Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Yun Xi leaned her head on Yun Qi's shoulder again and said the same words, "Brother, she is not worth it."

Yun Qi laughed at himself, "I once felt a little proud because I was the owner of the Seven Stars Tower and was treated with respect. I almost forgot that I was just a peasant. How could a lady from a wealthy family fall in love with you? Ha, I was delusional."

Yun Xi raised her head and glared at him again, "I don't like what you said. What's wrong with being born into a peasant family? Can't a peasant family change their status through their own efforts? Can't a peasant family marry a good wife or a good husband? If you think like that, then why should we work so hard to earn money to change our fate? It seems that no matter how hard we try, in the end, all our efforts and achievements will be in vain because we were born into a peasant family, and nothing can be changed. Then we might as well just dig for food in the fields honestly and don't have to bother with anything."

Yun Qi saw that his sister was really angry, and realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong and said the wrong thing. Don't be angry, I won't think like that again in the future."

Yun Xi snorted coldly, "You are wrong. Big brother, remember, we cannot choose where we are born, but we can decide our future lives. Others can look down on us, but we cannot look down on ourselves. Think about it carefully, putting aside our status, are we doing worse than others? No, compared to many people, we are already amazing. So you must not belittle yourself."

Yun Qi's face turned pale. Yes, except for his family background, he was no worse than those young masters of the same age in the county.

"Brother, the Seven Stars Building is just the beginning. We will have other businesses in the future and make a lot of money. Maybe we can become rich enough to rival a country. I am so smart. I will definitely pass the imperial examination when I grow up. Think about it, will you still feel that it is not good for you to be born in a peasant family? Maybe you will even be proud of yourself for being a peasant and finally reaching such a height."

Yunqi thought about the situation she described and couldn't even imagine it.

But she was right in one respect. He shouldn't have an inferiority complex just because he was born in a peasant family. In fact, when he thought about it, he was quite proud of himself for going from a farmer boy who knew nothing to a restaurant owner who was good at everything.

Yes, you are such a capable person, why do you have to look down on yourself? Isn't it just that the girl doesn't like you? There are many girls that you don't like. Can you say that the girl is not good? Of course not, it's just that you don't like her.

Besides, she wanted to use me, but I didn't let her use me as she wished. There was no need to feel useless.

Thinking of this, Yunqi felt relieved instantly.

My little sister is right. It's not worth it to be sad for someone who wants to take advantage of you.

He smiled knowingly, "Thank you, little sister. Big brother is fine now."

Yun Xi was happy, her eyes curved with a smile, "That's right. Zhou Ling doesn't like you, that's her loss. She doesn't know how good you are, she will regret it in the future."

After saying that, she talked about the falling out with Zhou Ling just now.

Maybe Yunqi had really let it go, and he didn't care about it at all. Even if he didn't say it, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood.

Seeing that he was fine, Yun Xi stood up and walked out, "I'll go pick up Xiaodi and Xiaoshuai first, and then I'll take them directly to the Xue Mansion."

Yun Qi also stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find A Ding and explain everything about the restaurant. I'll go there as soon as the handover is done."

As soon as the brother and sister walked out of the main room, they saw someone from the side hall push open the door and walk out.

The boy seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to see them when he opened the door.

Then, as if he had done something wrong to them, he quickly looked away and didn't look at them, looking a little helpless and flustered.

But the next second, the boy seemed to feel something was wrong or impolite, and hurriedly took two steps forward to say hello.

"Miss Yun, Shopkeeper Yun."

Yun Xi looked puzzled, always feeling that this handsome young official was a little strange. Judging from his words and actions, he was obviously a polite and well-mannered person. He was sincere when he spoke to her. But sometimes she felt that he was hiding something bad in his heart, or why would he always avoid her sight?

For example, now, after she politely said hello and stared at the other party, the beautiful young official immediately looked up to the sky and the ground out of guilt, but didn't look at her.

Yun Xi left the Seven Stars Tower from the back door, full of doubts. It was the first time that she could not see through a person's thoughts. This person was really quite advanced, so she had to be more careful of him in the future.

When Ying Tianchen saw Yun Xi leaving through the back door, he also suggested leaving through the back door.

After Yunqi and the others settled the bill, he personally escorted the person out the back door.

After Ying Tianchen came out, she looked around. She didn't expect that after just a short while of paying the bill, she disappeared when she came out, and she didn't know which direction she went.

Never mind. We'll be traveling together tomorrow anyway, so there will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet.

Seeing the people walking away, Yun Qi closed the back door and went to the front hall.

As soon as I arrived at the front hall, I saw Ading behind the counter and said, "That's great. I have something else to tell you."

Ading winked at him and nodded towards the rest area.

Yun Qi looked in the direction he pointed and saw Zhou Ling sitting there, looking at him with red eyes.

He frowned slightly, thought about it, and walked over.

"Miss Zhou, anything else?"

Because Yunqi was standing a few steps away, Zhou Ling had to look up at him while sitting there.

She bit her lips lightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Before she could finish her words, crystal clear tears rolled down the corners of her red eyes. What a pitiful picture of a beautiful woman in tears.

Yunqi's heart tightened. After all, she was a woman who had been moved, and it was impossible for him to remain completely indifferent.

"Miss Zhou, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to arrange a carriage to take you back home?"

Seeing him being distant, Zhou Ling's tears flowed even more violently. She quickly took a handkerchief and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Choking with sobs, he said, "Brother Yun, can you please sit down and talk for a few words?"

Yun Yan glanced at the seat opposite her, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "Ms. Zhou, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I'll just stand. If I sit down, it will be just the two of us. If others see us, it will be bad for your reputation."

Zhou Ling didn't expect him to refuse. She looked up in surprise and saw that he really looked like he was keeping her at a distance. She felt angry. It must be that bitch Yun Xi who said something to him.

She looked at Yun Qi with tears in her eyes, "Brother Yun, is it true that sister Yun Xi said that you already have a girl you like?"

Yunqi frowned and did not answer.

Zhou Ling didn't wait for his answer, she bit her lip again and continued, "She also asked me if I want to go with you tomorrow. If I go with you, the best I can do is be your concubine."

"Wow, I remember that Brother Yun once asked me if I was willing to marry you. You arranged marriages and betrothals, but Sister Yunxi asked me to be a concubine. Why did she humiliate me like this?"
