Chapter 263: Chapter 261: The Big Fox Shaking its Tail

Looking at the face in front of her that was both familiar and unfamiliar, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Subconsciously, she looked back to find Di Cheng’s figure but discovered that Di Cheng had already gone to the other side, greeting a customer who had just entered the door.

“I came back last night, so I came to see you first thing this morning.”

With a full-faced smile, Nan Tianzong’s squinted eyes seemed like warm sunlight, and his upturned mouth corners seemed like a crescent moon. After glancing at the surroundings, he nodded.

“Hmm, you’ve managed this shop quite well, very good.”

When Liu Sisi opened her mouth, she suddenly felt unsure about what to say in the current situation.

“Of course, we agreed that you would help me save Ye Lei, and I would look after your shop for a year for free.”

“Hmph! Little girl, you still remember those playful words from back then!”

Nan Tianzong raised his folding fan and gently tapped her forehead, “We are now siblings in the eyes of others. Are you still blaming me for leaving in such a hurry and not personally telling you before I left?” His clear laughter echoed.

“No, no, there’s no such thing.”

Liu Sisi felt her cheeks getting hotter and was somewhat overwhelmed by Nan Tianzong’s sudden kindness.

Liu Sisi still remembered the last time they met when they left Juxian Restaurant.

But then there was that unpleasant conversation. She clearly remembered the gloomy expression on his face when they parted at that time.

As for the reason for Nan Tianzong’s departure, Liu Sisi had speculated about it several times.

But precisely because she had figured it out, seeing him now made her feel a sense of surrealism.

With such warm eyes gazing at her, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but smile!

“At least you’re back now! That’s always a good thing.”

This way, she could restore the property to its rightful owner and not worry about occupying it herself.

“By the way, the account books for the recent period are here. I’ll show you, and the list of goods brought in during this time is also here, so you can…”

Before Liu Sisi could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly appeared in front of her holding account books, and she stopped talking.

She stood up awkwardly from the edge of the counter, mumbling and at a loss.

Nan Tianzong still had a pleasant expression: “I’ve read the account books. It’s really surprising that you’re so good at managing the shop. It’s truly rare!”

In this era, it was rare for a woman to be literate. Skilled shopkeepers would only appear among favored legitimate children of wealthy families who were taught day and night.

At the moment, when Nan Tianzong deliberately mentioned it, Liu Sisi paused for a moment and then let out a chuckle.

“Well… it’s because you left, and I was forced to do it. Anyway, now that you’re back, I’ll hand the accounts over to you. I’ve recorded the accounts from when you left; I think it’s on the first page of the account book…”

Liu Sisi quickly opened the account book, but in the next moment, she was stopped by a folding fan.

“Sisi, I didn’t come back this time to take over the shop.”

His eyes were fixed on her, “Here’s the thing; I opened two more shops in the county, but I’m short on funds. I’d like to invite you to invest and help manage them. What do you say?”

He’s short on funds?
