Chapter 196: Chapter 197 Guo Feng’s Persuasion

Yuelai Restaurant

Xiaotian and Guo Feng entered the private room, where Guo Feng ordered a table full of delicious dishes.

"Xiaotian, you eat quickly, I remember when you were little, you loved peanuts the most."

As Guo Feng spoke, he helped Xiaotian with the dishes, but Xiaotian felt that even the tastiest food laid in front of her was hard to swallow. All she could think about was that if she couldn’t find a job, she would become a burden to the young master, and then she would really have to leave him.

"Brother, you eat, I’m not hungry!"

Seeing Xiaotian like this, Guo Feng’s eyes were full of heartache, seeing her eyes swollen from crying, he was burning with anxiety, wondering who was giving her such a hard time.

"Xiaotian, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Brother, it’s nothing, I just need to find a job now, can you help me?"

Guo Feng was the young master of the largest Dyeing Workshop in Lin County. He had come to deliver fabrics to Xiangxiang Cloth Shop, and given his relationship with Xiangxiang Cloth Shop, he should be able to help Xiaotian find a job. However, if Xiaotian had really offended someone here, how could he feel at ease leaving her here?

"Xiaotian, it seems you are really at your wit’s end, otherwise you wouldn’t ask me for help, not with your childhood temperament!"

"Brother, I..."

"Quickly tell me, perhaps I can help you. Even if you don’t say anything, I will still go out and inquire about it. It’s just a matter of time."

Xiaotian knew that Guo Feng was speaking the truth. Rather than letting him hear those unfounded rumors, it was better for her to tell him the genuine situation in the Li Residence.

So, she told Guo Feng everything about how Li Fugui was framed, how both her parents died, and how Li Fuyou seized their estate.

After listening, Guo Feng asked, "Is this Eldest Young Master of the Li Family the one you care about?"

"Yes."

He thought so too. Every time Xiaotian mentioned the Eldest Young Master of Li Family, the heartache in her eyes was evident. He felt a profound jealousy.

That Li Fugui was very much like him in his younger days, a pitiable person, yet, no matter how pitiable, he could not take Xiaotian away from him.

He had survived being alone since he was thirteen; Li Fugui, now twenty, should manage as well.

He thought to himself, ’Eldest Young Master of the Li Family, I apologize, but I must take Xiaotian away. You’re on your own now.’

"Xiaotian, forgive my bluntness, but staying here will only make you a burden to the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family."

Xiaotian had thought that seeing Guo Feng might give her some hope, but it turned out that Guo Feng thought the same.

"If the Second Young Master of Li Family wants to deal with the Eldest Young Master, he will inevitably eliminate everyone around him. Staying here will only hinder his endeavor to reclaim the Li Family."

Guo Feng thought if the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family truly cared about Xiaotian, he would leave her after the incident; he needed to use this perspective to persuade her.

"Staying by his side will only become an obstacle to his revenge. Hasn’t there been an instance where he wanted to leave you?"

Xiaotian looked startled and nodded.

"That’s right, he feels that having you with him will only distract him. If you truly care for him, leaving him is actually helping him."

Xiaotian, being quite naive, was swayed by Guo Feng’s persuasion, feeling that she had only one path to leave, which she was already considering.

"Xiaotian, even if you change your name and hide, the Second Young Master of Li Family will find you. So come with me. Only under my protection, can you avoid the Second Young Master’s targeting and not cause trouble for the Eldest Young Master."

"Don’t worry. You are just coming home with me; I won’t force you to marry me!"

After hearing Guo Feng’s words, Xiaotian, feeling as if there were no other options, nodded in agreement, "Yes, I’ll go back with you."
