Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 97

In Yuanlai Inn, a girl was sitting at the table in the guest room. She held an embroidered needle in her hand. The sleeve of her right hand was rolled up, exposing a scalded arm. She aimed at a blister, and then pricked it . The blisters exploded. She put down the embroidery needle and wiped it with a handkerchief.

There was a box of scald cream on her hand. This was sent by someone. She knew the person who sent it. It was Chen Jili’s servant. The person who came said nothing. He put down the ointment and left, just like Chen Jili’s style. She hadn’t seen him care about her before, but now that she had left, he did. Ning Qing covered the ointment with a handkerchief to be not bothered by it.

There was a knock on the door. She lowered her sleeve and stepped forward to open the door.

The Flower boss stood at the door, with some worries. He glanced at Ning Qing ’s arm and handed her a box of scald cream.

Ning Qing took the burn ointment, Chinese wan hung. She had heard that it was the best ointment for burns treatment. It was difficult to buy. He was so caring, Ning Qing emotionally exclaimed, “Thank you!”

But she was at a loss and immediately remembered what he said in the drunk incense restaurant.

His woman.

She never thought that he would say that in public. In Ning Qing’s cognition, she always thought that he cared because of their cooperation, which made them gradually become friends. Moreover, she also confirmed and asked him whether he was interested in her, but he resolutely answered no, and even asked her not to think about it.

But … he said that to Chen Jili. How could she not think much about it?

Yang Junhan looked at Ning Qing with deep eyes, “Don’t worry about those words that I just said. I couldn’t see you in that situation, and said that to help you out. You are a very good woman. But he didn’t cherish you because he is blind.”

Yang Junhan said so because of the rumours surrounding him. He himself was not sure if they weren’t true, how could he ask someone to not believe them? After all, he loved her. He couldn’t risk her life. He was also unwilling to put the burden on her to make the choice.

He wanted to protect her, but he didn’t dare to get too close. He could lose a lot. That was what Yang Junhan didn’t want to see, and he absolutely didn’t dare to move forward.

Ning Qing felt relieved. If the boss was serious, she really didn’t know how to refuse him. After all, the boss was very good and helped her a lot.

She just wanted to sell all the makeup and she was unwilling to think about these things. She was hurt by Chen Jili and was afraid. She didn’t dare to take another risk.

“Thank you for thinking about me. In fact, I don’t care about him anymore. When I was with him, I was always upset and I couldn’t eat or sleep. But since I left him, I realised he was not as important as I thought. Life became easier.”

It wasn’t like when she saw Chen Jili her emotions didn’t fluctuate at all. After all, she was human and her heart was not made of stone. The memories of the past were still vivid. Because of her obsession with him, she has become particularly keen. But she learned to hide it deep in her heart and she no longer showed them to him.

In her eyes, he was no longer the boy with starry eyes and she was no longer the woman with eyes full of him.

She just let go of him.

Those admiration would become blurred over time.

Seeing Ning Qing’s relaxed expression, Yang Junhan felt a little sour in his heart.

When the two were quiet, a salesman came rushing towards Ning Qing, “We got good news. A merchant wants to place an order.”

Ning Qing was overjoyed, “Really? Which merchant is it? Where? How much is ordered?”

“I heard that he is a big merchant . The number should not be small. The merchant is staying in Yuanlai Inn, and can meet with you at any time to discuss in detail.”

“That’s great, I’ll go and change to a proper dress.”

This was the best news she heard these days. She was overjoyed and asked others to leave. She closed the door and changed her clothes.

Yang Junhan was also infected with the mood. With a deep smile on his face, he watched the woman close the door. He discovered that her joys and sorrow affected him so much. This caught him by surprise. She could so easily affect his emotions.

Ning Qing saw the big merchant, surnamed Qin. He was in his thirties or forties. He came from the north. He had liked her makeup powder and wanted to visit her workshop.

Boss Qin was actually surprised when he saw the female owner, but calmed. After all, he traveled south and north for many years. Although the female owners were rare, he had seen some. The people with more knowledge and broad minds didn’t care about stuff like gender. In fact he thought that women’s cosmetics would only be understood by women. The things they make would be more in line to the demand.

Ning Qing felt that this boss was a knowledgeable person. So she hired a carriage and returned to Qingshui with him.
