Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 242: Arrival in Texas

The moment Shangguan Xi reached out his hand, Gu Yu felt that the other party was a martial artist. He sighed in his heart, but said calmly: "Gu is Ah Li's wife."

"Tsk, Ah Li, you call her so affectionately." Shangguan Xi grew up in a military camp. Not only is her personality carefree, but her behavior is just like that of a man. She looked at the beautiful Gu Yu in front of her and felt a little dissatisfied.

Because he was stationed at the border all year round, Shangguan Xi rarely had the opportunity to go home. At home, Han Yili was one of the few good friends that Shangguan Xi valued.

So, when Shangguan Xi learned that Han Yili was already married, he felt somewhat disappointed.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said to Gu Yu with a smile: "I am Yili's good friend. Please forgive me for not being able to come back to celebrate your wedding with Yili."

Shangguan Xi continued, "Xiao San'er is weak to begin with. You'd better be nice to him in the future, otherwise my fist will..."

Shangguan Xi waved her fist demonstratively, as if she would beat Gu Yu if she dared to treat Han Yili badly in the future.

Gu Yu could naturally hear the threat in Shangguan Xi's words, but from Shangguan Xi's eyes, she did not see any admiration, only a conversation between friends.

Therefore, when facing Shangguan Xi's threat, Gu Yu did not feel angry, but said calmly: "Miss Shangguan, please rest assured. Since Yili is my husband, I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities as a wife and treat him well."

However, Shangguan Xi was not satisfied with Gu Yu's promise and retorted: "I'm not asking you to take on the responsibilities of a wife, but you must do it, understand?"

At this time, Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in a slightly teasing tone: "Does Miss Shangguan live by the river?"

Shangguan Xi was stunned for a moment, full of confusion. He thought to himself that his family clearly lived in the capital, so when did they move to the seaside?
Han Yili noticed Shangguan Xi's confusion and was worried that Gu Yu and Shangguan Xi both had stubborn personalities and might fight over something.

So he quickly interrupted their conversation and changed the subject: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask you about the situation in the sea ahead? Why did the ship capsize?"

Shangguan Xi was still confused by Gu Yu's words, but after hearing Han Yili's question, she immediately came to her senses and replied, "Well, in fact, the boatman drank a few more glasses of wine today, which caused him to be careless when driving the boat. He forgot to pay attention to the direction of sailing, and ended up accidentally hitting a reef and capsizing."

"This is a passenger ship sailing from Anyang County to the capital. There are more than 200 passengers on board. Only half of them have been rescued now. I didn't know whether the other half had been rescued before I came here." Shangguan Xi said expressionlessly.

She didn't seem to realize how shocking her words were. She even smacked her lips and sighed, "Tsk, if too many people die, the owner of this ship will have to pay a lot of money."

Gu Yu listened to her words and was speechless.

She originally thought that this girl didn't know how to read other people's faces, was stubborn, and didn't consider the occasion when speaking. She actually threatened her in front of so many people to be nice to Han Yili.

And now, looking at Shangguan Xi's expression when talking about the merchant ship having to pay compensation, Gu Yu just felt a toothache.

She really didn't want to respond to Shangguan Xi's words, and stood there motionless. Fortunately, Han Yili said at this time: "The merchant ship collected the fare from the passengers. Now that something has happened, it must pay some compensation."

In fact, Han Yili had something else in her mind that she hadn't said - if the people on the ship were just ordinary people, and the ship had sailed so far, the unscrupulous boatman only needed to play some tricks, and the passengers on the ship would not be able to get any compensation at all.

If there are one or two distinguished officials on board, the merchant ship will not only have to compensate the passengers for their losses, but also the cost of their luggage on board. Now all we can pray for is that there are one or two distinguished people on board who can put pressure on the merchant.

Shangguan Xi nodded and said, "Xiao San'er, don't you know that Daqi has revised the sea passage documents?"

Han Yili had heard of it before, but didn't know much about it, so she replied, "I've heard a little about it, but I don't know much about it."

"It's okay if you don't have a deep understanding. It's good enough if you have heard about it." Shangguan Xi originally planned to talk to Han Yili in detail about the newly added laws and regulations of Daqi.

A soldier came over and whispered something in Shangguan Xi's ear. Shangguan Xi said apologetically, "Xiao San'er, Madam Gu, I'm really sorry. I have some official business to attend to. I have to leave first. We can meet again another day when we have time."

Before leaving, she reminded him, "I am now working in Dezhou City and have my own residence in the city. If you come to the city, you can go directly to my house to find me."

"Okay, if we have time, Ayu and I will definitely come to visit you." Han Yili stood upright, watching Shangguan Xi walk away.

After Shangguan Xi completely disappeared from his sight, he turned to Gu Yu with a slightly apologetic look and said, "Ah Yu, Shangguan Xi is always like this. You must not take her words to heart."

"Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. Let's go back upstairs first!" Among the people from the Shangguan family and the Wang family, the only one she was slightly familiar with was Wang He.

Whether it was Shangguan Lin or Shangguan Xi, they had only met her once.

Want her to care too much about what others say? This is probably too much.

However, what is puzzling is that when they returned to the third floor, Han Yili's attitude towards Gu Yu became unusually gentle and considerate.

Sometimes he asked Gu Yu if he was hungry, and sometimes he cared if Gu Yu was thirsty.

Even after arriving in Dezhou and finding an inn to stay, Han Yili was still worried, fearing that Gu Yu would be unhappy because of Shangguan Xi's words.

Facing this man who was constantly courting her, Gu Yu felt helpless and could only say, "Are you hungry? If so, let's go downstairs to eat first, or ask the waiter to deliver the food to your room."

"Not hungry." Then he felt something was wrong and said, "A little bit."

Seeing his cautious look, Gu Yu said unhappily, "I've already told you that I won't take it to heart. You don't have to try to please me like this."

When Shangguan Xi was talking to Gu Yu, Han Yili clearly saw the impatience that flashed across Gu Yu's eyes, and she began to fantasize.

He wanted Gu Yu to completely forget about this encounter with Shangguan Xi and said, "I know, I'm just worried that you're hungry."

After hearing this, Gu Yu did not continue to explain to him. He asked Fang Tang to order food, and took Han Yili to find Gu Wu and the others to prepare lunch.

After the food was served and they finished eating, Angie said, "Xiaoyu! Just now, your father and I went to the market for a walk and found that the cotton sold in many shops was very cheap. Your father and I discussed that we were going to go out and have a look to see if there are any more affordable ones. Do you and Yili want to go with us?"
