Ye Mei did not notice the shopkeeper’s expression. She had been treated coldly by Ye Maocai for the past few days and was extremely agitated. However, she also realized that the Ye family was not a place to stay for long. Ye Maocai was a person who prioritized benefits. For benefits, he could sacrifice her at any time. She originally wanted to use the Ye family to climb up, but she did not expect that she would only be treated as a chess piece. The path that Ye Maocai paved for her was not what Ye Mei wanted.

Her gaze swept across me aazznng array 01 Jewelry, DUE sne was cmnK1ng about how to escape. If she escaped, where could she escape to?

Just as she was thinking, two more people came to the jewelry shop. It was a man and a woman. The man was about 30 years old and was dressed richly. He had an ordinary appearance and was slightly chubby. The woman was young and was dressed colorfully. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong fragrance. It was obvious that she was from a brothel.

The woman said sweetly, “Master, buy a golden bracelet for me.”

The man smiled and said generously, “You can choose whatever you want today. I’m in a good mood.”

Ye Mei thought that it must be a rich young master bringing a girl from the brothel to shop around.

The shopkeeper was already a little dissatisfied with Ye Mei’s absent-mindedness. Now that there were new customers, he simply ignored Ye Mei and said to the woman. “These are all new. Miss, you can take a look.”

The woman squeezed to Ye Mei’s side. The strong fragrance made Ye Mei a little uncomfortable, so she turned to look at the woman. When she saw the man beside the woman, she was stunned. The man also saw her and was stunned for a moment before saying in surprise, “Mei!”

The woman who was picking jewelry looked up at Ye Mei warily. The shopkeeper also pricked up his ears, thinking to himself that this man must be old friends with Ye Mei. After all, Ye Mei was the daughter of a merchant back then.

Ye Mei looked away in a hurry and wanted to leave, but she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She glanced at the man and suddenly said, “Let’s talk in private.”

The woman beside the man grabbed his arm and said, “Master, you promised me you would pick some jewelry for me.”

That man was impatient. He grabbed a few banknotes from his pocket and threw them to the woman. “Pick for yourself.”

After the woman took the banknote, she stopped pestering him. The man left with Ye Mei. Ye Mei put on a veil and said, “Let’s find a restaurant.”

In a private room in the restaurant, the man looked at Ye Mei and said curiously, “Why do you have so many guards by your side? Back then, you disappeared from Qinzhou without saying a word. I even asked someone to look for you for a long time. I didn’t expect you to be here.”

Ye Mei’s heart was beating fast. This man was none other than her childhood sweetheart. Back then, the Li family was a merchant family in Qinzhou, and this man was the eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Xinming. The Jin family was also a merchant family, and Master Jin and Master Li were quite close. When Ye Mei was little, Jin Xinming was already a young man. Master Jin even proposed to let Ye Mei marry Jin Xinming. Ye Mei had been ambitious since she was young, and marrying a merchant was not her ultimate goal.

However, although she hated Jin Xinming very much, she was very smart and never showed it to Jin Xinming. Instead, she was very considerate and obedient, making Jin Xinming fall head over heels in love with her.

Later, after the Li couple passed away, the Jin family was entrusted to take care of a few of the Li family’s shops, so Ye Mei was even more considerate towards Jin Xinming. Master Jin was planning to ask Ye Mei about her marriage. After all, the Li couple was not around, and the only person who could decide on the marriage was Ye Mei.

Ye Mei was naturally unwilling. In her heart, she would rather be an official’s concubine than a merchant’s wife. At this moment, the Ye family appeared. Ye Mei immediately came to Long Ye with the Ye family. Because she hated the Jin family, she did not even tell the Jin family. Jin Xinming naturally did not know that she had come to Long Ye..
