Chapter 149: Xiaobai Missing (1)
This day Li Zhu was busy at the stall and entertaining guests as usual.Among the guests, there was a well-built, ordinary-looking man of seventeen or eighteen years old, standing in front of the stall, staring at Li Zhu—Xiaobai beside him.

"That's great," said the man.

Li Zhu thought she was talking about food, so he smiled and said, "How many skewers do you want?"

The man pointed to Xiaobai and asked, "How much will you sell this dog for?"

Xiaobai turned his head and gave the man a bad look.

"This dog was raised for others, so it cannot be sold." Li Zhu replied.

"It's just a dog. I think the original owner doesn't mind if he left it behind." The man said confidently.

Li Zhu's attitude is very good, but his tone is very firm: "Since I have promised its owner, I will keep my promise. If you like dogs, you should look elsewhere."

The man didn't flinch, "60 taels."

Li Zhu shook his head: "If you don't sell it, it has nothing to do with money."

The man paused, then raised the price again: "100 taels."

Li Zhu still shook his head with a smile.

Being rejected several times, the man's face became a little ugly.

The man stared at Li Zhu for a while, and his tone of voice became cold: "Girl, have you made up your mind?"

Li Zhu was also a little displeased with his attitude, but she still said politely: "Young master, I have never thought of selling dogs, so how can I think about it?" Then she changed the subject and explained: "Actually, people and Dogs are the same as between people, it depends on fate. Young Master likes dogs so much, he must not have the heart to separate Xiaobai and me."

"Haha." The man smiled and left.Before leaving, he looked back at Xiaobai again.

"Woof." This male is really annoying.

Xiaobai sent the man away with a barking sound.

As soon as the man left, the people next to him started talking.

"100 taels, it's enough for people like us to spend half of our lives."

"Yes, yes, enough to marry ten wives."

People think that Xiaobai is not an ordinary dog, but a golden dog.

Aunt Li looked at Li Zhu and then at Xiao Bai, she was not elated like others, but worried.

Li Zhu was also thinking, is it wrong to make Xiaobai so famous?
She was lost in thought.Then I heard a gentle male voice say: "Miss Li is such a good dog. I'm so envious."

When Li Zhu looked up, his back stiffened.This person is none other than Wu Chengcai's cousin Wu Chengming.

Wu Chengming led two handsome servants, waving a folding fan, walking leisurely and looking gentle.It has to be said that Wu Chengming's rank and level are much higher than his cousin, who is also a dude.If Wu Chengcai was like a mad dog, he would bite anyone he saw.Wu Chengming is like a wolf dog, he only bites when he sees the target.

Seeing that it was the Wu family, Aunt Li looked a little nervous, so she walked to Li Zhu and greeted him politely, "Master Wu is a humble man today."

Wu Chengming smiled back, and kindly persuaded Li Zhu, "Do you know who the man who wanted to buy a dog was just now?"

Li Zhu shook his head, and Wu Chengming said slowly, "The man's surname is Bai. He is the nephew of Baizhi County."

"Oh." Li Zhu responded lightly.

Seeing her calm expression, Wu Chengming asked again: "How is Mr. Chen?"

Li Zhu figured out what Wu Chengming meant, not as if he was inquiring about Chen Guan's news, but as if he was probing something.

Li Zhu said: "Mr. Chen must have arrived in the capital. If the officials of Wu want to know more details, they can go to Cai's house to find out."

Wu Chengming closed the fan with a snap, then opened it again, and after two times, he said again: "Don't be wary of me. Although Wu is not talented, he is also a well-known figure in Qinghe County. I will not Go make things difficult for you little girl. My cousin is young, frivolous and ignorant, I just sued him the day before yesterday, and now he is still grounded."

Li Zhu heheed in his heart, but said: "I also believe that Mr. Wu is such a person."
