Chapter 237 Misunderstanding 2

Before the young man finished speaking, the mother and son who were kneeling on the ground looked at each other quietly and winked.

Then, the mother and son suddenly stood up, turned around and ran. The speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, they had already run seven or eight meters away.

The young man turned around immediately when he heard the strange movement. When he saw the mother and son running away, he chased after them in a rage: "Asshole, you stole my purse and wanted to escape. It's not that easy!"

Stole...purse?

Ling Jingyan stared at the young man chasing after her with her eyes wide open, and she was so annoyed in her heart.

Was she in trouble by doing this?

The answer was obvious.

Less than a cup of tea later, the young man came back with a dark face. Seeing that the nosy girl was still there, he couldn't help but snorted heavily.

Ling Jingyan coughed awkwardly and asked cautiously, "Sir, did you catch up with the mother and son?"

The young man rolled his eyes at her unhappily, "They ran so fast, how could I catch them back?"

The mother and son were agile and nimble, and were particularly familiar with the surrounding environment. They went into the alley and soon disappeared. It would be strange if he could catch up with them.

The young man became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He said, "I came to Huichuntang today to get a number for my family to seek medical treatment. When I got here, I met this mother and son begging. I felt sorry for them, so I gave them some loose change. I didn't expect to be targeted. One of them pestered me to thank me, and the other stole my purse. Fortunately, I found out early and caught them before they could slip away."

"If you hadn't asked me without asking any questions, I would have taken the purse back long ago."

Ling Jingyan's pretty face was flushed with shame and embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I should have asked about the whole story before saying anything."

"Now that the thief has run away, what's the point of saying sorry?" The young man was very eloquent.

Ling Jingyan gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it! I will compensate you with whatever silver you have in your purse."

The young man glanced at her and said with a fake smile, "Oh? Thank you very much. I have 20 taels of silver in my purse, plus 300 taels of silver notes, plus a piece of fine jade pendant."

Ling Jingyan: "..."

You are really not polite!

This amount of silver is not much, but it is not little.

Ling Jingyan's monthly allowance is only 50 taels. With this calculation, wouldn't the monthly allowance for more than half a year be gone in an instant?

Ling Jingyan felt a little distressed and couldn't help muttering, "What's in it is what you said, who knows if it's true or not."

Just as she said it, she was afraid that the young man would turn against her, so she hurriedly added, "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. Anyway, I will compensate you."

The young man looked at her stingy look, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated. Suddenly, I felt that this young girl who came out of nowhere was straightforward, silly and cute.

This matter had nothing to do with her at all. He said that just now because he was angry and deliberately made things difficult. I really didn't expect that she would take it seriously...

After the anger subsided, he looked at the girl carefully again. She was watery and delicate. Especially her almond eyes, which were big and smart, very cute.

The young man's heart was moved, and he deliberately asked: "Do you have any cash on you?"

Ling Jingyan shook her head honestly: "No. I only have some small change on me. However, my fifth uncle is in there, I will ask him if he has brought it. If he has brought it, I will give it to you. If not, please leave your name and address, and I will send it to your door another day."

"My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Jian. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and his name is Nian." The young man looked at Ling Jingyan deeply: "I wonder what your name is?"

How can a woman's maiden name be told to others casually?

Ling Jingyan replied casually: "My last name is Ling, and my father is a doctor in the Ministry of Industry." After that, she turned and entered Huichun Hall.

Zhang Jian thought for a moment and followed.

...

"Uncle Wu," Ling Jingyan walked to Master Ling Wu with a shameful face and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any silver with you? Can you lend me some first?"

Master Ling Wu was stunned and a little surprised: "I have it. Why are you asking this? Do you want to buy some rouge and powder? Wait until Shu comes out of the consultation, you two can go together!"

Ling Jingyan's expression was even more ashamed: "No, I don't want to buy rouge and powder. I have other uses. Uncle Wu, can you lend me three hundred and twenty taels first?"

Three hundred and twenty taels?

Master Ling Wu frowned. What did Ling Jingyan suddenly want so much silver for?

Even Ling Xiao noticed something was wrong, and couldn't help but come over and ask: "Cousin Yan, is there something wrong? Why do you suddenly want money?"

Ling Jingyan's pretty face flushed, and she stammered and whispered what happened just now.

Ling Wuye Ling Xiao: "..."

What is this?

Ling Wuye was quite speechless. If it wasn't for the inappropriate time and place, he really wanted to frown and scold Ling Jingyan!

Ling Xiao asked curiously: "Cousin Yan, where is the man named Zhang Jian? Where is he?"

Ling Jingyan pointed to the person not far away: "The one wearing a blue Confucian shirt, tall and with an unlucky face." If he didn't look unlucky, how could his purse be stolen. She will also lose money because of this!

Ling Xiao grinned as he listened.

Zhang Jian was originally standing five or six meters away, but suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Ling Wuye: "This must be Ling Wuye! Junior Zhang Jian."

He seemed quite polite.

Ling Wuye suppressed his curiosity and smiled at Zhang Jian: "It turned out to be Master Zhang. I heard about what happened just now from A Yan. It was all A Yan's fault for being reckless and impulsive. Master Zhang, please rest assured that we will pay for this money and will not let Master Zhang suffer losses in vain."

A Yan!

What a nice name.

Zhang Jian repeated it several times in his mind, and smiled politely: "Master Ling Wu has misunderstood. I just said that to Miss Ling. In fact, there are only a few taels of loose silver in the purse, which is not worth mentioning."

Ling Jingyan: "..."

Ling Jingyan turned her head suddenly, and her almond eyes seemed to be able to spit out sparks: "Zhang Jian, you actually tricked me!"

Zhang Jian's eyes flashed a smile, but his expression was innocent: "How could I know you would take it seriously."

Ling Jingyan's pretty face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth secretly.

What a good Zhang Jian, I will remember you!
