Stolen In The Open
Then, he summoned his employees, took the completed signboard, and set off to the address on the note that Gu Shihi and Li Yizheng wrote last time.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Li Yizheng's shop.
"Okay, okay, just leave it here. Slow down." The signboard shop owner instructed them to place the signboard in an empty area.
At this moment, Gu Shihui and Li Yizheng who was sitting in the room opened the door and came out to check.
They saw that it was the signboard shop owner who had sent the signboard over.
"Boss Li, the signboard has been sent over. Take a look at how we install it," the boss said to Li Yizheng.
"Let me take a look." After saying that, he walked toward the signboard.
The signboard was currently covered with a red cloth.
Li Yizheng understood the reason why. Before the opening, the boss had wrapped it with a red cloth. Firstly, it was to keep it a secret. Secondly, it was to increase its mysteriousness of it so that passers-by would pay more attention to it.
This was because everyone had the mentality of being inquisitive. The more they did not know, the more they wanted to know. This way, they could increase the attention of the people and increase popularity.
Using the red cloth also meant that the business would be prosperous, hoping for good fortune.
Therefore, Li Yizheng only lifted a corner of the red cloth and looked at it.
After all, it was better to pull the red cloth open only when the business opened.
Regardless of whether this was true or not, Li Yizheng wanted to believe in superstition for once.
After all, there was no loss.
Then, he turned to the boss and said, "There are no problems. You can install it directly."
"Right there." As he said that, he pointed in the direction of the second floor.
The signboard shop owner's line of sight followed the direction Li Yizheng pointed to.
Then, he swallowed his saliva and said to Li Yizheng carefully, "Can I ask how old you are now?"
Although Li Yizheng didn't understand why he asked this question, he still answered truthfully, "I'm 19 now."
"19?" The signboard shop owner was shocked.
"Then aren't you in high school now?" The boss asked in surprise.
Li Yizheng saw the boss looking at him in shock but he still nodded politely, "Yes, the college entrance exam is in June this year."
"Then, is this your shop? And it's a two-storey shop?" The boss asked.
At this time, no matter how good Li Yi Zheng's temper was, he couldn't control it anymore.
He didn't like people asking him all sorts of questions.
Especially people who weren't related to him in any way.
But the boss of this signboard shop pulled him along and kept asking him things that were of personal privacy.
Li Yizheng showed his displeasure.
However, the boss didn't seem to notice it.
He opened his mouth and still wanted to ask more questions.
Li Yizheng opened his mouth at the same time and interrupted what he was about to say. "Boss, please help me install it quickly."
"I have other things to do in the afternoon."
When the boss heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Hey, hey, okay. I will do it now. Right now."
After saying that, he called the employees to set up the shelves and then prepared to put up the signboard.
After arranging those matters, the signboard shop owner turned around again. He still wanted to say something to Li Yizheng.
At this moment, Gu Shihui came over with water.
Seeing this, Li Yizheng hurriedly ran over.
He took the water from Gu Shihui's hand and looked at Gu Shihui with a smile.
Gu Shihui had a suspicious look on her face. She didn't understand why he was so happy.
"Why aren't you watching over there?" Gu Shihui asked directly.
"Nothing. I'm just here to pick you up." As he said that, he took the water from her hands,
The boss was about to speak when he saw Li Yizheng run away. He forcibly held back what he wanted to say.
At this moment, he was walked over with Li Yizheng.
He thought to himself, "What is their relationship?"
With this thought in mind, when Gu Shihui and Li Yizheng walked closer, the boss of the signboard shop asked the question in his heart.
"Little girl, are you the sister of this Boss Li?" The boss of the signboard shop said with a flattering smile.
Gu Shihui had just gone to buy water and didn't know what had happened between Li Yizheng and him.
However, she was very dissatisfied that the signboard shop owner had recognized her as Li Yizheng's younger sister, and in her heart, she cursed his eighteen generations of ancestors.
[ Is your eyesight bad? ]
[ Do we look alike? ]
[ If we have a relationship, it should be husband and wife, ok? ]
[ You're the brother and sister. Your whole family is brother and sister. ]
After venting in her heart, Gu Shihui felt much better.
When Li Yizheng heard Gu Shihui's fiery words, he couldn't help but secretly size her up.
The smile in his eyes was getting more and more obvious.
However, as Gu Shihui thought about it, the boss didn't even know them so it was normal for him to be wrong.
She wanted to explain to the owner that they weren't brother and sister.
However, the owner in his own world said again, "My child is also a little girl, about the same age as you. One day, I'll introduce her to your brother. You should be able to play together."
If this was the Gu Shihui from her previous life, she really might not be able to decipher what the owner meant.
However, she had already lived a new life. If she couldn't understand what this signboard shop owner meant, then she had been reborn for nothing.
Li Yizheng was also shocked at this moment. He had originally thought that the boss was a talkative person but he didn't expect him to have such thoughts.
The expression on his face immediately turned cold.
Gu Shihui's expression was even more obvious.
The boss raised his head and saw the two of them looking at him coldly, not understanding what was going on.
However, their expressions were very frightening. He could not help but shiver and asked with a trembling voice, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are the two of you looking at me like that?"
Gu Shihui snorted. "That's right. Not only did you say something wrong, but you were also very wrong."
The boss was surprised. "Huh?".
Then he thought about what he said and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Gu Shihui said, "Do you not know what you were wrong about?"
The boss nodded and looked like he was asking for clarification.
"First of all, we are not brother and sister. We are not related by blood at all." As she said that, she stretched out his finger and gestured.
The boss suddenly understood, "Ah, then I'm sorry for my misunderstanding."
"Stop, stop, stop. There's no need to say anymore. Also, don't introduce that girl of yours to him, understand?" As she said that, she stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yizheng.
"It's impossible for him to know your daughter. No matter how good she is, it's impossible." After saying that, Gu Shihui turned around and went into the house in a huff.
Li Yizheng was lost in thought as he looked at Gu Shihui's back.
That boss also roughly understood, but he still did not give up and went closer to Li Yizheng and said, "Aiyo, this girl has a very bad temper. Who gets married to her in the future will suffer."
