Chapter 198
198 If God Helps
As she spoke, Li Xiaoran invited Qin Meizhen to sit in a small room in the courtyard.
The weather became cold. Luo Cheng was worried that Li Xiaoran would catch a cold and asked someone to prepare a carbon stove for her.
Li Xiaoran felt that the room was small and there were small windows to ventilate it. She was not afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, so she chose to warm up here.
Feeling the warm temperature in the room, Qin Meizhen took off her cloak and handed it to a maidservant behind her.
Li Xiaoran glanced at the maid and then looked away.
“Actually, I came here to ask for your help!” After taking a sip of tea, Qin Meizhen went straight to the point.
“Ask me for help? How can I help you?” Li Xiaoran was very surprised and didn’t expect this at all.
“It’s like this. My uncle and aunt thought about it and felt that I couldn’t stay at home and be controlled by my father and stepmother anymore. The only good way is to marry me off. Anyway, my father doesn’t care about me and my stepmother schemed against me. Why don’t I take this opportunity to get married and stay far away from that wolf den?” Qin Meizhen told her about her situation.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded.
“That’s right. If you don’t want to be controlled by your parents, getting married is indeed a good idea. It’s just that when in a hurry, can you find a good family to marry? How do you know if the other party’s character is good? Don’t run out of the wolf’s den to enter the tiger’s den.”
“Yes, I’m also worried about that, so I came to you for help! My uncle and aunt have helped me find a few families. These families are considered well-matched with us in terms of social status. If I’m married off, I won’t have to worry about my father and stepmother harming me. It’s just that I don’t know who to choose, so I want you to help me think about it!” Qin Meizhen looked shy when she talked about her marriage.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes widened and she pointed at herself.
“You want my opinion?”
“That’s right! You’re my benefactor. The person you chose for me definitely won’t be a bad choice!” Qin Meizhen reached out and pulled Li Xiaoran’s sleeve.
“Li Xiaoran, help me!” As she spoke, Qin Meizhen revealed a pleading expression.
Li Xiaoran looked at Qin Meizhen and hesitated for a moment before saying.
“This is too sudden. You have to give me time to think!”
“Then give me an answer tomorrow!” Qin Meizhen thought for a moment and said.
“Not tomorrow. I still have something to do tomorrow and can’t be delayed! How about this?! I’ll give you an answer in three days!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and gave a definite answer.
Three days should be enough for her to acknowledge her family!
“Three days?” Qin Meizhen hesitated.
“If you can’t wait three days, find someone else to help you!” Li Xiaoran simply said.
It would be even better if Qin Meizhen didn’t pester her to give her advice.
To be honest, she was really unwilling to interfere in other people’s marriages.
If the two of them got together and lived a peaceful life in the future, it would be fine.
If their marriage didn’t go well in the future, she would seem like the bad guy.
Yes, she had empathy. She could see a person’s emotions clearly and judge if they were good or bad.
However, marriage was different from anything else. It depended on fate.
Some people were clearly good people, but their personalities didn’t match. It was very torturous for them to force themselves to stay together.
Some people clearly had their own obvious shortcomings, but their personalities complemented each other, so their lives were smooth-sailing.
Li Xiaoran really didn’t want to get involved in matchmaking.
“Three days it is. You can’t go back on your word!” Qin Meizhen could only agree in the end.
“I only said that I would consider it for three days, but I didn’t say that I would definitely help you!” Li Xiaoran said bluntly.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll definitely pester you to agree! If you don’t think I’m annoying, then don’t agree!” Qin Meizhen chuckled aloofly.
This time, Li Xiaoran immediately felt a headache.
Facing Qin Meizhen’s shamelessness, she really had no choice.
Forget it, she should wait for Luo Cheng to come back and ask him for help!
Anyway, he was her husband. He should help her resolve her problems.
At night, Luo Cheng learned from Li Xiaoran why Qin Meizhen had come.
“Husband, I really don’t want to get involved in such a matter!” Li Xiaoran said, revealing her concerns and unwillingness.
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard this.
“Actually, this isn’t difficult! Qin Meizhen only asked you to advise her. In the end, she’ll be the one to make the decision. At that time, you just have to tell her the strengths and weaknesses of those people. As for who to choose, it’ll be up to Qin Meizhen and her uncle! If you do this, even if anything happens in the future, you can’t be blamed!”
When she heard Luo Cheng’s words, Li Xiaoran’s eyes lit up. The problem she had been worried about previously was resolved.
“As expected, my husband is awesome! I never thought of this before!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was no longer worried, Luo Cheng also smiled.
“My wife, you’re also very smart, but your smarts are all used in business. A person’s energy is limited, so you lack some experience in the ways of the world.”
Li Xiaoran nodded and also felt that she was lacking in terms of understanding the ways of the world.
She had no choice. She had been an introvert in the modern world and didn’t like to interact with others.
After she had transmigrated and was bullied in the Li family, she was saved by Luo Cheng before she could hone her skills.
“When our business grows bigger in the future, will we have to face all kinds of people? If I meet those scheming people, won’t I be schemed against?” Li Xiaoran suddenly felt worried for herself.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Don’t forget your ability! With your ability, how can you be schemed against?” Luo Cheng comforted.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately felt a sense of security.
“Besides, do you treat me as a decoration? Even if you can’t handle it, you still have me, right?” Luo Cheng added.
This time, Li Xiaoran was relieved and no longer anxious.
“As expected, it’s good to have a cheat!”
“Cheat? What’s that?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.
