Chapter 114: Caught Snitching
Cao Yan has not been in a good mood recently.
Shen Qingning still ignored him and even rejected his invitation to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon.
This made Cao Yan feel frustrated again.
A few years ago, when he first saw Shen Qingning, he was shocked and fell in love at first sight, and began to pursue her passionately.
However, up to now, the relationship between him and Shen Qingning has not made any progress.
From the beginning to the end, Shen Qingning did not take him seriously.
He is the son of a county magistrate. If it were someone else, he would not dare to be so ungrateful.
But Shen Qingning is different.
Since the Shen family became rich, the Shen family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the network of people they have made has become wider and wider. Now there is a bigger backer behind the Shen family.
In this case, Cao Yan naturally dare not mess around.
Of course, there is another very important reason, that is, Cao Yan really likes Shen Qingning.
In his eyes, Shen Qingning is different from other coquettish bitches.
However, even so, Shen Qingning still turned a blind eye to his sincere heart.
Even disdainful.
Cao Yan certainly knew the reason.
All this was because of the existence of one person... Li Beifeng!
When Cao Yan mentioned this person, he hated it.
He knew that Shen Qingning and Li Beifeng were childhood sweethearts, and he also knew about the engagement between the two.
Although with the prosperity of the Shen family, the engagement seemed to have been invalidated. But in Cao Yan's heart, this was still a hurdle that he could not cross.
Especially when he learned that Shen Qingning often went to see Li Beifeng every now and then.
What does it mean that a single man and a single woman often meet?
It goes without saying.
Cao Yan is not stupid. What else could be the reason why Shen Qingning went to see Li Beifeng so frequently?
It is precisely because of this that Cao Yan regarded Li Beifeng as a thorn in his side.
If it were not for Shen Qingning's repeated warnings and fear of his father, Cao Yan would have killed Li Beifeng, the poor doctor.
Why would a small village doctor compete with him for a woman?
Although Shen Qingning was not invited to today's Mid-Autumn Festival, it did not affect Cao Yan's search for Shen Qingning.
He knew that Shen Qingning was interested in the martial arts masters and would definitely go to watch the martial arts competition. So Cao Yan took a few of his lackeys and planned to join in the fun.
"Young Master, who do you think that is?"
At this moment, Zhang Quan, a lackey, suddenly pointed at two figures by the river not far away.
Cao Yan followed his sight and saw Li Beifeng standing by the river.
And next to Li Beifeng, there was another figure.
Although the light was dim at night, Cao Yan could still see that it was a woman.
A young woman.
It was a pity that he could not see her face. However, even if it was just the back, it was still amazing.
Cao Yan showed a bit of surprise.
Why was Li Beifeng here?
Who was the woman next to him?
"Sir, Li Beifeng is having a tryst with another woman!"
Zhang Quan on the side asked in confusion: "Who is this woman? I've never seen her before?"
When Cao Yan heard Zhang Quan's words, he seemed to be enlightened, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, Li Beifeng is having a tryst with someone here!
It doesn't matter who this woman is... What's important is that Li Beifeng is having a tryst with someone else.
If Shen Qingning knew this...
Cao Yan always thought that the reason why Shen Qingning ignored him was entirely because of Li Beifeng.
If Shen Qingning knew now that Li Beifeng was having a tryst with another woman...
Cao Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said excitedly: "Let's go find Qingning!"
...
In Ping'an County.
A high-rise attic somewhere in the west.
In the room.
Shen Qingning was lying on the fence bored, glancing downstairs from time to time, as if looking for something.
When she saw nothing, there was a little more disappointment in her eyes.
At this moment, downstairs was the competition site of this Mid-Autumn Festival.
Many masters gathered together, it was so lively.
From Shen Qingning's position, she could see the entire competition site.
In the past, Shen Qingning was very interested in such a scene of master duel. However, today she seemed a little bored.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The maid Yun'er asked curiously.
Why does the young lady feel a little strange today?
Hasn't the young lady always been interested in these masters?
Why does the young lady seem unhappy?
Yun'er thought about it for a while.
Could it be... because Mr. Li didn't come?
As Shen Qingning's personal maid, Yun'er naturally knew the existence of Li Beifeng.
Seeing the young lady's eager look at this time, Yun'er already knew in her heart that this was probably the reason.
But...
Yun'er seemed to think of something again and sighed slightly.
"I'm fine!"
Shen Qingning continued to lie on the fence, but she was furious and had no place to vent her anger.
Bastard Li Beifeng!
Damn Li Beifeng!
He really stood her up!
She had previously traveled a long way to invite that guy to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he had found all kinds of excuses to procrastinate.
Now it seems that he really didn't come!
He really didn't take her seriously.
Humph!
I'll never talk to him again!
Shen Qingning thought angrily in her heart.
Thinking about it, I felt a little sad again.
It's inevitable that I feel a little aggrieved.
After a while, Shen Qingning, who had sorted out her emotions, stood up and said, "Forget it, there's nothing to see, let's go."
Yun'er asked with some concern: "Miss, are you... okay?"
"No, what can happen to me?"
Yun'er looked unconvinced.
After thinking about it, she began to comfort him again: "Miss, maybe Mr. Li is here? He just hasn't come here yet!"
"Humph, what does it have to do with me whether he comes or not?"
Shen Qingning glanced at Yun'er: "I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know him. Who cares whether he comes or not."
Yun'er stopped talking and sighed secretly.
Miss, you almost write your concern on your face, and you're still pretending.
"Forget it, let's go find Sister Su."
Shen Qingning snorted again: "Sister Su is still good to me. I heard that Sister Su is discussing poetry and songs with those scholars. Let's go over and play."
Since the lady has decided, Yun'er will naturally follow honestly.
However, when the two of them just arrived at the door, they ran into a group of people.
Cao Yan and others happened to meet Shen Qingning and her servant at the door.
"Qingning!"
Cao Yan excitedly called Shen Qingning.
"Is there something?"
Shen Qingning was in a bad mood and her tone was a little impatient.
"Qingning, I have something important to tell you!"
Cao Yan thought of what he had just seen and immediately spoke excitedly.
"Not interested, don't listen!"
Shen Qingning refused without thinking.
If it were normal, she might have the time to say a few words to Cao Yan.
But now... she is angry!
Don't bother her!
Cao Yan was stunned for a moment. What happened to Qingning?
However, seeing that Shen Qingning turned around and was about to leave, Cao Yan was also anxious and spoke quickly.
"Qingning, I just saw Li Beifeng by the river, with a woman... I don't know what he was doing."
Shen Qingning, who had originally planned to leave, turned around suddenly and stared at Cao Yan.
"What did you say?!!"
...
