EBE Chapter 104 Commitment
Chapter 104 Commitment
Xia Mo had no idea that Ling Chuan had already begun to suspect Li Jingran of having ulterior motives, and he showed an expression that said, "I see."
He said, "It turns out to be Mr. Li. Nice to meet you. My name is Liu Ze, and I'm Brother Ling's husband. You can just call me Brother Ze. And thank you so much for what you did just now. I don't know how to thank you."
In fact, when Xia Mo first saw Li Jingran in the grocery store, he felt that this man was not a simple person. Now, after hearing Ling Chuan's concise and clear introduction, he became even more certain.
No wonder this person stared at him with such a strange look at that time. This person should also know the old friend that Ling Chuan mentioned, right?
Hiss, one or two of them are looking at him like this, are he really that similar to that person?
As Xia Mo thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. He wondered if he would be able to meet that person in the future, see his true appearance, and see how similar they were.
Li Jingran smiled when he heard that. He quickly glanced at Ling Chuan, who was staring at him warily with a sullen face, and said with a curled lip, "In that case, then Brother Ze, you don't have to call me Young Master Li anymore. Just call me Jingran, or Big Brother Li."
After Li Jingran finished speaking, he smiled at Ling Chuan provocatively. Look at this boy's face, it's as dark as Bao Gong. It seems that he cares about this guy very much.
Thinking of this, Li Jingran felt even better.
As the saying goes, fortune changes. It’s not that it doesn’t change, it’s just that the time has not come yet!
Seeing the other party say this, Xia Mo smiled and replied: "In this case, I will call you Brother Li."
After all, they are not familiar with each other, and calling Jing Ran directly would be too familiar. Besides, his jealous person is standing next to him. Last time, he was jealous because he called someone "Brother Gong". So think about it, compared to Jing Ran, Brother Li is better, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Mo turned his head to glance at Ling Chuan, and sure enough, he saw that he was frowning and looking at Li Jingran with hostility. He couldn't help but laugh and feel helpless.
Tsk, this is so cute and so unfair. I guess I have to have a good talk with him later. It’s not okay for him to be so jealous. The smell is almost suffocating him.
As Xia Mo thought about it, the smile on his face deepened.
Li Jingran had been secretly trying to figure out the relationship between the two, so he naturally noticed the doting and tolerant look that Xia Mo gave Ling Chuan, and couldn't help but snort inwardly.
This boy is so lucky. Thinking about his own bumpy and endless love life, Li Jingran felt a little envious for a moment.
So he deliberately said: "Ze'er, you don't need to be polite to me. The horse must be frightened. If we don't stop it in time and let it run rampant in the city, it will probably cause greater disasters. I just did what I could."
In fact, this is indeed the case. Li Jingran was walking at the back at first and did not notice that the person who was almost hit by the carriage was Xia Mo. So now thinking about it, Li Jingran is extremely glad that he did not stand idly by.
Otherwise, before the matter is fully investigated, something will happen to the protagonist first. If it is discovered that he is really Qiu Wu's nephew, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
Ling Chuan looked at Li Jingran, who was smiling warmly at the young man, and then looked at the young man, who was smiling so defenselessly at this man with ulterior motives, and felt depressed for a moment.
So he looked at Li Jingran and said coldly: "No matter what, you saved my husband, so I owe you a favor. If I can do it, you can come to Liujia Village to find me."
When Xia Mo heard this, his eyes suddenly focused, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded slightly, and then he looked up at Ling Chuan.
Li Jingran and Ling Chuan looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, I'll remember this."
Ling Chuan hummed lightly, then retracted his gaze and turned to look at him steadily. The little brother who seemed unhappy couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Ze'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Mo lowered his eyes, his crow-feather-like eyelashes instantly concealed the emotions in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, there was nothing left.
"I'm fine." Xia Mo shook his head, then looked at Li Jingran and said with a smile, "That's it. Brother Li, if you need any help, just come to Liujia Village to find us. We will definitely help you if we can."
In fact, Xia Mo didn't want to repay the favor in this way at all, because this person must know Ling Chuan's previous identity, and he was afraid that the other party would make some excessive demands. After all, something like what happened to Master Qiao was enough once.
But the words had been spoken, and Xia Mo felt that he couldn't let his brother Chuan lose face in front of others, right? Especially since he found that the auras of these two people seemed a little off?
"Okay." Li Jingran raised his eyebrows, his eyes moving between the two of them, as if thinking about something.
Xia Mo glanced at Ling Chuan who looked a little impatient and said, "Brother Li, we have something else to do, so we'll take our leave now."
"Well, see you later." Li Jingran smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman who had been hesitating and not daring to step forward finally got the chance and shouted before Xia Mo left: "Wait a minute, benefactor! I haven't thanked you two benefactors yet!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mo stopped in his tracks.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman in patched clothes walking towards them with a little girl who had red eyes and nose and was hiccuping. Behind them was an honest-looking man carrying two baskets of eggs.
Receiving the gazes of Xia Mo and the others, the woman hurriedly put on a hurried smile on her sallow face, quickened her pace and walked up to them, introducing herself: "I am this girl's mother. Thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, my daughter might have been in trouble..."
The woman's voice choked as she spoke. Thinking back on the terrifying scene just now, if no one had stepped forward, her daughter would most likely have been trampled or knocked away by the horse.
"Yes, yes, thank you so much... We don't have much at home, so these few eggs are just a small gift. I hope you two won't mind." Seeing this, the man behind her hurried forward to thank her.
Looking at the three people who were dressed several times better than them, and then looking at himself who looked so shabby, the man felt a little embarrassed, but still reached out and handed the basket to Xia Mo and Li Jingran.
Xia Mo looked at the grateful but somewhat nervous couple, and his eyes moved to the two baskets full of eggs in the man's hand. He shook his head and declined politely: "Aunt, uncle, I didn't help much, so you don't need these eggs, you can keep them and sell them yourself."
That’s right, this middle-aged couple was selling eggs. Xia Mo and the other two could tell at a glance.
Because where they were standing just now there was a bamboo basket with wood chips in it, and there were also some scattered on the ground around it, probably shaken off when they were picking up eggs just now.
"That won't do. You two benefactors should just accept it." The woman said anxiously when she saw Xia Mo refused to accept it. Then she lowered her head to look at her little daughter, "Yaya, hurry up and say thank you to your uncles and aunts."
After hearing this, the little girl who was holding her mother's fingers tightly raised her head slowly. She first looked at Xia Mo, then timidly looked at Li Jingran and Ling Chuan, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Yaya, thank you uncle and aunt."
Xia Mo lowered his head, and gave her a gentle smile with his eyes curved. "No need to thank me, I'm glad Yaya is okay."
