87 Not an Object in the Pond

Xu Mochu’s expression changed when he heard the name Su Binglan. He was too familiar with that name because she was the woman who had done some strange things for his attention.

He knew Su Binglan admired him. Later, he heard she became jealous of another woman but fell into a river. However, Xu Mochu did not know what happened after that. He didn’t care either because Su Binglan was just a stranger to him.

Still, Xu Mochu had seen Su Binglan before and had a vague impression of how she used to speak. She looked exactly like a country girl, uneducated with a foolish demeanor.

However, the girl who spoke with Mr. Wang spoke clearly. She was neither servile nor overbearing. Instead, Su Binglan was graceful and kind. Moreover, she possessed an outstanding temperament and a beautiful face, different from the Su Binglan Xu Mochu knew previously.

!!

Perhaps this was the real Su Binglan, and she only pretended last time. She used to wear a thick layer of rouge and powder, making her appearance unclear.

Mr. Wang looked at Xu Mochu’s expression and felt it was strange. ‘Does Young Master Mochu know Su Binglan?’

Mr. Wang’s eyes lit up. “It’s great that you know her! You’re fortunate to know such a talented young girl, Young Master Mochu.”

Xu Mochu glanced at Mr. Wang indifferently. “You think she’s good?”

Mr. Wang smiled and said, “To be honest with you, Young Master Mochu, I’ve seen and done business with many people. Still, Miss Binglan is the only one I admire. No one can say no to her, whether it’s discussions or doing business.

“I feel like even if Miss Binglan were from Tenghe Town, she would not want to remain in a small place like it.”

Xu Mochu’s expression changed when he heard Mr. Wang’s words.

Mr. Wang continued, “Young Master Mochu, it would benefit us greatly if you get to know such a person. Look at this agreement’s content and handwriting. An ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to do this.”

“If we sold such calligraphy, the townsfolk would go crazy for it! Her handwriting is astounding. It’s almost as if she has the world’s knowledge in her mind. She must be a person of noble character.”

Xu Mochu fell silent.

Mr. Wang was his father’s trusted subordinate, and he had traveled far and wide to meet many people. If it weren’t for Mr. Wang’s health, Xu Mochu’s father would not have made Mr. Wang manage Drunken Cloud. Nonetheless, Xu Mochu also wanted Mr. Wang to slow down and recover.

Still, Su Binglan managed to make Mr. Wang praise her. Xu Mochu wondered if he had misjudged Su Binglan in the past. He began to doubt himself.

He said indifferently, “Yes, you should pay more attention to her if she returns.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master Mochu. A girl like her must possess excellent karma. I feel if we work well with Miss Binglan, Drunken Cloud will become even more popular. Zhu’s Guests are no match for us!

“However, I don’t know why Zhu’s Guests insist on taking us down. Don’t you think there’s something fishy about this, Young Master Mochu? There might be something up with the Zhu family.”

Xu Mochu replied, “I’ve already sent people to investigate. Don’t act rashly, so we don’t alert the enemy.”

“Yes, Young Master Mochu,” Mr. Wang bowed as he spoke.

…

Su Binglan was unaware of those incidents, even though she had reclaimed herself. She did not want to recall the bad memories of her past life.

Still, she did not know the Xu family were the owners of Drunken Cloud. Therefore, she immediately took the silver and headed straight for the Zhu residence.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin was still waiting near the Zhu residence.
