Chapter 1425 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
Shi Li looked at Shi Buhuo's distressed expression and subconsciously shrank his neck, "Dad..."
"Don't call me dad! You are my dad!"
Shi Buhuo pounded his chest with one hand. If his legs had not been broken and he could not stand up, he would definitely kneel down and hug Luo Qingyan's thighs and beg him to stay.
"Do you know who that was just now? That was Luo Qingyan! The young master of Baiyuan Villa! The future owner of the villa!"
Shi Buhuo was still screaming, but he didn't expect that one stone would cause a thousand ripples. When he heard the name "Luo Qingyan", the live broadcast screen in front of Shi Li was instantly flooded with comments.
[Fuck! He’s actually the protagonist’s biological father!!!]
[Such a pretty face! No wonder she can give birth to a handsome man who makes the princess fall in love with him at first sight! ]
[Wenchang Escort Agency is not actually owned by the male lead, so why can the male lead inherit the agency???]
[Uh... Could it be that because the anchor offended Luo Qingyan, Mr. Luo bought the escort agency in anger? ]
Looking at the information revealed in the barrage, Shi Li felt his scalp tingling.
She really didn’t mean it just now. That’s just the original owner’s personality. It’s really not her fault!
"father……"
After waiting for Shi Buhuo to calm down, Shi Li tried hard to comfort him, "At worst, I can make more escort missions next time, and I can make back the money anyway."
"You don't understand..." Shi Buhuo gave her a vicissitudes of life look, "The price he offered is enough to buy the lives of both of us."
Shi Li: ...
Oh no!
Dad, are our lives so worthless?
"How much can he offer?"
Shi Li felt a little bit dissatisfied. The original owner could earn a few hundred taels for a trip, or at least a few dozen taels. With the original owner's ability to escort, how much money must have been paid for his life? This father was exaggerating.
Shi Buhuo looked at her with a vicissitudes and ignorant eyes, and silently stretched out a finger.
"One thousand taels?" Shi Li raised her eyebrows, thinking that the man was quite rich.
Who would have thought that Shi Buhuo would shake his head and answer with a dead heart: "Ten thousand taels."
Shi Li: !!!
No... Is Baiyuan Villa so rich?
"Originally, after this escort mission, we two could retire from the business. But now, it's all gone... all gone..."
Shi Buhuo shook his head and muttered to himself like Xianglin Sao.
Shi Li swallowed her saliva and silently calculated in her mind. Ten thousand taels of silver in this era was equivalent to about 30 million RMB in her era...
It’s really no wonder that Shi Buhuo was so heartbroken. If she could do it again, she would definitely hold back and would never blame Luo Qingyan for making money!
[What’s the difference between this and finding out that you’ve won the lottery and that the ticket is expired at the same time, hahaha~]
[Honestly, I feel a little sorry for the anchor. That’s 10,000 taels hahaha~]
[I really...hahaha! I don't want to laugh hahaha...]
The barrage of comments would never miss an opportunity to laugh at Shi Li, and the string of “hahahaha” made Shi Li’s head hurt.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. Shi Li has to continue to comfort his injured old father, repeatedly promising that he will escort more often and strive to fulfill his father's dream of retiring as a criminal as soon as possible.
Shi Buhuo was completely heartbroken and kept shaking his head.
"Ten thousand taels... that's ten thousand taels..."
Shi Li: It’s over, it’s over, the old man has gone crazy.
There was no other way, Shi Li could only serve tea and water, and massage his father's back and shoulders. After finally coaxing the old man to stop muttering, a middle-aged scholar with a sage-like appearance actually brought Luo Qingyan back.
The scholar walked in front, and Luo Qingyan followed behind with his head lowered dejectedly.
"Shopkeeper Shi, my son is young and energetic, please don't be offended, shopkeeper and escort leader."
Xun Xi, a middle-aged scholar, was once saved by the owner of Baiyuan Villa. Later, in order to repay Luo Qingyan's father for saving his life, he stayed with Luo Qingyan and regarded him as a half-master.
Seeing that "Lottery" came back by itself, Shi Li was overjoyed, and without Shi Buhuo saying anything, he took the initiative to step forward and greet him.
"No, no, no, I was just reckless. I hope Mr. Xun and Master Luo can be more magnanimous."
Luo Qingyan probably felt that the contrast between her before and after was too great, so he looked up in surprise, then tilted his head and snorted.
Shi Li clenched her fists.
It’s okay for the money tree to have a little temper, but forget it.
This time with Xun Xi present, the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly.
The original owner was the best escort leader here, and Baiyuan Villa was not short of money, so the agreement was reached quickly.
The mission to Baiyuan Villa this time is to escort people.
It turned out that the owner of the manor asked Xun Xi to go out with Luo Qingyan so that he could see the world and gain some experience.
Unexpectedly, this son has been spoiled since he was a child, like a dandy boy, and has caused a lot of trouble when he goes out. A few days ago, a letter came from the villa, saying that the owner was ill and summoned Luo Qingyan to return to the villa as soon as possible.
The journey was long and urgent, and the owner of the manor and Xun Xi were worried about the safety on the road, so they found the Wenchang Escort Agency.
I hope they will send their best escort to escort Luo Qingyan back to Baiyuan Villa safely.
