I went to the Sheng Mansion to measure the size of the young master of the Sheng family. The second master Sheng came back from outside and was very angry. He said that Marshal Li sent someone to ask him for the antique that he had given him before." Peter said.
Bai Song knew that Marshal Li had bought the porcelain vase for Mr. Sheng Erye from him at a high price. However, he hadn't shown up and had hired a stranger to act as the middleman, so Marshal Li thought he had bought it from a merchant in Guangcheng.
"Young Master Sheng suggested returning the antique to Marshal Li. Second Master Sheng was a little embarrassed because it was a birthday gift for the old man of the Sheng family. Then Second Master Sheng's wife let it slip and said that he had a very valuable white porcelain plate. Second Master Sheng was very nervous at the time and deliberately changed the subject, saying that he wanted to go to the antique shop to look for treasures." Peter said.
After hearing this, Bo Song was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
Peter looked at him, confused.
"I have my own plan, and he has his own way to get around the wall. Now he is showing me his cards directly. Do you think I should believe it or not?" Bo Song shrugged.
Bai Song just hid it and slowly dealt with him.
The sudden revelation of his true colors made him hesitate to act rashly.
