When Tong Huaqiong and Lian Hengruo were discussing business and marriage, Gu Ruinian was not idle either; he was staring intently at Jufu Supermarket.
He lingered at the entrance of the Lian Family's home, risking being chased away by the gatekeeper, for several days without a chance encounter with Lian Hengruo.
He couldn't believe his luck was that bad.
While he lay sleepless, thinking of Lian Hengruo, he finally saw her carriage enter Jufu Supermarket.
Heaven did not let him down.
Gu Ruinian looked down at the unfinished story of a talented scholar and a beautiful lady overcoming family obstacles to be together and laughed.
Inspired by Tong Pandi and Li Ji's story from the teahouse next door, he planned to write his own tale about accidentally encountering and eventually binding ties with the second Miss Lian, hoping the storytellers would perform it.
