“Gentleness? What kind of gentleness are you looking for?” Wei Ruo wanted to laugh.
After some thought, Wei Yilin replied, “Just like the gentleness of Sister Wanwan. You should learn from her. Her words are always soft and she’s always very gentle, even her smile is sweet.”
This time, Wei Ruo really laughed out loud and then responded with two words to Wei Yilin: “Dream on.”
“What did you say?”
“I said you are daydreaming. If you like Wei Qjngwan, you should just go to her. I don’t want to bother with you, let alone be gentle with you.”
Though when others were present, Wei Ruo would pretend around Wei Yilin. But with no one else around, Wei Ruo did not feel the need to be indirect with him.
“Wei Qjngruo, you… you’re too cruel! What kind of sister are you! You’re nothing like a sister!”
Wei Yilin stamped his foot angrily, his little face turning beet red, his eyes glaring wide.”
Wei Ruo gave a cold snort and completely ignored Wei Yilin’s dissatisfaction, striding back to her courtyard.
The abandoned Wei Yilin could only stomp his foot in place angrily.
“Bastard, jerk, idiot!” Wei Yilin stamped ceaselessly on the ground as if the ground was Wei Ruo.
Xiumei waited for Wei Ruo to return at the doorway and saw Wei Yilin stomping furiously from afar.
“Miss, what did you say that got the young master that angry?” Xiumei couldn’t help but be curious.
“Nothing much, I just didn’t want to be around him. Yet he wants me to be gentle with him like how Wei Qjngwan is, he’s probably just spouting crap.” Wei Ruo replied.
As soon as she has enough silver, she would find a short-lived ghost to marry. Like a cicada shedding its shell, he might not even be able to see her if he wished, let alone her being gentle with him. What gentleness, bloody hell!

Two days later, Wei Ruo received a message from Government City.
The preserved meat shop had encountered trouble.
The shop itself was fine, business was good. Chen Aqing and another runner were efficient at work and the daily earnings were substantial.
However, precisely because the shop was doing well, it had somehow aroused the jealousy of someone who sent men to cause trouble at the shop.
The first attempt to stir up trouble was unsuccessful, but in the second attempt they brazenly brought people over to trash the shop.
Chen Aqing defended the shop but was outnumbered and consequently injured.
Upon receiving the news, Wei Ruo immediately rushed to Government City with Xiumei.
Before leaving, she only told Wei Mingting that there was business to be attended to in Government City. Wei Mingting did not pry, only reminding Wei Ruo to bring more people for protection.
Wei Ruo tactfully declined, using the excuse that Madame Yuan would send people to meet them.
The matter she was dealing with in Government City could not be known to the Wei Family for now.
Upon reaching Government City, Wei Ruo first went to Chen Aqing’s residence to check the situation.
Currently, Chen Aqing was living with her aunt in a small alley in the city.
When Wei Ruo and Xiumei found Chen Aqing, she was lying on the bed recuperating.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing tried to get up but Wei Ruo stopped her: “Stay in bed, don’t move around.”
“Miss, I’m sorry… I failed to protect the shop…” Chen Aqing apologized regretfully.
“There’s no need to apologize. Next time when you encounter such a situation, and your enemy outnumbers you, just run. A trashed shop can be restored but not if something happens to you.”
