The Rebirth of an Orphan

"Heh!" Before Zhao Xihua could speak, Gu Lun wiped the dagger in his hand with a white towel and laughed at Qin Xiaoxiao.

He was already good-looking, and the wicked smile on his face added a different kind of charm to his appearance. He could truly be described as peerless in appearance.

Such a stunning beauty made Qin Xiaoxiao, who loved Lingzhi to the extreme, stunned for a long time.

Gu Lun smiled faintly and said, "Miss Qin, is your vision not good? How come you found the wrong person? It was me who beat and injured people, what does Miss Zhao have to do with it? You just heard clearly that it was the eldest lady of the Zhao family who caused you to lose face. Are you deaf or do you have amnesia? How come you forgot what just happened?"

Qin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Isn't it just a dog next to Deng Xiao? Ha, I don't believe you can still turn the world upside down. Let's wait and see."

Even so, she was still afraid that Gu Lun would take action again, so she turned around and took her people away in the car, and Zhao Ziqin certainly did not let her get in the car.

Zhao Ziqin covered her forehead and waited on the roadside for the Zhao family's car to pick her up. People around her were pointing at her and talking. She felt so embarrassed. The news that she was slapped and injured by Qin Xiaoxiao would probably spread throughout Yuncheng soon.

She was a famous lady from Yuncheng, but now she was being bullied by the daughters of the noble families in Kyoto. One day, she would definitely get the power and status of those noble ladies in Kyoto. No, she would even get a higher position. One day...

Gu Lun looked at the embarrassed Zhao Ziqin and said, "Miss Zhao, you are the daughter of a rich family, how come you are worse than a village woman in your conduct and work? It's ok that you gossip with your big mouth, but how come you are so cruel? I heard that there was a Miss Zhao in Yuncheng who was famous for her talent, elegance and generosity, but today..."

Gu Lun laughed sarcastically, "It really lives up to its reputation. I admire it."

This was such a slap in the face that Zhao Ziqin's face flushed red, and the corners of her lips trembled as she said, "This is none of your business. You should take care of your own business. Although you are from the Deng family, you have offended the Ling family. You have slapped the Ling family's reputation. Think about how you should face it."

Zhao Ziqin smiled coldly and turned away. She wanted to go back to her mother to discuss countermeasures. Today's incident not only failed to kill Zhao Xihua, but also got herself into trouble, especially Qin Xiaoxiao was difficult to deal with. Fortunately, her mother was there, so Qin Xiaoxiao should not do anything to her.

Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and really couldn't understand him. She didn't know how to evaluate him, and couldn't tell whether he was good or bad. Although he saved her, she always felt that he was a little evil. However, she did owe him a favor for today.

So she hurried forward and said to Gu Lun: "Thank you sir for saving my life, I..."

"Of course you owe me a favor, come with me." Gu Lun's expression when he looked at Zhao Xihua was a little strange and his attitude was a little cold. Zhao Xihua felt a little puzzled.

If I guessed correctly, this person was not angry with her, right? Was he unhappy because he had offended the Ling family today? But she didn't expect Gu Lun to help her today.

Zhao Xihua paused while thinking, but Gu Lun turned around and looked at the hesitant Zhao Xihua and sneered: "What? Miss Zhao Si, how come I, Gu, saved you today, and this is how you repay me? Don't you even want to have a cup of tea with me?"

Zhao Xihua hurriedly said, "No, sir, you are too kind." She was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others. If Gu Lun had not been willing to offend the Ling family to help her today, she would have definitely become the meal of those women, and the consequences were unimaginable.

After hearing what Zhao Xihua said, Gu Lun's expression eased a little, "You have some good sense."

Then he pointed to the drink shop next to him and smiled: "Let's go over there."

She nodded and followed Gu Lun to the beverage store. Pingshui and Uncle Lin, who were still in shock, followed her. Unexpectedly, Gu Lun glanced at them and said to Zhao Xihua:

"What? Miss Zhao Si, are you afraid that I will do something bad to you? I just want to talk to you for a few minutes, but you have so many people watching. Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Zhao Xihua turned around and said to Pingshui and Uncle Lin, "I'm fine here. You guys go outside and buy something to eat. You must be hungry after such a long time. Just eat something to fill your stomach."

"Okay, sister." Pingshui still looked at Zhao Xihua worriedly before leaving.

"Go ahead. I'm fine here." Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun and said generously, "It's just that Mr. Gu wanted to have a cup of tea and chat with me."

Zhao Xihua had experienced too much betrayal and torture in her previous life and had a thorough understanding of human nature. She would not believe that Gu Lun would help her without any reason.

There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky for no reason in this world, and there is no one who treats you well for no reason. Zhao Xihua knows all this very well.

After entering the beverage shop, they found a seat by the window facing the sun. The decoration inside the shop was quite elegant, and through the window they could see the shop across the street that Zhao Xihua wanted to rent.

It seemed that the landlord of the shop should have returned. She saw two more people in the empty shop, a young man and a middle-aged man.

At this time, she was a little anxious. After all, she had taken a fancy to this shop. If she didn't contact the landlord immediately and rent the shop, it would be difficult to find such a suitable place again.

This shop is next to a river and has a forest at the back. It is not too remote and the surrounding environment is quiet, making it the most suitable place to open a Chinese medicine clinic.

If I can bring the master out as soon as possible, run this Chinese medicine clinic here together with him, and show my filial piety to him, I will have done my duty.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua who was sitting opposite him, and noticed a hint of anxiety in her eyes, which made him feel a little nervous.

He has always been a man of great potential and calmness, but for some reason, he smelled the same kind of scent on the girl opposite him.

He and she are definitely destined to be the same person.

"Sit down and talk." Gu Lun calmly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xihua. He glanced out the window and smiled, "No need to look. The store has been sold."

"What did you say?" Zhao Xihua looked at Gu Lun suddenly.

Gu Lun held the teacup and handed it to Zhao Xi: "Try it. This tea is brought from Kyoto to Yuncheng. It's not from this store. We are just using this place to taste tea, enjoy the scenery and chat."

Zhao Xihua glanced at Gu Lun meaningfully, took the teacup, took a sip, looked up at Gu Lun and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Gu likes Kuding tea? Most people can't stand this taste."

Kuding tea has a unique and extremely bitter taste, but Zhao Xihua prefers this flavor."

She took another sip of the teacup, then looked at Gu Lun and smiled, "Mr. Gu, if I'm not mistaken, you have already bought that store, right?"
