Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 688 - 687: Your Brother’s Got Your Back

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, but didn’t speak.

Le Xuan sighed softly, gazing at the flower room, "Le Zhao has been following Mr. Duan for the past two or three years. At first, I thought he really had no clue about business matters, but..."

He paused, looked at Shen Qinglan, and smiled helplessly, "Later, I felt puzzled. He’s always been extravagant, yet hasn’t asked me for money these past years. Suspicious, I had someone investigate privately. To my surprise, this guy not only does business, but his business acumen is even stronger than mine."

Shen Qinglan didn’t know why Le Xuan was sharing this with her, but she didn’t interrupt, just listened quietly.

"You must be aware of this too, Miss Shen?" Le Xuan said, "That guy Le Zhao is truly skilled at hiding things. If I hadn’t been more vigilant, I wouldn’t have noticed."

"What does Mr. Le want to say?" Shen Qinglan asked calmly.

"Le Zhao trusts Mr. Duan, and you are someone close to Mr. Duan," Le Zhao looked at her. "I just want to know, apart from his legendary charisma, what other businesses does Le Zhao have?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan laughed, "Mr. Le is joking. How could I know what businesses Le Zhao has? Besides, I’m not qualified to meddle in these matters, am I?"

She’s merely Le Zhao’s friend, not his sweetheart, so why bother with what businesses he has? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Le Xuan chuckled lightly, "I’m being impolite. I thought Le Zhao would have told you all."

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Why doesn’t Mr. Le ask Le Zhao directly?"

"I asked him, but he won’t tell." Le Xuan shrugged his shoulders, "That guy probably fears I’ll make him go back to manage the family business, so he won’t admit he’s secretly doing business outside."

"Forget it!" Le Xuan sighed, "As long as he can support himself, the rest is up to him."

"Then why is Mr. Le inquiring about his businesses?" Shen Qinglan was puzzled.

Le Xuan chuckled, "I have only one brother, naturally I want to see if he can support himself alone out there. I’m afraid solely relying on his charisma won’t sustain him, especially since he’ll have to support another person in the future. If I don’t ask, how can I rest assured?"

"I can only say, Mr. Le need not worry about this." Shen Qinglan smiled gently, "Le Zhao’s businesses can support a group of people for a lifetime."

"Hearing Miss Shen say this, I am relieved!" Le Xuan laughed, "Seems they are even more than I imagined."

"Brother, Miss Shen, why are you here?"

Le Zhao, walking out from the side, was slightly stunned upon seeing the two not far away.

Shen Qinglan turned around and smiled at him, "I was passing by and happened to meet Mr. Le, so I chatted a bit."

"I see!" Le Zhao laughed, "What were you talking about?"

Le Xuan shook his head, "Nothing much, where’s Dad?"

Talking about Mr. Le, Le Zhao’s smile slightly faded, "He went back to the banquet."

"You, oh you!" Le Xuan looked helpless, "Your temperament needs adjusting. No matter how much he says, isn’t it all for your own good?"

"I know he’s looking out for me, but brother, I don’t need it!" Le Zhao said softly, "I don’t want to return to the Capital. Though prosperous, it’s not where I yearn to be."

"Why?" Le Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Is he asking you to go back again?"

Le Zhao forced a smile, "Going back wouldn’t be an issue, but the rest, I can’t do it."

Upon hearing this, Le Xuan also curbed his smile, patted Le Zhao’s shoulder, and sighed deeply, "Do what you want, your brother is here!"

Le Zhao smiled knowingly, nodding slightly, "Mm!"

"Alright, then!" Le Xuan laughed, "I should head back to the banquet too."

Le Zhao nodded again, and together with Shen Qinglan, who was confused, they watched Le Xuan leave.
