Chapter 1000 - 228: Pei Qin I Hate You
Shen Songming was to meet a potential bride, and instead of his siblings from the Shen family handling it, Dan Yefei was brought in to assist with the matchmaking!? Even if it was true, the expression and look in Dan Yefei’s eyes also chilled Pei Qin, "I haven’t heard any news of Old Master Shen and his wife’s passing."
Seeing her sarcastic remark, Dan Yefei chuckled lightly, "Madam doesn’t want to know what secrets lie within?"
"No!" Dealing with the Transport Gang indeed saved her much hassle and earned her more money, but that didn’t mean Dan Yefei could peer into her affairs.
Dan Yefei sighed regretfully, "It seems Madam detests me now."
"How could I? Young Master Dan is like a fine scholar and a handsome gentleman, and with every meeting I manage to make more money, you are indeed like the God of Wealth!" Pei Qin grinned with clenched teeth.
Dan Yefei’s lips twitched, speaking the truth, it was his sister Dan Mingzhu, who, since laying eyes on Shen Songming, was set on marrying him. Shen Songming also mentioned that Dan Mingzhu was smart and adorable, stating how lucky the man who marries her would be. Dan Zhaoxiong treasured this daughter born late in his life, and after investigating Shen Songming’s reputation, although born into the Shen family, his reputation was not good, having jilted more than one fiancée before. Both Shen Gu and Lady Shen had tried repeatedly to force him into marriage without success, and now they were at a point where as long as he was willing to marry, even a widow was acceptable.
Shen Songming had already decided to forsake a scholarly career for business and not pursue officialdom. Dan Mingzhu, being the daughter of the Leader of Cao Gang, was also considered a suitable match.
Dan Yefei’s current visit was to bring his sister to meet in Capital Jingcheng; it was also for a mutual assessment. But he worried about not passing muster with Pei Qin.
It wasn’t that Pei Qin would interfere with Shen Songming’s matrimonial affairs; rather, the reason Shen Songming had remained unmarried was all because of Pei Qin. Dan Yefei did not believe there could be such a blindly infatuated man. If Shen Songming hadn’t continuously found his interactions with Pei Qin beneficial, he wouldn’t have remained so devoted to her, unable to see anyone else.
After hearing the full story, Pei Qin chuckled and pointed at his head, "Look! Young Master Dan has developed a bump on his head!"
Dan Yefei instinctively reached to touch his head, then realized Pei Qin was mocking him, yet he was not annoyed, "Madam! You and Brother Shen are old friends of many years, surely you wouldn’t want to see him lonely for life! Why not persuade him a bit, let Brother Shen have a joyful family life, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
