A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

Chapter 115 Sworn Brothers and Sisters

Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, Tian Tian, ​​and others sat in the side room, opposite...

Manager Qian, Madam Qian!

Madam Qian spotted Tian Tian at a glance and, based on her age, knew she was the second daughter of the Tian family.

She liked it more and more the more she looked at it...

The more I look at it, the happier I feel.

Miss Tian Er inherited Madam Lu's good looks.

Moreover, her calm and composed demeanor perfectly matched that of her good son.

"Manager Qian? Madam Qian? You..." Lu Tao began tentatively.

When she rushed back after receiving the news, she was already getting ready to grab a broom, but luckily the other person introduced themselves quickly enough.

The owner and his wife of Fulai Restaurant are Qian Fulai's parents.

She immediately put down the broom and welcomed the person in.

But welcoming them in is one thing, discussing marriage is another.

"Madam Lu, we are here today to propose marriage to Miss Tian on behalf of our son, Qian Fulai."

Madam Qian smiled and said, "Although our Fulai is not very successful, he has a good nature and will definitely treat the Second Miss well in the future."

Lu Tao was completely dumbfounded.

Tian Tian often interacted with Qian Fulai, but it was all for business purposes.

What... the Qian family suddenly came to propose marriage?

She looked at Tian Tian, ​​who shook her head at Lu Tao.

Tian Tian is completely bewildered. What is the Qian family doing?

Her relationship with Qian Fulai was simply a friendship.

Lu Tao withdrew her gaze and smiled at Madam Qian, "Madam Qian, my Tian Tian is still young, and I would like to keep her for a few more years."

Tian Tian glanced at Lu Tao again.

"Also, Tian Tian and the young master are good friends, but there is no romantic relationship between them..."

Lu Tao looked at Tian Tian questioningly, and seeing her nod, she knew that all she had to do today was find a reason to refuse.

But Lu Tao felt a pang of regret in her heart.

Qian Fulai, the young master of the Qian family... is indeed a pretty good kid.

In business matters, always listen to Sweetie.

If Tian Tian marries him, she'll definitely have a good life.

Unfortunately, it's clear that Tian Tian doesn't have any feelings for Qian Fulai.

This is normal; Tian Tian has just turned 18 and is still very young.

Madam Qian listened to Lu Tao's words without taking it to heart. "The children are still young and haven't yet grasped the concept of romantic love. They'll naturally understand as they spend more time together..."

Lu Tao gave an awkward smile.

Spending a lot of time together can indeed foster feelings, but it can also breed resentment.

It concerned Tian Tian's entire life, and she was unwilling and dared not gamble with it.

Qian Fulai rushed over upon receiving the news, calling out, "Father, Mother."

He saw that both sets of parents were sitting face to face, and his face immediately turned awkward. "Father, Mother, what are you doing?"

Madam Qian said with a smug look on her face, "Son, you like Miss Tian Er, your father and I are here to propose marriage on your behalf."

She took Qian Fulai's hand and encouraged him, "My son, don't be embarrassed. It's only natural for a man to marry and a woman to marry. We've come to formally propose marriage. It's not something shameful."

Qian Fulai was speechless. "Mother."

He lowered his voice, "Mother, when did I ever say I wanted to propose marriage to Tian Er?"

"We're just friends!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Tian.

He thought to himself, "He really only has a mutual respect and friendship with Tian Er. She wouldn't like me, would she?"

Then he would really be letting her down.

Could she think... he's disgusted by her reputation?

Realizing this possibility, Qian Fulai hurriedly explained to Tian Tian, ​​"Um, Tian Er, I didn't mean to look down on you, I, I, I..."

He struggled to find the right words to express himself, and finally managed to stammer out, "I just don't like you."

Everyone was ashamed.

Tian Tian rolled her eyes, speechless.

Qian Fulai realized his mistake and quickly changed his tune, "No, I... I don't like you, but I admire you."

"We are good friends, good partners..."

"You could also say they're siblings."

He had never thought about getting married, nor had he considered who his marriage partner would be.

He just wanted to focus on making the Fulai Restaurant a success and not squander the family fortune his father had built up.

Tian Tian smiled, her thoughts were the same as Qian Fulai's.

She also regarded Qian Fulai as a friend and partner.

After all, if he hadn't given her a chance back then, she wouldn't have been able to start a business with Lu Tao and Liu San Niang.

“Young Master is right,” Tian Tian said. “Manager Qian, Madam Qian, thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately, Young Master Qian and I are just friends.”

She looked at Qian Fulai, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Father, Mother, you should go back quickly, or people will laugh at you."

Mrs. Qian looked at Tian Tian and Qian Fulai and found that their faces were calm and there was no suspicion in them. She felt disappointed.

What a wonderful girl! So intelligent and capable!

What a pity! My son is such a disappointment!

“Then, then…” Madam Qian looked at Manager Qian, hoping he would say something.

Only then did Manager Qian slowly raise his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

"Since Fulai and Miss Tian Er only have a brother-sister relationship, how about we become sworn siblings for the sake of our future relationship?"

Mrs. Qian was surprised. What was going on? She wanted a daughter-in-law.

“It’s just right. Madam Lu and Madam Liu are both women, and Young Master Tian is still young. If anything happens, we need a man to support him.”

"My wife and I also want a daughter to keep us company."

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang were both undecided and looked at Tian Tian.

Tian Tian frowned. If even Manager Qian and Madam Qian could misunderstand, then others would be even more likely to misunderstand her relationship with Qian Fulai.

Once spring arrives and she grows all sorts of novel vegetables, she will supply them to Fulai Restaurant.

Moreover, she had already thought that after the vegetables were grown, she would discuss new ways of cooperation with Qian Fulai.

Besides supplying him with food, she also wanted shares in Fu Lai Restaurant.

Therefore, she and Qian Fulai were destined to continue their contact.

To prevent misunderstandings from others, Manager Qian's suggestion was very appropriate.

"Okay," Tian Tian readily agreed after thinking it over.

Shopkeeper Qian stood up excitedly, "Okay, I'll go prepare right away."

Mrs. Qian belatedly stood up, wondering why she had gone to prepare.

Her daughter-in-law just became her goddaughter like that?

"master…"

Manager Qian pulled Madam Qian away, saying, "Madam, it is our good fortune to have Tian Tian as our goddaughter today."

Lu Tao and the others followed them out.

Someone recognized Manager Qian. "Manager Qian? You're back!"

"Just returned, and you've already brought your wife and young master to Baishi Teahouse? Is that right?"

The man immediately realized and said, "You've come to propose marriage to Miss Tian?"

"I knew it! The young master and Miss Tian are getting so close, there must be something going on."

"So, has Madam Lu agreed to this marriage?"

Manager Qian replied, "Agreed."

"However, we are not here today to propose marriage to Madam Lu, but rather..."

Shopkeeper Qian paused mysteriously for a moment before saying, "But we've come to establish a godparent relationship with Madam Lu."

He raised his voice somewhat deliberately, "From now on, my Fulai will be Madam Lu's godson, and Miss Tian will be my Qian Haiduo's godson."

“My family’s Fulai and Tian Ergu are sworn brothers and sisters.”
