Cheng Yu looked at the woman in front of him and said with a smile, "Please take a seat."
Jin Xiaodie stretched out her hands, "No need, I will just stand."
"You are an elder. If you continue to stand, I will have no choice but to stand alongside you." Cheng Yu had a smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes were filled with gentleness.
Hearing that, Jin Xiaodie panicked. How could she let someone as noble as Cheng Yu accompany her? She moved to the front of the chair, "Then I … I think I'll just sit. "
Cheng Yu gestured with his hand and took a seat.
Only then did Jin Xiaodie dare to sit down, with her feet on the ground.
Cheng Yu poured a cup of tea into the jade teapot, then held it in front of Jin Xiaodie and asked, "I wonder why you have come to find me?"
Jin Xiaodie was flattered and hugged her teacup, listening to Cheng Yu's question but not knowing what to say.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Outside of the house, Jin Weiwei leaned against the vermilion door post, thinking to herself, "Why isn't Jin Xiaodie saying anything?" Since he came to see Cheng Yu, he must have a request.
After a while, he heard Jin Xiaodie's voice.
"I really shouldn't have come, but I really have no other choice …" Jin Xiaodie's face, which was full of the vicissitudes of life, was filled with sorrow. She put the cup on the table with a "pa" sound and kneeled down.
A trace of surprise flashed across Cheng Yu's eyes. He then quickly stood up and stretched out his arms to help Jin Xiaodie.
The other side avoided his hands and moved backward on his knees.
Seeing Jin Xiaodie like this, Cheng Yu said helplessly: "What are you doing? If you, a senior, were to kneel to a junior, wouldn't that make things difficult for me? "
A look of shame appeared on Jin Xiaodie's face, but she still kneeled on the ground resolutely.
"Young master Cheng, I've come to ask for your help this time …"
"Stand up first, then we'll talk." Cheng Yu once again reached out his hand to help her up.
However, Jin Xiaodie dodged it again.
With a sigh, Cheng Yu brought a cushion and sat down on the ground. "You are brother Zheng's aunt. Now that you have a request from me, I will naturally extend a helping hand. It's just that I, Cheng Yu, am a scholar, so I might not be able to help you."
Hearing Chengyu's words, Jin Xiaodie shook her head, "No, you will definitely be able to help me. Before I came here, I already found out that you are the legitimate son of the Cheng family, so there is no way you will be able to help me."
Cheng Yu seemed to have come prepared. He pondered for a while with a warm smile on his handsome face, "Even so, even if I am the legitimate son of your family, there are some things that I am unable to help you with. However, why don't you tell me your difficulties first."
Two streams of tears flowed down Jin Xiaodie's face. Her voice was clearly sobbing as she started to narrate, "I originally had a husband called Jiang Qingshu."
When the two words entered Cheng Yu's ears, the hand on his knee moved slightly.
"We ran a butcher's shop on Lucky Street. One day, Shopkeeper Qian, who was working with us, suddenly said he wanted to cut off all business ties. It was only after we asked around did we learn that our previous grudges with our niece had forced Shopkeeper Qian to abandon us by cooking sausages …"
As Jin Xiaodie talked, she didn't forget to look at Cheng Yu's face and expression. Cheng Yu still had a smile on his face, pretending to listen.
Jin Xiaodie was relieved and continued, "The business of the butcher is not so good. We can't lose our partner, Manager Qian. As a woman, I don't have any good ideas, so I can only beg my niece."
"But my niece said some weird things. When I got home, I met Shopkeeper Qian's wife throwing a tantrum in front of my house. That's when I found out that Jiang Qingshu …" "In order to destroy that niece of mine by spreading rumors that she is the concubine that storekeeper Qian has raised outside, the storekeeper's wife came here to make a ruckus after learning the truth." Jin Xiaodie's eyes were full of tears again.
"I finally understand why my niece said all those ridiculous things. I didn't want my neighbors to see a joke, so I hurried to persuade Shopkeeper Qian's wife …" Jin Xiaodie wiped her tears away with her hand.
Cheng Yu silently handed over a handkerchief.
Jin Xiaodie hesitated for a while before she took it and wiped her face.
She opened her mouth and continued, probably bringing out the most painful part, her voice first becoming choked with sobs, "But … I never would have thought that Jiang Qingshou, such a cruel and unscrupulous person, would actually say that I was the one spreading the rumors. It has nothing to do with him. "
Unable to bear the pain anymore, Jin Xiaodie cried.
Outside the room, Jin Weiwei, who was leaning on the doorjamb, smiled coldly.
At that time, the rumors were clearly about the couple, but this Jin Xiaodie had taken everything from him.
However, with Cheng Yu's intelligence, he definitely wouldn't believe it. While Jin Weiwei was thinking this, Cheng Yu's voice sounded in the room.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Cheng Yu now knew what Jin Xiaodie wanted.
Jin Xiaodie's eyes showed undisguised hatred, "The fact that Jiang Ji's meat shop can be opened is the result of my hard work. I don't ask for anything else, I only hope that Master Cheng can help me take back half of my family property."
If Cheng Yu was right, Jin Xiaodie should have been abandoned, which was why she stayed in Brother Zheng's house.
A woman who had already been abandoned wanted to seize her ex-husband's inheritance. Cheng Yu faintly smiled, exuding an indescribable feeling.
"Young master Cheng, I beg of you, please help me!" Seeing that Cheng Yu only had a smile on his face, Jin Xiaodie couldn't help but feel flustered.
Cheng Yu had always cherished his feathers, so how could he be willing to jump into such a huge pit? He said gently, "This matter will definitely involve the court. Please allow me to think about it."
Cheng Yu did not refuse, which meant that there was a chance. Jin Xiaodie felt better, and stood up with the help of her opponent.
She had said what she needed to say, and Jin Xiaodie felt uncomfortable staying there, so she took her leave.
Jin Weiwei quickly hid behind a rich tree and waited for Jin Xiaodie to leave before knocking on the door of the private room.
Who was it? Cheng Yu opened the door and saw Jin Weiwei in a plain dress.
Her jet-black hair flowed down her shoulders and back. Her hair was tied up in a bun and cut diagonally through the wooden hairpin on her head. A hibiscus flower had been carved into her hair.
Just like her appearance, her faint and gorgeous appearance was lively and lively all the time.
Surprised and happy emotions swirled and dissipated in the heart, like the green bamboo swaying in the spring wind of March.
"It's you!" Are you looking for me? " he asked softly.
