Ye Mei did not notice the shopkeeper's expression. She had been treated coldly by Ye Maocai for the past few days and was extremely angry. However, she also realized that the Ye family was not a place to stay for long. Ye Maocai was a person who prioritized his own interests. For his own interests, he could sacrifice her at any time. She originally wanted to use the Ye family to climb up, but who knew that she was not strong enough and could only be a chess piece. And the path that Ye Maocai had arranged for her was not enough for Ye Mei to get what she wanted.
Her gaze swept over the dazzling jewelry, but her heart was thinking about how to escape, and if she could escape, where could she escape to.
Just as she was thinking, two more people came to the jewelry shop. It was a man and a woman. The man was about thirty years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, had average looks, and was slightly plump. The woman was young, dressed in red and green. As soon as she came in, there was a strong fragrance. One look and one could tell that she was a brothel girl.
The woman said sweetly, "Daren is buying bracelets with me, it must be made of gold."
The man smiled and said generously, "Today you can pick whatever you want, this prince is in a good mood."
It should be some young master who brought a girl from the brothel to be a sucker.
The shopkeeper was already dissatisfied with Ye Mei's absent-minded state. Now that there was a new customer, he simply threw Ye Mei to the side and smiled as he placed the jewelry he had just given Ye Mei in front of the woman. He said with a smile, "These are all newly delivered, young lady can take a look."
The woman squeezed to Ye Mei's side, and the fragrance made Ye Mei somewhat unhappy. She turned her head to look at the woman, and when she saw the man beside the woman, she could not help but be startled. The man also saw her and was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in pleasant surprise, "Mei 'er!"
The woman who was picking jewelry raised her head and looked at Ye Mei warily. The shopkeeper also pricked up his ears. Since this person called Ye Mei "Mei 'er", he naturally had an old friendship with Ye Mei. After all, Ye Mei was the daughter of a merchant.
Ye Mei originally wanted to avoid his gaze and leave, but suddenly thought of something and her footsteps stopped. She looked at the shopkeeper again and suddenly said, "Since we've met, let's talk somewhere else."
The man seemed to be very eager, and the woman beside him grabbed the man's arm and said, "Daren, you still have to accompany this servant to pick jewelry."
The man was impatient, and directly grabbed a few banknotes from his bosom and threw them to the woman, saying, "See for yourself."
After receiving the banknote, the woman no longer pestered him. The man and Ye Mei went out together. Ye Mei put on her veil and said, "Let's find a restaurant."
In a certain elegant room in the restaurant, the man looked at Ye Mei and asked curiously, "Why do you have so many guards by your side? Back then, you and Brother Ye disappeared from Qin Province without saying a word. I asked people to look for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here. "
Ye Mei's heart was pounding. This man was none other than her childhood sweetheart. Back then, the Li family was a merchant family in Qinzhou, and this man was the eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Xingming. The Jin family was also a merchant family. Master Jin and Master Li had a good relationship. When Ye Mei was young, Jin Xingming was already a young man. Master Jin also joked about marrying Ye Mei to Jin Xingming. Ye Mei had been ambitious since she was young. Marrying a merchant woman was not her ultimate goal.
But even though she hated Jin Xingming, she was very smart and never showed it to Jin Xingming. Instead, she was very considerate and obedient. She charmed Jin Xingming, worshipped her like a god, and loved her like a jewel.
Later, the Li couple passed away, and the Li family's shops still needed the Jin family's care. Ye Mei was even more considerate to Jin Xingming. Master Jin was also planning to ask about her marriage. After all, the Li couple was not here, and the only one who could make the decision was Ye Mei herself.
Ye Mei was naturally unwilling. In her heart, she would rather be an official's concubine than a merchant's wife. At this time, the Ye family appeared and hit it off. Ye Mei immediately came to Long Ye with Ye Mei. Because of her hatred for the Jin family, she didn't even say a word to the Jin family. Jin Xingming naturally didn't know that she had come to Long Ye. Who knew that they would meet here.
