Chapter 489 Taking orders in times of danger
At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's patience had reached its limit.
After leaving Yong'an Marquis Mansion, I went straight to the restaurant. The restaurant's business has been stable recently and it is always full every day.
Seeing that her restaurant was doing well, many people tried to make barbecue, but the taste could never compare to the authentic taste of Longmen Restaurant.
They looked the same on the outside, but they just couldn't make the same taste. The four restaurants were extremely popular, and Li Xiaoxiao made a lot of money.
Everything was normal in the restaurant, and she was thinking about what she had discussed with the old lady. She also knew a little about that girl, as she had met her once before.
The girl the old lady was talking about was named Wang Linger. She was the daughter of Wang Chaoyang, a high-ranking official of the current dynasty. She was sixteen years old this year and was outstanding in both appearance and talent.
Although she cannot be compared with Cheng Yuner, she is not bad either. If she is together with Si Chengxu, they can be considered a good match.
She didn't know whether Si Chengxu liked her or not. For a matter like this, she had to ask the man's opinion first. Only if the man agreed could she go to the woman's side to propose marriage.
But before that, she had to find out more about Wang Linger's character. After all, marriage was a big deal and she couldn't be careless.
I still have to ask Si Er for help. The old lady said that she would be fully responsible for this matter. Alas, I have no choice but to accept the task in this critical moment, Li Xiaoxiao complained in her heart.
After receiving the news, Si Er came quickly. Li Xiaoxiao explained the situation to him directly and asked him to find out about Wang Linger's character and what she had done since she was a child. No matter how big or small, he must find out clearly.
Si Er's mind was full of question marks. What happened to the little girl? She was so abnormal. His intuition told him that this matter must be related to his grandfather.
"Excuse me, little girl, why do you want to know about Wang Ling'er?"
"Alas, I have no choice. The old lady has instructed me to find a marriage for your master and asked me to be fully responsible." Li Xiaoxiao sighed, looking helpless.
Si Er's jaw dropped in shock. Li Xiaoxiao hadn't given up yet and had even set her sights on the old lady. She was determined to matchmake Si Chengxu for him.
However, if he really went out to inquire about Wang Linger as Li Xiaoxiao instructed, how should I explain this to my master?
I'm not as easy to talk to as Li Xiaoxiao. If you're not careful, the consequences could be quite serious.
But then again, if he refuses, Li Xiaoxiao will definitely look for someone else. It would be better for him to agree first and wait for him to report to me, and then do something based on the situation.
After figuring it out, Si Er nodded in agreement, but in the end he couldn't help but ask the questions in his mind.
"Little girl, why did you suddenly want to be a matchmaker for me? What happened? Can you tell me and I will think of a solution for you?"
"No, you're overthinking it. It's just a simple way of repaying a favor. Go quickly and come back soon." Li Xiaoxiao sent him out directly.
She only told the old lady about this matter, and even Mrs. Sun didn't know about it.
Si Er went back and told Si Chengxu about what happened. Upon hearing this, Si Chengxu's face turned as black as charcoal and his breathing became heavy. Li Xiaoxiao is really great.
"Master, what should I do?" Si Er lowered his head and did not dare to look at his face, but he could still feel Si Chengxu's anger about to burst out.
"You don't have to do anything. I'll go find her and ask her clearly." Si Chengxu had a cold face, as if the air had frozen.
Si Er heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that this was a thankless task.
Li Xiaoxiao paced back and forth in the restaurant, looking towards the door from time to time. Si Er had been gone for so long, why hadn't he come back yet?
Is it necessary to take so long just to inquire about a girl in the capital?
Just as she looked towards the door again, a tall figure suddenly jumped into her sight. When she looked closely, it turned out to be Si Chengxu.
Is he free today? Why does he come to the restaurant at this time? The two of them looked at each other and there was a moment of awkwardness in the air.
It was Li Xiaoxiao who turned away first and said nonchalantly, "Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"
"Of course there is something. I heard that you wanted to be a matchmaker for me, so I came to see you. But if you want to be a matchmaker for me, you have to get my consent." Si Chengxu was still very angry on the way here.
He was thinking about how to scold Li Xiaoxiao after meeting her. Doesn't she know his feelings, and yet she is trying to be a matchmaker for him?
But when he saw Li Xiaoxiao, most of his original anger suddenly disappeared, and the remaining bit of anger was so strong that he couldn't even scold her.
"Si Er has already told you that he is really unreliable. I haven't even figured out the girl's background yet, so why are you so impatient?" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught doing something wrong, and she felt a little timid.
"Don't worry about whether I'm impatient or not. I just want to figure out one thing. What's the reason behind your abnormal behavior?" Si Chengxu stood two steps away from Li Xiaoxiao, staring at her closely, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
"Didn't I tell you everything? What else could it be? Don't think too much." Li Xiaoxiao felt guilty and naturally didn't dare to look him in the eye. Her eyes drifted left and right casually, not looking at him.
"If you don't tell me today, I will stay here and not leave." Li Xiaoxiao's wandering eyes further strengthened Si Chengxu's determination. Li Xiaoxiao must be hiding something from him.
"Cousin, are you taking it too seriously? It's just a small matter, is it a big deal?" Li Xiaoxiao used Tai Chi to try to fool him.
"As for that." Si Chengxu walked to the table in two or three steps, lifted his robe and sat on it, his tone was cold and distant.
"Hehe." Li Xiaoxiao laughed dryly twice, and was speechless by Si Chengxu's behavior.
"I keep my word. You can do whatever you want." After saying that, Si Chengxu put one arm on the coffee table and supported his head with one hand, his movements casual and lazy.
It seems that he has made up his mind to confront Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao was really confused. Why didn't she realize Si Chengxu was so difficult to deal with before? She actually learned from him to act like a spoiled brat.
Originally, Li Ruolan didn't plan to tell Si Chengxu that she liked him, mainly because she was afraid that it would be somewhat awkward for them to meet in the future.
But given the current situation, it seems that we have no choice but to speak up.
In that case, just tell him. In case anything unexpected happens later, he can be mentally prepared in advance.
After carefully considering the words, Li Xiaoxiao slowly spoke: "Cousin, you may not believe me, but this is true."
Si Chengxu didn't say anything, but just looked up at her. The meaning was self-evident. You continue.
"I found out that my sister likes you, but she can't marry you, so I want you to get married. Then she won't have any more thoughts, and you can solve the marriage problem. This will only benefit you and her."
